Mist Demon Sea

It was a summer morning. The vast sea was calm and still, with a layer of morning mist covering its surface. Occasionally, a few large fish would dart across the surface, creating ripples.

"Undying Sea" generally refers to the sea area surrounding the Tianyuan Realm, but in reality, when martial artists actually mention "Undying Sea," they are referring to the vast sea area far to the north and west of the Tianyuan Continent.

The deeper one goes into that sea, the thinner the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi becomes. Even sea beasts, fish, and shrimp are extremely rare. When powerful beings at the Emperor Realm fly here, they cannot obtain the replenishment of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, so naturally they dare not go any deeper. This is the true meaning of "not crossing over".

As for the sea area near the Tianyuan Realm, although it is connected with the Undying Sea, martial artists are actually used to calling these sea areas by different names, such as the Mist Demon Sea.

The Mist Demon Sea is located on the southern side of the Tianyuan Realm. Its area spans hundreds of thousands of miles, and it is shrouded in a layer of sea fog all year round, appearing hazy from afar.

The Mist Demon Sea is very dangerous because this sea area is inhabited by terrifying sea monsters. With mist and monsters, the Mist Demon Sea gets its name.

In reality, these sea monsters are actually terrifying wild beasts. They can easily shatter spirit ships and devour the warriors inside. This makes the small sects near the Mist Demon Sea extremely fearful of this sea area.

However, even in fear, they still went out to sea.

At this moment, on a small island in the Mist Demon Sea, there were more than a dozen martial artists dressed in yellow, all around seventeen or eighteen years old. Each of them had a white cloud on the collar of their clothes, which was the mark of the core disciples of the Bai Ling Sect.

Being able to become one of the core disciples is enough to prove that these young people are quite talented.

Among the dozen or so young people, there was a man in purple robes who looked to be about forty or fifty years old. Three white clouds were embroidered on his collar. He was the leader of the dozen or so young disciples.

A dozen or so people lay in ambush among the rocks on the small island, their eyes fixed on the foggy sea.

"Uncle-Master Zhou, we've been lying in wait all night. Is it because the Demon Luring Pill we prepared weren't of high enough quality to attract any sea beasts?"

A girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an oval face and big eyes, spoke to the purple-clad man leading the group.

The man in purple was her martial uncle.

The man in purple shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient. Our Demon Luring Pill are indeed of insufficient quality, but this is not because our sect cannot produce high-quality Demon Luring Pill. Rather, it's for safety reasons. This time, we are going to the deep sea for training, which is extremely dangerous. If the Demon Luring Pill are of too high quality, and they attract sea beasts that we cannot handle, then things will be terrible!"

"This Demon Luring Pill will attract some Bloodthirsty Shark, Sky Pattern Sea Snake, and other wild beasts. Once they fall into the trap, you can handle them together. You'll gain something and increase your combat experience. I'll keep an eye on things to prevent any mistakes. If we accidentally attract some deep-sea Giant Beast, even I, your uncle, will be helpless."

The man in purple shook his head with a wry smile. This sea area is not safe!

However, no matter where they are, martial artists' cultivation is inseparable from fighting wild beasts, whether it is refining relics from wild bones or condensing Dharma Aspect Totem by killing wild beasts.

The sects in the Tianyuan Realm all rely on the mountains for sustenance and the sea for survival. Sects located inland naturally venture into the vast and boundless mountains, swamps, and forests deep within the Tianyuan Realm, while smaller sects situated on the coast can only risk their lives fighting at sea.

Bai Ling Sect is such a small sect.

Although it's called a small sect, that's only in comparison. In a place like the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, it would definitely be considered a top-tier power.

A dozen or so people waited patiently on the island until nearly noon, but still no wild beasts appeared. This made the purple-robed man surnamed Zhou feel that something was amiss. Logically speaking, there should be quite a few sea beasts in the depths of the Mist Demon Sea, and they should be very powerful. Why hadn't they seen a single one after waiting for eight or nine hours?

"Hmm? Something feels off!"

The Man surnamed Zhou suddenly said that he hadn't noticed it before, but now that he was sensing it carefully, he suddenly felt that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of heaven and earth in this sea area seemed to be too rich. Not only rich, but also pure. Although there are some auspicious places in the depths of the Mist Demon Sea, it is not so pure.

The dozen or so young disciples, bewildered, didn't know how to respond to their senior uncle's words.

What is that?

The Man surnamed Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up. He squinted and looked into the depths of the Mist Demon Sea.

The midday fog had dissipated considerably, allowing them to see further. They spotted a deep blue whirlpool swirling about seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters) above the azure sea.

The vortex is very subtle and difficult to detect without using your senses.

Although it was a vortex, it didn't inhale anything; instead, it was spewing out vital energy. The increasingly rich and pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that I had sensed earlier was clearly being expelled by this vortex.

"What's going on? Could some extraordinary treasure have appeared?"

The Man surnamed Zhou felt a chill run down his spine. It wasn't impossible for a rare treasure to suddenly appear in the sea. Once such a treasure appeared, it would be a great opportunity. If the treasure was extremely valuable, their Bai Ling Sect could soar to new heights.

The Man surnamed Zhou was excited, but his excitement didn't last long before he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and an extreme sense of danger surged into his mind.

He sensed an extremely terrifying fluctuation of Savage Power emanating from a sea area beneath the small whirlpool, along with a large amount of malevolent energy.

Deep-sea creatures!

The Man surnamed Zhou held his breath; beneath that horizon, a massive shadow lurked!

"Uncle-Master Zhou, what's wrong?"

The perceptive oval-faced girl noticed the change in the Man surnamed Zhou and couldn't help but ask.

The Man surnamed Zhou's expression was grave. In a hurried, low voice, he said, "All of you, conceal your presence and do not make a sound!"

He should have realized that if a rare treasure were to appear, it would definitely attract sea beasts. No wonder no sea beasts were eyeing their inferior Demon Luring Pill. It turned out that such an anomaly had occurred in the deep sea. He didn't know what kind of treasure had appeared, but judging from the current situation, it was probably out of their reach. They were so far away from the sect that it was impossible for the sect's people to arrive immediately.

The Man surnamed Zhou couldn't care less about regrets now; saving his own life and that of his young disciples was the most important thing.

At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi began to spew out more and more, becoming increasingly intense, to the point that it was almost visible to the naked eye.

Several golden specks of light converged and swirled in the air, with purple light membranes spreading between them.

The light membrane rapidly expanded, transforming into a light curtain several meters high, within which the aura of Space Law resonated.

What on earth happened?
