Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 714: After Slumbering for 120,000 Years, My Sect Has Become the Number One Major Sect

Chapter 714: After Slumbering for 120,000 Years, My Sect Has Become the Number One Major Sect

The Innate Daoist Priest hesitantly pointed behind Eighth Elder as a kind reminder. “Let’s put aside whatever thoughts I may have now; it seems this junior named Yun Zhi doesn’t quite approve of your thoughts.”

Eighth Elder turned his head and saw Yun Zhi, whose countenance was as cold as frost.

Yun Zhi stated icily, “Eighth Elder, wanting to improve is a good thing. I will faithfully relay your thoughts to Grand-Shifu.”

Eighth Elder broke out in a cold sweat. If Shifu learns of this, won’t he lock me up in Incarceration Peak? It’s not like Incarceration Peak has no more space for one more inmate.

“No no no, let’s discuss this properly.“ Eighth Elder switched to an integrating smile.

“Sit back down.”

Eighth Elder hurriedly returned to his seat, sitting upright in an impeccable posture with his chest out and head held high.

The Innate Daoist Priest leaned slightly toward Lu Yang and whispered, “I’ve been wanting to ask, is this junior named Yun Zhi the current sect leader?”

Lu Yang shook his head. “No, but whatever she says, the sect leader generally listens.”

“The sect leader is that obedient?”

“Founding Ancestor, do you know about the current Five Great Immortal Sects in Great Xia?” 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

“I’ve heard about them from the pingshu storytelling.” He had learned that his own sect had become a top-tier faction from storytellers on the streets.

“Even the sect leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects combined wouldn’t warrant Big Senior Sister to strike with one hand.”

The Innate Daoist Priest’s pupils widened. Is this junior named Yun Zhi really that powerful?

I’ve heard that the Abbot of the Hanging Monastery is a Transcendent Tribulation expert. Just how formidable is this Yun Zhi’s strength? I’m afraid she’s the most outstanding combatant even among Transcendent Tribulation cultivators.

At the moment, Yun Zhi was recounting the Innate Daoist Priest’s experiences after waking up. When she reached the part where the Chess-Observing True Lord and his two companions tried to seize the Golden Cicada Shell, the elders were filled with righteous indignation, slamming the table in anger.

“How dare they bully our Founding Ancestor? Those Great Qian cultivators are tired of living!”

“Where are they? Let’s go teach them a lesson.”

“They’ve already been captured by the imperial court.”

“Let's break into jail!”

“Yes, yes, let’s break into jail!”

They dare to bully the Founding Ancestor? We must absolutely show those Great Qian cultivators the methods of the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“Stop messing around!” First Elder berated. He was their big brother after all, and the other seven elders quieted down. “We are the brightest and the best from the righteous path! What’s with breaking into jail? Don’t you know how to use your brains and solve this through proper methods?”

“Big Brother, what do you propose?”

“Can’t we just commit a crime ourselves and get locked up with the Chess-Observing True Lord?”

“Right, right! Big Brother’s mind is still the sharpest.”

“It’s a good method.”

The elders jubilantly discussed how to commit crimes. Watching these juniors share criminal techniques so skillfully, the Innate Daoist Priest couldn’t help but feel that this scene didn’t match his impression of a righteous sect.

“Little Meng, our Dao-Seeking Sect is really a righteous sect now, right?”

Meng Jingzhou shook his head steadily. “It depends. We sometimes impersonate a diabolic creed.”

“Ah?”

Noting the elders’ intense discussion, Yun Zhi walked over to the Innate Daoist Priest. “Founding Ancestor, would you still like to meet the other higher-ups?”

“Yes.”

