Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 787 - 786: Meticulous Plan, Infallible
Chapter 787: Chapter 786: Meticulous Plan, Infallible
“So how do we move the Great Void Immortal Grass?” the Vast Sea Daoist Lord continued to inquire, his brows slightly furrowed, full of concern.
He always felt that the preparations this time were not secure enough.
“If we don’t set up restrictions around the Immortal Grass, the poisonous gas will be released all along the way, poisoning every creature it passes. That would be all too obvious.”
“But if we do set restrictions, I’m afraid a small box wouldn’t be enough to contain it, right?”
Mr. Listening Sea was confident about this issue. He took out a small wooden box, “Can you feel even a trace of poison coming from inside?”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was startled, “Is the Great Void Immortal Grass inside this?”
“Indeed, it is.”
Mr. Listening Sea opened the wooden box, and a slender and elegant Immortal Herb appeared before the three of them.
Vast Sea Daoist Lord had no choice but to keep using the embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit, summoning Lu Yang like one would summon a soul.
And had not succeeded.
Later, Vast Sea Daoist Lord brought Meng Jingzhou, the three of them, and Xiao Xinghai—a hero of the Long Clan—back to the Kunpeng Clan, and the revered Black Feather greeted them personally.
Even the formidable Black Feather was but a junior in front of Vast Sea Daoist Lord.
If the records were not mistaken, Vast Sea Daoist Lord had once had dealings with the Kunpeng Clan, and that was all fifty thousand years ago.
Whether looking at cultivation level or seniority, Black Feather did not dare to act presumptuously.
“Don’t worry, little Meng and the rest of you. With me here, I have no rivals in the entire East Sea,” Vast Sea Daoist Lord said indifferently, his tone revealing an unsurpassed confidence.
His words were not mistaken. For the East Sea that lacked a semi-immortal, he indeed was an invincible presence.
Five days later, when the aftereffects of Tao Yaoye using her Feather Transformation Immortal Body disappeared, and the birthday banquet of the Old Dragon Emperor was about to commence, Vast Sea Daoist Lord took everyone to attend the banquet.
The nine-thousand-year-old birthday banquet of the Old Dragon Emperor was a top-tier event in the East Sea. All Sea Clan and Human race cultivators above the Void Refinement Stage received invitations.
Vast Sea Daoist Lord stood with his hands behind his back, atop auspicious clouds. The sea surface was full of Human race cultivators showing off divine abilities, crossing the East Sea to join the banquet.
The sea held countless old ancestors of various races, transforming into their original forms—be it fish, crab, or shellfish—accepting the invitation to come.
“It’s been a long time since I visited the East Sea, and it’s still as bustling as ever,” Vast Sea Daoist Lord commented casually, displaying the demeanor of a Daoist lord. In terms of the number of species, the East Sea was even more abundant than the Demon Territory.
“You’ve traveled the East Sea before, Grand Ancestor?” Meng Jingzhou asked curiously.
Vast Sea Daoist Lord laughed heartily, his spirits high, “Of course. Once upon a time, I made quite a name for myself in the East Sea. Alas, you young cultivators only know that I’m the reviver of the Seek Dao Sect, not aware of my experiences in the East Sea.”
Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s active years in the East Sea were too distant, so far back that even Clan Leader Xiao and Xiao Xinghai had not heard of his exploits there.
“The ‘Vast Sea’ in my Daoist title is to commemorate the years I spent active in the East Sea.”
“Back then, I was still in the Body Integration Realm, studying the way of space, which caused spatial turbulence that transported me from Seek Dao Sect to the East Sea.”
“I was severely injured by the spatial turbulence, my power fallen to less than that of the Golden Core Stage. Fortunately, fishermen of that time saved me.”
“In that small fishing village, I met a little princess who had snuck out of the Dragon Palace. We hit it off right away.”
“Under the little princess’s care, my injuries gradually healed. We got along famously and became Dao companions, adventuring together in the East Sea, seeking Immortal Herbs, encountering Tribulation Cultivators, and entering Secret Realms…”
Vast Sea Daoist Lord let out a long sigh, his tone full of melancholy, “Alas, ‘a different path does not allow for common plans,’ we belonged to different races and couldn’t be together at the end.”
