Who Let Him Cultivate?!

He had just been cheated by an icy cold Qin Haoran, leaving him a billion in debt, and had also been struck by lightning because he couldn’t pay off the debt.

He had just told the Master about the situation with the Heavenly Court.

Now he had to repeat it all over again.

He might as well write an autobiography to save himself from reliving those painful experiences again and again.

The two deputy masters were looking at Shi Huagu with a mix of doubt and astonishment.

The noise from the thunderbolt was too loud to ignore.

How could someone in the unification realm be struck by Thunder Tribulation? Had Shi Huagu made a breakthrough?

Shi Huagu, with a sullen face, detailed the incident in Guhuai Town, focusing not on Qin Haoran’s reincarnation as Qin Yanyan, but on the Heavenly Court’s teachings.

“The most powerful organization in ancient times, the Heavenly Court?”

“The first Immortal was Dou Tianzun?”

“Stars can be manipulated like soybeans; what kind of divine art is that!”

The two deputy masters gasped in shock as Lu Yiyang revealed many ancient secrets in just a few sentences.

The first Immortal carried a significant weight; a great figure who had paved the way for Immortal cultivation. To call him the ancestor of Immortals would not be an exaggeration.

Aspires of the Jiuchong sect, they were far more privy to secrets than ordinary unifiers. However, even they didn’t know that the first Immortal was Immortal Jiuchong.

“Did Immortal Jiuchong usurp Dou Tianzun’s position to become the first Immortal?”

“They all say that the Geniuses of the ancient era were as mighty as dragons, filled with vigor, capable of swallowing mountains and rivers as their strength ruled over all. Who would’ve thought there would be so much underneath it all!”

Seeing the two deputy masters gradually absorbing the information, the Master started speaking slowly: “In fact, I know a thing or two about the Heavenly Court.”

“Please enlighten us, Master.” The two deputy masters felt enlightened. They had the chance to learn about all these secrets of ancient times.

The Master seemed pleased with their eagerness. He also stopped beating around the bush and began to share his knowledge.

“I once randomly stumbled upon an ancient book written by Immortal Jiuchong.”

“I had someone translate it, giving only an overview. There were missing characters and sentences, but it was enough to understand the content of the book.”

“The book mentioned the existence of ‘Heavenly Court’ and stated that countless Immortals existed in ancient times. The creation of a Dao Fruit and becoming an Immortal was just the first step in the Dao path. After an Immortal, there was a Saint, beyond the Saint was a God, and beyond a God was a Supreme God. The number of realms filled people with awe.”

“The Heavenly Court was the organization of the Supreme God realm, controlling all creatures and all laws!”

The two deputy masters and Shi Huagu heard these things for the first time, and were unconsciously leaning forward, attracted by the ancient secrets.

“That’s not the same as what Lu Yiyang said. Is he lying?” Shi Huagu frowned.

The Master made a gesture: “Listen to me. Later, I found another ancient book written by Yingtian Immortal.”

“The name of the book was ‘Imprisoning Heaven’, and its main content was describing the ancient Heavenly Court. The book said that Immortals can be divided into Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Sky Immortal, Gold Immortal, Daluo Gold Immortal, and Hongmeng Immortal. It also said the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court was called the Tian Emperor, who lived in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, with the two saints and the three pure ones as the actual rulers of the Heavenly Court.”

“The book described it in such detail that it felt as if the readers were there. For a moment, I thought Yingtian Immortal had written a novel.”

“But upon careful thought, I realized it wasn’t right. Yingtian Immortal was a celebrated figure, an Immortal. How could an Immortal have the leisure to write a novel? This went against common sense.”

All three deputy masters nodded, agreeing with the Master’s logic.

“After that, I came across another ancient book written by Yingtian Immortal. The book mentioned the Heavenly Court, and also divided the immortals into levels: First Level Immortal, Second Level Immortal, Third Level Immortal, Fourth Level Immortal, Fifth Level Immortal!”

“The content of the book greatly differed from ‘Imprisoning Heaven’!”

“Why are there such contradictions?” Three deputy masters were amazed. Was Yingtian Immortal schizophrenic?

The Master shook his head: “I was initially unsure of the reason too. Even after racking my brains, I couldn’t figure it. I sought advice from old scholars who studied ancient times, but they couldn’t provide an answer either. They just said there were many contradictory points about the ancient period that were unexplained to this day.”

“But just now, when I found out about the existence of Heaven’s Court, everything made sense.”

“What do you mean?”

The Master said seriously, “The Heavenly Court did exist in ancient times, but it wasn’t divided into many levels as Jiuchong Immortal and Yingtian Immortal stated. Rather, it was like Lu Yiyang said, Dou Tianzun ruling over the Heavenly Court and Jiuchong Immortal seizing the throne.”

“Jiuchong Immortal, Yingtian Immortal, and others intentionally falsified history to cover up the truth.”

They quickly imagined the scenario in ancient times:

Dou Tianzun was the first to become an Immortal. He established the Heavenly Court and became the ruler of the ancient times. He was kind-hearted and did not prevent future beings from becoming Immortals, eventually leading to Jiuchong Immortal, Yingtian Immortal, and others becoming Immortals in succession.

Jiuchong Immortal and others, for their own gains or other objectives, attacked the Heavenly Court, defeating Dou Tianzun. The Heavenly Court fell from its position of ruler, and Jiuchong Immortal and others became the new rulers of ancient times.

Anxious about the legitimacy of their rule, Jiuchong Immortal and others usurped the name of the Heavenly Court, creating a false Heavenly Court that was completely different from the truth, leaving future generations unsure of which to believe.

“So that’s what happened!” The four of them felt a thrill as they conjectured, feeling as if they had uncovered a corner of the ancient secrets.

“In that case, can the origins of our Jiuchong Sect be traced back to ancient times?”

The Jiuchong Sect had always claimed its existence traced back to ancient times, but lacked proof. Now, with the confirmation of the Heavenly Court’s teachings, the Jiuchong sect could finally hold its head high.

“Lu Yiyang must have kept some information from us. Although nine truths are mixed with one lie, most of the information should be true. We can attempt to connect with them!”

“Moreover, the pressure from the Righteous Path on us is intensifying. The Heavenly Court, being a superior force from ancient times with profound foundations, can easily withstand the attacks from the Righteous Path!”

They all agreed that establishing contact with the Heavenly Court would be beneficial.

They mutually agreed not to discuss the matter of Qin Haoran and Qin Yanyan. For the inheritance left behind by Qin Haoran, they couldn’t possibly admit that Qin Yanyan was the reincarnation of Qin Haoran.

If they acknowledged it, wouldn’t they have to give Qin Haoran’s heritage to the Heavenly Court?

Despite them not being able to access Qin Haoran’s inheritance yet, they understood instinctively that a great power in the Half Step Transcendance Tribulation Stage and a figure like the demonic sect Master couldn’t possibly have left behind a meager inheritance.”

They absolutely couldn’t let the Heavenly Court have it!

Even if they believed that Qin Yanyan was the reincarnation of Qin Haoran.

“We should go to Yanjiang County to connect with them and get a sense of their strength.” The Master made the final decision.

“Why a barbecue restaurant though? Any theories?”

Shi Huagu analyzed seriously, “Looking at the history of cooking, the first cooking technique mastered by the human race was barbecuing. The Heavenly Court’s teachings may be implying their long history through this.”

“Sounds plausible!”

“Old Shi’s insight is commendable!”

The three of them praised Shi Huagu for his clear thinking, making him feel better. The pain from the lightning seemed to have lessened a bit.
