Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 327: Dou Heavenly Sovereign’s Personal Disciple

“Hey, believe it or not, the taste is honestly great!” Shi Huagu was stunned. Savoring every bite, he could discern a flavor produced by searing with true fire.

Could this really have been roasted with true fire? It was his first time encountering a barbeque shop using true fire. What extravagance.

Upon remembering how it had taken him three attempts before he finally entered the barbeque shop, he could feel his blood boil. After polishing off three jin of lamb skewers, he wiped his mouth and barked, “Ten kidney skewers!”

The surrounding diners stared at Shi Huagu in astonishment. Regular skewers can already boost one’s yang virility. Yet, you ordered ten skewers from the yang boosting virility edition? How is this different from consuming aphrodisiacs?

But who was Shi Huagu? He was an Advanced Fusion expert. This level of yang-enhancing effects was insignificant to him.

Huo Huashen and Zhou Shan ate until their mouths glistened with grease. We’re so lucky to follow Shi Huagu. We don’t have to fork out money during outings and even get to indulge in such delicacies.

However, after eating to their hearts’ content, the trio realized a problem. There was still some time until closing hours, and the members of the Heavenly Court Creed were busy serving the customers, unable to attend to them.

If we leave now, it’s not like we really came here to eat. But if we don’t leave, awkwardly sitting around with nothing to do won’t work.

“Say, do you think those three sitting here after eating might be trying to skip out on the bill?” Meng Jingzhou whispered. It’s my first time encountering dine-and-dashers.

Li Haoran replied through an auditory message. “I don’t know the two flanking him, but the one in the middle who ate the most is Shi Huagu, formerly a vice creed leader. That said, I’m not sure if he was promoted after Qin Haoran died.”

Meng Jingzhou’s face brightened. “The people from the Nine-Netherworlds Creed have finally come?”

Qin Yanyan dared not utter a word. These three seemed to have come last night...but I drove them away.

In the backyard, two automated barbecue grills operated at full capacity. By incorporating Fifth Elder’s design, they not only automated the barbecuing process but also significantly enhanced its efficiency.

The barbeque grill’s bookshelf-like structure consisted of four tiers, each filled with slowly rotating skewers sizzling under the searing true fire.

Through Fifth Elder’s dedicated research, he finally merged the Three Flavor True Fire and Pure Yang True Fire, transforming them into a fire seed for barbecuing. The customer traffic over the past few days also proved the success of Fifth Elder’s research outcomes.

“Fifth Elder, the people from the Nine-Netherworlds Creed have arrived,” Lu Yang informed Fifth Elder, who was squatting on the floor and brainstorming ideas on how to improve the automated barbeque grill.

“Got it.”

Only after the barbeque shop closed for the day and the last customer had departed, did the shop reveal its true identity—a base of the Heavenly Court Creed.

A table distinctly separated the two factions. Shi Huagu represented the Nine-Netherworlds Creed, while Lu Yang represented the Heavenly Court Creed.

“Meeting the Heavenly Court Creed is truly not easy.” Shi Huagu sneered, displeased with the treatment last night and this morning.

Lu Yang didn’t understand where their resentment stemmed from and chose to ignore it. “You must be the renowned Fusion cultivator from the Nine-Netherworlds Creed, Shi Huagu.”

As a man stepped out behind Lu Yang, Shi Huagu’s relaxed demeanor instantly tensed.

He sensed intense danger from this individual. If we fight one-on-one, I may lose!

Lu Yang smiled. “Allow me to introduce one of the nine protectors of the Heavenly Court Creed. This is the fifth protector, Myriad Treasures Heavenly King. In the ancient era, his fame shook the world. Even my shifu praised his unique artifact-refining methods, pointing out his potential in crafting immortal artifacts. Have you heard of him, Creed Leader Shi?” No matter whether he’s the creed leader or a vice creed leader, addressing him as “creed leader” can’t go wrong.

