Chapter 112

Excluding its status as one of the five great immortal sects, the Congwendao Sect is also a famous existence in the Cultivation Realm. Just as parents warn their children not to play with bad children, elders often warn their disciples not to associate with the Congwendao Sect.

However, there are always disciples who don't believe in evil and hang out with the Congwendao Sect, which is heartbreaking.

For example, Lan Ting.

Fortunately, the higher-ups in the Cultivation Realm know that the Congwendao Sect is not beyond saving. Since the disappearance of the previous generation's Congwendao Sect Master and the succession of the new generation's Sect Master, Miss Yun Zhi, the atmosphere of the Congwendao Sect has improved significantly—mainly manifested in the fact that the Congwendao Sect doesn't harm others, only its own people.

If the Congwendao Sect is seen as a mental hospital, then Miss Yun Zhi is the dean, one of the rare normal people.

Miss Yun Zhi's visit is always better than others' visits.

A hearty voice came from beneath the Tiance Sect, but in the blink of an eye, an old figure appeared before Miss Yun Zhi.

"Master Dao Yan." Yun Zhi cupped her hands.

Master Dao Yan, the Tiance Sect's Supreme Elder, an old antique of the Cultivation Realm. Few people have lived longer than him. He is low-key and has never revealed his true cultivation base.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?" Master Dao Yan dared not neglect Yun Zhi and addressed her as a Fellow Daoist.

"A question regarding immortals."

"Please."

"Please."

Master Dao Yan invited Yun Zhi into a secret room within the sect and poured tea for her.

"I don't know which aspect of immortals you wish to ask about, Daoist friend?"

"How much does the Master know about the Decayed Immortal?"

Master Dao Yan showed a troubled expression and smiled bitterly: "The Decayed Immortal? Fellow Daoist has asked a good question. The Decayed Immortal is the most mysterious existence among the five ancient immortals. If it weren't for the Decayed Sect's adamant claims of discovering ruins containing records of the Decayed Immortal, I wouldn't even know of the Decayed Immortal's existence."

"And even if there are ruins, they may not be real. I hold a skeptical attitude toward the existence of the Decayed Immortal."

"How so?"

"The ruins discovered over ten thousand years ago are ruins to people today, they are ancient, but does ancient mean real?"

"I heard the ruins are products of the Great Qian era, but what of the Great Qian era? It is already a new era, tens of thousands of years away from the ancient era."

"Someone with intentions could completely create an incomprehensible ruin during the Great Qian era. After one or two hundred thousand years, someone accidentally discovers it, sees it's a ruin, and cries out in surprise, thinking what is recorded on the ruin is true."

"If there really were a Decayed Immortal, why is there no other evidence to corroborate it besides these ruins?"

"It's not like it's the first or second time a cave dwelling from the Great Qian era has been dug up, so why are there no records of the Decayed Immortal?"

Yun Zhi nodded; Master Dao Yan's argument also had some merit: "You also know that I just found the headquarters of the Decayed Sect. Unfortunately, they ran too fast, and I didn't catch a single person. However, I did learn some things from the materials they left behind."

In fact, Miss Yun Zhi didn't get any intelligence from the headquarters; out of safety considerations, she didn't want to talk about Lu Yang's matter.

"I would like to hear the details."

"According to the Decayed Sect's claims, the Decayed Immortal's Dao fruit characteristic can be called 'Indestructible.' As long as someone recites the Decayed Immortal's name and immortal title, the Decayed Immortal can be resurrected."

Master Dao Yan's pupils shrank, greatly shocked. This characteristic is incredible; it's simply being unable to die even if one wants to.

"Every immortal Dao fruit has different characteristics; this matter is indeed true."

Master Dao Yan sighed, then said: "However, this is ultimately the Decayed Sect's one-sided statement. I insist on my view: this is creating an immortal."

"The method is similar to the Great Xia Dynasty's national fortune becoming immortal. A mastermind fabricated a non-existent immortal, and using the Decayed Sect's faith, after day-by-day accumulation, the Decayed Immortal gradually manifests. When the power of faith accumulates to a certain degree, the Decayed Immortal will appear out of thin air, from nothing to something."

Yun Zhi did not refute him and listened quietly to Master Dao Yan's theory. The Decayed Immortal has already been resurrected, so it is definitely not creating an immortal, but the theory of creating an immortal has its merits. The other three demon sects might just be creating immortals.

Yun Zhi thanked Master Dao Yan and drifted away.

The Tiance Sect Master approached Master Dao Yan, thinking of the scene where she tore through the formation just now, and still felt lingering fear: "Ancestor, just how strong is Yun Zhi? Has she become an immortal?"

"Don't ask, I know nothing."

Yun Zhi visited many people, and Master Dao Yan was the last one. With the matter concluded, she returned directly to the sect.

At this time, Lu Yang returned to the Heaven Gate Peak and sought out his master again.

"How was it? What did the senior brothers say? Did they all say that under my leadership, the Congwendao Sect is becoming increasingly prosperous?"

Bu Yu Daoist was triumphant; he had made indelible contributions to the development of the Congwendao Sect.

Lu Yang looked at his master with a complex expression: "Indeed, your contributions are great, but everyone hopes more for the Senior Sister to manage the sect."

Bu Yu Daoist was dejected, looking as if his heart was already dead: "Is that really the case? So be it, then let her sit in this Sect Master position. It is only natural for the new generation to replace the old."

"For a disciple to imprison their master for the sake of power, it wouldn't sound good if it got out, and it would damage our Congwendao Sect's reputation."

"If you let me out, I will fly far away, never mention the Sect Master position again, and never return to the Congwendao Sect. How about that?" Bu Yu Daoist negotiated.

Lu Yang hesitated, feeling that Bu Yu Daoist's words made sense. His master didn't seem like someone who would fight for power. Just as he was considering whether to let his master out, a cold voice came from above.

"Master, do you want to get out that much?"

Hearing this voice, Bu Yu Daoist's expression changed drastically.

Lu Yang looked up and saw with joy that the Senior Sister had returned: "Senior Sister!"

Miss Yun Zhi gave a faint "hmm," landed lightly, not stained by a single speck of dust.

"Master, did you deceive the Junior Brother just to get out?"

Miss Yun Zhi spoke without a trace of fireworks, but to Bu Yu Daoist, it sounded like a volcano about to erupt; it was terrifying.

Deceive? Lu Yang's heart stirred. Could it be that everything the Master told him was a lie?

Then what is the truth?

Lu Yang's brain worked at high speed, and he soon thought of a possibility, and a highly likely one at that!

The Master suffered from qi deviation, and the Senior Sister destroyed her relatives for the sake of righteousness, suppressing the Master here. Considering that family shame should not be spread, she didn't tell the elders about the Master's qi deviation.

The Master took advantage of the Senior Sister's absence to transmit his voice to him, using flowery words to trick him into uncovering the talisman to wreak havoc on the world?

That was close, that was close. Fortunately, the Senior Sister came.

He only heard the Senior Sister continue:

"Look at the sect masters of other immortal sects; they are all cultivating diligently. Look at you, idling away every day. Have you finished the daily cultivation homework I assigned you? Have you broken through your realm?"

"You haven't finished anything, and you still want to come out and play?"

Bu Yu Daoist stammered and couldn't say a word.

Lu Yang: "……"

What the hell was I thinking just now? How could that kind of melodramatic thing happen in the Congwendao Sect!
