Chapter 184: Chapter 183: The Strongest Ghoul _1

Lu Yang innocently narrated the entire course of events and brought out Fairy Eternity to testify, which finally convinced Yun Zhi that Lu Yang had been conducting an experiment just now.

The thunderstorm dissipated, and the rain abruptly stopped. Moonlight broke through the dark clouds, and the Seek Dao Sect once again returned to clear skies.

The disciples of Seek Dao Sect were unclear about what had happened. The rain hadn’t been falling for long, so why did it stop?

When it rained at the Seek Dao Sect, it was usually caused by an Elder escalating spiritual essence into the rainwater. The combined entities then fell together, irrigating the Seek Dao Sect and increasing the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Sect.

“What did I say? From tonight to tomorrow, it will be sunny after the clouds. Look, how accurate.” Fairy Eternity showed off her ability to predict the weather.

” “Lu Yang chose to remain silent.

Lu Yang noticed some familiar figures trailing behind his Eldest Senior Sister, notably Vice Sect Leader Liu and the other six high-ranking members of the Eternity Sect.

The seven of them looked utterly dispirited, their eyes carrying a vague sense of horror when looking at the Eldest Senior Sister.

“Huh, they’re all in spirit form.” Fairy Eternity was somewhat surprised.

“Eldest Senior Sister, what are you going to…” Lu Yang was confused.

Yun Zhi explained casually, “I’ve noticed they have a knack for grilling skewers and are quite popular among the Junior Brothers and Sisters. Instead of leaving them locked up in Captive Peak, it’s better to put their special skills to good use at a barbecue restaurant.”

“I will turn the seven of them into Ghouls.”

Naturally, the money earned by Vice Sect Leader Liu and his group would have to be turned over to the Eldest Senior Sister, dime for dime.

There are many ancient Unification-era souls suppressed inside Captive Peak, so there is no lack of raw materials for refining magic artifacts for now.

Lu Yang was stupefied. Why did this technique feel so familiar?

Moreover, turning someone into a Ghoul at the Unification level… Isn’t that the limit to what a ghoul could become?

By turning them into ghouls, there’s no need to worry about them turning against the Seek Dao Sect and causing a ruckus. If they harbored any malicious intent to harm others, they would die on the spot.

The Eldest Senior Sister, accompanied by Vice Sect Leader Liu and the others, returned to the “Try again” barbecue shop and asked them to live in peace and calmly run their business.

Vice Sect Leader Liu and his group quickly nodded in agreement, vowing to carry on barbecuing with dedication, refraining from using inferior products or overcharging customers, and serving every customer with the utmost professionalism and warmth.

Only then did the Eldest Senior Sister leave in satisfaction, asking Lu Yang to return to Sky Gate Mountain with her.

The “Try Again” barbecue shop opened smoothly, and many businesses came forward to congratulate the new store on its opening.

Initially, Vice Sect Leader Liu and his group were disdainful. Even if they were now in spirit form and had become ghouls, they were still Unification-level powers, figures commanding respect in the outside world. They did not want to converse with these businesses, feeling it beneath their dignity.

However, as they scanned with their Spiritual Sense, they began to sweat. Just by casually scanning, they had identified several inscrutable cultivators.

For example, the beautiful owner of the Hundred Fragrance Building, the keeper of the tea shop, and so on.

This meant that these individuals were also at the Unification level!

If there were cultivators of such great power hiding among common people, it would be alright. But for such a practice to be followed in the Seek Dao Sect too? Vice Sect Leader Liu also noticed quite a few cultivators at the Refining the Void stage. The cultivation levels of those at the Refining the Void stage varied greatly, and at their peak, they could even exhibit Unification-level battle power. As long as they did not make a move, it would be impossible for anyone to determine whether their current strength was high or low, making them incredibly intimidating.

“The hidden power of the Seek Dao Sect is too frightening…” they communicated secretly.

Going by this calculation, how many Unification-level cultivators could there be in the Seek Dao Sect?

