Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 443: The Everlasting Immortal Fairy Makes a Move

A Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivator had taken over Sect Leader Lu’s body—everything suddenly made sense.

Why were there no records of Fusion cultivators clashing?

It’s because a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator can effortlessly take over a Fusion cultivator’s body!

Why was an unremarkable Sect Leader Lu the first among his generation to break through to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage?

It’s because his body had already been taken over by a Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivator! For the latter, it’s equivalent to reentering the Transcendent Tribulation Stage, so the process was naturally a cinch for him!

These were all deductions, for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou lacked concrete proof. However, they couldn’t conceive of any other possibility that explained everything!

As Provincial Governor Lü and the rest were about to head over to the Corpse-Driving Sect to offer their congratulations, they heard Sect Leader Lu burst into uncharacteristically unbridled laughter.

“At last, at long last, I’ve returned to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage!”

“Wait, you’re not Lu Baqian! Who are you?!” Provincial Governor Lü immediately demanded, an ominous feeling growing in his heart.

Wu Youdao and the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord congratulated “Sect Leader Lu.”

“Congratulations on your successful advancement, Fellow Daoist Witchcraft Sacrifice.”

Elder Gai’s pupils constricted, his face filled with incredulity. “Witchcraft Sacrifice? The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord?! From the Witchcraft Corpse Sect?!” The Witchcraft Corpse Sect had managed to become a S-class sect precisely because of this Transcendent Tribulation cultivator!

During the battle earlier, Elder Gai was puzzled about historical records stating that the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord’s whereabouts were unknown, likely in slumber and preparing to awaken for the Great Era. But if that was the case, why were only Fusion cultivators from the Witchcraft Corpse Sect involved in the fight? Where was the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord?

Now, he had finally received his answer. The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord has been right under our noses all along!

With three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators on Great Yu’s side, Qiu Jin’an’s predicament grew increasingly dire.

The white paper-hatted man gnashed his teeth as he glowered at the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord, who had taken over Sect Leader Lu’s body. Huang Ming and Meng Tian had already confessed to me about this matter, and it’s also one of the reasons why I’ve steeled my resolve to deal with these Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivators.

Due to Corpse Drivers having a different outlook on life and death, there were rumors in the external world claiming that the Nine-Netherworlds Creed’s founder was originally from the Corpse-Driving Sect.

In truth, this was just a rumor, but it got one thing correct—the Corpse Drivers’ philosophies on life and death were close to the Nine-Netherworlds Creed’s, resulting in the two factions having favorable impressions of each other.

The Nine-Netherworlds Creed’s leader was naturally incensed to see the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord. His original plan was to cooperate with Qiu Jin’an to eliminate Wu Youdao before the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord could return to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.

However, fate had other plans. He didn’t expect the Great Yu’s party to include the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord, and the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord had undergone tribulation earlier than anticipated.

With his full contingent assembled, Wu Youdao showed his original rapacious and ferocious colors. “Provincial Governor Lü, I have already given you a chance to surrender the national fortune. Since you refuse, I can only take it by force!”

The moment the last word left his mouth, the three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators attacked simultaneously, targeting Provincial Governor Lü, causing even the spirit energy in Hanshui City to go berserk. This cataclysmic strike immediately pushed Provincial Governor Lü to the brink of death. Thankfully, the national fortune saved him; otherwise, he would have died on the spot.

Provincial Governor Lü fell with a crash, hitting the estate and landing beside Lu Yang.

Lu Yang’s eyelids twitched. Things can’t get any worse. Great Yu has three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. The gulf in strength is too massive.

Wu Youdao remarked, “The national fortune’s power is truly impressive. Even that couldn’t kill you. I’m more and more bent on obtaining its power. I wonder the extent of metamorphosis my Dragon-Tiger Qi will go through.”

Provincial Governor Lü forced himself to hang in there, not afraid of dying. His voice dripped with scorn. “Do you really believe killing me would grant you the national fortune’s power? Absolutely risible! Even if I die, the national fortune will return to its source. You will not get a single bit!”

“Is that so?” The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord’s lips twisted into an eerie rictus as he produced a familiar talisman. “Take a guess—why did I choose to take over this particular body?”

“Soul-Dispelling Talisman!” Provincial Governor Lü recognized the talisman, a sense of foreboding filling him. The local authorities and the Corpse-Driving Sect had rushed out these talismans overnight to settle the ghost calamities. The one the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord is holding is the main talisman. It was even imprinted with the Wilderness Province’s official seal to amplify its power.

