Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)

“Ah? The coordinates of my hometown?” Lu Yang was taken aback. His mind couldn’t process Yun Zhi’s words right away.

“Mmhm.” The blush on Yun Zhi’s charming face hadn’t fully faded, and her voice was very soft.

While Lu Yang was in seclusion, Yun Zhi had visited the Zhutian Civilization, where she found the Blue Planet’s coordinates in their historical archives. She had originally intended to tell Lu Yang after he emerged from seclusion, but he had gone straight to the Peach Blossom Secret Domain, disrupting her plans.

Right now, all Yun Zhi wanted was to get her little junior brother and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy to head for the Blue Planet and leave the secret domain.

Lu Yang clutched the slip of paper bearing the Blue Planet’s coordinates, his expression dazed. He hadn’t expected to suddenly learn of his hometown’s location.

“So this is where Xiao Yangzi’s hometown is.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s attention was indeed diverted. She stopped teasing Yun Zhi and flew to Lu Yang’s side.

As celestial bodies were constantly in motion, the Blue Planet’s location wasn’t a fixed coordinate but a formula. By substituting the time into it, one could calculate the Blue Planet’s current position. This was the universal method of marking coordinates among civilizations in the cosmos. After the Cultivation World entered the cosmos, it had also learned this theory and adopted the system.

“Then let’s go and see your hometown!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy waved excitedly. Having often heard Lu Yang mention it, she was very curious about his hometown.

As for Lass Yun, it’s not like she can run away. Upon recalling Yun Zhi’s expression, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy couldn’t suppress a grin. How satisfying! After going toe to toe with Lass Yun and matching wits with her for so long, I’ve finally come out on top for once!

“Second-in-Command, you’re leaving already?” Yun Mengmeng asked. Since Lu Yang had just arrived, she felt reluctant to see him go. She found it odd as well. Where is the Second-in-Command’s hometown? Isn’t it in the Cultivation World? Why does it sound like it’s somewhere very far away?

“Sister Mengmeng, you and Big Senior Sister stay here and keep Granny company. I’m just going to visit my hometown.” Lu Yang smiled.

“Alright then.”

Lu Yang smilingly bid farewell to each Yun Clan member and left the Peach Blossom Secret Domain.

The Peach Blossom Secret Domain’s entrance wasn’t fixed; it shifted constantly. At the moment, it was at the bottom of a lake in Shu Province.

The lake was rather famous locally, with many travelers visiting every year. Today, the locals held a poetry gathering, composing verses inspired by the lake and compiling poetry collections, hoping to leave their names in the county annals.

After someone improvised a poem, another person began to sing his praises. “A fine poem, what a fine poem, Brother Wang! After hearing it, I can vaguely sense my literary bottleneck loosening.”

“You flatter me, you flatter me. It was just an impromptu doggerel.” Although Wang knew it was flattery, he couldn’t stop grinning.

With a loud bang, the lake’s surface exploded, sending a column of water a hundred zhang high. A figure flew out, dashing and carefree, with hearty laughter ringing through the air as he vanished from sight, giving the scholars at the poetry gathering a huge fright.

“Who was that?”

“It looked like Lu Yang to me.”

“It looked like him to me, too.”

“Lu Yang? Why would he be here? And why was he laughing?”

“Could there be treasure at the bottom of the lake?”

The scholars discussed animatedly among themselves, no longer paying any attention to the poetry gathering. After all, that was Lu Yang, a top-tier cultivation expert! Even a bit of fortuitous opportunity that slipped through his fingers would be enough to benefit them for the rest of their lives.

With that thought, they dove into the lake, but found nothing. They could only report the matter to the commandery governor.

The county annals recorded it thus: Those present at the poetry gathering said that Sword Immortal Lu laughed and soared from Chongyang Lake. Upon hearing that, the commandery governor eagerly went to explore the lake’s secrets, but found nothing. Thereafter, several Divine Transfiguration cultivators learned of it and came to Chongyang Lake as well but ultimately ended up empty-handed.

Lu Yang had no idea his casual actions would inadvertently set so many things in motion. He piloted his wupeng boat into outer space.

Thanks to the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, several permanent spatial passages had been established between the Cultivation World and the Interstellar Alliance and between the Cultivation World and the Zhutian Civilization. Journeys that once took several months were shortened to days, greatly facilitating in-person exchange.

