Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Fairy Eternity recognized Jin Caiwei at the same time as Jin Caiwei recognized Lu Yang.

Ever since the last time the Gold Clan Leader returned to the clan and proposed an alliance with the Seek Dao Sect for their Qiongqi Clan, she had been pondering the issue.

The Seek Dao Sect did indeed qualify for cooperation with them due to having the Semi-Immortal Vast Sea Daoist Lord, who possessed the embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit.

However, she was used to doing things alone and did not like cooperating with others.

Afterward, she listed the forces that currently surpassed their Qiongqi Clan, feeling that without alliances it would be difficult to establish a foothold in the Great Era's conflict.

Zhu Tian ruled the Demon Territory, with more than ten cultivators who had passed tribulation under his command, and with Jiang Lianyi and Ao Ling awakening, she couldn't contend with the forces of these three familiar Ancient beings.

It is suspected that there is a Semi-Immortal within the Buddha Country, and in a real fight, she herself might not be afraid, but the Qiongqi Clan as a whole definitely couldn't defeat the Buddha Country.

The Great Xia Dynasty had inscrutable strength, and there was a very good chance they had Immortals, unbeatable.

The Ancient Heavenly Court was even harder to fight, with two Immortals.

As for the Great Yu forces, she couldn't contend with the three great masters: the original Emperor Yu and the two Imperial Teachers.

The Great Qian forces remained out of sight.

An unknown Immortal had also emerged in the East Sea, and it was uncertain which force was behind them, but they too were unbeatable.

The fact that the Meng Family could provoke so many formidable enemies and still survive indicated that there must be a Semi-Immortal behind them.

This does not even take into account the three Ancient Immortals including Yingtian Immortal.

Jin Caiwei grew more and more alarmed as she counted, realizing that it would be impossible to maintain a position in the top eleven if the Qilin Immortal didn't show up.

These powers were either too large and wealthy, unsuitable for cooperation with the Qiongqi Clan, or they had Immortals, where she wouldn't hold the initiative.

Considering this, only the Seek Dao Sect met the conditions for cooperation, with both sides having Semi-Immortals and being roughly equal in size.

"Little Jin Que had a good point, we could consider partnering with the Seek Dao Sect," she said.

Based on this consideration, she decided to visit the Seek Dao Sect for an assessment.

But she didn't go directly to the Seek Dao Sect, being too straightforward was not good, so she headed to Imperial City, the cultivation center of Great Xia, to learn the cultivators' opinions on the Seek Dao Sect.

During this time, she heard that the Imperial Academy had some research on ancient history, so she wanted to come here to see the findings of the Imperial Academy's research and by chance ran into the Academy's Dean, Qi Xiuya.

But she did not expect to encounter Lu Yang here.

As the next Sect Leader of the Seek Dao Sect, highly valued by the Vast Sea Daoist Lord and a cultivation prodigy, Lu Yang was a key figure for Jin Caiwei to investigate.

From Lu Yang's recent revelation of Yingtian Immortal's secrets, it appeared Lu Yang had secrets of his own.

"Oh, it's Little Tiger!" Fairy Eternity pointed at Jin Caiwei and laughed, not expecting that Jin Caiwei the Little Tiger would still be alive; she had held Jin Caiwei even before she could take on human form.

Upon hearing Lu Yang bluntly reveal her identity, Jin Caiwei instantly became alert, her hackles raising, and her pupils turning into the bright yellow of a tiger's, like a little cat startled by shock.

He was clearly only at the Nascent Soul Stage, how could he possibly see her race!

Fairy Eternity suddenly realized that she was using Lu Yang's identity, which meant she couldn't possibly recognize Jin Caiwei, so she pointed at the jade pendant on Jin Caiwei's chest and said,

"Oh, I mean the little tiger on your jade pendant is really cute."

The tiger medallion jade pendant on Jin Caiwei's chest was a gift from the old Qiongqi.

Realizing it was all a misunderstanding, Jin Caiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fairy, who is this person?" Inside the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang realized that Fairy Eternity was trying to conceal the truth.

