Chapter 201: Chapter 200: I’m Still a Baby!_1

“That guy in the palace rarely ever takes action and he stays in the forbidden area. It’s unlikely that it’s him.”

“Could it be Yun Zhi from the Seek Dao Sect?”

“That’s not right either. My clone is hidden next to the Immortal Eternity and the Eternity Sect is always careful and cautious. How could anyone sneak into their headquarters?”

“Could it be that the Immortal Eternity has awakened his conscience, turned from evil to good, and voluntarily surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty or the Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect, to seek leniency?”

The black figure felt particularly frustrated when thinking of those few people from the Central Continent.

Since the end of ancient times, he began to plot and plan. Everything was well planned, and there should not have been any problems.

The eras of Great Qian and Great Yu did not exceed his plans. He declared that there would be opportunities to become an Immortal in future generations, letting people sleep and wake up during the Great Era’s conflict, to create chaos.

But during the Great Xia Dynasty, one after another, people who were not part of his plan appeared, and even Immortals emerged.

Once someone becomes an Immortal, they are no longer chess pieces, but chess players who share the same position as him. This forced him to revise his plan several times.

“Especially that Yun Zhi, so young with extraordinary talent.”

“Sir, who is this Yun Zhi…” The servant tried to recall the influential figures of the Central Continent, including the Great Powers who could influence the destiny of the continent, but none of them was called Yun Zhi.

It’s rare for his Master to praise someone with such warmth. Just how amazing is this Yun Zhi to warrant such acclaim?

The shadow guy chuckled coldly: “She’s just a little girl from the Seek Dao Sect. A hundred years ago, when I went to the Central Continent, she came to greet me personally and eagerly asked where I came from. I didn’t feel like bothering with her, and she didn’t say much either.”

“After that, I saw she had some abilities, so I exchanged a few moves with her and gave her some guidance. After our spar, I wanted to leave, but she kept pursuing me, asking for more guidance. But I figured our interactions should be as plain as water, no need to force anything. It would be best if we just let our acquaintance end here; too much guidance might influence her path.”

“I used my escape technique and left directly, not willing to have too much entanglement with her.”

“Sir, you are the top cultivator in all of history.” The servant sang praises, drawing a hearty laugh from the shadow guy.

The servant was relieved to be following his Master in this Great Era’s struggle. A slight slip could plunge you into an irreversible situation. It was safer to follow his Master.

His Master’s cultivation topped the world; calculating the affairs of the Great Era, he would surely take advantage of the Great Era’s struggle. Just following behind him and feasting on leftovers would be enough for a lifetime of comfort. If luck permitted, he might even have a chance to become an Immortal.

The shadow guy thought of his spar with Yun Zhi from a hundred years ago and felt embarrassed.

Of course, he couldn’t tell his underlings that he was beaten severely by the young girl and had to make a disgraceful escape.

He had lived for countless years, and being defeated by a child and forced to run away was a disgrace.

These words can’t be disclosed to his subordinates. That would damage his reputation.

The shadow guy recalled the incident from a hundred years ago when he wanted to just take a look at the Eternity Sect to see how far he was from forming the Dao Fruit. But he was spotted by Yun Zhi before he even got close to the Eternity Sect’s headquarters and this ignited a great battle.

Thinking of Yun Zhi’s power, the shadow guy considered her as the number one person in the Central Continent and the biggest obstacle in this Great Era’s struggle.

Hence, since then, he has sent only clones to the Central Continent to avoid being caught.

“Could the Great Xia Dynasty be blessed with destiny?”

The concept of destiny is elusive. To become an Immortal, besides having talent and strength, luck is needed as well.

For instance, the guy who learned Verbal Spells and was at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage back then could also have become an Immortal. But his luck was bad, he met Yellow Bean and ended up dying in the middle of his journey.

The shadow guy pondered for a long time and still couldn’t come up with an answer. He simply gave up thinking about it.

“Nevermind, there’s no use thinking about it. Since my clone has been killed, it probably indicates that the formation of the Eternity Dao Fruit has been discovered by someone. The people in the Central Continent will be on high alert for Immortals sneaking into the continent. If discovered, it will cause unnecessary trouble, so I’ll stop going to the Central Continent for now. When the Eternity Dao Fruit is close to maturity, I’ll take action to pluck it!”

“If I can get the Eternity Dao Fruit, in the Great Era’s struggle, I will surely have the upper hand!”

“It’s really a pity about Fairy Eternity. She is destined not to be revived. She has the Eternity Dao Fruit, so if she doesn’t die, no one can get the Eternity Dao Fruit.”

“Back in that time, who would’ve expected that she would be the one to bear the Eternity Dao Fruit, that is truly something to be envied…”

The shadow figure gradually disappeared into the distance, his voice faded and he left the area, leaving behind only dry bones on the ground.

…

“What do we do about the Eternity Sect?”

Lu Yang asked, having achieved this mission’s objective to locate the Eternity Sect’s headquarters, arrest the Immortal Eternity, and even manage to force a clone of the enemy behind the scenes to self-destruct.

The only remaining question now is—what to do with the Eternity Sect?

If they hastily deal with the Eternity Sect, would it stir up the enemy and make them realize something is off?

Can they use the Eternity Sect to lure out the enemy behind the scenes?

Yun Zhi looked at Lu Yang in surprise, not understanding why he would ask this.

“Of course, reporting it.”

“What?”

“So many people, our Seek Dao Sect wouldn’t be able to manage it all. Let’s leave it for the Great Xia Dynasty to handle.”

Lu Yang was about to blurt out, “Since when did our Seek Dao Sect start using these kinds of legitimate methods?”

In Lu Yang’s memory, weren’t trials by torture, bribery, infiltrating demonic sects, and emerging as the top in demonic sect competitions all things the Seek Dao Sect did?

Oh right, half of those actions were his own doings.

“When should we report it?” Lu Yang seemed eager to try, finding a sense of fulfillment in bringing down such a large base.

Yun Zhi thought for a while: “Four days ago?”

“What?”

Yun Zhi explained: “Right after we entered the headquarters four days ago, I let my Divine Soul leave my body and went to the Great Xia Dynasty to report it. I didn’t make a move immediately because I wanted to wait until everyone from the Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refinement Stage had arrived before closing the net.”

“Of course, catching the Immortal Eternity was an unexpected gain, beyond my expectations.”

The Immortal Eternity felt that he really had too much free time. Why would he dare to attempt a possession when everything was fine? As long as he didn’t come out voluntarily, even if the entire Eternity Sect was destroyed, the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn’t be able to find him.

Yun Zhi turned her gaze to the Immortal Eternity: “As for you…”

The Immortal Eternity hurriedly said: “I failed to possess someone, which can be compared to an unsuccessful murder attempt. I shouldn’t be sentenced to death for that!”

“I’ve always followed the law and never committed a crime—you can see even the statue is reading the criminal law.”

Lu Yang did take a look. Indeed, the statue of the Immortal Eternity was holding the criminal law.

The Sect Leader acted fast, having already changed the Immortal Eternity’s statue to hold the criminal law, encouraging the followers to learn about legal matters.

“Moreover, my soul was complete only from the moment I got my name. And only five days have passed from the moment I received my name to now. I’m just five days old, still a baby. According to the Great Xia criminal law, I am considered a minor with no criminal responsibility, thus not subjected to criminal punishment.”

“I’m still a baby, so I beg of you to show mercy and let me go!”

Lu Yang stared at the Immortal Eternity’s face, aged to the point of falling into the grave, thinking the naming wasn’t done wrong at all.

You even dared to say such shameless words?
