Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 148: Three Stand Cave Heaven_1

“What is this ‘Relic Blessed Cave’?” Meng Jingzhou wasn’t there during the rigorous interrogation.

Lu Yang explained, “The one we interrogated is called True Master Sanli. He left a Cave Heaven behind. The rule is only those at the Foundation Establishment Stage or below can enter, and his lifetime of treasure is stored inside.”

“The lifetime wealth of someone at the Unification Stage?” Meng Jingzhou drew in a sharp breath. Lu Yang had no concept of the magnitude of this wealth, but Meng Jingzhou did. He knew how astonishing the wealth of an Unification Stage cultivator could be. Looking at the wealth of the elders in his home, he knew it was a treasure that couldn’t be exhausted in a lifetime. He had always been envious since childhood.

If they could acquire it, or even a small portion of it, they would be set for life.

Even a colossal establishment like the Seek Dao Sect couldn’t neglect the wealth of an Unification Stage cultivator!

“And it only allows Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to enter. Hehe, isn’t this giving us an opportunity?” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shared knowing smiles. Secret realms with such limit on cultivation levels were perfect for them.

The Eldest Senior Sister brought them here, which clearly indicated that she considered their talents and wanted both of them to enter the Relic Blessed Cave.

The cloud they flew on moved so swiftly that to someone looking up from the ground, it would appear as if the cloud whizzed across the sky in the blink of an eye, so fast that it seemed almost like an illusion.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the location mentioned by True Master Sanli.

The geographic divisions during the Great Yu era were different from the present. By today’s terms, True Master Sanli’s Relic Blessed Cave was located underneath the sixteenth tree from the top of Big Wave Mountain in Huayun County on the eastern side of Ji State.

Yun Zhi touched the tree trunk, felt the space fluctuating, and confirmed that there was indeed a Cave Heaven here.

The Cave Heaven was well concealed and hard to detect. Even someone as powerful as Yun Zhi had to be extremely close to discern whether it existed.

True Master Sanli’s Cave Heaven had not yet been discovered by anyone else.

Yun Zhi lightly knocked on the trunk with the back of her index and middle fingers. Along with the distortion that followed, a pitch-black hole appeared before the three of them.

The entrance was a swirling black vortex, the black space inside continuously rotating. Runes flashed within the space, indicating that someone had cast a rule over it. It was a Cave Heaven that was owned, and not easily infiltrated.

The entry rule of this Cave Heaven was that one had to be under twenty years old and at the Foundation Establishment Stage to enter.

Just as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were under the impression that the Eldest Senior Sister was about to ask them to enter, they saw her seize both edges of the black vortex with her hands, forcibly tear open a large hole. At this moment, all rules disintegrated, none of them could restrain the Eldest Senior Sister.

Lu Yang: “…”

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

Wasn’t this supposed to be their moment of glory? Why didn’t it feel like what they had imagined?

Did they seem a bit redundant being here? Why did the Eldest Senior Sister bring them here?

When Lu Yang voiced these questions, Yun Zhi tilted her head thoughtfully and said, “Didn’t you two come up immediately when we left Captive Peak? I didn’t ask you to come with me.”

Alright, now they really felt superfluous.

Inside the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity burst into hearty laughter.

The three of them entered the Relic Blessed Cave. They saw a vast grassland filled with elephants munching on leaves leisurely, lions chasing antelopes, and large beasts prowling ambiguously within a dense rainforest on one side.

Lu Yang keenly felt his cultivation being suppressed. He could only exhibit the strength of the late stage of Qi Refinement.

Then, cloud formations spelled out a striking warning in front of the trio.

[This place is dangerous, leave swiftly.]

[This place is dangerous, leave swiftly.]

[This place is dangerous, leave swiftly.]

[If you insist on entering, please remember the rules of Three Stand Cave Heaven, they could save your life.]

[First Rule: Everyone’s cultivation level will be suppressed to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage.]

[Second Rule: Unable to communicate with the outer world.]

[Third Rule: Three Stand Cave Heaven only has a grassland and no rainforest. If you see a rainforest, do not enter.]

[Fourth Rule: Lions are kind. If a lion is pursuing you, do not run. It just wants to play.]

[Fifth Rule: Antelopes are a kind of Demon Beast that walk upright. They have spiral horns on their heads. It is normal for antelopes to laugh, do not be scared.]

[Sixth Rule: There are no elephants on the grassland. If you see an elephant, seek shelter from the lion. The lion will protect you.]

[Seventh Rule: If you accidentally venture into the rainforest, do not panic. Keeping calm is a prerequisite for survival in the rainforest.]

[Eighth Rule: The gorillas in the rainforest are humans in disguise. Therefore, it’s normal for them to talk. However, gorillas will not initiate conversation.]

[Ninth Rule: Do not drink the water from the rainforest.]

[Tenth Rule: If you encounter a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast, mimic the gorilla’s cries. The Demon Beast will leave on its own.]

[Eleventh Rule: All the above rules are true.]

Then, Lu Yang saw several lines written in blood on the ground below them. The bloodstains were messy, as if written hastily in panic:

[Hurry up and run, this place is dangerous!]

[There’s been a change here!]

[Note! These are the real rules of Three Stand Cave Heaven!]

[Three Stand Cave Heaven has both a grassland and a rainforest. The rainforest is safer than the grassland!]

[Lions are at the Golden Core Stage and eat humans on sight!]

[Antelope do not walk upright. If you hear an antelope laughing, leave swiftly!]

[Elephants will protect you!]

[Stay calm in the rainforest!]

[Do not initiate conversation with gorillas, or you will turn into one!]

[If you feel strange changes in your body, hurry and drink the water from the rainforest. It will save your life!]

[Do not mimic gorilla cries; it will attract Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts!]

[The rules of Three Stand Cave Heaven are all false…]

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou became cold with fear upon seeing the bloodstains.

The message was left unfinished, with the last word “is”, drawn out into a long bloody streak. It looked as if someone had tried to crawl out of the Cave Heaven desperately but was caught by an unseen and terrifying creature and dragged back in, leaving behind a conspicuous trail of blood.

Both of them felt their scalps tingle. What was inside this Cave Heaven?

“There’s a big problem with these rules; they contradict each other at every turn. Are the first set of rules correct, or is the latter set?”

“Based on our experience in Buyi Town, are the first set of rules considered formal, and therefore correct?”

“Not necessarily. There’s nothing to indicate that the more formal set of rules are the correct ones. The latter set, although they appear hastily scribed, could also represent a form of rule.”

The two men were at a loss. They were currently only at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Stage. This place was teeming with Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stage demon beasts, with whom they could not contend. Their only chance was to outsmart them. But there were two different sets of rules, and they couldn’t tell which one was true. If they made the wrong choice, they would be doomed beyond redemption!

“Don’t panic. There must be a solution. One rule says that lions are friendly, and the other says they eat humans. One says elephants are killers, and the other insists they can protect us. We could draw the lion and the elephant together and see who would protect us, that way we could determine which rules are the real ones…”

“Is it possible that both sets of rules are half true and half false that they are made to trick people?”

“This is getting a little complicated.”

Just as the pair were racking their brains, trying to devise a survival strategy, they saw Yun Zhi raise her arm, revealing her fair wrist, and she gently let out a palm strike.

It was clearly not a palm strike at the Qi Refinement stage. The surge of the palm carried a terrifying power, making the lions, antelopes, elephants, and gorillas scamper for their lives.

It didn’t matter whether they were predators or protectors, faced with this palm, they all had the same option: run.

Her palm strike cut a path through the grassland and rainforest, opening a straight path to the end point.

How could the rules here restrain Yun Zhi?