Fifth Elder bowed. “Young Creed Leader, the Heavenly Sovereign was just jesting; you shouldn’t take those words seriously.”

Shi Huagu glanced at Zhou Shan, who subtly shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of the individual. Then, Shi Huagu cupped his fists, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Myriad Treasures. Alas, matters of the ancient era remain too distant for us. Much has been forgotten, and I haven’t had the opportunity to hear of your esteemed name.

“May I ask why you address him as ‘Young Creed Leader?’”

“Fellow Daoist Shi, you may not know this, but Lu Yiyang is the personal and only disciple of Dou Heavenly Sovereign. He is thus the undisputed successor to lead the Heavenly Court.”

Shi Huagu was stunned. Dou Heavenly Sovereign’s personal disciple? Dou Heavenly Sovereign was the first to become an immortal in the ancient era. Doesn’t this mean that Lu Yiyang is an immortal’s disciple? In terms of status, he might even be half a level above a Fusion cultivator like me!

Inside Lu Yang’s mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was hopping around in joy. “Lu Yang, I knew you’ve considered me as your shifu all along!”

Lu Yang, “...”

In the real world, after Lu Yang heard Shi Huagu mention that he hadn’t heard of 'Myriad Treasures Heavenly King’s distinguished name, he involuntarily let out a sigh. “Indeed, the ancient era is too distant from us now. When we first awakened, we also found that nothing stays constant in this world. Unrecognizable changes had occurred in the world. The stars vanished, refined into a boundless continent, and all familiar faces and objects are no longer around.” Lu Yang’s gaze turned profound and revealed a trace of loneliness, as if he was reminiscing about the ancient era.

Shi Huagu seized the chance to ask, “May I know who refined the stars?”

Lu Yang shook his head. “This happened after the Heavenly Court Creed entered our slumber, so we know not why. Our creed is currently searching for the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others to ask what transpired over these three hundred thousand years.

“Might the Nine-Netherworlds Creed possess any leads on immortals?”

How could Shi Huagu possibly know of the whereabouts of the other four immortals? He could only regretfully admit that he had no clue. Then, he signaled Zhou Shan with a glance to throw out some questions.

Zhou Shan pondered for a bit and cupped his fists. “My name is Zhou Shan. I encountered a few perplexing points while studying ancient history. Could any of you fellow Daoists help to clear my doubts?”

“We will definitely share all we know.”

“I heard that a great cultivator mastered Law Follows Words and was unbeatable among his peers at the same level in the ancient era. However, he eventually vanished without a trace. Regarding his whereabouts...”

Lu Yang smiled faintly. “I happen to know that senior. He was a formidable rival of my shifu on the path to immortal ascension. In the end, he lost to my shifu, and his soul disintegrated.”

He had heard the tale from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. After she ambushed the other party, the latter shouted, “I’m dying from the pain!” and triggered his own words to become the law, killing himself with his own words.

But if I say that, these people probably won’t believe me.

“Please elaborate.”

“That senior mastered a mighty ability, Law Follows Words, sealing the fate of his opponents in a split second. Out of a hundred battles, he won all hundred of them, but that was until he met my shifu.

“That day, my shifu ran into that senior, and both recognized each other as deadly foes, where holding back was tantamount to digging their own graves. Hence, they engaged in a fierce battle. Dao charm pulsated, immense powers surged, and the universe was silent.

“My shifu’s movements were unparalleled and elusive, leaving no traces. The senior thought victory would be impossible and activated Law Follows Words, shouting ‘...Die...’[1]

“Unexpectedly, it was completely useless against my shifu. Instead, it rebounded to that senior, and he perished due to the backlash.”

Shi Huagu was thunderstruck. Dou Heavenly Sovereign was already immune to Law Follows Words even before becoming an immortal? What unimaginable power is this?!

He had been paying close attention to Lu Yang’s pupils and heartbeat, and all signs pointed to the fact that the other party was speaking the truth!

1. The original sentence was supposed to be "I'm dying from the pain." ☜
