Chapter 275: The Function of the Invincible Core

Traslator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

(I’m changing Everlasting Celestial’s real name from Shame Less to Don’t Wants Face with his name being Don’t and Want Face his surname meaning he, the person named “Don’t” wants face)

Lu Yang was silent for a long time before asking, “Fairy, why does this function seem different from what you mentioned?”

“This brings us to the second function of the Invincible Core: if you can’t win, it will clearly tell you not to fight.”

“Think about it, why do you sometimes win and sometimes lose in battles? The reason for failure is that you couldn’t beat the opponent!”

“Now the Invincible Core directly tells you that you can’t win, which prevents you from being defeated.” Everlasting Fairy’s reasoning was clear and logical.

This time, Lu Yang was silent for even longer, mainly because he felt the fairy’s argument made a lot of sense.

Lu Yang used the Invincible Core to check each of his senior brothers and sisters, and the answer was the same: he couldn’t win against them.

“Your senior brothers and sisters are at least in the late Golden Core stage and can all fight above their level. You, a Golden Core early stage cultivator who hasn’t even stabilized, want to defeat them? If I controlled your body, maybe it would be possible,” Everlasting Fairy advised Lu Yang not to aim too high and to wait until Meng Jingzhou formed his Golden Core to fight him instead.

“When you fought Ying Tian Immortal and Qilin Immortal, what weaknesses did the Invincible Core tell you they had?”

“Oh, the Invincible Core told me they were just at the Foundation Building Stage and to use my discretion.”

“......”

It wasn’t until Lu Yang reached the commercial street that he regained some confidence.

Not all the shops were run by retired cultivators; there were also some visiting Golden Core Stage cultivators running businesses here.

These Golden Core Stage cultivators were formidable, but they paled in comparison to Lu Yang.

“The meat sandwich vendor is at the early Golden Core stage, with weak divine sense, suitable for mental attacks.”

“The waiter at Hundred Fragrances Pavilion, can’t beat him, choose another.”

“Six-winged duck, ingredient, early Golden Core stage, weak to fire, can use Three Flavours True Fire to fight or order a roast duck for the kitchen to handle.”

“The tea stall owner, can’t beat him, choose another.”

“The tailor shop owner, mid-Golden Core stage, no weaknesses, can forcefully win.”

The essence of the Golden Core was the integration of Lu Yang’s energy, spirit, and mind, meaning that the Invincible Core was essentially a part of Lu Yang’s body. It could formulate effective strategies based on Lu Yang’s understanding, effectively giving him an extra brain.

“Barbecue shop Master Liu, can’t beat him, choose another.”

“Barbecue shop Master Gao, can’t beat him, choose another.”

“Hmm?” It was only then that Lu Yang realized he had unknowingly arrived at the headquarters of the Undying Sect.

“We understand!”

...

Lu Yang returned to Heaven’s Gate Peak, where Eldest Senior Sister was, as usual, meditating.

Sensing Lu Yang’s arrival, she slowly opened her eyes and carefully scrutinized him.

“You’ve formed your Golden Core?”

For once, Eldest Senior Sister showed a rare expression of puzzlement, unable to identify the type of Lu Yang’s Golden Core. “What type of Golden Core did you form?”

Lu Yang honestly replied, “It’s the same type as Everlasting Fairy’s, called the Invincible Core.”

Yun Zhi nodded. “It seems to be a Golden Core that vanished in the long river of history. The name of the Golden Core is quite fitting for the fairy. As for its power, since it’s the same as the fairy’s, it should rank among the top three first-grade Golden Cores.”

“What are its functions?”

“It can see through the opponent’s weaknesses and formulate targeted strategies to achieve victory.”

“Oh?” Eldest Senior Sister became interested, her tone softening, no longer cold as ice. “If I were your opponent, could your Invincible Core see my weaknesses?”

Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

“I-I’ll try.”

Lu Yang activated the Invincible Core to probe Eldest Senior Sister’s weaknesses. Unsurprisingly, the Invincible Core’s response was the same as before: “You can’t win, choose another.”

Lu Yang conveyed the result to Eldest Senior Sister, who then asked, “What if I insist on fighting?”

Since a battle seemed inevitable, the Invincible Core quickly provided a follow-up answer:

“Commit suicide now, and you’ll maintain your record of a hundred victories.”

Lu Yang: “...Is it too late to form a new Golden Core?”

Despite the saying that there’s no regret in forming a Golden Core, Lu Yang wasn’t sure about others, but he was definitely regretting it.

To hell with this “immortal-grade” Golden Core!
