Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 200: 199: Who Could It Be?_1

Chapter 200: Chapter 199: Who Could It Be?_1

The Black Shadow knew that he was no match for Yun Zhi, the gap between them was too wide, and his chances of escaping successfully were extremely slim.

Rather than expose himself, it would be better to self-destruct as soon as possible to preserve the safety of his main body.

If Yun Zhi were to find his hideout, both the war of this Great Era and his main body would be out of the picture.

Damn it, why are there such people in the Central Continent?!

Could it be that the fortunes of heaven and earth are all concentrated in the Central Continent?!

And why would Fairy Eternity resurrect?

Besides them, who else knows about the existence of Fairy Eternity, let alone her name?

How exactly did Fairy Eternity resurrect?

Only by uttering her honorific and true name would she resurrect, so who said it?!

As described, the Eternity Dao Fruit indeed defies all time, even if it perishes entirely, it can resurrect.

As the Black Shadow prepared to self-explode, an array of questions flooded his mind, none of which he could answer.

His self-destruction was silent; his body turned into dust, that in turn turned into Spiritual Energy, returning to the realm between heaven and earth.

“He escaped?” Lu Yang asked in confusion, unable to comprehend the Black Shadow’s techniques.

Yun Zhi shook her head gently, her eyes reflecting regret and coldness: “No, he killed himself.”

“Will his main body know about the situation here? About Fairy Eternity?” Lu Yang thought back to the words that the Black Shadow uttered before he self-destructed, “It’s a pity that my main body doesn’t know about the situation here.”

Was he trying to play tricks or was that really the case?

Yun Zhi’s words defied Lu Yang’s thoughts: “His main body won’t know about this, nor would his clone dare to let it know.”

“If his clone could let his main body know about his situation, then I could find the main body through the connection between the clone and the main body.”

Lu Yang simply couldn’t understand Eldest Senior Sister’s tactics.

“However…” Yun Zhi’s eyes revealed some confusion, as though pondering over a problem.

“However, what?”

“The Black Shadow felt very familiar. I may have plotted against him in the past.”

Both Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity were taken aback.

Continuing on, Yun Zhi explained: “This was probably from a hundred years ago. I accidentally noticed an Immortal showing up on the Central Continent. I asked him to reveal his identity but he refused my request. As a result, we ended up fighting.”

“He probably didn’t anticipate my strength. As soon as we crossed hands, he was immediately on the back foot. I pursued eminently and managed to injure him. Seeing no good outcome in continuing the fight, he feigned an attack on the town below. While I was protecting the town, he managed to escape. By the time I wanted to pursue him, he was nowhere to be found.”

“That person, always concealing himself within a chaotic mist and using very common techniques, was hard to trace. He was very much like the Black Shadow we encountered today.”

Yun Zhi believed that the Black Shadow she encountered today was the same person as the one from a hundred years ago.

Lu Yang contemplated. If Eldest Senior Sister’s guess was right, the Black Shadow’s words “As I thought, your strength is far greater than what you show to the outside world” was pretense, feigning ignorance of Eldest Senior Sister’s strength – all lies.

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more it seemed likely. If he didn’t know about Eldest Senior Sister’s strength, why would his first reaction be to self-destruct rather than escape? This didn’t make sense.

From the beginning to the end, the Black Shadow hardly said a few words and most of them were probably false.

Sneaky old thing.

Immortal Eternity was left feeling relieved. Even though the two fairies didn’t hold back when hitting him, some even hitting quite hard, at least they didn’t kill him.

If he fell into the hands of the Black Shadow, aside from having his Dao Fruit being taken away, there was a high chance he would be killed to prevent any loose ends.

“Fairy, can you guess who he might be?” asked Lu Yang.

Immortal Eternity frowned, hesitating: “The Immortal Jiuchong excels at utilizing clones, but if the other three wanted to imitate him, they could.”

“Is it possible that, apart from you five, there are other immortals as well?” Lu Yang continued.

Once Lu Yang asked this, even Immortal Eternity became uncertain.

Could it be that Immortal Jiuchong isn’t the first Immortal after all?

“How did you guys determine that Immortal Jiuchong was the first Immortal then?”

Immortal Eternity remembered, “When Immortal Jiuchong became an Immortal, a divine light burst forth and divine music played throughout the heavens and earth. A flurry of colorful rain descended from the heavens, bringing blessings and cheers, and bestowing benefits upon all beings on earth. However, when the four of us became Immortals later on, these phenomena weren’t present.”

Lu Yang was taken aback: “So, this is the special privilege of the first to become an Immortal?”

Yun Zhi nodded. She had seen records about Immortal Jiuchong’s ascension in ancient texts, which aligned with Immortal Eternity’s words; or rather, Immortal Eternity, as one of the people involved, described everything more meticulously.

The first to become an Immortal truly is extraordinary.

Immortal Eternity shook her head: “No, later when we five were dining together, Immortal Jiuchong drank excessively and confessed that all the strange occurrences at that time were created by him secretly. He depleted a lot of heavenly treasures.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Yun Zhi: “…”

Why is it that every time they listen to Immortal Eternity recount ancient peculiar events, their understanding of things gets overturned?

Lu Yang even felt that the ancient times Immortal Eternity talked about, was not in the same style as the Black Shadow.

…

In a mysterious place, a silhouetted figure sat on a throne piled up by bones.

He opened his immortal eyes, releasing boundless divine light that pierced through a corner of the heaven and earth.

The moment the divine light flashed, the whole ground filled with dead bodies and bones illuminated under the divine light, appearing especially eerie.

The black figure rose slowly, moving his body and knitting his brows: “Why is this chair so uncomfortable?”

“Whose idea was it to make a chair out of bone piles? There isn’t even a cushion.”

The black figure shook his head, deciding to find another place to sleep.

Suddenly, the black figure sensed an anomaly and hummed.

“Sir, what’s wrong?” a servant asked carefully.

“The clone I sent to the Eternity Sect has gone missing?”

This black figure could always sense the connection with his clone and determine its location.

Just now, the clone lost contact with him completely, which meant the clone was wiped out by someone.

This clone, which had consumed countless efforts, was just gone like that, and he felt heartbroken about it.

“What? Sir’s clone has gone missing?!” The servant was shocked, his expression clearly genuine.

Sir was an Immortal, and a clone of an Immortal was sufficient to dominate the world. How could it disappear in the Central Continent?

The black figure contemplated: “Who could have done this?”

The first person he ruled out was Immortal Eternity. A soul created by the power of thought could only do so much. There was no way he could quietly kill his clone.

On the Central Continent, there were only a handful of people capable of killing his clone.

He didn’t go there personally but sent a clone to investigate the situation because he was worried about being discovered by several individuals on the Central Continent.

He didn’t want to reveal his identity yet.

He had tampered with the clone. Even if it was captured, this would absolutely not divulge his identity. Instead, it might even mislead others based on the disinformation given by the clone and cast suspicion upon other Immortals.

One should be careful throughout their life.

Otherwise, they would end up careless and heartless like Immortal Eternity and probably get killed one day.

“Was it that fellow in the palace? Was it Yun Zhi from the Seek Dao Sect? Or someone else?”

His clone was actually hidden in the Eternity Sect. Those who may have had contact with his clone would only be the Great Xia Dynasty, who was always committed to combating demonic sects, and the Five Great Immortal Sects who deal with suppressing demons and exorcising evil.
