Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1021 - 1020

```

When Lu Yang rushed back to Sky Gate Mountain, he saw Eldest Senior Sister holding Mid-heaven Emperor Lord by the throat with one hand while her fist greeted his face.

Mid-heaven Emperor Lord’s head tilted to the side, and he became motionless.

"Is he dead?!"

Lu Yang was shocked; Mid-heaven Emperor Lord had made his entrance like an emperor who consumed the heavens and swept through the eight wastelands, so how had he fallen so quickly?

"It seems it’s just a clone."

Fairy Eternity said after taking a look at Mid-heaven Emperor Lord.

"But it can still be useful." Yun Zhi’s hands formed a gesture, and using some unknown magic skill, a red line appeared on the clone of Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, stretching out towards the unknown distance.

"I’m stepping out for a bit."

Leaving these words behind, Eldest Senior Sister vanished, leaving only an Illusory Shadow in her place.

"What is this?"

"Miss Yun is reversing causality, attempting to use this opportunity to calculate the location of this person," explained Fairy Eternity. Although the clone was activated by the main body and the connection was severed immediately, traces were still left behind.

An hour passed, and Yun Zhi flew back with three Mid-heaven Emperor Lords.

"Why so many?"

Lu Yang thought this was like wholesale.

Placing these Mid-heaven Emperor Lords down, Yun Zhi shook her head in disappointment: "He was not controlling this clone with his main body, but through his main body controlling a clone, which then controlled another, and so on, until the last clone came to our sect."

"I pursued three clones in a row, but the connection beyond that was too weak; I couldn’t reverse-engineer the subsequent clones."

"Nevertheless, it’s not entirely fruitless. Based on the Soul Search results of these four clones, I’ve learned a few things."

"What things?"

Yun Zhi informed Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity about the dark shadow that invaded the Fairy Palace and about the leaked information regarding Tang Chuanwu.

Lu Yang roughly unraveled the sequence of events behind this incident.

"So, Mid-heaven Emperor Lord realized that the dark shadow wanted to use him as a test, and since he dared not come in person, he sent a clone instead. If the clone could capture Tang Chuanwu, it would mean the dark shadow didn’t betray him, and all would be well."

"If the clone fell into our sect’s hands, then it would relay this part of its memory to us as revenge against the dark shadow?"

"It seems the dark shadow is the mastermind."

"But the question remains, how did the mastermind learn about Tang Chuanwu’s situation?"

Lu Yang furrowed his brow; he had discovered Tang Chuanwu by chance. Could it be that the mastermind also stumbled upon him accidentally?

"Did the mastermind know about Tang Chuanwu all along, secretly observing and looking for clues about the user of the Time Dao Fruit?"

"Or did he just happen to discover Tang Chuanwu too?"

After pondering for a moment, Yun Zhi speculated, "It might not be entirely coincidental."

"Perhaps it was the battle between Grey Immortal and Meng Junzi that drew the mastermind’s attention."

"Subsequently, the mastermind stayed in Buddha Country temporarily and just happened to notice something unusual about Kaihuang City."

"Don’t forget, in the sixth reincarnation, you, Little Junior Brother, and Junior Brother Meng attracted the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Ruthless Sect after fighting with their two Elders."

"In the eighth reincarnation, you, Little Junior Brother, and Junior Brother Meng chose not to fight with the Ruthless Sect Elders but had Junior Brother Dai engage in battle instead. That’s the difference."

```

"Junior Brother Xiao Yang, you’re unaffected by reincarnation because of the presence of Fairy Senior, but the behind-the-scenes antagonist may not be aware of this."

"Later, the behind-the-scenes antagonist traced back to Tang Chuanwu through what happened in Kaihuang City and, out of caution, didn’t make a move. Instead, he informed the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, hoping he would test the waters."

Yun Zhi glanced at the four clones still lying on the ground, continuing, "Out of caution, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord really only made a tentative move."

As the designated hours arrived, the four clones gradually dissipated, leaving nothing behind, not even suitable for Refining."

"Or it could be that he could use the Causality Dao Fruit to ascertain Tang Chuanwu’s situation, like knowing that the more people who are aware of Tang Chuanwu’s Time Retrospection, the stronger the causality becomes, allowing the behind-the-scenes antagonist to sense Tang Chuanwu through the Dao Fruit."

"Or perhaps the behind-the-scenes antagonist found Left Historian Fairy, using her Insight Dao Fruit to locate Tang Chuanwu." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

As the Fire Dynasty fell, Left Historian Fairy likewise disappeared. The Insight Dao Fruit has no combat power, but it’s very useful for finding people."

The three of them thought for a long time but couldn’t be sure how exactly the behind-the-scenes antagonist had found Tang Chuanwu.

"Don’t let Tang Chuanwu leave the Sect for now."

This incident means that not only the Great Qian Dynasty but also the behind-the-scenes antagonist are aware of Tang Chuanwu’s existence, which is more dangerous than Li Haoran’s situation. Leaving the Seek Dao Sect, he could be captured the next moment."

...

"Wuhu, New Year is coming."

Inside the Spiritual Space, Fairy Eternity tore down the Imperial Palace and built a small wooden hut. She put up couplets, wrote the character for ’fortune,’ hung up the big red lanterns, and, dressed in bright red clothes adorned with festive decorations, everything exuded celebration.

For cultivators with extended lifespans, it is customary to celebrate once every ten years, and Seek Dao Sect was no exception.

Not just in Lu Yang’s Spiritual Space, but the entire Seek Dao Sect was filled with joyous vibes, with big red decorations visible everywhere. Everyone was dressed in new clothes, and Senior Brothers and Sisters who were out on missions all returned. No one would take on missions this month, instead, whenever they met, they would grin and greet each other with a festive "Happy New Year."

Fairy Eternity spread out writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the ground. She lay on the ground, kicking up her small feet, licked the writing brush to moisten its tip, dipped it in ink, and started writing the couplets with serious attention.

"Job well done!"

Having written the couplets, Fairy Eternity got herself covered in ink spots, with several streaks of ink accidentally marking her face.

Those who achieve great things are not bound by trifles. Fairy Eternity, being such a person, naturally did not care for these details.

She floated in the air to put up the couplets while Lu Yang stood at the doorway watching.

"Little Yang, take a look, are these couplets even?"

Lu Yang looked up, reading the couplet seriously.

First line: After this meal, there’s still the next

Second line: After today comes tomorrow

Title: Another year passes

"Great, Your Majesty has written a well-matched, naturally flowing couplet that can be passed down for generations."

"As the saying goes, food is paramount for the people. This first line’s focus on food reflects Your Majesty’s philosophy of valuing the people over the monarch. As for the second line, it seems extraordinarily plain and ordinary, yet it actually contains the oft-overlooked principle of time. Your Majesty’s mention will surely broaden the people’s understanding!"

"This title is a stroke of genius, adding yet another layer to the couplet, indescribably wondrous. Indeed, it is indescribably wondrous."

"Looking at the five years since the establishment of the Great Bean Dynasty, not one sovereign has had Your Majesty’s talent."

"Your Majesty possesses an abounding literary grace, serving as a role model for scholars the world over, truly admirable."

"Hehe, it’s not that good," said Fairy Eternity, scratching her head bashfully. She merely wanted to know if Little Yang thought the couplet was hung straight.

But Little Yang spoke his heartfelt words, and she couldn’t say it wasn’t her intention.
