Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)

The plot had gone completely off the rails. The comment section of The Legend of Heavensea Planet was exploding with comments. The audience could no longer predict where the story would go next. All the lengthy analyses and plot breakdowns posted by gurus before the broadcast had been rendered null and void.

└What’s going on? This new character knows he’s being filmed for a TV show?

└Can any gurus come out and explain? Has this absurd new character really never appeared before?

└Let me see who dares say The Legend of Heavensea Planet’s climax is boring now! All that talk about "you can guess what’s coming next at a glance" and "it’ll either be Zhan Po leveling up or Shi Lingyun breaking through to defeat the King of Aberrant Beasts."

The viewers furiously typed out their thoughts. This was too thrilling! Today’s episode was absolutely electrifying!

The director and his crew felt as though they had been doused with ice water, chilling them to the bone.

“How did he discover the cameras?” Nanoscale cameras were completely undetectable to the naked eye.

As the backbone of the group, the director was the first to regain his composure. “He probably has some kind of scanner on him that detected the cameras. Stay calm, everyone.

"He can only talk to us through the cameras. He has no idea where we are! Even Ma Jie doesn’t know Heavensea Planet’s position within the Interstellar Alliance. It’s useless even if he captures Ma Jie!”

The crew recognized the logic in his words and gradually calmed down.

“Mr. President, is there anything you would like to say? For instance, who is behind you? Or where are they?” Lu Yang then downed his tea in one gulp and set down the cup, savoring the aftertaste. The flavor is average, and the poison is equally mediocre.

The expressions of the seven salvation squad members shifted dramatically. As part of the Ten Great Experts, they possessed not only peak combat prowess but also extraordinary intellect. Although Lu Yang hadn’t spelled things out, they could piece things together from the few words he had let slip.

The president’s ashen complexion only confirmed their suspicions. But one question remained—if everything had been a television production, what was real and what was fake? Had only the seven of us been kept in the dark, or had the entire Heavensea Planet been deceived? What did everything we have been through amount to? Was it mere entertainment for the amusement of others?!

“President Ma Jie, answer Mr. Lu’s question!”

President Ma, who had remained silent with a pallid face, finally cracked a smile. “Mr. Lu, you truly are an unforeseen variable.”

He then pointed at his mouth, and his expression twisted with menace. “I have a nuclear bomb detonator and tracking device embedded in my teeth. I’d advise you to leave. If I bite down on the button, a nuke would be launched straight at this city, and we would all go down together!”

Now that our television production scheme has been exposed, I mustn’t fall into their hands. Even if Lu Yang didn’t settle accounts with me, the salvation squad and the entire population of Heavensea Planet would drown me in spit!

President Ma’s identity as the head of the former Ten Great Experts wasn’t just a plot device; he truly possessed the ability to back it up. Even Zhan Po and a fully empowered Shi Lingyun together would be no match for him.

However, he also knew that no matter how strong he was, he could never stand a chance against Lu Yang, who had annihilated all aberrant beasts with a single strike. The only option now is to flee! I am equipped with the most advanced anti-tracking device and signal emulator. Even with a scanner, Lu Yang won’t be able to locate me!

The salvation squad was torn. If a nuclear warhead detonated here, the whole city would perish. But letting President Ma go just like this was a bitter pill to swallow. While everyone was in a dilemma, President Ma dropped two smoke grenades from his sleeve, obscuring their vision. His laughter echoed through the haze as he vanished.

When the smoke dispersed, everyone saw Lu Yang pinning President Ma to the ground with one foot. President Ma’s shattered teeth were scattered all around him.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. “If you’d gotten away, where would I put my face?”

“How is this possible?!” President Ma was horrified. When I released the smoke grenades, I’d even generated multiple decoy signals. How could Lu Yang have found me? Is his technology truly so much more advanced?

“I can tell you who’s behind me. I’m a citizen of the Interstellar Alliance, and I have the Alliance Television Network behind me. I suggest you let me go; otherwise, when the interstellar fleet arrives, you’ll be the one to die!”

“Interstellar Alliance?” Lu Yang caught an interesting term. It sounds like a leviathan faction in the universe, with technology far more advanced than Heavensea Planet’s. Perfect timing. I can bring the Interstellar Alliance’s technology back to the cultivation world to benefit the common folk.

But President Ma’s uncooperative stance is a bit troublesome. If I directly search his soul, it will turn him into a vegetable. That would be letting him off too easily, and the people of Heavensea Planet would lose one target for their vengeance. However, without a soul search, I have no way to locate the Interstellar Alliance.

Suddenly, Lu Yang noticed the nano-cameras were still filming. He could sense them transmitting some kind of signal. Probably some electromagnetic waves or some term I’ve never heard of. But that isn’t important. What matters is that the other end of these cameras should be connected to the Interstellar Alliance.

He pinched a camera and studied it pensively, sending waves of panic through the crew on the other end. But soon, reason prevailed over emotion. We have no reason to be frightened. Lu Yang can only communicate one-way through the cameras. He can’t find us at all.

“Origin Tracing.” Lu Yang uttered a word no one could understand.

His Origin-Tracing Incipient Dao Fruit locked onto the nano-camera, and a line extending across the starry void appeared before him, visible only to Lu Yang himself; even the Everlasting Immortal Fairy couldn’t see it.

“As I thought, I can trace the camera’s source.” The more he used his Origin-Tracing Incipient Dao Fruit, the more he marveled at how convenient it was.

Lu Yang kicked President Ma over to the salvation squad. “He’s all yours. I’m going to pay this Interstellar Alliance a visit.”

“Mr. Lu...”

Without giving them time to bid farewell, Lu Yang eagerly summoned his wupeng boat, leaped through space, and followed the line extending from the camera toward the Interstellar Alliance.

With nothing left on Heavensea Planet that could threaten the salvation squad, the planet’s remaining problems could be put aside for now. On the other hand, the Interstellar Alliance was an unknown factor. If he wasted time and let the crew slip away, the situation would become disastrous.

“What do we do? What do we do? Is he coming here?!” The crew was in a frenzy, completely unable to comprehend Lu Yang’s abilities.

Just how advanced is the other party’s technology? Why is he like a god?!

The director once again brought the situation under control and calmed everyone down, shouting, “Don’t panic! You all know how far Heavensea Planet is from the Alliance. There are countless asteroid belts in between. He won’t get here that quickly! Let’s call the authorities or have the higher-ups deploy the military!”

Being caught by the Interstellar Alliance’s government was far preferable to falling into the hands of that mysterious alien. With the director’s connections, he could at least avoid a death sentence, but there was no telling what that alien could do.

“Yes, yes, yes! An alien attack is an act of terrorism! No, this is an invasion! Hurry, get the government to protect us!”

Just as everyone was about to contact the world outside for help, a thunderous crash sounded from above. The roof was torn open, and the massive promotional sign for The Legend of Heavensea Planet atop the building was hurled down before them.

A small boat sailed down through the moonlight. The alien in ancient garb, hands tucked into his sleeves, piloted his wupeng boat to descend upon the Interstellar Alliance.
