Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1025 - 1024

After breaking free from the torrent of time, Lu Yang found himself riding on the back of the Nian Beast Clan Leader, surrounded by fiery red clouds that matched the color of the Nian Beasts perfectly.

The Nian Beasts, wrapped in the fiery red clouds, shuttled and played around the world, invisible to all.

"Fairy, did you see the vision just now?" Lu Yang’s heart skipped a beat. In some time in the future, a box-world would open, meaning that the Dao Fruits of the Five Ancient Immortals had all been gathered, and the hidden enemy was vanquished— or could it be that the powers of Great Qian had gathered the Dao Fruits of the Five Ancient Immortals?

"Ah, what? What did you just say?" Fairy Eternity sounded as if she was still sleepy, her consciousness drifting.

"I was asking if you saw the vision just now?" Lu Yang didn’t think too much about it; the Fairy hadn’t been herself only since today.

"The vision just now was of me... wait, what did you see?" Fairy Eternity suddenly remembered what the Time Immortal had told her about observing the future; each person’s vision of the future might not be the same.

"It’s about the box-world opening up. Why, did we see something different?"

"The same, of course the same."

"Time Immortal once told me about this phenomenon, saying that if you’re caught in the torrent of time, you can see the past and the future. What has passed is certain, but the future is uncertain. The future we see is just one of many possibilities."

"So that’s how it is."

"So, did you see the future?" the Nian Beast Clan Leader carrying Lu Yang laughed.

"I’ve already told you, being able to see us Nian Beasts is a chance many can’t even beg for."

"So, what did you see, kid? Did you see yourself becoming a Great Cultivator, or did you envision a harem of wives?" The Nian Beast Clan Leader asked with a laugh, not out of curiosity, but merely finding the topic interesting. Lu Yang pondered for a moment; despite its fearsome appearance, the Clan Leader was a good beast. There was no need to hide this from the Nian Beast Clan Leader.

"I saw the box-world being opened."

No sooner had Lu Yang finished speaking than he felt the Nian Beast Clan Leader he was riding on abruptly stop, and he was flung forward by inertia, tumbling a couple of times before coming to rest in front of the Clan Leader.

"What did you say?!" The Nian Beast Clan Leader looked at Lu Yang in astonishment. Based on experience, the future seen by people who enter the torrent of time is always closely linked to themselves.

The other Nian Beasts also showed faces of disbelief at this news.

Although the future Lu Yang saw was only a possibility, even as a mere possibility, it was terrifying.

Could it be that the opening of the box-world was intertwined with this youngster’s fate?!

What did this youngster do in the future?

"The world was opened, is there a problem?" Lu Yang was utterly puzzled, not understanding why the Nian Beasts were reacting so strongly.

"Fairy, do you know the reason?"

"Not a clue." Fairy Eternity didn’t think there was anything to it. Little Yang had revived her first, then found the Yingtian Immortal, and who knows whom he might find next. Wasn’t it quite normal for Little Yang to share a causal connection with the opening of the box-world?

"Nothing, nothing at all." The Nian Beast Clan Leader, realizing his own overreaction, hastily reassured that everything was fine.

The Nian Beasts cherished their freedom above all else and dreaded nothing more than coming into contact with someone with significant causality like Lu Yang, lest they get entangled in that causality themselves.

"By the way, I forgot to ask earlier, are you from the Seek Dao Sect?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know Yun Zhi?"

"I do, she’s my Eldest Senior Sister."

"Hahaha, so that’s how it is, my apologies. It seems we’ve had a fateful encounter, we shall meet again!"

The Nian Beast Clan Leader no longer had the desire to carry Lu Yang around for fun. A person of great causality, and also the Junior Brother of a major demon—it was better to stay away from him!

The Nian Beasts, riding on the fiery clouds, swiftly fled, leaving Lu Yang alone where he stood.

```

"Wait, at least send me back first!" Lu Yang chased the fire-cloud riding Nian Beast as the Clan Leader flew with him for half a day. Where had he taken him?

However, even Yun Zhi couldn’t catch up with the time-traveling Nian Beast, how could Lu Yang possibly catch up?

Lu Yang pursued but shortly lost sight of the Nian Beast’s figure and had no choice but to give up.

"Speaking of which, where is this place?"

Lu Yang noticed a bustling city not far away, filled with fireworks bursting in the air in vibrant colors: swastika shapes, lotus shapes, and Buddha Beads shapes — all incredibly beautiful. From where Lu Yang stood, he could clearly hear the sounds of fireworks from the city.

The city was surrounded by boundless desert.

Lu Yang landed and approached the city, looking up to see two large characters engraved above the city gate.

Western Heaven.

...

"This is bad, the Second-in-command has been captured by the Nian Beast!" Yun Mengmeng saw the Second-in-command disappear before her eyes. Recalling that he had just boasted about fighting the Nian Beast, panic set in.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no... That’s right, seek help from Xiao Zhi."

With this thought, Yun Mengmeng flew out of Seek Dao Sect like the wind, leaving Li Haoran standing there, still clueless.

He hadn’t yet figured out why Lu Yang had brought him here.

"Senior Brother Lu has been captured by the Nian Beast, is that a New Year’s tradition or something?"

Worried about Lu Yangxin, Yun Mengmeng hurried away from Seek Dao Sect, heading straight for her old home, the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

She flew over a lake and with a splash, she dived into the water, swimming straight to the bottom.

The Secret Realm sensed Yun Mengmeng’s arrival and a whirlpool appeared on the lake bottom, sucking her in.

Back home, Yun Mengmeng was greeted by the familiar scent of peach blossoms. The Peach Blossom Secret Realm was warm and welcoming, with peach trees blooming everywhere, fragrance hanging heavy in the air.

The rivers branched out like tree limbs, and the surface of the water emitted a dense fog of Spiritual Energy, maintaining the concentration. The entire Secret Realm’s concentration of Spiritual Energy was comparable to that of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

"Mengmeng." People of the Secret Realm smiled and waved at Yun Mengmeng, who were also celebrating New Year’s, frolicking and welcoming the new year.

"Senior Sister Nianger, where’s Xiao Zhi?" Yun Mengmeng asked urgently.

"Xiao Zhi? She should be with Granny. What’s the hurry, why do you need her?"

"It’s urgent, I’ll explain later."

When Yun Mengmeng found Yun Zhi, she was leisurely chatting with Granny, recounting tales of the outside world.

"Mengmeng is back? Come, sit by Granny," Granny beckoned with a smile.

Despite being called Granny, she looked remarkably young, around twenty-something, and was very composed in her actions.

"Hmm? Mengmeng, why are you here?" Yun Zhi asked as she set down her teacup, slightly puzzled.

"Happy New Year, Granny, I’ve got an emergency and can’t stay," Yun Mengmeng said.

"It’s serious, Xiao Zhi. The Second-in-command has been taken away by the Nian Beast!"

"Really? What happened?"

"Well, the Second-in-command and I were watching fireworks, and all of a sudden, he rolled on the ground with a ’clang’, then swiftly pinned something down, saying it was the Nian Beast. Afterwards, I don’t know how, but the Second-in-command jumped up and brought Li Haoran over, like he introduced him to someone. And then, ’whoosh’, as if something snatched him up, he just vanished."

Yun Zhi set down her teacup, ignoring the onomatopoeic words in Yun Mengmeng’s description, and thoughtfully said, "I see, so that’s what happened. No worries, it should be fine."
