Who Let Him Cultivate?!

It’s quite common to artificially create a grandiose presence at a nation’s founding ceremony—be it Great Qian, Great Yu or even Great Xia had made no small stir during their own founding ceremonies.

If one were to trace the source, it could be traced back to Immortal Jiuchong’s ascension to immortality.

Therefore, neither Yun Zhi nor Jiang Pingan paid too much attention to the founding ceremony.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yao chose to use the founding ceremony as an opportunity to pass his immortal tribulation and ascend to immortality.

Originally, Nightmare Supreme, relying on his status as a semi-immortal, believed that even if he were defeated by Wu Yao and the Imperial Teacher by chance, so what? He still had the chance to make a comeback.

But he never considered that Wu Yao might have become an immortal.

The mere possibility of Wu Yao becoming an immortal was enough to make him beat a hasty retreat, not even daring to probe.

If he probed, he would give Wu Yao the opportunity to capture him in return, which would be a loss not worth the risk.

Better to slumber in the shadows, collecting different dreams from various eras, and ultimately ascend to immortality himself.

Unfortunately, he perished mid-journey, becoming a prisoner, unable to even preserve his own body.

"Wu Yao has become an immortal?"

Eldest Senior Sister was somewhat puzzled; if this were true, it would lead to another question:

Semi-immortals slumbering until now before awakening implies that their lifespans are not sufficient, but an immortal’s lifespan is infinite, with no need to slumber.

If Wu Yao had become an immortal, why would he watch idly as Great Yu fell, replaced by Great Xia?

You should know that in the last days of Great Yu, the strongest was Void Venerate who was locked up next door. Not even an immortal was present, and Wu Yao, with absolute power, could definitely have extended the lifespan of the Great Yu Dynasty.

But he didn’t, why?

Not taking action under such circumstances must indicate he had some scheme, it’s just that for the moment, Wu Yao’s purpose is unknown.

An immortal lurking in the shadows is bad news for Great Xia—the two semi-immortals present were capable of throwing Great Xia into utter chaos, let alone an immortal.

"What Dao Fruit does Wu Yao possess?"

Since they considered Wu Yao an enemy hidden in darkness, it was essential to know the enemy to make further plans.

"I’m not clear on what Dao Fruit it is, but I do know the outline of his Dao Fruit," said Nightmare Supreme truthfully.

"Let’s hear it."

"His Dao Fruit outline is known as the Exchange Dao Fruit Outline; it can be understood as equivalent exchange or sacrifice. One can obtain concrete things through exchange, such as magic artifacts, spiritual plants, or a single powerful attack, as well as intangibles, such as fate or causality. It’s very complex to use."

"Once it becomes a full Dao Fruit, I don’t know to what extent he can utilize it."

"What moves does Wu Yao have?"

"He knows many tricks; flashy ones. Even when he enters into dreams, he can rely on those moves to fight several bouts with me. For instance, there’s the Mystical Six-A Technique, which can command ghosts and spirits, perform exorcisms and divination of the past, present, and future."

"Like the Erect Shadowless technique, which allows him to enter an ethereal state, rendering all attacks ineffective, its efficacy comparable to a fully-realized Pure Immortal Body."

"He also has the Six Divine Abilities of Buddhism—I remember him displaying the Heavenly Eye Technique, Heavenly Ear Technique, and Divine Foot. I don’t know whether he has mastered the remaining three."

"Oh right, he can also employ the Eradication Immortal Sword Array. Once activated, every being within the bounds of the sword array becomes involuntarily submissive to its power. I accidentally fell for this trick myself—it’s extremely formidable."

"It’s said that this sword array is inspired by the techniques of ancient immortals, with an astonishingly great origin."

Eldest Senior Sister: "..."

...

Outside, the battle that took place in Chunjiang City was spreading through the Cultivation World at a terrifying speed.

The disappearance and reappearance of Chunjiang City were undeniable facts.

The emergence and clash of two ancient supremes terrified anyone who heard of it.

