Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 726: The Dao-Seeking Sect’s Foundation

“Transcendent Tribulation Stage?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord knew he had misjudged Gu Xie’s cultivation realm the moment he exchanged blows with him.

Without activating one’s Incipient Dao Fruit, even a half-immortal would find it difficult to distinguish whether an opponent was at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage or a half-immortal.

“How dare you cause trouble at the Dao-Seeking Sect? You must be tired of living!” Although the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had paid little attention to the outside world for a long while, he still knew who the current Transcendent Tribulation cultivators were.

Gu Xie was not among them.

Then the answer is obvious—Gu Xie is an archaic cultivator!

“Are you the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, Gu Mo?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord remembered the Longevity Immortal Physique Gu Xie had displayed. The most famous individual with this physique was the cultivation genius from the early Great Yu era, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord Gu Mo!

“I'll give you credit for having some discernment.” Gu Xie sneered. This person is merely a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator; he’s no match for me!

“Everyone, attack!” At Gu Xie’s command, his aides shed their disguises and revealed their true cultivation realms—the Transcendent Tribulation Stage!

A total of three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators had been hiding among the crowd!

Seeing the situation exacerbating, the River Spirit waved a hand. Countless bubbles rose from the river's surface and enveloped the mortals participating in the third round and the disciples organizing the trial, swiftly transporting them inside the Dao-Seeking Sect for safety. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

“How did so many Transcendent Tribulation cultivators suddenly appear?” Dai Bufan was appalled. And who is that person fighting the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord?

“Senior Brother Dai, this matter has nothing to do with the two of us.” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou quickly dissociated themselves from the matter to prove their innocence.

“...Do you two know who the person fighting the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord is?”

“Yes, we do. He is the Vast Sea Daoist Lord.”

“He is still alive?!” Dai Bufan was flabbergasted. He thought the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had perished long ago. “Wait, in other words, the heart devil Senior Sister Yun Zhi that appeared in the second round belonged to Senior Vast Sea?” He had assumed it was Gu Junye’s heart devil.

Lu Yang nodded.

~~~

“He is the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord?” The Innate Daoist Priest was taken aback and looked at Gu Junye.

Then who is Gu Junye?

Gu Junye’s expression was grave as he watched the spectacular display of clashing powers in the bamboo forest. He hadn’t restored his cultivation yet and could not participate in a battle of this level.

I severed three corpses back then to undergo the tribulation and become an immortal; never would I have imagined those three corpses to survive until now!

~~~

The River Spirit mobilized the power of the great array to confront the three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators from the Great Yu Alliance.

With the great array’s boost, he was equivalent to a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator. Fighting three opponents of the same level was overly strenuous.

“Senior River Spirit, we’re here to assist you!”

Two elderly figures appeared, blocking the path of the three Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. They were none other than the Grand-Shifu Tang Shengyi and Elder Tao from the scripture library. Having sensed the battle in the bamboo forest, they came to join the battle immediately.

“Oh? I never expected the Dao-Seeking Sect to have so many Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. You’ve been hiding your strength, huh?!” The three Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivators sneered. The Dao-Seeking Sect’s power is beyond our expectations, but not enough to affect the outcome.

After all, our Great Yu Alliance has more than just the three of us.

Suddenly, several powerful auras shot skyward from outside the Dao-Seeking Sect, causing the Grand-Shifu’s expression to change.

The opponent has two more hidden Transcendent Tribulation cultivators!

Wait, not just Transcendent Tribulation cultivators; there are also over twenty Fusion cultivators!

They’ve come out in full force!

Five Transcendent Tribulation cultivators and over twenty Fusion cultivators stood in two rows, their combined auras momentarily overwhelming the Dao-Seeking Sect’s.

“You dare to attack our Dao-Seeking Sect? You’re courting death!” Streaks of light shot across the sky, appearing on the battlefield.

“Shifu, we are here.” First Elder led the other seven elders to the bamboo forest. Appearing alongside the elders were the owner of the commercial street, the owner of the Hundred Fragrance Restaurant, the Vice Hall Leader of the Great Mission Hall, Dai Bufan, Ji Hongwen, and others...

All the Dao-Seeking Sect’s Fusion cultivators had gathered!

“Merely Fusion cultivators? They won’t stir any waves!” The Great Yu cultivators laughed arrogantly. Our side has a total of five Transcendent Tribulation cultivators!

One of the Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivators brazenly struck out, extending a black hand toward First Elder. The black hand transformed into a diabolic claw made of smoke; anyone who came into contact with it would dissolve into pus!

Boom!

First Elder threw out an object resembling a brick, striking the diabolic claw. Its owner winced in pain and sharply retracted the claw.

The diabolic claw’s owner saw what had hit him clearly—a cyan-green porcelain pillow.

The immortal treasure, the Yellow Millet Dream Pillow, was originally held by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and later became a precious supreme treasure of the Everlasting Creed. Chefs Liu and Gao had attacked the Dao-Seeking Sect with it, but were captured by the sect, and the pillow became First Elder’s magical treasure.

“What, afraid to fight me?” First Elder taunted as he brandished the Yellow Millet Dream Pillow.

His strength was on par with the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s; both were at the Half-Step Transcendent Tribulation Stage. With the boost from the Yellow Millet Dream Pillow, he possessed power comparable to a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator!

“You merely have one additional Transcendent Tribulation level combatant!”

The Great Yu side remained unafraid.

“Merely one more?” Clad in iron armor, Third Elder strode through the air and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with First Elder.

He delivered a ferocious punch, and the resulting wind from the fist howled, sending the Great Yu’s Fusion cultivators stumbling. Even the Great Yu’s Transcendent Tribulation cultivators felt immense pressure and had to assume defensive stances.

This fist rivaled a Transcendent Tribulation physique cultivator’s strike!

The iron armor was rusty and stained with blackened blood, looking like the most common battlefield gear. But anyone who knew its origin would not underestimate it.

This was the armor won by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign during the campaigns at the end of the Great Yu era. It was soaked with the blood of his enemies, all at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage. A Fusion cultivator wearing this armor could match a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator!

Each of the Five Great Immortal Sects possessed methods comparable to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage. For the Dao-Seeking Sect, it was this armor!

“Now, the playing field has been leveled!”

The Grand-Shifu chuckled. A massive yellow bell descended from the sky, surrounded by mysterious runes of hundun primal chaos. Instantly, the bell emitted a deep, resonant hum that seemed to come from the distant past. The sound waves spread out like ripples, causing the very space around them to tremble faintly.

“The Hundun World-Suppressing Bell!” The Great Yu Transcendent Tribulation cultivators recognized the origin of the massive yellow bell.

During his tenure as sect leader, the Grand-Shifu had also been a mighty expert who roamed the cultivation world with few rivals; otherwise, he couldn’t have managed the Taciturn Daoist Priest and the others.

His life-bound magical treasure, the Hundun World-Suppressing Bell, was likewise renowned throughout the cultivation world. Countless famous individuals had fallen under its chimes.

“Kill!” The Grand-Shifu’s expression shifted sharply as he barked.

The bell’s chime resounded once more, and the two sides clashed in battle.

~~~

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord and the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord fought at an even higher altitude.

“Heaven’s Eye!” An eye appeared in the sky, from which a black light shot forth, catching the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord off guard.

At that moment, time suddenly slowed down, giving the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord enough time to react. He nimbly dodged the black light.

“Immortal Fairy, can you identify what the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s Incipient Dao Fruit is?”

“Hmm, since he has the Longevity Immortal Physique and just slowed time down, it should be the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit.”
