Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 918: Luring the Tiger to Devour the Wolf

“Ember Legacy Dynasty?” The Heaven Mandate Immortal furrowed his brows. I’ve never heard of this dynasty.

Lu Yang narrated unhurriedly, “In the ancient epoch, the Four Ancient Immortals refined the stars into continents. Afterward, with supreme immortal might, they coalesced the power of faith and established the Ember Legacy Dynasty. Its indisputable strength far surpassed later dynasties like Great Qian, Great Yu, and Great Xia.

“The Ember Legacy Dynasty also had two great organizations: the Heavenly Court governing the yang world of the living and the Underworld governing the yin world of the dead.

“The Heavenly Court was omnipotent and ruled the world. Be it immortals or mortals, and regardless of cultivation, all had to abide by its heavenly laws and immortal regulations.

“The Heavenly Court’s ruler was not one of the Four Ancient Immortals. She was a peerless female immortal who had perished in the ancient era. Through overcoming trials of reincarnation, she defied the great laws of life and death, condensed a supreme immortal body through faith power, came back to life, and returned as the Heavenly Court Ruler with overwhelming momentum.”

“A Heavenly Court Ruler who came back to life? Interesting.” The Heaven Mandate Immortal smiled, contemplating the hidden clues within Lu Yang’s tale to figure out where exactly the Heaven Mandate Immortal’s legacy was.

Could it be hinting that the legacy is at a place where yin and yang intersect? What places nowadays are related to yin and yang?

Lu Yang continued, “The Heavenly Court Ruler wielded power capable of annihilating the world and reducing all things to one. Even the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others had to bow in submission, conceding they were inferior.

“...One day, the Heavenly Court Ruler suddenly went mad and wanted to destroy the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

“The Four Ancient Immortals and the Left Historian Immortal, who attained immortality during the Ember Legacy Dynasty, intervened to stop her. Yet no one anticipated the Epoch Immortal’s sudden death, and the perpetrator remained unknown.

“The remaining four immortals ceased cooperating and fought separately, yet none was a match for the Heavenly Court Ruler. Even the Qilin Immortal was gravely wounded after battling the Heavenly Court Ruler to protect the Dragon Ancient Ancestor.

“The Heaven Mandate Immortal battled the Heavenly Court Ruler...” Lu Yang paused here.

“What was the battle’s outcome?!” the Heaven Mandate Immortal asked urgently, sensing this might be key to the legacy’s location.

“Indeed, what was the outcome?” Lu Yang smiled, deliberately returning the question.

Only he could hear the Everlasting Immortal Fairy shouting in his ear. “Xiao Yangzi, help is here!”

Seeing Lu Yang deliberately keeping him in suspense, the Heaven Mandate Immortal felt belittled. Just as he was about to act, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly gripped him.

He jerked his head upward. A pitch-black pillar of light descended from the heavens, carrying a destructive force that seemed capable of annihilating the world, piercing directly through the Cosmos Cover.

After piercing the Cosmos Cover, the black light pillar showed no sign of slowing and plummeted straight down.

And directly beneath it was the Heaven Mandate Immortal and Lu Yang!

A wide smile gradually spread across Lu Yang’s visage as he looked disdainfully at the Heaven Mandate Immortal and murmured softly, “Goodbye, fool.”

In a fury, the Heaven Mandate Immortal wished to kill Lu Yang, but he had no time to spare. The cataclysmic strike above came too suddenly, and he must defend with all his might!

“Xiao Yangzi, come in!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pulled Lu Yang into the Qingfeng Sword’s small world.

Boom!

The black light pillar descended, obliterating everything. Wherever it passed, all things perished, turning to nothingness. It slammed right into the Heaven Mandate Immortal, driving him deep underground through thousands of li, creating a bottomless pit!

A golden helmet materialized above the Heaven Mandate Immortal’s head, but it was pierced, its edges charred black. Terrifying Silent Annihilation power spread, corroding the golden helmet.

