Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 435: Chapter 434 Causality Backlash Disappears_1

“Utilize the power of the State Destiny?” Governor Lv was taken aback upon hearing this.

“Is that not permissible?”

“No, no, no, it is certainly permissible.”

The Five Great Immortal Sects and the imperial court share a righteous alliance, and there isn’t any substantive superior-subordinate relationship between them.

A hundred thousand years ago, the founding master of the Seek Dao Sect, Celestial Master Guiyuan, along with four others, established the Five Great Immortal Sects. They made an alliance with Great Xia which included the enforcement of laws, supervisory rights, and tax exemptions among others.

Furthermore, the sect leader of the Immortal Sect is allowed to use the power of the State Destiny.

Sect Leader Qiu, who was aware of the contents of the alliance agreement, made this request.

Governor Lv was unaware of the contents of the alliance agreement, but before he took up his position as governor of the Wild State, Emperor Xia personally trained him in an emergency, informing him that the sect leader of the Immortal Sect can utilize the power of the State Destiny.

Reflecting on the power of the State Destiny, it seems Sect Leader Qiu is more familiar with it.

“Given Sect Leader Qiu’s unrivaled cultivation level, I wonder what kind of problem he encountered that led him to be cursed?” Governor Lv asked curiously.

Sect Leader Qiu sighed and vehemently stated, “It’s a long story, it was a mere coincidence that I happened to encounter this Meng Family boy. We were thrust into a perilous situation and ventured deep into the demon cave, driven by the intention to cleanse the evil and restore peace and prosperity to the world. However, the demon cave turned out to be a stronghold of the demon path, teeming with masters and I struggled to gain the upper hand in the battles.”

“Not to mention that two fists cannot contend against four hands, my strength was limited, and the demon path had a powerful influence, they cursed both me and the Meng Family boy during the battles!”

“So that was it, the cultivators on the demon path are truly despicable!” Governor Lv gained a sudden insight and voiced his indignation on behalf of Sect Leader Qiu.

“Sect Leader Qiu, would you mind letting us know which of The Three Great Demon Sects you went to?”

Sect Leader Qiu shook his head, not wishing to dwell onto the details. Governor Lv tactfully refrained from asking further.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had strange expressions on their faces but remained silent.

“Sect Leader Qiu, you are awesome, venturing solo into a demon sect!” Man Gu cupped his fists in admiration, the thought of Sect Leader Qiu ridding the demon cave single-handedly was indeed very impressive!

When Sect Leader Qiu infiltrated the Seek Dao Sect, Man Gu was in the wilderness participating in a rite of passage to adulthood, oblivious to the circumstances back then.

“Utilizing the power of the State Destiny is possible, it’s just that I have only just begun to familiarize myself with it, and am not very adept at handling it yet.”

“No matter, it does not require a complicated process, simply using the power of the State Destiny to cleanse both of us will suffice.”

“All right then.” Governor Lv agreed readily.

The power of State Destiny is a major secret. Governor Lv only allowed the unfortunate duo of Sect Leader Qiu and Meng Jingzhou to accompany him. Lu Yang, Man Gu, and Zhao Po waited at the original location.

After a series of events, the three of them were somewhat exhausted. Initially, they were supposed to assist in dealing with a drowned ghost, but subsequently, the situation spiraled out of control. Having to start over after disbanding cultivation, the unification of Great Yu intervening, and then Sect Leader Qiu stepping in to save the day,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“I would never have imagined, Senior Brother Huang Ming actually started over after disbanding his cultivation at the Unification stage!” Zhao Po expressed his bitter smile. He had always wanted to share cultivation experiences with Huang Ming, but Huang Ming was aloof and indifferent towards him. At first, Zhao Po did not understand why, but now it was abundantly clear, they were not on the same path after all.

“Judging by Huang Ming’s skills, he was highly skilled in the Corpse Chasing Arts even before he disbanded his cultivation.” Lu Yang analyzed, stating that this might have been the reason why Huang Ming chose the Corpse Chasing Sect.

This wasn’t unusual, the history of the Corpse Chasing Arts could be traced back to ancient times, it was perfectly normal for Great Yu cultivators to master it.

