Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Geniuses from ancient times!

Ying Tian Immortal was jealous of their talents!

Master Mi was shocked by these two explosive pieces of information.

As the era of great change approaches, many ancient powers have awakened. Some hail from the Great Yu era, some from the Great Qian era. These powerful beings, starting from the late Unity stage, have incredibly solid foundations, qualifying them to step onto the grand stage and compete for the chance of immortality.

However, never had there been tales of cultivators from ancient times waking up.

Yet, the other party’s cultivation and combat power couldn’t be faked. Golden Core stage fighting Nascent Soul stage to a standstill was a rare feat, worthy of being recorded in history.

Listening to their tone, they didn’t seem to think much of the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty.

And their demeanor didn’t suggest they were pretending.

Could it be true?

The very thought was terrifying. If true, it was enough to scare anyone senseless and was certainly beyond the meddling of a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator like him.

Wait, Master Mi realized something was off. The sword energy just now might not have come from them; it was very likely borrowed from a sword talisman left by an elder.

“Such deceit!”

Master Mi felt he had seen through their ploy. Dark energy swirled around his heart, and a blade-wielding ghost appeared, merging with Master Mi.

Master Mi’s aura changed drastically, holding a bone-cutting knife, looking like a ghost general, ready to eliminate the four youngsters and show them he wasn’t easily deceived.

This was a highly unusual cultivation method known as the Five Organs Ghost-Driving Technique, where five ghosts were nurtured within the five organs. In battle, the ghosts could either possess the cultivator or be controlled by them, useful for both close and distant combat.

One person behind Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and made a move, unleashing his full power, glowing brilliantly like the sun, subduing all demons and evil spirits.

Boom—

The collision of forces created a huge sound, shaking the earth.

“Long Jingzhou, he’s all yours.”

Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily, looking down on Master Mi. “A bunch of cultists who don’t even know the origins of the Nine Nether Sect dare to challenge me?”

Meng Jingzhou’s body ignited in blazing flames, causing the surrounding air to boil as if a sun had risen from the ground.

The ghost possessing Master Mi screamed in agony as its body continuously dissolved.

This was the Pure Yang True Fire granted to every Single Spirit Root cultivator, extremely yang and rigid, the bane of all ghosts.

A single glance at the Pure Yang True Fire made Young Master Qin’s eyes feel like they were burning. He had to use all his cultivation to suppress the discomfort.

Anyone fighting Master Mi for the first time would be thrown off by his ghost-driving combat style and quickly fall behind.

Unfortunately for him, he was up against Meng Jingzhou, a cultivator bold enough to form two single Golden Cores. Meng Jingzhou’s Pure Yang True Fire was the strongest among all Single Spirit Root cultivators throughout history.

Master Mi’s ghostly aura, though seemingly terrifying, was actually spilling out uncontrollably, indicating he was already at a disadvantage.

Meng Jingzhou’s iron fists pounded on the blade, covering its surface with countless punch marks.

“That’s enough,” Lu Yang said calmly. Meng Jingzhou tactfully stepped back, sparing Master Mi’s life.

Master Mi’s spirit was still shaken as he quickly recalled the blade-wielding ghost to his heart to heal.

The ghost wouldn’t be able to fight again for some time.

Master Mi was now certain; the opponent was indeed an extraordinary genius.

An early Golden Core stage cultivator managed to put a Nascent Soul stage cultivator like him at a disadvantage—although he hadn’t used all his techniques, had the opponent used their full power?

Judging by their relaxed demeanor, it seemed like they hadn’t even been in a fight.

Master Mi couldn’t tell if Ying Tian Immortal would be jealous of them, but he was certain such talent was rare even in an era brimming with geniuses!

“Master Mi, we are not your enemies. The Five Great Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty may be nothing, but our Heavenly Court Sect has not fully revived yet, and we are not fully prepared to deal with them!”

“Moreover, we have a deep-seated enmity with the Dao Seeking Sect!”

“The Dao Seeking Sect annihilated the Undying Sect, severing the revival chance of Everlasting Celestial. Everlasting Celestial was the protector of our ancient Heavenly Court and held great significance for us!”

