Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 674: Turning Illusion Into Reality

Everyone present was startled by the turn of events, especially the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord, whose face was so dark that water could drip from it.

The Void Realm was his territory and blocked external perception from the outside world. In theory, no one should be able to find this place, let alone enter.

The Void Realm’s exterior was more fragile than its interior. Breaking in from the outside required one’s cultivation to be at least on par with the One-Qi Venerable Lord’s, in other words, the Advanced Transcendent Tribulation Stage.

Sensing the flickering marks left on the twin sisters’ hands, he figured out what had happened. The other party had left marks on these two sisters and followed them to find me.

Although I don’t know what the Twins River is or how these two sisters are connected to it, since this person has come to the Void Realm, they shall leave their leaves here!

Anyone who enters the Void Realm may find out about my Incipient Dao Fruit’s ability; absolutely no one can leave! Once my ability is leaked, opponents can devise countermeasures and significantly diminish the advantage of my Incipient Dao Fruit in the future.

It doesn’t matter whether this tall and thin bamboo pole is at the Advance or Apex Transcendent Tribulation stage or even a half-immortal; I’m confident I can keep this person here!

“Twins River?” Hearing the familiar term, Lu Yang confirmed with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, “Immortal Fairy, is that the Twins River you created, the one where drinking its water allows one to conceive twins? Were Fuling and her sister born after their mother drank from the Twins River?”

Lu Yang recalled the twin sisters mentioning that their mother had gone to the Ancient Forest Temple to seek Master Yuxin and pray for children. The process was unknown, but she eventually gave birth to the sisters.

So, did Master Yuxin make the sisters’ mother drink water from the Twins River?

“Now that you mention it, it might really be possible.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy exclaimed softly, then carefully examined the twin sisters, but she couldn’t discern anything.

“Immortal Fairy, you can’t tell whether these sisters are products of the Twins River?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes. “Who could tell that? It’s not like I gave birth to them. But if these two lasses are really connected to the Twins River, it might be possible to track down the Twins River through them.”

“How?”

“That’s simple. This immortal can just cast a minor origin-tracing spell to locate it. But only I can use this method. That tall and thin bamboo pole who just popped up definitely can’t.”

“Then what is his method?” Lu Yang stole a glance at the two figures confronting each other in the air. Both were arrogant individuals confident in their own strength; it was unlikely that a few simple words could resolve this.

“Living beings born from consuming the waters of the Mother-Child River or the Twins River have one characteristic—after death, their souls turn into formless energy, return to the river, and become part of it. It’s what people often call ‘falling leaves return to the roots—all things go back to their source eventually.’

“But the premise is that these living beings die peacefully.”

“Why is there such a premise?” Lu Yang was puzzled.

“People are born without inherent good or evil. The Mother-Child River and Twins River must also remain absolutely pure. If there is regret or resentment before one’s death, it would pollute the rivers, affecting living beings born subsequently. Thus, I added this restriction.”

“I see.” Lu Yang nodded. It sounds like the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had given it considerable thought when creating the two rivers.

“This thin bamboo pole probably wants these two lasses to die blissfully in their sleep. At that time, their spirits will return to the Twins River. However, he only left a mark and hadn’t fully prepared to put the two lasses into the dream when this kid called Void Emptiness dragged them into the Void Realm.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s conjecture was correct. Upon seeing an outsider intrude, the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord was filled with killing intent, and the tall and thin bamboo pole wasn’t much better.

Do you know how much effort I’d expended to find the Twins River?

After awakening, he had heard about the matter of Master Yuxin praying for children and realized the latter knew the location of the Twins River. Unfortunately, Master Yuxin had already died of old age, cutting off the clues. He could only settle for the next best option: finding the last twins of the Twins River—Fuling and Kongque.

Killing the sisters directly would result in their spirits carrying resentment, preventing them from returning to the Twins River. Yet, he couldn’t wait a hundred years for them to die of old age. Moreover, as the sisters were twins from the Twins River, they were blessed with great fortune and weren’t easy to kill. Hence, he could only make them die in their dreams.

After finding the sisters, he planned to let them live out their lives in their dreams tonight and die peacefully in their sleep.

Who would have thought that something like this would happen before night fell? This is the Twins River, a creation of an immortal, a legendary item, and an ancient supreme treasure crafted by the Heaven Mandate Immortal. Its value rivals that of an immortal artifact, and it encompasses the Heaven Mandate Immortal’s unparalleled divine abilities and the Dao charms of heaven and earth. Anyone who obstructs me from obtaining the Twins River will have a blood feud with me!

“I’m taking these two away,” the tall and thin bamboo pole stated coldly, disregarding the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord.

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord was angered by the commanding attitude. “Fellow Daoist, aren’t you disregarding me too much?!”

“Are you releasing them or not?!” Toward someone getting in the way of his fortuitous opportunity, the tall and thin bamboo pole showed no courtesy.

“What if I say no?!”

“Then we’ll settle it with our skills!”

Both had their own pride and refused to yield an inch. Moreover, the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord never intended to let the other party leave alive.

“Manifold Creations!” With a thought, the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord conjured nearly a hundred different kinds of magical treasures. Each was coated with a deadly, incurable poison—the slightest touch would mean certain death!

“Void Emptiness, collapse!”

The space beneath the tall and thin bamboo pole’s feet distorted like quicksand, and he couldn’t break free. Faced with the onslaught of magical treasures, he had nowhere to evade.

The Void Realm was the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord’s territory; he could control it at will!

Facing the lethal attacks that sealed his path of retreat, the tall and thin bamboo pole frowned. He hadn’t expected his opponent’s ability to be void creation. He softly uttered, “Enter Dream.”

With that, the entire Void Realm fell into a hazy state between reality and illusion, as though everything was false yet also real. It was as if a veil had been cast over everyone, slowing their thoughts. Even the One-Qi Venerable Lord was somewhat affected, though he regained his senses quickly.

Only two present were unaffected: the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord and Lu Yang.

“Immortal Fairy, what’s going on?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy revealed an excited smile. “Interesting. It seems this bamboo pole’s Incipient Dao Fruit is related to dreamscapes. He’s now merged the Void Realm with a dreamscape. All of you are both in a dream and in reality.

“If this were outside, he would only be capable of pulling everyone into a dream. But here in the Void Realm, which isn’t a true world, his Incipient Dao Fruit’s ability can be further unleashed, allowing dreams to directly affect reality. He’s not far from reaching the realm of ‘turning illusion into reality.’

“That’s not even the most interesting part. Do you know what is?”

“What?”

“These two Incipient Dao Fruits—one creates a Void Realm, while the other creates a dreamscape—both belong to the ‘turning illusion into reality’ lineage, and this lineage has yet to produce an immortal.

“Do you remember why the Qilin Immortal, Lianyi, and Little Ling were engaged in a great battle?”

Lu Yang’s pupils constricted sharply as he understood what the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was getting at. “Are you saying that only one of them can become an immortal?”

“Correct. The battle for immortal ascension is a fight to the death!”

The One-Qi Venerable Lord was a beat slower, but also realized they were in a dreamscape, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn’t know what an immortal ascension battle was or that these two were in a fight to the death, but he guessed the tall and thin bamboo pole’s identity.

“Dreamscape...an Incipient Dao Fruit about dreams... Could he be the Nightmare Supreme Lord?”

The Nightmare Supreme Lord was a figure from the late Great Qian era and wielded the Dreamscape Incipient Dao Fruit. He once contended for the empire with the founding Yu Emperor but narrowly lost.
