Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 149: Ancient Transcendent Tribulation Cultivator

“Hold on, there’s something off about the ‘Rules’ here.” Yun Zhi furrowed her brow. She had sensed something amiss the moment she struck. Her palm strike should have shattered the rules in this place, yet they’d only appeared to dissipate on the surface. Even if she had held back her strength, it still didn’t make sense.

“There are two types of ‘Rules’ here.” Yun Zhi figured out the reason. The first set of rules was written with clouds, but something strange happened, and the second set of rules that was written with blood emerged.

The two sets of rules conflict, throwing the whole cave into disarray! Someone has deliberately caused this chaos to prevent anyone from leaving. Moreover, the external set of rules can compete with the original set of rules, which implies that the person who left behind the second set of rules is more powerful than the cave domain’s master.

And the Three-Tenets True Person is already at the Apex Fusion Stage.

“Heh, who dares disturb the slumber of this venerable one?”

The sound of ice cracking reverberated through the cave, and an overpowering aura wave burst forth from the other end of the path, as if a sovereign from the nine heavens had descended and was looking down at the world with indifference. Rays of light pierced through the firmament, while one’s heart palpitated as the aura waves grew increasingly stronger, like it could sweep through everything in its way.

“Basic Transcendent Tribulation Stage.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy quickly ascertained his cultivation realm.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s expressions shifted drastically. Basic Transcendent Tribulation Stage? This is the most formidable opponent we’ve ever encountered. Why is there a Transcendent Tribulation expert in a Fusion cultivator’s cave domain?

With the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s extensive knowledge, she soon figured out the reason. “It’s very simple. This cave domain is an ideal hiding spot, so awakening here allows a safe harbor to restore their strength gradually. However, the downside is that they can’t detect changes in the outside world promptly. For instance, the Three-Tenets True Person could sense the changes in spirit opportunities and wake up in Buyi Town, but this Transcendent Tribulation cultivator here may not awake even long after the battle of the Great Era concludes.

“Therefore, he came up with a clever plan. Since the Three-Tenets True Person can awaken in time, after he awakens, he will inevitably return to the cave domain. When he discovers changes to the ‘Rules,’ he’ll take action, triggering the awakening of this Transcendent Tribulation cultivator.

“He also established a new set of rules in this cave domain to ensure that those who accidentally enter this place would lose their lives so that they wouldn’t disturb his slumber.”

Lu Yang broke out in cold sweat, surprised by the complex web of factors at play.

“Aiya, what are you scared of? I can easily trample a mere Basic Transcendent Tribulation cultivator dead.” Huang Doudou boasted shamelessly. Anyway, with Yun Zhi around, she’ll take care of everything.

“I am the Blood Devil Venerable Lord. Who are you? State your name.” The Blood Devil Venerable Lord eyed Yun Zhi coldly. To have broken the rules with such ease, she has to be at least at the Basic Transcendent Tribulation Stage too. But so what? He was confident that he could still hold his own even if he faced off with an Intermediate Transcendent Tribulation cultivator.

“Blood Devil Venerable Lord?!” Meng Jingzhou exclaimed softly.

“You know him?” Lu Yang asked.

“Yes, I do.” As Transcendent Tribulation cultivators were few in existence, every one of them earned a place in the historical records, so Meng Jingzhou had heard of the Blood Devil Venerable Lord’s title. When he couldn’t fall asleep as a child, his mother would often frighten him with stories of the Blood Devil Venerable Lord.

“The Blood Devil Venerable Lord is a diabolic cultivator who has slaughtered countless people. Legend says that he wrote the names of all the cities on pieces of paper and rolled them into balls. Whichever he picked, he would use the people of that city to cultivate. His cultivation journey is paved with bones!

“He also once supported a Yu emperor and became the imperial preceptor, wielding immense power over the Great Yu Dynasty. For some reason, he subsequently vanished. Some say that he died under a lightning tribulation due to his evil deeds, but from the looks of it now, he has been hiding here all this while!”

Yun Zhi announced, “Yun Zhi of the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

The Blood Devil Venerable Lord was puzzled by Yun Zhi’s lack of reaction. Was my name not passed down to this era? That doesn’t matter. I’ll just unleash carnage to remind the world of my name.

In contrast to Fusion cultivators, Transcendent Tribulation cultivators would swiftly return to their peak after awakening.

