Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the following period of time, more and more disciples from the Three Great Immortal Sects arrived at Xuanxin City.

Usually, Core Disciples were rarely seen.

Now, not to say they were everywhere, but one could run into one every so often.

For instance, on the Dongting Immortal Sect's side, those he knew included Qin Baili, Li Lingbi, and Qiu Hong; the number of Core Disciples he didn't know exceeded a dozen.

The vast majority of them had reached the Golden Core Stage, some even the Golden Core Late Stage.

Xuanxin City, which originally had only a few Survivors, suddenly became lively.

The Three Great Immortal Sects joined forces to repair the surrounding damaged houses, barely making them habitable for rest.

Because they arrived early, they occupied the best aspects of the Jiao Nest District, leaving the Whale Belly District and Shark Spine District for the remaining Immortal Cultivation Sects that would arrive later.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Xu Zhangqing found Han Xin: "I say, Old Han."

Han Xin raised an eyebrow: "Xu Xiaozǐ, you're asking for a beating again, aren't you?"

Xu Zhangqing said helplessly: "Alright, alright... would Senior Sister Han do?"

Han Xin pursed her lips: "That's more like it."

Xu Zhangqing immediately inquired: "You are a powerful Array Master, and your attainments in Feng Shui are even more remarkable.

So, what is the current situation with Xuanxin City?"

Han Xin revealed a proud smile, then said: "Currently, the Feng Shui of the entire Xuanxin City has been thoroughly destroyed, and can no longer be salvaged."

Xu Zhangqing continued to ask: "If, I'm saying if, could there be an even more powerful Array Master who utilizes the terrible Feng Shui to remodel the entire Xuanxin City?"

Han Xin asked back doubtfully: "What do you mean?"

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "I always feel this place isn't quite right, it feels like..."

Han Xin subconsciously pressed: "Like what?"

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "Like it was deliberately left for us."

Han Xin shook her head, denying this guess: "Stop being paranoid, this place is crawling with Core Disciples from the Three Great Immortal Sects; if there really was a problem, they would have discovered it?"

Xu Zhangqing froze for a moment, then nodded lightly: "That's true."

"However..."

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, then continued: "A top-tier Array Master can indeed utilize changes in the Feng Shui layout to create harmful arrays."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow.

"So this is Xuanxin City?"

"Why is it ruins everywhere?"

"As expected, the disciples of the Three Great Immortal Sects have already arrived!"

At this moment, noisy commotion came from outside.

Flying Ships, Flying Shuttles, Flying Boats, and flying Spirit Beasts entered Xuanxin City one after another.

These were the Core Disciples and Formal Disciples of the remaining Immortal Cultivation Sects, aside from the Three Great Immortal Sects.

There were many people, several hundred arriving at once.

Adding the members of the Three Great Immortal Sects, the total was already nearly a thousand.

And in the following period of time, the number would only increase.

After all, many Immortal Cultivation Sects were far from here and needed more time to arrive.

According to Qin Baili's intention, although the Canglan Sea Region's environment was becoming increasingly harsh, it would become a trial ground for the major Immortal Cultivation Sects.

Doing this was mainly to pave the way for the upcoming Thousand Sects Dharma Assembly, giving everyone a chance to make contact and understand in advance.

Xu Zhangqing stood at the window, watching the increasing number of cultivators outside; his heart not only lacked peace, but grew even more uneasy.

Thinking it over, he simply bid farewell to Han Xin, left the resting place, and came once more to the already damaged Zhenjiao Tower.

Directly below was a well imprisoning the Jiao Dragon.

Not a small well, but a very, very large one.

Ink-green, emitting bursts of bone-piercing chill.

However, the reason for coming this time was not to enter and explore, but because he discovered that the surroundings of this well were engraved with a kind of Spiritual Rune.

Complex, ancient.

It felt very similar to the Spiritual Runes in the Zhuan Gu Zhong.

You must know, the Ancestor of Engraving Marks has been dead for over a thousand years; he couldn't possibly crawl out of his coffin to help the Zhao Family suppress the Jiao Dragon.

Therefore, only one possibility remains.

That is, the person who engraved these Spiritual Runes should have obtained the Ancestor's Inheritance.

As for whether it is partial or complete, that is unknown.

Xu Zhangqing was thoughtful: "Just don't know, the Zhao Family of the City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families, exactly how many Yellow Spring Alliance members they have?"

Afterwards, he inscribed this Spiritual Rune in his mind, committing it to memory.

Although unsuited to the current Tianyuan Realm, referencing it is still no problem.

……

……

In the following few days, disciples from all Immortal Cultivation Sects, centered on Xuanxin City, spread out across the entire Canglan Sea Region to hunt and explore.

The leaders were all Golden Core Stage cultivators, each possessing formidable strength.

Xu Zhangqing followed behind Li Lingbi and also gained considerable benefits.

Soon, the group arrived at the Zhuo Liu Dai where they had previously hunted water demons.

Now the entire Canglan Sea Region had turned into evil water, so the situation here was even worse; the number of water demons increased day by day, becoming increasingly dangerous.

Ink-green seawater rolled with dark brown vortices.

The shrill cries of water demons and the roars of sea monsters made this place hair-raising.

A group of wave-chasing shrimp demons hid in the water, intending to ambush Xu Zhangqing and the others, but before they could act, Li Lingbi casually waved his hand and parted the seawater in two.

Instantly, they were all exposed.

At first they were somewhat stunned, but when Chu Qiu brought Han Xin and Xuan Cang charging over, their originally fierce and sinister gazes suddenly turned terrified.

Xu Zhangqing followed behind, feigning to throw several water arrows, regardless of whether they hit, just shoot them out first.

Seeing this paddling behavior, Li Lingbi couldn't help but say: "Junior Brother Xu, although you are a spirit farmer, you still need to exercise; what if you encounter danger someday?"

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Senior Brother is right."

Half an incense stick's time later, everyone gained abundant harvests.

After all, the stronger the water demons and sea monsters, the higher the value of their core parts.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone was about to ride Broken Moon Flowing Frost back.

Suddenly, the ink-green seawater in the distance gradually separated into layers.

The rotation speed of the upper layer vortex suddenly slowed, while the lower layer bulged with one blue-black water bubble after another, as if a giant beast was moving beneath the seabed.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qiu's eyes brightened: "Sea monster, absolutely a sea monster with profound Dao Xing."

Ordinary sea monsters would not cause such a commotion.

They had changed the environment; at least five hundred years or more.

Indeed, not long after, a moving reef stone emerged from the water.

Everyone looked closely and saw it was actually a giant sea turtle with a shell width of twenty zhang.

Xu Zhangqing recognized it: "Ink Crystal Xuan Ao."

Chu Qiu echoed: "Every part of it is a treasure."

Strangely, this sea monster did not have its usual ferocity, but was moving quickly, carving violent wave traces on the sea surface.

It seemed to be... fleeing?

After a while, Xu Zhangqing and the others finally saw clearly; it turned out that this Ink Crystal Xuan Ao's left front limb was already missing, and the hardest part at the center of its shell had even caved in a piece, as if it had encountered a more terrifying existence.

Roar~

Just as everyone was doubtful, a muffled dragon roar exploded from the seabed, followed by a heavy pressure like mountains overturning and seas pouring back.

For a moment, everyone's faces changed greatly!
