Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 774 - 773 Dragon and Phoenix Contest

Lu Yang visited Tao Yaoye and, as arranged, brought a Recording Orb, within which the captured scenes were incredibly precious.

Tao Yaoye lay in bed, holding the Recording Orb, saw the clan leader of the Xiao beating his son, Xiao Xinghai, and thought perhaps he hadn’t rested well.

"Didn’t you five say you were going to put on a play? How did it turn into a real fight as the acting went on?"

Maybe this was a tradition of the Kunpeng Clan, the ancestors beating the clan leader, the clan leader beating his son, a physical memory passed down through generations, Tao Yaoye mused randomly.

From the Recording Orb also came the angry voice of Clan Leader Xiao.

"You little brat, I was wondering why there are things being blamed on me that I never did. Turns out, you’re the culprit!"

"Dad, go easy on me, can you blame me? If your reputation wasn’t so bad, would others have doubted it?"

"You still think you’re in the right!"

A fight between a cultivator of the Body Integration Realm and one of the Nascent Soul Stage, without any surprise, was utterly one-sided.

Unfortunately, the four gourd brothers’ commotion stopped at the flooding of Penglai Island, a scene that could now only be imagined by Tao Yaoye.

But it wasn’t too hard to imagine, when Clan Leader Xiao disciplined Xiao Xinghai, it was by summoning huge waves to submerge Xiao Xinghai, or even replacing Xiao Xinghai with Penglai Island, it was presumed Penglai Island could be flooded as well.

Tao Yaoye couldn’t help but laugh out loud, lying in bed bored, watching the Recording Orb was quite amusing.

...

"Xinghai, my friend, are you alright? Clan Leader Xiao was too harsh," Meng Jingzhou repeated what he had said not long ago.

"Hey, my dad just doesn’t understand my painstaking efforts," Xiao Xinghai lay on the bed, while four of Lu Yang’s group peeled fruits for him and poured him water.

"Currently, our clan only has the venerable Black Wing Ancestor as a Transcendance Tribulation elder. My dad is the most likely to become the next one to Pass Tribulation, but it’s a pity he can’t bring himself to do it, so I, as his son, have to push him a bit."

"The so-called Transcendance Tribulation Stage is a realm that one must pass through ordeals to ascend."

"But ordeals aren’t of just one kind. If the Thunder Tribulation is an ordeal, isn’t the hatred that I’ve dragged upon him an ordeal as well?"

Lu Yang kindly consoled Xiao Xinghai, "Xinghai, my friend, don’t say more. When Clan Leader Xiao was beating you just now, you said the same thing, and he didn’t believe you, and he beat you even harder."

Otherwise, Xiao Xinghai wouldn’t have been confined to his bed.

He now felt even weaker than Tao Yaoye after using the Feather Transformation Immortal Body.

But the good news was that he could recover by taking Elixirs.

The bad news was that Clan Leader Xiao had ordered a ban on him using Elixirs for recovery.

That was the [Rule].

A Nascent Soul Stage challenging a Body Integration Realm, forcing the latter to exert the power of the rules, Xiao Xinghai could indeed be proud of himself.

"How about trying my Nirvana True Flame?" Meng Jingzhou’s palm pulsed with an orange-red flame, the Nirvana True Flame known for its healing properties.

Xiao Xinghai hastily shook his head, "No, no, in cultivating the Dragon Transformation Manual, I’ve acquired some characteristics of the Long Clan. The Nirvana True Flame signifies the Phoenix Tribe; dragons and phoenixes are rivals, and it would only add to my injuries."

This was, indeed, a theory unheard of before.

"Fairy, is that true?" Lu Yang asked for confirmation from the ancient cultivator.

"It’s true. Xiao Ling and Ao Ling have always been rivals, either competing for the Immortal position or vying for the Qilin Immortal on the bed."

Lu Yang: "..."

The competition always has something to do with immortals, right.

"It seems to have become a tradition, flowing in the bloodline of the later generations of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes."

