Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 732: Zhu Tian: Why Have So Many Immortals Suddenly Popped Up?

Chapter 732: Zhu Tian: Why Have So Many Immortals Suddenly Popped Up?

The great battle that unfolded at the Dao-Seeking Sect couldn’t be concealed; the disciples participating in the entrance trials and their family members had all witnessed it.

Soon, the news spread through every street and alley.

“Heavens, even the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord has emerged! He’s a peerless genius from the legends! Who would have thought he’d already become a half-immortal?!”

“And his gang of followers—five Transcendent Tribulation cultivators and over twenty Fusion cultivators! Good grief, that’s nearly half the strength of the Demon Region!”

“That’s nothing. The most terrifying thing is that they ambushed the Dao-Seeking Sect but ended up being captured by them instead!”

Previously, people thought the Dao-Seeking Sect only had one Transcendent Tribulation cultivator and a method comparable to one—the standard for an immortal sect. Who could have imagined the Dao-Seeking Sect possessed such a terrifying foundation?

After this battle, the Dao-Seeking Sect firmly established its position as the head of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

“The Dao-Seeking Sect’s Resurgence Ancestor from fifty thousand years ago, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, is also still alive! The world thought he was at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage, but he had secretly advanced to a half-immortal!”

“The Dao-Seeking Sect is truly fearsome.”

“I have a nephew who took part in the Dao-Seeking Sect’s entrance trials and happened to witness the entire process. There’s one detail no one has mentioned yet.”

“What detail? Please share, Fellow Daoist.”

“You know of Prodigy Lu Yang, right?”

“Who hasn’t heard of Lu Yang? He's a cultivator who challenged Divine Transfiguration cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage—a peerless genius!”

“That’s not all. According to my nephew, after the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord was defeated, he knelt before Lu Yang. However, Lu Yang didn’t want to be bowed to and shifted a step to the left. Despite that, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord persisted and adjusted his position, kowtowing to Lu Yang directly with impeccable posture!”

“What? A half-immortal knelt to Lu Yang?! How is that possible?!”

“I didn’t want to believe it either, but my nephew saw it with his own eyes. That’s the truth!”

The Taciturn Daoist Priest and Chieftain Jin were drinking and eating nearby, where they overheard the entire discussion.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest was astonished. “Founding Ancestor Vast Sea is still alive?” I am the sect leader, yet I wasn’t aware of this matter, only finding out about it through others’ discussions.

Chieftain Jin was also surprised. He never expected the Dao-Seeking Sect to have a half-immortal too. Looking at the current situation, who knows how many mighty figures are hiding in the shadows? I hope the Little Ancestor will be resolved to work hard and make the Qiongqi Tribe rank within the top ten in the upcoming Battle of the Great Era.

He encouraged himself, “I can’t slack off either.” Having followed the Taciturn Daoist Priest for most of this year, he had undergone a complete transformation.

“Big Brother Taciturn, who are we scamming next?”

~~~

Demon Region, Demon City.

In an ancient-style palace, Zhu Tian stared blankly at the intelligence report handed to him by a subordinate.

“This isn’t right. I waited over two hundred years without a single half-immortal appearing. Why are half-immortals popping out of the ground like radishes as soon as I become the ruler of the Demon Region?

“Setting aside Jiang Lianyi, the Nightmare Supreme Lord, the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord... why have so many half-immortals suddenly appeared?”

Didn’t I slumber from the ancient era until now because I wanted to reign supreme and enjoy the pleasures of absolute authority in an era without half-immortals?

If I had known this era would be so lively, I might as well have kept sleeping until the next era. Why did I have to come to join the fray in this era?

“Judging by how lively things are, I’m afraid even immortals may make an appearance... Oh wait, no, Big Brother Lu Yang’s mental space already houses one immortal.”

Zhu Tian grimaced, feeling extremely troubled. “Even if I’m the number one below immortals, I’m afraid I won’t fare well in the Battle of the Great Era.

“Is it too late to go back to slumber now?”

