Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 870: Guan Shanhai’s Bizarre Methods

Unlike Wu Yao, who was single-mindedly focused on leaving the cultivation world for the external world, Guan Shanhai had poured an immeasurable amount of effort into establishing the Great Yu Dynasty.

Yet in the end, the Great Yu Dynasty was destroyed, and Wu Yao even personally sacrificed the dynasty to facilitate his departure from the cultivation world.

Ever since then, he and Wu Yao went their separate ways, never meeting again.

Although Wu Yao had left the cultivation world as he wished, Guan Shanhai had always harbored lingering resentment over the destruction of Great Yu.

When the Great Yu Dynasty fell, the Qilin Immortal had also made an appearance. However, Guan Shanhai was unclear about the role the Qilin Immortal played in its destruction. I must meet the Qilin Immortal and get a clear answer!

Previously, only Jin Caiwei was present, and he wasn’t certain of Jin Caiwei’s standing in the Qilin Immortal’s heart. Acting then would have alerted Jiang Ping’an, preventing him from seizing the national fortune.

But now, all three of the Qilin Immortal’s wives are here. I refuse to believe that the Qilin Immortal won’t show himself if the three of them are captured!

The right time, the right place, and the right people—all three are on my side.

“Since you are unwilling to tell me, you shall all remain here!”

Guan Shanhai shed his previous respectful demeanor, his expression turning cold like a sovereign wielding power over life and death, before whom everyone was but a straw dog. Although he was reluctant to offend the Heavenly Court, he absolutely needed to obtain information about the Qilin Immortal.

Jin Caiwei repeated her tactic, sending forth countless bone fragments compressed into planes. They blotted out the sky and covered the earth, leaving no room for evasion.

Guan Shanhai walked unhurriedly toward Jin Caiwei, allowing the bone fragments to strike him. The bone fragments that had sliced General Yu into pieces couldn’t inflict the slightest injury upon Guan Shanhai.

“If I am not mistaken, you wield a spatial type Incipient Dao Fruit that can eliminate the concept of ‘height.’ Compressing the bone fragments into planes is a clever idea. Unfortunately, you are unaware of the might of an immortal’s body.” 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Guan Shanhai didn’t even need to activate his Dao Fruit; his immortal body alone could block all the bone fragments.

An immortal was an existence on an entirely different level. Half-immortals, after all, hadn’t completed their metamorphosis and were still considered mortals. Those capable of harming an immortal with mortal means were exceedingly rare.

“Let’s capture one first.” Guan Shanhai approached Jin Caiwei. His steps appeared slow, but in reality, every step employed Close Horizon From Cliff. He loomed like a towering mountain, frightening Jin Caiwei so much that she didn’t dare to budge an inch.

“Dream on!” Ao Ling growled, transforming into a black true dragon. With her indestructible dragon horns, she rammed into Guan Shanhai, sending him flying.

“Interesting. Intelligence gathered from the East Sea mentioned that you could temporarily attain an immortal’s body. There is some substance to it.”

Ao Ling had prepared thoroughly. Before Lu Yang set out to deliver the immortal peach to the imperial palace, she had Jiang Lianyi beat her up, allowing her to rapidly elevate to an immortal’s body.

Now it seemed fortunate that she had prepared adequately.

Facing an immortal foe, the three women didn’t dare be negligent. All three revealed their true forms: a white qiongqi, a five-colored immortal phoenix, and a jet-black true dragon. The three immortal beasts were colossal, several times larger than the imperial city’s mountains. They blotted out the sky and sun, as if ancient legends had been reborn.

Sensing the oppressive pressure of the immortal beasts, the cultivator below in the imperial city trembled like chaff in a sieve, unable to stand steadily.

“Heh, do you think having an immortal’s body can protect the other two?” Guan Shanhai chuckled softly and retrieved a corpse that no one recognized from his storage ring. The only thing certain was that the deceased had been a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator.

The corpse had a middle-aged appearance. However, as Guan Shanhai placed his hand over the corpse’s face, its form gradually changed, transforming from a middle-aged man with only a few lines on his face into an elder with a face full of wrinkles.

