Excluding its identity as one of the five major immortal sects, Seek Tao Sect is also a well-known existence in the cultivation world. It is like parents warning their children not to play with bad kids, and elders often warn their disciples not to associate with Seek Tao Sect.

 

However, there are always disciples who do not believe in superstitions and mix with Seek Tao Sect, which is distressing.

 

Like Lan Ting.

 

Fortunately, the high-level figures in the cultivation world know that Seek Tao Sect is not beyond redemption. Since the previous generation of the sect leader disappeared, the new sect leader Yun Zhi has taken over, and the sect's reputation has improved significantly – mainly in that Seek Tao Sect no longer harms others, only its own people.

 

If Seek Tao Sect is seen as a mental hospital, then Yun Zhi is the director, one of the few normal people.

 

Yun Zhi is better than anyone else.

 

A hearty voice came from underground of Tian Ce Sect, and in the blink of an eye, an old figure appeared in front of Yun Zhi.

 

"Dao Yan, senior." Yun Zhi bowed.

 

Dao Yan, the senior elder of Tian Ce Sect, is an old antique in the cultivation world. Few people live longer than him. He is low-key and has never revealed his true cultivation level.

 

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

 

"I have some questions about immortals."

 

"Please."

 

"Please."

 

Dao Yan invited Yun Zhi into a secret room in the sect and served her tea.

 

"I don't know what aspect of immortals you want to ask about, friend."

 

"How much does Senior know about the immortal, the Undying Immortal?"

 

Dao Yan looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "The Undying Immortal? Friend, you have asked a good question. The Undying Immortal is the most mysterious existence among the five ancient immortals. If it were not for the Undying Sect's solemn declaration that they had found the ruins with records of the Undying Immortal, I would not even know of the Undying Immortal's existence."

 

"And even if there are ruins, it doesn't necessarily mean they are true. I have my doubts about the existence of the Undying Immortal."

 

"How so?"

 

"The ruins were discovered more than ten thousand years ago. For people today, they are ancient, but does ancient mean it's true?"

 

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

 

"A determined person could easily create a mysterious ruin in the Great Qian Era and wait for tens of thousands of years until someone accidentally discovers it. They would see the ruin and exclaim that the records on it are true."

 

"If there really is an Undying Immortal, why is there no other evidence besides this ruin?"

 

"There have been many discoveries of ancient immortal caves from the Great Qian Era. Why are there no records of the Undying Immortal?"

 

Yun Zhi nodded, and Dao Yan's words made some sense. "You also know that I just found the headquarters of the Undying Sect, but unfortunately, they ran away too fast, and I didn't catch anyone. However, I did learn some things from the information they left behind."

 

In fact, Yun Zhi did not get any information from the headquarters. For safety reasons, she didn't want to reveal Lu Yang's situation.

 

"I would like to hear the details."

 

"According to the Undying Sect, the Undying Immortal's Dao fruit has the characteristic of 'immortality.' As long as someone recites the name and title of the Undying Immortal, the Undying Immortal can be resurrected."

 

Dao Yan's pupils shrank, greatly shocked. This characteristic was extraordinary, and it was impossible to die even if one wanted to.

 

"Each immortal's Dao fruit has different characteristics. This matter is indeed true."

 

Dao Yan sighed and then said: "But this is still the word of the Undying Sect. I insist on my point of view that this is creating immortals.""The method is similar to the immortality of the Great Xia Dynasty. There is a hidden mastermind who created a nonexistent immortal, using the faith of the Immortal Sect. As time goes by, the Immortal gradually appears. When the power of faith accumulates to a certain extent, the Immortal will appear out of thin air."

 

Yun Zhi did not refute, quietly listening to Dao Yan's theory. The Immortal had already resurrected, so it was definitely not a created immortal. However, the theory of creating immortals had its merits, and the other three demon sects might be creating immortals.

 

Yun Zhi thanked Dao Yan and left.

 

The Sect Master of Tian Ce Sect approached Dao Yan, recalling the scene where she casually tore through the formation and feeling lingering fear. "Ancestor, how strong is Yun Zhi? Has she become immortal?"

 

"Don't ask, I don't know anything."

 

…

 

Yun Zhi visited many people, and Dao Yan was the last one. After finishing her business, she returned directly to the sect.

 

At this time, Lu Yang returned to Tianmen Peak and went to see his master again.

 

"How about it, what did the senior brothers say? Did they all say that under my leadership, Seek Tao Sect is becoming stronger and stronger?"

 

Bu Yu Taoist was full of pride, having made an indelible contribution to the development of Seek Tao Sect.

 

Lu Yang looked at his master with a complicated expression: "Indeed, your contribution is great, but everyone wants the eldest senior sister to manage the sect."

 

Bu Yu Taoist hung his head in disappointment, looking as if his heart was dead: "So it is like this? Well, let her take the position of Sect Master then. It's only natural for a new generation to replace the old one."

 

"It's not good for our Seek Tao Sect's reputation if a disciple imprisons his master for power."

 

"You let me out, and I'll leave and never mention the position of Sect Master again, never returning to Seek Tao Sect. How about that?" Bu Yu Taoist negotiated.

 

Lu Yang hesitated, thinking that Bu Yu Taoist had a point. 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 really want to go out like this?"

 

Bu Yu Taoist's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this voice.

 

Lu Yang looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see his eldest senior sister had returned: "Eldest senior sister!"

 

Yun Zhi responded indifferently with a hum, gently landing without a speck of dust on her.

 

"Master, did you deceive junior brother just to get out?"

 

Yun Zhi's words were devoid of any warmth, but to Bu Yu Taoist, they sounded like a volcano about to erupt, extremely terrifying.

 

Deceive? Lu Yang's heart stirred. Were his master's words all lies?

 

What was the truth?

 

Lu Yang's mind raced, quickly thinking of a possibility, and a very likely one at that!

 

His master had gone mad, and his eldest senior sister had suppressed him here for the greater good. Considering that family disgrace should not be aired in public, she didn't tell the elders about her master's madness.

 

His master took advantage of his eldest senior sister's absence to transmit a message to him, using sweet words to deceive him into lifting the seal and causing chaos in the world?

 

That was close, thank goodness his eldest senior sister had arrived.

 

Only to hear his eldest senior sister continue:

 

"You look at the other sect masters, they are all practicing diligently. And then look at you, idling away all day. Have you completed the daily practice tasks I arranged for you? Have you broken through your realm?"

 

"Didn't complete anything, and still want to go out and play?"

 

Bu Yu Taoist stammered, unable to say a word.

 

Lu Yang: "……"

 

What on earth was he thinking just now? How could such a bloody thing happen in Seek Tao Sect!