~~~

Incarceration Peak had never been as bustling as it was today. In the past, prisoners were captured one by one. But today was different. A total of thirty individuals joined the Incarceration Peak family.

If Incarceration Peak were considered a faction, it would be a top-tier force on par with the Demon Region.

When the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord entered Incarceration Peak, his pupils constricted sharply as if he had seen a ghost.

Wu Youdao, the Nightmare Supreme Lord, and the Void Supreme Lord were all here, along with many other familiar Great Yu cultivators.

No, not just many familiar ones—every Great Yu cultivator I know who has slept until now is here!

When and how were all these people captured and brought here?!

Especially Wu Youdao—if he’s here, where is Jin Buqun?

Jin Buqun was the Second Imperial Preceptor.

The Nightmare Supreme Lord and the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord are both here. Weren’t they captured by the ancient Heavenly Court...? Could it be that the Dao-Seeking Sect is the public identity of the ancient Heavenly Court?

One terrifying theory after another surfaced, becoming more horrifying the more he mulled over them.

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord knew his defeat at the Dao-Seeking Sect wasn’t unjustified. The Dao-Seeking Sect’s strength far exceeds what has been displayed!

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord escorted the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord and the others into Incarceration Peak and used his Incipient Dao Fruit to reinforce each prison cell.

“Then I’ll leave the rest to you.” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord called out toward the entrance of Incarceration Peak and strode away.

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord looked back, wanting to see who the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was speaking to.

At the entrance stood two figures, one male and one female, both of whom the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord recognized.

Lu Yang and Yun Zhi.

Why are these two here?

Wait! The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord recalled the heart devil Yun Zhi from the second round of the trials. If Yun Zhi wasn’t Gu Junye’s heart devil but the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s, then exactly what cultivation realm has Yun Zhi reached to become his heart devil?!

And why is this Lu Yang fellow here?

Yun Zhi didn’t give the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord any time to contemplate, tossing him into a room isolated from external detection.

“Heh, don’t dream of getting any information from me...”

Yun Zhi cupped her fists toward Lu Yang. “Senior, please step in.”

“Aiya, you still need to rely on this immortal in the end.”

A figure that made the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s blood run cold emerged. He felt the pressure originate from the bottom of his soul. It was the absolute control of a superior entity over a lesser being. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

An immortal!

In a superior position than mine—the wielder of the Undying Dao Fruit!

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy gleefully darted out from within Lu Yang and tapped the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord between his eyebrows. “This immortal commands you: you must answer all questions in full without lying.”

“Yes.” The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s mouth moved against his will.

“You can start asking him now.”

“Many thanks for your assistance, Senior.”

“Which faction do you come from?”

“We come from the Great Yu Alliance. I am the Alliance Leader.”

“When did you awake?”

“I possess the Longevity Immortal Physique and did not slumber. I have lived continuously from the early Great Yu era until now.”

“Why did you attack our Dao-Seeking Sect?”

“For the Yu Emperor Wu Yao’s immortal treasure. I saw Lu Yang holding Wu Yao’s immortal sword and suspected the Dao-Seeking Sect was in possession of his other treasures. If I obtain an immortal artifact, my strength will increase significantly. That was why I devised a plan to infiltrate the sect and coordinate from the inside and the outside to conquer it.”

Oh crap, Lu Yang thought. So it was I who attracted them. I can’t let Senior Brother Dai find out; it’d ruin my image in his heart.

Yun Zhi furrowed her brow slightly, somewhat baffled. “From where did you learn that I killed Wu Yao and obtained all his treasures?”

“What?!” The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s eyes widened abruptly. He was so flabbergasted and rendered speechless, as if he had been struck by lightning. It took him some time to process the information.

Wu Yao is dead? And you killed him?

If I had known this, I would have had to be kicked in the head by a donkey to come to your Dao-Seeking Sect!