“Very well. Little Junior Brother, Junior Brother Meng, you two follow us. We are going to Incarceration Peak.”

~~~

Incarceration Peak was quite a distance away from the core area of the Dao-Seeking Sect. Since the Innate Daoist Priest was still a mortal, several days wouldn’t be enough if they walked.

Yun Zhi plucked a cloud from the sky and had the three sit upon it, bringing them to Incarceration Peak.

“Where is this place?” The Innate Daoist Priest sensed the Incarceration Peak’s gloomy and frigid atmosphere.

“Incarceration Peak. Our sect wields enforcement authority. Those imprisoned here are usually criminals we encounter who have violated Great Xia’s laws.”

Upon spotting Lu Yang, the criminals confined here had a trace of fear flash past their eyes.

Although this kid’s cultivation is low, isn’t every heavyweight figure imprisoned here connected to him in some way?

Who has he captured this time?

“Ah, Little Yun is here. Little Lu and the Meng boy are here too.” The childlike Grand-Shifu emerged from a room and greeted them with a smile, though he seemed somewhat nervous.

Then, he turned his gaze to the sole stranger in the group and exhaled a sigh of relief. “I thought you had captured another half-immortal. Turns out it’s just a mortal.”

The grand-shifu resumed his normal demeanor, seeming even more relaxed than usual. He opened an empty prison cage and casually said to the Innate Daoist Priest, “Go in yourself.”

Lu Yang coughed. “Ahem, Grand-Shifu, you’ve misunderstood. He isn’t a prisoner.”

“Not a prisoner?” The grand-shifu was bewildered. “Then who is he?”

“The Innate Daoist Priest, Qi Tongtian.”

“...Who?”

“Our Founding Ancestor, the Innate Daoist Priest.”

The grand-shifu’s eyes widened, his pupils reflecting the Innate Daoist Priest’s figure. With his face wreathed in disbelief, he turned his head to look at Yun Zhi for confirmation.

Yun Zhi nodded, indicating that Lu Yang was telling the truth.

The grand-shifu stared at Lu Yang like he had seen a ghost, his astonishment plain on his visage. You kid cause more trouble than Taciturn and the other eight combined! At the same time, he quietly closed the prison cell door, pretending nothing had happened.

Back then, the nine of them had simply messed with their peers; with some effort, I could handle it. But you? Going out and encountering Fusion, Transcendent Tribulation, and half-immortal cultivators is one thing, but now you’ve even unearthed the Founding Ancestor?

“Coincidence, it was all a coincidence.” Lu Yang tried his best to prove his innocence. It wasn’t that I caused trouble but that trouble found me.

“And this is?” The Innate Daoist Priest took the initiative to break the awkward situation.

“The previous sect leader of the Dao-Seeking Sect, Tang Shengyi. His cultivation is at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.”

“This junior, Tang Shengyi, pays his respects to the Founding Ancestor.” The grand-shifu performed a deep bow.

The Innate Daoist Priest was not accustomed to it and wanted to dodge. It’s my first time having a Transcendent Tribulation expert bow to me.

He felt a bit embarrassed and tried to change the subject. Surveying his surroundings, he asked, “Speaking of which, who are all the people imprisoned here? Would it be convenient to introduce them?”

“Allow this junior to introduce them to you, Founding Ancestor. Most of the criminals locked up in Incarceration Peak are Great Yu cultivators, with a minority being Great Qian cultivators. I captured them all.” The grand-shifu pointed to one of the prison cages. “This one confines the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord.”

The first introduction already shocked the Innate Daoist Priest, who could barely control his voice. “The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord? The Transcendent Tribulation cultivator who commands lightning?”

Legends said the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord was the pinnacle of lightning-spell cultivators in his era, revered by cultivators practicing lightning spells. Even in the Innate Daoist Priest’s era, there were lightning-spell sects that claimed their ancestors had received the true legacy of the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord, a testament to his extensive influence.

“This one confines the Black-White Venerable Lord.”

“The Black-White Venerable Lord? The legends say he was the right-hand man of the second Imperial Preceptor!”

The grand-shifu scratched his head. “Originally, we had captured the second Imperial Preceptor, but there was a bit of an accident in the middle, and he died from a curse backlash.” He hurriedly added, “Although we didn’t capture the second Imperial Preceptor, our sect did capture Wu Youdao.”

“The sixth Yu Emperor, Wu Youdao?!” The Innate Daoist Priest stared at the young man with a monarch’s bearing in the prison cage, feeling an inexplicable astonishment.

This is Wu Youdao, the one with the second highest talent among all Yu emperors! Fortunately, the dynasty has changed. If this were in my era, it would be outright treason.

“These two are the Nightmare Supreme Lord and the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord.” The grand-shifu pointed at two soul entities. “Their physical bodies have already been used as artifact refinement materials.”

Seeing the lack of reaction from the Innate Daoist Priest, the grand-shifu smacked his head. “Oh right, you may not know the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord. He is a half-immortal who vied for supremacy with the Xia Emperor during the late Great Yu era.”

The Innate Daoist Priest had already been rendered speechless and lost the ability to react after the shocking revelations, his eyes turning dull and vacant.

I’ve never heard of the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord, but I know of the Nightmare Supreme Lord, a famous half-immortal. He was once an overlord of the world and the most powerful contender for supremacy at the end of the Great Qian Era. If not for the first Yu Emperor, the Nightmare Supreme Lord would have established a dynasty.

One question after another arose in his mind.

How were these legendary supreme powerhouses captured?

Why does it feel like the Dao-Seeking Sect’s strength is even more exaggerated than the storytellers described?

Just how powerful is this sect I founded?
