Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Just as the cultivators of Great Yu were cheering, celebrating that Guan Shanhai had supported them to victory, and the cultivators of Great Qian were enduring humiliation, and Captive Peak was in an uproar,

Lu Yang silently appeared, and both sides instantly fell silent, not daring to speak any further.

Following closely behind him was Eldest Senior Sister, and the prisoners at Captive Peak were so frightened that they immediately bowed their heads, not daring to meet Lu Yang's gaze for fear of being targeted by this harbinger of calamity.

Thanks to Lu Yang, they were able to enjoy highly nutritious medicinal food daily, followed by bloodletting.

"Why is it so quiet?"

Just now, Lu Yang could hear the clamor of these undisciplined prisoners from outside, but as he entered, the noise ceased abruptly, as if what he had heard earlier was an illusion.

Let it go, these are trifles, not worth concerning about.

Lu Yang opened the cell holding Si Lei God Lord, raised the Black Ancient Ring, and with a flash of dark light, captured Si Lei God Lord inside.

Lu Yang and Yun Zhi also entered the Ancient Ring, leaving behind the prisoners looking at each other in bewilderment.

Since when did Seek Dao Sect conduct interrogations inside a ring? That was not their usual practice.

Guan Shanhai silently observed the Black Ancient Ring, instinctively feeling that this ring had an extraordinary origin.

He was not skilled in refining, but Wu Yao was, and he had crafted the Green Peak Sword himself.

Was this ancient ring an Immortal Artifact?

Who crafted it? Could it be the legendary Yingtian Immortal?

Inside the Ancient Ring's small world, Lu Yang was about to say something, such as appealing for leniency, threatening with severity, conveying that there were plenty of ways to make him talk if he didn't confess, or asking him to look at who was present.

Before he could muster the right emotions, he saw Si Lei God Lord kneeling on the ground and earnestly speaking, "Ask me, I will confess everything."

"You're being honest about confessing... huh?"

Lu Yang was just about to rehearse his speech when Si Lei God Lord's first sentence disrupted his plans.

Are all the cultivators of Great Qian this honest?

Yun Zhi also rarely showed a hint of doubt; she had interrogated many but had never encountered someone so forthright.

"It seems I'm not needed?"

Only then did Si Lei God Lord notice a golden dragon circling in the sky, each scale as large as a mountain. The dragon transformed with a shake, turning into a handsome man exuding an impressive imperial aura.

At the sight of the man, Si Lei God Lord couldn't stop trembling; this was a fear rooted in the depths of the Dao Fruit Outline, stronger than any fear induced by an emperor's rage.

"Yi—Yingtian Immortal..." He stammered out the name of the handsome man.

Only his superior, Yingtian Immortal, who possessed the Tribulation Dao Fruit, could exert such oppressive presence!

He was created to search for the trace of Yingtian Immortal, yet he had never imagined he would encounter Yingtian Immortal in such a situation.

"It seems we will have to trouble Senior Yingtian to prevent him from using the Dao Fruit Outline and order him to speak the truth."

Lu Yang didn't trust Si Lei God Lord and thought it best to use the power of Dao Fruit to suppress him.

Upon using the Dao Fruit, it turned out Si Lei God Lord truly harbored no ill intentions; he was indeed eager to tell the truth.

Regrettably, similar to the case of Si Chen God Lord, Si Lei God Lord was also under an incense restriction, unable to reveal the location of the Fairy Palace. Neither explicit nor implicit hints were allowed.

All the Heaven and Earth Treasures, Spirit Stones, and magic artifacts he had accumulated were also stored in the Fairy Palace and out of reach, which Lu Yang found to be a significant pity.

"Do you have any last words?" Considering Si Lei God Lord's good attitude in admitting his wrongs, Lu Yang felt that if Si Lei God Lord had any requests, as long as they weren't too excessive, he could fulfill them.

Si Lei God Lord angrily slapped his thigh, increasingly frustrated by the recent events: "Great Yu humiliates us of Great Qian as if we have no one capable. If the Emperor and Lord Controller were here, we would never have to suffer such indignities!"