In the blink of an eye, the golden helmet dissolved into nothing and vanished.

No one had expected this turn of events. They didn’t know where this terrifying assault came from and why it targeted the Heaven Mandate Immortal.

“Could Lu Yang survive such an attack?” a sword cultivator mumbled.

Everyone fell silent. Such an attack would likely kill even Transcendent Tribulation cultivators, much less Lu Yang, a mere Divine Transfiguration cultivator.

The Heaven Mandate Immortal panted as he flew out from the pit. His eyes were wide with rage as he glared upward and demanded, “Who are you?!”

Above the Cosmos Cover, a figure shrouded in gray mist appeared, their features indistinguishable. The voice was cold and heartless, like the lofty heavens casually deciding mortals’ fates.

“Those who know my identity shall die.”

The incensed Heaven Mandate Immortal was taken aback. Who are you? When did I know you? If I know who you are, why would I have asked?

A series of questions surfaced in his mind, though none were answered.

“Well, well, well, you think one sneak attack makes you impressive? You’re courting death!” Shock and anger surged through him—shock that only the sudden summoning of the golden helmet had saved him from death, and anger at her unreasonable, unprovoked assault.

“Hundred-Refinement Hegemon Halberd!

“Sky-Reaching Chainmail!

“Soul-Shattering Immortal Spear!”

One by one, the Heaven Mandate Immortal produced immortal artifacts. As he lacked a Dao Fruit, he compensated with the quantity of immortal artifacts. I had prepared these to deal with the original Heaven Mandate Immortal. Now, I’ll use them against this haughty gray-mist immortal!

Watching him wrap himself tightly, Hui Doudou revealed a mocking smile. “Foolish. Laughable.”

Although I don’t know how this Heaven Mandate Immortal is related to the real Heaven Mandate Immortal, it doesn’t matter. All who know of my existence must die.

As for that little fellow who had informed me, I wonder where he’s hiding. I can’t detect him at all. Strange.

“Lu Yang!” The crowd of sword cultivators and Yun Mengmeng anxiously went to search for him.

Hiding within the Qingfeng Sword’s small world, Lu Yang exhaled a sigh of relief, collapsing onto the ground and panting from fatigue. Observing Hui Doudou overpower the Heaven Mandate Immortal outside, he revealed a relieved smile.

“She’s finally here. As I thought, she can’t find this place.”

Recalling how Hui Doudou had targeted him and Ao Ling, Lu Yang could roughly figure out the pattern behind Hui Doudou’s pursuit.

Back then, he and Ao Ling had stayed in the Dragon Pearl for days, yet Hui Doudou didn’t make a move. Only shortly after their departure did she appear.

This implies that small worlds can block her perception.

And my Qingfeng Sword possesses a small world.

“Thank goodness for the Qingfeng Sword.”

If it weren’t for the Qingfeng Sword, I couldn’t have survived that terrifying gray light beam. If I’m still outside, Hui Doudou might casually kill me with just a flick of her finger anytime during the battle.

The truth was that he knew nothing of the legacy’s location. If he did, he would have gone there long ago.

Lu Yang had simply sought a pretext for the Heaven Mandate Immortal to listen to Hui Doudou’s story patiently. After all, it would take time for Hui Doudou to arrive. Not only did he have to inform him of Hui Doudou’s matters, but he also needed to stall him as much as possible.

He had used the legacy’s location as bait because he was convinced that this Heaven Mandate Immortal would desperately look for the real Heaven Mandate Immortal. Only by finding the real Heaven Mandate Immortal and killing him could this Heaven Mandate Immortal obtain the Tribulation Mandate Dao Fruit.

Given that Hui Doudou would kill everyone who knew of her, Lu Yang had ensured that no one would overhear his conversation with the Heaven Mandate Immortal.

You can do it, Heaven Mandate Immortal. You’ve got to hold out a little longer. Lu Yang silently prayed for him.
