Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 600: Where is the Ancient Dijiang? I’ll Go Settle Accounts with Him

Chapter 600: Where is the Ancient Dijiang? I’ll Go Settle Accounts with Him

This differed drastically from Lu Yang’s expectations.

I had set a record in the ancient domain and reached the fourth level. Logically speaking, many demons should be waiting at the exit to corner me, demanding the rewards I obtained in the ancient domain.

Especially the Jiuying Tribe. I targeted Qin Feng so much inside the ancient domain. Shouldn’t the Jiuying Tribe be the main force attacking me outside?

First, Qin Feng would challenge me one-on-one, citing that the strong should be revered. Then, after Qin Feng’s defeat, the Jiuying Tribe elder would intervene, bullying the weak with his power.

At that point, the Phoenix Tribe would step forward to support me, blocking the Jiuying Tribe elder’s attack.

Considering the Jiuying Tribe’s ability to fan the flames, the Demon Alliance would side with them, saying things like “Your virtue doesn’t match your position—a junior like you has no right to obtain important treasures in the ancient domain,” “Hand them over quickly, and we might spare your life,” or “How dare you bully the members of our Demon Alliance? You will die today!”

The Phoenix Tribe would be no match for the Demon Alliance, and I would fall into crisis.

At this point, Senior Jiang Lianyi would make her entrance, backing me up. With a glare from her phoenix eyes, she would release her half-immortal oppressive pressure and declare, “Let’s see who dares touch him!” Then, she would go on a rampage and intimidate everyone.

How satisfying that would be!

But why are only Old Meng and Third Senior Sister at the exit?

Seeing that the situation outside was different from Lu Yang’s plan, Jiang Lianyi didn’t wait for his signal and stepped out of the ancient domain. She wore a dazzling, crimson long dress. With her tall stature and aloof expression, she instilled reverence and awe in people’s hearts.

Meng Jingzhou was stunned. Why is there an extra person? Why hadn’t I seen this person in the secret domain?

Gan Tian’s reaction was even stronger, her voice quivering. “Y-you are the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor?” 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Phoenix Tribe had portraits of their old ancestor inside their tribe, and Gan Tian had seen them before. The person Little Junior Brother brought out looks exactly like she has stepped out of the ancient paintings—they look exactly the same! No, she’s even more lifelike than the image in the paintings.

Gan Tian was passionate about archaeology. With a living ancient person appearing before her, especially the renowned Phoenix Ancient Ancestor surrounded by countless legends, how could she not be excited?

Soon after, Gan Tian calmed down. Wait, no matter how lucky Little Junior Brother is, he couldn’t possibly have found the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor. This must be an incarnation or clone left by the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor.

“I am Jiang Lianyi.” The citizens on the third level spoke in the modern tongue, and Jiang Lianyi had learned it with a sweep of her spiritual consciousness.

Hearing Jiang Lianyi’s self-introduction, Gan Tian’s heart missed a beat. It really is the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor from the legends?!

Meng Jingzhou stared at Jiang Lianyi and Lu Yang as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief. What’s going on with you, kid? How did a trip to the ancient domain result in you summoning the Phoenix Tribe’s old ancestor?

Gan Tian was emotional as she asked, “Legends say you had perished. Have you undergone nirvana rebirth and returned?”

Jiang Lianyi, “...”

The story of nirvana rebirth has been passed down until now? Would answering that I used the Play-Dead Technique to feign death until now tarnish my image?

She replied placidly, “Do not spread this matter. Only you three know of my resurrection.”

The three nodded repeatedly.

“By the way, where are the Phoenix Tribe and the other races?”

Lu Yang thought, Since I’ve also awakened the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor, along with my connection to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, there shouldn’t be a problem with me becoming the Phoenix Tribe’s second ancestor, right?

Gan Tian recounted everything that had transpired from when Lu Yang entered the ancient domain to when he emerged from it.

Jiang Lianyi furrowed her brow slightly, somewhat displeased. “Such audacity from Zhu Tian! To think he tried to use his Incipient Dao Fruit to control my Phoenix Tribe! Does he think I’m not around?”