“We do not know how many ancient cultivators have started over after disbanding cultivation, Huang Ming rebuilt his cultivation to the Golden Core Stage, but that certainly does not mean that the other ancient cultivators have also re-cultivated to the Golden Core Stage!” declared Lu Yang seriously. This differed from the demon sects; the demon sects had low-rank cultivators to infiltrate, unlike the ancient cultivators who start anew at the Unification stage to an unknown upper limit, making them even more challenging to handle.

“Just started over after disbanding cultivation, yet none of them have attained immortality. Disgraceful,” Fairy Eternity, being an immortal herself, had utter contempt for these resurgent cultivators.

“Hmm, what are you looking at, Fairy?” Lu Yang noticed that Fairy Eternity was lying on the bed, her eyes fixed unwaveringly at something.

The figures on the screen were very familiar; they were Governor Lv, Sect Leader Qiu, and Meng Jingzhou who had just left.

“I have never seen how the power of State Destiny is used before, I want to see.”

“Move over, let me look as well.” Lu Yang too was curious and wanted to see, so he asked Fairy Eternity to make some space and he leaned next to her to look.

The place that controlled the power of the State Destiny was heavily fortified. The power of the State Destiny itself could also prevent prying eyes. Even those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage wouldn’t be able to breach it. However, these defenses were ineffective in front of Fairy Eternity, the foremost among the Five Immortals from ancient times.

If it were an immortal on the court’s side in control of the power of State Destiny, then Fairy Eternity might have had a challenge, but otherwise, nobody could prevent Fairy Eternity from spying on the power of State Destiny.

In the light screen, Governor Lv led the two into a stone secret chamber.

The secret chamber was airtight, without a single gap. It didn’t appear to be constructed from an assembly of stones, rather carved out from a single massive stone.

In the secret chamber, there was a small pool that was empty, void of anything. In the middle, there was a square indent. Governor Lv held the Seal of Wild State and stamped it onto the indent.

Suddenly, a material that resembled both light and water appeared. It filled up the indent in strands and patches.

“So this is the power of State Destiny.”

Seeing Lu Yang still somewhat confused, Fairy Eternity explained: “The power of State Destiny has been present in every inch of Great Xia all along, existing in an imperceptible and indetectable manner. The Seal of Wild State is the key that can transform the power of the State Destiny from an indetectable state to a detectable state.”

“The Seal of Wild State is a formidable treasure that recognizes its master. Only Governor Lv can wield this treasure.”

“About the power of State Destiny, it is possibly not very strong because it’s only the State Destiny of one state. If the State Destiny of all seventeen states converged, then its might would be considerable. It seems the immortal from Great Xia’s court does have some abilities.”

“Of course, it’s only some abilities, still far from my level.”

Elsewhere, Meng Jingzhou got his first close look at the power of the State Destiny, feeling hope was within his grasp for resolving the backlash on Causality.

“Should we just jump in directly?”

Sect Leader Qiu prevented Meng Jingzhou’s suicidal impulse: “If you were at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, jumping in may offer a slim chance of survival.”

Admitting to his Golden Dan Dignity, Meng Jingzhou felt he was still some distance from reaching the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and decided not to jump in just yet.

A flow of State Destiny, as thick as an arm, shot out. It was Governor Lv who was manipulating it.

Governor Lv awkwardly controlled the power of the State Destiny, gradually diminishing its corrosive properties. He pointed with two fingers at Sect Leader Qiu and Meng Jingzhou, uttered a command and the power of the State Destiny began to cleanse them.

“This feels so good!” Meng Jingzhou exclaimed in surprise. This was even more comfortable than when he first came in contact with spiritual essence.

A pinkish fog drifted out and was quickly absorbed, melted, and disappeared into nothingness by the power of the State Destiny.

The curse that had been weighing on his mind for so long had disappeared, Sect Leader Qiu also felt extremely relieved.

“Ho――that feels good!”

“The curse has finally disappeared. Let’s celebrate at a brothel. Brother Lv, where is the best brothel in Hanshui City?”

Governor Lv: “…”

Is it appropriate to ask me this question?

“There used to be a zoo, it was the best brothel, but it is currently closed for refurbishment.”
