Chapter 187: Life-Saving Grace, Repaid on the Spot (Fourth Update—Subscribe!)

Exalted Linglong, the Lady Immortal of Linglong Blessed Land, is the most powerful, most influential, and wealthiest female Immortal in the Xuan Huang Great World.

The Linglong Blessed Land she founded admits only female disciples, and all her female disciples are wealthy and well-endowed.

But cultivation requires not only sufficient resources but also ample trials; this time, Lotus Cloud Immortal and Green Feather Immortal came to the Flesh and Mud Bog for training, only to be ambushed by six Heavenly Demon Kings and forced into a disadvantageous position.

If not for Fang Yu's intervention, even if they escaped, they would surely have been injured.

A life-saving grace, repaid on the spot.

Fang Yu received ten thousand Nascent Soul elixirs, and his mood was quite pleasant.

The group left the Flesh and Mud Bog and headed toward a safe location.

After all, several Heavenly Demon Kings had died here; if they stayed any longer, a 6th Stage of Divine Abilities Return to Oneness Realm, or even a 7th Stage Golden Core Realm Great Heavenly Demon King might arrive, and then they wouldn't be able to leave.

Know when to quit, slip away while the going's good.

"Ahead lies the South Sea Continent. Fang Dao friend, you've slain many Heavenly Demon Kings and acquired some treasures—anything you don't need can be sold at the Wan Gui Sea Market."

Over the sea, the wind was gentle and the sun bright; four figures flew slowly through the sky, with Fang Yu and Lotus Cloud Immortal leading, while Long Xuan and Green Feather Immortal followed behind.

Long Xuan possessed a spiritual artifact that allowed flight; over these days she had gained many strokes of fortune, and daily consumption of top-grade elixirs had greatly boosted her cultivation base—now, a single glare from her eyes could make those below the Divine Ability Secret Realm fall into an illusion, clearly indicating her spirit had reached an extreme level, just one step away from the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

The moment to cross that threshold was not far off.

As for Fang Yu, his advancement was even greater; with Nascent Soul elixirs as such fine resources, his body received massive energy replenishment daily, his spirit transformed into magic power, and his magic power hardened into Daoist Gang Qi—his strength surged forward at an astonishing rate.

He also possessed Six Yang Holy Water; refining even a single drop could cleanse his Daoist Gang Qi, making it more nimble.

While flying over the sea toward the Wan Gui Sea Market, his magic power had reached fifteen thousand Xuan Huang Steed's strength.

This is what is called surging forward at an astonishing rate.

Of course, he had not yet broken through to the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities Yin-Yang Realm; yet Lotus Cloud Immortal's strength was already the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities Heavenly Man Realm—though she had only recently broken through, she was still a Heavenly Man Realm cultivator, and in the Cultivation World, she could be called a True Person, with eight hundred years of life.

At this moment, as Fang Yu and Lotus Cloud "True Person" advanced ahead, they saw a vast continent on the ocean, with what appeared to be cities, populations, and shops.

Along the coastal ports, countless ships were either moored or coming and going.

Those ships included tower ships, sailboats, five-toothed great warships, and many colossal vessels, floating like mountains upon the sea.

Such colossal vessels were entirely constructed of hard steel, with carrying capacities reaching millions, even tens of millions of jin—extremely formidable.

"Those giant warships belong to the First Empire of the World, the Da Xuan Empire; every year, the Da Xuan Empire conducts massive trade with the Wan Gui Sea Market, exchanging goods. But behind the Da Xuan Empire stands the Tai Yi Sect."
