Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1325 - 1324: Balance of Power at Captive Peak
Chapter 1325: Chapter 1324: Balance of Power at Captive Peak
"What did I just see, she defeated Wu Yao with a single move?!"
The antiquated cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage had their jaws drop in astonishment upon witnessing this scene. This was Wu Yao, who had ascended twice, yet Yun Zhi had defeated him with one move.
Could it be that their expectations were mistaken, and Yun Zhi was not a Semi-Immortal, but an Immortal?
That couldn’t be right either. The commotion of Immortal Ascension Tribulation is immense; how could Yun Zhi possibly ascend to immortality without any noise?
Regardless, the facts lay before them, and they had no choice but to believe them.
To think they had been concerned about Yun Zhi’s safety earlier, they should have been worried about Wu Yao’s life instead!
Seeing Wu Yao’s defeat made these old cultivators feel much better. They were defeated by Yun Zhi in one move, and so was Wu Yao; the outcome was the same for all.
"Ah, if I had known Daoist Yun Zhi could defeat Wu Yao, I wouldn’t have lowered my realm to mend my Dao heart!" lamented a certain Tribulation Crossing Great Power who, after being defeated by Yun Zhi, felt ashamed and had no choice but to lower his cultivation and re-cultivate to find his Dao heart.
Such actions should not be done often; they’re addictive, making them hard to quit.
Other Tribulation Crossing Great Powers nodded; they all had their encounters with Yun Zhi.
Those at the Body Integration Realm had never seen such a scene where the unassuming Yun Zhi defeated Wu Yao with a single move; even myths would not dare fabricate such a tale.
Shi Chan silently recited Amitabha; no wonder Yun Zhi Senior could dominate her peers and brutally defeat her. This makes sense.
It’s not that he’s too weak, but that his opponent is too strong.
Yun Zhi grabbed Wu Yao, tore through space, and returned to the Cultivation World. The Integration Period Cultivators lined up like chicks in a game of eagle catching chicks, obeying and following behind.
They finally found the way back.
Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng followed behind Yun Zhi; even those Integration Period Cultivators familiar with Lu Yang dared not step forward to inquire about Yun Zhi’s situation.
"Strange, how did Elder Brother Lu Yang and Emperor Wu Yao of Yu fight?" Shi Chan muttered under his breath, his eyebrows furrowing. He intended to recall the battle to aid his future cultivation, but he found he couldn’t remember any details of the fight.
Even if he took out the Recording Orb, or accessed the battleship’s surveillance, it only showed white noise; nothing could be seen.
Not just Shi Chan, other Integration Period Cultivators also noticed this anomaly.
However, they only pondered over it briefly before casting the matter aside as if it was nothing significant.
Lu Yang noted this scene thoughtfully; this was also a manifestation of the Immortal’s forgetting trait.
When he and Wu Yao dueled, Integration Period Cultivators could see and remember, but once Wu Yao ascended to an Immortal, congealed the Dao Fruit, the Immortal’s forgetting trait appeared, making them forget Wu Yao’s methods involving the Dao Fruit, even unconcerned about the matter, essentially erasing it from their consciousness.
As the grand battle concluded, the Cultivation World could finally set its heart at ease; after they had captured the Candle Sky Battleship, the war against Semi-Immortals outside had commenced.
Now with the battle over, they could finally deal with these prisoners.
After returning to the Sect, River Spirit led a squad of prisoners waiting at the sect’s entrance for Yun Zhi, to await her orders.
Yun Zhi was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Is Elder River Spirit waiting for me?"
River Spirit nodded: "We’ve encountered some trouble. Captive Peak has no space left. These people can’t be imprisoned there."
The warships that had surrendered to the Seek Dao Sect numbered two hundred with tens of thousands of captives. Not to mention Captive Peak was nearly full; even if it was empty, it couldn’t hold so many people.
Yun Zhi’s expression turned slightly odd; she hadn’t expected to encounter this problem.
"Report it and let the Dynasty handle it," Lu Yang suggested.
"Good idea." River Spirit left with the prisoners; he couldn’t leave the range of the Seek Dao Sect, others had to handle it.
If the Grand Elders were so eager to intervene, it would be good to let them handle this.
"Sister Mengmeng, where have you been these days, did you find anything while exploring the universe?" Lu Yang asked curiously.
