Protagonist:

Yu Changsheng

"2,800,000 Essence Points?"

Yu Changsheng stroked his eyebrow and muttered, his brow smoothing into a broad grin.

"Not bad, not bad. For the short term, it should be enough for emergencies."

Yu Changsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking thus as he turned his head to look at the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon; the latter had already completed its breakthrough, converged its entire aura, and was now looking affectionately at Changsheng.

"Ang ang! Thank you, Master!"

The Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon howled excitedly.

Yu Changsheng smiled faintly, patted the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon's head, sensed its condition, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. It's broken through to Fourth-Rank Late-Stage. Besides Turtle Senior, there's finally a tamed beast that has also reached the late stage."

Yu Changsheng's gaze held a sigh; the cultivation backlash from the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon's breakthrough arrived simultaneously, adding a bit to Yu Changsheng's cultivation base, yet it did not trigger a breakthrough.

Regarding this, Yu Changsheng also found it normal; with his current cultivation depth, every Violet Mansion Gate stands a thousand zhang tall, the cultivation required for a breakthrough is truly oceanic, this bit of feedback cultivation doesn't amount to much.

"You've all been breaking through a bit too fast lately; be careful of unstable foundations."

Wei Lao watched from the side, then suddenly spoke, his tone relaxed and smiling.

"This disciple will take note; please rest assured, Master, it's fine."

Yu Changsheng cupped his fists and said.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A cool night wind blew in, carrying the sea's unique fishy stench, blowing the dust in the pool into the storm; after it scattered, the dark clouds that had originally blanketed the sky in gloom had, at some unknown time, also dispersed, revealing behind the thick cloud layers a flawless white moon and a sky full of stars.

Amidst the stars surrounding the moon, the moon emitted a water-like radiance, sprinkling it over the earth, falling upon the ocean; starlight also swept in, rippling with silver brilliance, turning into ripples wave after wave along with the spray.

"Pa pa pa..."

Sea water struck the reefs, at first gentle then gradually turning violent; countless waves shattered into countless wisps of water mist spreading over the islets, as if to wash clean all the world's filth.

Moonlight like water, starlight dot by dot, illuminated the entire islet; atop the islet, a deathly silence, already riddled with holes; the few mountain ranges on the island undulated in ruins; trees withered; large patches of hollows were turbid; countless buildings destroyed; within the earth a crimson glow flickered — that was blood.

From the ruins one could faintly hear weak groans; those were the other cultivators residing on this Jiaolong Island, who believed in the Jiaolong, sheltered by the Jiaolong, now also shattered.

The battle between the Jiaolong and the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon and other spirit beasts, the battle between Yu Changsheng and Han Chong...

Between each other, although they hadn't reached the Spirit Transformation level where a move shifts mountains and fills seas with laws manifesting, it was still shocking enough; the aftershocks erupted, and with neither party deliberately controlling them, though they didn't overturn this small island, they still caused significant damage.

Spirit Transformation's might can reach a thousand li, shift mountains and fill seas; Violet Mansion's power can also, with a move, make a hundred li of earth tremble and oceans shake. The battle among these few people produced this result; even within the islet, not a few low-cultivation local cultivators had perished in it.

At this, Yu Changsheng also expressed helplessness; his heart stirred, yet he remained silent, saying nothing.

"The cultivation world is like this; if your strength isn't strong enough, who knows when a random strong person's unintentional sneeze might annihilate everyone else body and soul."

Wei Lao glanced at the surrounding devastated scenery, expressionlessly saying lightly.

"If we hadn't timely brought the Wanxiang Sect across the sea domain and fled Wuzhou, I'm afraid by now the Wanxiang Sect would also have long ceased to exist, destroyed in an instant."

Hearing this, Yu Changsheng nodded silently, lightly exhaled a breath, shook his head with a smile, cupped his fists and said:

"This disciple engraves it on his heart; knowing this, Wuzhou — we will definitely kill our way back one day."

"Mm."

Wei Lao nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Jiaolong Island, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and said: "Speaking back to it, the Jiaolong is dead, Han Chong has also fallen; that is to say, currently this islet has become an ownerless thing."

"Such a vast Beihai, broad sea domain, numerous forces; ownerless islets like this are not many; this is a fortune of no small value."

Wei Lao stroked his beard, speaking with deep meaning.

"Master, your meaning is..."

Yu Changsheng froze, tentatively asking.

"Mm," Wei Lao nodded, chuckling, "This place is still a distance from Hai Shou Tian Dao, yet not too far either; we're carrying the entire Wanxiang Sect on our backs."

