Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing didn't stop along the way; after descending the mountain he summoned Broken Moon Flowing Frost and flew toward Hongfeng Valley.

On the road, recalling what Ji Mingxuan had just said, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"In the Spirit Field, Ji Mingxuan is only familiar with me and Rong Yan."

"Rong Yan doesn't lack spirit stones; he probably isn't interested in the Secret Realm."

"Seeking me out, perhaps he feels more familiar, easier to cooperate with."

"But at this critical juncture, it feels a bit……"

"Anyway, I absolutely will not leave the Immortal Sect this year!"

In the following days, everything returned to calm.

Besides eating meals, refining pills, refining artifacts, and drawing talismans, Xu Zhangqing kept studying the Covering Sea Seal.

Benefiting from the effects brought by the Jiao Dragon Transformation, plus having already learned the Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique.

Therefore, this spell advanced one step per day.

By the seventh day, it finally appeared on the Attribute Panel.

Covering Sea Seal: First Layer

Effect 1: Draw water within three zhang around the body to gather in the palm, condense into a zhang-sized water ball

Whether to consume 20 years of lifespan to raise Covering Sea Seal to Sixth Layer?

"Yes."

A mere twenty years, to Xu Zhangqing, is a drop in the bucket.

In a few days, once the spiritual plants in the Personal Space are harvested, several hundred years will be obtained immediately.

Instantly, the profound and mysterious state appeared again, but this time it didn't last long.

He had already learned the matching Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique, equivalent to having a foundation.

Therefore, not long after, the upgrade concluded smoothly.

Remaining Lifespan: 1991 years

Covering Sea Seal: Sixth Layer

Effect 1: Draw water within ten zhang around the body to gather in the palm, condense into a zhang-sized water ball

Effect 2: The water ball rotates at high speed; upon hitting the target it explodes into a five-zhang radius of water spray

Effect 3: Draw water within a hundred zhang to form a water wall; the water wall carries a pressure of ten thousand catties

Effect 4: Infuse coldness into the water wall, rapidly condense ice spikes; whatever touches them freezes instantly

Effect 5: Draw water within several hundred zhang to form a ring-shaped water curtain, absorb and reflect damage

Effect 6: Gather water within a thousand zhang to transform into a giant hand seal, carrying the might of covering the sea, causing damage that cracks stone, severs mountains, and destroys cities

After reading all the effects, Xu Zhangqing's eyes went straight.

Good fellow, no wonder the Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique and Covering Sea Seal are a matched set.

Turns out they complement each other in power and effects, and must be combined.

Once one is missing the full power cannot be exerted; they can only degenerate into ordinary cultivation methods and spells.

Right now, Xu Zhangqing believes that in water, relying on the Jiao Dragon Transformation plus the effects brought by the Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique and Covering Sea Seal, he could even forcibly withstand a Golden Core Late Stage big shot.

Must say, Ruo Qunshuang truly brought him a heaven-shaking surprise.

With this effect, not to mention providing twenty years of resources, even a hundred years would be fine.

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing flashed and teleported into his Personal Space.

He raised a hand; the surrounding Earth Qi rapidly gathered, transforming into a cubic giant stone ten zhang long, wide, and high.

Immediately after, he circulated the Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique, mobilized the mana in his Golden Core; all liquids around — water, water spiritual energy, polluted spirit water — were all drawn.

At a speed the naked eye couldn't capture, they formed a giant water ball before him.

With continuous compression, the water ball grew smaller and smaller, until finally only a chi in size.

However, the water spiritual energy contained inside grew increasingly dense.

Abruptly, it spun clockwise rapidly, faster and faster.

Initially it was very stable; by the end it wobbled more and more, twitched more and more.

Seeing it was about to fail, Xu Zhangqing let go and flung it toward the giant stone.

The moment of contact, a "Boom" actually rang out, like a thunderclap explosion.

The cubic giant stone ten zhang long, wide, and high instantly turned to fine powder and vanished just like that.

Xu Zhangqing hissed, sucking in a breath of cold air.

You have to know, this is merely the stacked effect of Covering Sea Seal's 1st and 2nd layers.

Yet this move's power is extremely strong; I'm afraid even a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator couldn't endure it — if not dead, then half-crippled.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing mobilized the mana in his Golden Core again, forming more water into a water wall before him; this time he didn't attack anything, just let it fall to the ground and move laterally, or rather push flat.

No explosion, no excessive movement.

However, where the water wall passed, the originally uneven ground not only was leveled smooth but also hollowed out the soil, causing the ground to collapse and form zhang-deep pits.

You have to know, this was merely a small-scale casting; if he truly drew water within several hundred zhang, no matter what liquid, as long as it could gather, the damage caused would not stop at this.

Xu Zhangqing saw it in his eyes, raised his hand and struck out a stream of mana.

The moment it fused into the water wall, it immediately transformed into intense coldness that spread out.

Ice spikes extended from the water one after another, quickly becoming dense.

The bone-chilling cold caused the water wall to emit white vapor, the air and ground both frozen hard.

As he continued moving laterally, the ice spikes were like hard awls, taking turns embedding into the soil, then slicing the ground into a ruined mess, even pitted and uneven.

Reaching this step, Xu Zhangqing instead stopped, not testing Effect 5 and 6.

One reason was that the Personal Space was not large enough.

The other was that the power was too terrifying.

If he continued, he felt the surrounding Lingti and various things would all be affected, and might even be directly destroyed.

Better to save it for later to find an opportunity, or find some unlucky bastard.

……

……

Time flashed by, and just like that it arrived at year-end.

The Fourth Quarter Ling Tian Periphery Assessment had already passed, after which Xu Zhangqing didn't have to go anymore.

First Quarter thirteen people.

Second Quarter counting Miao Huayu sixteen people.

Third Quarter numbers dropped, only twelve people.

Fourth Quarter one less, Successfully Promoted eleven people.

Four quarters added together, fifty-two people Promoted in total.

You should know, previously having five people succeed per quarter was already not bad.

Yet under Xu Zhangqing's leadership, the number stubbornly doubled, even reaching triple at one point, continuously breaking records left by others and himself Many times.

This result regardless of Steward or He Zhu, even the worldly-unconcerned Si Geng were very Satisfied, counting as handing in a perfect answer sheet.

Watching the New Year approach again, Lao Zhao finally returned.

Right, Lao Zhao finally deigned to return.

Originally Thought this guy would stay in Xuanxin City for the New Year, looks like he couldn't hold out.

Alone and solitary he rode the Giant Flying Sword, silently Returning to Dongting Immortal Sect.

If not for Hu Bugui running into him by chance at the River bank, everyone would have thought this guy was still Outside.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing invited Lao Hu, Lao Zhao, and Li Sancai, everyone together went to the Flower Sea side's Xin Ji Shi, to see if there was anything new.

While procuring Resources, conveniently buy some New Year goods.

After All, every New Year everyone does this, already formed a habit.

Not Long After, Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Li Sancai arrived at Hongfeng Valley.

Upon meeting, Xu Zhangqing used a Scrutinizing Gaze to size up Lao Zhao top to bottom: "Stayed in Canglan Sea Region that long, finally willing to come back?"

Zhao Ziyue smiled awkwardly: "Well it's almost New Year."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "The fish?"

Zhao Ziyue's smile froze on his face, he stammered: "Fish... too many... I... I released them!"
