Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 533: A Single’s Spirit Root Cultivator Dares to Learn the Nirvana True Fire?

Chapter 533: A Single’s Spirit Root Cultivator Dares to Learn the Nirvana True Fire?

“Golden Bird True Flame?”

Lu Yang was perplexed. I feel like I cultivated correctly though.

He observed the “Jinwu Golden Crow True Flame.” After listening to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy recount the history of the Jinwu Golden Crows, he visualized himself transforming into a sun, within which a bird’s cry echoed.

The true fire is right before me, an immortal guided me, and my visualization has reached sublimity. This entire process should have been perfect.

So why did a two-legged golden bird emerge?

“There are three possibilities,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy analyzed seriously.

Lu Yang was overjoyed, not expecting the Everlasting Immortal Fairy to be so reliable as to propose three theories. Cupping his fists respectfully, he urged, “Please enlighten me, Immortal Fairy.”

“First possibility: When you cultivated the Three Esse True Fire into Three Flavor True Fire, this bit of difference[1] got transferred to the Jinwu Golden Crow True Flame.

“Second possibility: Although the Nine-Layers Immortal didn’t shoot the tenth Jinwu Golden Crow back then, as I was lamenting how he and the others could only watch the Jinwu Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits mate without getting to eat a single crow, one crow voluntarily tore off a leg for me. Just as it was about to regenerate the limb, it got pounced on by a Jade Rabbit.

“The one you’ve refined might be that Jinwu Golden Crow that didn’t have time to regenerate its leg.

“Third possibility: According to clues provided by the Qilin Immortal and research by the Nine-Layers Immortal, the Jinwu Golden Crow race originally only had two legs. To adapt to the harsh environment in ancient times, they gradually evolved a third leg. Both the Qilin Immortal’s Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit and the Phoenix prodigy’s Natural Selection Incipient Dao Fruit drew inspiration from the Jinwu golden crow’s history.”

Lu Yang found none of these explanations credible.

“Whatever. As long as it’s a true flame, it’s fine.”

Wielding the Jinwu Golden Crow True Flame in his palm, Lu Yang could sense its terrifying power. It was a destructive force that outmatched even the Three Flavor True Fire. Once unleashed, few Golden Core cultivators could withstand it.

The second to succeed was Li Haoran. Having inherited half of Qin Haoran’s memories, his life experience far surpassed his peers.

With a snap of his fingers, a wisp of Six Ding Divine Fire ignited at his fingertip. After studying it for a while, he removed his wig, revealing his bald head. He used the heavenly fire to temper the wig, elevating its internal inscriptions to a higher level.

As Yuan Gang witnessed this scene, he was filled with deep respect. Truly a ruthless individual. He even refined his own hair into a magical treasure for the sake of becoming stronger.

Man Gu was the third to comprehend a true fire—the Three Esse True Fire.

He noticed the commotion at Lu Yang’s side, particularly the golden bird cradled in his palm. Shuddering, he murmured, “The first true fire Senior Brother Lu comprehended was the Three Flavor True Fire, and it could enhance barbeque to another tier. And now with his second, he has gone straight to turning the true fire into barbeque ingredients?”

The gap between me and Senior Brother Lu is indeed vast. I have much room for improvement.

Half a day passed again, and it was now late at night.

Meng Jingzhou and Tao Yaoye comprehended their true flames almost at the same time, successfully attaining the Nirvana True Fire and Nanming Li Fire. As these were true flames of demon races, it was understandable that their progress was slower.

The Five Branches’ elders were astonished to see Meng Jingzhou master the Nirvana True Fire.

“This Meng boy isn’t simple. He’s even grasped the Nirvana True Fire.”

“I thought he’d give up.”

“This is the perseverance of those destined for greatness! Due to his Single’s Spirit Root, his Pure Yang Body must remain intact. Yet the Nirvana True Fire belongs to the phoenix race and has yang-boosting and blood-nourishing properties. For someone with a Single’s Spirit Root to master this true fire, the yang-boosting effects will likely become unparalleled among all Single’s Spirit Root cultivators in history!”

