How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Ignore it, ignore it.

In these three days, Hongbutian has witnessed, or rather, "felt" all sorts of great storms and waves.

For example, it seemed like there were seven or eight burly men dancing around him, or two peerless swordsmen were having a duel at their peak, or there was a sudden loud bang in a quiet environment, and he even heard some sounds that were not suitable for children...

"Very good, it seems you have successfully grasped the spirit that this level is trying to convey to you. Get up, now let's move on to the next level."

The ethereal voice was somewhat excited: "Perhaps, you really can become a disciple of the Sword Sect!"

Listen carefully, the third challenge is... huh? Why aren't you up yet? Can't you hear me?

Hong Butian: "..."

How could they be so insidious? This wasn't a test of focus or perseverance, but they actually dug a pit for him to fall into.

Ha, he wouldn't have gotten up without the words "boundless".

"..."

"..."

Time flies.

"Hi!"

A tap was placed on her shoulder, and Zhao Zhuji's somewhat angry voice came: "Why are you still here? The test is already over, and you failed!"

Get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!

Hong Butian: "..."

"Kid, this is all I can do for you."

The Grand Elder's voice rang out: "From now on, we are even!"

"We can understand if you don't believe us, but the person who gave you the test questions has already fainted, and we don't know what the keywords are!"

Even if you don't believe us, I still have to tell you that those demonic beasts have a backup plan, and they're already approaching Five-Colored City!

Hong Butian: "!!!"

That's unlikely... My younger siblings are at home, nothing will happen to them.

But what if something really happens...

His return would be of no use!

Even so, if it's true, he should go back even if he can't help...

"none……"

Hong Butian: "!!!"

Here come the keywords!

"No lake~~"

Hong Butian: "..."

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you, Wujing!"

The ethereal voice said helplessly, "This is really boring. There's not a single reaction I wanted to see."

"call……"

Hong Butian let out a long sigh, stood up, and opened his eyes. These five days had truly been unbearable.

"Well, the third level is an optional level, and it's also the final level."

This time, the ethereal voice didn't waste any time and went straight to the introduction.

Choose any one of the following three options as your test level.

The first requirement is comprehension. Disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect need exceptional comprehension to stand out among their peers in the cultivation world and bring glory to the sect.

You will have three weeks to complete the incomplete Qi Refining Method provided to you. Afterwards, a specially responsible elder will evaluate your work and decide whether you stay or leave.

If successful, you will become an outer disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Do you choose the first option?

"no."

Hong Butian decisively refused. He was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and even the most basic Qi Refining method was beyond his ability to rewrite.

He still prefers to make up for the gap through hard work rather than through this kind of uncertain test, hoping for a flash of inspiration, which only makes him more frustrated and unable to bear it.

"That was a very decisive refusal!"

The ethereal voice seemed somewhat surprised.

"The second point is combat. The Wuliang Sword Sect needs to fight against alien races frequently in order to resist their invasion, so strength is essential."

"!!!"

Hong Butian's eyes lit up slightly. This seemed like a good idea. So what if they were alien races? As long as they were creatures that bled, he...

"Within three weeks, one person can kill a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast or evil cultivator, and upon victory, directly become an inner disciple of the Boundless Sword Sect."

Hong Butian: "..."

Sorry, just pretend he didn't say anything.

"no!"

Hong Butian shook his head. He had already witnessed the strength of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and that was not someone he could easily mess with.

"Heh, you've rejected two tasks in a row, don't you even think about it?"

The ethereal voice seemed to be mocking: "If you can't accept the third option either, are you going to do nothing and slink back home?"

"Please give me a question."

Hong Butian didn't say much, only urging him on.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

The ethereal voice said slowly, "The third thing is disguise. Sometimes, disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect will infiltrate alien races to gather intelligence, and this is when your ability to adapt to changing circumstances will be tested."

Choosing this option will temporarily make you a disciple, requiring you to disguise yourself within the sect for three weeks, assuming the personality role assigned to you by the sect.

During this period, the sect will assign you various tasks, allowing you to interact with your fellow disciples and show them your disguised personality.

Three weeks later, the sect will randomly select several disciples from among them and ask them to truthfully report their impressions of you.

If their impression of you matches the assigned personality, you can be promoted to the outer sect.

Conversely, if the challenge fails, the participant leaves on their own.

"That's it!"

Hong Butian nodded almost without hesitation. This was the only option that allowed him to stand on the same starting line as his peers in the cultivation world, and it was also the best choice he believed in.

"Very good, please listen to the assigned personality."

The ethereal voice paused for a moment, then continued, "From the previous tests and my prior understanding of you, it's clear that you are a diligent, hardworking, and ambitious person, which are excellent qualities."

However, I want you to pretend to be a lazy, unambitious, complacent, and unspirited person!

Hong Butian: "Ah, this..."

"How's it going? Are you scared?"

The ethereal voice chuckled: "But that's not all. Even if you're lazy, you still have to follow the rules and complete the tasks assigned to you by the sect."

It's important to fully convey that reluctance, yet the feeling of having no choice but to do it.

Hong Butian: "Ah, this..."

"How about it, are you in an even more difficult position now?"

The ethereal voice grew increasingly pleased, as if its wicked scheme had succeeded.

"That's right, I want you to play this kind of personality that only exists in theory and has no reference value. Are you already regretting not choosing the first two options?"

Hong Butian: "Ah, this..."

"Scared now, aren't you? Wanting to back down when things get tough..."

"Um, you don't need to continue..."

Hong Butian's expression was strange: "Shall we begin now?"

"Hmm? Young man, you have courage and boldness!"

"Ah, probably..."

Hong Butian sighed, his spirits gradually waning. At this moment, he wasn't fighting alone; he was fighting alongside three others…

No, right now, none of them are fighting; all three of them are trying to slack off!

Hong Butian remained expressionless. Behind him, the phantom image of a lazy, good-for-nothing Dao seemed to emerge, gleaming brightly...

…………

"Damn it..."

Hongli numbly waved the ladle in her hand, her voice weak: "Heiyang, have we been trapped here for hundreds of years?"

"I do not know……"
