Chapter 142: Opening Apertures on a Deserted Island
The Daoist robes of the Seven Blood Eyes are divided into seven colors according to the seven different peaks.
Among them, orange is the Second Peak, blue is the Sixth Peak, and purple is the Seventh Peak.
As for the First Peak, it is red, like blood.
Those truly famous in the Eastern Wanggu and the Forbidden Sea within the Seven Blood Eyes are actually the First Peak and the Seventh Peak.
Among them, the First Peak is known for slaughter and coldness. Every member is a combat cultivator and rarely goes out to sea, mostly honing themselves within the Huang Forbidden.
Only those in the First Peak who have confidence in their cultivation and combat power will occasionally choose to hone their combat techniques in the unfamiliar Forbidden Sea. Therefore, whether in the sect or in the Forbidden Sea, this was the first First Peak combat cultivator Xu Qing had seen.
And he would not mistake him because of the Daoist robe.
Because there are some obscure patterns on the Daoist robes of each peak, related to their own tokens and auras, causing the patterns on the Daoist robes to echo and shine when they meet each other.
This was designed to prevent people from dressing up and appearing outside because the sect was too large.
Although they were fellow disciples, Xu Qing's vigilance did not decrease in the slightest. He couldn't understand the specific meaning of the other party's inexplicable words, but faintly felt that it seemed to be reminding himself not to snatch.
After all, the three words "hiding in the bag," combined with the other party's act of chasing the giant-toothed shark, faintly revealed some implications.
So at this moment, when Xu Qing looked coldly, the cold light on his black iron slip shone, and his shadow, seemingly like that, was actually ready to pounce under Xu Qing's control.
At the same time, his Dharma Boat was also like this, and the Forbidden Sea snake-necked dragon in his body was also swimming in the Dharma Apertures, its neck thorns swaying rapidly.
The moment Xu Qing gazed, the giant-toothed shark fleeing toward him on the sea surface hissed, turned around, and swallowed directly toward the youth chasing from behind.
Even more, as its big mouth opened, a cloud of blood mist sprayed out, turning into the shadows of countless fish and shrimp, approaching the First Peak youth.
"The silver river water of the heaven is too ordinary, let me drink it dry in one gulp." The youth spoke calmly, his right hand raised to pinch seals. Immediately, the bronze great sword beneath him roared, actually manifesting rows of sword shadows in the surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, a full fifty or more identical bronze great swords formed around him. Amidst the descending slaughter aura, following the youth's finger falling, all the bronze great swords except the one beneath his feet whistled straight toward the giant-toothed shark.
The next instant, a roar shook the sky.
Big waves rose on the sea surface. The giant-toothed shark let out a miserable hiss. Its body of several hundred zhang was pierced by seven or eight great swords. As blood spilled, it suddenly drilled into the sea and galloped toward the depths.
Wherever it passed, the blood blended into the seawater, and the Foundation Establishment aura contained within it made many sea beasts dare not approach. But one could imagine that if this continued for a long time, it would inevitably attract more ferocious sea beasts.
Xu Qing glanced at it.
At the same time, the First Peak youth in mid-air looked at the sea and snorted coldly.
"The snow-white jade rabbit slips in the sky, the black toad swims in the water."
Saying this, the bronze great sword beneath him roared, expanding even larger, turning into nearly a hundred zhang, and carrying him straight toward the sea, breaking the sea surface and drilling in, chasing toward the fleeing giant-toothed shark.
Xu Qing didn't say a word from beginning to end, nor did he take action to snatch it. He listened calmly to the other party saying messy words and watched him chase into the sea surface, keeping his guard in his heart.
Through the previous action, Xu Qing could feel that the other party was stronger than himself, but not much stronger, and had not reached the level of the Profound Radiance State. At most, he had opened about twenty Dharma Apertures.
If he went all out to fight him to the death, Xu Qing felt he could win, but there was no need to fight like this for a Foundation Establishment sea beast.
So Xu Qing controlled the Dharma Boat and, after sailing for several days, arrived at another area.
This place was between the West Coral Islands and the Eastern Wanggu, a deserted island not far from the place where he encountered the floating vines that day.
This island was not large, and the edge position was concave, forming a natural bay.
There were many deserted islands in the Forbidden Sea. Some existed for a long time, while others were occasionally formed, mostly formed by the emergence of giant beasts from the seabed.
As for this deserted island, Xu Qing had explored it under the sea and determined that it was real, and the sea chart also had an introduction. Because it was barren, no one usually came here.
As for the island, Xu Qing had also explored it and determined there was no danger. He sat cross-legged on the deck in the bay, took out a small bottle from his pocket.
Inside was blue liquid.
This liquid was the blood of the Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab.
The blood of the Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab, after being refined by the yin and yang poles, combined with some herbs, could be refined into an aura that attracted Forbidden Sea ferocious beasts.
What the Mermaid boy used on Xu Qing that day was a similar item.
This was also the method Xu Qing thought of to open Dharma Apertures as quickly as possible. He wanted to attract a large number of sea beasts to slaughter and extract their souls. It was just that this kind of aura was very difficult to control, and there was a high probability that it would attract irresistible beasts.
So it needed to be adjusted, and Xu Qing also had the item for adjustment, which was the ammonite.
Using the medicinal properties of the ammonite to harmonize, the aura refined could be controlled below a certain level. In this way, although it still possessed a certain risk, compared to the harvest, Xu Qing felt he could try it.
"Once stimulated, it will disperse on its own..." Xu Qing sat on the deck and began to refine the blood of the Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab. The whole process lasted for half an hour. When dusk arrived on the horizon in the distance, Xu Qing finally finished refining.
He looked at the ammonite shell that had been refined. Its color had become blue. Now, he only needed a drop of his own blood to stimulate it.
