Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Lu Yang and his companion saw Celestial Master Guiyuan and Vast Sea Daoist Lord lying side by side in a huge pit, resembling corpses, and hurried over with a cry of alarm to attend to the old predecessors.

"Ancestors, are you two alright?"

Both the ancestors looked lifeless, unable to hear anything.

That day, three ancestors from the Seek Dao Sect gathered together.

On the same day, two of the three ancestors fell.

Lu Yang and his companion cried as they lifted the two elders from the pit to the edge where they employed new techniques learned at the Mountain Moving and Sea Filling Sect to restore the terrain to its original state.

Though the two ancestors had passed on, life had to go on, and the tasks at hand still needed to be completed.

"Second Boss, let me help you." If the second-in-command was working, it would make no sense for the third boss to just stand by and watch.

Daoist Xiantian thought for a moment. Everything came at a price, so he couldn't just spectate for nothing. Although the entire battle lasted only a few breaths, it was still a battle, so he, too, joined the effort to fill the pit as a price for watching.

In later generations, unworthy descendants carried sand and soil past the bodies of the two elders, their bodies exposed to the wilderness, uncared for—a true reflection of the world's cold reality.

"Ancestor, don't involve me next time there's a beating like this."

"Oh."

The two ancestors lay on the ground for a while but finally regained their strength and stood up, their spirits revived.

"By the way, Ancestor, you possess a Dao Fruit Outline of Unity, right?"

Previously, Vast Sea Daoist Lord was influenced by the fiery zeal of Celestial Master Guiyuan, becoming rash and entertaining impractical ideas like defeating Yun Zhi.

Now, having lain on the ground as if they were corpses for a while, this fervor had subsided, and they were back to normal.

"Right, what about it?"

"Can you merge Spirit Stones together?"

"Yes, ten low-grade Spirit Stones make a mid-grade Spirit Stone, and ten mid-grade Spirit Stones make a high-grade Spirit Stone."

"Then, can ten top-grade Spirit Stones be merged further?"

Vast Sea Daoist Lord took out ten top-grade Spirit Stones.

Top-grade Spirit Stones are the highest quality among Spirit Stones, containing extremely pure spiritual essence, so much so that even high-level cultivators dare not use them repeatedly for cultivation.

Celestial Master Guiyuan released a cyan-green light from his hands, which enveloped the ten top-grade Spirit Stones.

The ten top-grade Spirit Stones reacted with each other, gathering, touching, and merging.

After the light disappeared, a unique Spirit Stone appeared in the hands of Celestial Master Guiyuan.

This Spirit Stone was crystal clear, virtually impossible to find if placed in water, and its quality far exceeded that of top-grade Spirit Stones, with frighteningly rich spiritual essence.

"It really worked." The Vast Sea Daoist Lord happily took the Spirit Stone and carefully placed it in a wooden box, which was lined with Ancestor Dragon Grass to display this unprecedented Spirit Stone.

A gift for Xiao Ya was secured.

All along the way, Vast Sea Daoist Lord had been reflecting on Chasing Moon True Person's words. Xiao Ya, being born into the Long Clan, certainly wasn't lacking in Spirit Stones, and his presumptuous gift of Spirit Stones truly wasn't elegant.

But this Spirit Stone was different; it was beyond the top-grade Spirit Stones. No matter how wealthy Xiao Ya was, she wouldn't possess this Spirit Stone.

"Ancestor, does this Spirit Stone have a name?"

"In terms of a name, let's call it the Ultimate Spirit Stone; this is the limit for Spirit Stones. I feel that if it were to merge further, the Spirit Stone itself would not withstand it and would shatter."

"Then let's call it the Ultimate Spirit Stone." Vast Sea Daoist Lord finally had a gift worth giving, and directly opened a Spatial Gate to transport himself to the East Sea.

Ao Ya was still angry over there; he had to hurry and appease her.

"This junior is too formidable; we can't defeat him." Celestial Master Guiyuan recalled the recent fight—it was a pure crush. Even when he had challenged Jiang Pingan, he hadn't lost this miserably.

"Let's find someone to practice with. If Chasing Moon is still alive, then those few should be alive too, right?"

