Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 806: The Research Is Well Done, Just That the Direction Is a Bit Off

Chapter 806: The Research Is Well Done, Just That the Direction Is a Bit Off

Lu Yang remarked inwardly, You Radiant Sun Creed folks really dare to imagine—installing an entire array around the sun.

Solar energy includes both light and heat. If your Radiant Sun Creed monopolizes solar energy, what will the Demon Region, the East Sea, and the Buddhist Kingdom use? Aren’t you afraid they’ll wipe you out?

And there’s also the Extreme North. Although the population is sparse, it doesn’t mean there are no cultivators. The Extreme North is cold to begin with, yet you still want to strip away their sunlight.

You are setting yourselves up to be the enemy of the whole world.

Moreover, this is such a massive project. Can your Radiant Sun Creed even handle it?

Hearing Lu Yang’s soft sigh, Creed Leader Chi grew tense. “Young Creed Leader Lu, is there a problem with our plan?”

“There are immortal-tier arrays on the sun that seal it off, preventing anyone from approaching. Do you know who created those immortal-level arrays?”

Creed Leader Chi shook his head. We've investigated for a long time, and countless colleagues have died without discovering the source of the immortal-level arrays.

Lu Yang lowered his voice, revealing a secret. “According to our Creed Leader’s investigations, those arrays were set up respectively by the founding Qian Emperor, the MidHeaven Emperor-Lord, and the founding Yu Emperor, Wu Yao. This is a contest between two immortals, separated by a hundred thousand years. It involves deeper matters that you should not learn of.

“If you set up another array around the sun, do you intend to get implicated in a conflict between immortals?”

In the past, when the Radiant Sun Creed dispatched people to the sun, the founding Qian Emperor paid no attention. However, if the Radiant Sun Creed truly set up a layer of array around the sun, it would be akin to a blatant provocation, a slap in the face. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

If the Radiant Sun Creed were eliminated by the founding Qian Emperor, so be it; Lu Yang didn’t care. After all, that would make one less diabolic creed.

What Lu Yang worried about was that the founding Qian Emperor would act without restraint, unleashing overly powerful moves that would harm the innocent. Judging from the Mountain-River Lord’s actions, I can’t exclude the possibility of his superior doing such a thing.

Creed Leader Chi was shocked, his back drenched in cold sweat. There are actually two types of immortal-level arrays on the sun! With the Radiant Sun Creed’s strength, if we get entangled in a conflict between immortals, even total annihilation without our corpses and bones remaining would be considered fortunate!

“Did you get any other results from your research?”

“Yes, yes, we did,” Creed Leader Chi hurriedly replied, continuing to rummage through his storage ring. As he searched, he said, “While researching how to set up arrays around the sun, we incidentally developed some by-products.”

Lu Yang thought, By-products should be fine.

Before he could clearly see what Creed Leader Chi had pulled out, his vision went black. The entire room was plunged into darkness, making Lu Yang suspect that Creed Leader Chi was trying to take advantage of the chaos to harm him.

The three creeds held their meeting at night, after the barbeque shop closed, and the hall was lit with lamps.

When Creed Leader Chi produced the research result, it was as if a sinister wind swept through, extinguishing all the lamps.

Fortunately, none among those attending the three diabolic creeds’ interim meeting were weaklings. All of them could use their spiritual consciousness and didn’t need light to see their surroundings.

“What’s the deal with this candle of yours?” With his spiritual consciousness, Lu Yang observed that Creed Leader Chi had taken out a large red candle. Once this candle appeared, all other candles in the room went out.

“This is a solar-powered candle. During the day, the candle absorbs solar energy, and at night, it can be lit.”

“Then why has this room suddenly turned dark?”

“This thing can absorb the surrounding light and heat. Once it absorbs all the light and heat, the surroundings naturally have no more light,” Creed Leader Chi explained matter-of-factly.

“...Isn’t the absorption efficiency of your candle a bit too high?”

And this is just a by-product of researching arrays for the sun. If you actually set up arrays around the sun, wouldn’t the cultivation world simultaneously plunge into an ice age and a dark age?

“Isn’t higher efficiency better?” Don’t they all say that the higher the efficiency, the better? Creed Leader Chi had expended considerable effort to achieve peak efficiency.

“You should lower it.”

“Alright then.”

“Old Chi, give our Nine-Netherworlds Creed a box of these candles with high solar absorption efficiency.” Mu Baiyi looked at the candle with keen interest.

This is good stuff! With candles like this, we wouldn’t have to worry about lacking the right ambience for future meetings.

Lu Yang couldn’t quite understand the Nine-Netherworlds Creed’s aesthetic tastes.

“Any other research results?”

“Yes. We also discovered we can use solar energy to boil water.”

Lu Yang nodded. Solar water heater. I’ve seen that. It works well.

Creed Leader Chi lit the candle, and the room was illuminated once more.

He produced a large wooden bucket, another one of their research results. It had already absorbed solar energy during the day. He filled it with water. Within a few breaths, the water in the bucket began bubbling vigorously. As usual, it was highly efficient.

Seeing this, Creed Leader Chi said excitedly, “We also discovered that the steam produced after boiling water contains immense power. Perhaps we could use steam to do something!

“But we’ve only conducted preliminary research in this area and haven’t achieved significant results yet.”

Lu Yang, “...”

This is the first time I’ve seen someone develop steam engines from solar energy.

“Stop researching steam. Focus on researching solar energy properly.”

“Any other research results?”

Creed Leader Chi scratched his head sheepishly. For over a year, they had mainly researched how to set up arrays around the sun. Unfortunately, Lu Yang had vetoed that. The solar candle and water heater were merely by-products.

“Although we don’t have other research results, after our two creeds collaborated, we discovered we could establish a new business.”

“What new business?”

This time, it was Mu Baiyi’s turn to elaborate. “You see, some places have water burial customs, right? They cast the corpses into rivers, lakes, or seas for fish to consume, signifying a return to nature.

“We can broaden our scope of thinking to cremation, casting the corpse onto the sun. According to the mortality statistics Old Chi provided, even a Fusion cultivator would be reduced to ashes on the sun.

“Don’t you think this principle is similar or even more thorough than that of water burial?

“Considering that a person’s soul doesn’t dissipate until seven days after death, we could schedule the cremation to be after the seventh day, preventing the soul from contacting the sun and directly melting.”

Clearly, Mu Baiyi had given this deep thought, even accounting for the folk custom of the first seven days after death.

“Young Creed Leader Lu, do you think this business is feasible?”

Lu Yang remained silent for a long while before slowly asking, “Putting aside other considerations, what would customers think about a barbeque shop operating a funeral service, and a cremation one at that?”

The two creed leaders contemplated. It does seem a bit off.

“Never mind. I can see that your two creeds have put great effort into cooperating and achieving a win-win situation. It’s just that your line of thinking has deviated slightly. Keep working hard!” Like a big brother, Lu Yang gave both creed leaders firm pats on the shoulder, his tone encouraging.

“If the candles and buckets can be mass-produced, they’ll likely be well-received.”

On the way back to the Dao-Seeking Sect, Lu Yang suddenly asked, “Elders, what are your views on the Radiant Sun Creed’s research results?”

Fifth Elder earnestly replied, “Suitable for joining our Artifact Refinement Peak.”
