Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 793: The Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s Incipient Dao Fruit

Chapter 793: The Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s Incipient Dao Fruit

Meanwhile, at the main battlefield at the Dragon Palace.

Compared to the battle between Lu Yang and Young Creed Leader Lu, the battle here was at a higher level, drawing even more attention.

“Nine-Tier Demon-Suppressing Pagoda!” The Three Mountains Daoist Priest seized the initiative, producing a pristinely white nine-tiered miniature pagoda.

The East Sea Cultivators Alliance headquarters was a nine-tiered pagoda, but few knew it was actually the Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s life-bound magical treasure.

As the Three Mountains Daoist Priest chanted incantations, the pagoda radiated a brilliant light, turning into a dawn-breaking golden ray that shot straight toward Ao Ling.

Ao Ling transformed into a black true dragon that was ten thousand zhang long. Her entire body was covered in shimmering, jet-black scales that glistened with a profound, mysterious luster.

Witnessing the half-immortal battle about to break out, the crowd frantically scrambled to flee the Dragon Palace.

Meng Jingzhou appeared abnormally calm. It’s merely a half-immortal battle. I’ve seen two already.

This isn’t as entertaining as that grandson Lu Yang performing a double act.

“Transform!”

The Three Mountains Daoist Priest shouted. The pagoda swelled to the size of a mountain, intending to suppress Ao Ling. With a light flick of her tail, Ao Ling effortlessly overturned it.

The pressure of facing a formidable opponent weighed on the Three Mountains Daoist Priest. Ao Ling hadn’t even activated her Incipient Dao Fruit, simply relying on her physical strength to easily topple his prized life-bound treasure.

Ao Ling then charged with her dragon horns, stirring up a tsunami from the seabed that roared like the wind. The Three Mountains Daoist Priest was so frightened that he hastily shifted the pagoda to shield himself. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The dragon horns were the hardest part of Ao Ling’s original form. Even though the pagoda was the Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s life-bound magical treasure and had been refined over many years, it still couldn’t withstand Ao Ling’s strike.

Boom!

The Three Mountains Daoist Priest was sent flying alongside the pagoda. Stone pillars collapsed, and an enormous hole appeared in the Dragon Palace’s wall—he had been blasted right out of the Dragon Palace!

Lu Yang and Young Creed Leader Lu seized the chance to slip out through the hole and continued their battle on the sea surface.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Probably the Dragon Ancient Ancestor. I heard she was an absolute powerhouse even during the era where prodigies were as ubiquitous as rain, rarely losing in half-immortal battles.”

“I think so too. And don’t forget, dragons’ physical bodies are innately tough. The Dragon Ancient Ancestor’s physical strength has likely reached a pinnacle. The Three Mountains Daoist Priest definitely won’t dare engage her at melee range.”

“Don’t be so quick to judge. I’ve heard half-immortals aren’t absolutely stronger or weaker; they restrain one another. If the Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s Incipient Dao Fruit happens to counter the Dragon Ancient Ancestor, the outcome could be reversed.”

The Three Mountains Daoist Priest ignored the crowd’s discussions, silently reciting in his heart. “I hereby wish: Strengthen my physical body, strengthen the pagoda, and grant me the ability to subdue dragons!”

After making the wish, the Three Mountains Daoist Priest felt his entire being undergo a drastic transformation. His physical strength reached the limits of the Transcendent Tribulation Stage, and the pagoda became indestructible and almost indistinguishable from an immortal artifact. The parts damaged earlier were now perfectly repaired. The weaknesses of dragons flashed before his eyes one by one—in his eyes, Ao Ling’s true dragon form was riddled with flaws and openings!

“I recall the Three Mountains Daoist Priest wasn’t known for physical strength. How can he brawl with the Dragon Ancient Ancestor up close?”

The strength of Ao Ling’s physical body was considered the pinnacle, the ultimate goal of all physique cultivators in the world. No one expected the Three Mountains Daoist Priest, who excelled in spells, to attain this realm.

This was the Incipient Dao Fruit the Three Mountains Daoist Priest had obtained through faith power—the Wish-Fulfilling Incipient Dao Fruit. It allowed him to make three wishes using the Incipient Dao Fruit, but the scope of the wishes had to be related to the wishes of his believers. For example, since few believers made wishes regarding the soul, he couldn’t use the Wish-Fulfilling Incipient Dao Fruit to strengthen his soul.

“The Wish-Fulfilling Incipient Dao Fruit? How utterly predictable.” Ao Ling detected the Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s change and smirked scornfully. She had seen this type of Incipient Dao Fruit during the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

The biggest issue with this Incipient Dao Fruit was the limitation of wishes. Most wishes were made by mortals, and mortals wouldn’t make outrageous wishes like controlling time and space.