Ao Ling furrowed her brows, unable to discern what Guan Shanhai was doing.

What no one expected was that the deeply wrinkled old man suddenly opened his eyes and awoke!

Before long, someone below recognized the identity of the wrinkled elder, their voice quivering. “He is...the Second Imperial Preceptor of Great Yu!”

Great Yu’s Second Imperial Preceptor was a pivotal figure who shaped the course of Great Yu’s history, and his portrait was widely circulated.

He was also once killed by the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“What kind of technique is this?!” Jin Caiwei was astonished. The deceased resurrecting? But the revived person doesn’t even look like he did when he was dead. It’s not even the same person.

“Shifu, where am I?” The Second Imperial Preceptor looked at Guan Shanhai with a bewildered expression, equally clueless about what had happened.

Guan Shanhai affectionately caressed his disciple’s head. He offered no further explanation, simply pointing at Jin Caiwei and Jiang Lianyi. “Go and capture those two. You may injure them, but you must keep them alive.”

“As you command!” Out of trust in his shifu, the Second Imperial Preceptor didn’t hesitate, vanishing before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone forgot his existence. Even Ao Ling and the other two were only warily watching Guan Shanhai, completely forgetting what had just transpired.

Suddenly, Jin Caiwei felt a heavy blow strike her back—a spirit blade was embedded in her back.

Only then did everyone remember the existence of the Second Imperial Preceptor and recall the earlier events.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi remembered what Lu Yang had once shared with them. Great Yu’s Second Imperial Preceptor possessed the Karma Incipient Dao Fruit, allowing him to erase his own karma. If not for encountering the Everlasting Immortal Bu Yaolian the last time, who happened to counter him, even other half-immortals would have found him difficult to deal with.

None of the three women had witnessed this move of Guan Shanhai’s. It was a Dao Fruit that hadn’t appeared even in the ancient era, including its incipient form!

Jiang Lianyi released a five-colored divine light, which enveloped Jin Caiwei to heal her injuries.

Guan Shanhai smiled as he looked at Ao Ling’s grave countenance. “Now, what will you do? And how long can your immortal body last?”

Ao Ling’s expression changed. Indeed, I can’t maintain my immortal body indefinitely. Guan Shanhai’s methods are bizarre and hard to counter. Even escaping is impossible. This is a deadlock.

Witnessing this scene from below, Lu Yang grew extremely anxious. He hastily shook the sleeping Everlasting Immortal Fairy awake.

“Immortal Fairy, wake up! Something big has happened!”

Within the mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy woke up from the broad, comfortable throne, grumbling twice before reluctantly rousing.

“What’s the matter, waking this immortal up? Has the boring play-acting ended?”

“The Xia Emperor is dead!”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy yawned widely, unsurprised by the news. “Then that just means the play-acting has ended.”

Lu Yang was taken aback.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh resonated across the skies above the imperial city. The sound seemed both near and far, elusive and unpredictable. Guan Shanhai was about to capture the three women when he stiffened abruptly.

“Fellow Daoist Guan, how is the refinement of the national fortune coming along?”

Guan Shanhai searched everywhere for the voice’s owner. He had heard this voice before, though he couldn’t immediately recall where. Seeming to sense something, his gaze traversed from the north of the imperial city to the south, where the Meng Estate was located.

Above the Meng Estate, a young man’s figure smiled as he looked at Guan Shanhai, even waving his hand as if greeting an old friend he hadn’t seen in ages.

Guan Shanhai’s memory was pulled back a hundred thousand years. At that time, it was a chaotic era after the fall of Great Yu. Two major factions rose to contend for supremacy—one whose surname was Jiang, and the other whose surname was Meng.

For the final battle for supremacy, the two abandoned an army-on-army confrontation and instead chose to determine the future emperor through a one-on-one duel.

In that battle, Jiang Ping’an became an immortal.

And the man surnamed Meng had also left a deep impression on Guan Shanhai.

“Meng Junzi!”
