Collapse

Dong Chengshi had no words to express his suffering.

As a direct descendant of the Dong Household and a descendant of their ancestor, and having also cultivated the [Wu Earth] Cultivation Method of Rosy Clouds Resting Mountain, he should have been superior to others and had a promising future in Little Dragon Mountain.

Unexpectedly, the [Wu Earth] lineage imposes extremely heavy constraints on cultivators.

A dignified and noble Ancient Method immortal cultivator actually had to personally carry soil and move stones to build dikes and dams, spending several years of hard work before he could barely accept his Qi Ingestion and enter the Dao.

The saying goes, "Entering the path is like choosing a master."

Even if Dong Chengshi regretted his decision and wanted to renovate the [Kan Water] and [Confluence Water] channels, it would be too late.

Fortunately, Dong Chengshi possessed some Dao wisdom and vaguely grasped the secrets of cultivating [Wu Earth]. He was most concerned with building dikes and dams, and his cultivation level was second to none among his peers, earning him the high regard of the ancestor.

Today, the ancestor specially chose this section of the dike built by Dong Chengshi to entertain the distinguished guests from Supreme Mystery Mountain.

Dong Chengshi was initially quite pleased with himself.

But to everyone's surprise, the situation changed drastically.

The noble white dragon of the South Sea, for some unknown reason, has appeared at sea, stirring up storms and causing huge waves to crash against the shore.

The Dong Household members who Qi Gathering at the mouth of the White Dragon River could only scatter and flee in disarray.

Dong Chengshi, however, could not escape.

This dam was not only built by my own hands, but it was also the key to cultivating the [Wu Earth] Cultivation Method.

If it is destroyed by the waves, not only will all the hard work of the past years be in vain, but one's cultivation level will also likely plummet, and there will be no Dao Path in the future.

As a direct descendant of the Dong Household, Dong Chengshi naturally knew about the ferocity and domineering nature of the dragon.

If the noble white dragon in the sea were to truly commit evil deeds, not only would the dikes it built be unable to stop it, but even Little Dragon Mountain would be unable to withstand it.

For a moment, Dong Chengshi felt utterly hopeless.

However, Dong Chengshi gradually realized that something was amiss.

On the dam, the old ancestor looked worried, while the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain looked relaxed and even had the leisure to joke.

Looking at the eastern sea, the dragon prince was clearly afraid of something, only daring to roar from afar, but never daring to approach.

Dong Chengshi was no fool, and of course he did not think that the dragon prince was afraid of his ancestor. He immediately looked at that Supreme Mystery Mountain cultivator with new respect and rekindled his hope of protecting the dike and the Dao Path.

They had originally hoped that the Dragon Prince and the cultivators of Supreme Mystery Mountain would confront each other from a distance, and then disperse.

Unexpectedly, the dragon prince spat out a powerful magical Law Artifact, causing the heavens and earth to change color and the sea to overflow!

Dong Chengshi immediately changed, hoping that the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain also possessed some powerful magical Law Artifact that could turn the tide.

But what happened next was far beyond Dong Chengshi's expectations.

On the dam, the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain stood solemnly, with a strange phenomenon of rivers flowing around him, his aura faintly connected to the White Dragon River not far away.

"The flow of qi connects heaven and earth, drawing in rivers... How could a Qi Refining cultivator possibly perform such a feat?!"

Dong Chengshi was not an untrained Rogue Cultivator, and he was immediately terrified.

The dragon prince in the sea was still activating his magical Law Artifact, causing towering waves.

The cultivators of Supreme Mystery Mountain on the shore drew water from the White Dragon River to prevent the seawater from flowing back in.

However, that dragon prince was of a higher cultivation level and his Law Artifact were more suitable.

The boundary line where the rivers meet is moving westward at a visible speed.

Dong Chengshi, however, had no time to examine it closely, and was extremely anxious.

The sea level is rising rapidly and could overflow the dike at any time.

All my hard work over the years will be ruined in an instant!

Dong Chengshi cultivated the [Wu Earth] element, and his own Manifestation was connected to the dam, so he vaguely felt a weight on his body.

Splash!

A clear, crisp sound of flowing water came from the water.

On the dam, the Manifestation emanating from the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain suddenly surged, drawing water from the White Dragon River and preventing the seawater from flowing back in.

At the confluence of the rivers, the westward advance slowed considerably.

The surging sea below the dike has stopped rising.

"This is... a breakthrough in the heat of battle?!"

