Chapter 253: Nascent Soul Flood Dragon, Terrifying Indeed

In the Pot Heaven, beneath Maigu Shan, under the shade of the great locust tree.

"Next month will be your birthday, won't it?"

Su Ping looked at Shanawati gently and said:

"The path of cultivation also requires a balance of work and rest; for instance, your master here, when I am tired, I go to the pleasure quarters to listen to music..."

"Ahem, this is a new Talisman Master course Jade Slip I have brought for you."

"Additionally, you may also study the Talismans in this box to see if they can be strengthened."

After Su Ping finished speaking, he took away the previous wooden box and left behind a new wooden box and an Inheritance Jade Slip.

Inside that new wooden box was a third-tier Spring Breeze Rain Talisman, which can accelerate the production efficiency of crops in the Spirit Field.

This naturally cannot compare to the effects of Abundant Spirit Water, but on one hand, this Talisman has a large enough range, and on the other, it does not require Fishing Coins to exchange.

For Su Ping, who is currently expanding production, it is still quite important.

Then, Su Ping flicked his sleeve.

Shanawati then discovered that the stone table in the small courtyard had suddenly appeared with a great many delicacies.

Shanawati, who was at the age of loving to eat, immediately had her eyes light up.

These delicacies were all delicious dishes personally prepared by famous Grandmasters from the Eastern Ancient Kingdom.

The ingredients were also all top-grade ingredients nourished by Spirit Qi!

Even the seasonings were products from the Cultivation World.

Not to mention the nourishing effects, at the very least, the taste was excellent.

It made Shanawati, who was used to eating Spirit Rice Rice paired with dried Spirit Meat, have her morale soar instantly.

As for Su Ping, after leaving behind the Immortal Crane that previously served as his mount to help with chores,

he also left this mountain peak.

Instead, he took the black dragon Ao Li and returned to the Cultivation World.

…………

In the Cultivation World, on the overseas island where the Nanhuang refugee group was entrenched.

This area, where Spirit Qi was thin and where even mortals rarely appeared in the past,

was now quite lively.

Not only did hundreds of thousands of mortals and Cultivators live on the island,

but the Immortal Boats coming and going in the sky had also reached the triple digits.

The Tall Ships and Fast Ships sailing on the sea numbered in the thousands.

The great arrays of several islands were kept in an activated state at all times.

From time to time, a bolt of lightning would strike out, turning sea monsters that wandered into this safe zone into charcoal.

And in the deep sea,

besides Da Hei, who had also obtained a Demon Core and was patrolling in all directions,

sometimes Xuangui Baxia would also be released by Su Ping to go to locations in the surrounding seas where sea monsters were known to gather to eat some seafood.

Thereby ensuring that the island protected by Xueshen Laozu would not encounter large-scale sea monster attacks.

An Immortal Boat arrived at the island from the Zhenshou Xiancheng near the Western Desert, carrying hundreds of Cultivators and a large amount of precious gifts.

The aristocratic family disciples, who were accustomed to the prosperity of the Immortal City, were naturally quite disdainful of the town on the island in their hearts.

After sensing the thin Spirit Qi in the surroundings, their hearts felt even colder.

They had always felt that that Old Ancestor must have found a place with an overseas Spirit Vein.

That was why he migrated to this overseas land; otherwise, with the strength this Old Ancestor had displayed, there was no reason not to occupy those places with Spirit Veins!

Yet they did not expect that this place was truly a remote and desolate area, and that there were indeed as many mortals as the rumors suggested.

"We are about to arrive at the destination!"

"Everyone, pay attention."

On the deck of the Immortal Boat, the leading Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator stroked his chin whiskers and said with a face full of joy:

"According to what was agreed upon before, after going down, first take the gifts and the gift list to report to the City Lord Mansion."

"Then stay properly in the Inner City District and do not cause trouble."

"Whether it is those low-level Cultivators or those mortals, do not provoke them!"

"This is not an Immortal City; those ancestors of yours cannot save you here!"

"This Xueshen Laozu is notoriously fond of those who do not follow the rules he has set!"

For the last sentence, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator used his Dharma Power to emphasize it.

This also made the aristocratic family disciples on the Immortal Boat tremble in their hearts, and they nodded one after another to signify their compliance.

As the first batch of representatives for the will and interests of their respective families,

they naturally could not be those neglected second-generation heirs.

While their true intentions were unknown, at the very least, they all knew how to conceal and package their superficial efforts.

Otherwise, they would not have had the opportunity to be chosen to ride this Immortal Boat!

"Sigh!"

"So many families want to defect to that Old Ancestor; I wonder how many will succeed in the end."

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator glanced at these Immortal City aristocratic family disciples who were more or less related to him by blood or marriage.

Regarding their future and his own, the more he thought, the more worried he became.

Standing high and looking far, one thinks more, and thus becomes clearer about how narrow the path of survival in the future of the Cultivation World will theoretically be!

Judging others by one's own heart, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator felt that if that path of survival in the future truly existed...

It is estimated that only Cultivators with the aptitude of the heaven-proud seeds of the major sects would have some chance of being chosen and taken away by the other party.

Otherwise, one would have to perform a great service, using great merit to make the other party have to nod in recognition of their achievements, thereby granting a spot for survival...

But no matter how one thinks about it, this kind of merit is not something that people like them could perform, right?

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator was thinking just this.

Suddenly, he felt an immense fluctuation of Dharma Power appear in the distant sea area.

Following that, a roar full of domineering power came from over there.