Xu Qing looked up at the sky, pondered, and did not stimulate it immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated.
A night passed without words.
When the next morning arrived, the moment the morning sun rose, as the sunlight fell like wisps of flame, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
He calmly organized his weapons and poison powder, as well as the talisman treasures he had bought, and then suppressed the shadow as usual, before opening the cave dwelling door, looking at the red-lit blue sky and white clouds in the distance, the sunrise like a vast furnace.
"Need to go out to sea to kill sea beasts, obtain their souls, and impact the Dharma Apertures."
Xu Qing stepped out in one step, directly stepping into mid-air. The snake-necked dragon beneath him transformed, roaring toward the sky, its four dragon fins swaying slightly, as if turning the firmament into a vast sea, stimulating astonishing speed, and carrying Xu Qing straight toward the horizon.
"Everything is ready." Xu Qing looked forward with anticipation, bit his fingertip, and dropped a drop of blood onto the blue ammonite in front of him. As the blood fell, the color of the ammonite instantly deepened, rising with wisps of faint scent.
This scent, if one didn't smell it carefully, was hard to detect.
At this moment, as it constantly drifted, Xu Qing looked at the entrance of the sea bay vigilantly, narrowing his eyes while holding the poison-inducing incense in his hand, waiting silently.
Time passed.
Half an hour later, cold light condensed in Xu Qing's eyes. He saw the sea surface in the distance surging with big waves. A giant whale about a hundred zhang in size leaped from there, emitting a harsh sound. When it fell again, the sea rolled, revealing countless fish schools like crocodiles under the sea surface.
This was the Black-Scaled Crocodile, living in the Forbidden Sea, with habits similar to the Black-Scaled Wolf, often living in groups, appearing in numbers of more than a hundred, with cultivation reaching the level of the eighth or ninth layer of Qi Condensation.
And that giant whale was at the Qi Condensation Great Perfection.
Seeing these, Xu Qing's eyes lit up. Continuing to wait, soon the Black-Scaled Crocodile set off sea waves and rushed straight toward the bay where Xu Qing was, and the giant whale also rushed over.
Not long after, the bay roared, and all the Black-Scaled Crocodiles rushed in, slamming toward Xu Qing.
Amidst the roaring, the protection of Xu Qing's Dharma Boat was fully activated, constantly blocking while the giant whale also rushed out and slammed fiercely.
The sound was huge. The protection of Xu Qing's Dharma Boat was tough, and although it swayed violently, it didn't shatter in the slightest, resisting the collisions from all directions.
Like the Forbidden Zone jungle, most of the ferocious beasts in the sea were like body-tempering cultivators, with few magic techniques, often exerting their body advantages to the maximum.
"Only a hundred or so, not enough..." Xu Qing's breathing was slightly rapid. Regardless of the consumption of spirit stones, while supporting the protection, he looked at the sea surface. Soon he saw the direction of the sea surface, and the sea waves rolled again.
Schools of swordfish, much larger than what he had seen before, rushed over from there, leaping in patches, approaching in patches, in such large numbers that there were a full several hundred.
Although most of them were at the third or fifth layer of Qi Condensation, there were also forty-five that reached the eighth or ninth layer of Qi Condensation.
At the moment they rushed into the bay with red eyes, attracted by the aura, cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he threw the poison-inducing incense in his hand directly into the sea.
In an instant, the black seawater became even darker, like thick ink, and the hundreds of poisons contained within it erupted comprehensively at this moment.
Wherever it permeated, every Black-Scaled Crocodile trembled and lost the ability to move. The giant whale struggled but it was of no avail, its body paralyzed by poison and unable to move.
As for those swordfish, it was even more so. The whole process was just the time of an incense stick, and the entire bay calmed down from the violent rolling.
Xu Qing looked forward with anticipation, raised his right hand and grabbed fiercely. Immediately, sea beasts were grabbed by the hand formed of seawater and approached him.
As these sea beasts, which had not been thoroughly poisoned to death, approached, the fire in Xu Qing's Dharma Apertures roared and spread, shrouding them and beginning to burn.
His poison was fierce, but the focus was not slaughter, but making them lose the ability to counterattack.
At this moment, as the black fire burned, wisps of soul were sucked into Xu Qing's body, turning into soul shadows in his dantian, burning vigorously like firewood, and under his control, they headed straight for his third Dharma Aperture.
The next instant, Xu Qing's body shook, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes. His third Dharma Aperture was suddenly opened!
Following the opening, spiritual energy poured into it to form a vortex, and wisps of magic power rose and blended into his whole body, making Xu Qing's magic power a little more.
He didn't stop. The black fire outside his body absorbed beast souls again. Just like that, time passed. Until the sky was completely dark, the fourth Dharma Aperture in Xu Qing's body was opened!
Up to this point, this sea bay had become a dead land. Looking from the surface, there was nothing, but the seabed was already buried with countless beast corpses.
At this moment, Xu Qing's four Dharma Apertures were all operating, and a large amount of magic power was generated and circulated throughout his body, and his aura was much stronger than before.
Especially after his black fire spread into them, the fire in the four Dharma Apertures permeated and reflected in his body, making Xu Qing, who was sitting on the deck, shine with firelight in his body.
Although compared to the Captain's Profound Radiance State, the gap was still huge, but compared to those who had just reached Foundation Establishment, because of Xu Qing's thick foundation, his magic power was now very majestic.
"This speed is still acceptable!" After a long while, Xu Qing opened his eyes, looked around, and continued to make the medicine lead for the Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab. ===== CHAPTER 143 =====
"This speed is acceptable!" After a long while, Xu Qing opened his eyes, looked around, and continued preparing the medicinal primer for the Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab.
