Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 178: This Immortal’s Name Is Huang Doudou
Chapter 178: This Immortal’s Name Is Huang Doudou
“Let’s go to Incarceration Peak and interrogate them to find out where the Everlasting Creed’s headquarters are.” Yun Zhi curled her finger, and those from the Everlasting Creed lost control of their bodies, floating in the air as they trailed behind Yun Zhi.
After some thought, she also called Lu Yang over. “You come along too. You might come in useful.”
In just a few days, Lu Yang found himself at Incarceration Peak once again.
The atmosphere at Incarceration Peak was as heavy and oppressive as usual.
In one of the prison cells, Lu Yang saw the Blood Devil Venerable Lord, the ancient Transcendent Tribulation cultivator from the Three-Tenets Cave Domain. All that remained of him was his soul, completely stripped of the defiance he once had. When he heard Yun Zhi’s footsteps, he cowered in the corner of his cell, trembling non-stop.
On the other hand, Yun Zhi didn’t even spare him a glance when she walked past.
The white-haired child feigned an elderly demeanor as he welcomed Yun Zhi and Lu Yang. “Little Yun, you’re here again. Who did you bring this time?”
By now, Lu Yang knew that the white-haired child was the previous sect leader, Tang Shengyi.
“Two vice creed leaders and five higher-ups from the Everlasting Creed.”
“Dang, those are all big shots. Did you wipe out their lair or something?” Tang Shengyi was stunned. This grand-disciple of mine is truly built different.
“They all walked into the trap themselves.”
Right then, Vice Creed Leaders Liu and Gao woke up and began cursing out when they heard Yun Zhi’s words.
“Despicable Dao-Seeking Sect! It was clearly you who tricked me into coming here.”
“What an elaborate scheme! You sent a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator, Tofu Heavenly Sovereign, to go undercover in the Everlasting Creed and gain our trust!”
Evidently, Vice Creed Leader Liu was still not fully awake.
Vice Creed Leader Gao whispered, “Wake up. What’s this Tofu Heavenly Sovereign?”
Vice Creed Leader Liu was a bit dazed. “Isn’t that Lu Yang?”
Yun Zhi stared at Lu Yang silently. She was now curious about what kind of dream Lu Yang had weaved for the vice creed leader.
Lu Yang cleared his throat, embarrassed to say the contents of the dream out loud. Instead, he changed the subject. “Let’s quickly question them. What tools do you need? Chili water, a tiger bench, or a whip soaked in water?”[1]

The two vice creed leaders had been in the diabolic creed for several centuries, if not millennia, and were all ruthless individuals. Ordinary interrogation and torture methods wouldn’t cause them to bat even an eyelid.
“Heh, young man, did you think that using such methods would make us disclose our creed’s secrets? Impossible!”
“The righteous path are ignorant fools to stop us from reviving the Everlasting Immortal. With the impending return of the Ancient Great Era, who will protect us if we don’t resurrect the Everlasting Immortal?!”
“Exterminating demons and devils, you say? You make it sound so noble! Yet you fail to realize that it is precisely such actions that will doom humanity’s future!”
The vice creed leaders took turns mocking the righteous path.
“No need for all that hassle just yet.” Yun Zhi held Lu Yang back. She asked the white-haired child to leave, then turned to Lu Yang. “Immortal Fairy, come out and meet your followers.”
An ethereal fairy-like maiden appeared from Lu Yang, her bare dainty feet hovering over the ground and the hem of her dress fluttering in the air. Her eyes were bright and her teeth pearly white. Her entire being exuded the graceful demeanor of an otherworldly immortal.
“Are the two of you my followers?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s expression was cold, her gaze as placid as an ancient well. The way she looked at the two vice creed leaders was no different from observing mere insects.
On the Central Continent, Fusion cultivators were considered puissant figures. Within sects, they were revered as ancestors; within the court, they held high offices; and in the jianghu, they were mysterious legends. Yet, before an immortal, none of that mattered.
“Who are you?!” the two vice creed leaders shouted, trying to mask their panic with their volume.
For some reason, the moment they saw this celestial-like maiden, the impulse to prostrate in worship would surge through them.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy chuckled nonchalantly. “This esteemed one is the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.”
“Everlasting Immortal Fairy?” Hearing how she referred to herself, their hearts rattled with unease.