Many with low cultivation directly felt their legs go weak and knelt on the deck, the majestic figure of Xuangui Baxia appearing in their minds.

"It is the Old Ancestor's spirit pet, the Giant Turtle!"

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator's heart stirred, and he exclaimed aloud.

Afterwards, he swept his Divine Sense and communicated with the other leading figures on the Immortal Boat.

Then he hurriedly steered the Immortal Boat to rush toward the direction of the Xuangui's roar.

There were quite a few Immortal Boats and even Tall Ships that made the same choice as this Immortal City Immortal Boat.

Clearly, these forces that came to seek refuge or befriend that Old Ancestor all hoped to have a chance to express their sincerity.

They were willing to assist in various matters and contribute their strength.

On the sea area outside the island.

Xuangui Baxia, as usual, rushed over to prepare for a meal after sensing the gathering of sea monsters.

At the beginning, the dining process was quite smooth.

Xuangui Baxia is already a Golden Core divine beast, plus it was in the environment of the Dahai.

Once its innate supernatural ability was activated, it opened its big mouth to inhale and bite.

It could eat hundreds or thousands of sea monsters.

As for the Evil Qi on the sea monsters, the Xuangui directly treated it as seasoning in its mouth.

But as it ate, a huge sea snake with red eyes suddenly appeared and directly ambushed Xuangui Baxia.

Although it failed to break the defense and instead made itself dizzy,

it still caused Xuangui Baxia's eating rhythm to be interrupted, arousing its anger.

An eye split open on the forehead of that huge sea snake.

A phantom of Evil God Neil appeared in the eye.

Having operated in this sea area for a long time, He had also cultivated quite a few usable Evil God dependents.

This large sea snake was one of them.

It came this time because, through multiple observations, it had discovered Xuangui Baxia's attack trajectory and habits.

It had laid out a plan targeting this habit.

And for this, it was not just the snake that took action; there were also several other sea monsters that Evil God Neil had put effort into cultivating that came together!

Deep under the sea, a giant octopus with a body size only one circle smaller than Xuangui Baxia began to surface and extended its thick tentacles, wanting to trap the Xuangui.

Beside the sea snake, there was also a one-horned sea monster with a body size no smaller than it, accelerating and rushing over from tens of kilometers away.

As the speed became faster and faster.

This sea monster, which looked like a shark but had a hundred-meter-long silver-white single horn, even began to rotate spirally.

This caused that single horn to also rotate continuously like a drill.

Three great sea monsters besieged Xuangui Baxia.

Speaking of which, it was still a bit risky and a bit impulsive.

It was just that Evil God Neil had to take action in advance and even paid a little extra price for it.

There was no help for it; the battle of the Ten Thousand Mountains had already spread among the circles of the several sons of Evil Gods surrounding the Cultivation World.

Although the specific situation of that great battle was unknown, and it was also unknown that the leader's important Avatar had been sent to the Void and never returned,

the heavy news of the appearance of the Xuangui divine beast could not be hidden.

This also made the other sons of Evil Gods feel tempted and start their own schemes.

Evil God Neil was very clear about this point, so he had to take action in advance to occupy the first move.

Otherwise, as one whose important Avatar was either sealed in the Earth Palace or sealed in the earth veins, he would definitely be the unlucky one at the greatest disadvantage after the full-scale competition began.

Not far away, dozens of Immortal Boats soon saw the sea area where the great battle was taking place.

They saw Xuangui Baxia dragging a giant octopus to the surface of the sea and biting onto a one-horned sea monster.

And then it kept shaking and resisting the sea snake.

This great battle left many Cultivators stunned.

Even those from big places in the Cultivation World like the Immortal City.

Many people had not seen a Golden Core Cultivator a few times in their entire lives.

Let alone such a grand scene of giant beasts not inferior to Golden Core fighting in a melee?

Just as several Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the Immortal Boat were watching the intense battlefield, not knowing how to intervene,

the sound of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky.

Under the violent wind and rain, a long black shadow fell from the nine heavens.

Accompanied by thunder and rainstorms, it directly crashed into the sea snake that was pouncing again.

In an instant, it grabbed the sea snake, which was at least a thousand meters long, into the sky.

And then, first, a mouthful of black flames sprayed out, scorching the opponent.

Then, with a tear of its claws!

It tore this sea snake into two halves in one go!

It was also at this moment that those Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the Immortal Boat finally saw clearly who this visitor was.

"It is that incense divine beast that the Old Ancestor subdued in Nanhuang!"

"Heavens, this incense divine beast is actually this powerful!"

"Am I sensing this correctly, this fluctuation of pressure! This black flood dragon... has it broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Countless people revealed expressions of disbelief and astonishment.

Especially in the eyes of some Cultivators who knew the inside story.

The black flood dragon Ao Li was clearly still a Golden Core Late Stage flood dragon not long ago!

And it was an incense divine beast that was fast to cultivate in the early stages, but became increasingly difficult and prone to cultivation deviation in the later stages!

How did it suddenly go from a Golden Core to a Nascent Soul flood dragon?

And!

That is a five-clawed phantom, right?

Those are dragon scales and dragon horns that only a true dragon possesses, right?

And that Dragon Might within the pressure...

All of it goes to show.

This is a Nascent Soul flood dragon that is only one step away from being a true dragon!

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators silently had the Immortal Boat retreat, widening the distance to prevent accidental injury.

As for helping.

Help with what?

Didn't you see that a Nascent Soul flood dragon has already arrived?

Killing the giant beast opposite is as simple as killing a chicken; is there any need for them to do anything else?
