Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Long Xiyao stared at the parasitic insect, her expression slightly solemn as she said, "I have seen this insect a few times before. When members of the Long Family explored the deep sea, they also encountered water demons and sea monsters controlled by this kind of insect.

Yet I never knew that this was actually a method of the Wu Sheng Chong Mu."

Xu Zhangqing crushed the parasitic insect, then spoke in a loud voice: "Everyone, brace yourselves.

Barring any surprise, we have already arrived near Yaoguang Cave.

Next, we will face the Wu Sheng Chong Mu directly."

As soon as these words fell, many people's faces changed drastically.

When it comes down to it, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu is ultimately one of the strongest in the Tianyuan Realm.

Cultivation, strength, methods — all surpass everyone's imagination.

It is also unknown whether so many people attacking together can exterminate the other party.

The crowd continued forward. Long Xiyao, relying on her familiarity with the sea domain, constantly adjusted their direction, avoiding several hazardous areas where spiritual energy was disordered.

But Yaoguang Cave is hidden extremely deep; even with her guiding the way, its location was still hard to find.

Xu Zhangqing's divine sense surged, like formless thunderclaps, sweeping toward the depths of the deep sea.

The formless divine sense penetrated layer upon layer of seawater, skimmed past countless dark reefs and undercurrents, probing every hidden corner.

A moment later, a flash of sharp light passed through Xu Zhangqing's eyes, and he said in a loud voice: "Found it. The entrance to Yaoguang Cave is located a thousand zhang directly below!"

Finishing his words, he waved a hand. The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron suspended in mid-air, the yellow-brown spiritual light on its body growing ever more blazing, its heavy aura crushing downward.

"Part the sea!"

Xu Zhangqing gave a low shout, condensed mana at his fingertip, and tapped the cauldron body.

In an instant, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron emitted a muffled boom. Countless yellow-brown spiritual lights poured down, like ten thousand mountains smashing fiercely onto the sea surface.

The surging, churning seawater was actually pushed apart to both sides by this vast power, revealing a channel several zhang wide leading straight into the deep sea.

The seawater on both sides of the channel stood as if solidified, not moving a thread.

Someone exclaimed in surprise: "The divine ability 'Parting River, Dividing Water'?"

Someone shook their head: "No, this is not a divine ability, but a great means!"

Someone wondered doubtfully: "Just what cultivation tier has Sect Master Xu reached?!"

"Go!"

Xu Zhangqing couldn't be bothered to explain. He called out a greeting and was the first to leap into the channel.

Seeing this, the crowd hurriedly followed close behind. Long Xiyao brought Qingyao up the rear, pressing at the tail of the formation.

Just as everyone had only just stepped into the channel, countless water demons and sea monsters controlled by parasitic insects surged out once more from the seawater on both sides, and their numbers were even denser than before.

They went mad, each baring fangs and claws, lunging fiercely at the crowd.

However, the moment these water demons and sea monsters neared the range covered by the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron, their bodies burst apart in an instant. They didn't even have a chance to struggle, turning directly into blood water on the spot.

Therefore, they only looked frightening; in reality they posed no threat at all.

However, the closer Xu Zhangqing and the others got to the entrance of Yaoguang Cave, the more water demons and sea monsters controlled by parasitic insects there were. Like moths throwing themselves into fire, they rushed forward one after another to their deaths.

It could be seen that they simply wanted to obstruct the human team's advance.

Fortunately, because the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron was suppressing them, the way was unimpeded all along.

Before long, Xu Zhangqing and the others smoothly reached the end of the channel. Before their eyes was unmistakably the entrance to Yaoguang Cave.

"We really found Yaoguang Cave?"

"Wasn't it said that the Wu Sheng Chong Mu is inside?"

"This moment has ultimately come!"

Everyone's expressions varied, yet not a trace of fear, nor any intention of regret.

Matters have reached this point; everyone is like people on the same boat — once the boat capsizes, they all die.

