Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 428: Dispersing One’s Cultivation to Cultivate Anew

“Dispersing one’s cultivation to cultivate anew?” It was Lu Yang’s first time hearing of this term. The literal meaning is quite easy to grasp though.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy replied with composure and conviction. “That’s right. Many cultivators receive no guidance at the start of their cultivation, making their cultivation journey rough and their foundation unstable. The consequences may not be severe at lower cultivation realms; at worst, they get outmatched in a battle by someone like you, whose foundation is solid enough to challenge those beyond your level. But once they reach higher cultivation realms, the problems become glaring. They hit bottlenecks easily, stagnating for centuries or even millennia without the slightest progress in their cultivation.

“And at that point, they face a choice—dispersing their cultivation to cultivate anew.” When it came to cultivation knowledge, no one could rival her.

“To disperse one’s cultivation is akin to reincarnation, where one retains their memories but reverts to being an infant, starting over from scratch. With the memories of their cultivation from their last life, they can avoid many mistakes, know how to solidify their foundation, and seize opportunities they once missed due to their overly high cultivation or old age. For outsiders, there’s no way for them to tell if someone has reincarnated and cultivated anew. Even examining their bone age or other methods cannot reveal anything.

“However, dispersing one’s cultivation to cultivate anew comes with three problems. First, it has strict cultivation requirements. One must be at the Fusion Stage and at their peak. That is when their essence, qi, and consciousness can fuse and ensure their true spirit doesn’t extinguish after dispersing their cultivation. If one attempts to disperse their cultivation in old age when their essence, qi, and blood are disoriented, the only outcome is failure, where their soul dissipates and can’t be saved.

“Second, when you cultivate anew, you’re as defenseless as a newborn, incapable of even eating and crawling. Even if you survive infancy, the cultivation world isn’t safe. You never know when you might provoke enemies and meet an untimely end while growing up.

“Third, one’s innate talent and spirit root cannot be guaranteed. For instance, if you used to possess a Dual Spirit Root, but upon beginning anew, you might end up with Triple or even Quadruple spirit roots. Under such circumstances, even with your past cultivation experience, reaching your former heights would be challenging.”

Lu Yang nodded. The concept sounds similar to Li Haoran’s situation, but it’s not exactly the same. At the very least, Li Haoran has been reborn as a completely new individual, with his next life’s talent surpassing the previous one. Each has its pros and cons.

No wonder Huang Ming is so hard to deal with. It’s like fighting a Fusion expert who’s suppressed his cultivation realm to my level.

“By the way, did any of the Five Ancient Immortals disperse their cultivation to cultivate anew?”

“No.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy counted on her fingers. “I was born in a small tribe, the Heaven Mandate Immortal was a refugee, the Nine-Layers Immortal was the first successor of the Lianshan Clan, the Qilin Immortal was nurtured by heaven and earth, and the Epoch Immortal was a Jianmu World Tree that gained sentience.”

Lu Yang asked, “Can you tell who Huang Ming was in his past life, Immortal Fairy?”

She shook her head. “No, I can’t. If not for that mental attack far beyond this cultivation realm, I couldn’t have determined that he’s a reforged cultivator starting afresh.”

Lu Yang pondered. Does the Corpse-Driving Sect know about Huang Ming’s rebirth? Why did he choose to cultivate in the Corpse-Driving Sect? With such talent, he could’ve joined one of the Five Great Immortal Sects. Is he scared of something? Or is there something special about the Corpse-Driving Sect?

“Never mind, let’s not think so much for now.” Lu Yang grinned with excitement as he unsheathed his Qingfeng Sword. This is my first time facing a reforged cultivator—time to get serious.

Huang Ming gazed at Lu Yang solemnly with not a trace of complacency left, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. As a cultivator who had dispersed his cultivation to cultivate anew, he couldn’t tolerate defeat at the hands of a junior. That was why he had made an exception by employing the Mental Arrow.

It’s absolutely impossible for an Intermediate Golden Core cultivator to withstand the Mental Arrow, even those who specialize in cultivating their mental power!

