Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 148: Three-Tenets Cave Domain

“What ancient cave ruin?” Meng Jingzhou wasn’t around during the interrogation and torture segment.

Lu Yang filled him in, “The Three-Tenet True Person who we interrogated left behind a cave domain that contains his lifetime wealth. However, the “Rule” he set only allows those at the Foundation Establishment Stage or below to enter.”

Meng Jingzhou sharply inhaled a breath of cold air. “A Fusion cultivator’s lifetime wealth?” Lu Yang may have no idea, but I know how astonishing a Fusion cultivator’s wealth can be just by looking at my clan elders. They won’t deplete it even if they try to squander it their whole life.

He had been envious of such tremendous wealth since his childhood. If I could obtain even a fraction of it, I’d be set for life. Even a giant organization like the Dao-Seeking Sect can’t ignore the wealth of a Fusion cultivator!

“Since only Foundation Establishment cultivators and below can enter, hehe, isn’t this the perfect chance for us?” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou chuckled. This type of secret domain with a restriction on one’s cultivation realm was ideal for them to showcase their skills. Big Senior Sister must have brought us here to explore the ancient cave ruins because of our talents.

The magical cloud they rode on flew incredibly fast. When people on the ground looked up, they would see a colorful cloud streaking across the sky in the blink of an eye, as if it was a figment of their imagination.

Soon, the three arrived at the location the Three-Tenets True Person had described.

Demarcation of regions during the Great Yu era was different from today. According to the current system, the Three-Tenets True Person’s ancient cave ruin was beneath the sixteenth tree from the peak of Big Wave Mountain in Huayun Commandery, which was located in the eastern part of Ji Province.

Yun Zhi touched the tree trunk. Sensing the fluctuations of space, she confirmed that there was indeed a cave domain here.

The cave domain was hidden and hard to scout out. Even someone as powerful as Yun Zhi needed to be in close proximity to verify if a cave domain existed. It was not surprising that the Three-Tenets True Person’s cave domain remained undiscovered.

Yun Zhi flicked the tree trunk with her index and middle fingers. As the space distorted, a black entrance appeared before the three.

The entrance looked like a black vortex, its center swirling continuously. Talismans flickered within due to the “Rules” established, signifying that the cave domain had a master. The entry rule for this cave domain was that only Foundation Establishment cultivators aged twenty or below could enter.

Just as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou thought that Yun Zhi would ask them to go in, they saw her pinching the edges of the black vortex with her bare hands and ripping an enormous hole in it. At that moment, any rule disintegrated—nothing could restrict Yun Zhi.

Lu Yang, “...”

Meng Jingzhou, “...”

Shouldn’t this be our moment to shine? Why is it nothing like what we’d imagined? Are we just extras here? Why did Big Senior Sister bring us over?

Lu Yang voiced his questions, and Yun Zhi tilted her head as she sought an answer. “Didn’t you both tag along when we left Incarceration Peak? I don’t recall calling you both.”

Fine, we really are extras.

Inside Lu Yang’s mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy guffawed so hard that she almost fell over.

When the three of them entered the ancient cave ruin, a vast prairie stretched before them. Elephants were munching tree leaves slowly, and lions chased antelopes and chomped on their necks, while on the other side of the prairie lay a dense rainforest, where colossal creatures could be seen wandering through the verdure.

Lu Yang could clearly feel that his cultivation was being suppressed; he could only unleash his strength at the Advanced Qi Training Stage.

Right then, words formed by clouds grabbed their attention.

Danger here, leave quickly

Danger here, leave quickly

Danger here, leave quickly

If you insist on entering, please remember the rules of the Three-Tenets Cave Domain; they may save your life.

Rule 1: Everyone’s cultivation will be suppressed to the Level Nine Qi Training Stage.

Rule 2: You are unable to contact the outside world.

Rule 3: The Three-Tenets Cave Domain only has a prairie and no rainforest; if you see a rainforest, please do not enter.

Rule 4: Lions are kind. If a lion chases you, please do not run away; it just wants to play with you.

Rule 5: Antelopes are a type of bipedal demon beast with spiraled horns on their heads. It is normal for antelopes to laugh; please do not be afraid.

Rule 6: There are no elephants on the prairie. If you see an elephant, please make sure to seek a lion for protection; lions will protect you.

Rule 7: If you accidentally enter the rainforest, please do not panic; remaining calm is essential for survival in the rainforest.

Rule 8: The apes in the rainforest are humans in disguise, so it is normal for them to speak. However, the apes will not initiate conversations with you.

Rule 9: The water in the rainforest cannot be drunk.

Rule 10: If you encounter a Foundation Establishment demon beast, please mimic the sound of an ape; the demon beast will automatically leave.

Rule 11: All the rules above are true.

Then, Lu Yang noticed that there were several lines scrawled with blood beneath his feet, as if they were left in a hurry.

*

Quickly run, this place is dangerous!

Something strange has happened here!

*

Note! What I’ve written here are the real rules of the Three-Tenets Cave Domain!

All the rules of the Three-Tenets Cave Domain are fake...

*

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou trembled in fear as they took in the bloody handwriting. The last sentence was incomplete, leaving a long smear of blood, as if someone had desperately tried to crawl out of the cave domain, only to be bitten by some terrifying entity and dragged right back with an appalling trail of blood.

An unsettling chill seized them. What on earth is inside this cave domain?

“There are very glaring problems with these rules; they are filled with contradictions. Is the first or second set of rules correct?”

“Based on our experience in Buyi Town, the first set of rules seem more formal, so perhaps it’s the correct one?”

“Not necessarily. Just because a rule appears more formal doesn’t mean that it’s correct. The second set of rules seems to have been hastily written, but it may also be a form of rules.”

The two found themselves in an impasse. Their strength was reduced to the Level Nine Qi Training Stage, yet the place was swarming with Foundation Establishment and Golden Core demon beasts. Since they couldn’t fight with brute force, they could only rely on their wits. However, there were currently two sets of rules, and they couldn’t discern the correct one. Once they made a wrong decision, it could likely consign them to their demise.

“Don’t panic, there must be a solution. One rule says that the lions are kind, while the other says that lions eat people. One rule says that elephants will kill us, while the other says that elephants will protect us. We can lure both the elephants and lions together in one place and see which would protect us. That way, we’ll be able to determine which set of rules is the real one...”

“Could it be possible that both rules are partially true and false just to sabotage people?”

“That makes it a bit tricky.”

Just as the two were racking their brains over a way out, they saw Yun Zhi raise her hand and gently deliver a strike with her palm. However, it clearly did not belong to the Qi Training Stage.

The palm wind encompassed terrifying power as it howled on a rampage, frightening the lions, antelope, elephants, and apes into fleeing in all directions. Regardless of whether they ate or protected people, they were all equal before this palm strike—they could only run for their lives.

The attack tore through the prairie and rainforest, creating a distinct path to their destination.

How could the rules here possibly restrain Yun Zhi?
