Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 146: Chapter 145 The Strongest Among the Five Great Immortal Sects_1

Meng Jingzhou patted Lu Yang’s shoulder and said, “You’ve finally become so excellent that people are coining to propose marriage.”

Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou: “Finally?”

Meng Jingzhou proudly said: “Ever since I was young, I’ve had the royal family, powerful ministers, and members of righteous sects coming to propose to me. They offered their daughters to me as my fiancees as if I were their own son. Even my parents and clan elders strongly disagreed. Otherwise, how could I possibly…”

Lu Yang chimed in: “Be, what, impotent now?”

Meng Jingzhou retorted angrily: “Be a charming young master!”

The two wrestled together, both using the Tiger Fist technique. The sounds of their fight echoed amongst the clouds. Yun Zhi, who was flying the cloud, ignored them.

Lu Yang transformed into a Tiger Demon, overpowered Meng Jingzhou with

one claw strike, forcing him to beg for mercy.

In the end, Meng Jingzhou’s Tiger Fist was no match for Lu Yang s real tiger.

After the fight, Lu Yang still couldn’t understand. Has the quality he demonstrated in Yanjiang County reached the level where people are coming to propose marriage?

And why do the elements of “proposal”, “girl’s regret”, and “possessing a powerful soul” sound so familiar?

The Great Xia Dynasty, Imperial City, Imperial Palace.

Seated high in the hall was a dignified man dressed in dark robes adorned with gold designs. He was grave and stern. Ministers hailed the Emperor, and the atmosphere was solemn and serious.

“My beloved ministers, please rise.”

“Thankyou, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Xia glanced at the ministers and brought out a newly received report, “I have just received a memorial from the Qingzhou Governor, stating that in a place called Buyi Town in Qingzhou, five ancient unification stage cultivators have resurrected and formed a realm. The Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect happened to pass by and killed three of the unification stage cultivators with his two apprentices.”

At these words, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. The resurrection of the five unification stage cultivators was no small matter. Luckily, Daoist Buyu encountered them. If it had been any other unification stage cultivator, they would have fallen in Buyi Town directly.

Although Daoist Buyu’s reputation wasn’t stellar, and many had been fooled by him when they were young, his strength was undoubtedly top-notch amongst unification stage cultivators.

“However, two of the unification stage cultivators managed to escape, both at the peak of the unification stage.” Emperor Xia reminded his ministers that this is the crux of the matter.

Emperor Xia did not expect them to observe the rules. The methods of ancient cultivation were very crude and brutal. These resurrected cultivators aimed to seize the opportunities of the Great Era by any means necessary. The Great Xia Dynasty had already learned painful lessons regarding such behavior.

The ministers whispered to each other. If the two unification stage cultivators show up, there is nothing to fear. There are plenty of people in the court who can deal with them. However, if these two hide and plot something in secret, it becomes much more troublesome. Especially if they collude with members of the demonic sect.

“These ancient unification stage cultivators!” Emperor Xia was troubled. With spiritual power growing increasingly active, more and more ancient cultivators are resurrecting.

These unification stage cultivators are a major problem. If left unchecked, they could bring about massive disasters, causing countless casualties amongst the population.

The good news is that, to date, no transcendence tribulation stage cultivators have resurrected.

According to the intelligence gathered so far, those who have resurrected early are at the initial stages of unification. The later ones tend to have higher cultivation levels. The ones resurrected in Buyi Town consist of four peak unification stage cultivators and one late-stage unification cultivator.

It’s foreseeable that transcendence tribulation stage cultivators will start to resurrect soon. When they do and the troubles with the Eastern Ocean, Western Buddha Country, Southern Demon Realm, the northernmost land, and the Four Great Devil Sects ah explode simultaneously, the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty will inevitably waver. By then, it’s feared that the prophecy warning every dynasty only has a tenure for a hundred thousand years will come true.

