Chapter 396: Heaven and Earth Strange Gu, Golden Cicada Gu, Obtaining the Sixth-Rank Soaring Dragon

On the other hand, Yinlang Island.

This place is the main base of the Yinlang Clan, where many Integration Great Powers and even Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators reside.

Their strength is not the slightest bit inferior to the Blood Moon Clan.

They also possess over twenty Great Vehicle Realm Loose Immortals.

They have carved out a formidable reputation in this sea area.

"News has come from the Blood Moon Clan, saying that our Yinlang Clan killed Xue Wanyan, so they intend to go to war with our Yinlang Clan," an Integration Great Power of the Yinlang Clan spoke up, stating the news they had received.

"That brat Xue Wanyan is dead? That is truly wonderful."

"This fellow has killed quite a few of our Yinlang Clan's fine children during this time; has it finally died now?"

"We did indeed join forces to ambush Xue Wanyan previously."

"But that fellow has remarkable skills in fleeing for its life, and it still managed to escape."

"I didn't expect it to be dead now; who on earth killed it?"

Many Yinlang Clan Integration Great Powers discussed it one after another.

Every one of them felt incomparable joy.

After all, Xue Wanyan was a Great Vehicle seed of the Blood Moon Clan; the death of such a peerless prodigy is a joyous event worth celebrating for the Yinlang Clan, equivalent to severely damaging the Blood Moon Clan.

"In other words, Xue Wanyan did not die at the hands of our Yinlang Clan; could it be that our Yinlang Clan is being made a scapegoat?"

A Yinlang Clan Cultivator frowned.

"If we're a scapegoat, then we're a scapegoat, what's the big deal? Anyway, we and the Blood Moon Clan are already sworn enemies; once you have many lice, you don't fear the itch. Have we been made scapegoats any less?"

Another Yinlang Clan Cultivator said indifferently.

"That's right, and it was indeed our Yinlang Clan that took action to severely injure that brat; no matter what, we cannot escape responsibility for this matter."

"That is indeed the case. That brat might have died under the natural disasters of the Shattered Star Sea, or perhaps at the hands of some Cultivator in the Shattered Star Sea who wanted to kill and seize treasures, but if we hadn't taken action to severely injure it, how could it have died?"

"Exactly, exactly. Even if it didn't end up dying at our hands, it was still indirectly caused by us."

"Regardless of whether this happened or not, we and the Blood Moon Clan will inevitably go to war."

"Exactly, exactly. The speed at which the Blood Moon Clan has been developing during this time is truly too fast, giving birth to more and more Integration Great Powers, and even Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators. If this continues, they will certainly surpass us Yinlang, so we must strike first to gain the advantage and nip the Blood Moon Clan's potential in the bud."

"Otherwise, if we really wait until the Blood Moon Clan's strength surpasses ours, it will be too late."

"This battle must interrupt the Blood Moon Clan's tens of thousands of years of development and win time for our Yinlang Clan's development."

Many Yinlang Clan Integration Great Powers discussed it one after another, their bodies permeated with terrifying killing intent.

They naturally knew that they were being made scapegoats.

But this was completely irrelevant.

In any case, both sides are already sworn enemies; even if it weren't because of this matter, a war would break out because of other things.

The reason for the two clans going to war is not just this.

It is purely because the other side threatens them, or hinders them.

The matter of Xue Wanyan is merely a fuse.

In short, because of this matter, the two clans immediately engaged in an unprecedented war.

Vaguely, the Luck Gu on Zhou Sui's body rolled constantly, seeming to merge into the depths of the Void, disturbing countless causes and effects, and guiding all matters in a direction favorable to Zhou Sui.

Unknowingly, it seemed that Zhou Sui was placed outside of cause and effect, hidden in the invisible, avoiding many calamities and dissipating the calamities into the invisible; of course, this also consumed quite a bit of Luck.

But for the vast Luck on Zhou Sui's body, this was merely a drop in the bucket.

…………

Several days later.

Fengxi Island, Fengxi City, Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.

After several days, Zhou Sui finally finished organizing the memories obtained from Xue Wanyan and other Blood Moon Clan Cultivators.

Without a doubt, this is a piece of intelligence of immense value.

To him, the value of this intelligence is no less than a Mysterious Heaven Treasure.

Originally, he was completely confused about the Shattered Star Sea, as if covered by fog, not knowing where he was.

