Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 771: Night Investigation of the Remnant Immortal Battleground

Chapter 771: Night Investigation of the Remnant Immortal Battleground

“We made it out alive?” Xiao Xinghai was still unable to believe it, his heart still pounding with lingering fear. This is the East Sea’s moving natural disaster. I’ve heard the chance of escaping from the Fata Morgana is less than ten percent, and escaping unscathed is less than one percent.

What secret treasure does Lu Yang possess? Its directions were so effective!

Tao Yaoye’s cultivation realm had fallen back to the Intermediate Nascent Soul Stage. Her aura was feeble, and even consuming Qi Replenishment Pills was ineffective.

Seeing Tao Yaoye was so frail she might collapse, Lu Yang hurriedly supported her and asked with concern, “How are you feeling?” He wanted to take out pills to heal Tao Yaoye.

Tao Yaoye shook her head lightly, her voice faint. “This is the aftereffect of using the Metamorphic Immortal Physique. Pills don’t work. I need to convalesce quietly for a few days to recover on my own.”

“Where have we run to?” Meng Jingzhou attempted to find landmarks, but unfortunately, the sea’s surface was empty, save for the drifting mass of mist.

“Wait a moment.” Xiao Xinghai dipped his head into the sea, then lifted it, wiping his face. “Below us is the territory of the Luoyu Tribe. They’re considered a subordinate race to our Kunpeng race. I’m rather familiar with them.”

Just as Xiao Xinghai was about to lead everyone underwater, several hundred-zhang-long kunpeng flew from the distance, shouting with elation.

“Young Lord, you came out safely!”

“Uncle Kun, Uncle Yue, what brings you here?” Xiao Xinghai recognized them as his father’s trusted aides and dropped his guard.

“His Excellency the Tribe Chieftain heard that you and the esteemed guests were swallowed by the Fata Morgana. He ordered the two of us to track it so we could monitor your movements.” These two Kunpeng Tribe elders dared not get too close to the Fata Morgana, observing closely from a distance all this time. “Come, let’s go back. The Tribe Chieftain was so worried that he went to block the Mirage-Clam Tribe’s door. If he learns that you all have returned safely, who knows how happy he would be.”

Originally, Uncle Kun and Uncle Yue intended to take out healing pills for Lu Yang and the others. But when they saw the various pills that Lu Yang’s group poured from their own bottles, they abandoned the thought. Those pills had pill marks and pill fragrance.

With everyone returning safely, Chieftain Xiao was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected them to leave the Fata Morgana, and with no one insane at that.

“It’s good as long as you’re back, good that you’re back.” Chieftain Xiao arranged accommodations for everyone, letting them rest well.

Deep into the night, Lu Yang emerged from his meditative state. More accurately, he was deep in cultivation when the Everlasting Immortal Fairy woke him by swishing her tail.

“Go go go! The remnant site hasn’t drifted far yet,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy said excitedly.

Although the Kunpeng Tribe didn’t need to sleep, they were accustomed to cultivating at night. Hence, not many were outside now—the perfect opportunity for covert action.

Lu Yang steered the Sword-Cleansing Pond, following the direction indicated by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. He flew out of the Kunpeng Tribe and soon found the aimlessly drifting mist.

Suddenly, Lu Yang broke free from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s bewitchment and realized the problem. “Wait, there are quite a few Fusion cultivators inside. Won’t I be courting death by entering?”

“Jeez, what are you saying? With this immortal present, how could I let anything happen to you? There were too many people around earlier, so some methods were inconvenient. I just need to release a wisp of immortal might, and those jiangshi definitely won’t dare to approach.”

“That’s good then.” Lu Yang once again succumbed to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy's beguilement.

He felt a comfortable power adhere to his body. Despite trying to sense it carefully, he couldn’t perceive anything.

