Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1327 - 1326: Where is Yun Zhi’s Hometown?

Breaking through to the Late Tribulation Stage, Lu Yang felt no great fluctuation in his emotions, having experienced the immense power of this stage countless times before. He needed no adaptation; he could control this power immediately upon breakthrough, even stronger than those veterans of the Late Tribulation Stage.

The most satisfying part of this breakthrough was the change in the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype, which was vaguely hinting at consummation, making its use far more efficient and fluid.

Lu Yang walked out of his abode, and what entered his view was a sea of flowers. He remembered these were the flower fields planted by Yun Mengmeng and Qinghe, covering the entirety of Sky Gate Mountain with twelve flower patches in total, always blooming whenever he exited seclusion to celebrate his breakthrough.

Yun Mengmeng lay in the flower field, legs crossed, humming an unnamed tune, relaxed and comfortable.

Hearing the movements from the abode, she flipped up from the ground energetically. Although she clearly lay amidst the flowers, her clothes were as fresh as new, not a speck of dirt on them - if anything, she only carried the scent of flowers.

"Second-in-command, you’ve made another breakthrough, and you’ve been closed off for quite a while this time."

"Has it been long?"

"Yes, it’s been almost half a year, and there have been big changes in the outside world."

Lu Yang noticed that Yun Mengmeng held a flat device in her hands, which she was looking at while lying on the ground.

"What’s this?"

"This? This is a Quantum Communication Device, the latest model. It can make calls, video calls, and even connect to the internet." Yun Mengmeng had recently taken a liking to this device; there were many fun things online.

"Look at the livestream I’m watching."

Yun Mengmeng activated the Quantum Communication Device, and on the screen appeared Ancestor Guiyuan.

Ancestor Guiyuan and the other three founders of the Immortal Sects stood with Great Snow Mountain behind them, and the backdrop was the cosmic starry sky.

"Daoist friends, hit the follow button. If the follower count exceeds fifty billion, I’ll tell you how the Guiyi Tao Fruit Prototype was comprehended."

The follower count was visibly increasing, rewards on the screen flooded in, and people were kneeling to request other Semi-Immortals to show their faces and give lectures; the atmosphere was lively.

"Who is this old man, why so many followers?"

"Seeking answers. This account is just three days old. How could it have so many followers? Did they buy them?"

"This Daoist is not from our Cultivation World, right? This is a real big shot of our Cultivation World. Search ’Celestial Master Guiyuan’ online; it will certainly amaze you."

"...What is the Ancestor up to?"

"He’s livestreaming their exploration of the universe."

Lu Yang looked bemused. No matter how he looked, Great Snow Mountain felt familiar - wasn’t that the one behind Sky Gate Mountain where Chasing Moon True Person lived?

He turned his head toward the back mountains; the space was empty, Great Snow Mountain had disappeared.

Yun Mengmeng scrolled further, and there was a livestream by the Transcendence Tribulation Stage Supreme Elder of Control Qi Sect.

"As the number of viewers in the livestream room exceeds ten million, I will take you inside the sun for a tour. Oops, the communicator melted..."

The livestream was interrupted.

"This is called the internet, transferred here from the Interstellar Alliance. Oh right, Second-in-command, you were the first one to go to the Interstellar Alliance; you know about these."

"Now, the Cultivation World, Interstellar Alliance, and Candle Sky Civilization are all connected to the internet."

Lu Yang touched his forehead, torn between laughter and tears. It seemed the Cultivation World had made big strides in development, and these old forerunners were quite open to embracing these novelties, even enjoying themselves.

In the past, his seclusion periods were short, and upon reentry, he noticed no significant changes outside; everything remained as it used to be. This time around, coming out of seclusion, he finally understood what the predecessors meant when they said "the world transforms dramatically, and everything changes."

"Is Eldest Senior Sister around?"

"A few days ago, Xiao Zhi went back to her native home; she hasn’t returned yet."

"Where is Miss Yun’s hometown, anyway?" Immortal Fairy asked, always hearing about Miss Yun going back to her hometown, but never knowing where it actually was.

Immortal Fairy was very curious about Yun Zhi’s hometown, wanting to know what kind of remarkable place could have nurtured such a prodigy like Yun Zhi.

"It’s in Shu State..." Yun Mengmeng replied instinctively, then quickly covered her mouth. Xiao Zhi had repeatedly warned her not to reveal the location of their hometown, or else she would be in trouble.

Yun Mengmeng covered her mouth and vigorously shook her head, whining something that, because her mouth was covered, Lu Yang couldn’t hear clearly, but it seemed to be something like "I didn’t say anything."

"Oh, I can’t say?" Immortal Fairy smirked, feeling that digging deeper into this matter would be interesting.

"I command you as the Chief Housekeeper, speak!"

Yun Mengmeng continued to shake her head vigorously, torn between Xiao Zhi and the Chief Housekeeper.

"The Four Ancient Immortals have come back, why don’t you go listen to their travel achievements, Chief Housekeeper?"

"There’s no hurry, it’s just showing off in front of people. Where is Miss Yun’s hometown?"

"The two immortals of Great Xia also came back."

"Oh, is that so? But where is Miss Yun’s hometown?"

Yun Mengmeng tried to divert the topic, but Immortal Fairy, whose curiosity was piqued, was not so easily appeased.

"Fairy, don’t make it hard for Sister Mengmeng, can’t you see she doesn’t want to speak?" Lu Yang stepped in to help Yun Mengmeng.

"Hey, Little Yang, whose side are you on!" Immortal Fairy crossed her arms and glared, having almost persuaded Yun Mengmeng to reveal the location.

"Everyone here is family, there aren’t sides."

"Don’t you want to know where Miss Yun’s hometown is?"

Lu Yang fell silent for a moment; he too was curious about where Eldest Senior Sister’s hometown was.

"...I do want to know, but if Sister Mengmeng doesn’t want to say, don’t make it difficult for her. Fairy, if you really want to know, just wait for Eldest Senior Sister to come back and ask her."

Immortal Fairy huffed and turned her head away, knowing that asking Miss Yun would surely result in no answer.

Seeing the two argue, Yun Mengmeng didn’t know how to handle such a situation, feeling flustered. The Second-in-command clearly wanted to help her by directly opposing the Chief Housekeeper.

The Second-in-command was so good to her; should she reciprocate somehow?

She bit her lip lightly, and finally made up her mind, stammering, "Actually, I can take you to my hometown, my mother-in-law will definitely welcome you."

...

Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

This is Yun Zhi and Yun Mengmeng’s hometown, filled with peach trees and fragrant peach blossoms, resembling a mortal’s vision of paradise.

Dust-free Eldest Senior Sister visits her mother-in-law.

Although called mother-in-law, her appearance was of a woman in her early twenties, sitting with Yun Zhi, they looked less like elder and junior, more like sisters.

The mother-in-law set down the Enlightenment Tea, smiling warmly, "Sounds like there have been many changes outside, the Cultivation World has opened, entering the actual universe, even witnessing several Immortal Battles happen."

"Mother-in-law knows you’re very capable, but you must be careful out there, don’t let anyone hurt you."

Yun Zhi nodded noncommittally, unsure whether to say ’I’ll be careful’ or ’No one can hurt me.’

"Speaking of which, that boy Lu Yang you often mention sounds very interesting, and seems to have a good relationship with Mengmeng, when will you bring him here for me to meet?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to bring him, but the Junior Brother is diligently cultivating, often in seclusion, and can’t find the time to come over."
