Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Time went back a bit.
"So this is the Seek Dao Sect, quite magnificent.
"Mingtai stood at the entrance of the Seek Dao Sect, expressing his admiration.
"Mingtai, let's go.
" Elder Sikong urged him to keep up.
They passed through the bamboo forest, crossed the stream, and entered the core location of the Seek Dao Sect, the main venue for this celebration.
The River Spirit poked out its head to scrutinize every person entering the Seek Dao Sect, determining if they were eligible to enter.
"This year's celebration is more lively than ever.
" The River Spirit murmured as it watched the geniuses and great powers entering in a single-file, a satisfied smile spreading across its face.
It is a spirit of the stream, blessed by nature.
Possessing a hint of spiritual light and enlightened by Daoist Xiantian, it developed true intelligence.
Grateful for Daoist Xiantian's kindness, it voluntarily became the guardian spirit of the sect, witnessing the rise and fall of the Seek Dao Sect.
What the River Spirit didn't notice was, along with Mingtai, a group of uninvited guests also entered the Seek Dao Sect.
They moved through the bamboo forest silently, leaving no trace behind, as if they didn't exist, going unnoticed by everyone.
"I've heard about the formidable protective spirit of the Seek Dao Sect.
Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation.
It's a pity that this time, you met me.
" The Imperial Teacher sneered, bypassing the River Spirit, leading his people into the Seek Dao Sect.
Upon entering the core area of the Seek Dao Sect, the Imperial Teacher dropped his disguise.
With so many cultivators around who, even if they couldn't see them, might bump into them, continuing to hide would rather be disadvantageous.
On the way, the Imperial Teacher spotted several transcendence tribulation stage cultivators and thought to himself that it was a good thing he had brought enough people, or it wouldn't be so easy to destroy the Seek Dao Sect all alone.
"Sir, when should we take action?
" The Black-White Venerable transmitted a message using spiritual sense, asking softly.
"No hurry, the celebration has just begun.
It is when the Seek Dao Sect is most on guard.
First, we need to figure out exactly how many unification stage and transcendence tribulation stage cultivators are participating in this celebration.
Identify the difference in strength between the two parties, then decide when to act and at what time to act.
""By the standards of the immortal sect, every sect should at least have a transcendence tribulation stage cultivator and one method potent as the transcendence tribulation stage.
The Seek Dao Sect couldn't possibly put all its forces into this celebration.
Their sect treasury and other important places must be guarded.
""The River Spirit we just saw should be the method potent as the transcendence tribulation stage.
The real transcendence tribulation stage cultivator of the Seek Dao Sect should be elsewhere.
By the time we act quickly, and the transcendence tribulation stage cultivator of the Seek Dao Sect won't be able to react.
Even if he manages to hurry over, it will be too late.
"Ding—— ding—— ding——The bell echoed through the Seek Dao Sect, twelve reverberations in total, signaling the official start of the celebration.
The group remained silent, watching their target slowly climb the altar to preside over the ritual ceremony.
"Such an ancient ritualistic method, it seems to originate from ancient times.
" The Imperial Teacher expressed his slight surprise.
They were cultivators from the early Great Yu, separated from ancient times by only a Great Qian dynasty.
The Seek Dao Sect, which was established in the late stage of the Great Yu, was in possession of such an ancient ceremony.
"This Seek Dao Sect does have some stuff to offer.
" The Black-White Venerable commented lightly, his status among the group second only to the Imperial Teacher.
The age of the ritualistic method doesn't necessarily prove anything, it could possibly be found in some ancient book.
After all, until now, many ancient ruins have not been fully excavated.
"A common boy, who has repeatedly interfered with the plans of Great Yu, really does not know the word 'death'!
"The celebration came to a close, and the Imperial Teacher's brows relaxed, the corner of his mouth hooking up into a slight smile.
"Sir, you are...
"The Imperial Teacher analyzed to the group, "Haven't any of you noticed that compared to during the celebration's ritual, the number of high-level cultivators here is decreasing?
