Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 473: All parties are ready

The news of the imperial court hosting a competition quickly spread across the entire continent. Since the final match would be held at the Seek Tao Sect, coinciding with the sect's 120,000th anniversary celebration, the competition was named the Seek Tao Tournament.

Countless sects were eager to participate, ready to send their most talented disciples to compete.

A grand era was upon them, with geniuses emerging in droves. Many forces had hidden away their exceptionally gifted disciples, far surpassing those of previous generations, waiting for the right moment to make a stunning debut.

Now, the opportunity had finally arrived!

"The leaders of the five major immortal sects will serve as judges. With rewards like secret techniques, heavenly treasures, semi-immortal level cultivation insights, opportunities to explore ancient realms, and ancient texts... even I am tempted. If I were still young, I would definitely give it a shot!"

The head of the Sword Tower sighed. Why hadn't such an opportunity arisen when he was young? To battle with the most outstanding talents across the continent, not to mention the generous rewards. Even if the rewards were given to the sect, they would still be a great boon.

"Ming Tai, you are the most gifted person in our Sword Tower, the only one in a thousand years to receive the supreme true transmission. You must showcase your skills at the Seek Tao Tournament, make your name known across the world, and bring glory to our sect!"

"Ming Tai will not disappoint the sect's expectations!"

...

"I know you have always been low-key and unwilling to stand out. Even after becoming a true disciple and a core disciple, you haven't tried to win people over or form your own group. Instead, you have focused solely on cultivation, ignoring worldly matters."

"Master, I..." Kong Hao hesitated. He had chosen the Flying Waterfall Sect to keep a low profile and avoid trouble. He hadn't expected that trouble would find him regardless, and he couldn't push it away.

"If it were any other competition, not participating would be fine. But this competition is organized by the imperial court. Master doesn't expect you to become the champion. Even just making it to the final round and giving our sect a chance to attend the Seek Tao Sect's celebration would bring immense benefits to our sect!"

"Moreover, the judges for this competition are the leaders of the five major immortal sects. If they could give you some pointers, it would greatly benefit your cultivation!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Alright." He reluctantly agreed.

...

"Semi-immortal level cultivation insights? Great Xia is actually willing to offer such valuable items. Their worth is immeasurable. I've been serving the Great Yu Dynasty, sleeping until now, and they haven't even given me Tribulation Crossing level cultivation insights. Since they won't give them to me, I won't hesitate to take them from Great Xia!"

"With semi-immortal level cultivation insights and other rewards, combined with my single spiritual root constitution, my chances of reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage in the future will be even greater!"

"In the future, there should be a place for this true lord!"

...

"Heh, the final match location is at the Seek Tao Sect? How convenient. I was just considering how to infiltrate the Seek Tao Sect, and now the opportunity has presented itself."

"Seek Tao Sect, if something goes wrong during the celebration, don't blame me. Blame the imperial court's decision!"

"But with this, the Seek Tao Sect and the imperial court will definitely invite powerful figures to oversee the event. It might be tricky. I wonder what level of cultivation they will have. Never mind, to be safe, I'll bring everyone."

...

The Moon Laurel Immortal Palace.

"Lan Ting, the sect needs to select a Mid Golden Elixir stage disciple to participate in the finals. I have decided to choose you. What do you think?"

"Disciple will obey!"

After receiving the order, Lan Ting glanced at her master, who was wearing a veil, hiding her emotions. After a moment of hesitation, she boldly asked, "Master, will I get to see Lu Yang at the Seek Tao Sect this time?"

Luo Hongxia's eye twitched, and she gritted her teeth slightly, "Yes, you will definitely see him, even if no one else does!"

...

The Five Elements Sect.

"Bai Ming, our sect needs a Mid Golden Elixir stage representative to compete. You must bring glory to our sect at the tournament."

"I will complete the task. But I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"What happened to your face?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't."

...

The Suppress Hell Sect.

"Tianzhi, for this competition, I have no other requests. If you encounter anyone from the Five Elements Sect, beat them up. Don't hold back!"

"Understood."

Seeing Yan Tianzhi turn to leave, Yang Ding called out to him, "Wait, aren't you going to ask how I got these injuries?"

"Anyway, it wasn't me who did it."

...

The Slaughterhouse.

"Master, say something. Even if our Buddhist sect emphasizes understanding through intuition rather than words, you can't just give me a look and expect me to figure it out!"

"Master, why did you decide to practice the Silent Meditation? Now you can't speak, transmit your thoughts, or even write."

Master Jie Sha remained silent.

Shi Chan was speechless, putting down his butcher knife, pondering the meaning behind his master's gaze.

The Floating Temple was great in every way. The disciples got along harmoniously, resources were abundant, and Tribulation Crossing stage experts provided guidance.

The only problem was the riddles.

Shi Chan often complained that his master's words were as good as unsaid. Now, he didn't speak at all.

"Forget it, I'll just keep slaughtering pigs."

...

Meng Jingzhou arrived at Tianmen Peak. As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Lu Yang lounging in a chair, hands crossed over his stomach, looking lazy.

The eldest senior sister was not there.

"Why did you call me here?" Meng Jingzhou couldn't stand the sight of Lu Yang. Why was this guy acting as the acting sect master again?

Qiu Jin'an had taught Meng Jingzhou a secret technique from the Five Elements Sect as agreed. As soon as he returned, he received a message from the acting sect master, asking him to come over.

"Little Meng, come, sit, make yourself at home," Lu Yang said with a smile.

Meng Jingzhou looked around the cave. There was only one chair, and Lu Yang was sitting in it.

Should I sit on your head?

Lu Yang ignored Meng Jingzhou's glare and said slowly, "You must have heard that the imperial court is organizing a tournament to be held alongside our sect's celebration. The tournament is divided into many groups, each corresponding to a different minor realm. The sect places great importance on this event. After multiple discussions with the elders, we have decided on the participants for all groups except for the Mid Golden Elixir stage. It's been quite a dilemma."

"The disciple representing the sect must be the best. After much consideration, I decided to go against the majority and choose you."

Meng Jingzhou's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile. These words were music to his ears, warming him all over. "So, you're admitting I'm better than you?"

Lu Yang's smile widened, "I'm one of the judges."

He had endured hardships, serving the Immortal Fairy diligently, all for this moment.

"Damn it!"
