Shattered Star Sea Market, hospitable demon immortals

Fang Shu tested his sword in the middle of the sea, his face beaming with confidence.

Seeing the power of the seven Flying Swords, he was even more delighted.

"Indeed, it is a fine Law Artifact. With the seven swords combined into one, it can already rival Golden Core Law Artifact that has reached the eleventh tribulation stage."

Zheng's.

After the sword test ended, Fang Shu immediately put the Peacock Feather back into his sleeve, turned around, and once again disappeared into the Golden Core Treasure Ship.

Having obtained such a remarkable magical Law Artifact, he felt not only joy but also a surge of excitement.

Now, he has already obtained the identity of Profound Teaching True Disciple, acquired the Golden Core Treasure Ship, and obtained seven new Flying Sword. Even the Nail-Head Straw Effigy has undergone some kind of change, advancing further than before.

However, the one who is actually the main character is only at the tenth tribulation stage of the Golden Core.

At this Fang Shu, Fang Shu was eager to accelerate the accumulation of his Core Qi and break through to the eleventh tribulation.

In this way, when he arrives at the Central Province Ancestral Altar, he will likely have more confidence.

Unfortunately, after entering the Golden Core realm, the accumulation of Core Qi is extremely slow.

If it is said that in the Foundation Establishment stage, ordinary Immortal cultivator need a hundred years to accumulate the True Qi required to transcend tribulation, then in the Golden Core stage, it takes three hundred years to barely accumulate enough.

In other words, even Immortal cultivator who break through to the Golden Core stage in a hundred years would often need to cultivate for nine hundred years before they can achieve Golden Core Perfection if they do not have spirit medicine or fortuitous opportunity.

Moreover, this is only possible if the Immortal cultivator's True Core is of extremely high quality, and after the Golden Core, their lifespan can approach a thousand years!

Therefore, for those who have achieved immortality through alchemy, while arduous cultivation is not entirely useless, it is far less effective than before.

It could even be said that from the moment the Golden Core, whether True Immortal wants to transcend tribulations or simply improve their cultivation, they usually rely on consuming and refining spiritual substances.

However, the spiritual items mentioned here don't necessarily have to be elixirs or similar substances.

The main purpose of meditation practice at the Golden Core realm has thus become to refine Core Qi and temper the fire Qi, so that when Core Formation cultivator obtain spiritual objects in the future, they can quickly transform the spiritual objects into their own cultivation, leaving no superficiality.

On the treasure ship, Fang Shu returned to the ship and immediately disappeared into the quiet room.

Although he was breathing in and out Spiritual Qi, he was not focusing on refining Spiritual Qi into Core Qi. Instead, he was mainly refining his existing Core Qi, and only increasing it slightly if he had any spare Core Qi.

This rate of cultivation is even slower than described in the book.

Fortunately, he was already used to the cultivation of the Golden Core realm and did not find it particularly boring.

However, only occasionally would he think of the thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal he had given away.

For Fang Shu now, refining a three-thousand-year-old Polygonatum would certainly be a huge waste and not worthwhile. However, if he still had this medicine, he probably wouldn't have to endure such a slow cultivation pace.

If he refines it properly, he should at least accumulate enough cultivation to overcome the eleventh tribulation.

However, Fang Shu's current concern wasn't about regretting giving the Yellow Essence to the Azure Lion Immortal.

He was thinking to himself, "If only I could obtain a few more items comparable to Millennium Spirit Herb."

Buzz!

While Fang Shu was cultivating, his precious Golden Core Treasure Ship continued to cut through the waves and fly towards the nearest Sea Market.

The peacock eye it left on the sea slowly disappeared, and eventually the sea calmed down and vanished.

However, his casual strike had already attracted considerable attention in the sea.

Many sea monsters and nearby ships noticed the commotion and dared not look any longer, quickly circling around to avoid Fang Shu's treasure ship.

But at that moment, hundreds of miles away high in the sky, a carriage that resembled neither a coffin nor a sedan chair was also drawn to the peacock's eye in the sea.

The vehicle was pulled by large, black-scaled snakes, each with a few dragon-like features and shark fins growing on its sides, making it quite ferocious.

A voice rang out from within the shelf. "Who are these True Immortal, engaged in a magical duel ahead?"

Immediately, the beaded curtain on the carriage frame was lifted, revealing the head of a green turtle.

Its head stretched out and pierced the carriage frame, carefully examining the slowly disappearing "peacock eye" in the sea. A buzzing echo followed, "Young Master, there was no magical combat. That fellow, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was testing his Law Artifact. Judging from the aura, this old servant estimates it's Flying Sword or a sharp weapon like a nail."

Upon hearing the words "Law Artifact," and especially upon learning that it was a "powerful weapon," the people on the shelf immediately became interested. "It's Law Artifact! It seems it's not from a sea demon immortal like myself, but from the land."

