Chapter 190: Retrieving the Six-Soul Banner

On the East Sea.

The waves were surging.

Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao wandered on the East Sea.

The East Sea is so vast; how difficult it is to find someone.

If it weren't for the Six-Soul Banner, they really wouldn't want to look for it.

Suddenly, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Dingguang Xian has fallen and the Six-Soul Banner is lost. The host went out to search, triggering an event option. Please make a choice, host."

"Option 1: Go back to Three Immortals Island and wait for news from fellow disciples, reward: 10,000 years of cultivation!"

"Option 2: Go sightseeing with Bi Xiao, looking for the Six-Soul Banner as fate dictates, reward: Top-grade innate spiritual root, Acacia tree seedling!"

"Option 3: Search with all your might for the whereabouts of the Six-Soul Banner to prevent it from falling into the hands of others, reward: Southern Bright Fire! (This fire is pure white because it burns to the extreme, burning everything, and it is even more damaging to yin spirits and ghosts. It is a unique divine fire of the Phoenix Clan and one of the most domineering flames in heaven and earth.)"

Looking at the options, Gu Xiu directly ignored the first one; 10,000 years of cultivation was optional.

The second reward, the Acacia tree, is the holy tree of Qingqiu; giving him a seedling is fine.

As for the Southern Bright Fire rewarded by the third option, it is a special flame.

There are many terrifying flames in the Primordial: Sun True Fire, Moon True Fire, Red Lotus Karma Fire, Nine Heavens Profound Fire, Six Ding Divine Fire; this Southern Bright Fire is one of them.

It is also a unique flame of the Phoenix Clan. The ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, Yuan Feng, used the Southern Bright Fire.

If he could master it, it would be another means of attack for Gu Xiu, so he silently chose the third option in his heart.

"System, I choose three."

"Ding!"

"Choice successful, task time limit is three days. Please complete it as soon as possible, host. If the time limit expires, it will be considered a failure!"

After choosing, Gu Xiu regretted it.

The Primordial East Sea is so big; where is he going to find the Six-Soul Banner in three days?

After staying nearby for a while, a large number of aquatic creatures migrated in the East Sea.

Occasionally, sea beasts floated up from the bottom of the sea, their bodies as huge as mountains, setting off stormy waves.

Gu Xiu went up to stop a sea beast.

The sea beast looked up and spoke human words.

"Dare I ask, exalted immortal, is there something you want by stopping me?"

"Looking at you all heading in one direction, has something major happened in the East Sea recently?"

"Exalted immortal, something major has indeed happened. The Jie Sect suddenly struck the golden bell, and many aquatic creatures are rushing to Golden Turtle Island, wanting to see if the Shangqing Saint is going to preach. I am also going to take a look; if I can gain something from it, it won't be a wasted trip."

Seeing that this sea beast was simple-minded, Gu Xiu said: "The Jie Sect is currently closing the sect and not accepting outside visitors. This time the golden bell was struck, not for the Saint to preach."

"How does the exalted immortal know?" The sea beast was puzzled.

Before Gu Xiu could reply, Bi Xiao said playfully: "Because we are disciples of the Jie Sect."

"Ah!" The sea beast was stunned for a moment: "I had eyes but didn't see that you two were exalted immortals of the Jie Sect."

Gu Xiu's expression was indifferent, looking at the sea beast calmly: "Along the way, besides hearing the golden bell, did you really see no other abnormalities?"

"Exalted immortal, really none." Suddenly the sea beast thought of something.

"By the way, two exalted immortals, on the way here, I seemed to hear the small fish and shrimp around talking about a terrifying black energy suddenly appearing under a deep trench in the sea area ahead, which can devour life, causing many aquatic creatures to flee from that deep trench."

This news made Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao's eyes light up.

Bi Xiao was in a good mood, her beautiful face filled with a smile.

"This news is crucial to us. I also raise some animals when I'm bored. I think you, this sea beast, are pleasing to the eye. Although my Jie Sect is not preaching, if you are willing, you can be the guardian beast of my Three Immortals Island. I allow you to cultivate near Three Immortals Island. If you agree, go to Three Immortals Island. If my eldest sister and second sister ask, just say I said so."