Nor did he know where he should go.

If he were not careful, he might also anger the super clans of this sea area, thereby inviting a massive calamity.

But with the memories from Xue Wanyan and other Blood Moon Clan Cultivators, it was simply like finding a guiding light in the Darkness, and the benefits obtained from it can be imagined.

It is simply not something that so-called treasures can compare to.

"Husband, do you mean that the sea area we are in is called the Kunpeng Sea Area?"

Bai Sujie looked at Zhou Sui curiously.

She also knew at this moment that her husband had obtained the memories of those Alien Cultivators and learned much intelligence about this sea area, so now she was also very curious about where exactly they were.

Beside her, Hua Siqing, Tao Qili, Shi Yuxi, and others also looked at Zhou Sui curiously.

"That's right."

"The Shattered Star Sea is just the name for this endless ocean in the Spirit World."

"But this ocean is truly too big, too big; it can be called boundless."

"For the convenience of the various races' understanding, the many races staying in the Shattered Star Sea have divided the Shattered Star Sea into various regions and sea areas."

"As for how these sea areas are divided, that is even simpler."

"Basically, a place ruled by a True Spirit is called such-and-such a sea area."

"For example, the place where we are is the sea area ruled by the True Spirit Kunpeng, so it is called the Kunpeng Sea Area."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice, stating the many pieces of intelligence he knew one by one.

"True Spirit Kunpeng?!"

"Is the sea area we are in governed by the Kunpeng?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Siqing's pupils constricted.

She had long known that the Shattered Star Sea was incredibly dangerous, a place where True Spirits gathered and the strong were as numerous as clouds.

But she had not expected that Fengxi Island was located in a sea area governed by the Kunpeng.

In other words, they had long been situated within territory ruled by a True Spirit.

"That is correct."

"However, you do not need to worry about anything."

"So, the place we are in is the Kunpeng Sea Area, and it is indeed governed by the Kunpeng."

"But because this sea area is truly vast, far too vast."

"At least ninety percent of it is lawless territory, not included within their direct jurisdiction."

"It is said that the central region of this sea area is precisely where the True Spirit Kunpeng resides."

"And the vassal races of the Kunpeng are also surrounded throughout various places in the central region, like stars arching around the moon."

"As for other places, they simply cannot be bothered to pay them any mind."

"The place where our Fengxi Island is located is on the edge of the Kunpeng Sea Area, belonging to a very remote area."

"That is why we rarely encounter the many super races of the Kunpeng Sea Area."

Zhou Sui explained.

"So that is how it is."

Bai Sujie and the others all nodded; no wonder they had spent a hundred years in this sea area and basically had not encountered other races—it turned out it was because the place they were in was simply too desolate to be noticed by other races at all.

"In other words, is it a True Spirit Race that governs this sea area?"

Tao Qili said in a deep voice.

"That is correct; the one governing this sea area is the Tianpeng Clan."

"Their object of worship is the True Spirit Kunpeng."

"As for the Blood Moon Race, the Silver Wolf Clan, and so on, they are all vassal races of the Tianpeng Clan."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment and immediately obtained the relevant intelligence from the memories of those Blood Moon Race Cultivators.

Without a doubt, the Tianpeng Clan was the absolute hegemon of this sea area, ruling over who knows how many islands and how many sea areas.

The so-called True Spirit Race actually refers to those whose object of worship is a True Spirit.

After all, the number of True Spirits is scarce; it is impossible for them to form a race on their own.

But they also need the help of others, so they become the object of worship for some races.

To a certain extent, these races are actually a massive force controlled by the True Spirit.

And those races also flock to them.

After all, if they can obtain the protection of a True Spirit, their strength and status will receive a geometric increase.

Who knows how many races want to worship a True Spirit, only to not be looked upon by the True Spirit.

The Tianpeng Clan is the same.

They gained the favor of the True Spirit Kunpeng, thereby obtaining the opportunity to worship the Kunpeng.

Therefore, their strength is extremely powerful; it is said that the clan has nurtured over a hundred Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators.

They are a large cut stronger than other races.

"What are vassal races?"

Shi Yuxi asked curiously.

"The so-called vassal races are actually the races that pay tribute to the Tianpeng Clan."

"Equivalent to the servants of servants."

"Although the Tianpeng Clan is indeed powerful, their numbers are scarce, and the Kunpeng Sea Area is boundless."

