Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 804: Advanced Nascent Soul Stage

The little herb kings had long been dissatisfied with Yun Zhi’s tyranny. Now that someone was finally willing to lead them in a crusade against her, they were naturally overjoyed.

Lu Yang felt that it was fortunate the Little Herb Kings were raised in the Dao-Seeking Sect’s herb garden, where the sect members harbored no ill intentions toward them. Otherwise, with their intelligence, who knows how many times they’d be hoodwinked in the outside world?

Even the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could trick them, which goes to show just how gullible they are.

“Big Sis, when are we going to fight Yun Zhi?” The Ginseng Doll was quite excited.

Having followed Lu Yang for so long, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had learned one or two percent of his crafty schemes. She waved her hand. “As the art of war says, ‘those hasty cannot eat hot tofu’—haste makes waste. We just fought Yun Zhi once. She’s surely on guard now. Acting immediately isn’t the best choice. We need to strike when she least expects it.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy enjoyed extremely high prestige among the Little Herb Kings. They would listen to whatever she said. If she told them to pick another time to challenge Yun Zhi, they would pick another time.

Watching the Everlasting Immortal Fairy play with the Little Herb Kings, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi whispered to each other.

“So this is the pure and innocent heart of a newborn; truly enviable.”

“This is where Everlasting-jiejie surpasses us.”

The Metamorphic Immortal Grass hadn’t yet adapted to the herb garden’s atmosphere, and neither was it very familiar with the Dao-Seeking Sect. It didn’t understand why the Little Herb Kings were so excited.

“Is this Yun Zhi you speak of really that difficult to deal with?”

The Ginseng Doll placed two root whiskers on its hips, finding the Metamorphic Immortal Grass arrogant. “If you can defeat the great devil Yun Zhi, we’ll let you be the big boss of this herb garden!”

The Metamorphic Immortal Grass sneered. Don’t look down on me just because of the beating I suffered earlier. I actually have a trump card. Not only can it boost one’s cultivation and increase the age of spirit plants, but I can also use this feature on myself to elevate my own age! This way, I can smoothly achieve human form and possess the strength of a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator right from the start!

The last spirit plant with such heaven-defying capabilities was called the Jianmu!

“It's a deal!”

The Metamorphic Immortal Grass charged furiously toward Heaven’s Gate Peak to challenge Yun Zhi and establish its authority in the garden.

“Hey, are you Yun Zhi? I’ve come to challenge you!”

Yun Zhi had invited Gan Tian over to drink tea and comprehend the Dao with her, also using this opportunity to clarify some questions regarding Gan Tian’s cultivation path.

A red clay stove warmed a pot where Wudao Enlightenment Tea leaves tumbled within. The fragrant aroma of fine tea wafted up. Just smelling it gave one a sense of enlightenment.

Hearing the Metamorphic Immortal Grass’s haughty tone, she pondered for a moment, then grabbed the Metamorphic Immortal Grass and stuffed it into the teapot, letting it steep alongside the Wudao Enlightenment Tea leaves.

Yun Zhi poured the tea. Its fragrance was richer than before. She pushed a red clay teacup toward Gan Tian. “Drink this. It can increase your cultivation.”

Ao Ling had stayed at the Dao-Seeking Sect for half a month. During this period, she not only studied the current division of factions but also visited Incarceration Peak, frightening both the prisoners and the child-like Grand-Shifu. She also met the Innate Daoist Priest, similarly scaring him out of his wits.

Lu Yang also accompanied Ao Ling to the scripture library, where she saw shelves lining the walls, full of cultivation manuals.

During their time at the scripture library, Lu Yang was quite nervous, worried that his shifu might have hidden a copy of Dragon Phoenix Transformation there. If Ao Ling found it, he would have no choice but to tearfully inherit the position of sect leader.

As the saying goes, “scourges live for a thousand years.” Ao Ling did not find Dragon Phoenix Transformation.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest was running a fortune-telling stall when he suddenly sneezed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

“Who’s thinking of me?”

