Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 805: The Radiant Sun Creed’s Research Results

The exhilaration Lu Yang just felt from reaching the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage was thoroughly doused by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s bucket of cold water.

Seeing this, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy hurriedly comforted him. “Aiya, reaching the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage is already impressive. Think about it, you don’t encounter Fusion Stage enemies every single time you go out.”

Lu Yang recalled the enemies he had faced: the Yu Emperor Wu Youdao, the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord, the Nightmare Supreme Lord, Hui Doudou... Indeed, none were at the Fusion Stage.

Just as Lu Yang reminisced about his past battle achievements, he suddenly felt a token at the front of his chest grow warm. He pulled out and saw it was the Radiant Sun Creed contacting him.

The token's message stated that the Radiant Sun Creed had recently achieved some results in their solar energy research and hoped that Young Creed Leader Lu would grace them with a visit to guide them. The location would be the same as before—the barbeque shop headquarters at Yanjiang Commandery. It also mentioned presenting the barbeque shop’s annual dividends to the Heavenly Court Creed.

Lu Yang had nothing better to do, so he agreed. Holy Son Long Jingzhou is still in seclusion, with no indication of when he will emerge. Such a minor matter doesn’t warrant troubling Big Senior Sister.

He informed several Heavenly King protectors of the matter, and they all readily agreed.

