I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

This was no longer just a tank; it was an aircraft carrier.

Undying Master exchanged a few perfunctory words with Ma Qianqin. In the distant sky, the silhouette of the Celestial Dao Cauldron finally appeared. The moment the cauldron came into view, the familiar ringing of bells began to echo continuously.

Clearly, the Celestial Dao Cauldron was about to ”crown” Zou Feng.

Just the grand spectacle of bells ringing from such a distance was far more impressive than when Zou Feng had been promoted to a True Disciple. But this was normal. The Immortal Sect only had eighteen Direct Disciples in total, even counting Zou Feng. Given the colossal scale of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, the eighteen individuals who managed to become Direct Disciples couldn’t even be adequately described as geniuses among geniuses.

It must be noted that becoming a Direct Disciple meant these eighteen people still possessed immense potential to cross the threshold of the Nascent Soul and advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm. This was also why Direct Disciples were already considered part of the Immortal Sect’s upper echelons.

After a while, as the Celestial Dao Cauldron drew closer, the rhythm of the bell chimes shifted, becoming highly rhythmic, like a melodious piece of music. Hearing it, Zou Feng couldn’t help but want to dance to the tune.

While he managed to hold back, Zhao Feixiong didn’t care about anything else and started dancing as if no one was watching. In Zhao Feixiong’s view, dancing to the music played by the Celestial Dao Cauldron would likely elevate his Dance Dao to a new height.

Soon, Zou Feng also caught on to the trick. The Celestial Dao Cauldron definitely wouldn’t suddenly get playful. There was absolutely a profound meaning behind its sudden musical accompaniment. This was probably one of the rewards from the cauldron to celebrate him becoming a Direct Disciple.

Thus, Zou Feng immediately turned his head and said to Tian Yun and his other Dao Companions, ”Memorize this tune; it will be of great benefit to you!” After speaking, he looked at Su Qingyu and the several Poisonous Demon Maidens. ”What are you waiting for? Dance!”

Being able to dance to the accompaniment of the Celestial Dao Cauldron could easily be described as a once-in-a-millennium Immortal Fate. Anyone who had set foot on the path of the Dance Dao absolutely shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Otherwise, it would be a reckless waste of heaven’s gifts.

Having given his reminder, Zou Feng quickly began doing the Shaking Flower Hand. He didn’t care if it was awkward to do so in front of so many people; he just wanted to reap the benefits first. Anyway, as long as he wasn’t embarrassed, the embarrassed ones would be everyone else!

Zou Feng suddenly started dancing without warning, and the disciples around him also began to join in various ways. Naturally, the nearby disciples were utterly dumbfounded by the sight. However, they were all discerning Cultivators after all. After getting past the initial awkwardness, many of them started to see the underlying profoundness—they were dancing really well!

Most of the Female Cultivators even began to appreciate Zou Feng’s Shaking Flower Hand without blinking. Girls all loved flowers. Who could reject a handsome male Cultivator doing the Flower Hand?

But Ma Qianqin was clearly not a normal girl. She frowned deeply as she watched. In her heart, she felt increasingly glad that she hadn’t taken a liking to Zou Feng earlier.

This was probably the reason why Zou Feng’s Path of Body Refining was not pure enough. Not only did he cultivate the Poison Dao, but he also allowed himself to be distracted by the Dance Dao. It was truly a total waste of such an excellent physique, which was perfectly suited for Body Refinement.

Ma Qianqin’s judgment was incredibly sharp. She had long since seen through Zou Feng’s physical body completely, so she knew exactly how outstanding his foundation was. Little did she know, ever since Zou Feng started his Cultivation, other people had been bearing the physical toll on his behalf. It was equivalent to Zou Feng engaging in damage-free Cultivation the entire time. It would be a miracle if his physique wasn’t perfect.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into a bizarre silence as everyone admired the dancing of Zou Feng and the others. But soon, a portion of the disciples were drawn in by the marvels of the Dance Dao. Coupled with the incredibly rhythmic music from the Celestial Dao Cauldron, these disciples couldn’t help but start mimicking Zou Feng’s shaking movements.

Then, it was as if a contagious disease had spread. One infected ten, and ten infected a hundred. Many people joined in one after another, joyously imitating the dance. Such a spectacle made Undying Master start to wonder whether a Dance Dao lineage would emerge in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect in the future.

”Qian Qin, what do you think of this dance?” Undying Master suddenly asked Ma Qianqin.

