Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 791 - 790 Ao Ling Appears

Chapter 791: Chapter 790 Ao Ling Appears

“Dragon Clan Ancestor?!”

Those attending the birthday banquet, upon seeing the strikingly beautiful woman in the black dress standing quietly in front of the Old Dragon Emperor, all sharply rose to their feet in unison, their eyeballs bulging round with utter disbelief on their faces.

Several distinguished personages of the Sea Clan were too astonished to maintain their human form and, with a loud ‘bang,’ reverted to their original shapes, exceedingly massive in size, instantly plunging the Dragon Palace into chaos.

Ao Ling’s reputation in the East Sea was far-reaching, and her portraits were equally widespread. Those who qualified to attend the banquet were undoubtedly prominent figures in the East Sea, and they had all seen images of Ao Ling.

Those Sea Clan members with profound backgrounds, those whose ancestors had been Semi-Immortals, even had records of their ancient ancestors being defeated by Ao Ling.

The Phoenix Ancestor had also declared at the founding ceremony of the Demon Nation that she and the Dragon Clan Ancestor were both wives of the Qilin Immortal.

Layer upon layer of identity was added up, leaving no room for people to not be shocked.

“Good heavens, she looks exactly like the one in the ancient paintings, it really is the Dragon Clan Ancestor.”

“How could the Dragon Clan Ancestor appear here?!”

“Is this the object related to the Dragon Clan Ancestor that the Three Mountains Taoist spoke of?!”

“This is more than just ‘related’!”

“Worthy of being our East Sea Human race leader, he actually found the Dragon Clan Ancestor who had disappeared for three hundred thousand years!”

“The cultivators of ancient times are appearing one after another. The Great Era has arrived indeed.”

Mr. Listen-to-the-Sea and the Six Harmonies Grandmaster, upon hearing these exclamations and praises, showed a glimmer of confusion in their eyes, slapped themselves, and then turned their heads to see that the Dragon Clan Ancestor was still standing there.

Was the hallucinogenic effect of the Great Void Immortal Grass really this powerful? Had they been affected even though they were operating their cultivation techniques?

Before opening the wooden box, the Old Dragon Emperor had exhausted his imagination, pondering what belongings of the ancient ancestor could possibly be inside such a small box.

He never imagined that the box contained the ancient ancestor herself.

“Where have we ended up?” Not only were the attendees stunned, even Lu Yang, one of the parties involved, was bewildered.

Why were there so many people here, and who was this excited old Dragon Clan man nearly passing out in front of him?

Wait, could this be the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet?

The timing seems to fit.

“Eh, why is there a withered stalk of Great Void Immortal Grass here?” the voice of Fairy Eternity echoed in the Spiritual Space.

“What is Great Void Immortal Grass?”

“A herb used to forge the mind through illusionary realms; its effects aren’t particularly strong. When I plate food for cooking, this thing is just about good enough to serve as a garnish.”

Fairy Eternity was meticulous about culinary presentation, balancing color, aroma, and taste.

Lu Yang, hearing Fairy Eternity speak so casually, took it that the herb was merely a famous yet ineffective Immortal Grass.

Pfft—

Old Ma, representing the Dragon horse clan, spat out his Spirit Wine, looking at Lu Yang as if he had seen a ghost.

What on earth happened during the time I was away?

You only left the Dragon horse clan a month ago; how did you, Lu Yang, end up standing alongside the Dragon Clan Ancestor?

Ao Ling, having experienced much of the world, reacted quickly. She bowed to Lu Yang and said, “I thank the young daoist for awakening me from my slumber. May I ask if you would be willing to join my Heavenly Court?”

Lu Yang returned the bow with full courtesy but with a firm attitude, “I deeply appreciate the kind offer of Ao Ling, senior. However, as a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect, I cannot possibly join any other power!”

“That’s quite a pity.”

The content of their casual conversation led the crowd’s thoughts to wander.

“So it turns out that the Dragon Clan Ancestor, like the Phoenix Ancestor, is also of the Heavenly Court.”

“With the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors both in the Heavenly Court, and hearing that both have the potential to become immortals, it’s a wonder they haven’t ascended. Just how powerful is the Heavenly Court?”

“The Dragon Clan Ancestor had been in slumber all along; was it Lu Yang who awoke her?”

If Vast Sea Daoist Lord was shocked to see Ao Ling, then seeing Lu Yang stand beside her was sheer horror.

He employed the Embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit, grabbed Lu Yang by the scruff of his neck, and instantly pulled him to his side.

“What’s going on with you, lad?”

Lu Yang offered an innocent explanation, “I had no idea. The Dragon Ball drew me in, and I saw the Dragon Clan Ancestor lying inside, so I woke her up.”

