Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 881: Zhu Tian: Why Are There More and More Immortals?

Chapter 881: Zhu Tian: Why Are There More and More Immortals?

Originally, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had been instructing the Innate Daoist Priest in cultivation, helping him smoothly break through from the Basic to the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage.

That was when a spatial gate opened right opposite the Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

And opposite the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was naturally the Innate Daoist Priest.

Hence, the moment the gate door opened, it directly teleported the Innate Daoist Priest over.

Sensing Yun Zhi on the other side, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord didn’t perceive any danger and didn’t interrupt the teleportation.

When the Innate Daoist Priest saw the bound Guan Shanhai, he nearly jumped out of his skin.

Previously, they captured an Imperial Preceptor from Great Yu, then killed the Second Imperial Preceptor, and now, it’s finally the First Imperial Preceptor’s turn?

If this had happened in the Great Yu era, even a ten-familial extermination wouldn’t have been enough.

Moments later, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord put one foot through the spatial gate. But upon hearing the Grand-Shifu’s words while clinging to the Innate Daoist Priest’s leg, he prepared to pull his foot back.

How could the Grand-Shifu let him have his way? With a tiger-like pounce, he grabbed the retreating leg and forcibly yanked the Vast Sea Daoist Lord out of the spatial gate.

“Founding Ancestor Vast Sea, you’ve finally come! Incarceration Peak cannot do without you—”

Seeing Guan Shanhai, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s eyelids twitched. Dang, half-immortals weren’t enough for you senior sister and junior brother to play with? This time, you went straight for an immortal?

Evidently, when Meng Junzi borrowed the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s Incipient Dao Fruit, he hadn’t mentioned what it was meant for.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord forcefully pried the Grand-Shifu’s hands away and said amiably, “Little Tang, I think you’re still the most suitable for Incarceration Peak. Although the difficulty has increased a little, it represents the sect’s trust in you, and it is also a trial for you.

“I’d already noticed you when you first entered the sect. I felt that your Dao Heart was firm and that you were destined for greatness. Indeed, as I foresaw, you reached the Transcendent Tribulation Stage in just two thousand years, becoming a renowned powerhouse of this era.

“I believe that once you undergo Incarceration Peak’s trial, you will undoubtedly rise a level higher, becoming a half-immortal powerhouse like me!”

The Grand-Shifu rolled his eyes, not buying the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s nonsense. I had come to Incarceration Peak for an easy life. Who would have imagined that being the Incarceration Peak’s warden would be more exhausting than being the sect leader?

“Founding Ancestor, you’ve been stuck at the Half-Immortal Stage without any progress, right? How about you spend more time with the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor? Surely that would increase your cultivation insights, and you may even become an immortal then.”

The two smiled at each other, both seeing the firm refusal in the other party’s eyes.

Guan Shanhai was also astonished by Incarceration Peak. He only knew that the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord had been captured by the Dao-Seeking Sect, but he hadn’t expected the long-missing Wu Youdao to be here too. His former rival, the Nightmare Supreme Lord, and the last half-immortal of Great Yu, the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord, were also here.

Some of the questions that had once plagued him were now answered. He just didn’t know where the long-vanished Second Imperial Preceptor had gone.

“Founding Ancestor, Grand-Shifu, you two chat slowly. I’ll go interrogate him first.” Yun Zhi dragged Guan Shanhai to the deepest room in Incarceration Peak.

The Innate Daoist Priest pestered Lu Yang, eager to know the details of capturing the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor.

