Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 889 - 888: Are You Sure That Was the Heart Devil Tribulation?

"Immortal, you have finally come back to life," Yingtian Immortal said, with a natural imperial aura that lent an authoritativeness to his words, yet also a sense of the ethereal, like a deity stepping out of a tale.

Yingtian Immortal looked at Fairy Eternity, his thoughts a multitude: "As history cycles and time shifts, how many dynasties have risen and fallen, reduced to rubble and gravel?"

"The departed cannot be pursued, and bygone times cannot be shaped anew. How many have witnessed with their own eyes the great era when geniuses rose together, and dragons and serpents emerged from the lands? How many remember the age when the Five Immortals ruled the world, setting order under heaven?"

"Having foreseen your future through the vestiges of history, I knew this day would come, and here I have waited for your return, Immortal."

"Fellow Daoist, it has been a long time. Have you been well?"

Yingtian Immortal seemed to walk from the very end of the river of history, his presence exuding a profound sense of it.

His eyes were deep, as if piercing through all matters of the world, no secret could hide before him, and all changes were within his expectations.

Even the Qilin Immortal had not given Lu Yang such a feeling.

He wore a robe and boots, both white, and stood with his hands behind his back; he stepped forward, then with a clang, he bumped into the Spatial Barrier, his head tilting back abruptly.

"No, how is this kid’s Spiritual Space so sturdy?"

Yingtian Immortal stood outside Lu Yang’s Spiritual Space, tapping on the barrier in front of him, producing a dull thud.

He had intended to pass through the barrier into Lu Yang’s Spiritual Space.

But who would have thought this kid’s Spatial Barrier would be excessively robust? He couldn’t break through.

Why does every encounter with the Immortal lead to accidents?

Yingtian Immortal awkwardly patted the barrier, calling out loudly, "So, can you two let me in?"

Lu Yang himself was unaware that his Spiritual Space was so robust; he wasn’t sure if it was reinforced by Fairy Eternity or Eldest Senior Sister.

Lu Yang cracked open a gap, and Yingtian Immortal hurriedly squeezed in.

He cleared his throat twice; he had wanted to keep up appearances, but having been blocked outside already, trying to regain an imposing demeanor now seemed somewhat late.

"Are you sending out a thread of your divine thoughts, hidden within the Heavenly Tribulation?" Fairy Eternity disclosed that the Yingtian Immortal in front of them was not his true body, but rather a divine thought left behind countless years ago.

"Indeed."

Fairy Eternity’s eyes narrowed slightly, her demeanor slightly hostile: "In that case, are you admitting that you arranged the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation?"

Seeing Fairy Eternity’s displeasure about the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation, Yingtian Immortal hurried to explain, "It’s true I arranged it, but that Thunder Tribulation wasn’t lethal, really, Immortal, believe me."

"Really?"

"Truly, truly."

Seeing Fairy Eternity still appeared skeptical, Yingtian Immortal sighed, feeling obliged to further explain:

"Initially, the historical reflections revealed the silhouette of this young friend. It must have been him who called out your name, resurrecting you."

"And none of us were beside you, which shouldn’t have been the case. It suggests, Immortal, that you did not encounter any of us."

"Had you found any one of us, we would have accompanied you to view the chessboard of history, instead of you going alone."

"Therefore, I deduced that something must have happened to us at that time, preventing us from contacting you."

"This led me to leave a thread of divine thought within the Heavenly Tribulation, as a precaution."

At this point, Yingtian Immortal hesitated before asking, "Er, before I proceed, let me first inquire, Immortal, have you met my true body?"

"I have not."

"That’s good."

If he’d seen my original form, then wouldn’t my 400,000 years in the Heavenly Tribulation have been in vain? How embarrassing would that be if it got out?

"At the time, you must have possessed this young friend’s spiritual space, and you surely taught him how to condense the Invincible Elixir, which allowed these young friends to have an Invincible Nascent Soul during their Nascent Soul Stage."

"That’s why I arranged the Supreme Haotian Golden Que Thunder. When the Heavenly Tribulation detects someone undergoing the tribulation with an Invincible Nascent Soul, this Thunder Tribulation will descend."

"However, just this method of detection isn’t appropriate because the one undergoing tribulation might use other methods to get through the Thunder Tribulation, or perhaps they condensed their Invincible Elixir on their own."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang carefully recalled the past, and it seemed that his Invincible Elixir indeed had nothing to do with Fairy Eternity; he first condensed the Invincible Elixir by himself before Fairy Eternity told him it was called the Invincible Elixir.

What Fairy Eternity did was just save him the trouble of figuring out how to use the Invincible Elixir by directly telling him how to use it.

"And then, I arranged the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation, which is absolutely impossible for those in the Nascent Soul Stage to pass through. Should you, Immortal, reveal yourself, the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation would automatically dissipate."

Yingtian Immortal, grinding his teeth, looked at Lu Yang and said, "Who would have thought? The lad actually managed to get through the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation without relying on you!"

He was merely a lingering thought left behind by Ying Tian Immortal’s original form, which after 400,000 years, had mostly depleted its power. His control over the Heavenly Tribulation was limited; otherwise, he would have already caused the Qian Heaven Thunder to strike.

The only strength he had left was barely enough to meet Fairy Eternity once; he had to use it wisely.

"Fortunately, when one transitions from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage, they still have to face the Heart Devil Tribulation. If this lad recognizes you, Immortal, you’ll definitely become his inner demon."

"Sure enough, you appeared in his Heart Devil Tribulation. That’s when I was certain you were inside this lad’s body."

Lu Yang listened in complete astonishment, "Are you sure that was my inner demon?"

An inner demon is either something that instills fear or something one is willing to sink into helplessly.

Lu Yang felt that including Eldest Senior Sister and Fairy Eternity in his harem didn’t fit with either of those possibilities.

"Of course, it was your inner demon," Ying Tian Immortal said calmly. "If you think back to the scene of the Heart Devil Tribulation, don’t you feel afraid?"

When Lu Yang thought of his memories possibly being noticed by Eldest Senior Sister, he shuddered in fear.

Turns out this Heart Devil Tribulation isn’t about recalling scenes that I’m afraid of but creating scenes that make me afraid!

Who has ever heard of a Heart Devil Tribulation like this!

Fairy Eternity sensed something was off, "Little Yang, you encountered me in your Heart Devil Tribulation, and it made you feel afraid. What happened during your tribulation?"

Dare Lu Yang say that he had enjoyed the favor of both Eldest Senior Sister and Fairy Eternity, embracing them left and right? He would have to be tired of living to divulge that.

He spoke tearfully, "In my Heart Devil Tribulation, Fairy, you changed completely, kept hitting me, and it felt so strange."

"But I saw you grinning foolishly the whole time?"

"You don’t understand, Fairy. That was a forced smile, meant to keep you from worrying about me outside."

Seeing how pitiful Little Yang was, Fairy Eternity lovingly stroked Lu Yang’s head, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s okay. How could I ever beat you?"

As Lu Yang kept crying, sobbing deeply, and seemed inconsolable, Fairy Eternity made a determined decision, ready to give up her original successor:

"How about this, from now on, let Miss Yun be the third Bean Emperor, and you can be the second."

This so frightened Lu Yang that he stopped crying immediately. How come his crying seemed to bring him closer and closer to realizing his inner demon?

Yingtian Immortal: "..."

No, Immortal, why does this feel so strange?