Ma Qianqin curled her lips. ”It’s too effeminate. It completely lacks masculine vigor. He is definitely not a suitable match for a Dao Companion!”

Too effeminate? Undying Master thought to himself that finding someone more masculine than her would probably be a once-in-a-century rarity. After a silent retort in his mind, he abandoned the thought of discussing it further with Ma Qianqin. However, Ma Qianqin coming out of seclusion this time was not to go on a blind date with Zou Feng, but for an even more important mission...

Not long after, the Celestial Dao Cauldron finally moved into position and stopped advancing. The musical piece played by the chiming bells ceased as well.

Without the music, Zou Feng naturally stopped his dance steps. But every single disciple who had just participated in the dance felt that they had benefited greatly, left with an endless aftertaste of the experience. Especially those who had never danced before; they couldn’t help but sigh in realization that dancing was actually such a delightful activity. They even felt their Cultivation increase along with this joyful state of mind.

An auspicious cloud instantly took shape. Emitting a golden glow, it swiftly drifted down toward Zou Feng. This must be another congratulatory gift from the Celestial Dao Cauldron—something like the ”providence” he had seen before. It was just that past providences had always descended in the form of a small halo of light. This time, however, the providence he received had directly condensed into an auspicious cloud.

Before he could think too much about it, Zou Feng was already bathed in the auspicious cloud in an instant. A mysterious power, similar to the blessing of luck, gave him the sensation of being enhanced in every aspect. Even his ego swelled uncontrollably. He felt omnipotent. Even if the Queen Mother of the Western Heaven were to suddenly descend, he would dare to charge over and fight her for three hundred rounds.

Such a mindset was obviously wrong, but he couldn’t control it.

”You have designs on the Queen Mother of the Western Heaven?”

A completely ordinary man’s voice suddenly transmitted from within the auspicious cloud. This voice was so commonplace that it sounded like a random, ordinary person encountered on the side of the road. But a voice heard from within the auspicious cloud could not possibly be ordinary.

”Who might you be?” Zou Feng was someone who had dealt with the Queen Mother before; he had already sensed what level of existence the owner of this voice belonged to.

”Yan Canglan!”

”Disciple Zou Feng pays his respects to Sect Leader!”

Although he had never met the Sect Leader of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, Zou Feng naturally knew the Sect Leader’s name. It was just that even though Sect Leader Yan had technically received him in person, Zou Feng still only heard his voice and didn’t see his face. But despite not showing himself directly, Yan Canglan was actually able to tell that Zou Feng had some connection to the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, the fact that Zou Feng cultivated the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills had already been seen through by Undying Master long ago, so there wasn’t much to hide in the first place.

”No need for formalities. I can only speak with you like this for the time being. You’re quite bold, daring to cultivate the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills and even flirting with the Queen Mother.”

Zou Feng said awkwardly, ”Sect Leader, this disciple... was entangled by the Queen Mother. I truly had no choice but to pretend to go along with it...”

”I do not mean to blame you. If you truly have a chance to find her, it would actually be a great merit!” Yan Canglan paused before continuing. ”Although you possess a great treasure that can suppress the influence of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills, you still cannot be the slightest bit careless. Otherwise, with one wrong step, you will still take your place among the immortal ranks in the Celestial Court.

”If you encounter one of the Nine Great True Immortals, remember not to believe anything they say.

”And definitely do not think you can actually kill them!”

With Yan Canglan saying this, Zou Feng immediately realized that it probably wouldn’t be long before he came face-to-face with one of the Nine Great True Immortals. This wasn’t Yan Canglan preparing for a rainy day; he had most likely deduced something. As for knowing that Zou Feng possessed a great treasure, it wasn’t anything rare for an existence at Yan Canglan’s level.

However, even if Yan Canglan knew he had a secret, he probably couldn’t have calculated that this secret would be something as heaven-defying as the List of Gods. After all, even the Celestial Dao Cauldron had failed to detect it.

”Does the Sect Leader mean... this disciple’s current strength is insufficient, or do the Nine Great True Immortals all have special life-saving methods?”

Yan Canglan replied, ”Both. But since you cultivate the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills, it is in your destiny that you cannot escape this tribulation.

”If you want to advance even further in the future, you will also have to put effort into the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills!”

Zou Feng was stunned upon hearing this. This was equivalent to Yan Canglan telling him that having passed the point of no return with the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills, it was too late to back out. He could only follow the path to its bitter end.