"Of course." Yun Mengmeng’s eyebrows danced with excitement, her hands flailing, laughing cheerily.
"I and Xiao Zhi searched for several months before finding a planet with living beings."
"That planet revered gourmet food, with many, many delicious things, even the trees are edible. The people there hollow out the trees, live inside the tree holes, able to eat the trees anytime without fear of collapsing them, as the trees continue to grow."
"In that place, being a chef is the most respected profession, and they have culinary battles, ingredient battles, and even grade the ingredients, creating many cooking methods."
"I just took Xiao Zhi around there to walk and eat, it was so comfortable. We only tasted less than half of the delicacies before we left."
Lu Yang was surprised: "That really sounds like a great place."
From Yun Mengmeng’s frantic gestures, it was clear that she was very satisfied with the place.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Zhi has absolutely no talent for cooking. Seeing so many chefs there, she felt she could do anything and started cooking like them, but it was terrible, even worse than my cooking."
"I think she couldn’t handle the setback, that’s why she insisted on dragging me back to the Cultivation World. We haven’t even visited many famous food cities."
Yun Mengmeng pouted, clearly dissatisfied with Yun Zhi’s domineering solo decision.
Yun Mengmeng didn’t notice that Yun Zhi turned her head, staring at Yun Mengmeng with a rather unfriendly expression.
"So Miss Yun is interested in cooking? Should have said earlier, I, Immortal Fairy, will teach her!" Fairy Eternity was very pleased with Yun Zhi’s timely intervention, considering her a loyal servant, and loyal servants should be rewarded.
Yun Mengmeng continued talking to herself: "But it’s also a good thing, it just happened that Xiao Zhi helped the Second-in-command, so I forgive her."
Yun Mengmeng couldn’t see Yun Zhi’s reaction, but Lu Yang saw it clearly and felt he shouldn’t continue listening.
"Cough cough, Sister Mengmeng, I have something to do, I have to go."
"Hey, I haven’t finished yet." Yun Mengmeng pouted.
"I have gained something from this battle and need to retreat for a breakthrough. See you later, Sister Mengmeng!" Lu Yang left Yun Mengmeng, getting further away and plunging into Sky Gate Mountain not to come out.
"Retreat, well then." Yun Mengmeng expressed her understanding; cultivation is most important.
"Come on, Xiao Tian, let’s go find Little Lotus, I’ll tell you." Yun Mengmeng caught up with Third Senior Sister Gan Tian, who had returned from the battlefield.
Wu Yao’s expression was somewhat like Yun Zhi’s, emotionless and resigned.
To think he, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, had to end up as a prisoner, it was sad and lamentable.
He might be the first Immortal in history to be captured.
Wu Yao was dragged by Yun Zhi all the way from the sect entrance to the core area of the Sect, then to the deserted Captive Peak.
"Hmm?" Wu Yao sensed the existence of Captive Peak, his pupils dilating.
Captive Peak was entirely made of Immortal Gold, how extravagant!
"Here it comes." A prisoner on the outermost edge shouted, half his head sticking out, craning his neck to see Wu Yao approaching, then hurried back to spread the news.
Wu Yao was slightly puzzled; the person who ran past just now looked surprisingly like the Master of All Laws from their Great Yu Dynasty?
"Go in."
Yun Zhi tossed Wu Yao into Captive Peak like throwing a stone.
Wu Yao staggered a few steps, then a figure appeared in front of him.
He looked up, and it was actually Guan Shanhai?!
Guan Shanhai was surrounded by a group of people, who looked like the cultivators from Great Yu?
"How are you here..."
The two were both friends and mentors, separated for over a hundred thousand years. Though there had been disagreements, looking back, those disagreements seemed trivial.
Guan Shanhai patted Wu Yao’s shoulders hard, his sturdy figure unusually emotional.
"You finally came, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Wu Yao, touched by the atmosphere, felt equally emotional: "Yes, I have finally come... Hmm?"
Something about that phrase didn’t seem right.
Guan Shanhai embraced Wu Yao, pointing arrogantly at the people opposite them: "Take a good look, you folks from Great Qian, my people from Great Yu are all here, we aren’t afraid of you anymore!"
Wu Yao: "?"