"Even if they worked themselves to death, it would be impossible to occupy all the islands."

"Being able to occupy a small portion of the islands is already quite good."

"So naturally, they also need vassal races to help."

"These vassal races need to help the Tianpeng Clan do things every year, collecting various Treasures and materials."

"At the same time, they also need to pay a certain level of taxes."

"In exchange, the Tianpeng Clan also allows them to reside within the Kunpeng Sea Area, control Eighth-tier Islands, and provides a certain level of protection."

"And these vassal races are naturally overjoyed; after all, obtaining the protection of a True Spirit Race means their safety will also receive a huge guarantee, and they do not need to worry about being wiped out by other True Spirit Races."

Zhou Sui briefly explained the concept of vassal races.

"So that's it, they are the servants of servants."

"Although the Tianpeng Clan are the servants of the True Spirit Kunpeng, the many vassal races are in turn the servants of the Tianpeng Clan."

Shi Yuxi suddenly realized, and she understood the concept of vassal races immediately.

This was simply a massive racial system, intertwined like roots, taking hold in this sea area, thereby forming a dense web of relationships.

"If this is the case, can we survive in the Kunpeng Sea Area?"

"Do we need to become vassals of the Tianpeng Clan to survive in this sea area?"

Tao Qili couldn't help but ask.

She felt that if this were the system, it would be quite disadvantageous for the Human Race.

Once discovered by the races of this sea area, the Human Race would likely be in imminent danger.

"As for that, the Tianpeng Clan has extremely high standards; they would not take a fancy to the Human Race."

"At the very least, one must have a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator within the race to be qualified to become their vassal race."

"If there isn't even a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator, in their eyes, this is simply an existence like mud on the ground."

"Basically, there wouldn't even be the qualifications to become a vassal race."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

"This!"

Hearing these words, the three women Bai Sujie, Shi Yuxi, and Tao Qili blinked their eyes.

They originally weren't willing to become someone else's vassal race and be enslaved by others.

Who knew that now, their Human Race wouldn't even be looked upon by the other party.

Even to become a vassal race, there are conditions; one must give birth to a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator.

The problem is, other than the Human Emperor, the Human Race has no second Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator.

That is to say, they also don't have the qualifications to become a vassal race of the Tianpeng Clan.

"If this is the case, what should those races that don't have a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator within their clan do?"

"Can they still survive in the Kunpeng Sea Area?"

Tao Qili frowned.

"As for that, since the Kunpeng Sea Area is very large, there are countless islands."

"Many weak races can still live on these islands."

"After all, the Tianpeng Clan is also too lazy to care about so much."

"It is just that if one wants to obtain an Eight-Tier island in the Kunpeng Sea Area, then one must apply to the Tianpeng Clan."

"Otherwise, it will be regarded as rebelling against the Tianpeng Clan."

"Once discovered, one will be attacked by the Tianpeng Clan."

Zhou Sui explained.

"So that's how it is."

Tao Qili instantly understood Zhou Sui's meaning.

Clearly, to the Tianpeng Clan, only Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators are worth valuing.

As long as they control the Eight-Tier islands and monopolize the path to ascending to the Great Vehicle Realm, then no matter how many tens of thousands of years pass, the Tianpeng Clan will always remain high above.

So what if those weak races give birth to a large number of Refining Void or Integration Stage cultivators?

Compared to a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator, that is just trash.

As long as the Tianpeng Clan is willing, they can dispatch a Great Vehicle at will to instantly annihilate these races.

Without the slightest effort.

"That is to say, as long as a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator is not born within the clan and one does not go looking for an Eight-Tier island, then there is no need to become a vassal race of the Tianpeng Clan."

"At the same time, one can also live peacefully in this sea area."

Bai Sujie was very happy.

This means that their Human Race appearing here will not be targeted by the Tianpeng Clan.

It can be said that this is also a good thing.

"That is indeed the case."

"But even if one is not targeted by the Tianpeng Clan, wanting to survive in this sea area is not such a simple matter."

"Because in the Deep Sea, many powerful Wild Beasts are bred."

"These Wild Beasts will attack major islands at every turn."

"The more living beings there are on an island, the more Wild Beasts it will attract."

"If there is no absolute strength, sooner or later one will be annihilated in this vast sea."

"Dying without a burial place."

