Chapter 141: Chapter 140: Discussing Possession In Front Of Me, Yellow Bean?_i

Rule number twenty-one of Buyi Town: [One need not adhere to the rules of Buy! Town if they leave the town or kill the Rudder Master]

When the owner of the medicine shop explained the implication of Rule number twenty-one to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, they were both reminded of the same idea.

Since they couldn’t leave the town or kill the rudder master, which of them would have the upper hand if the two were put into competition?

If the answer is unknown, then they might as well try.

Either way, whether the Rudder Master leaves the town or if they kill him, it would be beneficial for them.

If the Rudder Master leaves the town, then Buyi town becomes theirs. They could find another way to leave, such as using the private school teacher as a leverage.

Moreover, both of them didn’t believe that the Rudder Master leaving Buyi town wouldn’t shake it up a bit.

If they could kill the Rudder Master, then that would be even better. The two of them would be able to surpass him directly.

However, it’s not as easy as one may think to make the Rudder Master enter the departure passageway.

They didn’t know the location of the Ancestral Hall nor the identity of the Rudder Master.

No matter, they would stir up the waters of Buyi Town, then the Rudder Master would have to make a move.

Those who set the rules wouldn’t tolerate someone trying to break them as it would be akin to a direct slap to their face, pointing out the loopholes in their rules.

And so, the two of them chose to cause widespread disruption in Buyi Town using the rules.

Lu Yang started by throwing a smoke bomb, concocting the functionality of the jade pendant, deliberately communicating through paper, giving off the vibe that this was an unorthodox method that should be kept a secret.

Knowing that nothing that happened in the Little Town could escape the eyes of the Rudder Master, would Lu Yang dare to speak out or write down the method to overcome him?

The Rudder Master laughs at Lu Yang and the company’s arrogance, but fails to realize that he is also part of the arrogant gang. He was surprisingly fooled by Lu Yang and focused all his attention on the jade pendant.

Afterwards, the two of them played tricks on the county officials three times, telling the Rudder Master that his people were no match for them.

The people under his command posed no threat, and the Rudder Master had no choice but to personally resolve their trickeries.

The Rudder Master believed that by stealing the jade pendant, everything would be fine. He waited in the ancestral hall for the two of them to walk into the trap, only to realize that the two of them never intended to use the jade pendant. They just wanted the Rudder Master to appear in the Ancestral Hall. As for how Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou discussed, such a simple trick didn’t require any deliberation.

What kind of demonic sect Rudder Master would he be if he didn’t have many tricks up his sleeve?

Fast forward to the present time, at the entrance of the Ancestral Hall, the Rudder Master is deeply trapped in the bone-dissolving protective aura. The rule of Immortality and the “must die” rule are competing against each other. His body is constantly lost and restored, and the pain makes him wish he could kill himself on the spot.

“What on earth is this thing?” Lu Yang observed the Rudder Master, and claimed he had never seen such a monster.

“This is Beastification!” Fairy Eternity explained within Lu Yang’s mind. “Beastification?” Lu Yang rifled through his stored knowledge on Cultivation within his mind but found no corresponding term.

It must be a cultivation method from ancient times, which has now been lost. Fairy Eternity continued: “This cultivation method was popular during the ancient times. By using the Human Race’s body to devour the Demon Race’s, they could take advantage of both the human and the demon’s strengths—it was incredibly powerful. However, this cultivation method also had significant drawbacks, mainly the inability to achieve immortality.”

“One needs a pure body to achieve immortality. This kind of body, which is something of a cross between human and demon, can’t form the Dao Fruit critical for ascension. As a result, eventually, no one practiced this method anymore.”

“You mean to say this opponent is somebody from ancient times?” Lu Yang was puzzled.

“Not likely. People in ancient times all knew about the disadvantages of this kind of cultivation method. More likely, it’s somebody from later generations who have gotten their hands on this method and only know about its advantages, not the drawbacks.”

“It’s perfectly normal to think that the older and more lost something is, the better it must be. But old things aren’t necessarily powerful, and if something is lost, there’s always a reason. Maybe no one was able to cultivate it, or maybe no one wanted to. You have to look at things objectively.” Fairy Eternity shrugged, this kind of thing was very common in ancient times.

