Who Let Him Cultivate?!

How did Emperor Yu's personal sword end up in the hands of this junior cultivator? Was it dug up from an ancient tomb?

People let their imaginations run wild, while the young man's confidants knew more about the matter.

They had heard the young man say that Emperor Yu, Wu Yao, had long since become an Immortal, only it was unknown to the public.

What does Emperor Yu's personal sword signify? It signifies an Immortal Sword!

This is something all Semi-Immortals dream of possessing.

No wonder the adult was so excited.

"Which of you knows who the holder of the Immortal Sword is?" the young man had not paid attention to the younger generation, as it was unnecessary to do so until a genius had grown up.

There are so many talents in the world, and he was once one of the many talents. Now, looking back, how many are still alive? Only himself.

"Reporting to the adult, this person is named Lu Yang, a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect Master, who once fought to a draw with the Heavenly Court Sect Young Master during the Golden Core Stage."

Hearing this, the young man began to take Lu Yang a bit more seriously.

But just slightly.

"One of the Five Immortal Sects, the Dao Seeking Sect, huh..."

Seeing the young man seemed somewhat interested, a confidant advised telepathically, "My lord, Lu Yang holds Emperor Yu's personal sword, which may have been bestowed by Emperor Yu himself. We must not act rashly."

This Lu Yang, could he possibly be a direct disciple of Emperor Yu? Otherwise, how could he obtain Emperor Yu's personal sword?

Combining that with Lu Yang's feats, being able to fight the Heavenly Court Young Master to a draw—and it is said that the Young Master's master is Heavenly Venerate Dou of the Heavenly Court, a true Ancient Immortal.

It makes sense for a disciple of an Ancient Immortal and a disciple of Emperor Yu to be evenly matched.

The young man did not become angry at his confidant's caution, but instead laughed heartily with a meaningful expression, "If I were not privy to the inside story, what you say would indeed make sense. Unfortunately, your guess is impossible. Emperor Yu is no longer amongst us."

The confidant was shocked upon hearing this. Emperor Yu was gone? What did that mean? Emperor Yu was an Immortal, how could he no longer be present?

"What do you think was the reason Emperor Yu allowed the dynasty to be destroyed?" The young man asked in return, but it sounded more like he was talking to himself, "He was seeking an opportunity, an opportunity to leave this world."

The young man had a nostalgic look in his eyes, "Ever since ancient times, this world has been sealed. No one can leave; no one can enter. Since Emperor Yu rose in the last era of Great Qian, contended for the world with many heroes, and established the Great Yu Dynasty with overwhelming authority, and his Cultivation Level is that of an Immortal.

Whether you look at the scale of his power, his Cultivation Level, or his life experience, he had reached the pinnacle of existence and had no further room for advancement."

"So he always wanted to leave this world, to see what the outside was like."

"Wu Youdao shouted the slogan of restoring Great Yu. Did Emperor Yu not know? Of course, he knew, he just didn't need to care."

"Rather than saying the Great Yu Dynasty was destroyed, it would be more accurate to say that Emperor Yu personally sacrificed his own dynasty. As for what method he used, you don't need to know. That's the power of Dao Fruit; I could explain it to you, but you wouldn't remember."

"After the destruction of Great Yu, I saw Emperor Yu several more times. He hadn't left, perhaps he hadn't met some condition yet. Until recently, I felt a momentary burst of Emperor Yu's presence, which erupted and then dissipated, and there was no longer such a person in this world, and I believe it was then that Emperor Yu left this world."

"So, you don't have to worry about Emperor Yu coming back. He has already left this world. This young man named Lu Yang just happened to come upon Emperor Yu's personal sword by a twist of fate."

"Divine items belong to those who are capable. Lu Yang, a mere mortal with only Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Level, how is he qualified to possess such divine treasures?"

"I guess the conditions for Emperor Yu to leave this world were harsh, perhaps requiring not just the sacrifice of the Great Yu Dynasty, but also of himself, and in the end, only he was able to leave, unable to take anything with him, hence he left his sword behind."

"So what I am interested in is not merely a sword, but everything that Emperor Yu has left behind!"

"And the clue lies with this kid named Lu Yang."

The youth stared at the replay of Lu Yang once more, murmuring an incantation, his fingers calculating Lu Yang's location when suddenly his body trembled inexplicably, as if someone had slapped him.

"Hiss, strange." The doubtful youth looked around, considering whether to recalculate, but after some thought, he decided against it.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"I actually can't determine this kid's location—not just his, but also the location of the kid beside him and Old Ma... Ah, it must be Emperor Yu's sword that can sever anything, surely the Immortal Sword has cut off my connection with Lu Yang. Otherwise, this kid must have obtained some other mystical artifact that can block calculations."

The young man's expression became even greedier, "This kid has quite the fortune, it's probably going to be difficult to find his location."

"My lord, I have a plan," the confidant spoke. He was responsible for collecting intelligence on Great Xia and was the most informed about the situations of the major sects there.

"Let's hear it."

"As I know, the second day of the second month next year is the day when the Seek Dao Sect recruits disciples. That kid named Lu Yang will surely be at the Seek Dao Sect then."

"Moreover, at that time, the Seek Dao Sect will be busy organizing tests and won't have time to watch over him, their defenses will be lax, and we could take the opportunity to launch a major assault on the Seek Dao Sect, catching them off guard!"

"By then, not just the insignificant Lu Yang, but the entire Seek Dao Sect would be in the palm of your hand!"

The young man's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea, a perfect opportunity to eradicate the Seek Dao Sect and establish his authority.

Perhaps the mystical artifact left by Emperor Yu was obtained by the Seek Dao Sect and merely bestowed upon Lu Yang.

The artifacts left behind by Emperor Yu, and perhaps even the legendary "Sword Array of Immortal Annihilation" rumored to be from ancient times and improved by Emperor Yu himself, could be found in the Seek Dao Sect—with its power so great, it could bring Immortals to their knees!

"Sometimes you do come up with good ideas, kid."

The confidant bowed and nodded, "It's merely some tricks I've picked up from the master."

The young man was very pleased with the bootlicking from his subordinate.

...

"Strange," Fairy Eternity murmured.

"Fairy, what's the matter?" Lu Yang asked.

"Just now, someone tried to calculate your causality, but I casually blocked them. I'm not sure who's trying to scheme against you."

"The other party couldn't figure out your causality, and tried to indirectly calculate it through the Meng Family Kid and the little white horse, but I blocked them as well."

Lu Yang was equally puzzled. He had been following the teachings of Elder Brother Dai conscientiously and honestly all along; all the attention-seeking was done by Old Ma. Why would someone still want to scheme against him? "Is the other party strong?"

Fairy Eternity tilted her head, touching her chin, "Judging by how I waved them away with a flick of my hand, they're certainly not as strong as me."

Lu Yang: "..."

That's like not saying anything at all, isn't it? In your worldview, Fairy, is there anyone stronger than you?

"Although there's no one stronger than me, there are those with similar strength; for instance, Miss Yun. The adversary's power is certainly no match for Miss Yun's."
