Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 575 - 574: The True Identity of the Ancient Nameless One

```

At the very bottom of the continent, not few cultivators have the ability to reach its depth, yet rarely do any choose to do so, lacking the consciousness to pursue it.

Lu Yang was no exception; he had never considered traveling to the very bottom of the continent using Earth Shrinking to view the scenery on the other side.

It wasn’t until his Third Senior Sister mentioned it that he decided to take action.

The bottom of the continent was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen; Lu Yang wanted to use his Spiritual Sense to investigate, but he was stopped by Fairy Eternity.

"Don’t use your Spiritual Sense to look. This thing is beyond your understanding; just one glance could overwhelm your mind."

Lu Yang obediently backed off, leaving matters of immortals to the immortals themselves; he would not interfere.

"Stay back a bit; I’m afraid something unpredictable might happen and affect you."

Fairy Eternity was seeing this sort of thing for the first time. Listening to the description given by that little girl Gan Tian, the barrier’s characteristic is its impenetrability, but who knows if it has other functions like reflecting damage or something.

Lu Yang retreated further.

"Why are you rushing so far away?"

Fairy Eternity called Lu Yang back, and he obediently returned. Fairy Eternity lightly tapped Lu Yang’s forehead twice, linking them with her Spiritual Sense.

In this way, no matter how far Lu Yang ran, as long as he did not go beyond the range of the Spiritual Sense, the two could communicate.

However, to prevent Lu Yang from suffering a mental shock, Fairy Eternity did not share her visual perspective with him as she had done previously.

"That’s fine, you can go now."

Once she saw that Lu Yang had reached a safe area, Fairy Eternity unfolded her Spiritual Sense, analyzing inch by inch. Under the power of her formidable Spiritual Sense, the structure of the continent’s bottom layer appeared before her eyes, increasingly furrowing her brows.

"There are two barriers set up here, each corresponding to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and the Immortals. The first barrier cannot be breached by the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and the second barrier cannot be breached by Immortals."

"Isn’t there a position corresponding to Semi-Immortals?"

"The biggest difference between a Semi-Immortal and the Transcendance Tribulation Stage is the possession of a Dao Fruit Outline. You can consider a Semi-Immortal as a transitional phase between the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and an Immortal.

If you possess a Dao Fruit Outline at the early stage of Passing Tribulation, you are a Semi-Immortal, and if you possess one at the pinnacle of Passing Tribulation, you are still a Semi-Immortal."

"The difference between these two types of Semi-Immortals is in their foundational strength."

"It’s only when a Semi-Immortal condenses a complete Dao Fruit and becomes an Immortal that their overall strength will leap in quality."

"So that’s how it is."

Although Lu Yang was only at the Eighth Heaven of the Golden Core stage, he had already acquired a vast knowledge that even those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage might not possess.

"Such a complex structure; who laid it?"

Fairy Eternity gently tapped the first barrier; it was chiseled open, numerous runes twinkled, converging into a beam of white light. The white light flickered, and the barrier was restored to its original state, seamless, as if it had never been damaged.

This entire process didn’t even last half a breath’s time.

When Fairy Eternity tried to tap the barrier in the same way again, there was not the slightest change in the barrier—no signs of damage or holes at all.

"This is..."

Fairy Eternity hesitated.

"Fairy, what’s the problem?"

"The barrier is operating on two types of Dao Fruits."

```

"Two kinds?"

"The Time Immortal’s Time Dao Fruit and the Qilin Immortal’s Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit."

"The Time Dao Fruit allows time to flow backward, restoring the damaged barrier to its original state, while the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit prevents the same attack from breaking the barrier."

"Wait, no, that’s not right. The strength of this barrier also includes the Immortal Jiuchong’s Yin-Yang Dao Fruit. The Yin-Yang Dao Fruit has imbued the concept of ’hardest’ into the barrier. The first layer is so hard that not even one at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage can penetrate it, and the second layer is so hard that not even the power of an Immortal can break through."

