Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Dai Bufan had a lengthy dream, where he envisioned his birth accompanied by unusual celestial phenomena, marking him as a prodigy. After joining the Seek Dao Sect, which was filled with talents, he, except for Yun Zhi, was still able to dominate his peers and sweep through all challenges.

He was measured in his actions and deeply cherished by his junior brothers and sisters. After entering the Body Integration Realm, he took charge of various affairs in the Task Hall, earning the heartfelt admiration from all sides...

"Elder Brother Dai, Elder Brother Dai, wake up!"

Lu Yang shook Elder Brother Dai, who was lying on the ground, and pinched him forcefully on the philtrum. Elder Brother Dai immediately sat up stiffly, his eyes clouded and memory jumbled.

Had he just experienced a life flashing before his eyes?

"Elder Brother Dai, you finally woke up; you scared me to death just now," Lu Yang wiped his sweat, affirming the old saying that both great joy and great sorrow are harmful to the body; the ancients truly did not deceive me.

"What happened to me just now?"

Lu Yang looked at Elder Brother Dai, his eyes bright and sincere, "Just now I said I had become an Immortal, and you, Elder Brother Dai, stood up happily, but you staggered and fainted."

"You became an Immortal?" Elder Brother Dai thought for a moment, then immediately pulled out a crimson Auspicious Cloud Banner from his storage ring, making a gesture to smash it towards Lu Yang.

"You're only at the Mid-stage of Transforming Spirit now, you dare to fool even me?"

Lu Yang hurriedly covered his head, "Ay, ay, ay, don't hit, don't hit, I'm telling the truth."

"I even have a witness."

"A witness?"

Lu Yang touched his forehead lightly, and a comatose Soul Body floated out.

"This person is the Si Chen God Lord of Great Qian."

After experiencing several self-detonations, Si Chen God Lord had luckily survived but had not woken up ever since.

Seeing the half-dead witness, Elder Brother Dai withdrew the Auspicious Cloud Banner, smilingly brought Lu Yang to the main seat, and began to massage his shoulders.

Lu Yang tried to get up several times but was firmly pressed down by Elder Brother Dai.

Elder Brother Dai leaned in close and whispered in Lu Yang's ear, making Lu Yang shiver involuntarily, "Immortal Lu, what exactly is going on? What have you been doing in the Buddha Country?"

"Oh, nothing much, just that I've done many good deeds as usual, which are considered great merits to the Buddha Country. The Power of Incense and Fire from the Buddha Country just kept rushing towards me non-stop. I couldn't even refuse it or block it, so I used the Power of Incense and Fire to condense an Immortal Body."

"And I also captured Si Chen God Lord with this Immortal Body."

"However, this Immortal Body was temporarily condensed and can't leave the Buddha Country. Once I returned to our Great Xia, my realm reverted back to normal."

"What good deeds have you done, so much so that the Power of Incense was enough to condense an Immortal Body and dig out the Worldly Venerable of Buddhism?"

Lu Yang grinned and gave Elder Brother Dai a thumbs-up, "They don't say Elder Brother Dai is the backbone of Seek Dao Sect for nothing; accurate to a tee."

Elder Brother Dai took Lu Yang's banter as mere jest, and waved him off impatiently, his mind relieved from not seeing and worrying, "Go, go, go, if you refuse to explain, just leave it be. Quickly send Si Chen God Lord to Captive Peak."

"Alright."

Lu Yang briskly left the Task Hall, making his way familiarly into Captive Peak.

The inmates in Captive Peak who had been chatting, quieted down immediately upon seeing Lu Yang. They hastily bowed their heads, not daring to meet Lu Yang's gaze, afraid of making eye contact.

The Child Grandmaster floated over with a cheerful laugh, "Little Lu is here, eh? What sort of person did you catch this time?"

"Hmm, I caught four, and this one is Si Chen God Lord of Great Qian, a Semi-Immortal."

