I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Pei Ling felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He stood stiffly by the door and dared not to breathe.

Fairy Li’s expression could not be seen through the veil hat, and the room became silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Fairy Li raised her hand and threw something at him. Pei Ling was startled as he quickly swatted it away.

However, at this moment, a system notification that he had not heard for a long time sounded. “Ding dong! An unknown saber technique is being recorded…”

“…”

He looked at the booklet that he had knocked to the ground, then looked at Fairy Li, who was sitting on the spot. He had the urge to die on the spot.

“Master it in ten days. Otherwise, die!” Fairy Li said coldly. With a flick of her sleeve, her entire body shattered like bubbles and disappeared immediately.

After she left for a while, Pei Ling walked over to pick up the booklet in embarrassment.

The cover was written with the words ‘Blood Malevolence Saber Art’ in cloud seal characters. When he saw these ancient characters, his expression became solemn instantly! The Pei Clan only had more than 100 cloud seal characters in the library. In other words…

Opening the booklet and flipping through it, Pei Ling sighed.

Indeed, he did not know most of the words on this saber technique, let alone understand it…

Fortunately, the system said, “Ding Dong! The unknown saber technique has been recorded. Host, please name it.”

“Blood Malevolence Saber Art.” It was rare for Pei Ling to find the system pleasing to the eye. However, after some thought, he gave up on the idea of letting the system cultivate immediately.

After all, the Dark Bone Phantom Ship was too dangerous. If this retard system caused any more trouble, he did not even dare to imagine his fate.

Thus, Pei Ling closed the booklet and hid it in his bosom. At this time, he felt the entire ship tremble slightly.

Not long later, Pei Hongnian came over and knocked on the door. “We have arrived at the Dust Severing Square. Quickly pack your things and go to the deck. Better not make Fairy Li wait.”

Previously, Pei Ling had prepared his belongings to escape from his home. However, after being controlled by the system to rush to the Green Parasol Compound and end up here, he did not bring anything except the Seven Ultimate Soul Subduing Powder that he already used. Now, other than the clothes on his body, he only had an Essence Augmenting Pill, a Blood Malevolence Saber Art, and a Life-Extinguishing Blade.

The Essence Augmenting Pill and the Blood Malevolence Saber Art were both in his arms. He went in to get the Life-Extinguishing Saber and followed Pei Hongnian to the deck.

There was no Jiao Ni or Wu Liu by his side the entire way, but the doors on both sides of the passageway were exceptionally quiet.

After leaving the cabin, Pei Ling glanced around and could not help but gasp.

It was an unimaginable vast sea of clouds!

The sea of clouds was not calm. Waves roiled angrily, and numerous uneven mountains concealed within the cloud were like reefs scattered all over the sea of clouds.

Apart from the mountains, there were many rare and fascinating beasts that Pei Ling had never heard or seen before soaring freely among the clouds.

There was especially a mountain surrounded by verdant forest, which had a faint glow of flames at the top. The enormous figure appeared through the clouds, and merely its mountain tip was sufficient to stir the sea of clouds in the surroundings of the mountain to the point it seemed to be boiling and surging!

The Dark Bone Phantom Ship was currently flying over this endless sea of clouds. After a while, it drove into a mountain peak that was surrounded faintly by other mountains.

This mountain was shorter than several of the surrounding peaks. The top was flat as if someone had forcefully shaved off a portion of it to form an extremely large square. At this moment, there were many transportations like flying boats rising and falling.

However, when they saw the Dark Bone Phantom Ship, they hurriedly gave way.

“This is the Dust Severing Platform.” Pei Hongnian had entered the sect for years and was already used to the scenery of the Deep Sea Sect. Thus, he was not as shocked as Pei Ling. He casually introduced, “New disciples will enter the sect from here. From here on, there will be differences between immortals and mortals. The sect named it Dust Severing Square because it hoped that we can sever all the thoughts of the mortal world and advance bravely, parting forever with the dust from the mortal world.”

After he said this, he suddenly realized something and frowned. “Oh yes, I wonder what Senior Brother Zheng has arranged for you?”

At the same time, Zheng Jingshan was respectfully asking for instructions from the railings on the third floor of the Dark Bone Phantom Ship. “Senior Sister, we have arrived at the sect, but what should we do with Pei Ling?”

Fairy Li’s black dress fluttered as she stood not far from him with her hands behind her back. She replied briefly in a cold tone, “Let him enter the outer sect.”