"Do you remember when we were in the Qiongqi ancient tomb, there was a coffin belonging to the old Qiongqi? The old Qiongqi had a daughter named Jin Caiwei, who had a good relationship with the Qilin Immortal, though she didn't get along with Xiao Ling and Lianyi."

"At that time I was puzzled; the old Qiongqi died of old age, Jin Caiwei was only at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, so she should have died before the old Qiongqi, yet there was no grave for Jin Caiwei in the ancient tomb."

"Now I understand, this little tiger didn't die but entered a slumber after breaking through to Semi-Immortal, and has now awakened."

"Semi-Immortal?!" Lu Yang was startled. How did a Semi-Immortal suddenly appear? Weren't they supposed to be very rare, popping up as frequently as white radishes?

This case was different from dealing with Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi; Jin Caiwei didn't remember Fairy Eternity, nor did she have messages left by the Qilin Immortal, so getting cozy with her was out of the question.

President Qi was unaware of the complex relationship between this human, demon, and immortal. Seeing Jin Caiwei agree with Lu Yang's point of view, he couldn't help but smile with interest.

He was aware of Jin Caiwei's capabilities, which far surpassed his own understanding of ancient history.

This indicated that what Lu Yang said was true history, and indeed the Open Mountain Axe was the magic artifact Yingtian Immortal used to intercept and demand a toll.

"It seems that young friend Lu Yang has a profound understanding of ancient history. I just happen to have a question and would like to seek answers from both of you."

Emperor Xia listened in surprise, so the Open Mountain Axe really came about like that?

"Go ahead and ask," Fairy Eternity said, finding herself a chair and sitting down next to Jin Caiwei.

Jin Caiwei was a very cautious person, reluctant to interact with strangers, yet for some reason, she did not feel uncomfortable when Lu Yang sat beside her.

President Qi earnestly asked, "Legend has it that during Ancient Times, Yingtian Immortal and Time Immortal fought a battle on the moon after they achieved immortality. Unfortunately, very few were qualified to watch it. Do you know anything about the process, or who ultimately won?"

After pondering for a moment, Jin Caiwei earnestly said, "I have heard of this matter. It's said that Yingtian Immortal and Time Immortal had a fundamental conflict in their cultivation techniques, necessitating a grand battle to prove their Dao hearts."

"In that battle, Yingtian Immortal wielded the Open Sky Axe with a power that shocked the world; it seemed as if it truly had the ability to cleave heaven and earth. As a being born from the Firmament Tree, Time Immortal naturally resonated with trees. Time Immortal controlled the trees, and ancient trees reached up to the skies, endless and boundless, impossible to see the end at a glance."

"The two Immortals clashed with awe-inspiring powers, an ultimate display of destruction and an extreme force of life, dazzling for all eternity. Countless ancient trees were felled by Yingtian Immortal, yet many more ancient trees regenerated from severed branches, an incessant cycle that turned the entire moon into a sea of old trees.

Those who witnessed the battle trembled with fear, not daring to approach, lest they be swept up in the confrontation."

"In the end, they concluded in a draw, neither side victorious."

Although she had not witnessed the battle herself, Jin Caiwei recounted the story as her father had told her, confident in its accuracy.

Even now, the thought of that scene, as described by everyone, sent chills down her spine – the combat power of Immortals was truly terrifying.

"Huh? That's how it went down? Wasn't it just that Yingtian Immortal and Time Immortal got drunk one day, with Yingtian Immortal bragging about how fast he could swing his axe, and Time Immortal boasting about how well he cultivated the 'Tree-Planting Sutra' and how quickly saplings grew?

Both refusing to back down, they had a contest on the moon, didn't they?" Fairy Eternity scratched the back of her head, her recollection not quite matching with the picture painted by the little tiger.

"Then Yingtian Immortal kept swinging his axe tirelessly, and Time Immortal kept casting the 'Tree-Planting Sutra', both of them worn out and panting."

"Their antics even scared away the Jade Rabbit clan that lived on the moon."