"Always having Xuan Gui carry it isn't a solution; it can't carry for too long either; since right now there's a ready-made islet, just right, why not settle the Wanxiang Sect here temporarily?"

Yu Changsheng pondered, his tone still uncertain, probed the islet, and said in surprise and doubt: "That works too, Master's words are correct; only, aren't we going to seek refuge with your old friend?"

"When the time comes, settling the Wanxiang Sect beside Hai Shou Tian Dao, neighboring each other, wouldn't that be even better and safer?"

Wei Lao fell silent, shook his head and said: "Although I have friendship with that old friend, we haven't met in a long time; I only know he currently serves as an Elder in Hai Shou Tian Dao, but the specific situation cannot be generalized; I don't know how he's faring recently?"

"In case he's not having an easy time in the vast world, us moving the entire huge Wanxiang Sect over there, while certainly having his shelter, would also add many troubles for him; owing a huge favor is major, and I don't like doing that."

Wei Lao's tone paused, he deeply exhaled a breath, a contemplative look in his eyes, and continued: "On the other hand, the vast Hai Shou Tian

Dao, within it forces are deeply rooted and complex; relying on the Wanxiang Sect's tiny weight, we can't guarantee we won't be targeted by scheming people. Accepting his shelter is good, but we must prevent being coveted; therefore, the best method is for us not to rush to move the Wanxiang Sect too close, staying here is just fine."

"As for specifics, after we go to Hai Shou Tian Dao and see that old friend of mine, there will naturally be a conclusion; for now, in my view, it's still best to temporarily settle the Wanxiang Sect on this Jiaolong Island; this is very good. This sea domain, I also observed when I came, is relatively peaceful. Even if pirates appear, they at most won't reach Spirit Transformation; thus, my Wanxiang Sect here need not worry about safety, we should first establish a foothold here and develop and observe for a while."

Wei Lao finished speaking, then fixed his gaze on Yu Changsheng, lightly coughed twice, and asked:

"What do you think?"

Yu Changsheng pondered, thought carefully for a moment, then nodded and said: "Master's words are extremely correct; this disciple has no objection. The heart to harm others must not exist, the heart to guard against others must not be absent; we are indeed coming to the Beihai Yu for the first time, unfamiliar with the place and people, and the Heavenly Dao, the specifics are also unknown; pinning all hopes on your old self is truly improper."

"The best method is to let the Wanxiang Sect develop on its own into a force right here, secretly growing and strengthening — nothing could be better."

"Good." Wei Lao spoke with gratification.

The two finished their exchange, then looked at Xuan Gui; Xuan Gui was lying on Wei Lao's shoulder sleeping lazily, sound asleep, until Yu Changsheng knocked on its shell to wake it, whereupon it trembled, extended its head, slowly woke, glanced around, and Xuan Gui's deep voice transmitted lazily, saying:

"What's the matter waking me up? Don't you know I'm in the middle of absorbing and digesting the Painful Hai Dragon Lion's Inner Dan? These days it's rare to get a peaceful sleep; carrying a huge piece of land on my back, ten thousand living beings — it's very heavy, you know." Xuan Gui said discontentedly.

"Hehe."

Hearing this, Yu Changsheng scratched his head, laughed hehe, touched his nose, complexion respectful, and spoke.

"Senior has worked hard; I know you're tired, but fortunately now you can relax a bit; my Master and I have decided to settle the Wanxiang Sect here."

"What do you think?"

Yu Zhangsheng spoke sincerely; the Xuan Turtle was also part of the Wanxiang Sect, and its opinion was equally important.

The Xuan Turtle was slightly stunned, extended its turtle head to sense the surrounding movements for a good long while, glanced at Wei Lao and Yu Zhangsheng, and said calmly:

"You decide, I don't mind; we've already carried it this far, carrying it for a while longer is no problem."

"This island is actually not bad; settling the Wanxiang Sect here, I also just sensed it, the strongest sea beasts in the surrounding sea area do not exceed Rank Five, the Wanxiang Sect recuperating here should not have any danger either, it is good."

The Xuan Turtle answered like this.

Wei Lao raised an eyebrow, stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Then it's hard work for you, old friend; rushing about non-stop all this way, now you can slowly release the Wanxiang Sect."

"It just so happens this island is good; I just probed and discovered the underground actually contains a Spirit Vein embryo; although not large, it is also quite good."

"No wonder the Jiaolong chose this as its dwelling place; now it has benefited us instead; the island's size is also about right; using this island as a foundation, filling our Wanxiang Sect's eight hundred li of mountains and rivers onto it, plus the Wanxiang Sect's two Spirit Veins, using them to stimulate the birth of this island seabed's Spirit Vein embryo, it won't take long before this Spirit Vein is completely formed."