"Why are those powerful races willing to become vassal races of the Tianpeng Clan?"

"It is precisely because after obtaining the protection of the Tianpeng Clan, they can obtain the protection of the True Spirit Kunpeng, and many Wild Beasts dare not easily attack the islands where these vassal races are located; only in this way can they safely survive in the Shattered Star Sea."

"Of course, even without the attacks of Wild Beasts, various weak races will kill each other in order to compete for resources, and at every turn, they will wipe out entire families and slaughter an entire race."

"Only by constantly improving one's strength can one gain a foothold in the Shattered Star Sea."

Zhou Sui's expression was very serious.

If one could really survive simply in the Shattered Star Sea, there wouldn't be so many races in the Spirit World that change color at the mention of the Shattered Star Sea; it is precisely because it is full of dangers and crises that many races dare not easily enter the Shattered Star Sea.

"Even if one really becomes a vassal race of the Tianpeng Clan, it might not be stable, right?"

"According to what my husband said before, the Blood Moon Clan and the Silver Wolf Clan also seem to be vassal races."

"But they are mortal enemies."

"Even if they go to war with each other, it seems the Tianpeng Clan has no intention of interfering."

Hua Siqing noticed this point; even if one has become a vassal race, it is not necessarily completely stable.

The infighting and struggles of these vassal races seem to be even more intense.

If it were not so, they would not secretly launch sneak attacks and kill the geniuses of various races.

It can be said that the struggle between races has already entered a white-hot state.

"As for that, that is indeed the case."

"Even if one becomes a vassal race of the Tianpeng Clan, one will not obtain their absolute protection."

"At most, they allow you to occupy an Eight-Tier island to avoid attacks from Wild Beasts in the depths of the sea."

"As for the battles between vassal races, they will not care."

"Because according to their point of view, only the strong can survive in this sea area."

"As for the weak, they have no qualifications to survive, and naturally, they cannot become their vassal race."

"Therefore, even if these vassal races go to war with each other and both sides suffer, the Tianpeng Clan will not care."

"At most, if the matter truly blows up and affects the Tianpeng Clan's profits, they will then step in to mediate."

Zhou Sui nodded.

It is precisely because of such a loose environment that even among the many vassal races, there is constant friction.

In order to compete for more islands and more cultivation resources, they also go to war from time to time.

Secret friction appears one after another.

Perhaps the intense wars between vassal races are exactly what the Tianpeng Clan wants.

After all, as long as the vassal races consume each other's strength, they can never threaten the Tianpeng Clan.

Even for the sake of the Tianpeng Clan's rule, they will occasionally sow discord and intensify the conflicts between the two sides.

In short, the cruelty and intensity of this sea area are simply beyond imagination.

"Since that is the case, regarding the new Seven-Tier Array you mentioned last time—the Five Elements Xumi Mist Array—I have discussed it with many Refining Void Old Ancestors, and we feel this plan is feasible."

"If we can truly build a Seven-Tier Defense Array on Fengxi Island, then we can conceal the movements of our Fengxi Island and defend against enemy attacks to the greatest extent."

"Therefore, the major Refining Void Families are also contributing their strength and money, intending to build this Seven-Tier Array with all their might."

Tao Qili said in a deep voice.

To tell the truth, initially, the many Refining Void Old Ancestors in Fengxi City were more or less reluctant about this plan.

After all, building a Seven-Tier Array consumes far too many resources.

This would also make their already not-so-wealthy lives even worse.

But this attack by the Blood Moon Race's Integration Great Power made them completely wake up, and they no longer dared to take it lightly.

Nor did they dare to harbor any wishful thinking.

This is the Shattered Star Sea, a sea where the strong are as numerous as clouds.

If one does not try every possible way to protect oneself, then sooner or later one will fall here.

Although the construction of a Seven-Tier Array will consume a large amount of resources, at least it can shelter everyone.

After experiencing this incident, they also made up their minds completely.

In order not to live in fear in the future, even if it means losing their family fortunes, everyone is willing.

"Not bad."

"But listening to what you mean, it seems there are still many difficulties."

"Is it a lack of sufficient resources?"

Zhou Sui raised his eyebrows; he could hear the subtext in Tao Qili's words. Although the many Refining Void Old Ancestors of Fengxi City agreed to this matter, whether it could succeed was still uncertain.

