Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 147: Five Ancient Immortals
Chapter 147: Five Ancient Immortals
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy bristled with rage. “Everlasting” is a title I take pride in. How could a mere Fusion cultivator belittle it like this? “This immortal shall freeze you in ice marrow for ten thousand years, coat you in batter, then deep-fry you in oil!” she fiercely threatened.
Did you really think that immortals are easy to bully? I killed the one called Immortal Vanquisher True Person with a single poke of my finger. I don’t believe you can withstand the power of my finger!
“Calm down, don’t get yourself worked up.” Inside his mental space, Lu Yang held the Everlasting Immortal Fairy back, urging her to roll her sleeves back down.
This Fusion cultivator was called Three-Tenets True Person.[1] The information he shared was similar to what the Immortal Vanquisher True Person had confessed, the only valuable detail being the location of a cave domain. “The cave domain is really there. It contains my lifetime wealth. If you don’t believe me, you can go see for yourself. You’ll know that I’m speaking the truth then.
“However, I have set rules for that cave domain such that only those at the Foundation Establishment Stage or below can enter. That said, Foundation Establishment cultivators definitely can’t gain control of the cave domain. As long as you vow not to refine me, I’ll gift that cave to you!” The Three-Tenets True Person tried to issue a threat.
Yun Zhi didn’t agree to his terms, not intending to play along with him. Although the Dao-Seeking Sect refines souls, has an off-kilter ethos, and even recruited Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, we are still a righteous sect, so there are certain lines we mustn’t cross. That includes lying.
Yun Zhi led Lu Yang out of the prison and happened to run into the Grand Shifu and Meng Jingzhou, who were also just done with their interrogation.
Yun Zhi and the Grand Shifu corroborated the testimonies with each other and concluded that they were mostly consistent. The only discrepancy was that the Fusion cultivator the Grand Shifu had interrogated knew of someone called “Heaven Mandate Immortal.”
“The Heaven Mandate Immortal is in the East Sea, but I don’t know the exact location.”
Yun Zhi nodded, though this wasn’t any new information. Having caught numerous ancient Fusion cultivators and verifying it with ancient texts, she had long known that one of the ancient five immortals, the Heaven Mandate Immortal, was in the East Sea.
“Heaven Mandate Immortal?” This wasn’t Lu Yang’s first time hearing the name as the Everlasting Immortal had mentioned it a few times. According to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the Heaven Mandate Immortal is an immortal of comparable power to her. However, considering the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s strength and character, Lu Yang didn’t yet have an accurate understanding of the Heaven Mandate Immortal.
“The Heaven Mandate Immortal is in the East Sea? Let’s go! Take me there to look for him. With my name, I guarantee that you will be living the high life!” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy excitedly egged Lu Yang on, painting an unrealistic dream for him.
Lu Yang reminded, “Don’t forget how you died. Up until now, we still don’t know who killed you, but it must have been one of the four other immortals. Aren’t you afraid that it might be the Heaven Mandate Immortal?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy felt as if Lu Yang had doused her with a basin of cold water. As she calmed down, she murmured, “Pro-probably not? The Heaven Mandate Immortal was a pretty good person. He doesn’t look like someone with malicious intentions...”
“Then out of the four immortals, who do you suspect the most?”
The Everlasting Immortal fell silent. She didn’t feel that anyone could have killed her. Everyone appeared to be harmonious, and they were very polite toward me.
But I also must admit that my death had something to do with one of the four immortals.
“Then who do you think was capable of refining all the stars into a continent?” Lu Yang asked, thinking that it was a clue that could narrow the range of suspects for the Ancient Nameless One.
The Everlasting Immortal was clearly not on the same wavelength. “All five of us could.”
“...What the hell?!” Immortal Fairy, you are so powerful? Was I too casual with you previously?
Lu Yang finally realized that the term “immortal” was not just a cultivation realm but instead represented the lifelong pursuit of cultivators. It implied that they had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and possessed boundless power that could cover the sky with just one hand—refining the stars was nothing to them! The Everlasting Immortal Fairy hasn’t had the opportunity to showcase her power because she is still recovering!
Just then, Yun Zhi told Lu Yang, “The ancient immortals are the Heaven Mandate Immortal, Qilin Immortal, Epoch Immortal, and the Nine-Layers Immortal.”
For most people, immortals were lofty and inscrutable, with even an air of skepticism around their existence. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had only learned of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy through the Everlasting Creed.
However, at Yun Zhi’s position, she possessed far more knowledge than the common people, so the names of the four immortals were no secret to her. “The whereabouts of the four immortals are still unclear, but what we can be certain of is that the Heaven Mandate Immortal is in the East Sea, the Qilin Immortal is in the southern Demon Region, while the Epoch Immortal and Nine-Layers Immortal are unaccounted for.”
One of the immortals’ titles caught Lu Yang’s attention. “Qilin?” He recalled that one of the Little Herb Kings from the herb garden was the Qilin Immortality Herb.
Legends said that qilins didn’t exist and that the “qilin” ancient people saw were actually the Qilin Immortality Herb. Does the name “Qilin Immortal” mean that their original form is a qilin?
Noticing Lu Yang’s interest in the topic, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy explained, “The Qilin Immortal’s real name is Shihe, and his original form is indeed a qilin. According to him, he was a unique existence, born from the inconceivable convergence of the world’s fortune. In any case, there was only one qilin in my era. I am not sure about the current era, but there shouldn’t be a second qilin.”
In fact, before the Everlasting Immortal Fairy appeared, Yun Zhi had always thought there were only four immortals from ancient times; to be precise, everyone else thought so.
The most ancient of the Fusion cultivators imprisoned in Incarceration Peak could be traced back to the Great Qian era, which was over two hundred thousand years ago. According to him, there were only four immortals during the ancient era. This also matched with the ancient texts.
Before the inception of the Everlasting Creed, there was not a single record regarding the “Everlasting Immortal Fairy” in history! After the Everlasting Creed emerged, cultivators believed that they had fabricated the whole thing and that there was no such immortal in ancient times.

“I was an eminent immortal in ancient times. Even Transcendent Tribulation cultivators would tremble in fear at my presence. Why are there no records of my immortal name?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was furious. The person who killed me is familiar with the special characteristics of my Dao Fruit, so they deliberately erased my existence from history.
“Wait, according to the naming convention of the four ancient immortals, shouldn’t you be called the Everlasting Immortal?” Lu Yang asked.
“It’s all because of that fellow Heaven Mandate Immortal. He said that it sounded imposing and even suggested that I call myself the ‘Everlasting Immortal.’
“How could I possibly agree? It sounds so awful. Since it doesn’t distinguish the gender, it makes it sound like I’m a male. ‘Everlasting Immortal Fairy’ sounds so much nicer!”
Lu Yang felt that “Huang Doudou” sounded nicer, but he naturally knew he couldn’t voice that out loud, else the Everlasting Immortal Fairy would surely explode in anger.
After Yun Zhi ensured that the two prisoners were locked up securely, she bid goodbye to her Grand Shifu before leaving with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
“Big Senior Sister, should we head to the ancient cave ruins the Three-Tenets True Person mentioned?” Lu Yang noticed that Yun Zhi flew out of the Dao-Seeking Sect instead of returning to Heaven’s Gate Peak.
As the cloud Yun Zhi steered was huge, Lu Yang couldn’t see what was below and naturally didn’t fear the height.
Yun Zhi nodded.
There’s value in checking out a Fusion cultivator’s lifetime wealth.