What is he trying to accomplish by taking out this talisman now?!

The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord raised the talisman, and countless specks of light ignited across Hanshui City—these were all locations where Soul-Dispelling Talismans had been used.

“Array, rise!” The talisman in the Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord’s hand burst into flames. Across Hanshui City, the spots of light intensified and linked together, forming a great array.

Provincial Governor Lü could feel the power of the national fortune being stripped from his body bit by bit, gradually becoming masterless.

“I’ve gone through great pains to take over this body—all for this moment!” The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord cackled nonstop; everyone in Hanshui City could hear this grating laughter.

“After the previous provincial governor was removed and other factions were distrusted by the imperial court, a newly appointed provincial governor like you can only believe our Corpse-Driving Sect. With the ghost calamities, only our sect could resolve the problem!

“The Corpse-Driving Sect crafted these Soul-Dispelling Talismans together with you local authorities, so every talisman naturally carries the intention of the authorities. Along with the imprint from the Wilderness Province’s official seal, such intention was augmented.

“Using the malevolent ghosts as anchor points, I made the disciples use talismans to eliminate the ghosts. Once the talismans and ghostly energy combine, they will form the array’s nodes.”

All the array masters’ conjectures were wrong. Hanshui City’s array was neither constructed using malevolent spirits as nodes nor intended to disrupt the yin-yang balance—instead, its setup relied on Soul-Dispelling Talismans. However, they were completely in the dark about the existence of the Soul-Dispelling Talismans, so no one noticed the problem with the talismans.

“The talismans and dispelling the ghosts were all the intentions of the authorities, so the array also bears your intention. This is tantamount to the authorities intentionally giving up the national fortune’s power!” The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord’s mouth twisted into a mocking smile. The condition for making the national fortune masterless is extremely strict—it requires the authorities to voluntarily give it up.

To achieve that, I’ve arranged all of this, just so I can obtain the national fortune’s power!

Sensing the control of the national fortune slipping from his grasp and becoming masterless, Provincial Governor Lü was wracked with helplessness. Had it been an experienced provincial governor, they wouldn’t have made such a fatal mistake.

“We mustn’t let them obtain the national fortune’s power!” Qiu Jin’an and the Nine-Netherworlds Creed’s leader hastily intervened.

But how could they be a match for three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators?

“Supreme Threefold Force!”

“Heavenly Punishment Thunderstrike!”

“Thousand-Li Corpse Energy!”

The three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators synchronized their assault, sending Qiu Jin’an and the Nine-Netherworlds Creed’s leader flying out and coughing blood incessantly.

A material resembling both light and water drifted out from Provincial Governor Lü’s body, turning into strands and fragments as it floated to the sky.

Seeing his dream national fortune, Wu Youdao extended his hand and executed Cosmos in Palm, crushing down toward Provincial Governor Lü.

And right beside him were Lu Yang and the others.

“The national fortune’s power is now this sovereign’s!”

“This immortal finds this national fortune’s power pretty satisfactory. Why don’t you let me use it first?” A frivolous voice suddenly echoed through heaven and earth, its source untraceable.

A figure suddenly appeared between Provincial Governor Lü and the giant hand, reaching out a slender jade hand to absorb all the national fortune.

“Are you not embarrassed to call this Cosmos in Palm?” The woman sneered and lifted her palm, sending Wu Youdao’s massive hand flying.

Wu Youdao clutched his wrist fixedly to stop it from trembling uncontrollably, a sliver of panic flickering in his eyes.

The woman was shrouded in the power of the national fortune. Though her appearance was obscured, she had a pretty figure and jade-like feet. Like a fairy immortal who had descended upon the mortal world, she felt inviolable and divine, involuntarily making people desire to prostrate before her in worship.

“Who are you?!” Wu Youdao glared at the mysterious woman fixedly, finding her profound and unfathomable. That strike that blew off my palm didn’t surpass the limits of the Basic Transcendent Tribulation Stage, but her precise control over power far outclasses mine!

But how is that possible?!

The mysterious woman looked at Wu Youdao in disdain, parting her lips gently and lazily announcing her title. “This immortal is Dou Heavenly Sovereign, the Supreme Grand Heavenly Sovereign of the Heavenly Court Creed.”