The Heavenly Court Creed set out in grand style.

~~~

At the barbeque shop headquarters, Creed Leader Chi of the Radiant Sun Creed and Mu Baiyi of the Nine-Netherworlds Creed were both nervous. It seemed less like welcoming colleagues and more like receiving their superiors for an inspection.

The two creed leaders’ fear was understandable. The impact of the immortal battle in the East Sea was enormous. It demonstrated that there were gradations of strength even among immortals, and Creed Leader Yun’s power surpassed the other immortal’s.

Furthermore, with Ao Ling displaying her might in the East Sea, Dou Heavenly Sovereign’s fame spread far and wide.

Every one of these events pointed to one fact—the Heavenly Court Creed was the world’s number one faction.

“Haha, it’s been a while, creed leaders,” Lu Yang greeted them jovially.

Seeing neither Creed Leader Yun, Dou Heavenly Sovereign, nor the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors, both Creed Leader Chi and Mu Baiyi quietly exhaled a sigh of relief, their psychological pressure easing significantly.

But facing Young Creed Leader Lu, the Heavenly Court Creed’s successor, they still dared not be careless.

Young Creed Leader Lu took his seat, and the five Heavenly King protectors stood behind him with cold, aloof expressions, while the two creed leaders personally bent to pour tea.

“Young Creed Leader, this is the barbeque business’ revenue over the past year, along with the income and expenditure ledgers.” Mu Baiyi cautiously pushed a storage ring toward Lu Yang. The spirit stones stored within were as vast as the ocean. Giving away so many spirit stones pained Mu Baiyi’s heart.

Lu Yang gave a meaningful look. Fifth Elder, the Myriad Treasures Heavenly King, accepted the storage ring and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness before bowing respectfully to report to Lu Yang. “Young Creed Leader, everything checks out.”

Lu Yang yawned with boredom. “Keep it then.”

Mu Baiyi sighed inwardly. As expected of the Heavenly Court Creed. They don’t even care about this paltry sum of money and don’t even ask how many spirit stones are in the storage ring.

“Creed Leader Mu, I believe you sought me out not just for a trifling matter like spirit stones, right?” Lu Yang took a sip of tea and smiled, as if he had seen through Mu Baiyi’s thoughts.

Mu Baiyi smiled obsequiously. “Young Creed Leader, you have clear discernment. Actually, there’s a matter I don’t understand. Please enlighten me.”

“What is it?”

Mu Baiyi deliberated over his choice of words, observing Lu Yang’s reaction as he spoke, fearing he might touch upon some taboo. “I heard your esteemed creed’s Ancient Ancestor Ao Ling once said this at the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet. ‘The world no longer knows of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld.’ I wonder what exactly this ‘Underworld’ is...”

Lu Yang had already anticipated this question from Mu Baiyi. A hint of a smile flickered in his eyes. “What, have you forgotten my words? I told you long ago that the affinity between our Heavenly Court Creed and your Nine-Netherworlds Creed originates from ancient times.”

Hearing this, Mu Baiyi’s heartbeat slowed for a few beats, his face unable to conceal his excitement. “Then this Underworld is indeed...”

“The place that governed the netherworld and the cycle of reincarnation in ancient times. After all living things between heaven and earth died, their souls would enter the Underworld to go through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”

Lu Yang wasn’t lying to Mu Baiyi. This was what Ao Ling had told him.

Mu Baiyi and even Creed Leader Chi, who had always been at odds with the Nine-Netherworlds Creed, widened their eyes.

They weren’t the only ones who had noticed Ao Ling mentioning the “Underworld.” Many in the cultivation world were speculating about its meaning. But no one could clearly explain what the Netherworld actually was.

Now, they had finally received confirmation from Young Creed Leader Lu that the Underworld was the ancient Nine Netherworlds!

The five Heavenly King protectors were also hearing this explanation for the first time, but knowing Lu Yang was lying, they didn’t have such dramatic reactions.

Mu Baiyi’s face flushed with excitement. Fortunately, the Heavenly Court cherishes old ties; otherwise, such a good assignment as the barbeque shop business wouldn’t have fallen to our Nine-Netherworlds Creed.

And Young Creed Leader Lu once said that to display our capabilities in the Battle of the Great Era, the Nine-Netherworlds Creed must proceed step by step, “allying externally with the Demon Region and the East Sea!”

Now, with the Dragon Tribe unifying the East Sea, his words will be realized soon! In fact, they’re gradually coming to pass!

Is it divine foresight or premeditated planning?

Whichever it is, it’s enough to showcase how terrifying Young Creed Leader Lu is!

“Creed Leader Chi, let me see what your creed has been researching,” Lu Yang said with keen interest.

Taking over a year to produce results wasn’t considered slow progress. Things like solar lamps and solar water heaters were completely unprecedented in the cultivation world. The Radiant Sun Creed not only had to develop them but also reduce costs for widespread adoption among the populace. These were all challenges.

Under Lu Yang’s expectant gaze, Creed Leader Chi took out a scroll from his storage ring.

The scroll was unfurled, revealing a painting of a sun and several panels of unknown material. Considering the sun’s size, the area of these panels was terrifyingly massive.

The panels were engraved with numerous complex arrays. Lu Yang was not well-versed in arrays and had no idea what they were for.

Grandpa Ba, the Hundred Herbs Heavenly King, was proficient in arrays. He discerned something and let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

“Creed Leader Chi, this is...” Lu Yang saw no need to pretend he understood. The array’s complexity was probably something only a Fusion cultivator would figure out.

Posed with a question regarding his area of expertise, Creed Leader Chi grew excited. “Young Creed Leader Lu, after you spoke to me about solar energy, our entire creed was greatly shaken. Everyone has been researching how to harness solar energy fully.

“But halfway through the research, we discovered a problem. The continent has six sides, and our Central Continent is just one side. That is to say, no matter how we fully utilize solar energy, we can only harness one-sixth of it. The remaining five-sixths are wasted.”

“So?” Lu Yang vaguely guessed what was depicted on the scroll.

“So we planned to assemble an array on the sun’s surface that is capable of absorbing solar energy. Ideally, it should envelop the sun, such that no solar energy is wasted. Then, we’ll transmit the solar energy collected by the array down here.

“It’s just that researching this array was rather challenging. Fortunately, the entire sect worked as one and finally overcame the technical barriers.

“The array on the scroll is the result of our research.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Aren’t you all taking a bit too big a step?
