Lu Yang’s notoriety was overwhelming. Not only did he overshadow the new talents who were deliberately hiding their strength to shine in this competition, but he even surpassed the fame of the sect leader’s disciple, Yan Fei.

He disguised himself as a ginseng fruit, deceiving everyone. Later, he wielded a demonic blade, striking fear into people’s hearts. No one knew how many people he had killed, but it was certain that the number was terrifying.

Meng Jingzhou was truly capable and was not afraid of Lu Yang’s notoriety.

“Heh, I heard that your demonic blade kills upon drawing blood. If that’s the case, I just need to avoid getting injured,” he said.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. “Big words. State your name!”

“Meng Jingzhou!”

“So it’s you. I’ve heard about your invincibility during the Foundation Establishment stage. Your horizontal training has reached its peak, earning the admiration of countless body cultivators!”

Meng Jingzhou snorted coldly. “You’re not bad yourself, Lu Yang, the Blood Sea Demon Blade. Your notoriety is so great that it scares children. Everyone says your strength surpasses Yan Fei’s. I wonder if that’s true or not!”

“Let’s find out!”

“Let’s do it!”

The two most eye-catching contenders clashed. Not only were the other competitors observing secretly, but even the high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect wanted to know who was superior.

Was it the cunning and deceitful Lu Yang, or the upright and straightforward Meng Jingzhou?

The sect leader and the deputy leader twitched at the corners of their eyes. If they hadn’t known that these two were in cahoots, they would have really believed that they didn’t know each other.

They were really good at acting.

The deputy leader finally admitted that the sect leader had a keen eye. No wonder he was described as a natural-born demon and a reincarnated Taoist demon.

He wouldn’t believe it if someone said these two were undercover agents from the righteous path.

Oh right, there was also Man Gu.

Yan Fei, who was hiding in the bushes, watched the two fight as if facing a great enemy. Both of them were qualified to be his opponents, posing a greater threat than the deceased Monk Jiu Rou and Gu Zha.

Lu Yang wielded his blade with sword techniques, his blade aura unstoppable. Meng Jingzhou had trained his body to the point where there were no flaws. When they made their moves, even Golden Elixir cultivators could be killed.

The competitors watched with trepidation, thinking that these two were simply monsters.

In the end, Lu Yang had the upper hand and defeated Meng Jingzhou.

Knowing that he was no match, Meng Jingzhou fled before getting injured. The crowd sighed. If Meng Jingzhou had been injured, they could have pursued and killed him together.

After killing Gu Zha and Monk Jiu Rou and defeating Meng Jingzhou, Lu Yang’s fame reached its peak, unmatched by anyone.

Lu Yang once again displayed his blade techniques, killing countless people. Even Man Gu, who was always fearless, ran away after seeing Lu Yang, refusing to confront him head-on.

Just when everyone thought that Lu Yang would become the strongest in this competition, Meng Jingzhou made a comeback.

Meng Jingzhou was full of vigor, unaffected by his previous defeat.

“Lu Yang, let’s fight again!”

Lu Yang sneered. “A defeated general dares to mention battle in front of me. Die!”

The demonic blade swung down, its momentum heavy, intending to split Meng Jingzhou in two. The crowd gasped. This was a full-force attack right from the start!

This was the move that Meng Jingzhou had lost to last time!

Just when everyone thought that the outcome would be decided with one strike, Meng Jingzhou unexpectedly blocked the attack.

Lu Yang realized that Meng Jingzhou was different and put away his arrogance, fighting with all his might.

Compared to the last time, Meng Jingzhou’s combat power had soared, and he was evenly matched with Lu Yang.

“Huff, huff, you’ve had a fortuitous encounter!” Lu Yang suddenly realized the problem. Meng Jingzhou had become stronger, and there was only one explanation.

This battle gave Meng Jingzhou a great deal of confidence. “Just by getting started, my combat power has soared. As expected of the Six Harmonies…”

Realizing that he had misspoken, Meng Jingzhou immediately shut his mouth.

Man Gu, who heard Meng Jingzhou’s half-sentence, fell into deep thought and muttered to himself, “Six Harmonies? Could it be the legendary ‘Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Technique’?!”

