Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 607: From Now On, You Are Young Creed Leader Lu

Selecting an impostor Young Creed Leader Lu was no easy task.

He couldn't just grab any random Golden Core cultivator off the street. No matter how tightly bound an ordinary Golden Core cultivator was to the Dijiang Command, they couldn’t become a Golden Core cultivator of Young Creed Leader Lu’s caliber.

At the very least, it had to be a Golden Core cultivator with a solid foundation. Only then would there be room for manipulation.

Secondly, they had to know how to use a sword. When Young Creed Leader Lu rampaged through the Dao-Seeking Sect, his most notable skill was his sword technique.

Moreover, this person couldn’t belong to any major faction. If a disciple from a major faction went missing, it could easily lead to trouble.

Hence, the elderly Dijiang had searched for half a day without finding a suitable candidate.

Then he noticed Lu Yang carrying a treasured sword on his back.

The ancient Dijiang had already awakened two hundred years ago. Though it seemed he had unified most of the Demon Region in just half a year, this was actually the successful result after two centuries of accumulation.

Over these two hundred years, the Dijiang Tribe had secretly gathered all sorts of intelligence, including information on prodigies in the current era. They knew the appearances of Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Bai Ming of the Five-Elements Sect, and Shi Chan of the Hanging Monastery.

This sword-carrying person isn’t among the disciples the Dijiang Tribe had collected information on. He’s either a rogue cultivator or a disciple of an insignificant faction!

Perfect for impersonating Young Creed Leader Lu!

The one in the black cloak beside him looks to only be at the Fusion Stage—nothing to fear.

The elderly Dijiang secretly formulated a plan. As this place was crowded with eyes everywhere, it wasn’t convenient to act here. He patiently followed the two. As a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator, unless a half-immortal appears, no one can counter me. I won’t be discovered.

“Why is someone following us?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy frowned.

Jiang Lianyi nodded. “Indeed, someone has been following us. It’s probably a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator from the Dijiang Tribe.”

“What does he want?”

“Who cares?”

“Right.”

The human, ghost, and demon continued touring the Demon City.

“We’re not allowed to enter?” Lu Yang arrived at the center of the Demon City, which was blocked off by a temporarily erected hundred-meter-high wall. Great demons at the Fusion Stage stood guard here; no one was allowed to enter unless granted permission.

“This is the heavenly altar for the kingdom-founding ceremony.” Jiang Lianyi scanned the area with her spiritual consciousness and immediately knew what it looked like inside. “It seems Zhu Tian bled a lot for this.”

The main structure of the heavenly altar was constructed from liuli-glazed white jade. Even in ancient times, this material was rare; Jiang Lianyi didn’t have any. If she wanted some, she would have to take raw materials like sand and stone to the Epoch Immortal, modify conditions like wind direction and temperature, and ask the Epoch Immortal to use his Epoch Dao Fruit to create a piece of liuli-glazed white jade.

“Oh, we can see it during the kingdom-founding ceremony then,” Lu Yang said. Seeing it in advance will ruin the mystery. “Why don’t we check out that street?” He pointed to the other side of a narrow alley.

“Sure.”

The human and the demon entered the alley. The elderly Dijiang finally seized the opportunity, holding his breath and focusing his mind before quickly following.

With a flash, he leaped through the air and appeared before Lu Yang and Jiang Lianyi. “Kid, I’ve finally got you! Made me wait long enough!”

Just as Lu Yang was about to react, the elderly Dijiang swiftly pulled out the Dijiang Command and activated it with essence blood. The almost tangible phantom image of the ancient Dijiang materialized, fangs bared and claws brandished. It passed through Lu Yang’s pupils and charged into his mental space, seeking to control him.

Wielding the Dijiang Command is like having the Ancient Ancestor present in person. Let alone a mere Golden Core cultivator, even a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator can’t withstand it!

Inside the mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy pinched the ancient Dijiang phantom with one hand, her expression peculiar. What kind of move is this?

The ancient Dijiang phantom struggled like a living creature, its six limbs thrashing and its four wings flapping, stirring up a hurricane within the mental space.

Thud! Without a second thought, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy smashed her other hand onto the ancient Dijiang phantom’s head, instantly interrupting its attack.

“A half-immortal-level mental attack. That does have a bit of substance.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was confident that she was unbeatable within Lu Yang’s mental space.

At the same time, the walls of the mental space glowed, and the talisman runes constantly changed, as if charging up power for an attack.

This was the safeguard Yun Zhi had left in Lu Yang’s mental space to ensure his safety here.

With the ancient Dijiang phantom stopped by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the talisman runes on the walls dimmed and merged back into the walls, as if they had never appeared. Exerting slight force with her right hand, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy crushed the ancient Dijiang phantom, causing it to burst apart.

The ancient Dijiang phantom put up no resistance from start to finish.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang was controlled by the Dijiang Command. His eyes became vacant, his arms hung limply, and his whole body relaxed, no longer regarding the elder with vigilance.

“You too!” The elderly Dijiang aimed the Dijiang Command at Jiang Lianyi and activated it. Jiang Lianyi was also controlled and showed no reaction.

“What’s your name? Which sect are you from?” The elderly Dijiang wanted to confirm again that the person he found was suitable.

“I’m Yun Yang from the Heaven’s Gate Sect.”

“Yun Yang? No sect?” The elderly Dijiang tribesman mumbled, recalling the information he possessed on Great Xia’s geniuses. There was no Yun Yang.

“What about this person next to you?” He turned his gaze to Jiang Lianyi, whose black cloak obscured her features.

“She’s my shifu, Su Yiren.”

“The secluded Fusion cultivator, Su Yiren. So it’s her.” The elderly Dijiang understood. Few cultivators in Great Xia knew of Su Yiren, much less him, who resided in the Demon Region.

“Are you skilled with a sword?”

“Yes.”

“You two are very lucky. The Ancient Ancestor has selected you to impersonate the Heavenly Court Creed at the kingdom-founding ceremony in two days. You are no longer Yun Yang, but the Heavenly Court Creed’s Young Creed Leader Lu.”

“Yes, I am Young Creed Leader Lu!” Lu Yang declared in a resonating voice.

“Good attitude.” The elderly Dijiang nodded in satisfaction. “As for you, Su Yiren, you are a Heavenly King protector of the Heavenly Court Creed.”

Under the black cloak, Jiang Lianyi rolled her eyes and ignored him.

The elderly Dijiang paid no heed to it. “Yun Yang, your task is to impersonate the Heavenly Court Creed at the kingdom-founding ceremony, fight our tribe’s prodigy, and after a fierce battle, be defeated by our prodigy!”

“Yes, I promise to complete the mission!” Lu Yang replied in a sonorous tone.

The elderly Dijiang activated the Dijiang Command again. “I order you to unleash your full potential, no matter the price! You must reach Young Creed Leader Lu’s level in the shortest time possible!”

Right afterward, Lu Yang turned red all over, as if he was burning. He collapsed to the ground and curled into a ball, clutching the clothing over his heart and letting out a heart-rending wail.

“So painful...so hot...power...power is continuously surging out!”

All power comes with a price. Lu Yang couldn’t withstand this power. He rolled on the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans breaking out on his forehead. Soon, his hair was completely soaked with sweat.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... Lu Yang’s temperature rose higher and higher, evaporating the sweat droplets and producing a sizzling steam.

Amidst the steam, Lu Yang slowly rose, having adapted to this power.

The elderly Dijiang was overjoyed. As expected of the Dijiang Command bestowed by the Ancient Ancestor! I didn’t expect its effects to be this amazing!

“Your Excellency, I have reached Young Creed Leader Lu’s level!”