Hearing this, the turtle-like demon, who was still observing the sea, felt a jolt in its heart. It immediately understood that its young master must have suddenly become interested and probably wanted to obtain the Immortal cultivator Law Artifact to admire.

Its eyes darted around, and it immediately replied, "Young Master, it's pretty much true. That fellow came by boat, and it wasn't a small boat either, so he must have some connections."

o

Upon hearing this, the person inside the vehicle fell silent for a moment and did not utter another sound.

This made the turtle-like demon see this, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he could have one less thing to worry about today.

Suddenly, the beaded curtain was lifted from the inside, and a striking face emerged from it. Its eyes were vertical, and its eyelids had a layer of translucent eyelid-like skin, making it appear as if it were half asleep.

Since we're all heading to Shattered Star Sea Market anyway, we'll most likely run into each other again later. Let me see which fellow Daoist I happen to encounter.

The Immortal cultivator with vertical eyes fully opened them and looked towards Fang Shu, his face immediately showing a hint of liveliness.

Suddenly, he patted the head of the turtle beside him and laughed loudly, "Haha, what a coincidence! It turns out that the people from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture have come out to sea."

The Immortal cultivator with vertical eyes immediately ordered the black-scaled serpent dragging the cart, "Hurry, chase after it! Don't let it escape."

Upon hearing this, the Turtle Immortal cultivator also squinted and examined Fang Shu's treasure ship. Sure enough, he saw the water and cloud patterns of the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture on the ship.

Its eyes darted around, and its mind began to work with new ideas. It immediately said, "Young Master has sharp eyes! These people from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture are sailing out to sea on a precious Golden Core Treasure Ship. It's likely the ship is loaded with the finest goods. Let's go forward and buy a few; we can get our hands on some fresh stuff!"

The vertical-eyed Immortal cultivator suddenly turned his head, looked at his tortoise servant, grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and laughed, "What discouraging words are you spouting, Tortoise Minister, about making purchases?"

If it were any of the other Divine Immortal Dao Vein, it would be fine, but since it's the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture that has run into me, it's already quite generous of me to allow them to roam freely in the Western Sea.

If those people don't bring any good goods on their ship to offer to me, they shouldn't blame me for being ruthless.

As he spoke, a cruel greedy glint appeared in the eyes of this vertical- Immortal cultivator immortal.

Upon hearing this, the turtle and Immortal cultivator did not show any greed on their faces. Instead, they shrank their necks and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, the Immortal cultivator with Vertical Eyes waved his hand dismissively and said, "No matter how powerful that Vast Sea Old Immortal is, he was able to establish a lineage of Divine Immortal in the Western Continent, which far surpasses that of ordinary unorthodox Divine Immortal."

But this old thing hasn't been to sea for hundreds of years. No matter how powerful he is, what use is he if he doesn't dare to go to sea? Don't worry, nowadays the Vast Sea Immortal Ocean only dares to show off in front of the human immortal Immortal cultivator. In front of us noble sea creatures, they are very weak-willed."

The turtle and Immortal cultivator heard this, pondered it carefully, and found it to be true.

Seeing that its young master was not acting rashly, it abandoned the idea of avoiding trouble.

Buzz! Hiss!

Several large, black-scaled snakes lowered their bodies and immediately flew towards the fish-shaped ship on the sea.

The distance of hundreds of miles was covered in a flash.

However, the Golden Core Treasure Ship, where Fang Shu was located, was also speeding along, causing the Black Serpent Chariot to take quite some time to catch up.

At this moment, the boatman, surnamed Immortal cultivator, naturally noticed that someone was chasing after him.

The man looked surprised and suspicious, and immediately sent a telepathic message to Fang Shu.

Fang Shu had just been immersed in his cultivation when he was suddenly interrupted. His brows furrowed, and he felt displeased.

Without a second thought, he simply sent a divine thought to signal the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator to continue sailing and not to concern himself with other matters.

With a whoosh, the speed of the Golden Core Treasure Ship increased significantly, aiming to leave the pursuing carriage behind.

Unexpectedly, this action, when viewed by the vertical-eyed Immortal cultivator on the vehicle frame, took on a different meaning.

It stood in front of the carriage, glanced at the tortoise and Immortal cultivator immortal beside it, and laughed, "See that? Driving such a large ship, yet it's so slippery. Truly worthy of being an Immortal cultivator from the Vast Sea lineage."

The Immortal cultivator immortal replied obsequiously, "The people on the boat must have seen the young master's carriage and recognized his background."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal cultivator with Vertical Eyes suddenly revealed a long, thin, forked tongue, his smile turning cold, "Since they've recognized my origins, how dare these outsiders not step forward to pay their respects?"

It pointed to the large ship ahead and ordered the black-scaled serpent pulling the cart, "Just ram it!"

Hiss!

Hesitation flickered in the eyes of the black-scaled serpents; they were not merely beasts, but intelligent demons.