“To resist temptation and preserve his chastity under such circumstances, such willpower is admirable!”

“Combining the Single’s Spirit Root with the Nirvana True Fire will raise the strength of his Single’s Spirit Root to another tier, and his cultivation speed will become faster!”

Despite having lived all these years, this was the first time they had heard of a Single’s Spirit Root cultivator being so merciless to themselves, driving themselves to such extremes with a do-or-die approach.

Meng Jingzhou turned to glare resentfully at the whispering Five Branches elders.

You should’ve said it earlier! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have chosen the Nirvana True Fire.

My body is already reacting, and I’m afraid even pouring water might not calm it down.

Although Song Duantian was displeased that all five had comprehended true fires, he made no comments. After all, he had resolved to let go of his grudge against the Taciturn Daoist Priest.

After the Five Branch elders and Qiu Jin’an departed, the fissured earth sealed shut as the true fire seeds returned to dormancy beneath the Fire Branch.

Bai Ming cleared his throat. “Shall we continue the tour?”

“Tour at this hour?” Lu Yang was surprised. At this time in the Dao-Seeking Sect, our senior brothers and sisters would already be partying and having a whale of a time.

Bai Ming was equally bewildered by Lu Yang’s reaction. “As cultivators who don’t sleep, what difference does day or night make?”

Lu Yang looked around. That’s true. The Fire Branch senior brothers are still sitting in meditation, though the near-naked sunbathing senior brothers from daytime are gone.

Without sunlight at night, sunbathing isn’t an option.

Meng Jingzhou recalled, “They say the Dao-Seeking Sect also used to cultivate day and night without rest. But ever since Grand-Shifu retired and our shifus and elders took over, they changed their approach. The sect promoted work-rest balance, cultivating by day and playing by night; there’s no need to make things unnecessarily difficult for ourselves.”

After this shift in policy, excluding the Yun Zhi factor, the Dao-Seeking Sect’s overall strength hadn’t declined but showed subtle improvement, proving the policy’s feasibility and effectiveness.

“This is the Water Branch.” Bai Ming led the five to a misty lakeshore devoid of people, with only aquatic plants breaking through the water's surface.

“Where's everyone?”

Bai Ming stood on the water and pointed downward. “All below. Follow me.”

The six held their breaths and enveloped themselves in spirit energy to keep their clothes dry as they submerged themselves in the water.

Underwater, their view expanded drastically, revealing a bustling scene—spirit plants, fish that had yet to gain spirit intelligence, strange stones, whirlpools... It was an underwater world in every sense.

“Unfortunately, none of you have a Water Spirit Root. Otherwise, it would have been much easier for you to sense the distinct spirit opportunities here.”

The Five-Elements Sect disciples moved effortlessly underwater, clearly accustomed to training here. Some spun in circles, forcibly creating underwater tornadoes. Two disciples even collided with their whirlpools, churning the waters violently.

The Dao-Seeking Sect also had a cultivation area for those with a Water Spirit Root. It was a massive lake so deep that even Heaven’s Gate Peak would disappear beneath its surface. However, no one from Lu Yang’s group had a Water Spirit Root, so they never needed to visit such a place.

“Originally, the Water Branch was just a lake. A past Water Branch Elder traveled to the East Sea and realized oceans and lakes were entirely different environments. Thus, he stole lots of seawater from the East Sea with storage rings and relocated it here. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

“Upon further contemplation, he realized seawater alone wouldn’t work. Without sea tribes, the environment still differed from the actual East Sea. Hence, he went to the East Sea again and got in touch with various sea clans to ask if they were willing to relocate to the Five-Elements Sect.

“Most declined, but a few desiring a change of environment followed him back to the sect. Then, he had to register their household and handle residency paperwork. The procedures were extremely tedious.”

Bai Ming pointed ahead. “That’s the seawater we ‘transplanted’ from the East Sea, along with its sea tribes.”
