Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 565 - 564

Qing Dong’s teeth chattered, shaking uncontrollably; he had never seen such a terrifying presence. Just standing there, the mere presence of the other caused him to feel like he was suffocating, and he dared not even breathe deeply.

The other party even laid bare his identity—a mere ant.

"To disturb my tranquil cultivation, you truly have quite the nerve!"

Meng Jingzhou’s tiger-like eyes glared ferociously, his natural majesty making even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth congeal!

Greatly alarmed, Qing Dong felt his spiritual essence freeze; this was the power only those who had turned their Qi into a foundation at the Foundation Establishment Stage possessed!

How did the Hydroxy Insect tribe manage to find such a mighty backer!

"Truly bothersome."

Another colossal being awakened, its voice lazy, its expression indifferent, reminiscent of a sword about to be unsheathed—even with just a fraction exposed, the blinding brilliance of the sword light made it impossible for everyone to keep their eyes open.

If Meng Jingzhou’s arrival caused spiritual energy to congeal, then Lu Yang’s arrival brought a murderous aura into the coalesced spiritual essence!

Another, another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Qing Dong wished he were dead—if he had known the Hydroxy Insect tribe had connections with two Foundation Establishment cultivators, he would have never come here to force a marriage.

What concept was the Foundation Establishment Stage? The lord of the surrounding five-mile radius was an old mountain goat, and every year, whether it was the Hydroxy Insect tribe or the Corpse Insect tribe, they had to pay tribute to the old mountain goat to ask for peace.

This old mountain goat was a Foundation Establishment Stage Great Power!

Meng Jingzhou reached out a hand that seemed like a towering mountain, pressing down towards the Corpse Insect tribe.

Seeing this, Qing Dong desperately resisted, using a secret technique of the Corpse Insect tribe to transform into his original form, temporarily boosting his fighting strength from the early stage of the fourth level of Qi Refinement to the late stage!

"If you kill me, the Goat Clan Leader will not let you off!"

"How noisy. What Goat Clan Leader? Even if it comes, I’ll suppress it just the same," Meng Jingzhou fearlessly continued to press down, unbothered by the Goat Clan Leader mentioned by Qing Dong.

Seeing his threat was ineffective, Qing Dong could only struggle for life: "Whirlwind Soaring Heaven Break!"

Qing Dong spun wildly, forming a tiny tornado drill; the green Protective Aura wind swept up, shredding the grass and leaves on the ground, leaving them in tatters. With this skill alone, no one in the Hydroxy Insect tribe could compete.

Qing Dong’s eyes reddened as he charged toward the giant hand while screaming.

Unfortunately, before the absolute power of the great hand, all skill was futile; the hand possessed unmatched power, and the Whirlwind Soaring Heaven Break on the palm felt like a mere tickle.

As he faced Qing Dong’s attack, Meng Jingzhou’s gaze remained undisturbed, and he simply uttered a word softly.

"Suppress."

The Whirlwind Soaring Heaven Break ineffective, Qing Dong was even backlashed, tumbling to the ground, despairingly sensing the gap between himself and a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

A Foundation Establishment Great Power, a single hand obscuring the sky.

Meng Jingzhou’s hand stopped less than half an inch above Qing Dong’s head, then calmly drew back and stood with his hands behind his back. With a magic skill, he whisked up a breeze that lifted his hair and robe.

"Crushing you would be as easy as crushing an insect, simply dirtying my hand,"

"By disturbing my cultivation, this time is merely a lesson. If there’s a next time, you will pay with your life."

"Yes, yes, yes."

A Great Power’s heart is kind; he did not slay indiscriminately, sparing Qing Dong from death’s door. Qing Dong dared not disagree.

The Hydroxy Insect Clan Leader watched, dumbstruck. He had never imagined that these two were Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, and his small tribe was fortunate enough to forge a connection with two such cultivators. If word spread out, who would dare provoke them?

Chi Shui watched Meng Jingzhou’s towering figure with reverence; this was the embodiment of strength he aspired to.

Without such power, how could he ever protect the one he loved most?

He had decided; after this matter, he would temporarily leave the tribe to make his own way in the outside world, to cultivate to the heights of Meng Jingzhou!

"What fellow daoist dares to cause a commotion on my territory, even attempting to commence a massacre on my lands, isn’t this going too far?"

An ancient voice came from afar, startling both the Hydroxy Insect Clan Leader and Qing Dong at the same time.

That was the voice of the old mountain goat; the two of them only had the chance to catch a glimpse of it from afar during the mountain goat’s birthday feast.

Those who could sit next to the old mountain goat were extraordinary cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refinement, among them not a few with the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The probability was a full ten percent!

