Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 787: A Transcendent Tribulation Cultivator Defies and Challenges a Half-Immortal
The battle between a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator and a half-immortal was on the verge of erupting. The East Sea hadn’t witnessed a battle of this level in a hundred thousand years.
The Black Feather Venerable Lord lived up to his reputation as a seasoned Transcendent Tribulation cultivator. He acted decisively and showed no hesitation.
While the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was immersed in his sorrowful recollection, the Black Feather Venerable Lord secretly employed the Dao of Time to defy and challenge the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, tracing back through time to pry open a corner of truth buried in history.
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord didn’t dare to be careless, countering with his Space Incipient Dao Fruit.
The Black Feather Venerable Lord appeared to have employed some unknown secret art that caused the Vast Sea Daoist Lord to lose one of his five senses—his hearing. Even though the Black Feather Venerable Lord pleaded for mercy multiple times, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord heard none of it.
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord narrowly won, while the Black Feather Venerable Lord had lost honorably despite his defeat!
Meng Jingzhou felt that the Kunpeng Tribe truly deserved its place among the Ten Great Sea Tribes. Their survival to this day is undoubtedly tied to their formidable strength.
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord had held back from striking too viciously. After all, they were above the East Sea waters, with many races coming and going, and the Kunpeng Tribe members were also present. He had to leave a bit of face for the Black Feather Venerable Lord.
Thus, there weren’t many unscathed patches left on the Black Feather Venerable Lord’s face.
Chieftain Xiao and Xiao Xinghai sighed inwardly. The Old Ancestor truly has a death wish, blurting out everything.
Xiao Xinghai almost brought out the coffin again. This way, the Old Ancestor won’t end up with his corpse exposed in the wild, giving outsiders a reason to say the Kunpeng Tribe’s descendants are unfilial.
Since he’s still alive, there’s no need to take it out.
The coffin had been soaked in copious amounts of Dragon blood, staining the originally pure black coffin a deep crimson inside and out, making it look particularly ghastly. Its grade had also risen by half a level.
Hearing the embarrassing dark history the Black Feather Venerable Lord had revealed, Su Yiren became even more determined to make good use of the yang-boosting essence blood in the vial.
“Just what kind of demon beast does this blood belong to? Even Dragon and Phoenix blood don’t seem as potent. Could it be from a hybrid descendant of both Dragon and Phoenix?”
The group entered the waters of the East Sea. No sooner had they descended than they heard a voice calling out.
“Yiren, over here!”
Su Yiren looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Dragon maiden clad in a long dress of iridescent scales waving to her. The Dragon maiden had smooth facial contours and was a rare gentle beauty.
“Gu’er, what are you doing here?” Su Yiren was surprised. It was precisely Ao Gu’er who had invited her to the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet.
Ao Gu’er grabbed Su Yiren’s hand, somewhat displeased. “You’re one to talk! Couldn’t you have come to the Dragon Palace earlier to look for me? You just had to wait until the day of the banquet.”
Not forgetting her main task, she gracefully bowed to the Vast Sea Daoist Lord. “You must be Senior Vast Sea. Emperor Father instructed me to wait for you all here.”
Hearing Ao Gu’er’s name, Meng Jingzhou and the others wore odd expressions. Back then, the Taciturn Daoist Priest had stolen the Dragon Pearl from this very person before them, even shamelessly calling her ‘mommy’ in the process.
Fortunately, Lu Yang hadn’t come along. Otherwise, this situation would have been extremely awkward.
Meng Jingzhou thought again. Wait, that’s not right. I’m just a bystander here to watch the show. What does Lu Yang’s embarrassment have to do with me?
It’s a pity Old Lu isn’t here.
Ao Gu’er led the group all the way down to the seabed until they reached the end of the winding sea market shaped like a true dragon, where the Dragon Palace stood.
The Dragon Palace was surrounded by clusters of millennium-old coral. Undulating seaweeds swayed gently like curtains. The palace complex was majestic and presented a dazzling sight. The interior walls were embedded with various resplendent gems and pearls, emitting a soft yet radiant glow. Numerous shrimp soldiers and crab generals stood guard, along with patrolling members of the Yaksha Tribe.
A portion of the guests had already arrived at the Dragon Palace. They were leaders of major factions, paying much attention to the activities of the cultivation world’s top experts. The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was no mysterious figure. As the Resurgence Ancestor, he was highly active fifty thousand years ago, and many portraits of him were passed down.