“Actually, the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor’s capture had nothing to do with me...”

~~~

“What? A Great Yu half-immortal appeared in Yù Province, and the Old Ancestor Jiang Ping’an personally showed up to deal with the situation?!

“Three of the Heavenly Court’s Four Regents appeared in the imperial city, and they’re all the Qilin Immortal’s wives?

“An immortal battle erupted in the imperial city, with the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor Guan Shanhai and the Meng Family’s Old Ancestor Meng Junzi fighting a bloody battle across the skies?!

“Meng Junzi became an immortal long ago?!

“So the Meng Family is an immortal ancestral clan!

“The Great Yu Imperial Preceptor was no match for Meng Junzi and self-detonated above the imperial city, his fate unknown?

“The Xia Emperor died and came back to life, living a second life?!”

One bombshell news after another swept through the cultivation world. Any single one could have shocked the whole community, let alone this whole chain of revelations. The people were struck dazed, as if they had been thrust into the ancient Great Era of endless immortal battles.

Who could have imagined that Great Xia had immortals—and two of them?!

So what if the Demon Kingdom has an ancient half-immortal? We have immortals!

“Speaking of which, the Qilin Immortal actually has three wives? I thought there were only two.” Some envied the Qilin Immortal’s romantic peach blossom luck. Ao Ling and the other two women were all peerless beauties.

Others weren’t surprised, finding it perfectly normal. “It’s because you don’t understand. That is an immortal, a supreme being. What’s two or three wives? Perhaps the Qilin Immortal is like the Heaven Mandate Immortal, who likes beauties and has several wives.”

“In my opinion, the Qilin Immortal might have a secret relationship with some ancient beauty.”

“Great Yu truly can’t compare to our Great Xia. Their Imperial Preceptor can’t even beat someone who was defeated by Old Ancestor Jiang."

“I wonder if the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor is dead or alive. How dare he attack the imperial city? Self-detonation was too lenient for him!” 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

“By the way, how did His Majesty manage to live a second life?”

“Rumor has it that he seized the Heavenly Court’s World Natural Spiritual Root or something.”

“Such a miraculous treasure exists?”

~~~

In the Demon Region, Zhu Tian wore a miserable expression after receiving news from the imperial city.

“Wait, wasn’t it said that half-immortals would be unbeatable in the world? How are immortals popping up one after another?”

At this thought, Zhu Tian applied more force, planing the wood’s surface more vigorously.

When he was extremely bored, he would engage in some creative work.

He blew gently and scattered the wood shavings, revealing the object in his hand: a palm-sized circular platform with a notch.

Zhu Tian then picked up the wooden sculpture beside him that depicted himself dancing gracefully.

He inserted the carving onto the circular platform. Soothing music played from the platform, and the sculpture began rotating automatically.

Upon hearing that Jin Caiwei had emerged and caused a huge commotion in the imperial city, Chieftain Jin asked the Taciturn Daoist Priest for leave and returned to the Qiongqi Tribe.

“What? Our Qiongqi Tribe doesn’t have to repay debts anymore?” Chieftain Jin was exhilarated, feeling like he had gone from a pauper to a rich second-generation heir.

The Little Ancestor is truly amazing! It only took her a single trip to the imperial city to resolve the Qiongqi Tribe’s most intractable issue.

Receiving the flattery of Chieftain Jin and the Qiongqi Tribe’s Transcendent Tribulation cultivators, Jin Caiwei grew giddy with delight, her smile never fading from her face.

Standing aloft, she was full of vim as she commanded with authority, “Debts and such are trivial matters. Our Qiongqi Tribe’s goal has changed. We’re not contending for eleventh or twelfth anymore. We belong to the Heavenly Court now, and they are definitely the strongest faction in the Battle of the Great Era. We will be number one!”

Chieftain Jin was fired up by the Little Ancestor’s words and hurriedly offered a strategy. “Little Ancestor, I just learned a money-making method from Big Brother Taciturn. Our Qiongqi Tribe can ride this momentum to rise.”

“Oh? What method is it?”

“Hoarding rare goods! In other words, we stockpile something very important, and when its price in the outside world is driven up, we can sell it off—and just like that, we’ll make money!”

Jin Caiwei pondered over it and found it a good method. Why hadn’t I thought of it before? It seems Little Jin has really learned some real skills from the Taciturn Daoist Priest.

“So what should we hoard?”

“Candles.”
