Asura Continent

Lu Yang sprinted for a few dozen miles and arrived at a small town near Longchuan County. The letter he got from Splintersoul Mountain said that the sect was located in a mountain range near Longchuan County, but Lu Yang searched everywhere in the surrounding mountains but still couldn't find the location of the immortal gate.

At this moment, Lu Yang couldn't help but think of Han Ruoxue. If only Ruoxue was here, she would have a better understanding of the situation of the Immortal Sect. She wouldn't be like this, bumping around like headless flies. Lu Yang decided to go to the surrounding towns to ask if they knew the whereabouts of the Demonic Sect.

Judging by the name, the Heavenly Demon Sect should be a demonic sect, but Lu Yang had nowhere else to go. If he didn't join a cultivation sect, what awaited him would be death. Therefore, whether it was demonic or orthodox sects, as long as he could cultivate immortal spells, he had to try. If worst comes to worst, he could just cultivate and not do evil.

The small town in front of him was about the same size as Sky Sun Town. Lu Yang went inside the town and found a random house. He asked, "Old man, do you know how to get to the Heaven Demon Sect?"

This was an old man in his fifties. He frowned and asked, "You're looking for the Heaven Demon Sect?"

"That's right!" "I'm looking for the Demonic Sect." Lu Yang asked hopefully, "Do you know how to get to the Demonic Sect?"

The elder waved his hand and said, "I don't know, I've only heard of the Sky Devil General. As for how to get there, this old one doesn't know either. You can ask the others!"

Lu Yang sighed, bid farewell to the old man, and began to consult the other families in the town.

However, in such a big town, Lu Yang had asked everywhere, but not a single one of them knew where the Heavenly Demon Sect was.

Lu Yang was helpless. Just as he was about to go to another town to try his luck, a youth came out from not too far away. Seeing Lu Yang, he said, "You want to join the Heaven Demon Sect?"

This youth looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old and was also a martial cultivator. However, his cultivation was not high and was only at the early stage of the Yellow Rank.

Lu Yang didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he politely said, "I want to go to the Demonic Sect to try my luck and see if I can be accepted as a disciple."

The youth waved his hand and said, "I suggest that you don't go. With your cultivation, unless you are gifted, you won't be accepted."

If ordinary people went, this would indeed be the result. But since Lu Yang had the Nine Mystical Jade Annulus, he felt that there was still a glimmer of hope. He said, "It's fine, I'll go try my luck. Do you know where the Heavenly Demon Sect is?"

The youth shook his head and bluntly said, "I don't know."

Lu Yang was speechless, he didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the youth said, "Although I don't know how to get to the Heaven Demon Sect, the other sects still know a little."

Hearing this, Lu Yang was overjoyed in his heart and said: "You know of other sects?"

"That's right!" Those are all righteous sects, I wonder if you are willing to go. " The youth glanced at Lu Yang and said indifferently.

Lu Yang only wanted to join a cultivation sect to learn immortal arts, but any sect didn't matter. He quickly said, "Of course I'm willing, but I don't know how to get there."

The youth was silent for a bit, then said: "That sect is also in Long Chuan County, you keep walking forward, there is a mountain range 100 miles away, the sect I was talking about is nearby."

"Is there no specific place?" Lu Yang felt a headache coming on. This clue was no different from nothing. How could it be easy for him to find the Celestial Sect of Wonders in such a huge mountain range?

The young man smiled and gave Lu Yang a gaze that said: "There's an inn nearby. As long as you stay, you can meet people who want to join the sect just like you. "Most of these people are at Heaven Stage, and some of them are like you. If you want to use your talent to test your luck, you just need to find them and join a sect that cultivates immortality."

With that, the youth changed the topic, "Alright, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. I wish you good luck." With that, he turned around and walked out of the town.

Lu Yang was very surprised in his heart. That person was so young, yet he knew so much? Who exactly was he?

Just when Lu Yang was about 50 kilometers away, the youth appeared in a forest. Looking at the direction Lu Yang left in, he muttered to himself, "Brother, good luck. Senior asked me to help, I've already helped. Whether or not you can join a cultivation sect will depend on your luck … " With these words, his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light and pierced through the air.

If a Heaven Stage powerhouse was here, his eyes would definitely be wide open because this youth was actually a cultivator, and his cultivation wasn't low either.

Lu Yang walked forward. Due to being unfamiliar with his surroundings, he had taken the wrong path several times and had no choice but to ask around. However, the surrounding was incomparably desolate. There weren't many families here, and even if they wanted to ask someone, they wouldn't know where he was heading to. However, the strange thing was that later on, as long as Lu Yang could not find the correct path, someone with good intentions would appear and point him in the right direction.

Three days later, Lu Yang arrived at the inn they were heading to. The more he thought about what had happened along the way, the more he felt that something was wrong, as if there was a big hand helping him in the dark. This was a feeling that Lu Yang had experienced more than once. But who was it, why did he help him, and why didn't he come out to meet it?

Thinking up to here, Lu Yang sighed and stopped thinking about it. No matter who the other party was, they were all people who wanted to help him. As for why they didn't meet, perhaps the time was not right. Lu Yang believed that one day the other party would appear in front of him and tell him the reason behind it. Even if he wanted to say more now, it would be useless.