Dong Chengshi had no time to feel relieved that he had escaped a disaster; instead, he felt somewhat dizzy.

As a traditional cultivator of the Old Method, Dong Chengshi had a personal understanding of the difficulty of cultivation and knew that breaking through a realm was even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

As for breaking through in the heat of battle, that's just anecdotal story recorded in ancient Daoist scriptures and shouldn't be taken seriously.

At least in the Southern Edge Continent, I've never heard of anyone having done it!

"Qi Refining and a Foundation Establishment Dragon Prince face off, using the rivers and seas as their chessboard..."

"The Manifestation connects heaven and earth, Law Power guides rivers..."

"And now, he has even broken through to a higher level in the face of battle..."

"Even the immortal disciples of ancient Daoist scriptures probably didn't possess such majesty!"

Dong Chengshi was filled with mixed emotions.

Could it be that I am merely a passerby in the Daoist scriptures, born specifically to witness such a legend?

If I were to record what I have seen today, and if the cultivators of Supreme Mystery Mountain on the dam were to achieve something, wouldn't it become a Daoist scripture for future generations of cultivators to read?!

Dong Chengshi suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind and then thought about his own Dao Path.

According to the ancestor, [Kan Water] and [Wu Earth] restrain each other and it is best not to come into contact with each other.

In particular, the [Turbid Current Calamity] Cultivation Method given by the ancestor is most effective at eroding [Wu Earth].

Now, that cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain is breaking through on the dam he built, and he is even drawing the dragon sons of the White Dragon River and the sea to confront each other. Dong Chengshi does not feel much damage to his Manifestation or stagnation of his Law Power. In fact, he feels that his energy is smooth and that his cultivation is progressing.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that although the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain was cultivating the [Kan Water] technique, he possessed a profound and weighty aura, like a towering mountain and a deep pool.

Above the dam, a majestic mountain seems to have sprung up out of thin air, standing firm no matter how the river flows or how the wind and waves rage.

Dong Chengshi was puzzled for a moment.

I don't know if the old ancestor's theories are wrong, or if I'm just hallucinating.

Before Dong Chengshi could sort out his thoughts, he saw the dragon prince in the sea enraged. He didn't care about dignity or prestige anymore, and simply put away his Law Artifact and fell directly into the sea, using the physical talent of Foundation Establishment dragon prince to drive the seawater ashore.

The dividing line between Kanhe and Kanhe, which had previously stopped, moved westward again.

The sea level below the dam is rising at a visible rate.

It will overflow the dam in no more than fifteen minutes.

Then all our efforts will be in vain.

My own Dao Path will come to an end here.

"The suppression of cultivation realm by Ancient Method cultivators is just that unreasonable."

"Even if the dragon prince dares not set foot on land, and can only stir up trouble from afar, it is still not something a Qi Refining cultivator can withstand."

"If he had cultivated the [Turbid Current Calamity] Cultivation Method, a secret technique passed down in my Dong Household, there might still be a sliver of hope."

"Unfortunately, the Manifestation of [Kan Water] that this person possesses is precisely that of an [Old Man by the Stream] who is not good at attacking and can only observe from the sidelines!"

Dong Chengshi's mood today was full of ups and downs.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is let go of our delusions and accept the utter defeat.

Having been defeated by the Foundation Establishment Dragon Prince of the South Sea, neither that Supreme Mystery Mountain cultivator nor I can be ashamed of our actions.

This is the will of Heaven, not a fault of the war.

On the dam, the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain seemed to have given up and stopped wasting his Law Power to pull the White Dragon River. Instead, he took out a long black stick, then pulled out a ball of white thread, and slowly tied it up.

Dong Chengshi was completely baffled.

Is this self-abandonment, or is he really addicted, still casting his line to fish even at a time like this?!

The cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain calmly tied on his fishing hook and line, not even glancing at the rising seawater that was almost beneath his feet, and gently cast his line with a composed expression.

The fishing line was quite magical, stretching far into the distance before falling into the White Dragon River.

Then, the cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain reached out and pulled, and the fishing line instantly taut, the black fishing rod bending into a huge arc, as if it had really hooked something heavy.

The cultivator from Supreme Mystery Mountain remained calm, but the veins on his hands bulged, and his Law Power Manifestation was pushed to its limit. Behind him, an illusion of a fisherman as tall as a mountain appeared, gently tugging at the fishing line.

Rumble!

A deafening, muffled thud.

Dong Chengshi was greatly alarmed.

The world at the mouth of the White Dragon River has collapsed!
