A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 436: Chapter 374: Senior Bee!_2

At this moment, atop this ordinary mountain, there stood over a dozen figures with overwhelmingly domineering auras, exuding either the presence of a Void Refining Level or having Void Refining Level trump cards despite being at the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Every cultivator here was someone whose mere stamp could shake the entirety of the Star Sea Continent!

Each carried an extraordinary demeanor, honed over years of occupying high positions.

Yet now, these peak leaders from various regions could only lower their pride to request a meeting with Qi Ping.

Qi Ping even vaguely sensed an aura above that of Void Refining, likely originating from some hidden trump card.

"Interesting! No wonder they dare to come here..."

However, Qi Ping was not afraid of this.

Because he was very certain, even if that trump card above Void Refining erupted, it could not pose much threat to him.

And in the instant Qi Ping tore open a spatial rift and arrived, the gazes of these peak leaders converged instantly on that leading black-clad figure.

"Bee Daoist!"

"Bee Daoist has appeared!"

"So this is Bee Daoist?"

These peak leaders looked at the figure containing the vast power of heaven and earth, and were deeply shocked within.

Especially feeling the incredibly lethal force from Qi Ping, they dared not entertain any crooked thoughts, for this was the oppressive force brought by Bee Daoist!

Because this was their first true meeting with Qi Ping, seeing him countless times in images before did not compare to the shock of this encounter.

"Senior Bee!" As if rehearsed, everyone solemnly clasped their fists towards Qi Ping, speaking in unison.

This scene left Lin Yue and Wang He internally shaken, for these were top powerhouses of the Star Sea Continent! Though they held high positions in the Qingtian Realm, their current strength was insignificant on this continent.

Any of these Divinity Transformation or Void Refining cultivators could easily crush them!

Yet it was precisely these mighty figures, who could only bow their heads humbly before their dean, showing a deference that was almost excessive, and it was at this moment they witnessed the gap between themselves and Qi Ping!

The respectful attitude of these leaders did not allow Qi Ping to find any fault, otherwise he truly would not hesitate to use them as warnings.

But on second thought, at this moment, those harboring malice would not appear among this crowd and come to this place.

"Everyone, what you wish to say to me in person, you may speak now!"

Qi Ping did not spare them much face, remembering well the affairs outside the Qingtian Realm back then, although they hadn’t acted, if they wanted his respect, they’d have to earn it through action.

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a terrifying array based on the Yin Yang Five Elements and integrating Spatial Power instantaneously enveloped everyone!

An overwhelmingly lethal crisis rose in the hearts of all.

The leaders who came to the Qingtian Realm immediately realized that if Qi Ping wished, none of them could escape!

Among them, some initially intended to negotiate for more in the cooperation with Qi Ping, but with the formation of this array, those thoughts were instantly quashed.

Bee Daoist’s power surpassed their expectations!

Yet what followed was not humiliation, but joy in their hearts!

With such power, the Star Sea Continent had hope!

"We implore Senior Bee to save the Star Sea Continent!"

Eighteen super leaders at the top of the Star Sea Continent, core members of the Star Sea Alliance, bowed most respectfully to Qi Ping at this moment!

After speaking, they all looked intently at Qi Ping. They might have their own agendas, and recognized Qi Ping’s character, having a desire to gamble under Qi Ping’s leadership, but regarding the safeguarding of their homeland, they possessed an unwavering resolve.

For even before coming here today, despite knowing Bee Daoist’s might, they still thought his chances of victory were only two or three in ten, or even lower.

Bee Daoist’s power was extraordinary, but greatly restricted outside the Qingtian Realm — Celestial Dragon Continent’s cultivators, the Demon Race, the Forest Sea Demon Realm — each was a colossal entity that could not be shaken.

Although those forces might only send a small portion to attack here, could merely one Bee Daoist turn the tides?

The role of an individual’s strength was too small in battles involving millions!

Yet even with such slim hopes of victory, they still came!

And it seemed they bet correctly, Bee Daoist’s might was far more terrifying than previously anticipated!

They even felt... perhaps the strength Bee Daoist displayed now was only a part of his true power!

"Save the Star Sea Continent?"

Qi Ping watched their performance with a trace of surprise on his face.

Because just now, he activated the strength of the Earth Immortal Druid and utilized the Investigation Array to comprehensively perceive every subtle action, Dao Heart, and Divine Soul fluctuation of these individuals, to assess the truth of their words.

This was why he insisted on setting the meeting place in the Qingtian Realm, personally coming, so no small thought or action of theirs would escape his eyes.

Now Qi Ping was basically certain, these were genuinely heartfelt.

"It’s basically settled, choosing to cooperate with these people is viable, later I can have the little Immortal Tiger verify to ensure..." Qi Ping thought to himself.

"But why do you believe I would agree to your request? If memory serves, weren’t you among those surrounding the Qingtian Realm and sending spies to it?" Qi Ping did not immediately agree, but instead, posed a question.

Faced with this tricky question, the eighteen leaders of the Star Sea Continent exchanged looks, then one Void Refining cultivator from Immortal Wind Dao Valley stepped forward and solemnly bowed before Qi Ping:

"Senior Bee, on behalf of them, I apologize for the impoliteness before!"

"The decision to act as we did wasn’t entirely out of malice, as you know, the resource scarcity on the Star Sea Continent is severe, and even we high-level cultivators couldn’t help but follow conventions..."

"I apologize once more for this rude behavior... however, this is not an evasion of fault, but an explanation of the reason, and I am willing to bear any responsibility and compensation for it. As long as it’s within our capability and Senior Bee desires it, we will do our utmost to make amends..."

Upon hearing this, not just Lin Yue and Wang He, even Qi Ping was startled.

Such sincere attitude, Qi Ping could find no fault with.

The elder with the Immortal Wind Dao demeanor bowed apologetically again to Qi Ping, then continued:

"We wish to join Senior Bee’s side more due to our own intent, but more so because we see hope for victory in Senior Bee!"

At this, the elder’s voice suddenly grew more animated.

"Before this, no matter how hard we tried, how desperately we fought, we were merely lambs awaiting slaughter for the Celestial Dragon Continent, and naturally, we sought ways to gain more resources for our Path of Cultivation."

Reaching this point today, each of them possessed the strongest talent and most outstanding will and Dao Heart, but were constrained by resource scarcity, halted at their current Realm!

"But after witnessing Senior Bee in action that day, and considering the fear the Celestial Dragon Continent holds for him, we realized hope for victory stood before us!"

"However, merely saying ’hope for victory’ is too insincere, we also saw that if we were to win, could the Star Sea Continent be restored to its peak glory? We and our descendants’ forces might benefit from this, glimpsing Integration, or even Mahayana Realm!"

"Compared to the seemingly extraordinary resources offered by Celestial Dragon Continent cultivators, fighting alongside Senior Bee is a better path for Immortal Ascension!"

As peak cultivators privy to many secrets, they increasingly saw the terror of Bee Daoist!

Moreover, Bee Daoist possessed the richest destiny of the Star Sea Continent, further proving he might be the continent’s last chance for self-rescue.....

If this bold gamble succeeded, Integration and Mahayana might no longer be mere desires!

"And, most importantly, who they are following is Senior Bee, the Star Sea Continent’s sole Earth Immortal! We couldn’t possibly trust others, but for Senior Bee, we are willing to take this gamble!"

"Additionally, I am willing to offer up my Soul Core during this collaboration to prove our sincerity!"

Saying that, the elder from the Immortal Dao readily summoned his Soul Origin and presented it before Qi Ping without hesitation...