"That's right, it is indeed so; we lack the corresponding resources."

"Although our Fengxi City has accumulated a thousand years of resources and, backed by the Leiming Mountain Range, has hunted many Wild Beasts, we can be considered wealthy and have accumulated quite a bit of fortune."

"But even so, we are still missing many of the materials for building the Seven-Tier Array."

"After all, over these years, we have also consumed quite a few cultivation resources."

"For example, the most important materials for the Five Elements Xumi Mist Array, the Wuxing Stone and the Xumi Stone, we do not have much of."

"Previously, we did not store these materials of astonishing value."

Tao Qili said helplessly.

She also wanted to finish building the Five Elements Mist Array as soon as possible.

If that were the case, Fengxi Island would be absolutely safe.

The entire island would be shrouded in mist, and outsiders would be unable to enter.

And the benefits are not just that.

If Fengxi Island is completely controlled, then on this island with a diameter of two million kilometers, the Human Race can expand unscrupulously and build cities all over the island.

In this way, the population pressure of Fengxi City can be relieved.

At the very least, for the next few thousand years, Fengxi Island can still meet the population growth needs of the Human Race.

After all, such a massive island can still accommodate a large population.

The problem is that there is still a great shortage of these Seven-Tier Array materials.

If there are no such array materials, I am afraid it will be impossible to build the array successfully.

"So that's it, is it just a lack of Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone?"

"This is just a small matter; leave it to me to solve."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

He felt that this was not a problem at all.

It is just a lack of two types of materials; it is simply within reach and not a difficult task.

"Leave it to you to solve? Could it be that you have Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone on you?"

Tao Qili looked at Zhou Sui curiously.

Others were also amazed; after all, Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone are not mineral resources that are easy to find.

Even in the Human Imperial City, these are quite precious strategic resources.

"I do not."

"But that does not matter."

"You must know that this is the Shattered Star Sea, a sea area with incomparably rich resources."

"If you want any Treasure, just go and buy it."

Zhou Sui said straightforwardly.

"So that's it, do you intend to head to other islands in the Kunpeng Sea Area?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Qili and the others instantly understood the meaning behind Zhou Sui's words.

For ordinary Cultivators, the Indefinite Wind and the many gale winds of the Kunpeng Sea Area are extremely dangerous.

They are enough to destroy the lives of many Cultivators.

However, after reaching the Refining Void Realm, one can actually easily withstand these natural disasters.

It is entirely possible to travel within this sea area.

As long as one does not encounter a Great Ability of the Integration Realm, there is actually no great danger.

After all, even in the Shattered Star Sea, it is not such an easy matter to encounter an Integration Great Power.

The number of powerhouses at this level is actually quite rare.

"The Shattered Star Sea is so dangerous, I naturally will not go there in my true body."

"I have also cultivated the Body-external Incarnation technique; letting a clone handle it will suffice."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

Moreover, he could also wield the power of the Object Seeking Gu to help him find large quantities of Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone.

Especially Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone without owners.

In this way, he could also save a large amount of wealth.

After all, as a Refining Void Cultivator, daily cultivation still requires the consumption of vast resources.

If something can be obtained for free, then naturally one should take it for free.

Another day passed.

Zhou Sui finally finished taking inventory of the treasures on the bodies of the Blood Moon Race Cultivators from this time.

It must be said, the harvest this time was indeed quite bountiful.

Especially the treasures on the body of the Blood Moon Race Integration Great Power, Xue Wanyan, which made him overjoyed.

"Five thousand Immortal Crystals; this Xue Wanyan is truly quite wealthy, worthy of being an Integration Great Power."

Zhou Sui clicked his tongue in admiration.

To tell the truth, even an Integration Great Power might not necessarily possess many Immortal Crystals.

After all, as Cultivators, where could one store Immortal Crystals? Basically, everyone is a "moonlight clan" (living paycheck to paycheck).

Whenever they have a bit of wealth, they exchange it for all kinds of materials and Pills to increase their cultivation.

Therefore, the five thousand Immortal Crystals on Xue Wanyan were already a massive fortune.

It is not just because he is an Integration Great Power; this guy's status and position within the Blood Moon Race are also not simple, which is why he carried so much wealth.

If one adds the three thousand Immortal Crystals obtained earlier, he now possesses a total of eight thousand Immortal Crystals.

This is already an incredible fortune.

