Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 330: Chapter 329: Then the Immortal Business Can Be Accomplished, Nine Nether Can Prosper_1

“The depth of Heaven’s Court is indeed admirable!” Having confirmed that the other party was the ancient Heavenly Court, Shi Huagu no longer maintained a probing demeanor, now was the time to discuss cooperation in earnest.

He believed that with the help of Heaven’s Court, the power of the Nine Nether Sect would reach new heights.

“It’s embarrassing to admit, despite my attention to detail in discussing these matters, they are the stories my master told me. I wasn’t born when those events took place.”

Although Lu Yang spoke with apparent shame, the confident expression on his face couldn’t be concealed no matter what.

Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan remained cold and silent, like ruthless killers.

Despite their acting skills and numerous practice before setting off, they felt that in this situation, the best approach was to remain silent and pretend to be high-level cultivators.

Fifth Elder felt that Lu Yang, deserving of being the top-ranked of his generation, had an intricate and watertight response to every query. When the Seek Dao Sect’s Nine Sons were at Lu’s age, they couldn’t match Lu’s mastery of conversation.

Meng Jingzhou had doubts. He didn’t know much about ancient myths and didn’t know whether what Lu Yang was saying was true or false, but he always felt that what Lu Yang was saying was true, but not entirely true.

Huo Huashen felt as ignorant as an illiterate person. He didn’t understand a word of the conversation between Lu Yang and Zhou Shan, but that was fine. His role here was to add prestige. He didn’t need to know these things, as long as he maintained the image of a cold and ruthless top-level cultivator.

“Although Daoist Lu refers to me as the master, I actually hold the position of deputy master in the Nine Nether Sect. On this visit, I have the authority to decide on the cooperation with your sect on behalf of the master.”

“The master had two questions for me to convey to your esteemed sect before coming.”

“I will answer all that I know.”

Shi Huagu said in the tone of the master, “The Nine Nether realm is lost in dust, the Righteous Path ignores the truth and refuses to acknowledge the existence of the Nine Nether. We kill people to send them to the Nine Nether in an attempt to prove its existence, but the Righteous Path labels us the Demon Path. It’s utterly detestable!”

“In the ancient times, the Nine Nether and Heavenly Court were equally famous, both spectacular. Today, the Nine Nether suffers humiliation and degradation, which is heart-wrenching.”

“The foundation of the Nine Nether Sect is far less than that of the Nine Nether in ancient times. Revitalizing the Nine Nether would be extremely difficult. With the fall of the Eternity Sect, the Four Great Devil Sects have been reduced to three, our situation has become even more challenging.”

“However, we still believe in the existence of the Nine Nether and the cycle of reincarnation. Our Nine Nether Sect wishes to regain its former glory and let the Nine Nether reappear in the world as in ancient times. I wonder if your esteemed sect has any method?”

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yang said, “The Central Continent is a must-contest territory. Currently, this continent is occupied by the Great Xia Dynasty, with the dominance maintained by the Five Great Immortal Sects. Our Heavenly Court’s followers have not yet fully awakened, only five of the nine Protectors of Heaven’s Court have been resurrected. Even if the two of us join forces, I am afraid we cannot resist the attack of the Five Great Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty.”

“Therefore, a forcible attack is absolutely impossible.”

“I wonder if Master Shi has studied the rise of the Great Xia Dynasty. After I awakened, I wanted to know what happened in the last three hundred thousand years, so I studied history.”

“During the end of the Great Yu Dynasty, there was great chaos in the world with heroes rising everywhere. There were countless people who crossed provinces and prefectures. Neither the ancestors of Emperor Xia nor those of the Meng Family were outstanding at the time, so how could they emerge victorious against stronger opponents and become the only two contenders for the throne?”

“Because they captured the advantage of ‘timely opportunities’ and ‘human harmony’.”

“What is ‘timely opportunity’? The Great Yu Dynasty lacked the power to rule, resulting in upheavals and conflicts, this is a ‘timely opportunity’!”

