Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 574: The True Identity of the Ancient Nameless One

Chapter 574: The True Identity of the Ancient Nameless One

Many cultivators possessed the ability to reach the very bottom of the continent, but very few actually did so because the thought simply didn’t occur to them.

Lu Yang was no exception. He had never considered continuously using Shrinking Earth to reach the continent’s bottom and see the scenery on its other side. It was only after Gan Tian mentioned it that he took action.

The bottom of the continent was pitch black, and nothing was visible. Lu Yang wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to scout around, but the Everlasting Immortal Fairy stopped him.

“Don’t use your spiritual consciousness to look. This thing isn’t something you can understand. Your mind wouldn’t even be able to endure a single glance.”

Lu Yang obediently retreated. Matters of immortals should be handled by immortals. I shall not get involved.

“Stay farther away. I’m afraid something unexpected might happen and implicate you.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was seeing something like this for the first time. From what that little lass Gan Tian described, its characteristic is being impenetrable. But who knows if it has other effects, like reflecting damage, refraction, and whatnot?

Lu Yang retreated once more.

“Why are you in such a hurry to run so far?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy called Lu Yang back again.

Lu Yang obediently returned. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy gently tapped Lu Yang’s head twice, connecting them with her immortal consciousness. This way, no matter how far Lu Yang ran, they could still communicate as long as he didn’t leave the range of her immortal consciousness. However, to prevent Lu Yang from suffering mental shock, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t share her vision like last time.

“Alright, you can go now.”

After ensuring Lu Yang was in a safe zone, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy extended her immortal consciousness, analyzing inch by inch. Under her powerful immortal consciousness, the structure of the continent’s bottommost layer was presented before her eyes. The more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.

“There are two barriers set here, corresponding to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage and the Immortal Stage respectively. The first barrier cannot be pierced by Transcendent Tribulation cultivators, and the second barrier cannot be pierced by immortals.”

“Is there none that corresponds to half-immortals?”

“The biggest difference between a half-immortal and a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator is whether one wields an Incipient Dao Fruit. You can think of half-immortals as a transition phase between the Transcendent Tribulation Stage and the Immortal Stage. If you master the Incipient Dao Fruit at the Basic Transcendent Tribulation Stage, you’re a half-immortal. If you master it at the Apex Transcendent Tribulation Stage, you’re still a half-immortal.

“The difference between these two types of half-immortals lies in their base power. Only when a half-immortal fully condenses their Dao Fruit and becomes an immortal will their overall strength make a significant leap.”

“I see.” Although Lu Yang was only at the Eighth-Layer Golden Core Stage, he already possessed a vast amount of knowledge that even Transcendent Tribulation cultivators might not grasp.

“Such a complex structure. Who set this up?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy gently knocked the first barrier. It was punctured, and countless runes flickered, converging into a beam of white light. The white light flashed, and the barrier returned to its original seamless state, as if it had never been damaged.

This process took less than half a breath.

When the Everlasting Immortal Fairy knocked the barrier again in the same way, the barrier showed not the slightest change, with not even a single scratch or gap.

“This is...” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy hesitated.

“Immortal Fairy, is there a problem?”

“There are two types of Dao Fruits at work in this barrier.”

“Two types?”

“The Epoch Immortal’s Epoch Dao Fruit and the Qilin Immortal’s Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit. The Epoch Dao Fruit reverses time, restoring the damaged barrier to its original state. The Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit prevents the same attack from breaching the barrier again.

“Wait, that’s not right. This barrier’s strength also contains the Nine-Layers Immortal’s Yin-Yang Dao Fruit. The Yin-Yang Dao Fruit imbues the barrier with the concept of ‘Hardest,’ making the first barrier so hard that Transcendent Tribulation cultivators can’t pierce it, and the second barrier so hard that even immortal power can’t pierce it.”

The essence of Dao Fruits was to add a rule to the world. If the Everlasting Immortal Fairy wished, she could add an ‘Everlasting Rule’ to the world, granting everyone eternal life.