"The Supreme Heaven-Piercing Treasure, Blood Flame Halberd, can also be considered a decent offensive Treasure."

Zhou Sui also thoroughly refined the natal Treasure on Xue Wanyan's body and made it his own.

If this Supreme Heaven-Piercing Treasure were to be sold, it would likely be worth a high price.

Even if not sold, using it himself, this is also a quite formidable offensive Treasure.

Once unleashed, it contains earth-shattering power.

If it weren't for the fact that he could perfectly exert the power of the Seven-Tier Array earlier, he might truly not have been able to withstand the might of the Blood Flame Halberd.

"Oh, there is actually a Sixth-Grade High-Grade Pill, Tenglong Pill."

"Consuming one such Pill can increase a Refining Void Cultivator's cultivation by at least three hundred years."

"Now there are actually three of them."

Zhou Sui widened his eyes, feeling very excited.

He also found one of the Pill bottles, inside which appeared golden Pills; on them seemed to emerge the shape of a dragon, radiating golden precious light and forming streaks of Danyun.

At the same time, they released a rich Pill aura, fragrant and pungent.

This kind of Sixth-Grade Pill is refined primarily using the Sixth-Rank Spirit Medicine Zhilong Fruit and Tengyun Glue.

It is worth a high price.

Even among the Human Race of the past, it was not such an easy matter to obtain a Tenglong Pill.

Whenever one appeared, it would be frantically auctioned by countless Refining Void Cultivators.

After all, consuming one can save three hundred years of bitter cultivation, equivalent to increasing one's lifespan.

One can use a large amount of time elsewhere, without needing to stay in a Cave Abode, cultivating bitterly day and night to improve one's cultivation.

Without a doubt, these three Sixth-Grade Pills can greatly save him time on bitter cultivation.

"However, it is a pity that I did not find any Seventh-Grade Pills."

"It seems that even with Xue Wanyan's status, it is not such an easy matter to obtain a Seventh-Grade Pill."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, feeling a slight sense of regret.

But soon this feeling of regret completely vanished; after all, after advancing to the Integration Realm, Pills suitable for Integration Stage Cultivators are becoming fewer and fewer, which can be described as few and far between.

It is precisely because of this that if Integration Stage Cultivators want to increase their cultivation, they basically rely on their own bitter cultivation.

To be like low-rank Cultivators, rapidly increasing cultivation through consuming Pills, that is simply wishful thinking.

After all, the Spirit Medicines suitable for refining Seventh-Grade Pills are also becoming increasingly rare.

Even for a super race, it is a very difficult matter to find Seven-Tier Spiritual Medicine.

Of course, there are slightly more Sixth-Grade Pills, but not by much.

Therefore, up until now, a large number of Refining Void Cultivators can only rely on their own bitter cultivation to improve their cultivation.

If a large number of Sixth-Grade Pills were truly born and could be consumed without limit, I fear the number of Integration Stage Cultivators in the Spirit World would not be just this few, but that is also an impossible thing.

The shortage of many cultivation resources in the Spirit World also limits the probability of high-rank Cultivators being born.

"No way, is this for real? It's actually Spring Water of Returning Yang?!"

Zhou Sui's pupils constricted.

He saw some Spirit Liquid contained within one of the gourds; after his Heart Eye sensed it slightly, he instantly knew what this Spirit Liquid was—it was the famous Spring Water of Returning Yang.

It is said that such a portion of Spring Water of Returning Yang is worth a fortune; even if an Integration Stage cultivator suffers a fatal injury, drinking a mouthful will cause them to recover instantly, as if they had been rejuvenated.

Even a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator in a state of critical injury can be saved by it.

Therefore, it is simply priceless.

It is monopolized by Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators; low-level cultivators have no chance at all to obtain such a portion of heavenly Spirit Liquid.

If it were to appear at an auction, it would definitely sell for an astronomical price.

He also did not expect that Xue Wanyan would actually possess such a portion of Spirit Liquid.

In terms of value, it is perhaps only slightly less than the Supreme Heaven-Piercing Treasure, the Blood Flame Halberd, but the difference is negligible.

After all, this is something that can save one's life at a critical moment.

If it catches the eye of someone in need, then it is quite normal for the price at an auction to be even more expensive than a Supreme Heaven-Piercing Treasure.

"Since he had this portion of Spring Water of Returning Yang, why didn't he consume it?"

