Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 733: Question and Answer

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord wished he could become an immortal right there and then, condense the Longevity Dao Fruit, reverse time, return to yesterday, and resolutely refuse to ever enter the Dao-Seeking Sect.

What kind of damned place is the Dao-Seeking Sect? Despite living for two hundred thousand years, this is my first time hearing of an immortal getting killed!

Since Yun Zhi could eliminate Wu Yao, she must be an immortal.

And this unknown female who possesses the Undying Dao Fruit is also an immortal.

That makes two immortals in the Dao-Seeking Sect.

With this kind of strength, why bother being one of the Five Great Immortal Sects? Why not just replace Great Xia outright?

“Replace Great Xia... that seems feasible too,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy commented, stroking her chin as she seriously considered the idea.

Isn’t it said that each dynasty can only last one hundred thousand years? It happens to be the transition period now. I can follow the trend of the times, join forces with Lass Yun to unify the Central Continent, and become the emperor.

“Lu Yang, what do you think about this immortal establishing a Great Bean (Dou) Dynasty?

“This immortal will be the Dou Emperor then.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy counted on her fingers. “We can take turns becoming the emperor. Lass Yun will be the second Dou Emperor, you’ll be the third, and you can let anyone you want be the fourth.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, your naming sense is, as always, truly... indescribable.

Acting as a sycophantic minister, Lu Yang lavished praise upon the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. “The Immortal Fairy is remarkable! Abandoning bloodline succession in favor of an abdication system and allowing the competent to rise—this is something Great Qian, Great Yu, and Great Xia never achieved. This act will surely make your name resonate through the ages and be revered by later generations, establishing you as a wise emperor of all time!”

“Of course, this immortal is remarkable.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy put her hands on her hips and tilted her chin up slightly, her visage tinged with pride.

Yun Zhi ignored the insincere Lu Yang and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy who was nearly floating with pride and continued questioning. “With Wu Yao’s treasure in the Dao-Seeking Sect, you should have easily deduced that someone in the sect was capable of killing him. What caused you to exclude that possibility?”

“I thought the Yu Emperor had left this world and gone to the world outside the Box. I assumed your Dao-Seeking Sect members had merely been lucky to stumble across his relics.”

“The Yu Emperor had a way to leave this world?!” Lu Yang was astonished. The World Box was jointly forged by the Four Ancient Immortals to trap the mastermind behind the scenes. Even someone as powerful as the mastermind couldn’t leave. How did the Yu Emperor do it?

“He likely did. Over these two hundred thousand years, I met the Yu Emperor multiple times. Since I was considered his junior and had no conflicting interests with him, his attitude toward me was rather friendly. He revealed to me his desire to go to the external world.

“His Dao Fruit was the Replacement Dao Fruit, which revolves around exchange. Anything that belonged to him could be used as a bargaining chip.

“I suspect the reason he allowed the Great Yu Dynasty to fall was that he wanted to sacrifice it. In fact, it could be that he didn’t simply let it collapse but accelerated its demise. The concurrent natural and man-made disasters and the abject misery of the people in the late Great Yu era might not have been coincidental. Perhaps he first sacrificed the Great Yu Dynasty’s fortune, then the dynasty itself.

“In short, his idea was to sacrifice the Great Yu Dynasty in exchange for a method to reach the external world.

“I originally thought he had gone to the external world after that. But during the Great Yu era, I detected traces of his activity twice, though I never saw him.

“Nineteen years ago, an intense aura suddenly appeared in Yu Province—it belonged to the Yu Emperor. The aura vanished in an instant, and the change in its aura was unusual, so I surmised the Yu Emperor had left this world.”

“Yu Province?” Yun Zhi nodded. This roughly matched the location and process of her battle with the ancient immortal.

If the person I exchanged blows with was indeed the Yu Emperor, he might really have used that opportunity to discard his Dao Fruit, sacrifice himself, and fake his death to escape to the external world.

At that time, Wu Yao had tried to corrupt the power of the national fortune. This power was connected to millions of civilians; regardless of whether his attempt succeeded, it would shake the karma of all civilians under heaven. Realizing the dire situation, Yun Zhi had no choice but to go all out.

That battle concluded quickly. Yun Zhi was also uncertain whether Wu Yao had died or escaped to the external world.

But it doesn’t make much difference. The result in both cases is the removal of this Yu Emperor as a variable.

Lu Yang was stunned.

Nineteen years ago?

Wasn’t that precisely when I had transmigrated here after my death?

Holy crap, could my previous life have been in the external world, and you, Wu Yao, replaced yourself out and replaced me in?

“By the way, Immortal Fairy, can you ask the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord if he ever felt a Dao Fruit suppression before? We can use this piece of information to determine if the Epoch Immortal is still alive.” Lu Yang remembered another matter.

The Longevity Dao Fruit had two Dao Fruits superior to it: the Everlasting Dao Fruit and the Epoch Dao Fruit.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy cast the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord a disdainful glance. “That won’t work. He hasn’t fully mastered his Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit and can’t sense the suppression from a superior Dao Fruit. You might have a better chance with that individual with the Longevity Immortal Physique in the ancient era.”

“He has lived two hundred thousand years and still hasn’t fully mastered it?” Lu Yang was shocked. The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord didn’t just live for two hundred thousand years; he also accelerated his cultivation process with his Longevity Immortal Physique.

“I told you, the key to mastering an Incipient Dao Fruit is comprehension, not piling up time. Those with poor comprehension can’t become immortals even if they live a million years.”

“Do you know the whereabouts of the Four Ancient Immortals?” Yun Zhi asked directly.

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord shook his head. “No, I don’t know.”

“There is an immortal-tier great array around the sun that prevents anyone from approaching it. Do you know who created this array?”

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord showed a strange expression; he clearly knew the inside story. “There are two immortal-tier great arrays around the sun. The first was left by the First Qian Emperor. He claimed to have established a new order upon the ancient ruins. Having lofty aspirations, he firmly believed that even the sun and moon in the sky belonged to him. He forbade anyone from approaching and thus set up the first immortal-tier great array. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

“After Great Qian was destroyed and Wu Yao established the Great Yu Dynasty, he repeatedly tried to approach the sun to observe the power of the sun and moon. However, he couldn’t break through the array left by the First Qian Emperor.

“In his fury, he set up another immortal-tier great array. That way, the First Qian Emperor couldn’t obtain the sun either.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Do you two founding emperors have a screw loose?

“How many immortals were born in the Great Yu era?”

“Two. One was the Yu Emperor Wu Yao, and the other was the Imperial Preceptor Guan Shanhai.”

“The First Imperial Preceptor Guan Shanhai?”

“Yes. Both of them became immortals with the help of their nation-founding ceremonies.”

“Do you know what the Imperial Preceptor Guan Shanhai’s Dao Fruit was?”

“No, I don’t.”

“How many immortals were born in the Great Qian era?”

“To my knowledge, there was only the First Qian Emperor. After all, he left an immortal-tier great array on the sun. As for whether anyone else became an immortal, I don’t know.”

“Last question: do you know of the Ember Legacy Dynasty?” Yun Zhi asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s pupils constricted sharply.