A blood-colored titan roared as it rose to the sky. It turned the “Rules” into axes that casually swung them. The whole space shook, as if the cave domain could crumble under its might.

Yun Zhi raised one hand before her chest, radiating boundless golden light. She looked like a Bodhisattva stepping out of a mural, holy and inviolable. With a push of her palm, the beams of golden light pierced through the darkness toward the blood-colored titan.

The blood-colored titan blocked it with the two axes formed from the “Rules,” but they gradually dissolved under the golden light, along with the hardened shell of the blood-colored titan.

Blood drained from the Blood Devil Venerable Lord’s face. “No way, you’re not at the Basic Transcendent Tribulation Stage!”

Tearing space apart, he turned on his heels. A battle with an Intermediate Transcendent Tribulation cultivator will not end so quickly. It’s not worth recklessly provoking such an enemy for the sake of pride. After ripping the space apart, I will be randomly transported to somewhere in the world, and they’ll never be able to find me.

The Blood Devil Venerable Lord was just about to cackle loudly and talk tough when he saw a graceful figure walking over in the brilliant golden light. Although her steps appeared to be slow, they were actually at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, she was already standing before him.

“Wait, you’re not at the Intermediate Transcendent Tribulation Stage at all. Even Advanced Transcendent Tribulation cultivators don’t possess your level of techniques. You’re at the Apex Transcendent Tribulation Stage or perhaps even—”

“You know too much,” Yun Zhi replied frigidly.

Clasping her hands together, she squashed out the Blood Devil Venerable Lord’s soul. A Transcendent Tribulation cultivator’s physical body is an excellent material for crafting artifacts. I must be careful not to crush it.

Yun Zhi took out a Jade Cleansing Bottle[1] and trapped the Blood Devil Venerable Lord’s soul within, planning to interrogate and torture him slowly after returning to the sect.

The entire process was as effortless as the light breeze in the cave domain, looking like nothing had transpired.

The lions and antelopes danced in pairs, working hard to prove that they were good demon beasts that had harmonious relationships with each other, while the elephants lay on their back with their limbs pointed upward in an attempt to feign death.

“Looks like ancient Transcendent Tribulation cultivators may hide within cave domains,” Yun Zhi mused to herself. This is a possibility I haven’t considered before. I have to inform the four other immortal sects and the Great Xia Dynasty after we leave this cave domain.

“Let’s go,” Yun Zhi said lightly as she strode gracefully toward the exit.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou exchanged glances with each other and hurried to catch up with her. There was no danger along the way, or at least, that was how it seemed to the two of them.

However, it was a completely different story for the demon beasts—a fearsome great devil queen with a chilling aura led her two attendants to roam the cave domain wantonly, spreading terror and instilling fear in their wake.

When the trio reached the end, they saw several enormous golden treasure chests and piles of spirit stones, where premium-grade spirit stones were in greater numbers than high-grade spirit stones. It was a treasure trove that made one drool. Not only were the Three-Tenets True Person’s treasures here, some of the Blood Devil Venerable Lord items also lay here.

Yun Zhi opened the golden treasure chests, revealing a dazzling assortment of natural treasures and secret manuals. Even with Meng Jingzhou’s experience, he struggled to identify the origins of these treasures in such a short time.

However, Yun Zhi could easily determine the items’ names and functions. “Dragon Transformation Grass. If a jiao dragon consumes and refines this, it can increase its chance of becoming a dragon by thirty percent.” Transforming into a dragon was a jiao dragon’s lifelong dream, so it was obvious how valuable this item was.

“Bodhi Fruit. Ingesting this can enhance one’s wisdom root at the expense of permanently losing their hair.

“Red Sun Vajra Sand. It is an essential ingredient for crafting high-grade fire-type magical treasures.

“Liuli-Glazed Heavenly Cleansed Water. Applying it to your whole body can preserve your physical form for a hundred thousand years.

“A Fusion demon beast’s inner core...

“A Fusion dragon’s tendon...

“Blissful union powder...” [2]

There seems to be quite the collection of treasures with “-ion” in them. [3]

1. A magical item belonging to Guanyin in Journey to the West. ☜

2. This is often depicted as an aphrodisiac for bedroom affairs. The first character in Chinese shares the same first character for “Fusion Stage.” ☜

3. To be more accurate, all the items have the character “合(he)” in them. I could only squeeze out the “-ion.” ☜