The Immortal cultivator with vertical eyes closed uttered a sound, "Hmm?"

Immediately, several large snakes, their eyes filled with fear, desperately dragged the carriage towards Fang Shu's Golden Core Treasure Ship.

The Immortal cultivator with Vertical Eyes said with satisfaction, "If there are any good goods on that ship, I'll let you beasts have a taste as well."

Upon hearing this, the dragging serpent's eyes turned red, and it let out a high-pitched hiss.

Therefore, when the Immortal cultivator family tried to increase the distance between themselves and the unfamiliar carriage, they found that the distance between their treasure ship and the carriage was constantly decreasing.

Despite several attempts, the latter remained relentless and even appeared menacing.

"Master!" The immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator could only interrupt Fang Shu's cultivation again, letting Fang Shu come out and take a look.

Upon learning of this, Fang Shu felt a chill in his heart.

However, he suppressed his displeasure, calmly stepped out of the cabin, and appeared on the top of the treasure ship.

When Fang Shu saw that a carriage being pulled by a giant snake was chasing after them, and that the other party was clearly a sea Immortal cultivator, a look of great interest appeared on Fang Shu face.

At this moment, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator took the opportunity to reveal something. "Those who have caught up are most likely sea demon Immortal cultivator— "

Master, we're not far from the Shattered Star Sea Market. There's an Immortal cultivator has reached the Golden Core Third Tribulation Sea Market, and he's a human, not a demon.

"If the owner just steps in to stop that bastard behind us, we can get there in time and receive his protection."

But Fang Shu carefully examined the carriage behind him, a look of amusement on his face. "Are the fellow Daoists in the sea also so hospitable?"

Upon hearing this, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator paused, unsure how to respond.

Fang Shu's voice rang out again. "Alright, since the other party has come with ill intentions, we naturally cannot be negligent."

Turn around and crash head-on into it!

Upon hearing this instruction, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

If the Immortal cultivator family had heard this order before killing the White Dust True Immortal, they would probably have hesitated a bit. But now, they were instantly energized and felt a sense of exhilaration.

He also wanted to see which fool in the sea dared to chase after him!

Sizzle!

The three-thousand-foot- Golden Core Treasure Ship suddenly plunged into the sea and disappeared in front of the black snake carriage behind it.

Just as the carriage behind thought Fang Shu and the others were about to escape into the water, the Golden Core Treasure Ship suddenly leaped up from the seabed again, carrying a roaring sound as it flew head-on towards the carriage.

The Immortal cultivator with vertical eyes on the vehicle frame noticed this and was momentarily stunned.

It had never seen such a strong response even from those few Western Continent Immortal cultivator who were associated with the Profound Teaching Sect.

"Young Master!?" Upon seeing this, the Turtle Immortal cultivator gripped the carriage tightly and called out urgently.

The Immortal cultivator with Vertical Eyes regained his senses, and a cold smile immediately appeared on his face, "What an unruly Vast Sea Immortal! Then let me see whether your bones are soft or hard!"

In the midst of the clash, within just ten breaths, both sides were able to clearly see who was standing opposite them.

Both sides still have a chance to back down.

But neither Fang Shu nor the vertical- Immortal cultivator immortal showed any emotion.

With a loud bang!

One boat and one aircraft collided head-on, their respective array lights flickering erratically, producing a metallic clanging sound.

As for the outcome of the collision, each side had its own merits and demerits.

Fang Shu's Golden Core Treasure Ship rammed the other party's carriage to a stop, dragging it for dozens of miles, and smashing the black-scaled giant snake that was pulling the carriage, leaving it bloodied and its scales shattered.

The enemy's vehicle forcefully broke through the treasure ship's formation, crashed onto the bow, and broke into the ship.

A hiss of an owl! Bang! Bang!

The several black-scaled giant snakes that had been towing the truck were still rolling around on the bow deck. Even though they were half-dead from the impact, they still...

The hundred-foot-long carriage frame was lifted up, making the Immortal cultivator and the Fang Shu on the frame level.

A strong sea breeze swept in, carrying the stench of blood, blowing past Fang Shu from Fang Shu, causing his sleeves to billow.

The vertical-eyed Immortal cultivator on the vehicle was covered in scales, like armor, with bone spurs growing out of the gaps, making it look quite fierce.

The creature's vertical eyes twitched, fixedly staring at its own heavily wounded black-scaled giant snake.

Although its face was covered by armor, its expression was definitely not good; it probably hadn't expected its giant snake to be in such a miserable state.

But what the beast didn't expect was that Fang Shu smiled at it.

The next moment.

Without uttering a word, Fang Shu sent a Peacock Feather flying out from his sleeve.

The Peacock Feather split into seven pieces and slashed directly at the vertical-eyed Immortal cultivator, turning its eyes into thin vertical lines.

"How dare you!!"

But the seven sword lights were filled with murderous intent, leaving no room for mercy!