“Understood.” Zheng Jingshan nodded and then transmitted his voice to Pei Hongnian. “Bring Pei Ling to the outer sect!”

Shortly after, the Dark Bone Phantom Ship soared into the sky again and shot into the depths of the sea of clouds. Pei Ling, who got left on the square, could not help but look in that direction for a while. He asked, “Is that the location of the inner sect? It seems so far.”

Pei Hongnian was not in a good mood. He ignored him and said, “Follow me.”

He brought Pei Ling to a two-story building by the square without hassle. After they entered, they saw that it was empty. In the middle of the simple furnishings was a wrinkled old lady with white hair. She held a wine pot in her hand and leaned against a reclining chair lethargically while she drank from it.

When she heard that someone had entered, she did not have the intention to move. It was Pei Hongnian who stepped forward and smiled apologetically. “Senior, inner sect Branch Master Zheng Jingshan requested me to enter the outer sect with my junior brother, Pei Ling.”

“These juniors are always finding trouble for me.” The old lady’s voice was hoarse as she sighed. She did not make things difficult for them as she slowly sat up, revealing a wrinkled face. However, her eyes seemed to be enchanted, which was impossible to look away from. The two cousins could not help but become absent-minded as they looked at her in a daze, unable to speak.

The old woman sized them up for a moment and said lightly, “Come with me.”

Pei Ling and Pei Hongnian were jolted awake. When they came to their senses, their expressions were somewhat unnatural.

They followed the old lady out of the building and saw another building in the back. It did not appear large on the outside, but after entering, the interior was surprisingly spacious.

Countless candlesticks were floating in the air. Every candlestick was burning with a blood flame of varying heights and sizes. The size of the blood flame was also different. The smallest was the size of a green bean, and the largest was suspended high in the air like a sun which Pei Ling could not look at directly, much less estimate its size. From the corner of his eye, he could already feel the terrifying power contained in it.

Further away were over a hundred portraits. All of them were vivid and lifelike, including men, women, old, and young. There were even some that did not seem to be normal human bodies.

The old lady waved her hand, and a candlestick flew over from somewhere. It was no different from the other floating candlesticks. She said lightly, “Since you are a member of the Pei family and have Zheng Jingshan’s backing, there’s no need to waste time on those background checks. Go and pay your respects to the Ancestral Master and bring a drop of blood here. After you light this Life Soul Candle, you will be a member of the Deep Sea Sect from here on.”

Pei Ling had zero intentions to enter this sort of demonic sect. However, at this point, he could not escape far away.

He could only bite the bullet and step forward. According to the old lady’s guidance, he separately kowtowed to the founder, the successive founders, the current Grand Elder, and the current sect master. After that, he would slice his fingertip open and force out a drop of blood.

The blood landed on the candlestick and immediately turned into a flame. It was slightly bigger than a green bean and was about the size of a soybean.

The old lady asked for Pei Ling’s name, birth date, and Bazi1. Rows of details appeared under the candlestick. In the end, a line indicating the date Pei Ling entered the Deep Sea Sect surfaced. Immediately, the candlestick broke free from the old lady’s hand and flew into the air like a ray of light, blending into the many candlesticks.

“Since you’ve entered the Holy Sect,” the old woman glanced at him and ignored him. She waved Pei Ling in front of her and said weakly, “You should be careful with your words and actions in the future and abide by the sect rules. Especially with your background, if you break the rules, the consequences will be unimaginable… understand?”

Pei Ling said carefully, “Senior. May I ask what are the sect rules of the Deep Sea Sect… the Holy Sect?”

The old woman said, “That’s too much for me to tell you. Go back and have a look yourself.”

With that, she pulled out a booklet that was three inches thick from her back and stuffed it into his hand. She said earnestly, “You must remember this from the beginning to the end. Remember, the Holy Sect is not like your family. The sect rules are strict and ruthless.”

“Understood!” Pei Ling’s apprehension subsided when he heard this.

As the saying went, one was not afraid of having too many rules, but he would be if there were none.

To a person like him who followed his Gou Mantra, it was alright to have many rules. As long as he had something to rely on, it would give him a greater sense of security. He was only afraid that everyone would do as they pleased and be unrestrained, and the calamities from the heavens would descend at any time.

He thanked the old lady gratefully and held the sect rulebook tightly to his chest.

With such thickness and number of pages, it was obvious how detailed the Deep Sea Sect’s considerations were. He felt at ease almost instantly.
