Chapter 5

Three True Methods

"Of course there's a way to solve your problem."

Jiang Mingzi offered a lifeline at just the right moment.

"To control this overflowing lightning, you must master the 'Law' and become a seeker of the Law. And those who seek the Law need someone to guide them. This means..."

Jiang Mingzi had already said so much that even if Lu Mingfei was slow on the uptake, he would understand the unspoken meaning behind her words.

"You want me to join your so-called Three Truths Sect?" Lu Mingfei pointed to himself. "Cultivate immortality? Me?"

What makes him think he has any hope of cultivating immortality? Doesn't this kind of thing consider the person involved? Lu Mingfei couldn't believe that the other party would give him such a choice.

Cultivating immortality—something so many people dream of!

No matter how many novels are serialized for a long time, they will all end up in this direction. Whether it's fantasy or urban, as long as it touches on this, it can continue to be serialized for who knows how many more chapters. This is the choice that is placed in front of him.

Is the immortal lord before him so certain that he has the aptitude? Does he trust him that much?

Lu Mingfei was at a loss for how to face this trust... He probably never dreamed of such material.

"I didn't force you; this was your own choice," Jiang Mingzi added. "Of course, as a successor of our sect, you will naturally accept the responsibilities of our sect."

"I knew it." Lu Mingfei scratched his head. He knew there wouldn't be such a windfall. "What do you want me to do? Does the sect still have enemies?"

"Yes, but not a person." Jiang Mingzi's expression turned serious as he looked up at the sky. "That is the goal of my Three Truths Sect since its inception: the King of the Undying."

"The Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries!"

Wait a minute, as he listened, he suddenly felt something was off. Should this kind of title appear in the initiation ceremony for newcomers?

He's just an ordinary person now. Why would you ask an ordinary person to prepare for battle, especially someone who sounds like the mastermind behind it all?

This Three Truths Method feels a bit sinister.

Lu Mingfei was speechless; there were so many things to complain about that he almost couldn't find a way to start.

"That Corpse Immortal... no, how long has your sect been established? A thousand years? Didn't you say you were the strongest? Why didn't you take him down?"

"I am indeed the strongest." Jiang Mingzi nodded, "But the Corpse Immortal of Myriad Industries is not a specific person. He is the source of the undead in this world, a monster that transcends cause and effect. That is why I was unable to kill him."

Nirvana Corpse, Myriad Corpse Immortals... Lu Mingfei could only see this kind of setting in novels. What does it mean that one can only die if killed simultaneously in three timelines?

Isn't this blatant cheating?

Calling him a scoundrel is an understatement.

"I'm just an ordinary person now, isn't it too hasty to put this kind of responsibility on me?"

Lu Mingfei stood there trembling. He was unworthy of such lofty ideals. "I just want a peaceful and stable life..."

"Stable?"

Jiang Mingzi rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei, her face showing surprise, as if Lu Mingfei had told a joke... she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

Well, Lu Mingfei knew it was a joke. The other party had asked him if he wanted to cultivate immortality, and he still said things like "staying at ease." What's the difference between this and someone who was about to become a world champion suddenly losing because he casually put down the water in his hand?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei wanted to hunch over, instinctively trying to avoid the mocking gaze of the person opposite him.

After all, this way is sure to work, and maybe the other party will see that his skill level is limited?

It's better to be exposed sooner rather than later, than to be disappointed after putting your hopes up, right?

Anyway, he's always been a disappointment...

"Are you willing?" Jiang Mingzi asked again.

"What?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked up.

"Would you be willing to join my Three Truths Dharma Gate?"

As Jiang Mingzi spoke, there was no mockery in his eyes as Lu Mingfei had imagined; instead, there was seriousness... a seriousness that showed he couldn't live without him. Lu Mingfei had never seen anything like that in the way others looked at him.

He had never seen such a look before, even more so than Chen Wenwen's...

Lu Mingfei couldn't quite explain the feeling, but under those eyes, he couldn't even think of a solution, and his voice trembled slightly.

"I...will?"

The three words that came out of his mouth even stunned Lu Mingfei himself.

He never imagined those three words would come out of his mouth; it was like a dream, no, he was dreaming!

He then realized: he wasn't from this world!

"I... but I'm not from your world, so I probably... can't help, right?" Lu Mingfei blinked, looking at Jiang Mingzi in front of him. "Maybe I'll just stay here for a while and then go back. Would that be enough to kill that Corpse Immortal?"

It wasn't that he wanted to shirk responsibility, but the situation didn't seem to allow him to fulfill this seemingly lofty sect ambition.

This is due to force majeure!

"Hmph, this immortal lord does not expect you to finish off the Myriad Corpse Immortal. In this era, the Myriad Corpse Immortal will only have one opponent, and that is this immortal lord!"

This immortal lord will personally deal with that King of the Undead, erasing him from the past, present, and future.

Lu Mingfei felt as if he had become a witness to some kind of vow... What had he done to deserve this...?

But he quickly stopped thinking about what he had done to deserve this. Jiang Mingzi stepped forward and grabbed his collar, saying, "Now that you have joined the Three Truths Sect, you must begin your cultivation now."

"Then why are you grabbing my clothes... Waaah!!"

Before Lu Mingfei could react, he felt his feet leave the ground, his perspective suddenly rise, and he was lifted into the air.

Jiang Mingzi actually grabbed his body, which weighed over 100 pounds, and lifted it up in one go!

"Hey! Hey! Immortal Lord! Master! Quick... please don't let go!" Lu Mingfei swallowed the words he wanted the other to say. In just a few moments, Jiang Mingzi had already dragged him dozens of meters into the air. The ground began to blur, and the biting wind lashed against his face.

At such a height, if the other person lets go... he could almost hear the sound of bones shattering and flesh turning into mincemeat upon landing.

Although Lu Mingfei could go back after dying, it doesn't mean he wanted to die and go back like that.

This isn't like being struck by lightning and instantly reduced to ashes, where you don't even feel the pain. The feeling of falling like this... he didn't even want to think about it.

"You scared already, kid?" Jiang Mingzi's teasing voice mingled with the sound of the wind and entered your ears.

"Who wouldn't be afraid of this?" Lu Mingfei almost shouted until his voice cracked, his limbs flailing in the air like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of its neck.

He screamed inwardly: Not everyone can fly and disappear like you, he's just a mortal!

The wind is blowing, my heart is pounding, and Mingfei is crying.

Isn't anyone going to save him?

"This is nothing." Jiang Mingzi laughed, and with Lu Mingfei by his side, their figures grew even taller. "Since you have already joined my Three Truths Sect, you no longer have the right to choose."

This immortal lord will take good care of you!

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei felt a chill run down his spine.

...................

"Damn it, that bastard immortal lord!"

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Mingfei jumped out of bed with a scream, but he froze as soon as he got up.

The world, in his eyes, was brutally veiled.

The world he knew before became crystal clear. Lu Mingfei had never felt the light so sharp. He could even see a fading ink stain on the old ceiling.

To be precise, it had faded; it was something Lu Mingfei had splashed there five years ago. Time should have completely erased its last traces, but now it had intruded into Lu Mingfei's vision like a brand.

It's also telling the same truth as Lu Mingfei.

He really... became a seeker of the Dharma.

During those three nightmarish months in the dream, Lu Mingfei underwent the trials of the immortal lord and successfully became a seeker of the law, gaining control of the [Three Truths and Myriad Manifestations Borrowing Law Talisman] that had merged with him within his body.

But he never imagined...

Can the things cultivated in this other world be brought back?

So his physical condition is synchronized?!
