Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 205: Three Great Diabolic Creeds

The instant the Everlasting Immortal appeared, he drew everyone’s attention.

“Little Face?”[1]

Although the Everlasting Immortal was only five days old, his decrepit face looked as if he had only five days left to live. It was hard for anyone to associate the name “Little Face” with his appearance.

“Are all immortals this humble?” Qiu Jin’an found the Everlasting Immortal’s reserved and flattering behavior odd. Casting a glance in Yun Zhi’s direction, he could only attribute it to Yun Zhi having frightened the Everlasting Immortal into obedience.

“Looking at his cultivation stage, he doesn’t seem to be an immortal?” Apart from Yun Zhi, the abbot of the Hanging Monastery possessed the highest cultivation among those present.

He had unleashed his heavenly eye to size up the Everlasting Immortal from head to toe and realized that his cultivation stage hadn’t reached that of an immortal. At most, he is on par with myself or perhaps even weaker.

The Xia Emperor looked at the Everlasting Immortal hesitatingly. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something about the Everlasting Immortal seemed familiar. “This is...the power of incense offerings and faith?”

The foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty was similar to incense and faith, but it was a concept above that. In the Xia Emperor’s words, it was the “heart of people.” Hence, the Xia Emperor understood the origin of the Everlasting Immortal the most clearly. Other sect leaders might have discerned some clues, but they wouldn’t be as incisive as he was. “Could it be that he is a soul born from the consciousness of the Everlasting Creed’s followers?”

Yun Zhi nodded. “That’s right, and not only was he born this way, but his Incipient Dao Fruit was also born in the same manner.”

“He has an Incipient Dao Fruit?!” Everyone present was floored.

To the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the Incipient Dao Fruit was half-baked and unpresentable trash. This was because she herself was an immortal and also the wielder of the Everlasting Dao Fruit, which was almost synonymous with immortals and a supreme treasure.

On the other hand, the Incipient Dao Fruit was an incomplete version of the Dao Fruit, ranked just a tier below. In ancient times, it would have been sufficient to start a war that could destroy the stars.

As the golden Incipient Dao Fruit was displayed before everyone, the supreme rules of “Everlasting” within it flickered nonstop. Since the Everlasting rules were too profound, if one’s will was not firm or their cultivation stage inadequate, just a glimpse could affect their mind and future path. This was also why the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had forbidden Lu Yang from laying his eyes on the Incipient Dao Fruit. All the people present were formidable experts, with the minimum cultivation at the Fusion Stage, and each had already grasped their own path, so they wouldn’t lose their minds to the supreme rules of “Everlasting.”

“This is the Incipient Everlasting Dao Fruit.”

“Everlasting Dao Fruit?” Everyone else was not aware of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence.

From a bystander’s perspective, the Everlasting Immortal’s existence was an ultimate ancient mystery and a taboo hidden in the dust of history, unknowable and untraceable. If the existence of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy were to be exposed, it would spark an inconceivable event that reverberated through the ages. However, this was not something Lu Yang and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had any concept of.

Yun Zhi had no intention of revealing the matters of the Everlasting Immortal. The people present were trustworthy, and there was no fear of eavesdropping, but if the four ancient immortals decided to investigate with extreme methods like soul-searching, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s secret would no longer be safe. She had no idea what the four ancient immortals might do upon learning of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s resurrection.

She explained calmly, “According to my deduction, the Everlasting Dao Fruit is just as its name implies—it can let someone become everlasting.”

The Xia Emperor asked, “What’s the difference between ‘everlasting’ and an immortal’s long lifespan?” From what he knew, after one ascended to an immortal, one would transcend the limits of their lifespan, never aging or dying, achieving true eternal life.

During the previous meeting of the Five Great Immortal Sects, Yun Zhi had introduced the method of reviving the Everlasting Immortal, so the other sects had learned the meaning of ‘everlasting.’ However, the Xia Emperor wasn’t present at that meeting.

Yun Zhi explained, “Immortals have a long lifespan, but they can still die from battle or be killed at someone else’s hands, and they won’t be able to revive. However, it’s different for an immortal who possesses the Everlasting Dao Fruit. As long as someone calls out their title and real name, they’ll be able to resurrect the immortal on the spot, achieving the true meaning of imperishable and everlasting.

“In other words, as long as someone knows of this immortal’s existence, the immortal will never die. Even if someone accidentally calls their title and real name, the immortal can also be revived.”

The Xia Emperor’s pupils constricted. As expected of a Dao Fruit that is said to be capable of changing the rules of the world. This ability is really tyrannical and unreasonable.

“Since this Incipient Everlasting Dao Fruit was created through the faith of the creed’s followers, even though it’s not as potent as a mature Dao Fruit, given enough time, it also has the potential to mature.”

The sect leader of the Prison Suppression Sect knitted his brow. “That is to say that the Radiant Sun Creed, Nine-Netherworlds Creed, and the Heartless Creed could also have similar Incipient Dao Fruits?”

The Radiant Sun Creed, Nine-Netherworlds Creed, and Heartless Creed were three of the other Great Diabolic Creeds.

The Radiant Sun Creed believed that the sun was a supreme entity, the origin and terminus of all beings. It encompassed the power to birth and end all lives. Even the pervasive spirit qi had seeped out from the sun.

The Nine-Netherworlds Creed believed that souls traveled to a place called the “Nine Netherworlds” after death, washing away their sins before they were reincarnated and returned to the mortal world.

The Heartless Creed was the most unique. Although all its members were humans, the cultivation world mainly referred to them as “perverse devils,” not acknowledging them as humans. The creed believed that emotions were shackles imposed by the heavens upon living beings, limiting their potential. They advocated for breaking these chains and pursuing freedom to unlock their maximum potential.

The members of the Heartless Creed were those who had freed themselves from the fetters, heartless people who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. According to a captured follower of the Heartless Creed, when he was unbound from his manacles, he felt light, as if the world had opened up before him. Family, friends, lovers...these were no longer obstacles to one’s cultivation but rather materials for it.

“The remaining three diabolic creeds may also have Incipient Dao Fruits, but this is just my conjecture. It may not be true.” Yun Zhi couldn’t guarantee that her speculation was correct. For instance, when she previously discussed the purpose of the Everlasting Creed’s existence with the Dao Amplification Savant of the Heaven Strategy Sect, the latter’s theory was closer to the truth, while Yun Zhi found hers somewhat lacking.

“In any case, the Everlasting Creed has been eradicated. Fortunately, the problem was exposed in time, which allowed us to gain new insights into the other three diabolic creeds,” the Xia Emperor wrapped up the discussion. Following that, he proposed a series of stratagems to strengthen measures against the diabolic creeds, eliciting repeated nods from the other sect leaders. This was his area of expertise.

Before the meeting adjourned, Yun Zhi brought up another matter. “Your Majesty, after the interrogation of the Everlasting Creed’s creed leader and vice creed leaders are complete and all intelligence has been collected, could you hand these two people over to the Dao-Seeking Sect?”

The Xia Emperor was stunned momentarily but then nodded. Strictly speaking, the whole Everlasting Creed is Yun Zhi’s spoils of war. She simply didn’t claim them and gifted them to the Great Xia Dynasty, so she can certainly take them back if she wants to.

“May I ask one more question, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi? What do you plan to do with these two people?”

“Our sect lacks a slaughterhouse.”

“Hmm?”

1. ”Little face” can also be a way to indirectly compliment someone for their looks. Saying that someone’s face is small can also mean that they’re shy and bashful. ☜
