Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 584: Invitations

The ancient Dijiang was originally very powerful. The Great Yu Imperial Preceptor survived being blown up by the Everlasting Immortal for ten days because he desperately hid in a corner of the space and was only hit by the shockwaves of the self-detonation, sustaining minimal damage. However, when the Everlasting Immortal Fairy said the ancient Dijiang could withstand ten blows, that meant standing right at the center of the explosion and taking ten direct hits—a completely different challenge compared to the Imperial Preceptor’s situation.

Moreover, how could the explosion power of the Everlasting Immortal compare to that of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy?

Now, with the ancient Dijiang on the path to unifying the Demon Region, his strength had reached a higher level, placing him in the first echelon of half-immortals. Even the second-in-command of the Everlasting Lineage was no match for him, a testament to the ancient Dijiang’s power.

~~~

The Dijiang Tribe.

“Have all the invitations been sent out?” The ancient Dijiang fluttered his wings slightly, emitting a faint, ancient, and mysterious oppressive aura that instilled fear in people.

The Demon Region revered the strong. Those kneeling below were the strongest of each tribe. It was by controlling these strongest individuals that he controlled these major tribes.

Upon closer inspection, one would find a complex patterned mark deep within the eyes of these demon powerhouses—a master-servant mark planted by the ancient Dijiang. Anyone marked had to obey the ancient Dijiang; their life and death were not up to them.

The Dijiang envoy had tried to plant this master-servant mark on Chieftain Jin. But who would have thought the Qiongqi Tribe’s profound foundation would shatter the token?

The Dijiang Tribe Chieftain looked at the ancient ancestor nervously. “Your Excellency, all major factions have been sent invitations. Only the Four Great Diabolic Creeds are hard to locate, and we couldn’t send them.”

“Four Great Diabolic Creeds? Wasn’t the Everlasting Creed eliminated?”

“There’s also a rising force called the Heavenly Court Creed. Its members are all from the ancient Heavenly Court...” The Dijiang Tribe Chieftain recounted the Heavenly Court Creed’s deeds in detail, from Dou Heavenly Sovereign’s appearance in Hanshui City to the young creed leader disrupting the Dao-Seeking Sect’s celebration. All the events demonstrated the Heavenly Court Creed’s strength.

The ancient Dijiang snorted coldly. “Heavenly Court? No idea what that is. I roamed the ancient era for tens of thousands of years and never heard of any Heavenly Court Creed. It’s probably fabricated by someone, like the Everlasting Creed. As for Dou Heavenly Sovereign, who knows if it’s just a play scripted by Great Yu cultivators? Nothing to fear!”

“The Ancient Ancestor is wise!”

“And our Dijiang Tribe’s prodigy has been hidden for so long. It’s time to let the world know the might of our Dijiang Tribe.” The corners of the ancient Dijiang’s mouth curved into a smile. The Dijiang Tribe’s prodigy was personally groomed by me and is considered my legacy successor—absolutely powerful.

Then, he coldly looked at the Dijiang Tribe Chieftain lying prostrate on the ground. “Who permitted you to speak to this ancestor? Don’t you know what hierarchy is? Have a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator speak to this ancestor instead.”

“Everyone should have received the ancient Dijiang’s invitations. What are your thoughts?”

The Xia Emperor had summoned the sect leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects. Six invitations lay on the table.

Qiu Jin’an shrugged. “What can we do? Just go. Watching the spectacle doesn’t cost money. Didn’t Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi mention this before? The conclusion of the discussion then was that the ancient Dijiang unifying the Demon Region could actually restrain those demons hostile to demons. In the future, whether for business or cultivator exchange, it would be much more convenient. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks. We Great Xia need not get involved.

“As for his appearance at this juncture, it’s surely related to the upcoming Great Era. However, the ancient Dijiang is still not strong enough to threaten Great Xia. We can just be spectators.”

“True.”

Golden Buddhist Kingdom.

“The ancient Dijiang wants to establish a demon kingdom?”

The Buddhist Kingdom’s ruler was tall, with a gleaming bald head. He sat on a lotus throne with the upper half of his body naked. Behind him was a Buddha statue made of immortal gold.

He gazed at the invitation he had received, turning his prayer beads quietly.

He wrote the names of those qualified to attend on paper, tore them into strips, crumpled them into balls, and began drawing lots.

“Never mind, I’ll just randomly pick someone to go.”

