Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 489: Demonic cultivators don't have this kind of technique

The late Foundation Establishment stage techniques were quite a spectacle. Disciples from various sects participated, facing off against ancient cultivators who seemed to have started over after dispersing their cultivation. Each displayed their divine abilities, especially Wei Nanfei, who was a standout among the sect disciples. No one wanted to face him.

Foundation Establishment stage cultivators only had a few years to live. They might burn through their lifespan after just one match.

"Luckily, the competition has an age limit," Meng Jingzhou remarked from the audience. "The Seek Tao Sect has a promising future."

"What do you mean?"

"If they let a bunch of old Foundation Establishment cultivators on stage, wouldn't they just surrender on the spot?"

Bai Ming nodded. "That's true. The remaining lifespan of those old Foundation Establishment cultivators combined isn't as much as Wei Nanfei's. His technique naturally restrains them."

"There are flaws in his technique. He can't burn the lifespan of cultivators with higher cultivation than his own, but in this competition, it doesn't matter," Meng Jingzhou commented, having some understanding of Wei Nanfei's technique.

The techniques of Seek Tao Sect disciples were all public, allowing for mutual discussion and research to promote improvement. If someone didn't make their technique public, it was probably because it was too embarrassing, like a technique that prevented them from being close to women.

...

Under the arena, a tall cultivator slowly opened his eyes, his gaze cold as ice, a confident smile on his face. To others, Wei Nanfei was a formidable opponent, but to him, he was nothing special.

Wei Nanfei was just lucky to advance to the finals. If he had faced him, he wouldn't have had a chance.

He turned and left.

He was a cultivator in the early Golden Elixir stage group.

...

"Burning others' lifespan, quite an idea. He's a good seedling. If he had met me in my time, I might have taken him as a disciple. What a pity."

Under the arena, a cloaked cultivator muttered to himself, lifting his hood to reveal a scarred face, with knife wounds, burns, frostbite... Each scar was a testament to a battle on the edge of life and death.

These battles had given him an extremely strong combat awareness, making him nearly unbeatable in the same realm.

He turned and left.

He was a cultivator in the mid Golden Elixir stage group.

...

"Wei Nanfei, huh? Interesting. The Seek Tao Sect's prodigy is indeed not to be underestimated. As for burning lifespan, it's not a threat."

Under the arena, a small, monkey-like cultivator squinted, analyzing Wei Nanfei's battles. Scenes flashed through his mind as he thought of countermeasures.

Having experienced so many battles, his combat experience was incredibly rich, and he had already thought of ways to counter it.

He then walked onto the arena.

He was the referee.

...

Fang Sheng stood on the arena, waiting for Wei Nanfei to take the stage.

Soon, Wei Nanfei led a group of chickens, ducks, and pigs onto the stage.

Fang Sheng didn't dare to be careless. These weren't ordinary animals but beasts with cultivation.

It seemed Wei Nanfei was also a beast tamer.

"Seek Tao Sect, Wei Nanfei."

"Yi Sect, Fang Sheng."

The two took their stances, and the battle was about to begin.

Fang Sheng was studying Wei Nanfei's battles, and Wei Nanfei was also studying Fang Sheng's battles. The conclusion was that this was a formidable opponent, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

So he used his full strength from the start.

"Burning Heaven Blood Technique!"

Fang Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile. "You think I didn't prepare? I took a pill that counters your technique before coming on stage. You can't burn my lifespan!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Fang Sheng had a few special pills that could lock his lifespan for a short time, made by a master alchemist to prevent accidents during sleep.

He didn't expect to use them here.

He anticipated that Wei Nanfei would be momentarily stunned by this revelation, and Fang Sheng seized the opportunity for close combat!

"Spear Strike in All Directions!"

Wei Nanfei's axe gleamed brightly, his movements incredibly fast, his eyes sharp, meeting the attack with full force.

Buzz—

The clash of weapons produced a piercing hum.

"How is this possible? How do you have such power?"

Fang Sheng was shocked, forced to retreat, his spear planted in the ground to dissipate the force.

From previous observations, Fang Sheng had seen that Wei Nanfei could burn others' lifespan to elevate his own cultivation. This was the power Wei Nanfei had when using his technique!

But his own lifespan hadn't been burned.

Wei Nanfei sneered. "Who said I had to burn your lifespan? Did you think I bought all those ingredients from Baixiang Building for nothing?"

Fang Sheng seemed to remember something, his peripheral vision catching sight of the dead chickens, ducks, and pigs.

Miscalculation!

Wei Nanfei had anticipated that someone would find a way to counter his technique.

Rather than letting his opponent take the initiative, he chose to change his combat strategy in advance.

"Heaven-Splitting Strike!"

Wei Nanfei swung his twin axes, muscles bulging, exerting all his strength, forcing Fang Sheng to retreat to the edge of the arena.

Not good, if he retreated any further, he would lose!

"Don't think you can win with cheap tricks. Strength is everything!"

Fang Sheng shouted, a surge of spiritual power rising from his dantian, condensing into a Golden Elixir. A full Golden Elixir emerged.

A breakthrough in the heat of battle!

According to his plan, the best time to break through was in half a month. But to avoid losing, he had no choice.

As a peak Body Fusion stage cultivator starting over, losing to a Foundation Establishment stage kid was a blow to his pride!

Moreover, the rewards from the competition would be enough to make up for the early breakthrough's flaws.

Boom—

Fang Sheng counterattacked, the power of the Golden Elixir stage fully unleashed. Even though Wei Nanfei was invincible in the same realm, he was helpless against Fang Sheng, who was a stage higher.

"Fighting a Golden Elixir stage cultivator is tough... Breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage and acting all proud, as if no one else can do it."

Wei Nanfei pouted. If it weren't for the competition, he could have broken through half a month ago.

"Condense."

His dantian heated up, warm currents flowing through his body, a Golden Elixir rising like the sun.

In Fang Sheng's astonished eyes, Wei Nanfei smiled kindly.

"Alright, now we're both in the Golden Elixir stage."

"My Golden Elixir may not be as good as Senior Brother Lu Yang's, but it's more than enough to deal with you!"

He took out various animals from a special storage ring, burning their lifespan.

All bought from Baixiang Building.

Unsurprisingly, Wei Nanfei won.

...

In the judges' seats, Qiu Jin'an rubbed his eyes in frustration.

It seemed these ancient cultivators weren't as strong as imagined. They had combat experience but lacked adaptability.

Burning animals' lifespan to elevate one's cultivation wasn't an obvious strategy? Why couldn't they think of it?

"Burning others' lifespan to enhance one's combat power sounds like a demonic technique," Yang Ding muttered, but Immortal Fairy still heard him.

As the acting sect master, she had to uphold the sect's reputation.

"You can't say that. Our Seek Tao Sect is a renowned and righteous sect certified by the imperial court. How could we have demonic techniques?"

"Besides, even demonic cultivators don't have such techniques."