Everyone hurriedly asked Man Gu what this technique was, but Man Gu didn’t answer and ran away.

“‘Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Technique’, could it be the inheritance of an immortal?” The crowd murmured. The technique had the word “immortal” in it, making it hard for people not to think more about it.

The battle between Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou ended in a draw. Both sides knew that continuing to fight would not determine a winner, so they left by mutual agreement.

After disappearing for a whole day, Meng Jingzhou reappeared, his momentum even stronger than before.

Meng Jingzhou directly approached Lu Yang, who was wearing a cloak.

To everyone’s shock, Meng Jingzhou’s combat power had soared again, and he defeated Lu Yang!

The Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Technique was terrifying!

“Die!” Meng Jingzhou roared, his palm piercing through Lu Yang’s chest.

Lu Yang coughed up blood continuously, his life force rapidly draining away.

Lu Yang was tenacious and would not die immediately, but his death was inevitable and could not be changed.

“Haha, well done, Meng Jingzhou. You’ve actually obtained the greatest opportunity!”

Lu Yang’s expression was somewhat ferocious, perhaps unwilling to die like this.

He took out an old book from his bosom. Seeing this, Meng Jingzhou’s pupils suddenly contracted.

“How can the Immortal Technique be with you! You stole the Immortal Technique during the fight!”

The crowd was in an uproar. Lu Yang had stolen the Immortal Technique during the fight. What kind of skill was this, the legendary skill of stealing without a trace?

Then, everyone’s hearts were set ablaze. The Immortal Technique was in the hands of the dying Lu Yang. Didn’t that mean that anyone could obtain the Immortal Technique?

While coughing up blood, Lu Yang laughed. “It’s a pity that although I was fortunate enough to steal the Immortal Technique, I didn’t have the chance to cultivate it.”

“In that case, I’ll make the Immortal Technique public. Let’s see what advantage you, Meng Jingzhou, have left!”

Lu Yang threw out the Immortal Technique, using blood as words, and condensed the full text of the Immortal Technique in the air!

What a great opportunity!

Meng Jingzhou was furious and quickly dispersed the blood words, not allowing the Immortal Technique to spread.

But it was too late. Everyone was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with photographic memory. With one glance, they could remember all the content.

Lu Yang laughed heartily and breathed his last.

Meng Jingzhou was furious but helpless.

Everyone dispersed, looking for a safe place to cultivate the Immortal Technique.

“Why haven’t I become stronger after cultivating?” someone wondered. Didn’t Meng Jingzhou become very strong as soon as he started cultivating?

“Did I cultivate it wrong?”

In the dense forest, Lu Yang and the others gathered together, closing their eyes to sense people’s locations.

This was not an Immortal Technique at all, but a location technique. As long as someone cultivated it, Lu Yang and the others would know their location.What’s the biggest problem with fighting in a dense forest? It’s not knowing the enemy’s location. Now that all the contestants have scattered and hidden, it’s the perfect time to strike them down one by one!

The three of them set out together, killing anyone they encountered from near to far. The numbers on their marks were rapidly increasing.

Yan Fei didn’t rush to cultivate. He always felt that something was off. He found Lu Yang’s body, lifted the hood, and what was revealed was the bald head of Lu Yang.

It was a Bodhi Tree clone!

Everything was a sham!

He quickly made a judgment: “Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are in cahoots!”

“There’s no such thing as the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Technique, Man Gu is also with them!”

…

Far away, the sect leader who had witnessed everything had a strange expression.

Even he, the leader of the demonic path, thought these three were too cunning.

…

Inside the spiritual space, the Immortal Maiden who was immortal was a bit curious when she saw her senior sister deep in thought: “What are you thinking about?”

Yun Zhi sighed: “I’m wondering, will these three really not get killed by someone?”

Yun Zhi wasn’t worried about whether Lu Yang and the others could win the championship. What she was worried about now was that they would be killed before they could win the championship.

Actually, I wanted to start the Immortal Technique chapter with the sentence “To practice this technique, one must first castrate oneself”, but then I thought better of it.