"Right, he couldn't bear to."

Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he immediately obtained the relevant intelligence from Xue Wanyan's memories.

Although Xue Wanyan had been ambushed by an enemy and suffered heavy injuries, they were not fatal wounds.

As long as he was given some time, or if he devoured the blood of a large number of living beings, he could still recover quickly.

The problem was that he only had this one portion of Spring Water of Returning Yang, which was equivalent to a life-saving Treasure.

If he used it up, it would be impossible to obtain another.

More importantly, his situation at that time had not reached the point of life or death, so naturally, he saved it whenever he could.

How could he bear to waste such a precious Treasure?

It is the so-called principle that good steel must be used on the blade.

Unfortunately, it was precisely because of this stingy mentality that he harmed himself.

He was finished off by Zhou Sui manipulating the Seventh-Tier Upper-Grade Great Array, dying without a whole corpse.

In the end, he didn't even have the chance to use the Spring Water of Returning Yang.

However, the reason Zhou Sui was so excited was naturally not just because the Spring Water of Returning Yang was a supreme Treasure; more importantly, it was also one of the main materials for refining the Golden Cicada Gu.

One must know that the Golden Cicada Gu is also one of the Heavenly Gu Insects, containing incredible abilities, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones.

That is to say, as long as the last breath has not been extinguished, one can be saved by the power of the Golden Cicada Gu.

This can be called the strongest healing Gu Insect within the Gu God Bowl.

Moreover, this kind of Gu Insect can not only be used on others, but also on oneself.

Once the Golden Cicada Gu is successfully refined, it is equivalent to him possessing an undying body.

Even if he is beaten into a state of critical injury by an enemy, as long as he does not die immediately, the injuries on his body will recover rapidly.

And the higher the cultivation, the faster the speed of recovery.

This is also equivalent to an undying body.

It can be said that this is the formidable aspect of the Golden Cicada Gu; it is simply beyond imagination.

"To refine the Golden Cicada Gu, a total of three main materials are required."

"One of them is naturally the Spring Water of Returning Yang."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, recalling the many materials for refining the Golden Cicada Gu.

Clearly, wanting to refine the Golden Cicada Gu was not as simple as imagined.

Ordinary Gu Insects only have one main material and many auxiliary materials.

But the Golden Cicada Gu has as many as three main materials, each of which is priceless.

One of the main materials is precisely the Spring Water of Returning Yang.

"The second main material is the Heaven-Mending Ganoderma; it is said that this is a top-tier Spirit Medicine capable of mending all defects of the body. Its grade can even grow to the Eight-Tier; it is precious to the extreme. Even in the Spirit World, it is a legendary Spirit Medicine, something to be encountered but not sought."

"The third main material is the Undying Grass; this is also an extremely special Spirit Medicine. It seems to contain the power of immortality within its body; even if killed countless times, it can constantly regenerate, and its vitality is incomparably tenacious. Unfortunately, this is also hard to find. There are many Spirit Grasses in the world, but the Undying Grass is few and far between; even Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators would drool over it."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He naturally knew the difficulty of refining the Golden Cicada Gu; compared to the many Gu Insects he had refined before, he didn't know how many times more difficult it was. These main materials alone were treasures hard to find in the world.

Even with his current net worth, wanting to find these materials, even if he exhausted his family fortune, might not be possible.

Of course, once the refining is successful, the benefits to him will naturally be quite huge.

It is equivalent to him possessing an undying body.

Even if he is beaten into a state of critical injury by an enemy and suffers unimaginable wounds, he can recover rapidly.

This also greatly increases his life-saving ability.

"I didn't expect my luck to be so good that I actually obtained the Spring Water of Returning Yang."

"Although the remaining two main materials are also extremely precious and almost hard to find."

"But if I am lucky, perhaps I can also obtain the remaining two main materials."

"Once successful, then refining the Golden Cicada Gu will be an easy task."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin; he felt very excited.

This is truly a case of searching high and low, only to find it without any effort.

Originally, he didn't have much interest in refining the Golden Cicada Gu, as the main materials were hard to find.

But now it is different.

Since one of the main materials has been found here, to a certain extent, one-third of the task has been completed, and with two-thirds of the task remaining, that will be a complete success.

This kind of mission progress can be considered quite good.

"Forget it, forget it. Finding these two main materials is not something that can be done overnight."

