Surveying Old Ancestor Yun of Thunder Cloud Palace
"I am aware of Vice Alliance Leader Lu's purpose in coming."
After Yun Fusheng had Su Bai sit down, he spoke directly.
Su Bai remained outwardly calm, thinking to himself that the news from the South Sea had spread quickly enough; Yun Fusheng already knew the purpose of Su Bai's visit.
Although the South Sea Nine Islands are not closely connected, they still have channels for sharing some basic information.
Yun Fusheng continued, "The South Sea has scarce resources. I am naturally pleased to have the opportunity for our Thunder Cloud Palace to gain a foothold in the Demon Star Sea."
"I will have Chen Shuo assemble a Cultivator force to go to the Demon Star Sea, under the command of Vice Alliance Leader Lu."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai cupped his hands in thanks, "Then, Old Ancestor Yun, could you yourself travel to the Demon Star Sea and lend me a hand...?"
Yun Fusheng waved his hand. "Vice Alliance Leader Lu, I previously fought alongside your Heavenly Star Alliance's Ancestor Tian Xing against several Demon King."
"Although I survived by sheer luck, I was severely injured, my very essence was damaged, and I will need a long time to recover."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai could only sigh. Among the South Sea Nine Islands, the Cultivator Thunder Cloud Palace were actually the most eager to expand outwards. Therefore, before Su Bai could even make his invitation, Yun Fusheng had already accepted.
"I wonder what kind of Spirit Pills Old Ancestor Yun needs to recover from his injuries? Perhaps my alchemy skills can offer some assistance," Su Bai said.
Yun Fusheng shook his head. "I used Limit-Breaking Secret Technique to unleash Divine Ability, which injured my very essence. It's not an ordinary injury. Unless I have a rare Lightning Attribute treasure to help repair my essence, the injury will be extremely difficult to recover from."
Su Bai's heart stirred, and he secretly activated the Survey ability of the Immortal Talent Reflection.
When Copy Han Zhenyuan's Water Attribute Spell Talent, the ability to Survey had been reserved and not used because it had already been Survey beforehand.
Survey successful!
[Name]: Yun Fusheng
[Spirit Root Talent]: Variant Single Spirit Root (Lightning) (Damaged)
[Spell Talent]: Thunderous Might (Yellow Tier) (Damaged)
As expected, the damage to the essence of High-Ranked Cultivator means that their Spirit Root and Talent are damaged.
The origin, as the name suggests, is the source of one's own energy, whether one is Human Race Cultivator or Demon Cultivator.
Spirit Root Talent and Spell Talent are the embodiment of this origin.
Therefore, the Mysterious Tier Lightning Attribute Spell Talent [Thunder Break Resonance] within his body is a higher-level existence than the origin within Yun Fusheng's body.
Perhaps this can help Yun Fusheng restore his damaged essence.
Thunder Soul Resonance (Mysterious Tier)]: Generates Thunder Spirit, increases the speed of cultivating Lightning Attribute Divine Ability by 5000%, grants innate understanding of Thunder power, Power Increase Lightning Attribute Spell Divine Ability by 200%, reduces damage from Lightning Attribute divine Divine Ability by 70%, and allows the Thunder Spirit to modify Lightning Attribute Divine Ability abilities during casting, passively triggering natural forces that reduce the user's Spiritual Power consumption by 70%. The Thunder Spirit is extremely resilient and can mitigate damage from Divine Sense to a certain extent.
After glancing at the attributes of [Thunder Break Resonance], Su Bai decided to give it a try.
"Old Ancestor Yun, please allow this humble Daoist to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Yun Fusheng neither refused nor asked what methods Su Bai had used; he simply nodded.
Su Bai then slightly extended his hand towards Yun Fusheng's body, his five fingers spread open, and then activated the [Thunder Soul Resonance] within his body.
Buzzing.
Under Su Bai's control, this Mysterious Tier Talent began to operate silently.
A faint blue light enveloped Yun Fusheng, seeping into the very essence of his body.
"Hmm?" Yun Fusheng's expression changed drastically. He didn't know what method Lu Jiu had used, but he found that the source of his energy was slowly recovering.