“All for the sake of becoming immortals!” A chill flashed through Emperor Xia’s eyes. He was privy to many secrets, knowing full well that behind all the chaos, someone was manipulating events to bring forth more Dao Fruits of immortality.

Emperor Xia suspected that it was the work of the Ancient Nameless One, one of the five immortals of antiquity.

“Is becoming immortal so important?” Emperor Xia felt a surge of anger within him, although he did not show it outwardly.

If the person behind all this really thought that the Great Xia Dynasty is a mere piece to be moved freely across the chessboard, they would be greatly mistaken.

Emperor Xia put aside the matter of the Ancient Nameless One and refocused on the two unification stage cultivators that had escaped.

Just then, the Chief Eunuch received a memorial. Seeing the source, he promptly handed it over to Emperor Xia.

After reading it, Emperor Xia’s face brightened, “Good, very good!”

The ministers were puzzled, wondering what was written in the memorial that made the Emperor so happy.

“We no longer need to worry about the two unification stage cultivators! Yun Zhi from the Seek Dao Sect has already captured them!”

“Yun Zhi?” Some uninformed ministers were confused about who Yun Zhi is. Among the eight elders in the Seek Dao Sect, they did not recall anyone named Yun Zhi.

Well-informed senior ministers were aware of Yun Zhi’s identity and the terror she invoked. To them, Yun Zhi capturing two unification stage cultivators was no surprise.

“The Demon Territory has sent a messenger…” Emperor Xia and his ministers began discussing other matters.

After the morning court, Emperor Xia returned to the Yangxin Hall to review the new memorials.

“Your Majesty, Duke Jingyansong of the Qin nation has something to report, the Chief Eunuch spoke quietly.

Without lifting his head, Emperor Xia responded: “Let him in.

When Duke Qin entered the Yangxin Hall, he saw Emperor Xia busy reviewing memorials. He respectfully stood there without speaking. After the Emperor had finished revising the most important memorials, he finally spoke.

“Duke Qin, what brings you here?” Emperor Xia looked solemn as he gazed at Duke Qin. Any weak-willed person would dare not meet his eyes.

“Your Majesty, I believe we must be wary of the Seek Dao Sect. Yun Zhi from the Seek Dao Sect defeated the leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects when she was still a disciple, creating an unprecedented record. Since then, she has been low-profile and seldom acts. However, every time she does, it never fails to shock everyone. Over these hundreds of years, her cultivation level must have reached a terrifying level.

I fear her existence could shake the foundation of our dynasty. After all, the Seek Dao Sect was established during the era of Great Yu. They survived through the ‘split of the land’ and the ‘establishment of the Great Xia’. They might harbor ambitions to replace us.

This is not just my personal opinion. On my way to the court, I heard a waiter singing, ‘When Seek Dao flourishes, the world is at peace.'”

Emperor Xia frowned. Seeing this, Duke Qin knew that the Emperor had begun suspecting the Seek Dao Sect, and he said no more. He excused himself and left.

Emperor Xia called over the Chief Eunuch, “Go and investigate who Duke Qin has met recently. Pay special attention to his interactions with instances from the Demon Territory.”

“Yes.”

Emperor Xia sneered in his mind. It seemed that not everyone in the court was on the Great Xia’s side.

“Creating a rift between me and the Seek Dao Sect is a clever plan.”

After Emperor Xia ascended the throne, he visited the Five Great Immortal Sects. While visiting the Seek Dao Sect, he met Yun Zhi and was astounded by her. He felt that she was unfathomable; even the spies he sent couldn’t fathom Yun Zhi’s profoundness. So he went directly to his ancestors in the forbidden area of the royal palace to ask if they knew about a female cultivator from the Seek Dao Sect named Yun Zhi.

His ancestor fell silent for a long time before answering with just one sentence: “The most powerful amongst the Five Great Immortal Sects.”

Emperor Xia wasn’t quite satisfied. He further inquired, “How does she compare to you, ancestor?”

“Don’t ask anymore.”

Emperor Xia was kicked out by his ancestor, who appeared greatly irritated.