"The most important thing now is still to find Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone."

"After all, these two types of Mineral are the key."

"Only after finding these two types of Mineral can I set up the Five Elements Xumi Mist Array."

"In this way, Fengxi Island can be considered completely safe and become a secure base."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

From the memories of Xue Wanyan and other Blood Moon Clan Cultivator, he knew there was an island in the nearby sea area called Hefeng Island, which was a famous commercial island in this sea area, with a city built on it that covered the entire island.

Basically, living beings within a radius of ten billion kilometers of the sea area would come to this island to trade.

Of course, Hefeng Island was also controlled by the Tianpeng Clan, and the annual profit earned was quite astonishing.

The reason it was called Hefeng Island was because this island was once controlled by the Feihe Clan.

The Feihe Clan was once a super race, having birthed dozens of Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator.

However, because they offended a True Spirit, they were exterminated.

They also left behind a Secret Realm World on this island—the Flying Crane Secret Realm, which was once the headquarters of the Feihe Clan, shrouded by an Eighth-Tier Restriction Array, and it nurtured a large number of Treasure inside.

Among them were Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone.

If one could enter the Flying Crane Secret Realm, there would be a chance to obtain Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone for free.

"According to the memories, this Flying Crane Secret Realm opens once every hundred years."

"Recently should be the time for the Flying Crane Secret Realm to open."

"And everyone can buy a ticket to the Flying Crane Secret Realm."

"Basically, three Immortal Crystal can get you in once."

"In other words, as long as I buy a ticket, I can enter the Flying Crane Secret Realm and obtain the Treasure inside."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

The reason the Tianpeng Clan was willing to do this was naturally because it was difficult for outsiders entering the Flying Crane Secret Realm to obtain any overly precious Treasure, and instead, it was very easy to die inside the Secret Realm.

After all, it was shrouded in an Eighth-Order Array, as well as many dangerous Forbidden Array.

A slight carelessness would trigger the restriction inside, invoking the power of the restriction, and thus leading to death and dissipation.

Therefore, the Tianpeng Clan deliberately opened the Flying Crane Secret Realm to take the opportunity to collect ticket fees.

Over a long period, the money earned from ticket fees was about to exceed the value of the Secret Realm World itself.

Of course, the Tianpeng Clan were not fools and would not drain the pond to catch the fish.

There were still some people who had gains and could come out of the Flying Crane Secret Realm.

This also made many Cultivator ecstatic and even more eager to enter it.

It was just like a buffet restaurant; on the surface, you could drink and eat infinitely, but in fact, the boss always made a profit, as not everyone was a big eater.

As long as the number of customers was large enough, the buffet restaurant could not lose money.

The Flying Crane Secret Realm was actually the same principle.

"It seems the Flying Crane Secret Realm is a must-visit."

"If I can enter the Flying Crane Secret Realm, not only can I obtain Wuxing Stone and Xumi Stone."

"More importantly, I can gain insight into the mysteries of the Eighth-Order Array."

"This is the food for the Array Heart Gu."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

One must know that ever since the Array Heart Gu completely understood the Seven-Tier High-Grade Great Array of Fengxi City, its evolution had stopped, and it could not continue to progress in the short term.

Only by obtaining an Eighth-Order Array could the Array Heart Gu continue to evolve.

The problem was that even in the Spirit World, Eighth-Order Array were extremely rare and were basically the headquarters of various races.

How could an outsider possibly enter the headquarters of other races?

Even getting close was impossible.

A place like the Flying Crane Secret Realm, the headquarters of a former super race containing an Eighth-Order Array, was actually quite rare.

So for him, this was undoubtedly a huge opportunity.

Once he could enter the Flying Crane Secret Realm, he could use the power of the Array Heart Gu to devour and digest the mysteries of the Eighth-Order Array.

In this way, him becoming an Eighth-Rank Array Master would be just around the corner.

Clearly, heading to Hefeng Island was already an imperative matter.

"Heading to Hefeng Island will take at least a month or two."

"After all, the distance is truly too long; it cannot be reached overnight."

"But it doesn't matter; I'll just let a clone take the Gu Insect and go."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he immediately issued orders to some of his clones to take the Array Heart Gu, Teleportation Gu, and other Gu Insect to head to Hefeng Island.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure instantly disappeared from this place, flying towards the outside of Fengxi City, teleporting ten million kilometers away.
