A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 678: Chapter 518: Dao Fruit Choice

“The five rare Dao Fruits of the Wood Lord, Beast King, Earth Immortal, Spirit Sovereign, and Yin-Yang God are the most brilliant fruits borne by my Myriad Phenomena Natural Immortal Body. These are roughly the most precious power systems I can obtain in the Star Sea World…”

“Although for someone like me, who has awakened the All Things Druid profession, awakening a thousand or ten thousand more Druid professions is not a difficult task. However, awakening more professions doesn’t seem to serve much purpose; instead, it makes me bite off more than I can chew.”

The excess of Druid professions not only fails to enhance his strength but also disperses his energy.

Like the newly awakened Dao Fruit, with only a few tiers of destructive power, it cannot provide him any benefits and will only waste his time.

Achieving tier seven destructive power for any Dao Fruit requires unimaginable time and resources.

Even with the Wood Lord and Beast King Dao Fruits, which serve a supportive role, Qi Ping spent countless resources and energy.

The Wood Lord Dao Fruit grew to its current level after Qi Ping directly planted the Spirit Wood Seeds, accumulated over millions of years in the Star Sea World, and received the sacrifice from the Cyan Dragon Sacred Beast.

The Beast King Dao Fruit barely reached tier six after Qi Ping contracted with so many powerful Spirit Beasts.

The Earth Immortal and Spirit Sovereign Dao Fruits are even more special; they reached tier seven when he twisted the Star Sea World’s decline to prosperity and revival, resisting demonic realm invasions through multiple near-death experiences.

Even if Qi Ping were to do it again, he isn’t confident he could cultivate the Earth Immortal and Spirit Sovereign Dao Fruits to their current level again; the growth difficulty of Earth Immortal Power and Emperor’s Power is too high.

The final Yin-Yang God Dao Fruit consumed most of Qi Ping’s energy.

Now, the few potentially useful powers Qi Ping can think of are the Space Dao Fruit and Time Dao Fruit. However, awakening these Dao Fruits is not easy, and their growth is even harder.

Even though his comprehension of the Space Law isn’t low, he only gleans superficial knowledge by sharing the power of Void Fish, excelling at escaping but still far from forming a Dao Fruit comparable to the Yin-Yang God.

So without greater need, he wouldn’t even consider awakening a complete Space Dao Fruit.

Even Qi Ping now looked at the species Dao Fruits on the panel and fell into contemplation:

“What should I allocate my energy to next?”

“Continue to cultivate all five Dao Fruits simultaneously?”

Based on regular experience, biting off more than one can chew surely fails.

Choosing one Dao Fruit to prioritize may have a greater chance of reaching the end; otherwise, he might end up mediocre.

“Human energy is limited, after all, and countless brilliant geniuses have failed here throughout history…”

Qi Ping is not arrogant enough to think he will be the exception.

“However, these five Dao Fruits have accompanied me to this day, each playing a significant role, and abandoning any of them is inappropriate…”

Outside, any of the Dao Fruitions on his person would be coveted desperately, making abandonment even harder.

Thinking of this, Qi Ping fell into a long silence, his brows furrowed deeply.

He’s contemplating how best to journey on this path of cultivation…

“Is this a sort of blessed dilemma? If they were ordinary Dao Fruits, I’d discard them without hesitation; a single Yin-Yang God is a truly top-tier Dao Fruit…”

However, Qi Ping’s tightly knitted brows quickly loosened, and a faint smile appeared on his lips:

“It seems like I don’t need to choose after all…”

Because after carefully analyzing the pros and cons of each Dao Fruit, Qi Ping suddenly discovered that cultivating these five Dao Fruits together not only wouldn’t disperse his energy but would be far more effective than focusing on just one!

“The core cultivation of the Wood Lord Dao Fruit is understanding the Wood Law and cultivating more powerful Spirit Woods…”

Understanding the Wood Law is one of the laws necessary for cultivating the Yin-Yang God, meaning there’s no conflict between understanding the Wood Law and advancing the Yin-Yang God Dao Fruit.

Furthermore, he already has an entire Star Sea World as a cultivation ground for Spirit Wood, and occasionally seeking or cultivating Spirit Wood doesn’t waste much time.

“So it seems that cultivating the Wood Lord Dao Fruit requires very little energy…”

“Moreover, the Wood Lord Dao Fruit has immortal capabilities and the ability to cultivate Spiritual Medicine. I can also gain insights into the Five Elements Law from contracted Spirit Wood, which greatly aids cultivation and survival.”

“Thus, the Wood Lord Dao Fruit offers a very high cost-effectiveness for me!”

With this, Qi Ping finds a must-reason to cultivate the Wood Lord Dao Fruit.

The battle system represented by the Wood Lord Dao Fruit, along with its support and combat roles, is all top-tier.

“Next, it seems the Beast King Dao Fruit is also quite similar…”

“Although the Beast King Dao Fruit is currently the weakest, only sixth-tier, at the Void Refining level, this is only temporary. Should Yaya and others return, and be re-integrated into the core range of the Beast King Dao Fruit, it may well reach tier seven…”

Currently, Qi Ping is piloting a Void Airship, heading to the world where Yaya resides…

“Though in combat, the Beast King Dao Fruit doesn’t directly provide great combat power, the contracted Spirit Beasts are extremely suited for life-and-death battles.”

The Golden Marrow Bees with increasingly powerful bloodline strength, the Holy Cyan Dragon, Void Fish schools… all have quite unique combat powers.

“Moreover, cultivating Spirit Beasts doesn’t require much effort; as long as sufficient resources are obtained, it’s enough. The talent and power shared through contracted Pet Beasts also assist in my cultivation.”

“Especially sharing the talents of contracted Pet Beasts, the aid they bring to my cultivation is almost maxed out.”

Qi Ping, who originally had low talent, rose step by step through the power of the Beast King Druid.

One could say every advancement by the Beast King Druid brought him a qualitative change along the entire cultivation path.

Furthermore, the Beast King Dao Fruit is tied to many life-and-death Animal Companions, with these bonds, he is unwilling to abandon the cultivation of the Beast King Dao Fruit.

The Beast King Druid is a profession he greatly cherishes.

Moreover, as long as the contracted Animal Companions grow, their combat power may not be weaker than his own.

Qi Ping, having thoroughly considered it, found that the Beast King Dao Fruit seems to have the same high cost-effectiveness as the Wood Lord Dao Fruit.

“Thus, the Beast King Dao Fruit, like the Wood Lord Dao Fruit, is a power that can always accompany me. Continuous cultivation not only won’t slow down my cultivation speed but will accelerate the cultivation progress!”

“But as for the Earth Immortal and Spirit Sovereign Dao Fruits… their subsequent roles are much smaller…”

“Having left the Star Sea World, the Earth Immortal and Spirit Sovereign Dao Fruits, relying on the Star Sea World and its beings, can hardly exert any power, with destructive power levels infinitely close to zero…”

Thinking of this, Qi Ping couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful:

“Is there truly no way?”