Zhu Tian was the name of the ancient Dijiang. Dijiang were fully red, and they used “Zhu” as their surname.

As a fellow possessor of the Law of the Jungle Incipient Dao Fruit, Jiang Lianyi knew what it meant to have a master-servant mark planted by such an Incipient Dao Fruit. It represented absolute control of the strong over the weak; even life and death were the difference of a mere thought.

In ancient times, she hadn’t even done such a thing. She never expected that Zhu Tian would have grown ambitious and emboldened in an era without immortals, plotting to not only unify the demon race but also prepare to control the Phoenix Tribe. If the Phoenix Tribe’s foundation and heritage weren’t as deep, they would likely have been controlled long ago.

“Where is Zhu Tian? I’ll go find him!” She had a fiery temperament to begin with. Zhu Tian is practically riding on the Phoenix Tribe’s head! Does he really think I’m dead?!

Startled, Lu Yang secretly asked in his mental space, “Immortal Fairy, didn’t you say those who awaken from slumber have greatly diminished strength and require a long time to recover? Senior Jiang just woke up. Can she defeat the ancient Dijiang?”

“You must be joking. Don’t mix my Play-Dead Technique with those miscellaneous methods! Once my Play-Dead Technique is cast, one’s vitality is completely locked within the body. Lianyi’s strength now is the same as in the ancient era—she’s at her peak condition!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy placed her hands on her hips, extremely proud of her Play-Dead Technique.

Ascertaining that Jiang Lianyi’s strength hadn’t dwindled, Lu Yang became even more respectful and hurriedly advised, “Senior, please don’t be overly angry over this matter and harm your body. Senior Zhu Tian’s whereabouts are elusive, but the kingdom-founding ceremony is about to be held. As the ruler, Senior Zhu Tian will definitely attend. We can find him there.”

“That also works.”

Lu Yang kindly suggested, “There’s one more thing. This attire of yours is too ostentatious. I’m afraid someone would recognize you even before you attend the ceremony. If Senior Zhu Tian learns of your arrival, he might hide. Would you like to consider a simple disguise?”

Setting Jiang Lianyi’s identity aside, just her appearance—ranked among the top three of the Ten Ancient Beauties—would attract countless gazes wherever she went, making her the center of attention. On top of that, the Phoenix Tribe had portraits of Jiang Lianyi. It would be strange if chaos didn’t break out.

Jiang Lianyi thought it made sense. She took out a black cloak from her storage ring and draped it over herself with practiced ease, seeming to have done this action numerous times.

“Hmm? Why did I do that subconsciously?” Jiang Lianyi froze, somewhat baffled. Given my personality, I never act secretively. I shouldn’t have worn cloaks often. This doesn’t make sense.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was not at all surprised and transmitted an auditory message to Jiang Lianyi. “I often took you and Little Ling to auctions, where we pretended to be harmless, playing the pig to eat the tiger. Back then, all three of us wore cloaks.”

Gan Tian took out her beast hide, invited Jiang Lianyi to sit on it, and set off for the Dijiang Tribe with the other three.

On the beast hide, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was feeling bored when she suddenly remembered something. “Isn’t there something off about the way you and Lianyi address each other?

“Lianyi calls me jiejie.

“Lu Yang, you call her senior.

“Lianyi calls you Lu Yang.”

“What’s the problem with that?” Lu Yang didn’t see an issue. What else should I call her? Lianyi-jiejie?

“No no, the seniority is messed up. Although I didn’t formally accept Lianyi as a disciple, we had a master-disciple relationship in practice. Lu Yang, as the second-in-command of the Everlasting Lineage and my disciple, your status should be higher than Lianyi’s based on sect affiliation.”

“So...?”

“So, you are Lianyi’s Big Senior Brother!”

Jiang Lianyi nodded. “I’ll listen to Everlasting-jiejie. What about you, Big Senior Brother?”

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, please don’t speak nonsense. I’m afraid the Qilin Immortal might suddenly appear behind me.

And Senior Lianyi, please don’t mess around. My fate profile is shallow; I can’t bear such a form of address.