The barrier followed the same principle. The Epoch Immortal, the Qilin Immortal, and the Nine-Layers Immortal extended their Dao Fruits’ rules onto the barrier, causing it to become indestructible, the hardest existence even immortals couldn’t penetrate.

“It’s still not right. If these three Dao Fruits are present, I should have recognized them at a glance, not through repeated experimentation and deduction of the Dao Fruits from the phenomena...unless the Heaven Mandate Immortal’s Tribulation Mandate Dao Fruit is also involved.

“Yes, the Tribulation Mandate Dao Fruit should be here too. The Heaven Mandate Immortal used his Dao Fruit to cast the ‘Immeasurable Tribulation,’ completely disrupting the rules of the other three Dao Fruits, shattering and reorganizing them.

“What’s the Immeasurable Tribulation?”

“It’s complicated to explain. You can understand it as the greatest and most chaotic tribulation. Once cast, even the Heaven Mandate Immortal himself cannot break it. Furthermore, casting the Immeasurable Tribulation on the barrier is akin to tying a dead knot. You can only cut the rope; no one can untie it.”

Lu Yang clarified, “That is to say that this barrier is the work of the Four Ancient Immortals, but even if you summon all four of them, they can’t remove the barrier?”

“That’s the idea.”

Lu Yang sucked in a cold breath. The Four Ancient Immortals were really ruthless. What were they trying to do?

“So, the so-called Ancient Nameless One is actually the Four Ancient Immortals?” If the barrier’s construction is the work of the Four Ancient Immortals, does that mean the Ancient Nameless One from the legend, who refined the stars into continents, is the Four Ancient Immortals?

Everyone has fallen into a fallacy—the Ancient Nameless One wasn’t one person but four.

“It was the four of them!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy nodded affirmatively, a relaxed smile spreading across her visage. “I knew my death had nothing to do with those four.”

Lu Yang hesitated, feeling the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was jumping to conclusions too early. Can this really rule out the possibility of the Four Ancient Immortals joining hands to murder the Everlasting Immortal Fairy?

“I naturally have my reasons for reaching this conclusion.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy changed the subject. “Do you know how to break this barrier?”

This was a cage laid down jointly by the Four Ancient Immortals. According to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, even immortals couldn’t open it. All living beings would be forced to live inside this cage, life after life, generation after generation.

“How to break it?”

“The Immeasurable Tribulation is the biggest problem. It’s like a chest locked with ten thousand locks, and you hold ten thousand keys without knowing which key fits which lock. You need to use one key to open one lock, and you can’t fail in this process. One wrong attempt means starting over. It’s purely a matter of luck.

“To break the Immeasurable Tribulation, one must attack continuously with immortal-level power. But due to the presence of the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit, immortal-level attacks cannot be repeated.”

“Then...” Lu Yang followed the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s line of thought to devise a solution.

“So my existence is needed. My self-detonation isn’t restricted by the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit. Every self-detonation method is different.

“To unlock the cage barrier, we Five Ancient Immortals must act simultaneously. The Heaven Mandate Immortal and I will crack the Immeasurable Tribulation, while the Epoch Immortal, the Qilin Immortal, and the Nine-Layers Immortal will undo the rule restrictions!”

Lu Yang’s mind buzzed. Combining the existing evidence and connecting everything, he envisioned the scene from three hundred thousand years ago and understood why the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could be certain the Four Ancient Immortals weren’t the culprits.

After the Everlasting Immortal Fairy died, the Four Ancient Immortals couldn’t find the culprit. At the same time, they weren’t able to resurrect the Everlasting Immortal Fairy for some reason. Thus, they joined forces to perform a world-shocking feat, refining the stars into continents. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This is a blatant message to the culprit: either resurrect the Everlasting Immortal Fairy to unlock the cage, or all of us shall stay trapped inside with no hopes of escape!!!
