Cultivation: Being Immortal

Outside the Holy Heavenly Sect gate in Zhong State

A flying boat slowly approached from the distance, and when the guards from the Holy Heavenly Sect noticed it, someone quickly went to greet them.

"Please stop, Taoist friend. This is the entrance of the Holy Heavenly Sect, and flying over it is not allowed."

As soon as the words fell, the flying boat also stopped, and a voice came from inside.

"I am Yang Luo’s old friend, Li Changsheng. Please inform him."

"Okay, wait a moment, Li Changsheng."

The guard instinctively replied, but then suddenly realized. Li Changsheng, isn’t he the person who has been at the top of the Holy Heavenly Sect Wanted List for a long time?

The guard’s face changed, and they secretly gave a warning. Soon, several figures rushed out from within the Holy Heavenly Sect, and Yang Luo was among them.

"Li Changsheng?"

"Haha, do you dare to come in?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

"Alright, please come in."

Yang Luo laughed loudly, waved her big hand, and the people behind her stood on both sides. The huge formation of the Holy Heavenly Sect’s gate also opened up.

Lin Jiang appeared from the flying boat, but then a burst of energy appeared, shattering the cloak on Lin Jiang’s head, revealing a face that was not human.

"Puppet?"

"Of course not, do you think I’m a fool? It’s like a gift to me."

"Puppet works too."

Yang Luo nodded, she was somewhat surprised, but she still wanted to know what tricks Lin Jiang was playing.

"The Holy Heavenly Sect doesn’t know how to be hospitable, not even willing to offer a cup of tea?"

Yang Luo led Lin Jiang into her cave, and he casually said, as if he was truly a guest.

"Can you still drink tea now?"

"Whether I can drink or not is my business, not giving it is your fault."

"Okay, I’ll serve you some tea."

Yang Luo smiled, waved her hand, and a servant naturally brought the tea.

"Do you want me to find you a woman, Li Changsheng?"

"No need unless you accompany me personally."

"I dare to accompany, do you dare to accept?"

"Don’t dare to ask for my real body."

"I always heard that the men of the Lin family are very domineering, but you’re not."

"Whether it works or not, it’s not up to you. You haven’t tried it."

"There will always be a day to give it a try. So, why did you come today?"

"Caught a few small fry from the Holy Heavenly Sect. Originally wanted to exchange them for my beast pet, but with your merciless nature, you probably won’t agree, right?"

"There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Holy Heavenly Sect. If they come to threaten me just by capturing a few, then what’s the point of me doing anything?"

Yang Luo said earnestly. Unless it’s someone very important in the Holy Heavenly Sect, no one can threaten her. If someone dies, so be it. The Holy Heavenly Sect doesn’t lack ordinary disciples.

"Alright, then I’ll send the corpse over later."

Lin Jiang tried to speak in the most plain tone, saying the cruelest words.

"Okay, I will give them a grand burial when the time comes."

"Ah, when it comes to being heartless, I can’t compare to you."

"Same here, you are also quite ruthless. Your Small Shadiao has been under my control for decades, enduring torture once every seven days, yet you never showed up."

"I want to meet him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang’s voice trembled. Small Shadiao endured so much suffering, being tortured once every seven days for nearly a century, yet he never revealed the location of the Wangxian Sect. At this moment, Lin Jiang’s emotions were incredibly complex.

"Unfortunately, it’s not possible at the moment. I don’t have anything for free. You have to give a small price."

"How about spending a night with you?"

"Why don’t you provide a straightforward answer? It’s not good to always take the indirect route. How about you answer a few simple questions for me instead?"

Yang Luo also struggled a bit. She was ruthless and more skilled in taking the indirect route than Lin Jiang. She couldn’t use the methods of the lower path, after all, she was a girl.

"Answering questions is impossible, but I can ask you more questions if you like. Do you want to hear? It’s very exciting and scary!"

"Listen carefully."

"Do you know how big the cultivation world is?"

"I don’t know. There are many territories of the demon clan that the human clan has not explored."

"Then do you know how big the universe is?"

"Here we go again!"

Yang Luo’s heart skipped a beat. Damn it, is there any new strategy? No, she couldn’t suppress her Heart Demon anymore.

"I am seriously discussing with you."

"Alright, since you are challenging my Heart Demon, let’s not break or establish anything. You continue."

Yang Luo clenched her teeth and said. The stronger the Heart Demon suppresses, the stronger the rebound. It’s better to just let go.