Lu Yang’s eyes gleamed with hatred and a thirst for vengeance against the Dao Seeking Sect.

“Heavenly Court?” Master Mi showed a puzzled expression. The other side had been mentioning the Heavenly Court repeatedly.

What was the Heavenly Court? Why had he never heard of it?

Lu Yang patiently explained, “The Heavenly Court was the ruler of ancient times. All the stars in the sky, all natural phenomena, were under our jurisdiction.”

“In the era before Ying Tian Immortal and others rose to power, all living beings respected the Heavenly Court. Unfortunately, as they rose, the Heavenly Court lost its advantage and gradually declined.”

“Heavenly Court worships the Supreme Great Venerate, Bean Venerate. The brilliant stars are nothing more than grains of soybeans in front of the Supreme Great Venerate, utterly insignificant.”

(TL Note: Soybeans in chinese can be called 黄豆 or Yellow Bean. To clarify, Everlasting Fairy’s real name in chinese is 黄豆豆 which would be more accurately translated as Yellow Bean Bean but it makes no sense to call her that and the last part with the extra “豆” is just to make her name sound cuter in chinese)

“The Bean Venerate was the first to achieve immortality. It’s detestable that Nonuple Immortal, to obscure the Heavenly Court’s existence, stole the Bean Venerate’s glory and claimed to be the first to achieve immortality!”

Master Mi was shocked. He didn’t even know about Nonuple Immortal, let alone that Nonuple Immortal was supposedly the first to achieve immortality.

From Lu Yang’s few words, he sensed the brutal struggles of ancient times. It seemed the ancient times were filled with deceit and intrigue, and even immortals were not exempt!

“We are all members of Heavenly Court, awakened from slumber to form the Heavenly Court Sect. We intend to use the coming great era to restore the former glory of Heavenly Court!”

“We are not the only ones who have awakened from ancient times. There are elders who have awakened and are lying in wait, silently preparing for more elders to awaken and plot the grand scheme.”

Master Mi thought to himself, could it be that the reason no ancient cultivators have been known to awaken is not because there were none but because those who did were all members of Heavenly Court Sect? Did they hide after waking up?

The ancient methods of concealment might not be known to the Great Xia Dynasty, which made sense.

There was a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator hidden behind Young Master Qin, sent by the upper echelons of the Nine Nether Sect to protect him.

He had not expected to encounter such a situation.

He was just about to reveal himself and scold Lu Yang for spouting nonsense when Lu Yang suddenly raised his eyes slightly and made eye contact with him.

How was this possible? His concealment technique was rare in the world. How could someone at the early Golden Core stage detect him?

Unless there was also a protector hiding near the other party, with a cultivation far above his own!

The Spirit Transformation stage protector quickly realized this and dared not make a move.

Lu Yang averted his gaze. It was Everlasting Fairy who had informed him about the Spirit Transformation stage protector behind Young Master Qin.

Fortunately, his glance had intimidated the protector.

Smart people will automatically fill in the gaps on how they were discovered, saving him the effort.

“Our Heavenly Court Sect is more closely related to your Nine Nether Sect than you might think, Master Mi. The Heavenly Court represents the yang and governs the living world, while the Nine Nethers represents the yin and governs the underworld. The Heavenly Court and the Nine Nether realm were the true rulers of ancient times!”

“What!” Master Mi exclaimed, unable to believe that the Nine Nether realm had such a close relationship with Heavenly Court.

Even the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator hidden behind Young Master Qin felt his heart tighten.

So the Nine Nether realm originated from ancient times?

Seeing Master Mi so flustered, Lu Yang gently shook his head, seeming pained by their reaction.

“It seems that with the end of ancient times, many heritages have been lost. Even the oldest Nine Nether realm has completely forgotten its relationship with us.”

“That’s why we say, there’s no need for us to fight to the death. Master Mi, consider this: if we were from the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty, wouldn’t we just wipe you out instead of wasting time here?”

“If you still don’t believe us, we have more proof.”

“In ancient times, Heavenly Court and the Nine Nether realm were close. Our elders know some reincarnation techniques. Using these, we found the reincarnation of your previous Sect Leader, Qin Haoran!”