Arriving in front of the inn, Lu Yang realized that they were only a few dozen miles away. The place they were staying at was presumably this inn.

The signboard of the inn was very strange. There were only three messy words written on it — Destined One.

Lu Yang smiled indifferently and arrived at the inn. In the enormous inn, besides the manager, there was no one else.

"Manager, come to the guest room." Lu Yang came to the front of the counter and took out a few silver coins.

The innkeeper was an old man in his early sixties. Lu Yang couldn't tell his cultivation level, but at a glance, he seemed to be an ordinary person. If one looked closely, they would be able to see a glimmer in his eyes. If one thought about it, it made sense. If one did not have the ability to open an inn in this wilderness, how could one open an inn here?

The shopkeeper glanced at Yin Bi and asked indifferently, "You're new here?"

Hearing this, Lu Yang was stunned and thought to himself: "I'm not a newcomer, can I stay here?" However, thinking about it in the blink of an eye, he felt that something was amiss. The other party seemed to be reminding him of something. Thinking of what the youth had said, Lu Yang hurriedly said, "I'm new here. I want to go to the Celestial Sect."

When Lu Yang spoke, he purposely emphasized the words' Immortal Sect Sect 'so as to see the shopkeeper's reaction.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's expression didn't change, as if he didn't take the Immortal Sect to heart. He indifferently said, "Since you're a newcomer, I'll take less money. Take 10 gold coins …"

"Ga!" Lu Yang was stunned and said, "Shopkeeper, I only live here for a few days and it costs 10 gold coins?"

The shopkeeper glared at Lu Yang and reminded him unhappily, "No matter how many days you live here, ten gold coins per day is required. If you don't have any money, then get out of here quickly …"

Ten gold coins was nothing to the current Lu Yang, but he had been poor before. Even if he was rich now, he couldn't afford to waste so much money. Lu Yang couldn't bear to take the 10 gold coins to stay, so after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked out the door. However, just as he took a few steps, he heard the manager say, "If you step out of this door, it would be equivalent to giving up your right to cultivate …"

Lu Yang's footsteps stopped. He turned around and questioned, "You're robbing."

"That's right!" This is robbery. " The shopkeeper wasn't angry this time. Instead, he readily admitted it, "We're robbing. Aren't you guys gambling as well?"

"Gambling?" Lu Yang frowned, not getting the meaning behind his words.

The manager nodded and explained, "Why are you guys here? Isn't it because you want to join a cultivation sect? However, you all know in your hearts that the probability of entering a cultivation sect is less than one in ten thousand. With such a small chance, there are still so many people coming. Isn't this just gambling? "

Saying that, the shopkeeper paused for a moment before continuing, "If you guys get selected, you can become powerful immortals. Don't even mention 10 gold coins, even if you put more in front of you, you wouldn't take it seriously. On the other hand, if you lose the bet, you can rest at ease, because you know that it's not something that can be used for cultivation. "

Lu Yang's face was expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil. He didn't think that an innkeeper would actually say such words. These words seemed ordinary, but they contained a vast amount of truth. Cultivation seemed like something people yearned for, but it was the same as gambling; not even one person out of ten thousand people would be able to choose it.

Lu Yang finally understood why cultivators could be counted on one hand. This gamble was too big, and the chances of winning was too low.

The shopkeeper saw that Lu Yang had understood and said, "Brat, you are new here, so it is reasonable that you don't understand this. If you want to hit your luck, I think you should stay. It costs 10 gold coins a day, but it's worth it. Three days later, some people will come to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect and only need 30 gold coins to get a chance.

With such an opportunity in front of him, Lu Yang felt that it was indeed worth it. Gritting his teeth, he said: "I don't have any gold coins. Is a gold coin okay?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, as long as it's gold."

Lu Yang took out a piece of gold the size of a fist from his chest and handed it to the shopkeeper. "I'll live here for three days."

This time, the shopkeeper was surprised. He looked at Lu Yang in surprise, obviously never expecting him to bring out such a large amount of gold. However, the surprise disappeared in a flash. He quickly put away the gold coins and said to Lu Yang, "I won't be looking for extra money for you right now. If you get selected, it will belong to me." "If you are not selected, you can come back to this old man to retrieve it."

What could Lu Yang say? Other than secretly cursing the black-hearted shopkeeper, there was nothing he could do. He replied, "Ok."

With that, Lu Yang thought of something. He looked around and asked, "Other than sleeping here, can I go out during my free time?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said in an irrefutable tone, "No, leaving this place is equivalent to giving up on cultivating."

"But, what should I eat?" Lu Yang wasn't an immortal, he still wanted to eat. There was clearly no place to cook, nor was there any food provided.

The manager stroked the small beard on his chin and said, "That's easy. Take out the money."

"Money?" Lu Yang was stunned for a moment before he asked in puzzlement, "Do you have food here?"

The shopkeeper took out a palm-sized, square wooden box from the counter and placed it in front of Lu Yang. He said, "Must you eat something to solve your hunger?" As he spoke, he glanced at the box on the counter and said, "This is a Fasting Pill. As long as you have money, this pill belongs to you."

"What?" Lu Yang's eyes widened as he cried out involuntarily, "Bullshit Dan, can this thing be eaten?"
