Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 374: Chapter 373: Great Yu Imperial Teacher_1

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou felt touched when Lan Ting defended them. The gratitude they felt was as intense as they would for reborn parents.

By contrast, Fairy Eternity seemed to enjoy the spectacle, unfazed by the possible consequences. Thankfully, Lu Yang acted swiftly by covering her mouth with his hand, otherwise the outcome might have been disastrous for him.

“Let’s go. Let’s head back together,” Yun Zhi said before flying to the foot of the mountain. Seeing her action, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou bid farewell to the others and hurriedly caught up.

“We’ll go ahead first!”

“We will meet again.”

“Come and visit us in the Laurel Fairy Palace when you have time.”

The five of them bid farewell to each other. Now that the festival was over, they all had their own matters to attend, hence they couldn’t always be together.

Once Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou reached the base of the mountain, Yun Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, “Get in.”

Meng Jingzhou looked strangely at the old horse. It appeared very different from what it normally does – dull fur, droopy eyes like it had reached old age and every day was a bonus.

However, the old horse in front of them now was completely different. Shiny hair, spirited – a fine steed that was a rarity in this world.

Yun Zhi held a soul-locking chain in her hand with the other end extending from the carriage, tethering the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign outside the carriage like a balloon. It looked rather comical.

Seeing the old horse, once a haughty great demon, now willingly pulling the carriage, the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign was convinced of his previous guess.

This horse, a great demon that transformed into a dragon horse, must be the mount of a semi-immortal Great Power!

“Don’t get ahead of yourselves. The Imperial Teacher will definitely restore Great Yu!” The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign laughed wildly, his expression fierce.

Annoyed by his laughter, Yun Zhi formed an imprint with her hand and sealed his senses, preventing him from making any sound or sensing anything from outside.

“Imperial Teacher? The Imperial Teacher of Great Yu is behind all this?” Lu Yang searched his memory for information about the great teacher once he got into the carriage.

“What is an Imperial Teacher?” Fairy Eternity asked. She had not yet fully understood the knowledge of the current world, much less the extinct system of the Imperial Teacher.

“The Imperial Teacher is a unique system of the Great Yu Dynasty. You could consider the Great Yu Dynasty as a Sect, and the Imperial Teacher is like the Protector of the Sect, ensuring its continued existence.”

“The system of Imperial Teacher was established around 200,000 years ago, at the inception of the Great Yu Dynasty. The story goes that the first Imperial Teacher was the teacher of the first Emperor Yu, and it was him who helped establish the Great Yu Dynasty.”

“The first Emperor Yu, who managed to overthrow the prior ruling dynasty and unify the Central Continent, was indeed a powerful leader. Unfortunately, none of his descendants were as competent as him – they lacked both the talent for cultivation as well as the vision to govern a country.”

“At that point, the first Emperor recalled his old teacher, and established the position of Imperial Teacher, inviting his teacher to take up this position. Thus, the role of the first Imperial Teacher was created.”

“Historical records show that the system of the Imperial Teacher did indeed make significant contributions after the death of the first Emperor Yu. The prosperity of the early Great Yu Dynasty could probably be attributed to the Imperial Teacher’s success in cultivating a capable Emperor and ruling the country effectively.”

“However, this came with a consequence. The Imperial Teacher effectively became the ruler of the Great Yu Dynasty. At the height of their power, they could even replace the Emperor Yu with just a declaration. Despite this leading to the betterment of the Great Yu Dynasty, it’s doubtful that any emperor would be willing to serve under an overlord.”

“Moreover, while the first Imperial Teacher served the Great Yu Dynasty with utmost dedication, can we say the same for his successors? Did they serve the Great Yu Dynasty, or did they serve their own greed?”

“By the late period of the Dynasty, the Great Yu Dynasty appeared prosperous on the surface but was fraught with danger in reality. The power struggle between the Imperial Teacher and the Emperor Yu intensified. There were instances of assassination, manipulation, use of honey traps, usurpation…one incident leading to another, no one knew what their opponents had planned.”

