Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 476: The opening ceremony

The bell tolled, and the guests gathered like clouds, surrounding the altar.

All eyes were on Lu Yang, who was dressed in ceremonial robes, his expression solemn and dignified.

As Lu Yang walked step by step towards the altar, the crowd instinctively made way for him.

No one knew that Lu Yang was currently engaged in an internal struggle.

"Let me take over!"

"Immortal Fairy, are you reliable? How about I do it for you?"

"I've been worshipped since ancient times; I know the process better than you!"

After a fierce internal battle, Lu Yang was forced to relinquish control of his body.

The Immortal Fairy ascended the white jade-carved altar, her steps steady and powerful, as if she had traversed the ages, bringing with her the weight of history.

"Who is this person? He looks so young," the older generation watching the ceremony were puzzled, unable to match him with anyone they knew.

"I heard he's Bu Yu Taoist's young disciple, Lu Yang. He's been in the limelight recently. Some say he's invincible at the Golden Elixir stage, the top of the younger generation."

"Invincible at the Golden Elixir stage?"

This title carried significant weight. The Golden Elixir stage held a crucial position in the entire cultivation system. To be invincible at this stage meant limitless future potential!

"But even if he's invincible at the Golden Elixir stage, he shouldn't be on the altar."

"Rumor has it that Bu Yu Taoist is grooming this young disciple, making him the acting sect leader, and entrusted him with organizing such a grand event."

"Rumors are unreliable. In my opinion, it's because Bu Yu Taoist doesn't dare to show his face and pushed his young disciple to the forefront."

"That sounds like something Bu Yu Taoist would do."

"Achieving such accomplishments at a young age is extraordinary. I wonder if this Lu Yang has someone he fancies. I have a few daughters of suitable age and decent talent at home."

"But he's Bu Yu Taoist's young disciple."

"Then forget it."

Dong—

As the Immortal Fairy ascended the altar, the chime bells rang, their ancient and majestic sound transporting everyone back ten thousand years.

The Fourth Elder and his disciples were playing the Seek Tao Sect’s ceremonial music.

As a Confucian cultivator, the Fourth Elder was proficient in music. His flute playing could attract a hundred birds to worship. In his youth, this skill had attracted countless young ladies.

The altar worshipped three tall statues covered in red cloth. The Great Elder cast a spell and pulled down the red cloth, revealing the true forms of the statues.

The statues were of the Xiantian Taoist, the founder of the Seek Tao Sect; Returning to Origin Celestial, the founder of the immortal sect; and Daoist Hanhai, the reviver of the sect.

These three held special significance in the Seek Tao Sect and were known as the Three Ancestors of the Seek Tao Sect. When Lu Yang became a disciple, it was under the witness of these three ancestral tablets.

The Immortal Fairy held a jade scepter, clasped her hands together with the left hand on top, palms inward, and bowed three times towards the tablets.

Yun Zhi, watching the Immortal Fairy's precise and formal bowing from below the altar, nodded in satisfaction.

Logically, even if Lu Yang became the acting sect leader, he wouldn't be qualified to represent the entire Seek Tao Sect in the ceremony.

But the one standing on the altar was not Lu Yang, but the Immortal Fairy.

As one of the five ancient immortals and the possessor of the Immortal Dao Fruit, the Immortal Fairy bowing to the Three Ancestors of the Seek Tao Sect was not a matter of her qualifications, but rather whether the Three Ancestors' destinies were strong enough.

The Immortal Fairy lit the incense, and in the curling smoke, she recited the sacrificial text, her voice clear and resonant, echoing through the Seek Tao Sect.

"O revered holy spirits, born in the ancient depths... we offer silk and sacrificial grains, abundant offerings..."

The sacrificial text was ordered by the Immortal Fairy, who then ordered Lu Yang, who in turn ordered the Fourth Elder to write it.

As the most cultured person in the entire Seek Tao Sect, the Fourth Elder took on the task without hesitation.