Celestial Master Guiyuan decided to reconnect with old friends to salvage some confidence after his defeat.

"It's done." Lu Yang filled in the last patch of earth, restoring the terrain to its original state, making it impossible for anyone to tell that a great battle had occurred here.

"Eldest Senior Sister, are you going to interrogate Si Lei God Lord?" Lu Yang noticed Yun Zhi flying towards Captive Peak.

"Yes." Without the issue of Celestial Master Guiyuan, Yun Zhi had planned to conduct the interrogation on the spot.

"I'll find some help to ensure that Si Lei God Lord confesses truthfully."

...

In Captive Peak, Si Lei God Lord was listening to his good friend, Si Chen God Lord, introduce the prisoners of Captive Peak. With each name mentioned, his eyes twitched.

Nightmare Supreme, Void Venerate, Master of All Laws... these were immensely famous Semi-Immortals in later generations, even more renowned than him.

These Semi-Immortals were actually imprisoned in this tiny Captive Peak.

He had thought his capture by the Seek Dao Sect was bad luck, a coincidence, merely bumping into Celestial Master Guiyuan and Yun Mengmeng.

Now, looking at it, this was no coincidence at all, but rather, the terrifying strength of the Seek Dao Sect.

His gaze fell on the cell at the end of Captive Peak, where a middle-aged man with a goatee and a thin figure sat on a chair with his legs crossed.

Just thinking of this person's reputation made his scalp tingle.

Great Yu National Preceptor Guan Shanhai.

Even immortals are imprisoned here!

Si Chen said he was captured by Lu Yang, who seemed to be at the Spirit Transformation Stage but was actually an Ancient Immortal.

The Great Yu National Preceptor was captured by a woman named Yun Zhi.

A mere sect having two immortals, how terrifying is that?

And they, the Great Qian, had no knowledge of this information!

"I see you Great Qian Cultivators aren't that impressive either. The ancient texts hype up how formidable you are, but now I see, you're just this."

Master of All Laws said disdainfully. In his youth, he'd often been praised by his elders as having the capacity to match Great Qian God Lords. He disliked this comparison and believed he was stronger than the Great Qian God Lord.

But that was merely his own belief; he couldn't find the Great Qian God Lord to compete against him to prove his might.

Now, he'd run into him in Captive Peak.

"What did you say? Say that again!" Si Lei God Lord roared in anger, thinking you could spout nonsense just because you were famous in later generations?

"Master All Laws, that's enough," Si Chen God Lord coldly spoke.

"Is he wrong though? I don't think he's wrong. You Great Qian Cultivators are just trash!" Void Venerate said, although he was the one who ended the Great Yu Dynasty, he was still fundamentally a cultivator from Great Yu, so naturally, he sided with Great Yu.

"Void, it seems you weren't convinced by our battle in Chunjiang City!" Nightmare Supreme frowned displeasingly. He had watched Wu Yao establish the Great Yu Dynasty and couldn't stand the sight of cultivators from the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Ridiculous, I clearly had the upper hand then. Were you hit silly by me? No wonder Great Qian fell; it's full of fools!"

"You Great Yu are nothing but a bunch of failures!"

"Go ahead, say that again!"

"I'll say it ten more times if you want, failures, all failures!"

The feuding between the two great dynasties' Semi-Immortals escalated as Body Integration Realm and Pass Tribulation Cultivators also joined the fray, verbally attacking each other's dynasty.

The scale of the battle involved five Semi-Immortals, over a dozen Pass Tribulation Cultivators, and nearly a hundred Body Integration Cultivators; it was second only to the founding wars.

"Enough, all of you shut up." Guan Shanhai, annoyed by the noise, snapped his newspaper shut with displeasure.

Guan Shanhai, being the highest in cultivation level in Captive Peak, when he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent as if chilled to the bone.

"The Great Qian Dynasty is just a bunch of failures who only know how to enjoy the offerings of incense; what's there to argue about with them?"

With these words, the cultivators from Great Yu erupted in cheers, while those from Great Qian quietly bowed their heads, not daring to contradict Guan Shanhai.

Si Lei God Lord also bowed his head silently, clenching his teeth, feeling deeply humiliated.

If only the Emperor and Lord Controller were here...