“Look! That’s the Vast Sea Daoist Lord!” 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
“A legendary half-immortal...”
“Why doesn’t our East Sea have someone like that?”
“In the Battle of the Great Era, even half-immortals are emerging one after another.”
Ao Gu’er led the group through the Dragon Palace to its deepest part. Pushing open a large, heavy door, they saw an old azure dragon coiled around an impossibly thick stone pillar.
Facing the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, the Old Dragon Emperor didn’t dare to put on airs. He climbed down from the pillar with a thud and transformed into human form.
The Old Dragon Emperor was truly old. After he assumed human form, he resembled an old man with one foot already in the grave. He walked unsteadily, as if a mere wave could knock him over. Ao Gu’er hurriedly went to support him.
“Ao Cang pays his respects to Senior Vast Sea.”
“Alright, that’s enough. Don’t exert yourself if your body isn’t up to it.” Seeing the Old Dragon Emperor’s condition, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord feared he might trip and lose consciousness. “I came here to discuss the matter of the Dragon Pearl. Initially, I planned to use my Incipient Dao Fruit to find that kid Lu Yang and your Dragon Pearl. It should have been a simple task. I just don’t know what went wrong afterward; I couldn’t locate him at all. What exactly is the origin of this Dragon Pearl of yours?”
The Old Dragon Emperor shook his head. “I have no idea either. I only know that it’s an item from antiquity. It is indestructible and has detoxifying properties. I wasn’t even aware that there was a smaller bead inside the Dragon Pearl.”
“An ancient item, yet you never tried to investigate its origins?”
The Old Dragon Emperor looked distressed. “Senior, you also know that history has had its disruptions. We know very little about the matters of the ancient era. When our predecessors inherited the Dragon Palace, it was piled high with all sorts of natural treasures, spirit treasures, spirit stones, and whatnot, many of them unrecognizable. The Dragon Pearl was among that pile and not particularly conspicuous.
“Our Dragon Palace spent tens of thousands of years just to finally categorize all these treasures. Just completing the categorization was already an immense feat. Trying to investigate their origins was even more impossible. You can understand that, right, Senior?”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord huffed and puffed. When have I ever experienced such wealth? If the Dao-Seeking Sect had been this rich, would I have ended up with the title of “Resurgence Ancestor?”
Isn’t it precisely because I appeared during the Dao-Seeking Sect’s poorest period that I’m called the Resurgence Ancestor? Even after I made the sect prosperous later on, it didn’t reach the Dragon Palace’s level of extravagance.
Of course, the Dao-Seeking Sect is definitely richer than the Dragon Tribe now. After all, we have raided the lairs of several half-immortals.
“Never mind. Since you have no clues here, I’ll just have to try harder with the search after the birthday banquet concludes.” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord made it sound simple, but inwardly, he had no confidence.
Without even a single lead, where am I supposed to find that kid Lu Yang?
I promised I’d protect him. This is a terrible start.
“By the way, Senior, there is a friend of yours among our Dragon Tribe who wishes to see you,” the Old Dragon Emperor said.
“Who?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord asked. I haven’t been to your Dragon Palace for tens of thousands of years. What friends could I have?
A female dragon with an enchanting figure stepped out from behind the pillar. Her eyes twinkled with a captivating gaze, and the three dragon scales on her forehead added to her charm, exuding an irresistible temptation.
“Li-Little Ya?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord couldn’t keep his cool. This person was Ao Ya, who had left an indelible mark on his heart. “You became a half-immortal too?!”
It’s been fifty thousand years. Can a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator live for fifty thousand years?
Before Ao Ya, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord appeared flustered and uneasy, his hands fidgeting with nowhere to put them.
Ao Ya shot the Vast Sea Daoist Lord a glare. “I’m not as capable as you. I’m merely a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator. However, before I went into slumber, I instructed my descendants to wake me either if the Dragon Tribe faces a crisis or when you emerge in the world again!”
She smiled brightly as she grabbed the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s hand, dragging him toward a room at the side before he could say anything. “What a coincidence! I’ve only been awake for a few days and haven’t recovered my former strength yet. Perfect timing for you to accompany me in dual cultivation! And you can also explain why you ran away back then!”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s face paled instantly. I came to the East Sea but failed to protect Lu Yang, and now I’m about to lose my chastity first?
Once again, a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator defied and challenged a half-immortal.