"At that time, nourished by three Spirit Veins, our Wanxiang Sect will surely usher in better development, teeming with talent; after transforming this place a bit, it will also count as a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land."

Wei Lao spoke, looking at the Xuan Turtle; the Xuan Turtle lightly raised its head, let out a light cry, and as its body swayed, a vast blue light centered on it, spreading over the entire island.

"Light of the Vast Sea, Heaven and Earth naturally contain!"

Blue light flickered; within the light, space blurred and twisted; faintly some outlines of mountains and rivers could be revealed, belonging to the Wanxiang Sect; a breath completely different from the Beihai Yu flowed out strand by strand from within; instantly, space trembled, moonlight poured down, the calm sea surface rolled up wind and waves, fierce wind howled and came.

"Suppress!"

Wei Lao cast a spell, pinching a hand seal; a trace of excitement surged in his eyes; he exhaled a long breath, deployed a divine ability, suppressed the commotion, then looked at the Xuan Turtle.

The Xuan Turtle continued to let out a clear cry; the sound was strange, natural like flowing clouds and water; the Light of the Vast Sea erupted even more vastly on its body, covering everything on the island.

The scenes within became more and more condensed; the mountains and rivers belonging to the Southern Region, belonging to the Wanxiang Sect, were slowly descending; one part landed on the delay, one part filled the ocean, filling the sea to create land, expanding the entire Jiaolong Island.

"Woo woo woo!!"

Wind sounds came again; within a radius of ten thousand li, all sea beasts seemed to sense something and fled in panic; and not long after, a mountain belonging to the Wanxiang Sect completely condensed, descending from the Xuan Turtle's body onto Jiaolong Island.

Boom boom boom! Qi waves surged; a breath completely different from the ocean, carrying an indescribable Dao rhyme, agitated; on Jiaolong Island it was out of place, yet instantly fused perfectly.

"This is..."

"Where did this mountain come from?"

"What do they want to do?"

On Jiaolong Island, some cultivators who still had their lives, watching this scene, were completely stunned, their minds shaken, not understanding why.

Under the moonlight, in the starry sky, the Wanxiang Sect's mountains stood tall and erect on Jiaolong Island, so abrupt, like a crane standing among chickens, yet indescribably harmonious; the full sky's moonlight and starlight sprinkled on the mountain, seemingly a special contrast, making this mountain crystalline, looking quite sacred.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

In the Void, from all directions, spiritual Qi suddenly surged, surrounding this mountain; an inexplicable Dao rhyme was agitating.

Seeing this, Wei Lao's eyes flashed with light, his brows and eyes showed joy, he said softly: "Sure enough, some of my guesses were correct."

As he contemplated, the Xuan Turtle let out a long breath of turbid Qi; the Light of the Vast Sea flickered; soon a second mountain descended, followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth...

After the mountains and rivers came rivers surging in succession; even the earth was the same; the grass and trees covering the mountains and fields, the living beings contained within... finally it was the entire Wanxiang Sect's people, descending with a boom, completely landing on Jiaolong Island.

The Wanxiang Sect's eight hundred li territory completely emerged! At this moment falling in the sea region, with Jiaolong Island as the foundation, abruptly adding many mountains and rivers; the originally not large island also suddenly expanded.

"Boom boom boom!"

Sea waves surged; spiritual Qi from all directions frantically surged, pouring toward Jiaolong Island, turning into a spiritual Qi torrent, washing over all this; the entire Jiaolong Island expanded a full circle; moonlight fell like water, the island appeared a few degrees more sacred; immediately after, the sound of cheering rose.

Voices from the entire Wanxiang Sect, long-missed chaotic noise resounded, shaking the clouds, the moonlit night also difficult to calm.

"This is..."

"Relocation successful? Where are we?"

"Such rich spiritual Qi; these days, it nearly suffocated me."

"Have we left Wuzhou? Such thick water attribute fluctuations; this place's aura also gives me a strange feeling."

"It's been so long; where have we arrived? Is the relocation considered over?"

Streams of clamorous voices argued up to the clouds; the originally slightly sparsely populated Jiaolong Island instantly became full of life; the Wanxiang Sect's every blade of grass, every tree, every flower...

In this foreign land, perfectly reappeared, triggering spiritual Qi to frantically surge to the ground; above the Tian Qiong, unknown when there were also flashing lightning lights; law fluctuations collided invisibly; the surrounding wind and waves grew even larger.

"From now on, this place will no longer be called Jiaolong Island, but Wanxiang Island!" (Chapter End)