The nature of a Dao Fruit is to add a rule to the world. As long as Fairy Eternity desires, she could add the ’Immortal Rule’ to the whole world, making everyone forever young and undying."

The barrier operates on the same principle; Time Immortal, Qilin Immortal, and Immortal Jiuchong, these three Immortals extended the rules of their Dao Fruits to the barrier, making it indestructible and the hardest existence that not even Immortals could breach."

"Still, that’s not right. If those three Dao Fruits were here, I’d be able to recognize them at a glance, not repeatedly test and deduce the Dao Fruits from the phenomena... unless there’s also Yingtian Immortal’s Tribulation Dao Fruit."

"Right, there should also be the Tribulation Dao Fruit. Using the Dao Fruit, Yingtian Immortal executed ’Limitless Tribulation,’ completely scrambling and reorganizing the rules of the Dao Fruits of Time Immortal and the others."

"What exactly is ’Limitless Tribulation’?"

"It’s complicated to explain, but you can think of it as the largest and most chaotic of calamities. Executing such a calamity, even Yingtian Immortal cannot resolve it."

"And applying the Limitless Tribulation to the barrier is akin to tying a dead knot; unless you cut the rope, no one can untie it."

"So you’re saying that this barrier is the handiwork of the Four Ancient Immortals, but even if they were all called over, they couldn’t undo it?"

"That’s the gist of it."

Lu Yang took in a sharp breath. The Four Ancient Immortals really went all out. What were they trying to do?

"Does that mean to say, the so-called Ancient Nameless Ones are the Four Ancient Immortals?"

Now that the composition of the barrier had been analyzed and attributed to the doing of the Four Ancient Immortals, then the Ancient Nameless One famed for refining stars into the mainland, could it be the Four Ancient Immortals?

Everyone fell into a logical misstep; the Ancient Nameless One wasn’t a single person but four.

"It is indeed the four of them!" Fairy Eternity nodded affirmatively, her face brimming with a relaxed smile, "I knew my death had nothing to do with them."

Lu Yang hesitated, feeling that Fairy Eternity was being too quick to conclude. Could this really rule out the possibility of the Four Ancient Immortals conspiring to kill Fairy Eternity?

"This Immortal draws conclusions based on sound logic," said Fairy Eternity, changing the subject to another question, "Do you know how to break this barrier?"

If even Immortals could not open the cage laid out by the Four Ancient Immortals, as per Fairy Eternity’s words, then all beings in the world would have to live within this cage from generation to generation.

"How can it be broken?"

"Limitless Tribulation is the biggest trouble. It’s like a box locked with ten thousand locks, and you have ten thousand keys in your hand without knowing which key fits which lock. You have to open each lock with one key, not failing in the process because a single mistake means starting over. It’s purely a matter of luck."

"To break the Limitless Tribulation, the only way is to continuously attack with the force of an Immortal. And due to the existence of the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit, you cannot repeat the same Immortal-level attacks."

"Then…" Following the train of thought laid out by Fairy Eternity, Lu Yang thought of a solution.

"Which is why my existence is needed. My self-destruction isn’t limited by the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit; each of my self-detonations is unique."

"To unlock this cage barrier, we, the Five Ancient Immortals, need to make a move together. Time Immortal, Qilin Immortal, Immortal Jiuchong, and I will break the Limitless Tribulation while the three of them undo the rule limitations!"

Lu Yang’s mind buzzed with a revelation, connecting all the evidence and visualizing the scene from three hundred thousand years ago. He understood why Fairy Eternity was so certain it wasn’t the Four Ancient Immortals’ doing:

After Fairy Eternity’s death, the Four Ancient Immortals, unable to find the murderer and for some reason unable to resurrect Fairy Eternity, collaborated to carry out a shocking act, refining the stars into the mainland.

This was a glaring declaration to the murderer: either resurrect Fairy Eternity and undo this cage, or we all stay trapped in here together, and no one leaves!!!