“Who knows, maybe it’s not just the Seek Dao Sect. Among the Five Great Immortal Sects, it’s hard to distinguish who’s superior or inferior. The other Four Great Immortal Sects may be stronger or not weaker than the Seek Dao Sect.” Even though he was communicating through Spiritual Sense, Vice Sect Leader Gao also lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

“This is just a portion of the Seek Dao Sect.”

They finally realized the huge gap between the Four Great Devil Sects and the Five Great Immortal Sects. They weren’t even in the same league. No wonder they would hide or run whenever they encountered someone from the Five Great Immortal Sects.

If they didn’t hide or escape, they would end up like them—either turned into ghouls or refined into top-level magic artifacts.

Vice Sect Leader Liu and his group had a strange feeling of deja vu.

“Doesn’t this method seem eerily similar to ours?”

Upon returning to Sky Gate Mountain, Yun Zhi left her physical body at the Abode, and her Divine Soul left her body.

“Eldest Senior Sister, you…”

Prior to Lu Yang finishing his sentence, he saw his Eldest Senior Sister’s Divine Soul fly directly into his Spiritual Space, giving both Fairy Eternity and Lu Yang quite the scare.

“You—you—you scared me to death!” Initially, Fairy Eternity was lounging lazily in a soft chair, her jade legs crossed and eyes slightly droopy, she was thoroughly enjoying herself.

The sudden appearance of the Eldest Senior Sister scared her to the extent that she quickly stood up.

Eldest Senior Sister ignored Fairy Eternity’s reaction and spoke to Lu Yang: “I know the location of the headquarters of the Eternity Sect, but if I go there rashly, I may startle the snake in the grass like I did last time, and the people might have fled by the time I arrive.”

“This time, I’ll first hide in your Spiritual Space. If you follow my instructions, you can get into the headquarters of the Eternity Sect and ensure that all the enemies are captured without any leaks.”

Lu Yang felt like he could now play Fight the Landlord in his Spiritual Space. He understood his Eldest Senior Sister’s concerns, and this was indeed a good solution.

“What should I do?”

“First, go find Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu.”

The Eternity Sect headquarters, in the Master’s secret chamber.

Two rows of bookshelves stood on both sides, holding various precious elixirs, secret methods, techniques, etc.

Most of the elixir bottles were empty, the elixirs having been swallowed by the Master of the Eternity Sect for healing purposes.

At the end of the bookshelves stood a life-sized statue of an Immortal Eternity. It was impossible to distinguish its gender.

In the darkness, the Master of the Eternity Sect slowly opened his eyes, emerging from his meditative state.

He moved his limbs a little and sensed the still sluggish spiritual essence in his body, giving a bitter smile.

During the Sect entrance test, the sudden appearance of Yun Zhi from the Seek Dao Sect gave him such a powerful hit that he still hadn’t fully recovered from it.

“Looking at this, could I really need to meditate for a hundred years?” The Master of the Eternity Sect felt somewhat worried about his future.

If he could fully recover his power only after a hundred years, then who would lead the Eternity Sect in the meantime?

Among the three vice-sect leaders of the Eternity Sect, Liu and Gao had their eyes on his position, while only Jin, the vice-sect leader responsible for organizing the entrance test, had not yet shown any desire for this position. The Master turned his gaze towards the statue of Immortal Eternity, an expectant look in his eyes. He had a vague feeling that Immortal Eternity was starting to wake up.

He lit three incense sticks, placed them on the incense burner, and knelt down with hands joined in prayer, worshiping the Immortal Eternity idol three times. “Great Immortal Eternity Sha Meless, please save your devout followers and save this world!”

“Who is calling this immortal?” An ancient and benevolent voice echoed throughout the secret chamber.

The Master raised his head, his eyes revealing frenzy and joy. His body trembled slightly, his fingers were shivering, and he was so excited he couldn’t control his body.

Before his eyes, the statue’s eyes emitted a strange red glow, and the incense smoke enveloped the statue, forming a cloud of smoke.

The smoke changed shape, gradually transforming into a benevolent old man.
