Yaoguang Island, Yaoguang City.
After transferring between two Teleportation Array and flying for several more days, Cheng Buzheng finally arrived at the small island of Yaoguang Island.
He saw many cultivators in the bustling city. Although it was a small island, there were many more cultivators than in White Cloud City. Although 99% of the cultivators were Qi Refining Stage cultivators, he could occasionally see a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
As for Golden Core Stage cultivators, he didn't see a single one.
After all, this island is just a small island, with an area of only three thousand miles in circumference. Moreover, this island is located in the Outer Sea area, and there are very few second-tier Demon Beast and Desolate Beast in the waters near the island.
Therefore, no high-level cultivators come here to hunt Demon Beast and Desolate Beast.
As a result, even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators are rare on this island.
The Qi Refining Stage cultivators on this island mostly hunt first-tier Desolate Beast and Demon Beast to exchange for Spirit Stone, which they then use to buy Spirit Pill and Law Artifact to sustain their cultivation.
This is the current situation for most small island Immortal City, and of course, this only applies to island Immortal City in the Outer Sea area.
As for the small islands in the Inner Sea, due to the abundance of Demon Beast and Desolate Beast, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can often be seen there, and even Golden Core Stage cultivators can be spotted occasionally.
Cheng Buzheng wandered around for a long time, calculated the date, and then walked straight out.
Not long after.
He arrived at the city gate and saw two Qi Refining Stage disciples dressed in the same style of clothing, with five simple, tiny characters embroidered on their sleeves: ' Yaoguang City · Luo Clan '.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng also knew that the Lineage guarding this island was the Luo Family, and that it was a cultivation Lineage with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator guarding it.
He was not surprised by this.
Within the Sea Suppressing Alliance, there are far too many cultivation Lineage like this, and even Lineage with Golden Core cultivators in charge are not few in number.
Even Lineage at the Nascent Soul Realm number over a dozen within the sea areas ruled by the Sea Suppressing Alliance.
Of course, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivators stationed in the Lineage, the larger the island they guard, and the more abundant the resources of the surrounding seas become.
According to rumors.
The Sea Suppressing Alliance has more than a dozen immortal cultivation clans, each with an island guarded by a Nascent Soul Realm True Lord. These islands are all medium-sized and located in the Inner Sea area.
Although Inner Sea are much more dangerous than Outer Sea, their resources are incomparable to those of the Outer Sea.
However, the Sea Suppressing Alliance will not let these cultivation Lineage benefit for nothing.
Within the Sea Suppressing Alliance, cultivation Lineage are like small local lords, required to offer a large amount of spiritual items every ten years. The larger the island area they guard, the more spiritual items they need to offer.
Even the Qi-cultivating Lineage guarding tiny islands are required to make offerings.
Therefore, there is only one way for a Rogue Cultivator to own an island: to form Lineage. As long as they pay Spirit Stone, they can own an island.
Qi Refining Stage, one can only guard small islands; Foundation Establishment Realm, one can guard small islands, and so on.
Of course, the higher the grade of the island, the rarer it becomes, and the more difficult it is to obtain.
Even so.
If there are not enough Spirit Stone to offer as tribute when the time comes, the island will be taken back by the Sea Suppressing Alliance.
As a result, many Rogue Cultivator within the Sea Suppressing Alliance have adopted the names of Lineage to own an island, though these are mostly small or micro-sized islands.
However, usually only wealthy Rogue Cultivator can own their own island, while some remote islands without Spirit Vein are ignored.
On some islands abundant with spiritual creatures, it's not uncommon for people to fight fiercely over who gets to own them.
This is why the Sea Suppressing Alliance has almost become a world dominated by Lineage and Rogue Cultivator cultivators.
However, the Sea Suppressing Alliance Sea Suppressing Alliance directly rules and manages its several large islands, presumably because the profits involved are too great, and even Nascent Soul True Lord wouldn't be able to gain much advantage from them.
This is also one of the pillars of the Sea Suppressing Alliance's Spirit Stone, and it reflects the current state of the Sea Suppressing Alliance.
The Immortal Alliance is different from the Sea Suppressing Alliance. From large islands to tiny islands, the Immortal Alliance Immortal Alliance manages them, and its management is exceptionally strict.
This is also the reason why the Immortal Alliance and the Demon Alliance have continued to grow stronger, and why the Sea Suppressing Alliance's overall strength is inferior to that of the two major alliances.
However, while Cheng Buzheng waited, his thoughts were racing.
Thousands of miles away from Yaoguang Island, a streak of light flashed by.
Not long after,
Jiang Fugui and Jiang Siling appeared on Yaoguang Island.
Without lingering, the two headed straight for the city gate.
"Junior Brother Cheng!"
Jiang Fugui walked towards Cheng Buzheng at a leisurely pace.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng didn't say much. There were many cultivators here, and it wasn't convenient to say certain things.