"Let me share a little knowledge with you. The speed of light, you can think of it as the speed of sunlight through fiber optics. In one second, which is less than a single breath for us, light can travel 600,000 miles. That’s equivalent to the farthest point in the North of North State to the southern end of Zhong State. And when you casually observe a few stars at night, their distance might be thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light-years, which is the distance light travels in one year. This is the universe."

"It is terrifying. The universe is so vast. Even in the Mahayana Period, with all one’s life’s efforts, it would be difficult to walk the hundreds of thousands of light-years you mentioned. But it doesn’t have such a big effect on my Heart Demon."

"That’s a pity."

Lin Jiang nodded, feeling a bit bad. He had been too forceful before, and now Yang Luo had become immune. If he had known, he would have taken it step by step. Over a hundred questions would drive Yang Luo crazy.

"Are you not from this world? I have gathered all the information that the cultivation world can gather, but I haven’t found any clues to those questions of yours."

"Exactly! You’re in the same situation. I couldn’t find any information on the secret techniques you used."

Lin Jiang replied that there was nothing to hide. Different civilizations are easy to recognize, especially since Yang Luo was one of the smartest people in this world.

"How about we have an open and honest conversation? You tell me your secret, and I’ll tell you mine."

"Maybe not, I’m not used to opening up to women. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to harm her in the end. Oh well, who made me a kind person, right?"

"Can this puppet of yours stay for many years? Don’t rush to leave, stay and play slowly, how about it?"

"That’s exactly what I mean."

Lin Jiang nodded, that’s right, he came to ruin Yang Luo’s mind. If he doesn’t achieve his goal, he won’t give up. Naturally, he won’t leave easily. Besides, his true identity is already hidden. Lin Jiang doesn’t believe that he can still be found.

·······

"Brother, is that you?"

"It’s me, Small Shadiao."

"Wow, brother, how did you become like this? It’s not worth it to be so down."

"Are you stupid? This is a puppet."

"Hehe, just kidding, just joking"

Small Shadiao grinned, and his grin made his wound hurt. He grinned with his teeth showing.

"Yang Luo, give me some medicine to heal my injury."

"Okay."

Yang Luo threw a pill to Small Shadiao, who quickly opened his mouth and swallowed it.

"Do you want me to find a separate place for you?"

"No need, we’ll manage."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Separate place? What a joke. He couldn’t trust Yang Luo at all. She would definitely eavesdrop and spy on them. It was better to have her nearby.

"Brother, if you don’t come soon, I won’t be able to hold on much longer. It hurts so much."

Small Shadiao’s eyes were filled with tears, it really hurt a lot. He endured round after round of torture, each time telling himself to hold on a little longer, that the next time he would give in, but every time he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"I know, having a brother like you, Lin Jiang, in my life makes it all worthwhile."

"Brother, hide your true self, don’t come out anymore. Remember to take a poop on Yang Luo’s grave after thousands of years and help me seek revenge."

"Small Shadiao, you’re being naughty again."

Yang Luo couldn’t bear it any longer. Of course, she was even more afraid that Lin Jiang would really find a place to hide. She knew that Lin Jiang had a long lifespan, and she couldn’t endure it.

"If you have the guts, just kill me, stop whining."

"Having a master to support you gives you strong character. I hope later on, you won’t beg for mercy like before. I like your rebellious attitude."

"Ahem, um, sorry, I got carried away earlier."

Small Shadiao shrunk his neck, feeling timid. A smart bird doesn’t take unnecessary risks.

"Don’t worry, you’ll also have a chance to dance at her graveside in the future."

Lin Jiang said, he couldn’t stand Yang Luo’s arrogant look. He thinks he’s so powerful, but can he really live up to it? If Lin Jiang truly wanted to, he could hide and let her suffer.

"Li Changsheng, you’ve seen the person too, should we continue?"

"No rush, no rush, there’s still one person we haven’t seen."

Lin Jiang said, he still had to go and check on Lin Dongyan, he needed to know Lin Dongyan’s situation first.

"If I satisfy all your demands, then I would have no dignity left, I can’t agree."

Yang Luo refused directly, both of the people she caught were tough nuts, and Lin Dongyan didn’t reveal anything. Of course, the main reason Yang Luo refused to let Lin Jiang see Lin Dongyan was because she hadn’t interrogated him yet, so she didn’t want to give them a chance to collude.

"You see, just when I wanted to compliment you, you become distant, never get a chance to praise. As a prestigious Void Achieving Ancestor, where’s your magnanimity? Where’s your breadth of mind?"

Lin Jiang turned to Yang Luo and said, the exaggerated appearance of the puppet made Yang Luo’s heart skip a beat, feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
