Greatly Improved

Lu Yang was overjoyed to learn that his senior sister had affirmed 20% of what he had painstakingly written.

It's rare to receive recognition from my senior sister, and even if it's only 20%, it's still a valuable achievement. This is a good start.

This is much better than the last one I wrote, which was completely rejected.

His efforts of studying diligently in the Scripture Depository for more than half a month, neglecting sleep and meals, and writing for more than two days were worthwhile.

This time, he received 20% affirmation from his senior sister; next time, he will receive 40%. Before long, he will be able to write Cultivation Method that is on par with his senior sister's level.

The future looks bright!

Just as Lu Yang was about to modestly express that he still needed to work harder, he heard his senior sister continue:

"I won't change the remaining 20% of the content, since you quoted sentences I wrote."

Lu Yang: "..."

Senior Sister, could you please not breathe so heavily next time you speak?

Inside the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy laughed so hard she almost fell over, rolling around on the bed, laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Seeing her junior brother's visibly disappointed expression, Yun Zhi comforted him, "That's quite good. At least you can correctly quote the sentences I wrote."

Lu Yang didn't feel comforted at all.

Seeing that her junior brother was still dejected, Yun Zhi realized that she might not be good at comforting people.

Back when the Five Great Immortal Sects competed, she defeated all her opponents and became the undisputed number one. In order to warn her not to be arrogant and complacent, the sect leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects attacked her under the guise of giving her some pointers.

Needless to say, the Five Great Immortal Sects leaders who received the guidance were utterly defeated by Yun Zhi.

The sect leaders felt embarrassed to be defeated by a junior, and were mostly frustrated.

Seeing their dejected mood, Yun Zhi comforted them, saying, "I am only at a slightly higher level than you. If I were to suppress myself to the same level as you, I wouldn't be able to defeat you in one move."

The sect leaders' expressions were even more unpleasant than before.

Seeing the sect leaders humiliated, the Silent Daoist gloated from the sidelines.

As Yun Zhi's master, he naturally knew his disciple's cultivation level; it was absolutely invincible, and anyone who went up against her would lose.

The sect leaders glared at the silent Daoist. If he couldn't beat his disciple, could he at least beat his master?

They swarmed forward and beat the Silent Daoist.

In a one-on-one fight, the Silent Daoist fears no one, but in a group fight, who would dare challenge him to a duel?

The Immortal Sect Grand Competition ended with the Silent Daoist suffering numerous injuries.

"Your understanding of the Cultivation Method is not yet thorough, so you inevitably imitate other people's Cultivation Method. But other people's understanding of the Cultivation Method is also not thorough enough. They think they understand everything, but in reality, they are still in a state of partial understanding."

"I said at the beginning of my cultivation that the theme of the <The Secret of Enlightenment> was your idea, and it was a very good choice."

"Cultivators must not only focus on their cultivation level, but also on their State of Mind. Upon reaching the Golden Core stage, they may encounter the tribulation of inner demons, which is a major hurdle for cultivators."

"Demons arise from the heart; attacking the mind is the best strategy. It's impossible to defend against, and countless cultivators are stuck at this hurdle, their cultivation stagnating."

"Why do we have inner demons? It's because we lack a clear standard of measurement in our hearts. When faced with choices, we are torn between two options. If we choose the left, we start thinking about what the right option would be like."

"The difficulty in choosing between saving your girlfriend and mother if they both fall into the river at the same time stems from the lack of a clear standard of judgment. If you save your mother and then your girlfriend drowns, you will regret it, and this becomes the material for your inner demons."

"Practicing the <The Mantra of Enlightenment> will allow you to clearly understand your true nature and be free from the torment of inner demons."

Previously, Yun Zhi only said that Lu Yang's choice of Cultivation Method was good, without explaining why. Now that Lu Yang has achieved the Golden Core, making him an extraordinary figure in the outside world, she revealed her thoughts to him.

Upon hearing this topic, the Immortal Fairy also explained it to Lu Yang, saying succinctly, "Simply put, you need to have a healthy, positive, and optimistic mindset."

"If you were heartless, where would your inner demons come from?"

Lu Yang silently looked at the Immortal Fairy, thinking to himself, "You don't seem to have any inner demons."

"I'll revise your Cultivation Method, and I'll let you know when it's finished." The senior sister left these words and turned to walk into the cave abode.

After the senior sister left, the puppet poked its head out, looked Lu Yang up and down, and shook its head, seemingly not satisfied with Lu Yang's cultivation progress.

Hey, it's you again!

The puppet was an indispensable presence on Lu Yang's cultivation path. From the very beginning of his cultivation, the puppet received orders from his senior sister to spur Lu Yang's progress. During that time, Lu Yang suffered from the puppet's torment during the day and had nightmares about the Tofu Celestial Venerable at night, leading a very miserable life.

Previously, Lu Yang was at the Foundation Establishment Realm and was helpless against puppets. Now, he is a Golden Core stage expert, capable of fighting against the Nascent Soul Realm. In the outside world, he can be regarded as the patriarch of the Aristocratic Clan and be worshipped by people.

Lu Yang knew that the puppet could speak, but it didn't speak because it disdained to speak to him.

"I am no longer the same as before, watch me defeat you today!"

Lu Yang was filled with fighting spirit, feeling invincible and that he could easily defeat a mere puppet!

The puppet beckoned provocatively, gesturing for Lu Yang to come over.

Just as Lu Yang was about to make his move, the Invincible Pill issued a warning.

"This is an opponent you cannot defeat. To maintain your chances of winning, you can choose to run away or commit suicide."

Lu Yang: "..."

"Fairy, what kind of invincible pill is this? I haven't used it to defeat a single opponent since I formed my core!"

Lu Yang's only victory since forming his core was in the battle against Tao Yaoye. During that battle, the Invincible Pill advised him to use the Lu Family Arhat Fist.

The Immortal Fairy shrugged. "This isn't my fault. Back then, with the help of the Invincible Pill, I could easily defeat Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, including Ying Tianxian. No one could beat me."

"Unlike you, you always run into cultivators at the Body Integration Realm or your senior brothers and sisters."

Lu Yang felt that being in a super sect wasn't all good things.

In an ordinary sect, if the senior brothers and sisters bullied him and mocked Lu Yang for having no background or good origins, Lu Yang would be able to defeat the senior brothers and sisters who were in the late stage of Golden Core realm in front of everyone, with his early Golden Core cultivation. This would cause a sensation among the sect elders and Sect Master, who would then step forward to make Lu Yang a core disciple.

But this is something that could never happen at the Ask Dao Sect.

The Immortal Fairy didn't tell Lu Yang something: the Invincible Pill had given Lu Yang, making him believe he could defeat the puppet, but it also warned him that he couldn't.

The positive and negative effects cancel each other out.

"It's not a big deal," the Immortal Fairy murmured to herself.

Seeing that Lu Yang did not accept the provocation, the puppet took the initiative to attack, and Lu Yang turned and ran.

Only a fool would fight you if they knew they couldn't win.

It was unclear what level the puppet was, but its speed was just slightly faster than Lu Yang's. Even if Lu Yang tried desperately to escape, he couldn't outrun the puppet.

Just as Lu Yang was about to give up, the Invincible Pill spun wildly, mobilizing Lu Yang's spiritual power, and Lu Yang moved with incredible speed, increasing his speed again and again.

"No, your invincible pill doesn't work in battle, but it's so effective when you're escaping."

The second update will be around 11 PM.