The powerful ancients recorded in history appeared alive before their very eyes, as if time had flowed backward, causing a sense of confusion and attracting much attention.

Moreover, the most mysterious Sect Leader Yun of the Heavenly Court Sect finally made a move, facing two adversaries alone and exhibiting power beyond that of a Semi-Immortal!

Sect Leader Yun is actually an Immortal!

Although due to the characteristics of immortals, everyone couldn’t remember the details of the battle, the memory of her introducing herself and defeating the two ancient supremes was preserved.

In every street and alley, teahouses and winehouses, those with a bit of cultivation level were discussing this matter.

The Qin Heart Winehouse was the largest winehouse in several nearby cities, with a Nascent Soul Stage Spirit Chef in charge, whose signature dish "Qingfeng Ballad" was so delicious that its aroma wafted for ten miles.

Usually, as soon as the food arrived at the table, the diners would be eager to taste it with their chopsticks.

But today, after the food was served, the cultivators at the table were still fervently discussing the matters of Chunjiang City.

"Have you heard about what happened in Chunjiang City? Something big happened!"

"Who doesn’t know about Chunjiang City, where two Semi-Immortals clashed? Someone consulted ancient texts and confirmed that those two were none other than Nightmare Supreme and Void Venerate!"

Cultivators who were unaware of the situation gasped in shock upon hearing these names, not even paying attention to the food that had been placed before them: "My God, is that Nightmare Supreme the one who annihilated the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"Is Void Venerate the one who fought with our ancestors for supremacy over the world?"

"Yes, those two. They shifted Chunjiang City to another space and then, for some unknown reason, started fighting. Even the seasoned Transcendance Tribulation Stage One Qi Venerable of the Control Qi Sect was no match for them!"

"So who won between them?"

The storyteller smiled and shook his head, refusing to continue: "Loan me your magic artifact for a couple of days."

The listener, eager and impatient, didn’t want to lend the magic artifact but also wanted to hear the rest of the story. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I’ll lend it!"

"Neither of them won."

"How is that possible?"

"Why wouldn’t it be possible, the Heavenly Court Sect has intervened."

"Was it Heavenly Venerate Dou? The only one who could stop the fight between two supremes, suspected to be an Immortal, must be Heavenly Venerate Dou, right?"

This time, the storyteller cultivator didn’t keep them in suspense: "It was Sect Leader Yun of the Heavenly Court Sect. Although the details of the battle haven’t been revealed, what’s certain is that Sect Leader Yun captured both supremes!"

The cultivators at the dining table were so shocked by this news that they were at a loss for words: "How, how could this be possible, unless Sect Leader Yun is, is..."

"An Immortal!" another companion said.

"Doesn’t that mean the Heavenly Court Sect has two Immortals?"

A cultivator swallowed hard: "Gosh, no wonder they’re an ancient major power, they reveal two Immortals at once."

"Exactly, now people are saying that the Heavenly Court Sect is the current number one power."

In a corner, three guests were leisurely enjoying their signature dish "Qingfeng Ballad," seemingly oblivious to the discussion around them.

"Elder, are you still satisfied with your meal?" Daoist Buyu asked cautiously, while Gold Clan Leader looked at Jiang Lianyi, full of expectation.

Jiang Lianyi wiped her lips and commented indifferently: "Mediocre, not as good as what I can make."

Daoist Buyu complained inwardly; ever since Jiang Lianyi had beaten them up, she had been following them around, and they neither dared to ditch her nor send her away.

Their fraudulent business had not been in operation for a long time.

Among the three, only Gold Clan Leader was shocked by the fact that "Sect Leader Yun is an Immortal," but Jiang Lianyi didn’t care, and he didn’t dare to appear overly concerned either.

Jiang Lianyi, who had fought Yun Zhi to a standstill, certainly knew Yun Zhi’s cultivation level.

"It’s a pity, if I had followed Elder Brother Lu Yang at that time, I would have had the chance to confront a future Semi-Immortal."