Lu Yang benefited from the convenience as well, quickly arriving at the Zhutian Civilization. In terms of distance, the Blue Planet was closer to the Zhutian Civilization. About to return to his hometown, Lu Yang felt nostalgic and excited.

His experiences on the Blue Planet had been far from ordinary. A sudden zombie crisis had plunged the entire city into chaos. He had struggled through the apocalypse, escaping from zombies countless times. During that period, he rescued the “doctor,” who had come to investigate the source of the zombie outbreak, only to discover that he himself was the source. The hospital director had transformed him into the first zombie, but he was special and had retained his rationality.

Later, the Blue Planet’s and the Zombie Planet’s planetary wills approached him, trying to rope him in. He chose neither side. Instead, he traveled everywhere, challenging Zombie Kings and ruling over all zombies. During this time, leadership of the safe zone was entrusted to the doctor.

After he defeated all Zombie Kings and governed all zombies, the Zhutian Civilization arrived in spaceships. At that time, the Zhutian Civilization wasn’t as powerful as it was now, and they hadn’t paid much attention to the Blue Planet. They only dispatched one spaceship and a few smaller ones.

Even so, it was a world-ending calamity for the Blue Planet. Fortunately, he had unified all of humanity through the zombies. With the combined strength of zombies and humans, they finally defeated the Zhutian Civilization’s spaceships.

After that, he piloted the Zhutian Civilization spaceship to a planet filled with spirit stones. This was the source of the Zhutian Civilization’s power. There, he engaged the Zhutian Civilization in a fierce battle and learned that the Zombie Planet’s Planetary Will had actually been sent by the Zhutian Civilization to sow chaos with the zombie virus, making it easier for the Zhutian Civilization to invade.

In the end, to stop the Zhutian Civilization, he self-detonated along with all the spirit stone veins. When he opened his eyes again, he had reincarnated in the Cultivation World.

Coincidentally, in both past and present lives, his name was Lu Yang.

Although his past life couldn’t compare to his current one in the Cultivation World in terms of power, it was still full of unforgettable experiences.

At that thought, he didn’t return to the Blue Planet immediately. Instead, he chose to linger in the Zhutian Civilization. There is still an enemy here.

A graceful young woman walked through the streets and alleys, preparing to head home.

“Sister Gu Yu, back so early?” The neighbors greeted the young woman with smiles. She seemed well-liked in the area.

“Yes. The bread sold out early today, so I came back early.” Gu Yu’s smile was breathtaking. Countless young men would have fallen head over heels for her at that moment.

Gu Yu was a mysterious figure to her neighbors. She ran a bakery nearby with excellent business and was friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. At the same time, she was so beautiful as if she didn’t belong to the mortal world.

Many had confessed their love to her, only to be rejected. Those with ill intentions toward her simply vanished without a trace. During holidays and festivals, mysterious figures visited her with grand entourages. Anyone could tell at a glance that they were prominent figures.

People speculated she was the daughter of some aristocratic family who was unwilling to stay home and came here to experience life. Gu Yu simply smiled at the rumors, offering no explanation.

Her house appeared identical to the neighbors’, but was in fact meticulously modified. Its interior was lined with writhing flesh. Across the entire Zhutian Planet, few houses had better security than hers.

She verified her biometrics and opened the door, only to see a stranger lying on her sofa. She immediately tensed up at the sight of them.

“Who are you?!” Gu Yu demanded, distracting the stranger as countless tentacles sprouted from the sofa, tangling around him. Even an elite Zhutian warrior couldn’t escape from them.

However, mysterious flames erupted from the stranger, burning the tentacles to ash.

Burning the tentacles seemed to be a trivial matter to the stranger. He rose slowly and walked toward Gu Yu, who was preparing to attack again.

“Long time no see, Miss Gu Yu, or would it be more appropriate to call you the Zombie Planet’s Planetary Will?”

Gu Yu’s pupils contracted sharply. My records are top-secret even within the Zhutian leadership. Who is he? How does he know my identity?!

“Who exactly are you?!” she shouted.

The stranger looked into Gu Yu’s eyes and slowly uttered the name that had terrified her into hiding.

“I am Lu Yang.”