Like a youth who accidentally enters an ancient relic and obtains an ancient cultivation method. They might think they’ll be invincible, but they don’t realize that it’s precisely because the method is too old that it’s incomplete. Once they reach the nascent soul stage, the path is entirely cut off.

Who knows how many generations of cultivation methods have been changed, and how many people have died, before a complete path was formed—from the initial stage of qi introduction to becoming immortal.

Having been around for a long time, Fairy Eternity could easily reveal many pieces of knowledge no one knew about these days.

The Rudder Master glared at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, knowing that he was definitely not a fool. He knew he had fallen into a trap and immediately understood the calculations made by the two.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Eventually, the rule of Immortality was no match for the “Must Die” rule, and the Rudder Master’s body disappeared.

The outcome was as predicted by Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Daoist Buyu had initially said that rules couldn’t be too defying, such as the “Absolutely Invincible, Absolutely Immortal” type.

The Rudder Master’s “Will Not Die” rule wouldn’t be too absolute.

“Death? I, True Master Faxian, am indestructible, with a soul that never perishes. How could I capsize here!” A black soul jumped out of the Rudder Master’s body, it was different from the Rudder Master’s appearance.

The Rudder Master was the host for True Master Faxian to possess, not his true form.

Theoretically, since the Rudder Master’s physical body is dead, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou have passed the checkpoint. But True Master Faxian couldn’t stand this humiliation. As a high-ranking Great Power in the Unification Stage who had lived for thousands of years, he had outsmarted countless opponents. Yet he was tricked by two people in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He couldn’t bear it any longer!

Even if he had to break the rules today and risk damage to his soul, he had to kill these two kids.

“Hmmm, you still have the Sword Spirit Root?” Without the constraints of a physical body, True Master Faxian was more sensitive. He detected that one of the two was a Single Body Spiritual Root and the other was a Sword Spirit Root. They both had top-notch roots, both of which were hundreds of times stronger than the Rudder Master.

The Sword Spirit Root was the strongest in terms of attack capabilities. If there were a body of the Sword Spirit Root, combined with his “Defeating Immortals Secret Technique”, he would inevitably surpass his previous self, breakthrough the limitations and possibly reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!

And with his “Defeating Immortals Secret Technique”, even at the peak of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, he could defeat immortals. He would be invincible. Even when the Great Era comes, who would have the capability to handle him?

“It seems that this is an opportunity given to me by the heavens!” True Master Faxian laughed heartily. He couldn’t believe such a large harvest was at hand. It was like there was light at the end of the tunnel.

He regarded Lu Yang’s body as something he could easily obtain. What kind of waves could the Foundation Establishment Stage stir up in front of the Unification Stage?

He transformed into a cloud of grey mist, entered Lu Yang’s spiritual space, and prepared to possess Lu Yang.

Lu Yang stared in disbelief at True Master Faxian, a look of horror written all over his face: “You… You’re at the Unification Stage, yet you don’t even respect your own rules. And you wish to possess me?!”

True Master Faxian sneered coldly, looking down on Lu Yang with disdain. Ultimately, he was just a child, not understanding the true nature of the world: “I will let you in on a principle before you die, to ease your passing.” “Whoever is stronger is right; this principle has stood unchallenged since the beginning of time. If you’re not qualified enough to annoy a Unification Stage cultivator, then you should be well-behaved and realize your place!”

Lu Yang sighed: “Let’s all play by the rules and compete fairly. Since you’re willing to play by the rules, don’t blame me for flipping the table!”

He made a sidestep, revealing the person behind him. He made a gesture of surrender: “Fairy, it’s up to you now.”

Then True Master Faxian saw Fairy Eternity, who was sitting with her legs crossed in front of him.

Fairy Eternity looked arrogantly at True Master Faxian. A trace of a faint smile appeared on her lips, as if she were mocking or looking down on him: “Young man, you’re brave to talk about possession in front of me.”

“Hmmm?”

True Master Faxian was left perplexed. Why were there two people in the spiritual world, and why did the other person refer to themselves as an Immortal?

Unexplainably, he had a feeling of impending disaster.
