Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 954 - 447: The Terror of the Immortal Destiny, the Lu Siblings’ Cultivation

"Fine, we'll set aside these matters for the moment."

"You're still not regarded as residents of Mixed Yuan Valley."

"To officially become part of Mixed Yuan Valley, come with me to the City Lord’s Mansion."

"There, we'll record your backgrounds, identities, and names."

"Simultaneously, you'll vow never to betray Mixed Yuan Valley or reveal any secrets about it."

"Just then can you truly count as a full-fledged member of Mixed Yuan Valley."

Xiong Qinglin declared with gravity.

"Understood, my Lord."

At these words, Yuan Gang and his companions wore serious expressions, though they couldn't shake the feeling that entering Mixed Yuan Valley was remarkably straightforward.

Next to the massive settlements elsewhere, this process appeared incredibly effortless.

Nevertheless, none of them dared voice any dissatisfaction.

Provoking the man and getting expelled would spell certain doom for them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Before long, led by Xiong Qinglin, they traversed broad avenues, spotting lofty high-rises and locals thriving in profound contentment.

In the end, they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion in Mixed Yuan Valley.

Situated right in Mixed Yuan Valley's core, the City Lord’s Mansion housed the City Lord himself in the ultimate central spot.

It stood as the genuine hub of governance and authority.

Yuan Gang and his group stepped into the City Lord’s Mansion of Mixed Yuan Valley.

Yet, greeting them was a charming little girl around ten, called Lu Duoduo.

"Meet Lord Duoduo."

"You'll pledge your oath to her."

"Never betray Mixed Yuan Valley, never leak any details about Mixed Yuan Valley, or else instant death and soul destruction will claim you."

"With the oath done and your identities logged, you'll qualify as Mixed Yuan Valley residents."

Xiong Qinglin explained.

"Pledge to her? Could it be that straightforward?"

These statements left Yuan Gang and the rest wide-eyed in astonishment.

They hadn't anticipated how effortlessly one could integrate into Mixed Yuan Valley, making it feel almost like a game for kids.

Taking an oath—such things weren't usually treated with gravity, were they?

Besides, vows typically lacked any real enforcement.

"Idiots, Lord Duoduo isn't just anyone."

"She's grasped a Secret Technique."

"Whoever pledges to Lord Duoduo has to honor it without fail."

"Break it, and the oath's force will claim your life for sure."

"In the past, some refugees attempted to violate their pledges."

"Not a single one pulled it off; even the faintest thought of disloyalty brought instant death."

"Ever wonder why Mixed Yuan Valley stays so cohesive? A big reason is Lord Duoduo's influence."

Xiong Qinglin sneered.

At first, he had no clue Lu Duoduo held such talents.

Yet after she took Lord Jiang as her master, she apparently picked up numerous abilities, including this contract-binding might.

Those who pledge to Lu Duoduo and seal the contract can't possibly shatter it.

If they try, the backlash from the broken vow will strike them down.

Regardless of their hiding spots, it's a one-way road to destruction.

Naturally, early on, hardly anyone bought into it, dismissing the idea as ridiculous.

Soon enough, though, the tragic ends of oath-violators became all too clear.

Every one perished quietly, utterly powerless to fight back.

This turn of events struck deep fear into Mixed Yuan Valley's people.

But calm returned swiftly, since following the oath kept everyone safe.

Only the betrayers encountered trouble.

Actually, Mixed Yuan Valley's folk viewed this as a tremendous advantage.

For it provided unbreakable restraint.

After vowing, survival demanded strict adherence to their word.

Such a system forged unbreakable solidarity among Mixed Yuan Valley's dwellers, fully aware of the dire penalties for disloyalty.

Thanks to that, within a single year, Mixed Yuan Valley transformed dramatically. Adding ten thousand fresh faces brought zero chaos or mishaps.

That's the might of Lu Duoduo's oaths.

Or more accurately, the might of the Immortal Destiny’s binding vow.

"Got it."

Yuan Gang and his fellows stared in awe at the young girl of ten, stunned by her existence, and it all made sense why Mixed Yuan Valley thrived so mightily with a powerhouse like her.

Still, with the time come, retreat was impossible.

One by one, they uttered their vows before Lu Duoduo.

Right away, a strange energy linked them to the child.

Resembling an unique thread of karma.

As though violating the vow would unleash catastrophe upon them.

Having cultivated for ages, these experts at once grasped how extraordinary this enigmatic young one was.

Xiong Qinglin's warnings proved no empty threats.

"Alright, time to move."

"We'll head off to log your details next."

"Then, we'll assign you homes."

Observing this, Xiong Qinglin felt pleased and swiftly guided them out.

Staying too long in the City Lord’s Mansion wasn't an option.

In moments, only Lu Duoduo remained there.

"Duoduo, everything okay?"

Just then, Lu Zhicheng came closer from a distance, inquiring about his sibling Lu Duoduo.

"I'm good."

"My Life Chart is the Immortal Destiny’s binding vow."

"Master says it's a karma-based Life Chart, holding a unique Power of Cause and Effect."

"Taking in oaths and karma actually helps unlock more of my Life Chart's hidden strengths."

"This counts as my way of cultivation too."