"However, there’s also the saying ’Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix,’ which indicates that the power of the dragon and the phoenix can coexist. I’ve seen them quite united when they resist a third party, like Qiongqi, Nine-Tailed Fox, and such. It’s just that this young Kunpeng is too seriously injured to regulate the two forces and allow the dragon and phoenix to coexist."

Xiao Xinghai spoke again, "However, there is still a way."

"What is it?"

"Although Dragon’s Blood doesn’t have healing effects, it does strengthen the body. As long as I soak in Dragon’s Blood, I can still speed up the recovery of my injuries."

Dragon’s Blood is not considered an Elixir and is not regulated by the [Rules].

"You have Dragon’s Blood?" Lu Yang remembered that Fairy Eternity had told him about the key to learning the Dragon Transformation Manual, which required soaking in a large amount of Dragon’s Blood.

"I don’t have any on hand. I used it all up while practicing the Dragon Transformation Manual, but we can buy some at the Sea Market in the Dragon Palace. That’s where I got the Dragon’s Blood I used for cultivation."

After discussing among themselves, Su Yiren stayed to look after Tao Yaoye, and the four of them decided to visit the Sea Market at the Dragon Palace.

"Take me with you. The fresher the Dragon’s Blood, the better the effect. If you go back and forth, the effect will be greatly reduced." Xiao Xinghai struggled to get up, frightening Lu Yang and the others into hurriedly pushing him back down onto the bed.

"You can’t even stand up properly, let alone go to the Sea Market."

"You can carry me there," insisted Xiao Xinghai, still not giving up.

"Isn’t that too conspicuous? Would the Clan Leader let you leave?"

"It’s fine, I have a way."

...

Carrying a coffin, Lu Yang and his companions flew towards the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace.

Xiao Xinghai was a renowned genius in the East Sea. If he were to be carried on a litter to the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace, it would be somewhat disgraceful.

By covering him with a coffin, there was no need to worry about being recognized.

It was a solution that served multiple purposes.

The coffin was a magic artifact with the ability to block Spiritual Sense.

The Sea Market of the Dragon Palace is the largest in the East Sea, where all types congregate. Different from Penglai Island, which is exclusively visited by the Human race, the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace is frequented by both the Sea Clan and the Human race.

The Sea Market of the Dragon Palace was a chaotic mix of all sorts, with something new happening every day, but carrying a coffin around the market was indeed a first.

"Who has died?"

"The ones carrying the coffin are four humans. Could it be a human elder?"

"Then what are they doing here? Are they planning a sea burial at the Dragon Palace? Would the Dragon Palace allow it?"

"Who knows."

"Strange, why do I see these four humans smiling so happily?"

"Perhaps it is joy born of sorrow."

Lu Yang and his group, chatting and laughing, arrived at the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace. The market was situated deep undersea, a place that should have been dim and dark, shrouded in pitch blackness, but the mighty Dragon Palace lit up the depths with countless Night Pearls arranged in a great formation, illuminating the deep sea.

"This place is really huge." As Lu Yang and his companions descended, they looked down at the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace, which resembled a giant dragon adorned with countless jewels, slumbering on the ocean floor, unbothered by the Sea Clan wandering about or the buildings erected on its body.

At the end of the Sea Market, there stood an ancient and simple great hall, a place well-known to everyone in the East Sea as the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace was not open to outsiders, not even to Flood Dragons that were one step away from transforming into a Dragon.

"When we attend the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet, we’ll get to see what the Dragon Palace is like." The Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet was approaching, and through their connection with Su Yiren, Lu Yang and his companions were able to gain entry.

With the fame of the Nine Disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect, it was impossible to receive an invitation, and their arrival would be akin to walking into a trap.

"This is just too disrespectful. As the Immortal Lineage Second Boss and Lianyi’s Senior Brother, the Old Dragon Emperor should come out personally and invite you into the Dragon Palace," Fairy Eternity, the mermaid, swam back and forth in the Spiritual Space, indignant on Lu Yang’s behalf.

Even though Lu Yang didn’t feel he had been treated unjustly.