“Flashback to the ‘Summit of Flat Top Mountain’ that took place 110,000 years ago – tensions came to a head. The Imperial Teacher’s party and the Emperor’s party had a fallout and a great war broke out at the Flat Top Mountain. At least eight individuals in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage participated in the war, not counting those who fought secretly.”

“The Imperial Teacher and the Emperor Yu both suffered defeats leading to a loss in their top fighting resources. The control of the Great Yu Dynasty plummeted, resulting in the eruption of suppressed conflicts and marking the beginning of the Dynasty’s downfall.”

“Do you remember the ancient Transcendance Tribulation Stage being then captured by Eldest Senior Sister, the Blood Demon Venerable? He was once an Imperial Teacher.”

“Blood Demon? Oh, I remember now. There were a few ancient Unification Stage individuals in the Buyi Town Ghost Stories who mentioned to Miss Yun about some treasures they left behind in the Three Stand Cave Heaven for their resurrection, right?”

“Later, Miss Yun ran into the Transcendance Tribulation Stage who was in deep sleep in the Three Stand Cave Heaven. That must be the Blood Demon Venerable you mentioned.”

“Yes, I searched about him later. In the late period of the Great Yu Dynasty, the Blood Demon Venerable supported an Emperor Yu and became the Imperial Teacher. He chose to hibernate for the Great Era struggle and was caught by Eldest Senior Sister when he woke up.”

“Hmm… if I remember correctly, the Blood Demon Venerable was just at the early stage of Transcendance Tribulation. Was the late period of the Great Yu Dynasty so weak?”

As the leader of the Five Immortals of the Ancients, Fairy Eternity looked down upon all in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, considering them all as trash.

However, the fact that a person at the beginning of the Transcendance Tribulation could become the Imperial Teacher reflected upon the weakness of the Great Yu Dynasty at that time.

Given the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign’s admiration of “Imperial Teacher,” the “Imperial Teacher” seems to have a high cultivation level.

“The late period of the Great Yu Dynasty was chaotic, with significant wear and tear of the higher-ranked powers. There were not many individuals in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Plus, those who were stronger than the Blood Demon Venerable were not interested in the position of Imperial Teacher, thus giving him the advantage.”

“For example, the first and second Imperial Teachers had advanced cultivation levels. Some speculated that they were at the peak of Transcendance Tribulation, others believed they were at the Semi-Immortal level. But no one knows for certain what their actual level was.”

Fairy Eternity responded, “That’s not very high, either. Does Great Xia have an Imperial Teacher position? I could reluctantly take it.”

Lu Yang thought to himself, if she became an Imperial Teacher, Great Xia would probably get torn apart before the Great Era even arrived.

“Fairy, you must have forgotten, I mentioned before that the Imperial Teacher is a unique system of the Great Yu Dynasty. Great Xia doesn’t have such a position.”

“Oh, that’s a shame.” Fairy Eternity regretted the loss of an opportunity where she could demonstrate her abilities.

Just as Lu Yang was about to say something, he heard Eldest Senior Sister say, “We’ve arrived, get off the carriage.”

Lu Yang was taken aback, touched by the fact he was already home.

How long had it been, not even an hour?

Meng Jingzhou glared at the old horse discontentedly. When it was pulling Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to Qingzhou, it took several days. But when pulling the Eldest Senior Sister, it took less than an hour?

Was it faking its incompetence to such an extent?

“Old horse, tell me honestly, what is your exact realm?” Meng Jingzhou whispered while hugging the old horse’s neck.

The old horse snorted without paying him any attention.

Meng Jingzhou was both angry and helpless. He could not beat the old horse.

“I’ll go to Captive Peak to see if I can get any information out of him. You two are free to do as you please.”

Eldest Senior Sister, holding the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign, flew towards Captive Peak.
