Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 960: Who Said It Was Three Against One?
“Immortal Fairy, is something the matter?”
“Nothing much. It’s just that this lass Jinghong was speaking to her ring just now. There might be someone inside it.”
Lu Yang’s heart stirred. He felt that he and Jinghong were fellow sufferers sharing the same predicament.
Senior Jinghong likely also has a big-shot cultivator residing within her ring. It’s fine when they’re silent, but the moment they speak, their prestige comes crashing down. They will chatter incessantly, yet prove utterly useless during cultivation. We can only rely on ourselves.
“Immortal Fairy, did Senior Moonchaser use her Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit to make these two divine lords so scared?”
“Not bad, your discernment has reached three-tenths of my level.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy felt immensely gratified. My efforts in meticulously guiding Lu Yang daily haven’t been in vain; it has paid off in honing his discernment to this level.
“This lass Bai Ri is rather quick-witted. She imbued these two with fear from the Seven Emotions. In the eyes of these so-called divine lords, Bai Ri’s image must now be equivalent to that of the person they fear most.
“Why didn’t half-immortals wielding the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit employ such a method?”
“Immortal Fairy, do you know what they want with Bai Ye?”
“Hmm, a deceased moon laurel tree only has the effect of strengthening souls. I reckon someone needs their soul strengthened.
“The two of them seem to hold rather high positions in the Great Qian Dynasty. They’re probably planning to offer it to an immortal from their dynasty.”
~~~
“Who is this little lass?” With the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit no longer out of control, the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace disciples ceased their pursuit of Lu Yang and turned their attention to the commotion at the entrance instead.
Seeing the Moonchaser True Person’s petite figure, they initially mistook her for another disciple afflicted with the shrinking poison.
However, they quickly dismissed this possibility. This little lass appears to be even more powerful than Sect Ancestor Fang; she must be some prominent figure.
“Who are you?!” The two divine lords trembled like sieves, the overwhelming fear rendering them incapable of coherent thought.
“You are unworthy to know.” How could the Moonchaser True Person admit that this current tiny form was her?
Noticing Luo Hongxia’s unusual expression, Sect Ancestor Fang secretly transmitted an auditory message. “Little Luo, do you know this senior?”
“She is our Founding Ancestor Moonchaser.”
“What?!” Sect Ancestor Fang was astonished. I’ve seen Founding Ancestor Moonchaser before. In those days, she was elegant and unparalleled, the epitome of beauty in the world. How did she become a tiny tyke? Even falling into qi deviation won’t result in this!
“Don’t ask for specifics. Founding Ancestor Moonchaser forbade me from speaking about it.”
“Oh.”
Just as the two divine lords were about to surrender and concede defeat, a complex and magnificent golden talisman rune suddenly flashed between their brows, instantly restoring their clarity of mind.
“No, we fell for their trap!” Only then did the two divine lords realize that their previous state was far from normal.
“Thankfully, we have the protective talisman rune bestowed by Master."
“Just now, it made you experience sorrow, and now it fills us both with fear. Be careful. The Incipient Dao Fruit our opponent wields is related to emotions. It may be the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit recorded in ancient texts!” Upon returning to normal, the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord immediately analyzed the situation, his guess hitting close to the mark.
This is troublesome. Matters of emotion are intangible and elusive. The Vajra Incipient Dao Fruit I possess is not suited for dealing with this type of Incipient Dao Fruit.
Neither can I rely on the protective talisman rune bestowed by the Emperor-Lord every time. Sooner or later, its uses would be exhausted.
“There are a few cultivators of later generations with some skills after all.”
Having emerged from the chaotic period of the early Great Qian era, the two divine lords were powerful figures and immediately came up with a countermeasure.
“Thus have I heard: the Vajra cannot be destroyed by any dharma, yet can destroy all things; so too is this wisdom...”
The two divine lords simultaneously recited Buddhist scriptures, subduing their restless minds and rectifying their hearts. Though this couldn’t completely resist the influence of the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruits, it would greatly abate it.
At the very least, it prevented them from being too terrified of the Moonchaser True Person to fight.
“Let me assist you, Senior!” Sect Ancestors Fang pretended to be clueless about the Moonchaser True Person’s identity.
“Vajra Vanquishes Devils!” A layer of golden radiance emerged from the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord, with a red dot between his brows. He resembled a supreme arhat from the western Buddhist Kingdom. With three heads and six arms, he wielded six vajra scepters. Of his two additional faces, one was benevolent, the other wrathful.
The Moonchaser True Person’s arm transformed into a wooden spear. Although it was wooden, it was part of the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor. Few materials below the level of immortal treasures could match its strength.
Accompanied by falling petals, the Moon Laurel Spear was tossed forth, piercing through the void and striking the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord squarely in the abdomen. Extending his vajra hand, he effortlessly snapped the Moon Laurel Spear, leaving not a trace of injury on his abdomen.
The Moonchaser True Person mused, An Incipient Dao Fruit for self-reinforcement on the spot? As I thought, he’s a half-immortal. I’m not adept at offensive methods; it looks like I won’t be able to defeat him quickly.
“Two against two! Come, let me witness the abilities of later generations’ cultivators!” The Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord’s three faces laughed simultaneously, an indescribably eerie sight.
“Who said it was two against two?” The Moonchaser True Person smiled, making the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord feel that something was amiss.
A divine halberd swept horizontally, striking the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord directly in the waist.
“Demon-Subduing, what are you doing?!” the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord bellowed in rage. The Demon-Subduing Divine Lord had suddenly struck him from such close range that he hadn’t even reacted. Fortunately, I was in my Vajra state; otherwise, that blow would have gravely wounded me.
The Demon-Subduing Divine Lord’s eyes were bloodshot as he panted and stared at the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord. Only upon hearing the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord’s Buddhist-toned rebuke did he regain his senses.
“I...I don’t know either! I just found you an eyesore and felt like hitting you,” the Demon-Subduing Divine Lord hastily explained.
“Well? Are you still going to say it’s two against two?” The Moonchaser True Person smirked derisively. When facing a half-immortal born from the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit, having too many allies was the worst idea. By manipulating emotions, the half-immortal could easily sow discord among their ranks.
Even though the Demon-Subduing Divine Lord had also chanted scriptures, he was not a half-immortal, meaning his mental state was inferior to the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord. Despite reciting Buddhist texts simultaneously, their resistance to the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit differed.
“It’s just three against one. Do you think I’ll fear you?!” The Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord no longer counted on the Demon-Subduing Divine Lord for assistance. He only prayed the latter wouldn’t cause further trouble.
“Who said it was three against one?”
The ground immediately churned. Thick tree roots burst forth, resembling countless tentacles, yet those tentacles were like white jade and not at all eerie.
Countless roots coiled around the Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord. He smashed them with his fists, breaking them apart, but the roots only split partially before swiftly regenerating and continuing to entangle him.
Behind the Moonchaser True Person, an identical figure appeared. The two stood side by side, indistinguishable from each other.
“Little Ye, you’re finally awake?”
“I was woken up by the noise,” Bai Ye grumbled.
She simply preferred sleeping in the day; it wasn’t a necessity. Should the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace encounter enemies, she would naturally intervene and resolve the matter.
After all, she was the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace’s trump card at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.
“The Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor?!” The Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord hadn’t expected the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor to have evolved to such an extent. He had thought it had merely developed consciousness, but now, he realized that it had developed a soul!
“Now, are you still going to say it’s three against one?” The Moonchaser True Person looked down upon him, her gaze icy.
The Devil-Vanquishing Divine Lord felt that perhaps he didn’t need the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor so badly after all.