Why does the title sound so similar to the Everlasting Immortal? Is it a coincidence?
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy continued, “You have been deceived. There has never been an Everlasting Immortal. It has always been only this esteemed one, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Someone feared my resurrection and attempted to use this laughable title of “Everlasting Immortal” to bury my existence. ”
“How benighted and risible. The world lacks no fools who believe the rumors spread by the mastermind behind the scenes. Fortunately, the Dao-Seeking Sect bears the will of heaven, and someone with great fortune bore the karma of resurrecting me. They called forth my true name and brought me back to life.”
The two vice creed leaders felt a chill running down their spines. What they had just heard was an alarming amount of information. What did she mean by “there has never been an Everlasting Immortal?” Feared the Everlasting Immortal Fairy? And what does she mean by “the Dao-Seeking Sect bears the will of heaven” and “someone with great fortune?”
The more they ruminated on the details, the more terrifying it became.
“So, are you saying that who we have been worshiping all this time is not the Everlasting Immortal but you?” Vice Creed Leader Liu looked up at the divine-looking Everlasting Immortal Fairy, his heart filled with trepidation and unease.
“That’s right, you have been deceived. I am not a bloodthirsty killer. The rumor about me taking pleasure in slaughter is baseless nonsense.” She tried to guide them, “Correcting one’s mistakes is a great virtue. If you tell this cultivator Yun Zhi the location of the Everlasting Creed’s headquarters now, there is still a chance to redeem yourselves.”
Vice Creed Leader Gao suddenly asked, “Immortal Fairy, can you tell us your real immortal name?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy nodded, stating her name in a measured manner, “This immortal’s name is Huang Doudou.”
The two vice creed leaders immediately grew agitated.
“I knew it! You’re a liar sent by the Dao-Seeking Sect! How could a dignified immortal have a name like that? It’s obvious that you made it up on the spot!”
“We got you, didn’t we?! Huang Doudou? Does your family make tofu[2] or something?”
A spine-tingling aura emanated from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
If a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator were present, they would immediately recognize that the aura was beyond that of a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator, revealing her identity right away.
Unfortunately, the two vice creed leaders were only at the Fusion Stage. Mount Tai was in front of them, but they failed to recognize it; they only knew that the aura surpassed that of a Fusion cultivator, unaware that it was unique to immortals.
Yun Zhi softly conciliated the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. “Senior Immortal Fairy, there’s no need to get angry. Having you appear was just a last-ditch effort. Since they don’t recognize you, I’ll just have to use a few of my own methods to make them reveal the location of their headquarters.”
Only then did the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s expression look better as she returned to Lu Yang’s body.
Yun Zhi then told Lu Yang, “My methods will be a bit harsher this time. You are still young, so it’s better not to watch.”
Heeding Yun Zhi’s advice, Lu Yang shuddered as he obediently left Incarceration Peak.

On the way back, Lu Yang kindly tried to placate the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, complimenting that her name actually sounded very nice and cute.
“Really?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s spirits were lifted. It was rare for someone to compliment her name.
“Yes, really!” Lu Yang nodded repeatedly.
He looked up at the moon in the sky and suddenly remembered something. “By the way, I wonder what time it is now. Is it already the next day?”
Just then, they heard the sound of laughter from nearby.
“Junior Brother Lu, you have asked a good question. What a coincidence! The time of the rat has just passed, and it is already the next day!”
In other words, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was no longer the acting sect leader.
Ma Tianyang grinned sinisterly. “Junior Brother Lu, did you enjoy your three days as acting sect leader? I heard that you possess the aura of a celestial being and have the ability to battle opponents beyond your level. I’d like to consult you and see for myself.”
Ma Tianyang grabbed Lu Yang like he was carrying a little chick and took him to the arena.
Word spread that Lu Yang was here, and more and more senior disciples rushed over. The sight of the crowd made Lu Yang’s knees almost buckle.
He glowered at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy in the mental space. “Immortal Fairy, you have to take responsibility for this!”
To think I was consoling the Everlasting Immortal Fairy just a while ago. What a joke! She should be the one consoling me!
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy turned her head away with a guilty conscience.
“This...this is also a part of the trial.”
1. As you would have deduced, these are all used for torture. ☜
2. The “dou” in doufu uses the same “dou“ in Huang Doudou. ☜