The Immortal Fairy could tell at a glance that the Fourth Elder's sacrificial text was of high quality—many of the characters she didn't recognize, and the ones she did were difficult to pronounce.

After finishing the recitation, the Immortal Fairy smiled with satisfaction.

She felt great.

In the past, others worshipped her; today, she finally got to worship someone else.

As the acting sect leader and guest elder, it was reasonable for her to bow to the Three Ancestors of the Seek Tao Sect.

"Our sect has prepared various activities. Enjoy yourselves, rest for a day, and the finals will begin tomorrow."

Lu Yang's plan for the celebration was: start the celebration—guests enjoy themselves—finals begin—closing ceremony.

The purpose of the righteous path was to find ancient cultivators who had started over after dispersing their cultivation through this competition.

But Lu Yang felt that it would be difficult to observe whether the other party was an ancient cultivator based solely on their performance in the competition. So, he proposed to observe the contestants' actions during the celebration activities, combined with their performance in the competition, to make a judgment.

This idea was immediately approved by the Emperor of Xia and the other sect leaders.

Many cultivators responsible for observation were planted in the Seek Tao Sect, some sent by the imperial court, some by the immortal sects, all skilled in flattery and observation.

The Seek Tao Sect didn't have many flatterers, so they didn't send anyone.

After the ceremony, a group of veteran cultivators remained very interested in Lu Yang. Elder Sikong and Lu Baqian were among them, all good dao friends.

"I heard this junior has extraordinary combat power, making the sect leaders of the four major immortal sects lose face and suffer serious injuries."

"That's a rumor. How could someone at the Golden Elixir stage have such combat power? Even a reincarnated immortal couldn't do that."

"You can't say that. In a great era, it's not surprising to see any kind of genius. Haven't you heard of someone in ancient times who was born at the Tribulation Crossing stage, with unparalleled cultivation, and eventually became an immortal?"

"Now that you mention it, it does make some sense. But I still feel something is off about this."

"Look, Qiu Jin'an and the others are over there. Why don't we ask them?"

"Let's go ask."

Cultivators act decisively, doing whatever comes to mind.

Qiu Jin'an and his three companions had dark expressions, looking around for Bu Yu Taoist.

The story of "Legend of the Seek Tao Sect—Lu Yang's Chapter" had reached their ears, and they knew it was the handiwork of that scoundrel Bu Yu Taoist.

After a month and a half of recuperation, their injuries had healed. Yang Ding's hair had grown back, and Master Jie Sha's hair had returned to normal. Everything was as it was.

"Daoist Qiu, I heard Lu Yang defeated the four of you. Is it true?" The veteran cultivators approached Qiu Jin'an and his companions, asking bluntly, their faces eager to watch the drama unfold.

The four of them turned dark, unsure how to respond.

"It's true, but..." Qiu Jin'an nodded helplessly, just about to explain when Lu Baqian interrupted.

"Daoist Qiu, that's not right. A loss is a loss. Winning and losing are normal in cultivation. How can you make excuses?"

As a Tribulation Crossing stage expert, Lu Baqian's words carried significant weight.

"Exactly, exactly. Old Qiu, you always say cultivators should be open and honest, and admit their shortcomings. Why don't your words apply to yourself?"

"This attitude is detrimental to your future cultivation."

Everyone chimed in, getting more and more enthusiastic. They couldn't miss this rare opportunity to mock Qiu Jin'an and his companions.

Qiu Jin'an, unable to bear it any longer, gave Luo Hongxia a look. Luo Hongxia understood, took out the Light Confining Box, and the box emitted light, capturing everyone inside.

Balancing cultivation levels required mutual consent, but capturing people inside the box was something Luo Hongxia could decide on her own.

"Attack!"

Inside the box, Master Jie Sha was the first to strike, while Qiu Jin'an and the other two provided cover, beating the veteran cultivators into a miserable state.

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
