Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 493: Young Creed Leader Lu

“Heavenly Court Creed?”

The gathered guests gasped in unison upon hearing the young man announce his identity.

If the hottest topic among low-level cultivators these past two months had been speculating tournament victors, then high-level cultivators were consumed by endless discussions of Dou Heavenly Sovereign, who had showed up during the Hanshui City battle and proclaimed to be the Heavenly Court Creed’s Supreme Grand Heavenly Sovereign.

This was the first immortal to have appeared in public since the Four Ancient Immortals. Be it Great Qian, Great Yu, or even Great Xia, all had legends of immortals keeping watch within the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace, yet none had ever seen them.

The appearance of Dou Heavenly Sovereign had sent shockwaves through the outside world. Whether it was those at the Fusion or the Transcendent Tribulation stages, all were debating about the identity of Dou Heavenly Sovereign and the nature of the Heavenly Court Creed. Theories abounded, but no consensus had yet to be reached.

Some claimed the Heavenly Court Creed was an ancient organization that had only recently awakened. Others posited that it had existed since ancient times, lurking in the shadows of history all this time and manipulating the rise and fall of dynasties as the mastermind behind the scenes.

No one expected the Heavenly Court Creed to appear uninvited at the imperial court’s tournament and the 120,000-year celebration of the Dao-Seeking Sect with such brazen audacity. The more perceptive ones had already detected the thick scent of gunpowder in this bold move.

The Heavenly Court Creed has come with ill intentions.

“Who are you?” As the acting sect leader, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy demanded sharply by controlling Lu Yang’s body. Her tone carried an undercurrent of decisive, lethal intent.

The Heavenly Court Creed youth stood calmly on the arena stage, showing no fear despite being surrounded by belligerent experts. Instead, he cupped his fists and spoke clearly. “You must be the rising star, Sect Leader Lu Yang—renowned at a young age with solid foundations. If you had competed, you would have easily clinched first place. What a coincidence—we share the same family name. My surname is also Lu, and I’m our creed’s young creed leader.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy narrowed her eyes, ignoring his flattery as her voice turned frosty. “So it’s Young Creed Leader Lu. May I ask why you have come to our Dao-Seeking Sect and disrupted our tournament? And what business do those few individuals in the sky have here?”

Dark clouds loomed above the arena stage, upon which stood five solemn figures as imposing as ghost gods.

“I am the Heavenly Court Creed’s protector, Nether World Heavenly King.” Ominous black energy emanated from him as if he had awakened from an ancient tomb, resurrected with the grievances of the dead to bring ceaseless calamity to the world.

“I am the Heavenly Court Creed’s protector, Hundred Herbs Heavenly King.” The scent of medicinal herbs wafted from him. One whiff was enough to discern it was extraordinary and could only result from prolonged exposure to Little Herb Kings.

“I am the Heavenly Court Creed’s protector, Unbreakable Heavenly King.” He resembled the arhats with golden bodies in Buddhist sects’ lore, or perhaps he was the inspiration for those arhats! His physique was powerful without a single weak point—the pinnacle of a physique cultivator.

“I am the Heavenly Court Creed’s protector, Myriad Treasures Heavenly King.” Strings of magical treasures hung at his waist, and the most conspicuous was a top-tier magical treasure that even Transcendent Tribulation cultivators covet. It contained an artifact spirit refined from a Transcendent Tribulation soul—utterly terrifying!

“I am the Heavenly Court Creed’s protector, Golden Flame Heavenly King.” Golden flames occasionally surged around him—not one of the 108 True Fires but seemingly a fusion of them all, elevating true fire to unprecedented heights.

The five figures stood like insurmountable mountains, their auras aged as if they hailed from ancient times. Despite their ancient aura, anyone could see these heavenly kings were in their prime, far from being old and perhaps not even at their peak yet.

“I feel like these five haven’t reached the Transcendent Tribulation Stage. Why are our old ancestors not intercepting them?” The Qi-Commanding Sect Leader whispered, particularly sensitive to auras.

The One-Qi Venerable Lord’s glare scared the Qi-Commanding Sect Leader. The latter immediately knew he had misspoken and kept silent.

Only then did the One-Qi Venerable Lord explain through an auditory message. “You think you’re smarter than all the Transcendent Tribulation cultivators present?”

“Please enlighten me, old ancestor.”

“Are you aware that one must pass the River Spirit’s trial before they can enter the Dao-Seeking Sect? The River Spirit’s methods rival a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator’s. Anyone who slipped past definitely wasn’t relying on methods at the Fusion Stage.

“Do you think the Heavenly Court Creed figures that have shown themselves are the only members here? In my opinion, at least one half-immortal from the Heavenly Court Creed is lurking in the shadows. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

“Moreover, the Dao-Seeking Sect mentioned they have methods to deal with half-immortals, yet they haven’t acted. I’m afraid it’s the worst-case scenario—Dou Heavenly Sovereign is also here, perhaps right under our noses, unnoticed by everyone!”

The Qi-Commanding Sect Leader shuddered, a chill running down his spine.

“Pardon our discourtesy,” rumbled the Nether World Heavenly King, who appeared to be the leader of the heavenly kings.

As the five heavenly kings descended, the crowd scattered in fear and hastily cleared a space, none daring to approach them. Under their terrifying aura waves, some prodigies could barely remain standing.

Young Creed Leader Lu smiled as if he was oblivious to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s hostility. “Ever since I’ve awakened from my slumber since ancient times, I have yet to meet my match at the same cultivation realm. By chance, I heard of the tournament at your esteemed sect, so I came to join in the excitement. Please forgive us for coming uninvited, Sect Leader Lu.”

Slumber since ancient times? The crowd was stunned again by this revelation. The Heavenly Court Creed indeed hails from the ancient era!

Glancing at the two prodigies on stage, Young Creed Leader Lu added, “These two are at the Intermediate Golden Core Stage, and coincidentally, so am I. Let me face them as my opponents. Should I lose, our creed will leave, but if I win, it will prove my strength, and we shall stay. Would that be acceptable?”

“One against two? You certainly talk big, Young Creed Leader Lu.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy snorted. “But refusing your challenge would tarnish Great Xia’s magnanimous reputation. Fine, if you win this match, you shall be granted a spot in the tournament. However, if you lose, get out of the Dao-Seeking Sect at once!” Toward the end, her tone became laced with killing intent.

The prodigies in the audience inwardly cheered, wishing they could applaud. Young Creed Leader Lu is arrogant and overbearing, speaking as if we prodigies were beneath him. However, in the face of such a formidable Heavenly Court Creed, Sect Leader Lu shows no fear and even threatens them.

This courage alone surpasses all of us!

“Well said, Sect Leader Lu! I, Qiu Jin’an, agree with Sect Leader Lu. Since antiquity, winners reign, losers flee. If you lose, crawl back wherever you came from!”

The leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects and the Eldest Prince stepped forth to support the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

Seeing these six major factions of the righteous faction join hands against a common foe, the crowd clenched their fists in exhilaration.

Only Meng Jingzhou stared at the so-called Young Creed Leader Lu with dead-fish eyes throughout this whole time.

The Eldest Prince was on tenterhooks. It’s my first time doing something like this. I didn’t give myself away, did I?

Anyway, why do those from the Five Great Immortal Sects seem so practiced at this?