How did he do it? Could it be...he’s like me, also a reforged cultivator who dispersed his cultivation to cultivate anew?

Little did he know that when Lu Yang was at the Basic Foundation Establishment Stage and had just resurrected the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, she had forced him to open a mental space, causing his mental power to be far stronger than his peers of the same age. Subsequently, with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy constantly messing around in his mental space, its size and resilience grew exponentially.

When it came to mental power, no one at the Golden Core Stage could beat Lu Yang.

“Slash!” Lu Yang roared, unifying his essence, spirit, and consciousness. Sword qi brutally erupted like a shining silk, and the dazzling blade carved a ferocious arc in the air as it slashed toward Huang Ming.

Watching from the sidelines, Zhao Po felt his hair stand on end. Even witnessing the sword attack from the side, he could sense its terrifying power. Is this really a sword move that an Intermediate Golden Core cultivator can execute?

The Drowned Ghost also got a fright. Only now did he realize Lu Yang had been holding back during their early battle. Otherwise, this strike alone would have been enough to leave me severely wounded and passed out! freeweɓnøvel~com

The sword strike came too fast and furious for Huang Ming to dodge. If he resisted it head-on, however, defeat would be inevitable. Gritting his teeth, Huang Ming focused on a thought. In a flash, he vanished and was replaced by his walking corpse.

He had switched places with the walking corpse in an instant!

“Corpse Swap Transportation?!” Zhao Po gasped in shock. I didn’t expect Senior Brother Huang Ming to have mastered even a secret spell like this! One can only master it at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Huang Ming panted heavily, swallowing a Qi Restoration Pill to replenish his spirit energy. Forcibly casting the secret spell had instantly drained his remaining spirit energy.

The walking corpse took the full brunt of the sword strike and was cleaved cleanly in two. However, countless crimson threads sprouted from the severed sections and wove together until the puppet returned to normal.

No longer holding back, Huang Ming controlled his walking corpse to attack Lu Yang simultaneously.

Most Corpse Drivers had weak physical bodies and could only engage in combat by controlling their walking corpses. However, Huang Ming possessed both a strong physique and mental power, allowing him to fight personally while controlling his walking corpse, eliminating the typical weakness of Corpse Drivers.

His combat power skyrocketed!

Zhao Po stared blankly at the scene. Every one of Huang Ming’s methods had overturned his understanding. So the gap between us is actually this vast?

“Hah! Now this is interesting!” Despite the fight becoming a two-on-one, Lu Yang showed no intention of backing down. Like a warrior god, he grew more ferocious the more he fought.

“No wonder you could become a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect! You do have some skill. But this is as far as you go!” Huang Ming’s wolf-like eyes gleamed with ruthlessness and resolve.

“With your talent, you’ve probably never tasted defeat among your peers, have you? Today, I’ll let you experience it!” A contemptuous smile played on Huang Ming’s lips.

“Red spider lilies bloom; the cosmos is reshaped!” This was his final and strongest trump card. If I still lose, there’d be no point in having dispersed my cultivation and cultivating anew to compete for clout in the upcoming Great Era—I might as well end my life now.

Brilliant crimson spider lilies blossomed, while Huang Ming and his walking corpse had their eyes turn bloodshot. Their auras surged like bamboo shoots clambering upward, and their nails elongated, resembling the sharp claws of wild beasts. Under such a momentum, even the ground trembled, as if an earth dragon was turning in its sleep and shaking the mountains.

“Two against one! Let’s see how you win now!” Huang Ming’s face twisted, confident that victory was in his grasp.

“It’s indeed getting rough if this keeps up,” Lu Yang muttered before shrinking into the earth. He retrieved the Twin Lotus Seed and activated the Tree Planting Mantra.

Under Huang Ming’s stunned gaze, amid the field of red spider lilies, a lotus bloomed, and from it emerged two Lu Yangs. One wielded the Qingfeng Sword, while the other wielded the Mingyue Sword.

Lu Yang’s mouth curled into a leisurely smile.

“Now it’s two against two.”