Lu Yang moved Si Chen God Lord out from the Spiritual Space, not worried about Si Chen God Lord waking up and causing trouble with the initial form of Time Dao Fruit, as the Time Immortal had already used the Time Dao Fruit to lock down the capabilities of Si Chen God Lord's Dao Fruit Outline.

Now, Si Chen God Lord seemed no different from one who was at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

"A Semi-Immortal, not bad, not bad." With even Immortals detained here, Grandmaster, upon seeing a Semi-Immortal, found it unsurprising.

He even thought Si Chen God Lord was apprehended by Yun Zhi.

Then, Lu Yang moved Qing Yan Venerable, at Early Tribulation Stage, Duan Qingshui, at Early Integration Stage, and Mo Xiaochou, at Mid-stage of Transforming Spirit, from the Green Peak Sword.

The three were frightened as Lu Yang gripped them and they sensed the realm of Captive Peak's prisoners, shivering.

No word spread over the years about Seek Dao Sect capturing any Great Power, so why were Captive Peak's prisoners so terrifying?

"Eldest Senior Sister will come over to interrogate Si Chen God Lord."

Lu Yang transmitted to Grandmaster, "Grandmaster, once it's your turn, please interrogate Duan Qingshui and Mo Xiaochou. These two attempted theft at Western Paradise Temple; if there are no other cases against them, it shouldn't extend to a death penalty. At worst, they'd be imprisoned for several decades or centuries."

Lu Yang was not worried that these two would reveal his affairs upon their release.

By the time these two were released, it would be many years later, and by then, it was likely already widely known.

"Alright, no need to bother with the rest." Grandmaster detained these four in the prison cells, and as he observed the increasingly insufficient cells, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Seeing new faces, the curious prisoners of Captive Peak gathered. Qing Yan Venerable was somewhat better, having an acceptable cultivation level. Duan Qingshui and Mo Xiaochou were not; especially Mo Xiaochou, who was at the bottom, causing the prisoners to shake their heads and show disdain.

"What kind of cultivation are you two practicing? Were your techniques picked from a trash heap?"

"This spiritual essence circulation route is also wrong; there are so many errors."

"Come here, I'll teach you how to cultivate properly."

The prisoners of Captive Peak were often bored, having nothing better to do; they might as well teach the newcomers how to cultivate.

Duan Qingshui and Mo Xiaochou, flattered, listened attentively.

...

In the Mysterious Land, a silhouette sat on a throne built of dry bones, pondering the freshly received intelligence, eyes gradually brightening; the hidden affairs behind this intelligence were no small matter.

"Mysterious Immortal, multiple self-detonations, could it be that the Eternity Dao Fruit has emerged?!"

"Who is this Mysterious Immortal, is it Immortal? Has Immortal been resurrected? Who did it, Ying Tian, Suiyue, them?"

The figure quickly calmed down, realizing something was amiss.

"No, according to the descriptions of Ying Tian, Suiyue, and others, if it were the Eternity Dao Fruit, the self-detonation power would have been greater."

"Plus, Ying Tian, Suiyue, and the others have no reason to resurrect Immortal; if Immortal were resurrected, how could they obtain the Eternity Dao Fruit?"

"Could it be the Initial Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit?"

At that thought, the figure stood excitedly and paced, "The Initial Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, the Initial Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit has finally appeared!"

"It's just unfortunate that when the Eternity Sect first condensed the Initial Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, they planned to wait a while to allow the Immortal to increase the consummation of the Initial Form, and that's when they lost the initiative, disturbed by Yun Zhi of Seek Dao Sect, and even had their clone killed."

"If I had acted earlier, the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit would have been in my hands already!"

"If I had acquired the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, even if I faced the Silent Extermination Immortal, I would have a chance to escape!"

"However, that Mysterious Immortal is a bit strange; the body is condensed from the incense of Buddha's Country, which means he isn't an Immortal yet."

"That's good, not being an Immortal is good."
