Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 798: Vast Sea Daoist Lord: What Exactly Did I Come to the East Sea For?

Chapter 798: Vast Sea Daoist Lord: What Exactly Did I Come to the East Sea For?

Watching the two immortals vanish from sight one after another, the East Sea crowd collectively let out a long sigh of relief.

It’s good that they’re gone, good that they’re gone. The pressure from the immortal battle was too immense; even the aftershocks could have shattered them to dust.

The gulf between immortals and mortals was apparent.

“This is probably the first time an immortal battle has occurred since ancient times, right?” Even the Transcendent Tribulation old ancestors felt relieved at having survived a calamity. Beyond that relief, they recognized the historical significance of this battle.

What kind of cursed luck is this? This is an event that hasn’t happened in three hundred thousand years, yet we ran into it.

Ao Ling secretly rejoiced that Yun Zhi was on her side. Such combat prowess would have been unbeatable even in the ancient era, capable of rivaling Everlasting-jiejie. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Man Gu let out an emotional sigh. Traveling with Brother Lu and Brother Meng can truly broaden my horizons.

True Lord Horse felt he shouldn’t have come to the birthday banquet. Or rather, the moment I saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou at the banquet, I should have turned tail and fled.

The East Sea has been calm for tens of thousands of years. As soon as Lu Yang and the others arrived, they turned the entire place upside down—first with Ancient Ancestor Ao Ling’s resurrection, then with an immortal making an appearance.

“Looking at things now, it appears that it doesn’t matter whether I cultivate or not.” Originally, True Lord Horse felt that he needed to cultivate diligently, reach the Transcendent Tribulation Stage as soon as possible, and become a qualified guardian.

But now, I’m afraid that even a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator isn’t qualified to be a guardian.

The birthday star, the Old Dragon Emperor, stepped forward and cupped his fists toward the crowd. “Dear guests, due to the unforeseen events today, we are unable to continue hosting everyone. We ask for your understanding.”

The Dragon Tribe truly couldn’t host the crowd anymore. Having undergone a battle between three immortals and a clash between two immortals, the Dragon Palace had been flattened and reduced to rubble. Gold, silver, and jewels were scattered across the trenches at the bottom of the sea. Who knew how long it would take to rebuild the Dragon Palace?

However, this wouldn’t affect the Dragon Tribe’s status as the hegemon of the East Sea. With Ao Ling’s return, their standing would only be greater than before.

Originally, the crowd wanted to pay their respects to Ao Ling. But since the Old Dragon Emperor had personally stepped forward to chase them away, staying on shamelessly would likely yield no results, so they reluctantly abandoned the idea. Even the Black Feather Venerable Lord, who was enjoying the show, was dragged away by Chieftain Xiao.

As the crowd departed, only the Dragon Tribe, the Dao-Seeking Sect members, and Young Creed Leader Lu remained.

“Ancient Ancestor, I didn’t expect you to also be part of the Heavenly Court,” Ao Ya said excitedly, displaying much admiration for Ao Ling.

This is the number one in combat prowess among half-immortals, the pride of our Dragon Tribe!

“Ao Ya pays respects to the Ancient Ancestor and Senior Lu.

“Allow me to introduce—this is my Dao partner, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, Fang Wuya.” Ao Ya was open-minded and wasn’t particular about wedding rituals. Since the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had dual-cultivated with her, he was her Dao partner.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord had no choice but to cup his fists. “Junior Fang Wuya pays respects to the Dragon Ancient Ancestor.”

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord and Ao Ling were both half-immortals and could address each other as fellow Daoists. Although he referred to himself as a junior, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord felt pleased inwardly.

Meng Jingzhou shot a disdainful glance at the Vast Sea Daoist Lord. Founding Ancestor, you can barely keep that smile off your face, yet you still say you envy my Single’s Spirit Root?

“Wuya, you haven’t finished paying your respects,” Ao Ya whispered to the Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord wore a puzzled expression. Who else do I need to bow to?

Ao Ya subtly nudged her chin toward Young Creed Leader Lu. This is the Ancient Ancestor’s senior brother. In terms of seniority, he is also our senior.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s face darkened.

Me, bow to him?

Ao Ya kept urging him. Succumbing to her pressure, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had no choice but to force a stiff smile and bow to Young Creed Leader Lu. “Junior Fang Wuya pays respects to Young Creed Leader Lu.”