It seems I overestimated the Seek Dao Sect's position in Great Xia.
""It seems these high-level cultivators had been compelled to participate in the celebration's ritual due to saving face.
After the ritual ended, the various activities the Seek Dao Sect has prepared, including the finals among the young cultivators, are unable to catch their interest hence they left.
"The group showed faces of excitement as the number of high-level cultivators decreased, implying that their actions were unhindered and the pressure significantly reduced.
"Heaven's will truly favors Great Yu," the Imperial Teacher's mouth curled upward, his mood jubilant.
In this case, the downfall of Seek Dao Sect was ensured.
"But we can't let our guards down at the moment.
It's inconvenient to use spiritual sense here.
All of you scatter and gather information about the Seek Dao Sect.
Later, come here to summarize.
"The Imperial Teacher pointed at the ground beneath him, "I'll wait for you here.
""Yes.
"The group dispersed, leaving the Imperial Teacher standing alone.
"They probably won't be returning for a while.
I'll go gather some information about the Seek Dao Sect as well.
"The Imperial Teacher was cautious in his actions, he needed to verify the information collected by his subordinates with his own findings to ensure the reliability of the information.
"The busiest place should be the passing market.
Let's go take a look there.
" The Imperial Teacher strode towards the market.
"Just a small market street and it's hiding so many unification stage cultivators.
" The Imperial Teacher squinted, his profound cultivation level allowed him to instantly notice that the seemingly ordinary restaurant owners and shop assistants were all formidable experts.
They could dominate realms in the outside world.
"Merely unification stage cultivators wouldn't be able to make waves.
"He was capable of killing six transcendence tribulation stage cultivators alone.
Even though all of them were in the early stage of transcendence tribulation, he found himself quite extraordinary.
He didn't pay much heed to unification stage fighters.
"Sir, would you like some barbecue?
" Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi, the three attractive ghouls, were attracting customers at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, attracting everyone's attention.
The barbecue restaurant was bustling with business.
Master Liu and Master Gao were working with six arms between them, significantly increasing the efficiency of grilling.
"Make way, make way, I'm here to deliver meat.
" The boss of the slaughterhouse asked the customers to give way so he could enter.
The business of the barbecue restaurant was so good that despite their preparatory measures, the supplies of meat skewers were not enough.
The Immortal Eternity sat leisurely with his legs crossed, watching all of this with a smile on his face that he couldn't contain.
The sales of that day were as good as ten days combined.
The sign of the barbecue restaurant had been temporarily changed by Lu Yang, otherwise outsiders would remember the name of the barbecue shop and spread it outside.
The Nine Nether Sect would find out that the Seek Dao Sect also had a "Come Again Barbecue Shop", making it difficult to fool the Nine Nether Sect then.
The Imperial Teacher heard Xiao Wu's call and looked up, and immediately saw the two barbecue chefs and the boss of the slaughterhouse, his heart jolted.
"Three unification-stage ghouls?
Is the transcendence stage of the Seek Dao Sect here?
"Only a transcendence tribulation stage cultivator could refine unification-stage ghouls.
Typically, ghouls and those who refine them are not far apart.
Could the transcendence tribulation stage cultivator of Seek Dao Sect be hiding in this barbecue restaurant?
"What good luck.
" The Imperial Teacher smiled, brimming with confidence.
He had planned to investigate first, but didn't expect to be able to deal with a transcendence tribulation stage cultivator in advance.
Hiding and disguising were attributes of his Dao fruit; that's how he managed to evade the scrutinizing gaze of the River Spirit, a match for the transcendence tribulation stage, and lead his group into the Seek Dao Sect.
His Dao Fruit could ensure that he silently eliminated the transcendence tribulation stage cultivators in the Seek Dao Sect.
He walked into the barbecue restaurant and saw the laid-back Immortal Eternity.
The Immortal Eternity saw him too.
"Semi-Immortal?
"Both said at the same time.
