I Cheated While Cultivating

“Replying to the Immortal,”

Bai Husheng expressed the utmost respect, speaking softly, “It is said that the ancient spirit fox of fortune emerged from the great Dao of fortune itself, hence the bloodline divine skills of our clan are all related to fortune.

“This method uses my husband’s fortune as a guide by merging my fortune into the sea of fortunes of the Human Race, just like adding a grain of sand to the vast ocean, without causing any negative impact on the fortunes of Humans.

“And my husband will also slightly intertwine with the thin thread of Human fortunes, allowing his own fortune to grow, leading to smooth sailing in all matters, with his life and career prospering without fail.”

“Hmm,” Zhou Heng nodded lightly.

He had previously observed Yu He’s fortune using the Celestial Man’s fortune-viewing technique and indeed noted an increase in Yu He’s fortune.

The growth of fortune added a luster to Yu He’s already flourishing business, which in turn fed back into his fortune, further enhancing it.

This created a virtuous cycle, leading to an increasingly satisfying life.

Although it can’t be said that Yu He’s business success is entirely due to the enhancement of his fortune by Bai Husheng, this augmented part of his fortune definitely serves as a driving force.

“The Immortal’s insight is keen!” Seeing Zhou Heng nod, Bai Husheng felt slightly relieved and continued, “As for those pursuing me, I only recognize two of them.

“One is a Sect Fifth Rank Martial Artist from the Human Race, a servant of a Yu Que true person, the other is a warrior from the Feathered Tribe of the Holy Nation, roughly equivalent to Sect Fifth Rank, but he possesses unique abilities and might be stronger than an ordinary Grandmaster.

“However, beyond these two, there must be a more formidable presence overseeing the pursuit, but I’m uncertain of their identity. I can only speculate that it might be Yu Que true person’s mount, a fearsome great demon nearly at the level of a Celestial Man.”

As she mentioned Yu Que true person’s mount, Bai Husheng’s eyes filled with intense fear.

Within the Demon Clan, the nobility of one’s bloodline often determines future strength.

Therefore, demons of lower bloodline status habitually revere those of higher bloodline status. This respect is deeply ingrained in the marrow of the Demon Clan and is unrelated to personal power.

It was rumored that Yu Que true person’s mount was not only a great demon close to the Heavenly Human Realm with earth-shattering power, but it was also a genuine ancient exotic species with an extremely noble lineage.

Such a being was enough to instill a profound fear in Bai Husheng with just a thought.

“Are you talking about this one?” Zhou Heng lifted his hand, and a strand of golden flame appeared from the ground, lighting up the surroundings brightly.

When the flame dissipated, there lay a water-blue lion with eyes blazing with golden flames.

The Golden Flamed Water Lion had long lost its former might.

Firstly injured severely by Zhou Heng, then suppressed by the Laws of the Supreme Jade Pavilion Palace’s Cave Sky, it had become so listless that its body had shrunk to the size of a common dog.

“What, what is this?!” Bai Husheng’s pupils contracted suddenly, looking at the water lion in disbelief.

The moment she saw the Golden Flamed Water Lion, she felt a deep-seated fear from the depths of her soul, feeling as if the listless-looking water lion could crush her with a mere breath.

“Golden, Golden Flamed Water Lion?!” Bai Husheng exclaimed, “Is this Yu Que true person’s mount, the Golden Flamed Water Lion?! Immortal, you, you captured it?”

“Humans!” The Golden Flamed Water Lion, looking like it was on its last breath, fixed its gaze on Zhou Heng, gritting its teeth as it struggled to speak, “You are doomed, my master will come for me!”

“I hope he comes soon.” Zhou Heng chuckled and then tucked the Golden Flamed Water Lion away again.

“…” Bai Husheng suddenly fell into silence.

She knew Zhou Heng was strong. When Zhou Heng had visited the Yu Family before, she had clearly sensed that this Human Race Martial Artist’s fortune, although restrained, was actually as deep and immeasurable as an abyssal beast, far beyond her ability to rival.

But she had never imagined that Zhou Heng could be so powerful.

This was an ancient exotic beast, a Golden Flame Water Lion with strength nearly that of a Celestial Man, yet he had captured and imprisoned it—could it be that he wasn’t really a Grandmaster, but a Celestial Man instead?

Or could it be that this was the power of a great being reincarnated?

After his Cultivation Realm had recovered to Sect Fifth Rank, had he awakened even more powerful techniques from his past life?

For a time, many thoughts flashed through Bai Husheng’s mind.

However, in the end, all her thoughts and ideas converged on one point.

“Immortal Master, you, you’ve captured the mount of a Yu Que Real Person. This, this could possibly attract that great power to come here!” Bai Husheng’s complexion turned deathly pale as she trembled with fear. “That, that’s an exceptional Loose Immortal with Celestial Man strength!”

The seventy-two immortals of the Eastern Sea not only possess strength equivalent to Celestial Men but also have incredibly long lifespans, control various unbelievable and powerful Divine Skills, and hold secret inheritances, along with powerful and mysterious treasures. Even the top Demon Immortals might not be their match.

Therefore, in the nations of the Eastern Sea, the seventy-two immortals are supreme beings, lofty Immortal Homes that never fall, beings of utmost reverence and incomparable worth.

Now that Zhou Heng had captured the mount of a Yu Que Real Person from among the seventy-two immortals, if this were in the Eastern Sea, it would be a sin punishable by death, and even here in the Central Plains, it could not be guaranteed that the immortal wouldn’t come personally.

After all, to beat a dog, one must look at the owner. As a mount that accompanies a Yu Que Real Person, the Golden Flame Water Lion represents his master’s honor to some extent; being captured like this, the Yu Que Real Person would definitely not tolerate it.

“This is the Central Plains, not the Eastern Sea,” Zhou Heng said lightly, shaking his head with a smile. “You needn’t worry. Just as I told that lion earlier, if that Loose Immortal dares to come, then let him come.”

“But that is one of the seventy-two immortals of the Eastern Sea…” Bai Husheng was still incredibly panicked.

“You should go home,” Zhou Heng said with a wave of his hand to cut off her words, speaking indifferently. “It’s been a long time since you were home, and it wouldn’t be good if Yu He discovered your absence.”

“Immortal Master…” Bai Husheng hesitated but eventually transformed back into her white fox form. Then, turning into a wisp of green smoke, she prepared to drift back to the Yu Family.

…

In the Eastern Sea, the Supreme Jade Pavilion Palace.

This is the heart of the seventy-two immortal palaces, or rather, one of the core realms of the seventy-two immortals of the Eastern Sea, the residence of the legendary and exceptional Loose Immortal Yu Que Real Person.

There, myriad Martial Artists and Cultivators gathered along with demons and spiritual beasts, truly a gathering of many “immortals.”

In the deepest part of the Supreme Jade Pavilion Palace, there stood a splendid palace where an old man with white hair and beard but handsome features and a Taoist-like presence was sitting cross-legged, levitating in mid-air with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, emitting two beams of green light that pierced through the palace walls, appearing to see an incredibly distant scene as the corners of his mouth lifted to reveal a broad smile.

“Haha, the time has come! Even if you restrict us seventy-two immortals from entering the Central Plains, so what?

“Now that my mount has been captured, as its master, how can I not seek it out? With such a just cause, I ought to go to the Central Plains!”
