Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 234:
Chapter 234: Chapter 233: So That’s How It Is_1
Meng Jingzhou, seeing Elder Brother Dai not believe them, began to recount the story with great detail.
“We went out a few days ago and saw a plume of black smoke rising from a mountain stream. Thinking there must be a demon causing chaos in the world, we directly charged towards it. The villain proclaimed himself the Master of the Nine Nether Sect, possessing great powers. Fortunately, we were no ordinary people and had some skills. Through a fierce and deadly fight, we finally captured the villain. Only when we unmasked him did we discover that the villain was none other than Li Haoran!”
“The Master of the Nine Nether Sect, such a mysterious person, was captured by the two of us. We don’t want much, just three Acting Sect Master exchange vouchers each will do.”
“… Are you sure you know what you are saying?”
As the oldest apprentice in the sect, Dai Bufan had been alive for nearly a thousand years. He had never felt his intelligence being insulted more than today.
Lu Yang shrugged, untying Li Haoran while saying, “See, I told you Elder Brother Dai wouldn’t believe us.”
A promise to give Li Haoran 30% of the points was naturally out of the question now.
“Why wouldn’t I believe? We really did capture the Master of the Nine Nether Sect,” said Meng Jingzhou, believing every word he said was true.
“Alright, what exactly happened?” Dai Bufan knew that although the two were quite amusing, they wouldn’t joke about something like this. there must be a reason.
Of course, if these two dared to say they were just here to swindle points, he would have them tied up and left at the door of the Task Hall.
“Ahem, so the story goes like this.”
“Initially, Junior Brother Li was feeling a bit nervous about meeting his fiancée, so he asked us for help. We found out that his fiancée is kind-hearted, more advanced in her cultivation than Li Haoran, perfect in all respects, and her only issue was her age.”
Dai Bufan was leisurely sipping his tea with his legs crossed, casually inquiring, “An older age isn’t a problem. Who is she, and how much older is she? One year or two years?”
“Two thousand years.”
“Pff-”
Dai Bufan spat out a mouthful of tea. He thought he was hallucinating. He coughed violently, took a long time to recover, and finally managed to say, “How much? Two thousand years?”
Wasn’t that the same age as the Sect Leader’s master?
Dai Bufan gave Li Haoran a few more glances, but still couldn’t see anything special about him.
“Li Junior Brother’s fiancée is named Su Yiren, a Unification Stage Cultivator.”
“Oh, Su Yiren. Heard she’s a beauty, must be the one cultivating on Tianzhu Mountain.” Dai Bufan, who managed all the information of the Seek Dao Sect and had eyes and ears all over the Central Continent, was aware of the Unification Stage Cultivator that others didn’t know.
“Su Senior’s husband was named Qin Haoran, also a Unification Stage Cultivator. Qin Haoran lost his life while trying to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Due to the specificity of his cultivation practice, he reincarnated.”
Qin Haoran? Dai Bufan went through his memory of Unification Stage Cultivators, but couldn’t recall anyone with that name.
“Qin Haoran reincarnated as Junior Brother Li, and to continue their love, Su Senior became Junior Brother Li’s fiancée.”
“Later, in Luofeng County, we accidentally discovered the trace of the Nine Nether Sect devotees. Su Senior acted, destroyed their plot, and led us to witness the process of making Phoenix Blood Stone.”
“You saw the Phoenix Blood Stone made with the blood of a Phoenix in Luofeng County?” Dai Bufan was not surprised.
“Elder Brother Dai, did you know about this?” Lu Yang was taken aback.
Dai Bufan rolled his eyes, “It’s not hard to guess. Which family’s Unification Stage mining vein could be mined for four thousand years? What do you think, are Phoenixes all blood without flesh?”
“It’s just that Phoenix blood isn’t easy to find. I worry that pointing out this fact would anger the Phoenix Tribe who would then refuse to sell their blood.”
Lu Yang: “… Alright.”
“Then Junior Brother Li made a breakthrough and regained fragments of his past life’s memory, realizing he was the Master of the Nine Nether Sect in his past life.”
After Lu Yang finished speaking, Dai Bufan remained silent, his index finger rhythmically tapping on the table: “Reincarnation, past life, Nine Nether Sect…”
“The Nine Nether Sect believes there is a place in the world called Nine Nether for reincarnation, and Li Haoran happens to be the reincarnated Master of the Nine Nether Sect…”
“Elder Brother Dai, is reincarnation really possible?”
Elder Brother Dai shook his head: “I don’t know. However, there are many rumors. For example, in the north there is a divine child who glows with golden light, who was born with knowledge, and has the ability to fly and escape. He is believed by the local people to be the reincarnation of an immortal.”
“What’s the truth?”
“There was an idiot who didn’t cultivate properly and had a Nascent Soul escape.”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
“And then there’s a young genius in a small sect, exceptionally talented. One day, a Great Power visits the sect and, upon seeing the genius, is taken aback. The genius resembles an old friend of the Great Power in both talent and appearance.”
“What happened later?”
“Later, the Great Power discovered that his old friend was faking his death, becoming young again just for the sake of showing off before the smaller sect.”
Li Haoran: “…”
“Generally speaking, these reincarnation rumours cannot be trusted, they are either completely without basis, or are used to create hype and spread false information, along with various other strange reasons. Judging from the information I currently have, not a single case involves a true reincarnation.”
“The Master of the Nine Nether Sect is related to many things, and I know very little about reincarnation. It’s best to leave this matter to Eldest Senior Sister to decide.”
“Then we’d better find Eldest Senior Sister…”
Before Lu Yang could finish, a cold voice rang out.
“No need, I’m already here.”
The tone was cold, like ice that had existed for thousands of years.
Space distorted, and a beautiful figure walked out from an unknown space, appearing before them. It was Yun Zhi.
Word had already been sent to Yun Zhi during their conversation.
“I never thought Junior Brother Li would be the reincarnation of a Great Power.”
“Reincarnations do not exist, they are nonsense. If Junior Brother Li really is the reincarnated Master of the Nine Nether Sect, it can only be due to the Dao Fruit.”
Yun Zhi recalled speculation about the purpose of the Four Great Devil Sects: “Could it be that the Nine Nether Sect had formed a rudimentary Dao Fruit of reincarnation a long time ago?”
“Open your heart and think of nothing.”
Li Haoran hurriedly purified his mind, keeping it immaculate, thinking of nothing.
Yun Zhi’s eyes seemed to contain the countless stars of the sky, utterly beautiful and captivating, encompassing all the mysteries of the world, entrancing everyone who looked into them.
These eyes resembled the legendary eyes that could see through everything, like the Heavenly Eye Technique, one of the six divine abilities of Buddhism. Only Dai Bufan knew that this was a unique method created by Eldest Senior Sister, known only to her in the world.
Li Haoran only felt that all his secrets had been seen through by Eldest Senior Sister, from his growth experiences, his cultivation process, his mental journey…everything was laid bare before her eyes.
Yun Zhi withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and opened them again, and her eyes returned to normal. Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief as Eldest Senior Sister’s pressure was too strong.
“I see.”
She showed an unquestionable confidence, as if she had insight into certain matters.
Lu Yang promptly asked, “Eldest Senior Sister, what did you find out?”
Yun Zhi’s tone was flat and cold, saying:
“There are indeed things that I can’t figure out.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Eldest Senior Sister, is there something wrong with you?