After entering the remnant immortal battleground, under the protection of the immortal might, he indeed encountered none of the jiangshi controlled by a Dao Fruit along the way. If Lu Yang could see the surroundings clearly, he would have known it wasn’t because he didn’t encounter jiangshi, but that they fled in fright the moment they approached him.

“Is it daytime here?” After entering the immortal battleground, Lu Yang suddenly found his vision turning white. It was a white, hazy mist that seemed to repel even darkness.

“It’s perfectly normal. Although you can see this mist from the outside, this place is actually an isolated pocket dimension, far larger than the mist you see outside.

“Tsk, the battle was pretty fierce; they left nothing behind.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was slightly displeased. The Qilin Immortal and his opponent had fought so intensely that everything around them had turned to dust and nothingness. It is impossible now to determine where they were or what had sparked the battle.

“No, there’s something over there. Go deeper.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy commanded, and Lu Yang obediently went further in.

The deepest part was where the battle was the most intense, filled with Dao Fruit traces. Even Transcendent Tribulation cultivators wouldn’t dare approach or look directly here.

“Go right. Yes, it’s here.” Following the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s instruction, Lu Yang crouched and picked up a jade bracelet from the ground.

The bracelet’s texture was as fine and smooth as congealed lard, like a bright full moon, crystalline and translucent. It had the pattern of a vivid, lifelike dragon.

“This is a Dragon-Pattern Bracelet. It belongs to Little Ling.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was surprised. “Back then, the Qilin Immortal requested the Heaven Mandate Immortal to forge two immortal artifacts—one was the jade flute Lianyi often played, and the other was the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet Little Ling wore on her wrist.

It was precisely because it was an immortal artifact that it could survive the battle.

“Why is Little Ling’s thing here? This was her favorite item; she would only remove it when sleeping. I observed that the Qilin Immortal’s moves were mainly defensive. Could it be that the Ember Legacy Dynasty immortal wanted to eliminate Little Ling, and the Qilin Immortal fought him over this?” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy mumbled.

If so, everything makes sense.

Although Little Ling was the strongest half-immortal, she still couldn’t match a full immortal. If the Ember Legacy Dynasty immortal wanted to eliminate her, she would be hard-pressed to resist.

The Qilin Immortal arrived in time, battled the opponent, and destroyed everything.

During the battle, Little Ling’s Dragon-Pattern Bracelet was left here.

“Immortal Fairy, since Senior Ao Ling is also a half-immortal, in order to see you, she would certainly need to use the Play-Dead Technique to endure the long ages, right?

“Correct.”

“Then, do you think this could be the place where Senior Ao Ling was slumbering?” 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy jolted. “That’s right! It wasn’t that Little Ling was no match, but that the opponent tried to kill Little Ling while she was in slumber!”

Lu Yang suddenly recalled something the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord had mentioned. The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord had a friend who was killed by an immortal while in slumber because he knew of the Ember Legacy Dynasty’s existence.

How similar the methods are!

Lu Yang gingerly asked, “Immortal Fairy, do you think Senior Ao Ling could have...”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head, stating with conviction, “Impossible. The Dragon-Pattern Bracelet has the function of blocking immortal attacks. Even if Little Ling removed the bracelet, if she was attacked by an immortal, the bracelet could still automatically protect its master.

“Although the bracelet’s energy is now exhausted, the bracelet hasn’t shattered. This suggests that Little Ling did encounter danger, but the bracelet warded it off. The Qilin Immortal probably transferred Little Ling somewhere else.

“Originally, I could have tracked Little Ling’s location through the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet, but the Qilin Immortal severed the connection between the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet and Little Ling. The work was done cleanly, not by brute force. Only the Qilin Immortal and the Heaven Mandate Immortal, the creator of the bracelet, could achieve that. And since there are no traces of the Heaven Mandate Immortal battling here, it implies only the Qilin Immortal fought here.

“This shows that the Qilin Immortal didn’t want anyone to find Little Ling through the bracelet.”
