Cultivation Online novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 - Fake It Till You Make It

Elder Cheng’s unconscious body falling from the sky had shocked everybody at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower, immediately causing a scene there.

"E-Elder Cheng! What happened to you?!" Elder Xuan quickly went to check his pulses just to make sure he wasn’t actually dead.

After confirming that Elder Cheng was alive, Elder Xuan released a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Where’s Sect Master Long?" The other Sect Masters there wondered since Elder Cheng was seen following Long Yijun.

And as though their words had summoned the demon, Long Yijun could be seen approaching them from a distance, but there was something different about him compared to when he left.

When the Sect Masters and the other disciples there saw the rage on Long Yijun’s face, they thought his parents had been murdered or something, causing their body to tremble uncontrollably.

"Sect Master! What’s the matter? Why are you so angry?" Elder Xuan quickly approached Long Yijun.

"Hmph! Get this!"

Long Yijun quickly explained the situation to Elder Xuan without letting the others hear it.

"Elder Cheng did what?!"

Elder Xuan shook his head in regret, and all of the pity and worry he had for Elder Cheng disappeared in less than a second after learning what Elder Cheng had done to Yuan.

"Elder Bai!" Long Yijun suddenly called for Bai Ling, Disciplinary Hall’s leader.

"Yes."

Elder Bai appeared beside him immediately.

"Toss Elder Cheng into the Confinement Chamber until we’re done here! I’ll deal with him later!" Long Yijun spoke in a demanding tone.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Elder Bai did not question Long Yijun and immediately went to pick up Elder Cheng before carrying him away, and the people there watched with gawking expressions on their faces.

"I apologize for the slight disturbance, fellow guests and disciples. Please, act as though nothing had happened just now." Long Yijun said to the people there with a smile on his face before walking back to his seat like nothing really happened just now, shocking the people even more.

’What the heck just happened?! Who was that sect elder and what did he do to piss Sect Master Long so much?!’

"Hmph! Act tough all you want now! I can’t wait to see the desperation on your face when you have to hand over the Dragon Slaying Saber!"

Long Yijun smirked at such remarks and said, "Yes, I also cannot wait."

Meanwhile, after defeating Wu Laohu, Yuan returned to his room and laid on his bed, and he proceeded to stare at the empty ceiling with a dazed look on his face.

"It was much harder than I’d expected— acting like I did during the match," Yuan sighed out loud.

"Brother Yuan, what you did today is simply acting like a real ’Cultivator’." Xiao Hua said to him.

"A real Cultivator? What’s the difference?"

"A real Cultivator won’t let anything block their path— they will walk straight no matter what stands in their way. If a mountain blocks your path, you destroy that mountain. If an ocean blocks your path, you split that ocean. If another Cultivator blocks your path, you trample on that Cultivator. That’s how the most successful and powerful Cultivators in this world behave, hence why they’re called ’real Cultivators’." Xiao Hua explained to him.

"That’s... very aggressive and unreasonable... I don’t know if I want to become someone like that." Yuan sighed.

"Don’t worry, Brother Yuan. You can become a true Cultivator even without being like that. As long as you know when and how to act like a true Cultivator, you’ll be fine. If I recall correctly, there’s this saying— fake it till you make it... You simply need to fake that character and hope people believe it."

"Hmmm..." Hearing Xiao Hua’s words, Yuan turned silent to ponder again.
