Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 585: Demon Prodigies

According to legend, the Creation Ancient Domain was a secret domain that existed since ancient times. Its master was so distant in the past that investigation was impossible, and the secret domain’s name was also lost to time.

The only known fact was that the secret domain held many fortuitous opportunities. If youth demon prodigies entering it were lucky, they could directly advance by a major realm without side effects, significantly reducing cultivation time.

Therefore, the Demon Region named the secret domain “Creation.”

Additionally, there were various natural treasures only found in ancient times. With the shift from the ancient to the modern era, environments had changed drastically, and some natural treasures with strict growth conditions couldn’t adapt and had gone extinct.

Only ancient secret domains contained these extinct natural treasures.

If not for the restrictions on cultivation levels, even demon kings would want to enter the secret domain to seek fortuitous opportunities.

“Immortal Fairy, have you heard of the Creation Ancient Domain?” Lu Yang asked. Matters of antiquity naturally require asking someone from antiquity.

“The description matches a few secret domains in my memory, but none were called Creation Ancient Domain. Names in ancient and modern times differ. Perhaps the name changed.”

Three pure-blooded humans stealthily landed in the distance and walked near the secret domain’s entrance.

It wasn’t time for the secret domain to open yet, but most major tribes of the Demon Region had already arrived. The trio had visited the ancestral tombs of these tribes and were very familiar with them. If they took out the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s cookbook, they could basically find their names there too.

Among these major tribes, the Dragon and Phoenix tribes were the most conspicuous. They were the two largest races in the Demon Region, with countless demons following them.

The dragon had nine sons. Tribes like the Chaofeng[1], Qiuniu[2], and Baxia[3] all looked up to the Dragon as their leader.

This generation’s Dragon prodigy was named Ao Yue. He appeared at the secret domain entrance in human form, with dragon horns on his head. He had handsome features and donned a yellow robe seamlessly woven with gold and silver threads.

As a clear phoenix cry resounded through the air, all the demons lifted their heads. In the distance, multicolored lights sparkled, glowing from the feathers of multifarious birds—Chongming Bird Tribe,[4] Bifang Tribe, Qingluan Tribe[5]...

Flying at the forefront were several colorful phoenixes. The Phoenix Tribe was the king of avian demons.

The avian demons landed and transformed into human form. One of them was a bright-eyed, beautiful girl with black and red eyes, brimming with vitality. Her name was Jiang Shishi. Among the elders accompanying Jiang Shishi was someone all three recognized—Jiang Shan.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had met Jiangshan at the crime scene of the forged Phoenix Blood Stones. As Jiang Shan had been taught a lesson by someone from the Dao-Seeking Sect, he became very cordial upon learning they were from the Dao-Seeking Sect.

As for Gan Tian, she was the one who had taught Jiang Shan that lesson.

The trio had also visited the Dragon and Phoenix tribes’ ancestral tombs. In fact, they could be said to be Lu Yang’s key investigation targets. He wanted to know the whereabouts of the Dragon and Phoenix prodigies, hoping they could uncover clues in the ancestral tombs.

Unfortunately, things weren’t that simple. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy had scanned both tribes with her immortal consciousness and figured out their foundation and heritage, even learning many ancient secrets that the two tribes themselves didn’t know. But still no clues were found.

Aside from the Dragon and Phoenix tribes, many other demon tribes had generational feuds and were diametrically opposed.

For example, the conflict between the Heavenly Dog and Jade Rabbit tribes was well-known in the Demon Region. The legend of the Heavenly Dog eating the moon had circulated since ancient times, while the Jade Rabbit Tribe used to live on the moon.

Eating the Jade Rabbit Tribe’s home for no good reason naturally led to enmity.

“White head, red feet, looks like an ape—is that a zhuyan?”

“And that low-key and unassuming one dressed plainly—is that the Qiongqi Tribe’s prodigy who has never shown himself before?”

“I heard he voluntarily went to the humans’ Luodi Merchant Guild to learn the art of business, offering to work for free. The merchant guild was worried he would establish a merchant guild in our Demon Region upon returning and seize their territory, so they kept refusing him entry!”

“Why did I hear that the Qiongqi Tribe is plagued by poverty, and the Luodi Merchant Guild didn’t even dare to take free labor out of fear that they’d be implicated?”

“Must be rumors. The Qiongqi Tribe always has many false negative rumors. There’s even a legend that an ancient immortal suggested they rename themselves to Wangcai (Prosperous Wealth) or Fugui (Rich and Noble). That obviously sounds fake.”

“Makes sense.”

“Look! That’s the genius from the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe. It’s truly like the legends—every smile and frown strikes the chords of one’s heart!”

The Nine-Tailed Fox genius was named Su Lian’er. She was dressed in white, and nine white tails swayed behind her. Red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes added a hint of allure. Though she looked about Lu Yang’s age, she already possessed a charm that could enchant the human realm. Many demon prodigies surrounded Su Lian’er, showing infatuated expressions.

“I heard the ancient Nine-Tailed Fox was peerlessly beautiful, with legends of her captivating beauty that ‘made fish sink and geese fall, eclipsed the moon and shamed the flowers.’”

“She does resemble her old ancestor a little,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy said with a nasal tone.

“She was really beautiful enough to ‘make fish sink and geese fall, eclipse the moon and shame the flowers?’”

“More or less.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pouted. “It was spring then, and flowers were in full bloom. The Nine-Tailed Fox and the Heavenly Dog were dueling by a lake. Their battle was so powerful that the fish in the lake dove to the bottom in fear. The geese couldn’t escape in time; caught in the attacks, they were scorched and crackled as they fell to the ground.

“The Nine-Tailed Fox used the moonlight to cast an illusion. The Heavenly Dog almost got tricked. In desperation, he used his Heaven-Earth Manifestation and swallowed the moon whole.

“By the time the two were done fighting, the ground was a mess, and flowers had withered.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Why is this different from what I’d imagined?

“After the battle, people said the Nine-Tailed Fox possessed the beauty that ‘made fish sink and geese fall, eclipsed the moon and shamed the flowers.’ I’ve always suspected she spread that legend herself. After all, when the Heaven Mandate Immortal organized sessions for high-level cultivators to learn how to maintain lofty airs, the Nine-Tailed Fox was quite into it.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was disdainful of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s petty tricks.

The ancient Nine-Tailed Fox was among the Ten Ancient Beauties, but in terms of appearance, she still couldn’t compare to me, who ranked first.

The Ten Ancient Beauties was a list determined by appearance, strength, and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s subjective evaluation. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy undisputedly put herself in first place.

From what Lu Yang knew, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy ranked the Dragon and Phoenix prodigies and her follower Qing He second to fourth based on the closeness of ties. The little Qiongqi Jincaiwei and the ancient Nine-Tailed Fox were also on the list, their rankings varying with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s mood.

Luckily, this is a list the Everlasting Immortal Fairy made up to boast about herself after knowing me. If this list had existed in the ancient era, these ten people would probably have fought fiercely over the rankings. I can only imagine the chaos.

Correction—nine people. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy proved her Dao with strength; her seizing first place is undisputable.

“Immortal Fairy, did you learn how to maintain lofty airs from the Heaven Mandate Immortal?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy raised an eyebrow, her expression bold and confident. “As the head of the Five Ancient Immortals, my every action encompasses profound meaning. Why would I need to learn from others?”

At that moment, the mental space transformed into a tropical rainforest. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy wore beast hides and a grass skirt, exuding a primitive, wild beauty.

Watching this scene, Lu Yang simply couldn’t see the lofty airs in the Everlasting Immortal Fairy at all.
