Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 80: Stars and Continent

Branch Leader Chu’s words stunned the three of them, especially Lu Yang, who began to draw many associations.

Back when I joined the Dao-Seeking Sect, they had given me a rough map of the sect, and it stated that the Dao-Seeking Sect spanned one million li. What's one million li? That's even larger than putting ten Earths together and unfurling them!

But then again, if I think of the Void Refinement and Fusion experts described in the books, it does seem reasonable. Only such an enormous place can allow them to unleash their wondrous abilities without restraint.

There are many forbidden areas in the sect, and most of them are used for battles between cultivation experts. Even going close to the periphery can be deadly for those with low cultivation.

When I joined the sect, Big Senior Sister had said ‘Everything about the sect can't be explained in a few sentences. You will gradually explore and find out in the future.’ It's not because she was too lazy to introduce the sect to me but because the Dao-Seeking is so huge that one needs to explore slowly.

Now that I think about it, the Dao-Seeking Sect could have been formed from planets! But the land it occupies is only a corner of the Central Continent. It's hard to imagine how vast the Central Continent actually is!

Branch Leader Chu continued, “In ancient times, stars with life existed in the tens of thousands or even more than that. We can no longer verify the exact number.

“The cultivators didn't have to rely on magical treasures to reach the Divine Transfiguration Stage, and they could fly from one star to another. At the time, one could see damaged stars throughout the universe, which were the aftermath of battles between cultivators!

“The splendor of ancient times is truly fascinating. Numerous legends were born, and many formidable cultivators were fostered. Back then, when the cultivation experts compared their strength, they would see how many stars one could destroy in one strike. When they compared their influence, they would see how many living stars one controlled.

“At the peak of their prosperity, a certain entity acted. They refined the universe of stars into one gargantuan continent. Regardless of whether a star was living, none of them could escape from his grasp.

“The reason for the vibrant life on the Central Continent is because this used to be a living celestial body, a place best suited for cultivation! To the east of the Central Continent, the vast ocean was once a celestial body covered by seawater. To the west of the Central Continent, the Golden Buddhist Kingdom was once a bleak, uninhabitable celestial body. The same logic applies to the Demon Region in the south and the Extreme North.”

Branch Leader Chu had undoubtedly overturned the trio’s understanding of the world. They had never imagined that the land beneath their feet was once a star that had been refined!

“Who exactly refined the stars?” Lu Yang asked.

Branch Leader Chu shook his head, not because Lu Yang’s position wasn’t high enough but because he truly didn’t know the answer. “There’s no way to verify their true identity, but one thing is certain: That Entity was definitely an immortal!”

Such extraordinary power is beyond something a Transcendent Cultivator is capable of!

“Why That Entity wanted to refine the stars into a continent and what methods were used remain a mystery. However, we can be sure of one thing: That Entity’s methods in refining the stars were extremely brutal and lacked benevolence. With their manipulation of the stars, how many of those living on them could have survived? Even ordinary cultivators found it a struggle to stay alive. For those who managed to survive, it’s not because of their high cultivation but due to sheer luck!

“When the proud geniuses and formidable figures rose up to resist, they were all beaten into a bloody fog and forced into the cycle of reincarnation. Fortunately, the Everlasting Immortal intervened and saved most of the human race, preventing the extinction of humankind.

“The flourishing Great Era that was at its pinnacle was annihilated and crumbled away. For the longest time ever, not a single talent could be seen.

“There is no way to find out where That Entity is now, but they are certainly not dead. Who knows if That Entity would suddenly appear? If they unleashed an all-out massacre then, who can stop them?

“Only the Everlasting Immortal!

“That is why for both public and personal reasons, we have to resurrect the Everlasting Immortal! Reviving the Everlasting Immortal will only cause the death of a small number of people, but if we don’t revive the Everlasting Immortal, maybe the entire human race will be wiped out!

“Those detestable people from the righteous path think they're on the side of justice, but they don't know that the Everlasting Creed is the one sacrificing ourselves for the sake of the human race!” Branch Leader Chu’s tone was firm, his eyes glinting with resolve.

From the standpoint of the greater good, we kill people to save everyone else. From a personal standpoint, we have a justifiable reason for killing people, so we can kill without qualms. The reason the Everlasting Creed only recruits those from the diabolic path is precisely because this philosophy can resonate the most with the mindsets of diabolic cultivators.

Lu Yang was astonished. Just listening to what Branch Leader Chu said can really make a person madly believe in the Everlasting Immortal and pray for the immortal’s salvation.

But what he said may not be true, or perhaps they’re only part of the truth. Lu Yang didn’t believe that the Dao-Seeking Sect was completely oblivious to the matters of ancient times, and neither did he believe that Yun Zhi was completely unprepared.

Meng Jingzhou asked, “If that’s the case, why not cooperate with the righteous path? Wouldn’t it be easier to succeed with everyone working together?”

Branch Leader Chu sneered. “Who can guarantee that the entity who refined the stars isn’t hiding within the righteous path? After a series of investigations, the creed founder thinks that That Entity is within the righteous path, either among the Five Great Immortal Sects or within the Great Xia Dynasty.

“Why does the righteous path advocate for order? Isn’t it to allow more people to cultivate and for the Central Continent to flourish more? But what comes after prosperity? Don’t forget the painful history from the end of the ancient era. Maybe That Entity likes to harvest lives and they’re waiting for life to thrive again to make their move once more!” Branch Leader Chu voiced the mainstream view of the Everlasting Creed.

He added, “The stars above us may seem to be hanging in the sky, but if you reach a certain cultivation and fly to the universe to take a look, you’ll find that they are merely remnant shadows from ancient times. In theory, there should be some stars that slipped through the net, but they will certainly be rare.” Branch Leader Chu had told them so much because he hoped that the trio would sincerely believe in the Everlasting Immortal.

Seeing how astounded they are, there should be no problem.

“Alright, I know this information has been overwhelming. Go back and digest them.

“In addition, you three performed well in the three rounds of trial. The branch is currently in need of people. However, most people are resting in the prison cells. Since you have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and meet the requirements to become an administrator, after some consideration, I have decided to promote you to administrators.”

Branch Leader Chu gave each of them a tablet, representing their status as an administrator.

In fact, Branch Leader Chu had intended for the trio to become administrators from the beginning. Only administrators were qualified to learn what he had shared with them earlier. He advised, “If you have the time, you can visit your fellow members. I heard that the food in prison isn’t good. Bringing them some food can help with building rapport.”

The diabolic path only cares about self-interest but also makes clear distinctions between favors and grudges. If those beneath me get too tangled up in internal strife and schemes, I won’t have an easy time as branch leader.

However, what Branch Leader Chu was worried about was not the subordinates scheming against the trio but rather that they would be tormented to death by the trio.

Lu Yang’s face was wreathed in smiles. “We are all brothers from the same creed. We will definitely unite as one and work together to resurrect the Everlasting Immortal. Please rest assured, Branch Leader.”

For some reason, Branch Leader Chu felt even more uneasy after hearing that.