The Emperor and Lord Controller had built their dynasty upon ruins; what a difficult and magnificent effort it was. Could Wu Yao and Guan Shanhai even compare?

Their Great Qian power was undoubtedly the strongest wherever they went; did the National Preceptor of Great Yu really think he was something special?

"Uh, I'll do my best." Lu Yang was somewhat troubled, as the request was indeed not something he could help with just by willing it.

...

In the forbidden land of the Imperial Palace, two immortals of Great Xia faced off over a game of chess. The chessboard was a battlefield, with each black and white piece locked in deadly combat. Each move was heart-stopping, and the slightest misstep could lead to a total loss.

"Has Guiyuan emerged from some corner?" Upon receiving this intelligence, Meng Junzi was so excited he couldn't control himself and crushed the chessboard with a slap of his hand.

Jiang Pingan looked at Meng Junzi with a resentful expression, wanting to pick up the hoe at his feet and give this shameless creature a smack.

I was about to win!

Soon after, Jiang Pingan revealed a content smile. It was indeed great news that Guiyuan was alive.

When Celestial Master Guiyuan disappeared eighty thousand years ago, even when he used the Power of National Fate, he couldn't find a trace of him and worried something unexpected had happened.

I knew it. With his thick skin, he certainly couldn't be dead.

Before the two could even reflect on their old friend's return, they saw a burly figure brazenly enter the Imperial Palace Forbidden Land and laugh heartily.

"Meng Junzi, I knew you, this sneaky thing, had become immortal. Come on, let's have a practice match!"

After regaining his confidence by defeating Mister Tiankui, Celestial Master Guiyuan didn't hesitate to drag the life-weary Mister Tiankui with him to challenge Meng Junzi.

If it weren't inconvenient for Chasing Moon True Person to come over, he would have wanted to drag him along too.

...

"Si Lei was captured by Seek Dao Sect?" The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord was utterly astonished to hear this news.

But when he thought about his own clone falling into Seek Dao Sect's hands, it seemed reasonable that Si Lei God Lord couldn't defeat them.

"Why are there fewer and fewer of our people?" Mid-heaven Emperor Lord turned his head to ask the Lord Controller.

In just a few short years, not a single one of the Four Ancient Immortals had been found. Instead, several Semi-Immortals had been lost.

Even with the ability to create Dao Fruit Outlines through the faith of incense, Semi-Immortals were not that easy to come by.

"Could it be that the struggle of the Great Era has arrived?" After a long thought, the Controller finally came up with an explanation.

"No, the ancient conflicts of the Great Era always started with young geniuses. Has this time's Great Era struggle begun directly with Semi-Immortals?"

"Perhaps the struggle of the Ancient Great Era has not yet ended?"

...

"Explosions, series of explosions..." The figure seated on the throne of bones was focusing on a detail in the intelligence that few had paid attention to.

The explosions that had left Celestial Master Guiyuan and Si Lei God Lord comatose.

"It sounds like the power of the explosions isn't as great as the one at Western Paradise Temple, but apart from Immortal Artifacts, the only thing capable of causing continuous explosions would be the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit!"

"The person who conducted the explosions at Mountain Moving and Sea Filling Sect might possess the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit!"

"No, it's not just a possibility, it's a certainty!"

"She also made her move at the Sword Tower, enduring Liu Ningxuan's Silent Destruction Sword Technique; I thought what she had was a Dao Fruit Outline of the Vajra Lineage."

"It turns out what she possesses is the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit!"

The figure's tone grew increasingly excited.

Ever since the Mysterious Immortal made their move at Western Paradise Temple, they had disappeared without a trace, and the figure had been searching for clues of the Mysterious Immortal to no avail.

It was as if the Mysterious Immortal had evaporated from the mortal world.

Now that the clue to the Immortal Dao Fruit had reappeared, how could he not be thrilled!

"She claimed to be Yun Zhi at the Sword Tower? No, that's not right, Yun Zhi isn't that weak."

"But she must be related to Yun Zhi. This is going to be troublesome..."

...