Infuriated by Ao Ling’s derisive laugh, the Three Mountains Daoist Priest activated his dragon-subduing technique. The pagoda immediately emitted dazzling rays. Gray chains shot from its base, rapidly coiling around Ao Ling in an attempt to bind her. Regardless of whether Ao Ling grew larger or smaller, she couldn’t break free.

“Ancient Ancestor, we are here to aid you!”

The Old Dragon Emperor and the other two Transcendent Tribulation cultivators from the Dragon Tribe wanted to step forward to assist Ao Ling. To their surprise, Ao Ling suddenly extended two claws and grabbed the gray chains. With a forceful pull, she ripped the chains apart.

“Alright, alright. Why would I need your help when dealing with a mere half-immortal inflated by faith power?”

If a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator intervened in a half-immortal battle and failed to coordinate well, they could easily become a casualty, causing them to become a hindrance instead.

Accompanied by a dragon roar, the seawater began to boil as if an undersea volcano had erupted. The water throughout the Dragon Palace area churned violently, and even seaweeds ignited.

This was the Dragon Tribe’s life-bound true fire, capable of burning even in water. It was difficult to extinguish, and its searing heat surpassed even the Nirvana True Flame. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have forced Jiang Lianyi out of her Play-Dead Technique state back then.

Of course, that was partly because Jiang Lianyi’s skills weren’t polished then. The current Jiang Lianyi wouldn’t fear the flames.

Dragons were born with the ability to command the wind and rain. Coupled with their life-bound true fire, they could be said to master both yin and yang, proficient in water and fire.

Ao Ling and the Three Mountains Daoist Priest clashed again. The Three Mountains Daoist Priest felt immense pressure from the combat. Ao Ling’s dragon claws seemed impervious to all spells, and any spell could be shattered by her claws.

Worse, he felt each of Ao Ling’s strikes was stronger than the last. Even with the pagoda, he couldn’t withstand the relentless assault.

“You think having a pagoda blocking makes you safe? Utterly naive! Striking Through Mountains!”

Ao Ling applied a subtle force that penetrated the pagoda, striking the Three Mountains Daoist Priest directly in the chest. Instantly, three bloody claw marks appeared on his chest. Blood flowed out, mixing with seawater to form a dense crimson mist.

“I hereby wish: Cease strengthening the pagoda and heal my injuries!”

The Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s injuries healed at a visible rate.

His recovery was swift, but Ao Ling’s attacks were more swift.

The Three Mountains Daoist Priest inwardly cursed. I overestimated myself. I should have just run away. Why did I insist on making those grand statements? Now I can’t win, and running away will be too embarrassing.

He had already tried wishing for the “ability to control the sea,” “ability to command the wind and rain,” “increase luck,” and so on, but none enabled him to become a match for Ao Ling. He even sensed that Ao Ling was gradually growing stronger. At first, he could hold his ground, but later, it became a one-sided rout.

Boom!

The Three Mountains Daoist Priest attempted to flee the battlefield multiple times, only to be yanked back by Ao Ling each time. Finally, his lower body was shredded by dragon claws, and he plummeted into the sea, stirring humongous waves.

Ao Ling assumed human form and stepped on the Three Mountains Daoist Priest’s face, her expression cold.

The outcome was finalized.

“If I say I just wanted to take over the body for fun and planned to give the body back afterward, would you believe me?”

Ao Ling sneered repeatedly. “Why don’t you guess?”

Seeing that Ao Ling had no intention of letting him go, the Three Mountains Daoist Priest hollered at the top of his lungs. “If you don’t help me now, I’m going to be beaten to death!”

After a moment of deathly silence, an aged, dark-faced elder appeared.

If possible, he naturally didn’t wish to intervene. The original plan hadn’t involved fighting a legendary figure like Ao Ling, much less the appearance of Young Creed Leader Lu. This signified the Heavenly Court had noticed this place.

Although he was confident he could defeat Ao Ling, he knew he stood no chance against the Heavenly Court. That Young Creed Leader Lu had glanced toward my hiding spot and likely detected me. Escaping is useless now.

Young Creed Leader Lu was in the middle of performing his double act when he glanced at the dark-faced elder who had abruptly appeared. It was the Everlasting Immortal Fairy who had informed him that another half-immortal was hiding in the Dragon Palace, probably the Three Mountain Daoist Priest’s ally.

Lu Yang surmised that this person was a half-immortal from Great Qian, and that the method the Three Mountain Daoist Priest employed to condense his Incipient Dao Fruit through faith power had originated from him.
