Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 734: The Vanished Ember Legacy Dynasty

“You know of the Ember Legacy Dynasty too?!”

“Too?” Yun Zhi realized the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord knew about the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

Ever since learning of the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence from the Everlasting Secret Domain, Yun Zhi had tapped into all her connections to inquire about it. But neither the First Xia Emperor Jiang Ping’an nor the recently captured Nightmare Supreme Lord and the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord had heard of the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

This had once caused Yun Zhi to doubt the dynasty’s existence.

Finally, she encountered someone who knew about the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

“This place of yours is secure, right? Besides you three, no one else will know what I’ve said, right?” The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord had to disclose everything he knew under the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s control.

“Of course,” Yun Zhi replied.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Lu Yang concurred. With the three of them present, this was the safest place under heaven.

If not for the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s presence, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord would never have been willing to speak of the Ember Legacy Dynasty. The fact that he dared discuss matters regarding Wu Yao with his aides but never mentioned the Ember Legacy Dynasty spoke volumes.

Considering there are two immortals here—one who killed the Yu Emperor and one who possesses the Undying Dao Fruit—I should be able to rest assured.

“Initially, I didn’t know of the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence either. I’m not trying to brag, but I have visited every scripture library in the world, including the one in Great Yu’s imperial palace, to learn numerous spells.

“Not a single book mentioned the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

“It wasn’t until I became a half-immortal, faked my death, and went into hiding that I pieced together clues from remnants in secret domains, hints dropped by Wu Yao, and murals in dilapidated temples. That was when I learned of the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

“But when I returned to those secret domains containing clues about the Ember Legacy Dynasty, I found that they had been damaged along with the dilapidated temples.”

Lu Yang frowned. “When exactly was the Ember Legacy Dynasty established?”

“After the ancient era, before the Great Qian Dynasty.”

“What?!” Lu Yang was astonished. A dynasty was established during that period?

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy isn’t aware of the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence. Does that mean it was established after the four immortals sealed off the world?

“People say an immortal battle occurred in ancient times, where the stars were refined into continents. From then on, the legacies were severed, and even the ancient language was lost. It was upon the ancient ruins that the First Qian Emperor established the Great Qian Dynasty.

“In fact, this is a mistaken belief.

“After the ancient immortals refined the stars into continents, the Ember Legacy Dynasty was established, and it used the ancient language. After one hundred thousand years, the dynasty perished.

“The reason for its fall is unknown, but one thing is certain—someone deliberately erased all traces of the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

“And that someone was an immortal!

“That immortal erased all evidence of the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence—buildings, mortals, cultivators, books, and even the language... everything was gone.

“It was as if they wanted to sever everything related to the Ember Legacy Dynasty. Anyone who knew of the dynasty’s existence risked being eliminated by that immortal.

“In the late Great Yu era, I befriended another half-immortal with the Daoist title Wooden Seal Savant, and he also knew of the Ember Legacy Dynasty. Our original plan was to establish the Great Yu Alliance together. He didn’t have the Longevity Immortal Physique, so he chose to slumber. We agreed that I would wake him up when the Great Era arrives.

“But to my surprise, he perished before the Great Era even began.

“Every five thousand years, I would check on the Wooden Seal Savant’s condition. Thirty thousand years ago, I went to his cave domain as usual. But when I arrived, I found him dead, with his chest pierced right through!”

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s voice quivered. “There were no signs of a struggle. Even though he was in slumber, if someone had tried to ambush him, his instincts would have sensed the danger, and he would have risen to fight. Even if he was outmatched, he shouldn’t have been killed in one blow.

“His killer wasn’t a half-immortal but an immortal!”

At this point, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord showed a fearful expression. The Wooden Seal Savant’s demise had left a deep psychological trauma in him. “This is why I repeatedly asked you whether this place is safe to confirm no one else would eavesdrop. Once that immortal learns of what was said here, my fate would be grim too.”

“So that’s how it is,” Yun Zhi mused. She never expected such hidden circumstances behind the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence.

That immortal who went to great lengths to conceal the dynasty’s existence is likely the true reason the ancient legacies were broken.

At first, Yun Zhi couldn’t find any information about the Ember Legacy Dynasty and had assumed it had vanished for the same reason as the Everlasting Immortal Fairy—erased by the mastermind with some special method.

But judging from things now, the reason for its thorough disappearance is someone else. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

“What is the relationship between the Ember Legacy Dynasty and the Four Ancient Immortals?” Yun Zhi asked. She remembered there were ruins of the Ember Legacy Dynasty with an androgynous statue of the Everlasting Immortal in the Everlasting Secret Domain.

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord replied cautiously, “I saw a mural in a dilapidated temple. It was severely damaged, and I could only make out that it depicted the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s founding, with four imposing figures carved on it. This is only my speculation, but I speculate that the Ember Legacy Dynasty was jointly established by the Four Ancient Immortals.” Uncertain of Yun Zhi and the other two’s stance toward the ancient immortals, he emphasized it was merely speculation.

Judging by this trio’s lack of knowledge of the Ember Legacy Dynasty, the members of their ancient Heavenly Court likely entered collective slumber before the dynasty’s founding and only recently awakened.

Wait, that’s not right either. Two of these three are immortals; is there any need for them to slumber?

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord felt a chill run down his spine as a bold conjecture struck him. Could your ancient Heavenly Court be fake?

He dared not continue this line of thought, fearing he would be silenced. He even wanted to slap himself. Why do you have to be so clever and think so much?!

“The Four Ancient Immortals founded the Ember Legacy Dynasty... an immortal who erased the dynasty’s existence... Could this be related to the Epoch Immortal’s fall?” Lu Yang mumbled. If so, this unknown immortal’s power is likely extremely terrifying.

“What? The Epoch Immortal fell?” The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord perked up upon hearing Lu Yang’s murmur.

He was immediately met with unfriendly looks from Lu Yang and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, and he laughed awkwardly.

“What was his purpose in concealing the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence?” Yun Zhi was puzzled. Does the dynasty hold some indescribable secret?

Yun Zhi hadn’t expected the matter of the Ember Legacy Dynasty to involve another immortal, and a ruthless one at that.

She glanced at Lu Yang and suddenly remembered he was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, not yet the time for him to know about immortal-level gambits. “Little Junior Brother, leave the matter of the Ember Legacy Dynasty to me. Don’t get yourself involved.”

Lu Yang scratched his head. Is Big Senior Sister overestimating me? I’m just an Intermediate Double Infants cultivator. Even if I want to investigate the Ember Legacy Dynasty, my cultivation level wouldn’t allow it.