Normally, it would take him at least a month of meticulous meditation to achieve the desired effect, but under Lu Jiu's methods, he could clearly feel the changes in a short period of time.
After a short while, Su Bai stopped using [Thunder Soul Resonance].
This was the first time Su Bai had ever used his Spell Talent to heal others' very essence.
He found this method of operation to be quite tiring.
But he could also sense that this method was indeed effective!
"My understanding of Spirit Root, Spell Talent, and origins has also deepened," Su Bai said thoughtfully.
Su Bai spoke up, "Old Ancestor Yun, how are you feeling? Would you like to come with me to the Demon Star Sea?"
At this moment, Yun Fusheng also opened his eyes.
He bowed respectfully to Su Bai: "Vice Alliance Leader Lu, though I do not know what method you used, I am deeply grateful."
"I am willing to accompany you to the Demon Star Sea for battle, with only one request: that you use this method to heal my wounds periodically."
Su Bai said, "Although this method is a bit tiring to perform, it's still no problem to heal you once every ten days or so, Old Ancestor."
Yun Fusheng, lacking any Immortal Art, naturally couldn't know that Spell Talent could be materialized, and therefore didn't see anything wrong with Su Bai's long casting intervals.
They even felt the casting interval was too short.
"Then it's settled!"
"Besides me, Thunder Cloud Palace will also send five Golden Core Cultivator and thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivator to the Demon Star Sea, just like Pill Island!" Yun Fusheng said.
Su Bai cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Old Ancestor. I will now leave Thunder Island and head to Fire Island for reinforcements..."
"You don't need to run anymore, Vice Alliance Leader Lu."
Leave it to me.
"I'll pass on the message to you, Old Ancestor: if they want to come, they can come; they'll assemble at the Thunder Cloud Palace. If they don't want to, you can go there yourself; it won't matter."
After discovering that Su Bai could accelerate the recovery of his damaged essence, Yun Fusheng became noticeably warmer towards Su Bai.
He took the initiative to handle the matter.
Su Bai pondered for a moment, and realized that Yun Fusheng's words made sense, so he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Old Ancestor Yun."
"Sure, sure."
Yun Fusheng took out a Law Treasure and began Transmit Message in front of Su Bai.
"Listen up, all of you. Anyone willing to follow Vice Alliance Leader Lu to the Demon Star Sea for the war, give me a reply within three days and assemble at the Thunder Cloud Palace."
"If there is no response within three days, it will be considered that you have given up your opportunity to enter the Demon Star Sea Spirit Plain."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai coughed slightly and said, "Old Ancestor Yun, wasn't your tone a bit too harsh? After all, I'm the one asking for help..."
"Not tough at all!"
"The Demon Star Sea is rich in resources, and those guys have wanted to take it over for a long time. Otherwise, why would they have established Stronghold in Heavenly Star City so quickly after forming an alliance?"
"Once you take over a Spirit Plain, there's no reason not to wage war. Since we're going to fight anyway, going with you will actually be advantageous. This is a rare opportunity."
Su Bai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; what Yun Fusheng said seemed to make some sense.
Shortly after Yun Fusheng the Transmit Message, a buzzing sound rang out.
The Law Treasure trembled.
"See, that's a reply, isn't it?"
Su Bai cupped his hands and said, "Old Ancestor."
Ultimately, in addition to Pill Island and Thunder Island, Blade Island, Cold Island, and Rock Island, three of the South Sea Nine Islands, also sent teams of five Golden Core cultivators and thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivator to assist in the battle.
The other four Artifact Island— Moon Island, Fire Island, and Tree Island —did not take action for various reasons.
For example, on Fire Island, Nascent Soul Cultivator were killed in the battle of the South Sea, and the island is still in internal strife.
Yan Chi, Golden Core Cultivator from Fire Island, was once hailed as the number one genius in the South Sea. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Su Bai, and now he is said to have been tricked by his junior brother Duan Cong and his whereabouts are unknown.
There are still Nascent Soul Cultivator on Artifact Island, but they are used to hiding in the background and not putting in any real effort; this time, they have chosen to observe and wait...
A few days later, after making arrangements with the Southern Sea Cultivator, Su Bai returned to Heavenly Star City via the Teleportation Array.