Looking at the familiar scene, Xu Zhangqing was also very excited. Last time he came, it was with a few Spirit Root Avatars. Now, those beside him are all top experts of Dongyu.

Afterward, everyone followed Xu Zhangqing into Yaoguang Cave. But just as they passed through the blue water curtain at the entrance, they were shocked to their core by the sight inside the cave.

In the past, Yaoguang Cave had lightning weaving across the vast sky, thunder slurry churning.

Now, the lightning inside the cave has long since disappeared. The thunder domain originally used to suppress the demonic insects leaves only rock walls glowing with a faint purple halo, no longer possessing the deterrent power of old.

Replacing it are dense, sky-covering demonic insects. They are like a tide of ink-black water, filling every corner of the cave.

These demonic insects vary in size. Some are as slender as a thumb, some as large as a fist. They crawl over the rock walls and ground on both sides of the stone passage.

The black viscous fluid they secrete drips onto the rocks, immediately emitting a "sizzle" sound, corroding out small holes one by one.

These insects have flat heads, no antennae, turbid white eyeballs without pupils. Their serrated mouthparts open and close with a grating "click-click" sound. Eight pairs of legs bearing barbs make a constant "rustle" as they crawl.

Fortunately, for Xu Zhangqing and the others, they do not count as a threat at all.

No matter how many there are, insects are ultimately just insects.

Just like this, the group continued deep for several li. However, the scene before their eyes grew increasingly strange.

From cracks in the ground, large amounts of black viscous fluid welled up. Countless demonic insects shuttled within it.

Besides that, there were also quite a few insect cultivators dressed in black robes with pale complexions.

Each held an insect banner, scattered throughout the cave. They were clearly followers of the Wu Sheng Chong Mu.

"Attack!"

Xu Zhangqing gave a low shout, taking the lead to summon the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron. Spiritual light on the cauldron body surged, and a law power originating from the source of the earth spread outward.

Those approaching demonic insects were instantly torn apart by the power of laws, their bodies collapsing inch by inch.

The spirit insect cultivators desperately activated their insect banners, attempting to resist, yet were forcibly dissolved by the power of laws, and in the end even their divine souls were sucked away by the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron.

The rest of the people, one after another, sacrificed their magic tools and magic treasures, activating the laws or dao rhymes they themselves grasped.

For a time, the demonic insects' wailing cries, the spirit insect cultivators' miserable screams, and the rumbling sounds of magic tools colliding intertwined together, echoing throughout the entire Yaoguang Cave.

Long Xiyao held a Yuese Common in hand, the sword blade wreathed in clear light; with every sword strike that fell, it could tear apart large swaths of demonic insects, and even the eerie qi in the air was purified.

Qingyao sacrificed a jade flute; the flute sound guided sound waves, and wherever they passed, demonic insects fell to the ground one after another, without the slightest power to resist.

Everyone united their hearts and cooperated, on one side slaying demonic insects, on the other side clearing out spirit insect cultivators.

Even if spirit insect cultivators summoned more demonic insects, they ultimately could not withstand the joint efforts of the numerous experts, let alone block the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron's law suppression.

Before long, the demonic insects and spirit insect cultivators inside the cave were cleaned up completely; the ground was covered with demonic insect corpses and spirit insect cultivator remains.

Black mucus mixed together with blood water, emitting a pungent stench.

Xu Zhangqing led everyone to continue deeper, step by step approaching the Core Area.

And the further inside they went, the thicker the strange qi became, even making people's hearts and minds uneasy.

"Hiss!"

"What is that?"

"Such thick Water Spirit Qi!"

Just as everyone finally arrived at the Yaoguang Cave Core Area, the scene before their eyes made every single person suck in a breath of cold air.

The former Floating Thunder Domain had disappeared, replaced by a stretch of turbid black water curtain; within the water curtain, the Xuan River's water churned and surged, flowing ceaselessly, emitting a surging imposing pressure.

And in the center of the water curtain, a colossal figure was soaked within — it was precisely the Wu Sheng Chong Mu!