Meng Jingzhou and the others were immersed in Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s sigh, as if they could feel his emotions from that time.
In the back, Black Feather muttered to himself, “That’s not right. Didn’t I hear that it was the Long Clan who said dragons are naturally lascivious, and that Elder Vast Sea couldn’t withstand the pressure and secretly slipped away?”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord instinctively urged his cultivation technique to resist the poison but realized that although the Immortal Grass was within reach, it emitted no poison.
“What kind of Array Method is this?”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord noticed that besides the Great Void Immortal Grass, array patterns were also carved within the wooden box.
Mr. Listening Sea closed the wooden box with a faint smile, “Everything has its nemesis, and for the Great Void Immortal Grass, there is something that overcomes it. This is a detoxifying Array Method discovered by the sages of Yingzhou in an ancient secret realm which can neutralize all poisons, precisely countering the Great Void Immortal Grass.”
“Regrettably, according to research, this set of detoxifying Array Method should have an Array Eye, but it has never been found.”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was amazed, not expecting such a wonderful thing to exist.
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord wanted to open the box again to take another look at this rare object, but Mr. Listening Sea stopped him.
“It cannot be opened again. Inside the wooden box, there is another Array Method set up. The next time the box is opened, the other Array Method will crush the Great Void Immortal Grass, releasing all of its poisonous gas, which even this detoxifying Array Method would not be able to suppress.”
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord then realized, “So it is to be opened during the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet!”
“Exactly.”
After thinking for a moment, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord felt that everything had been calculated from the beginning, with no details overlooked.
“The only flaw is that the Juxuan Island thieves failed to do their job well,” the Three Mountains Taoist sighed softly.
“There’s a Dragon Ball in the Dragon Palace, said to be an object from ancient times, greatly related to the Dragon Clan Ancestor. The Old Dragon Emperor treasures it deeply, and that Dragon Ball also has detoxifying properties, which might affect the Great Void Immortal Grass.”
“Fortunately, although the Juxuan Island thieves did not manage to steal the Dragon Ball, intelligence from the Sea City of the Dragon Palace says that a disciple from the Dao Seeking Sect took it. Even the Dragon Palace doesn’t know where the Dragon Ball has gone.”
“It’s better lost. As long as the Dragon Palace can’t find the Dragon Ball, anything is possible.”
Mr. Listening Sea handed the box to the Three Mountains Taoist, who solemnly took care of it.
The trio exchanged smiles and set about their tasks.

No one noticed that a pellet the size of an elixir flew towards Penglai Island at an unbelievable speed, passing through the layers of restrictions, through the wooden box, and precisely into the center of the detoxifying Array Method.
It looked just like the Array Eye.
The Great Void Immortal Grass withered at an incredible rate.
…
“Lu Yang, come forth!” the Vast Sea Daoist Lord called out, using the embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit, and gently tugging at the void.
All to no avail.
“It shouldn’t be like this, where has that boy Lu Yang run off to?”
Vast Sea Daoist Lord could not understand. He possessed the embryonic form of a Spatial Dao Fruit, which allowed him to travel anywhere in the Cultivation World effortlessly, and locating a Nascent Soul cultivator through the power of the embryonic Dao Fruit was a simple task.
“Lu Yang, come!”
Vast Sea Daoist Lord attempted his method once again, reaching out and scratching at the air, but he still could not find any trace of Lu Yang.
Meng Jingzhou watched Vast Sea Daoist Lord as if he were possessed by fierce ghosts, his body not obeying his commands, scratching at an empty space incessantly, remaining silent all the while.
Since even the Grandmaster couldn’t find Lu Yang, it’s feared that the kid might have gone to some secret realm laid by immortals or the likes.
Five days ago, Vast Sea Daoist Lord had used the embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit to open a spatial channel and stepped across to the East Sea in one stride, asking Meng Jingzhou and the others for information.
Meng Jingzhou and the other two had no idea where Lu Yang had flown off to, all shaking their heads, unable to clarify.
Vast Sea Daoist Lord suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Black Feather.