An old mountain goat with lustrous fur emerged from the woods, and upon seeing this, both tribes knelt in unison. The old mountain goat ignored the insignificant Insect Race and fixed its gaze on Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Only cultivators of the same level deserved to converse with him.

He was cultivating when he sensed a dreadful Sword Qi passing through the southern part of his territory in a flash; it was clear that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator had entered his domain.

Like the territorial beasts of the dense forest, the Demon Beasts of the Demon Territory possess an even stronger sense of territory; uninvited trespass, without an explanation, can be regarded as a declaration of war.

Three Great Cultivators stood on the earth, and the Insect Race on the ground looked up at the three beings, who were superior to them in both cultivation level and stature, and a sense of awe arose in their hearts.

"Hmph."

Lu Yang snorted coldly.

"I thought it was some formidable existence, but it’s just a Foundation Establishment Stage abomination. So what if I kill it, and what if I do not?"

The Sword Qi was even present in Lu Yang’s nasal tones, which caused the old goat to shudder.

"This pressure… you are Golden Core Great Powers!"

The old goat cried out in shock, unable to conceal his surprise. Others might not feel it, but he could clearly sense the overwhelming aura emanating from Lu Yang, deep and boundless like an abyss, far beyond what his Foundation Establishment Stage could compare to!

And next to Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou’s presence was no less formidable.

"What, they are Golden Core Great Powers?!"

The Clan Leader of the Hydroxy Insect’s face changed abruptly, delighted to the point of nearly fainting.

What merit or ability did he have to be qualified to speak with Golden Core Great Masters, to even have a conversation with them through the night?

Such glory was indeed an honor to his ancestors.

"Golden Core Stage!!!"

Qing Dong’s legs trembled as he recalled the recent events, at first thinking that Meng Jingzhou had stayed his hand perhaps out of respect for the Goat Clan Leader. But now it seemed that the Goat Clan Leader was nothing in their eyes.

He truly had escaped with his life.

"Great Ancestors gracing us with your presence is an honor we hardly deserve. Would you please Visit our humble abode?" The old goat had shifted to a smiling face, changing his attitude by a full one hundred and eighty degrees, inviting the two as guests.

The old goat had the fortune to meet three or four Golden Core Stage cultivators, but those compared to these two were like the difference between clouds and mud.

Could it be that these two were Mid-stage Golden Core Great Powers?

In which case, it was all the more important to forge good relations.

Even if good relations could not be established, at least a good karma should be secured.

Lu Yang nodded inwardly, recalling that he had said just last night not to show off in front of insects; instead, they should find a Foundation Establishment Stage to impress.

He had intentionally released Sword Qi earlier to attract the old goat.

The plan had gone smoothly.

"There’s no need for a visit. We’ve had a discussion with the Hydroxy Insect tribe, and spending last night here was quite pleasant."

The old goat nodded eagerly: "I also think the Hydroxy Insect tribe is excellent. Although they are of the Insect Race, they have remarkable perseverance; they have a great future ahead. I’ve wanted to invite the young talents of the Hydroxy Insect tribe to my place many times, but never found the right opportunity."

The old goat understood that this was a hint to protect the Hydroxy Insect tribe.

"Good that you understand. Now leave," Meng Jingzhou waved his hand, dismissing the old goat, who was more than happy to comply.

The Hydroxy Insect tribe also took the opportunity to quickly leave this place of trouble. What if the two Great Cultivators suddenly remembered the incident from before and changed their minds, deciding to kill them?

"Alright, it’s time for us to leave as well," Lu Yang stretched lazily. After spending the night in the Hydroxy Insect tribe, he had encountered many novel things.

"Please wait, sirs, I have something to give you."

The Clan Leader of the Hydroxy Insect clenched his teeth and made up his mind. The treasure they had discovered by accident was something their tribe certainly couldn’t keep safe; it could easily bring disaster upon them.

Rather than that, it was better to give it to the two saviors.

The warriors of the Hydroxy Insect tribe dug up a Token from the ground and carried it over.

The Token was ancient-looking, with soil still clinging to its surface that hadn’t been fully cleaned, clearly a valuable object of antiquity.

"This is…" Lu Yang thought to himself that this was truly good fortune befalling the righteous.

The Clan Leader of the Hydroxy Insect ordered those around to step back, he looked up seriously at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou and said solemnly:

"This was discovered inadvertently while we were excavating land to establish our tribe. It is said that whoever possesses this Token can open the treasure trove of a Nascent Soul Stage ancestor!"

Even for two Golden Core Stage Great Powers, the treasure trove of a Nascent Soul Stage ancestor should be enticing, right?

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."