~~~

East Sea.

The old Dragon Emperor, nearly ten thousand meters long, coiled around a stone pillar. His cyan scales showed age, and his claws were thick with calluses. But no one dared to underestimate this old dragon. Whether it was in the East Sea or the Demon Region, no demon alive was likely older.

In his youth, he single-handedly quelled the Nine Dragons Civil War that nearly fractured the entire East Sea into warring factions.

“It so happens that it’s been a while since we had contact with our kin in the Demon Region. Sending a few young dragons over to catch up would be good. We can also ask if there’s any news about the Ancient Ancestor.”

~~~

Nine-Netherworlds Creed.

Mu Baiyi happily looked over the barbeque shop’s income. At this rate, we can definitely repay the loan within my lifetime and even have leftover resources to complete the construction of Fengdu Ghost City.

“It’s all thanks to the Heavenly Court Creed.”

Just as he was rejoicing, a subordinate delivered an intelligence that shocked him to the core.

“The Demon Region wants to establish a demon kingdom and has sent invitations far and wide to ask major factions to stand witness? Why is our Nine-Netherworlds Creed not included?

“Oh right, they can’t find our location.”

This is such huge news, yet not a single bit was leaked beforehand? Is the ancient Dijiang’s ability to control intelligence this strong?

Mu Baiyi was troubled. Theoretically, we should follow Young Creed Leader Lu’s plan and focus on earning money with the barbeque shop, not getting involved in this matter.

But then again, not attending a historic event like the Demon Region establishing a kingdom would feel like a loss when I think back about it in the future.

After brief contemplation, he called Shi Huagu over. “Ask Young Creed Leader Lu what the Heavenly Court Creed’s view is.”

Shi Huagu was similarly astonished upon learning about the ancient Dijiang establishing a kingdom. He hastily took out the Nine-Netherworlds Token and input a long message, consulting Lu Yang.

Soon, Lu Yang replied: I’ve been in the Demon Region all this time.

Mu Baiyi and Shi Huagu inhaled sharply. Who goes to the Demon Region for no reason? Young Creed Leader Lu must have known about the ancient Dijiang’s kingdom plans early and rushed over there in advance!

So this is the Heavenly Court Creed’s depth.

......

“Little Junior Brother, are you replying to someone?” Gan Tian noticed Lu Yang writing something.

Lu Yang off-handedly answered, “Oh, it’s the Nine-Netherworlds Creed. They asked where I was.”

“...Nine-Netherworlds Creed?” Gan Tian was silent for a moment before speaking in a rhetorical tone. It was the first time she doubted her hearing.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou fully disclosed the matter of the Heavenly Court Creed, emphasizing that Yun Zhi was the creed leader, with the eight elders and the Taciturn Daoist Priest acting as heavenly king protectors.

This was met with even longer silence from Gan Tian in response.

Each generation surpasses the last. Even Shifu didn’t do such things in his youth. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

At the moment, the three were sitting on a beast hide, not heading to the Dijiang Tribe yet. With a month left until the palace’s construction was completed, there was no need to rush over there early.

They were going to another place—the Creation Ancient Domain.

If not for the founding of a demon kingdom, the centennial opening of the Creation Ancient Domain would be the major event that commanded the most attention in the Demon Region. When the Creation Ancient Domain opened, all prodigies of the Demon Region would participate.

Apart from cultivation level restrictions, there was only one requirement to enter the Creation Ancient Domain: pure-blood.

Coincidentally, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were pure-blooded humans, perfectly fulfilling the condition.