Hearing this, the sea beast was a bit excited.

"Could it be that the exalted immortals are the Three Clouds Ladies who live on Three Immortals Island?"

Bi Xiao beamed with joy: "You have a good eye."

"Thank you, Three Clouds Ladies, the little one is willing to be the island-guarding divine beast of Three Immortals Island."

"Alright, go to Three Immortals Island yourself and stay nearby. We will decide how to arrange you when we go back."

Hearing Bi Xiao's words, the sea beast rushed to Three Immortals Island without stopping.

The two followed the route the sea beast came from.

Noticing many aquatic creatures migrating in groups ahead.

Gu Xiu found several creatures that had gained intelligence and asked them.

Learned that not long ago, a deep trench on the seabed did indeed emerge with black energy that devoured creatures that approached.

"The Six-Soul Banner has the ability to devour and capture the souls of living beings. It seems that the deep trench is where the Six-Soul Banner was lost."

But looking at the vast sea, Gu Xiu frowned slightly; he had never gone deep into the seabed.

"Senior Uncle, the East Sea is vast and boundless, and some places are full of unknown dangers. We must be careful when we go down."

"Do I need you to tell me that? This Senior Uncle naturally knows." Bi Xiao curled her lips.

The two entered the seabed.

They went all the way in the direction the aquatic creatures said on the road.

The seabed world is complex and diverse, with strange-shaped reefs and colorful coral clusters scattered.

Arriving at the sea trench the aquatic creatures spoke of, everything around was thick darkness.

Extremely terrifying dark energy dissipated from the depths of the sea trench, and the evil energy soared to the sky.

From the endless black energy, one could see the Six-Soul Banner lying in the depths of the sea trench.

The strange patterns on the Six-Soul Banner kept flashing, releasing gloomy and terrifying black energy, devouring all living beings around, making people shudder.

Seeing this scene, Bi Xiao's pretty face tightened.

"The energy emitted by the Six-Soul Banner is too terrifying; we must think of another way."

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "Senior Uncle, don't worry. Have you forgotten? I have the World-Destroying Black Lotus, born in the dark abyss, capable of absorbing violent energy, specifically restraining these things."

Hearing the reminder, Bi Xiao suddenly realized.

"Alright, then I'll rest on the side, everything is up to you."

If it weren't for the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, it is estimated that even if Duobao and the Three Great Holy Mothers came, they might not be able to easily take away the Six-Soul Banner.

Gu Xiu didn't think much, summoned the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus,

The twelve lotus petals of the lotus platform were as black as ink, exuding a heavy dark energy, cold and strange.

Gu Xiu sat on the lotus platform and headed toward the depths of the sea trench.

Seeing the World-Destroying Black Lotus absorbing the black energy released by the Six-Soul Banner.

Gu Xiu was amazed; it is worthy of being the World-Destroying Black Lotus born in the dark abyss and nurtured with demonic energy. Meeting the Six-Soul Banner is simply a professional match.

Very smoothly, he reached the depths of the sea trench and took away the Six-Soul Banner.

When the Six-Soul Banner was put away.

The surroundings of the sea trench began to return to calm, and the dissipated black energy gradually dissipated.

At the same time, the system's prompt sounded.

"Ding!"

"Successfully collected the Six-Soul Banner, task completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Southern Bright Fire!"

The reward was in hand, and Gu Xiu was very satisfied.

He had another means of attack; this trip was worth it.

Seeing Gu Xiu come out from the depths of the sea trench, Bi Xiao stepped forward, her lively eyes somewhat concerned: "How was it?"

Gu Xiu smiled: "The Six-Soul Banner has been retrieved. Let's go out and contact Master and Senior Uncle and the others, and then go back to Golden Turtle Island."

Bi Xiao had no opinion. They came out of the seabed, contacted Yun Xiao, Duobao, and others, and returned to Golden Turtle Island with Gu Xiu. ===== CHAPTER 191 =====