Then, the three walked out and came to the edge of the island.
Jiang Siling took out a Treasure Tool shaped like a leaf and tossed it into the air.
The Treasure Tool swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a leaf three zhang in size.
Immediately.
Jiang Siling glanced at the two of them, then her delicate pink lips parted slightly, and a clear, melodious voice rang out:
"Come on up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Siling flew directly onto the Treasure Tool.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng did not hesitate. Riding this flying Treasure Tool would not only save time but also save him from consuming magic power. He flew onto the leaf-shaped Treasure Tool with Jiang Fugui.
Immediately.
At Jiang Fugui's signal, Jiang Siling flew directly southwest.
The Treasure Tool, shaped like a leaf, transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly forward.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng sighed inwardly at the woman's wealth; she already possessed such a flying Treasure Tool after only Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, this Treasure Tool's flight speed is more than ten times faster than his Universe Flowing Light Escape, making it at least a high-grade Treasure Tool, and a fine example of a high-grade Treasure Tool.
"The disciple of Nascent Soul True Lord is truly wealthy!"
Cheng Buzheng thought to himself.
After flying for seven days, at Jiang Fugui's signal, the leaf-shaped Treasure Tool quietly floated above a sea area.
Upon seeing the vast expanse of sea, Cheng Buzheng looked at Jiang Fugui and said:
" Martial Brother, are you sure this is the place?"
At the same time, Jiang Siling looked at Jiang Fugui with a questioning gaze.
See here.
Jiang Fugui circled around and said;
"I've only seen it on a map; after all, I'm not familiar with this area!"
"However, it should be in this area of the sea!"
"We're looking."
Then they began exploring the surrounding area, two days later.
Cheng Buzheng saw the small island in the distance, which was about a hundred miles in circumference and shaped like a sea turtle, he didn't pay it any mind. He had seen quite a few islands like this in the past two days.
These islands are all tiny islands, devoid of Spirit Vein, Spirit Mine, and even human habitation.
There are far too many islands like this in the Endless Sea.
However, upon seeing the island, Jiang Fugui suddenly spoke:
" Little Sister, fly that way, that should be our destination!"
Jiang Fugui pointed to a small island in the distance that resembled a sea turtle.
Jiang Siling looked in the direction Jiang Fugui was pointing and said:
"Brother, are you sure this is the island?"
Jiang Siling was somewhat suspicious, as the island was quite ordinary and had nothing special about it. The only slightly unusual thing was its turtle-shaped terrain.
Even so, there are quite a few strangely shaped islands in the Endless Sea.
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Fugui nodded and said:
"Indeed, the location, terrain, and size of this island perfectly match the map description."
Immediately.
A streak of light shot towards the island, which resembled a sea turtle.
The light dissipated, and the three figures appeared on the island.
Then, led by Jiang Fugui, they quickly moved towards a certain place.
A short while later.
The three of them stopped at the angle between the right hind leg of the Sea Turtle Island and the island's body.
Jiang Siling gazed at the beach before her, explored it with her Divine Sense, and then asked with a questioning look in her beautiful eyes:
"Big brother, are you sure this is the place?"
"I haven't noticed anything unusual at all!"
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Fugui smiled slightly and said:
"It must be because of the formation!"
"Otherwise, how could the cave abode left behind by high-level cultivators be found so easily!"
Cheng Buzheng also largely agreed with Jiang Fugui's statement. The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more unpredictable and mysterious their methods become, which are definitely beyond the comprehension of low-level cultivators.
Moreover, Jiang Fugui also said that this abandoned cave abode may have been left by Golden Core Stage cultivator. However, the feng shui layout of this place is extremely rare and is also known as the Land of Rebirth.
Of course, Cheng Buzheng quite interested in this path, which is why he did some research, but most cultivators would not care about these useless books.
Therefore, neither Jiang Fugui nor Jiang Siling noticed anything unusual about the place.
Immediately, Jiang Fugui spoke:
Let's go!
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned a defensive Treasure Tool, creating a protective shield, and flew towards the sea below.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Buzheng formed a hand Method Formula.
Half a breath later.
A Black and White Flowing Spirit Light enveloped him, and following closely behind Jiang Fugui's steps, it descended downwards.
Jiang Siling, who was not far away, was quite surprised to see the Black and White Flowing Spirit Light enter the sea without causing any ripples. She then transmitted her voice to Cheng Buzheng:
"Junior Brother Cheng, where did you learn this Treasure Art from?"
Upon hearing this...
Cheng Buzheng his eyelids, showing none of his previous sycophantic behavior, and instead answered every question calmly:
"This Treasure Art is a family Treasure Art, passed down only to men, not women."
Cheng Buzheng want to pass on any of his Treasure Art Treasure Art; each Treasure Art was unique to him.