Lu Yang felt that he would have interesting times ahead once he returned to the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“Ancient Ancestor, our tribe still has two Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. Would it be convenient for you to meet them?” the Old Dragon Emperor asked cautiously, observing Ao Ling’s expression.

An opportunity to have an audience with Ao Ling was rare. If those two old ancestors missed this chance due to slumber, the Old Dragon Emperor would feel regret on their behalf.

“There are more Transcendent Tribulation cultivators? Seems like you’ve been doing alright in the East Sea,” Ao Ling remarked with slight surprise. Although the Dragon Tribe lacked half-immortals, having five Transcendent Tribulation cultivators already placed them among the top-tier factions.

In Lu Yang’s impression, only Great Xia’s imperial court had more Transcendent Tribulation cultivators than the Dragon Tribe.

Oh, wait, now there’s also the Demon Kingdom.

Having obtained Ao Ling’s consent, the Old Dragon Emperor hurried to the depths of the Dragon Palace to awaken the two slumbering old ancestors. They were from twenty thousand and thirty thousand years ago respectively, and were part of the Dragon Tribe’s most pivotal foundations.

The Old Dragon Emperor cleared away the debris from the ruins and entered an undersea chamber. Inside were three crystal casings. One of them was empty; this was where Ao Ya had resided. Within the other two crystal casings lay two Dragon tribesmen in human form.

The Old Dragon Emperor activated a secret spell, producing resonance with the patterns on the crystals.

Hummm—

As the resonance synchronized, the crystals bloomed like flowers. The two Dragon old ancestors slowly stirred awake.

“Who awakened us? Has the Dragon Tribe encountered a life-and-death crisis?”

According to ancestral rules, they were only to be awakened when the Dragon Tribe faced an existential threat.

The Old Dragon Emperor replied respectfully, “Old ancestors, the Dragon Tribe currently faces no crisis. It is simply that someone wishes to meet you both, and hence we have awakened you two.”

The two old ancestors flared up in anger. “Preposterous! What is our status? How could we be summoned for an audience with anyone?!”

“It’s me.” Ao Ling gazed calmly at the two Transcendent Tribulation true dragons.

“Who are you...” The two old ancestors instinctively began to reprimand, but when they turned and saw Ao Ling, they looked as if they had seen a ghost, their hearts nearly stopping from fright.

“Ao—Ao—Ao—Ao—Ao—Ao Ling Ancient Ancestor?!”

To be honest, if Lu Yang hadn’t heard the latter part, he would have thought they were just howling “ow-ow.”

“Do you have any objections?”

The two old ancestors hastily clambered out of their crystals, offering apologetic smiles. “Ancient Ancestor, it is our great honor that you wish to meet with us juniors. If anyone has any objections, your juniors will beat them to death!”

Seeing her descendants so lively and vigorous put Ao Ling in a good mood.

The Old Dragon Emperor turned to the two old ancestors with a beaming smile. “Old ancestors, the Ancient Ancestor simply wished to see you both, nothing more. You two can go back to sleep now.”

The two old ancestors glared furiously at the Old Dragon Emperor. Having learned that the Ancient Ancestor has awakened, who the hell could sleep after that?

“I will be returning to the Heavenly Court for a while. After I’ve met with some acquaintances, I will come back,” Ao Ling informed them.

She didn’t linger long in the Dragon Tribe, departing with Young Creed Leader Lu.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord bid goodbye to Ao Ya reluctantly and led the Dao-Seeking Sect members back.

The two parties separated at the Dragon Palace. After they left the palace grounds, they reconvened, and Lu Yang retrieved his clone.

Ao Ling had heard much from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, most of it related to the Dao-Seeking Sect, so she very much wanted to see this sect that her Everlasting-jiejie praised so effusively.

A graceful figure returned. Noticing her, Lu Yang promptly stepped forth and bowed. “Big Senior Sister, you’re back. That person...”

Yun Zhi’s tone was calm. “Severely wounded, then fled.”

“Little Junior Brother, Senior Ao Ling, you two come with me for a moment. Tell me more about the person I fought with.”

I want to know where this “Huang Doudou” popped out from.

Watching the receding backs of the three, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord felt somewhat dazed.

He recalled his trip to the East Sea carefully. First, I had helped Lu Yang stage an act, then I suffered a blow from an immortal, and in the end, I became Lu Yang’s junior for no reason?

Shouldn’t I have been able to swagger through the East Sea unimpeded?