Vast Sea Daoist Lord poked Lu Yang’s forehead, “You really are bold, kid. Luckily, the Dragon Clan Ancestor wasn’t grumpy upon waking, otherwise a mere sneeze from her could have killed you!”

“I won’t dare to do it again, I won’t dare to next time,” Lu Yang said with a conciliatory smile.

“Long Clan’s Ao Cang pays respects to the Ancient Ancestor!” The Old Dragon Emperor stood up shakily and kowtowed to Ao Ling.

Ao Ya also prostrated himself in homage.

There was another member of the Long Clan in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, named Ao Xiu, at the mid-stage of cultivation level. He was the deputy palace master of the Dragon Palace and it was he who led Ao Li and others to the Demon Nation’s founding ceremony.

He hadn’t expected to see the Phoenix Ancestor at the founding ceremony of the Demon Nation, and half a year later, to encounter his own clan’s ancient ancestor at the palace master’s longevity feast.

“Long Clan’s Ao Xiu pays respects to the Ancient Ancestor!”

Ao Ling noticed that among the Long Clan there were only three in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, her eyebrows slightly knitted, “Does the Long Clan not even have a single Semi-Immortal nowadays?”

The Old Dragon Emperor, ashamed and at a loss for words, did not know how to answer.

Shaping the outline of a Dao Fruit was not so easily accomplished.

Whether it were the Sea Clan or the human race, at this moment their wills unified, and all respectfully paid homage in one voice.

“We pay respects to Elder Ao Ling!”

All beings prostrated themselves, their cries rumbling like mountains and seas.

The Three Mountains Taoist remained composed and calm. He knelt on the ground and along with everyone else, also called out in respect to Elder Ao Ling.

Suddenly, a pair of delicate shoes appeared in his line of sight.

He looked up to see that Ao Ling was standing in front of him at some unknown time.

Ao Ling stared at the Three Mountains Taoist, her eyes slightly squinting, her pupils suddenly turning into vertical golden dragon eyes revealing a highly dangerous smile.

“If what I saw just now is correct, at the moment of my arrival, you were on the verge of astral projection, attempting to possess this member of my clan?”

The Three Mountains Taoist’s art of possession was secretive, and he had immediately stopped as soon as he saw Ao Ling, confident that no one had noticed.

However, he may have fooled others, but there was no fooling Ao Ling, who had experienced extensive battle and had extraordinary insight during the Ancient Times.

The Ancient Times were much more chaotic than today, and acts of possession occurred frequently.

“What?!”

With Ao Ling’s words, a wave of shock rippled through the crowd. They looked at Ao Ling and the Three Mountains Taoist incredulously. Those whose minds were a bit slower hadn’t even grasped the situation.

The Three Mountains Taoist looked bewildered, not understanding what Ao Ling was talking about.

“Elder Ao Ling, is there perhaps some misunderstanding you have with me?”

Ao Ling scoffed coldly, seeing through the Three Mountains Taoist’s situation in a glance, “Misunderstanding? Then perhaps you’d like to explain, how this outline of a Dao Fruit formed through the power of faith came to be within you?”

Hearing that the Three Mountains Taoist possessed an outline of a Dao Fruit, both the Sea Clan and human race showed surprised expressions.

“The Dragon Clan Ancestor just said what? The Three Mountains Taoist has an outline of a Dao Fruit, doesn’t that mean he has become a Semi-Immortal!”

“He would be the first Semi-Immortal in the East Sea in a hundred thousand years.”

Only to hear Ao Ling continue, “I don’t know where you learned such a half-baked method of using the power of faith to form the outline of a Dao Fruit, blindly letting the power of faith enter your body without discerning.”

“I imagine most of the time, you can’t even control your own body.”

“Under such circumstances, if you didn’t opt for possession, I am quite curious what other methods you could have for saving yourself?”

Ao Ling was originally not very familiar with the power of faith, but the foundation of the Fire Dynasty was faith. After spending twenty thousand years in the Fire Dynasty, she had become well-versed in the use of the power of faith.

“I didn’t expect the Dragon Clan Ancestor to be so knowledgeable about the power of faith,” the Three Mountains Taoist said with a vicious look in his eyes and a face so dark it could drip water. He listened as Ao Ling analysed his situation word by word. Knowing he couldn’t bluff his way through, he stopped pretending.

“I originally planned to secretly possess the Old Dragon Emperor and thereby control the entire East Sea, but since you’re not giving me this opportunity, don’t blame me for using force!”

He didn’t want his intention to possess the Old Dragon Emperor to be known, for fear that it would cause complications.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t fight!

Sitting obediently by the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s side, Lu Yang thought to himself that if he was as strong as the Three Mountains Taoist, he wondered if bowing to him would make him vomit blood.