“What is ‘human harmony’? Strong individuals and public opinion align, that is ‘human harmony’!”

“By contrast, the Great Xia Dynasty is now at its peak, the strongest it has ever been, showing no signs of fatigue.”

“Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty governs well and is favored by public sentiment. It is helped by the various lackeys of the Five Great Immortal Sects who patrol the world. I even suspect that the Great Xia Dynasty has immortals among them!”

“Neither the ‘timely opportunity’ nor the ‘human harmony’ are there, hasty action would be a poor choice.”

Shi Huagu said indignantly, “Is there really no day for my Nine Nether Sect to rise?”

Lu Yang said calmly, “That’s not the case. The principle of being at its peak and then declining is historically inevitable. Although the Great Xia Dynasty seems to be thriving, in reality, it’s on the brink of collapse.”

“The Great Era is approaching, new immortals will be born in the Great Era, the Demon Territory and the East Sea are eying the Great Xia Dynasty. The strong individuals of the Great Qian and Great Yu eras, who have been dormant, are also gradually awakening. It’s possible that we will see the scene of the end of the Great Yu era.”

“By then, the Great Xia Dynasty’s advantage of ‘timely opportunity’ will be completely gone!”

“So, before the great upheaval arrives, it is essential to keep a low profile and avoid rashly promoting the Nine Nether, which could lead to unnecessary trouble. The downfall of the Eternity Sect serves as a cautionary tale!”

“Furthermore, considering the human factor, I believe even with some hidden cards, your esteemed sect would find it hard to gain an advantage in the struggles of the Great Era.”

“The Nine Nether Sect doesn’t have enough strong cultivators. The plan for now is to diligently cultivate, increasing the number of Unification Stage and even Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators!”

“During this process, the Nine Nether Sect should seek external alliances with the Demon Territory and East Sea and form internal alliances with the Ruthless Sect and the Yaoyang Sect.”

“When the struggles of the Great Era arrive, our two sects can act together, then we can achieve immortality, and the Nine Nether can rise.”

Shi Huagu found Lu Yang’s words stirring, and the future seemed full of glory.

They had been too impatient before, rushing to build Fengdu, rushing to prove the existence of the Nine Nether. Listening to Lu Yang’s words now, their previous actions seemed utterly wrong!

The current restraint is for future development. It was laughable that he lived so long and still failed to understand such a principle.

This was the difference in vision. The Heavenly Court ruled the ancients, reading the past and understanding the present. Their rivals were the Four Immortals of the Ancients with endless years like Yingtian Immortal. The Nine Nether Sect was simply not on the same level as them.

Caught in his excitement, Shi Huagu didn’t forget the question given by the master before he left, “The master has another question for your esteemed sect.”

“Please ask.”

“The master asked your sect about your views on the economic development of the Nine Nether Sect?”

Shi Huagu didn’t understand why the master asked that. He felt that the economy of the Nine Nether Sect was doing well. When Master Qin was there, he couldn’t even meet the regular salary payments on time. The new master, upon taking charge, not only made the salary payments on time but also allocated funds to build Fengdu.

Lu Yang’s lips curled into a knowing smile, “It seems that the master of your esteemed sect is a person with a keen eye.”

“How so?”

“I just mentioned that the most important thing for your esteemed sect at present is to focus on cultivation. Before cultivating, what do you need? You need a large amount of Spirit Stones!”

“So, before cultivating, you need to make money in Spirit Stones!”

Shi Huagu suddenly realized, he was a bit embarrassed, he didn’t expect the other party to understand the master even better than he did.

“So, how to earn Spirit Stones?”

Lu Yang stretched out his index finger, pointed towards the ceiling, and smiled, “Master Shi, how do you think this barbecue restaurant’s business is?”

Shi Huagu thought of the long queue outside the door, “It is indeed very good.”

“What if I say that we can open such barbecue stores all over the Great Xia Dynasty?”

“What?!”