If this gets out, a way to control it might be found, and if that method is used on him, things could get really messy.
otherwise.
Long ago, he would sell the Law Technique and Treasure Art that he had already deduced once.
Because Law Technique and Treasure Art are essentially inherited from the same lineage, even if Law Technique is spread out, there is a possibility that a way to counter it can be found.
After all, ordinary Law Technique don't fetch a good price, while high-quality spells attract the attention of high-level cultivators. Every high-quality Law Technique is a force to be reckoned with in battles between cultivators of the same level.
Although high-level cultivators don't need it, they also have disciples and relatives. Only high-level cultivators who venture into the cultivation world alone would not be tempted by high-quality Law Technique.
Cheng Buzheng couldn't guarantee whether he would encounter such a high-level cultivator.
Moreover...
If you're short on Spirit Stone, you can just focus on refining pills; why take this risk? It just takes a little longer!
However, upon hearing this, Jiang Siling was seething with hatred, but on the surface, she remained completely unmoved.
She pursed her thin lips slightly, glanced at him indifferently, and said meaningfully:
" Your Lineage is truly prosperous, fellow Daoist! To think that such a precious Treasure Art has been passed down to you!"
She had already learned from Jiang Fugui that the other party had been tested for Spirit Root in an ordinary county town and then joined the sect.
Just now, he looked very serious, but what he said was utter nonsense.
She thought to herself:
"This fairy doesn't actually want to learn this Treasure Art; she's just a little curious!"
"Is it really necessary to be so wary of this fairy?"
Even if you gave it to me right now, I wouldn't look at it!
"I don't know how Grandpa and this stingy guy became such good friends despite their age difference."
"He wants me to be his dao companion? He can only dream about it!"
Thinking about this...
Jiang Siling glanced at Cheng Buzheng, then quickened her pace to catch up with Jiang Fugui ahead.
A short while later.
The three arrived at the seabed at the corner of the island. Jiang Fugui waved his hand, and the thick layer of mud and sand was swept away.
A dark, smooth stone slab appeared on the spot!
Cheng Buzheng looked at the somewhat familiar stone slab and then recognized its material.
This stone slab was made from the God-Restricting Stone.
No wonder.
He had not noticed anything unusual about the place before.
The God-Restricting Stone is different from Law Artifact and Treasure Tool that shield Divine Sense.
When Divine Sense probes into Divine Sense Law Artifact Treasure Tool that shield it, it's as if one has hit an invisible wall. High-level Law Artifact can use their powerful Divine Sense to penetrate Law Artifact and Treasure Tool, but they will inevitably be detected by their Treasure Tool.
This is also the most common method of blocking Divine Sense on the market.
The God-Restricting Stone, however, is quite different.
Once a cultivator's Divine Sense probes the God-Restricting Stone, it's as if it penetrates the air, making you unable to detect anything unusual about this place.
This is also one of the methods used by most high-level cultivators' Abandoned Mansion.
certainly.
This is a method that only wealthy high-level cultivators can set up. As for those poor and destitute high-level cultivators, let's not even talk about them!
Don't assume that high-level cultivators have an endless supply of Spirit Stone. For every Demon Beast they kill, the Desolate Beast will receive a large amount of Spirit Stone.
However, the amount of Spirit Stone consumed by high-level cultivators is incomparable to that consumed by low-level cultivators.
Therefore, among high-level cultivators, there are quite a few poor cultivators like Cheng Buzheng, unless those high-level cultivators do not purchase Spirit Pill, Law Treasure, and other such consumption.
But that's almost impossible; no high-level cultivator would be willing to do that!
Every cultivator who advances to a higher level possesses an incredibly resolute mind; how could they possibly remain at the same realm forever!
Even if a high-level cultivator is about to reach the end of their lifespan, they will still consider possessing another body. This is why many old monsters, especially in their later years, like to take on Qi Refining Stage cultivators as disciples.
As for those rumored to have advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm in less than a few years, they are mostly old monsters who have been reborn through possession and lived another life.
Of course, it's also possible that the other party is a cultivator with Heavenly Spiritual Root, but it's also possible that the other party has been possessed by an old monster.
After all, every old monster who possesses a body prefers a cultivator with outstanding aptitude.
As for those with Five Spiritual Roots, those with Four Spiritual Roots are almost never considered, unless there are special circumstances.
otherwise.
The old monster would never possess a cultivator with poor aptitude, since each cultivator can only possess a body once in their lifetime.
This is their only chance, and those veterans will treat it with utmost care!
Therefore, during his Qi Refining Stage, Cheng Buzheng disliked getting too close to cultivators with exceptional talent who could rapidly improve their cultivation in a short period of time.
The most important reason.
These cultivators were either the targets of the old monster's possession, or the old monster had already successfully possessed them.
In the blink of an eye.
Cheng Buzheng's thoughts drifted from the God-Restricting Stone to somewhere else!