He went over all the people he had provoked. It seems anyone could be thinking of me.

“Come to think of it, ever since Little Jin went home to visit family, my luck has improved quite a bit.”

Half a month later, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi left the Dao-Seeking Sect together. Lu Yang didn’t know whether Ao Ling wanted to see the outside world or intended to unify the East Sea and present it to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

After the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors departed, Lu Yang concentrated on his cultivation.

After their journey to the East Sea, he was fully cognizant of how low his cultivation was, and that he wasn’t qualified to participate in battles at the immortal level.

Lu Yang became incredibly obedient, spending most of his time on cultivation or sparring with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul.

After enduring one-sided beatings over time, Lu Yang’s combat techniques became increasingly refined. He could now exchange a couple of moves with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul before suffering a beating.

“Jiayou, Second-in-Command! Soon you’ll be able to defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy encouraged Lu Yang, disregarding facts and relying purely on feelings.

~~~

In a flash, over a year passed.

The cultivation world was calm and uneventful. No major incidents as eye-catching as the East Sea affair occurred again.

The only topic worthy of repeated discussion was the growing momentum for unifying the East Sea after the Dragon Ancient Ancestor’s revival. People speculated whether the Dragon Ancient Ancestor was acting under the Heavenly Court Creed’s directive to unify the East Sea in preparation for the Battle of the Great Era.

Ao Ling led the sea tribes, bringing Penglai Island under her control and cracking down severely on its rampant piracy problems.

The Dreamlike Bubble Mirages production, Gourd Dolls Wreak Havoc in the Sea, received widespread acclaim. The scenes where the Kunpeng Tribe was taught a lesson were repeatedly watched by the sea tribes.

At the same time, Gourd Dolls Wreak Havoc in the Sea played a role in promoting the East Sea. Great Xia cultivators noticed massive, underdeveloped areas of the East Sea hiding all sorts of valuable natural treasures, and the number of cultivators heading to the East Sea steadily increased.

Lu Yang didn’t pay much attention to the matters outside. He properly devoted himself to cultivation and didn’t leave the Dao-Seeking Sect. During his breaks from cultivation, he simply wandered around places he had yet to visit within the sect.

Fortunately, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord didn’t go looking for trouble with Lu Yang. Lu Yang hadn’t seen a trace of the Vast Sea Daoist Lord. According to his little junior brother Qi Tongtian, aside from guiding him in cultivation, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord would use the Space Incipient Dao Fruit to travel to the East Sea’s Dragon Palace.

Out of his obligation as a good sworn brother, Lu Yang instructed Qi Tongtian to inform Meng Jingzhou about this.

Currently, he was opening his mouth like a whale. Boundless spirit energy from the outside world surged into his body, once again expanding his meridians, which had already swelled to their limits. Lu Yang’s skin rapidly turned red, a sign that his meridians were on the verge of shattering.

He gritted his teeth. Although the pain made him want to writhe on the ground, he never cried out.

Boom!

As the swallowed spirit energy hit a critical threshold, it was as though a door had been opened. Lu Yang’s body underwent visible changes. His meridians became more resilient, capable of containing even more spirit energy.

“Whew... I have broken through.”

Lu Yang exhaled a turbid breath and stood up with a smile. I’ve finally broken through to the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage. With my remarkable Sword Spirit Root, cultivating until the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage is merely a matter of time; there are no bottlenecks.

“With my current methods, even an Advanced Divine Transfiguration cultivator can’t do anything to me.” Lu Yang was referring to conventional methods, excluding the Spirit Medium Technique and the Big Senior Sister Animal Form Fist.

“And Void Refinement cultivators don’t act recklessly. In other words, as long as I don’t encounter a Fusion cultivator, I can strut around the outside world without a care!”

Lu Yang cackled out loud. I’m now finally worthy to be called a “Nascent Soul old monster.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy yawned in the mental space. “But Second-in-Command, the enemies you encounter outside aren’t below the Fusion Stage, though.”

Lu Yang’s smile stiffened. That seems to be true.
