Chapter 636 - - 512 Meeting me is your lucky fate_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Senior, are you telling the truth?” Laowu asked with a trembling voice.

“Of course it’s true, or how could I have killed my master in self-defense? My master did indeed torment me, but there were true teachings amidst that torment!” Duge laughed, “Certainly, this is the inheritance of our Carefree Sect; generation after generation has come through this way.

“I have become like this, with all my power lost, thanks to my dear disciple. He thought he could kill me once his skills were perfected, but he didn’t expect that I would still escape. After all, he hasn’t mastered the ultimate move of flaying our master and setting up a sky lantern. Hahahaha…”

Witnessing Duge’s manic state, Niu Sanbao’s mouth twitched, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. The man before him had clearly lost his mind—was this what a Demon Head looked like?

Through generations, disciples have deceived and betrayed their masters. It’s a miracle that the Carefree Sect has survived to this day!

Laowu and the others looked at each other, speechless.

“Now that I have reincarnated in a new body and started practicing our Sect’s Cultivation Technique from scratch, encountering you is our shared destiny,” Duge said, restraining his smile, “If you pass my tests, when my powers are restored, I will impart to you our Sect’s supreme Cultivation Technique, helping you to wander the world freely. How about it?”

“Senior, I am willing to be at your beck and call, to serve you,” exclaimed Niu Sanbao, ecstatic beyond belief, and with a thud, he knelt down.

“I am willing, too.”

Laowu and the others, devoid of any integrity, knelt down one after another to kowtow to Duge. Even the young man who had his intestines ripped out by Duge struggled to get up and kowtowed to him.

“My rebellious disciple is looking for me everywhere. If he finds you, given his nature, he will slaughter you as easily as if you were chickens. When that happens, I will evade and wander freely, not caring whether you live or die. Are you still willing to join the Carefree Sect?” Duge asked again.

“Of course, we are,” Niu Sanbao replied without hesitation. Putting aside their fate being in the hands of the ‘demon’ before them, just for the chance of Limb Regeneration, he would have to learn the Divine Skill of the Carefree Sect!

“Senior, if your juniors achieve skillfulness, they will surely seek out your disciple to avenge you,” the young man with his intestines splayed out said fawningly.

“That won’t be necessary,” Duge glanced at him and said, “Carefree Sect’s mental method prioritizes freedom above all. We never do things that go against our will. Only by satisfying our heart’s desires can we achieve the highest Realm of the Cultivation Technique.

You want to deceive me for the Cultivation Technique, I want to use you to cover for me while I restore my powers—that is freedom;

You learn my Cultivation Technique and then, in return, you plan to take your revenge and kill me—that is freedom;

If one day I dislike you and decide to kill you, that too is freedom;

But you disingenuously say you want to avenge me—that is not freedom, but scheming. With such thoughts, even if I impart the Cultivation Technique to you, you would never reach the highest Realm. Remember, never harbor such thoughts again.”

“…” The young man was sweating profusely and awkwardly said, “Yes, Senior.”

Niu Sanbao and the others were dumbstruck.

Since they met Duge, their outlooks on life had been completely overturned. They had thought themselves to be villains, but after meeting Duge, they truly understood the meaning of encountering someone far more formidable.

“Niu Sanbao, tell me, what are your true inner thoughts?” Duge asked.

Niu Sanbao looked at Duge, clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and said, “To deceive you, Senior, and steal the Carefree Sect’s Cultivation Technique from you, then find a way to kill you and avenge the loss of my arm today.”

As he uttered these words, he braced for death, but after speaking, nothing happened. He opened his eyes tentatively and swallowed hard.

Duge looked at him with a sly smile, “Sanbao, after voicing your true thoughts, don’t you feel much more at ease?”

Niu Sanbao was startled but then overjoyed, “Indeed it does.”

“That is the essence of the Carefree Sect,” Duge said, “To understand this is to understand everything. When your heart and spirit are aligned, your meridians flow freely. When your meridians flow freely, your channels of energy open up, and when your energy channels are open, you master all techniques. The Carefree Sect doesn’t focus on natural talent because of this very reason.”

Duge scoffed with a mocking smile, “Other sects need to search for prodigies, but in our Carefree Sect, we can create our own prodigies. The highest Realm is the full circulation of all meridians, which leads to peerless talent. As for being called a Demon Head, that’s simply their jealousy of our Sect’s cultivation speed.”

In a single sentence.

Niu Sanbao and the others felt a surge of excitement, seeing a future filled with hope.

Previously, they had wanted to learn martial arts, but every martial school said they were too old and would only scratch the surface even if they tried to learn.

But with Duge, none of that seemed to matter anymore.

As long as they could become powerful, as long as they could roam the world freely, what did it matter to be labeled a Demon Head? After all, they were never good people to begin with!

“If the heavens oppress me, what do I do?” Duge asked.

“…” Niu Sanbao and the others paused.

“Overturn these heavens,” Duge declared boastfully.

“If the earth restrains me, what then?” Duge asked again.

“Please enlighten me, Senior,” Niu Sanbao said.

“Shatter this earth,” Duge proclaimed arrogantly.

With these words.

Niu Sanbao and the others’ eyes suddenly lit up, their breathing quickened.

Watching Niu Sanbao and the others caught up in frenzy, Duge smiled slightly and opened his flickering personal panel.

A newly awakened skill brazenly emerged:

Tirelessly Ruinous: When you maliciously influence others, you cause malevolent thoughts to arise in their hearts;
