After a while, Han Xuanji was relieved only after confirming that no other Spirit of Hongmeng had invaded.
"It should be safe now. I just thoroughly searched every corner of the warship with my divine sense and didn't detect any other Spirit of Hongmeng."
Han Xuanji withdrew his divine sense and turned to Hun Qianling, speaking with a certainty in his tone, which completely put Hun Qianling at ease.
Hun Qianling nodded slightly, letting out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. You really scared me just now. I thought you were in danger."
"This Spirit of Hongmeng is too mysterious. Even Eternal Dao Master Realm cultivator would stumble if they weren't careful. You were able to kill it so easily; you are truly gifted."
Han Xuanji smiled, but didn't reply much. She then changed the subject, speaking solemnly:
"Fellow Qianling, I just checked the warship's energy status and found that the energy reserves are insufficient. We can no longer easily use the warship's attack system to hunt."
I will hunt down some Hongmeng Variant shortly. This will allow me to obtain cultivation resources and also save the warship's energy—a win-win situation.
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, Hun Qianling pondered for a moment and nodded.
To be honest, if Han Xuanji hadn't so easily slain the Spirit of Hongmeng, she wouldn't have agreed.
Before Han Xuanji could speak, Hun Qianling said:
"I frequently sail the Primordial Sea and am familiar with its environment. I know which Hongmeng Variant are easy to hunt and which should be avoided. With me by your side, I can teach you hunting techniques and lend a hand in times of crisis, making things safer for you."
Han Xuanji looked at Hun Qianling's sincere expression, his heart stirred slightly, and he could clearly feel her concern. He did not insist on refusing again and nodded gently:
"Very well, then I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Qianling."
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. We've been traveling together, so helping each other is only natural."
Hun Qianling smiled and waved her hand, then took the lead and walked towards the warship's exit, patiently giving instructions as she went.
"When hunting Hongmeng Variant, the first priority is to conceal one's own aura and avoid alerting powerful creatures in the vicinity. It is also important to choose a good location and a good target."
Secondly, you must pinpoint the target's scent and find its weakness to deliver a fatal blow; otherwise, the prey can easily escape.
The Hongmeng Flying Fish is docile and weak in attack. Its weakness lies in the dark red area on its central abdomen, making it the most suitable target for beginners. We'll start with it.
As she spoke, Hun Qianling activated the warship's search system, and then spent a long time selecting a suitable target.
"This one is good. It's large, and there aren't any powerful creatures around it. It's a good target."
Hun Qianling lightly tapped her fingertip, locking onto the location of the Hongmeng Flying Fish, and then directed the warship to approach the target.
Next, Hun Qianling handed Han Xuanji a bracelet, which, with a simple tap, would instantly provide him with a combat suit.
"The technology in the Eternal Continent is quite advanced..."
Han Xuanji pondered to himself, feeling that the combat suit provided him with considerable enhancements, not only offering defense but also concealing his aura. However, he also had to be careful not to be caught in some of the whirlpools and storms of the Primordial Sea.
No wonder Hun Qianling wanted to return to the Eternal Continent so much; there's not much point in being a king in the Chaos.
Having experienced the prosperity and convenience of big cities, they may find it somewhat difficult to adapt to the environment of small villages.
Then, a pale silver light wave emanated from the warship's control center, enveloping the two of them. Hun Qianling said softly:
"Alright, the warship can recall us at any time. If anything unexpected happens, we can just return."
"Um."
Han Xuanji nodded; the security was indeed excellent.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them flashed and silently landed in the Primordial Sea.
The Primordial Sea contained a powerful attraction, Han Xuanji used his Power of Eternity to easily resist it. At the same time, he probed the surrounding aura according to the target location previously locked by the warship.
In just a moment, Han Xuanji sensed the target's presence.
"Found it, it's just ahead."
Han Xuanji said softly, and quietly swam towards the direction of the fluctuation. Hun Qianling followed closely behind, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily, always paying attention to the movements around her to prevent any accidents from happening.
The two swam a short distance before they saw a Hongmeng Flying Fish with a pale golden luster swimming leisurely in the sea. It was about eight meters long, slightly shorter than the one that Hun Qianling had given to Han Xuanji. Its scales were fine and smooth, and it was surrounded by a faint Qi of Eternity. It was slowly absorbing the energy in the seawater, and it looked docile and completely unguarded.
Han Xuanji's eyes narrowed, Sword Dao Principle within his body quietly began to operate. A wisp of silver soul sword power condensed at his fingertips. He moved with extremely light steps, slowly approaching the Hongmeng Flying Fish. He remembered Hun Qianling's instructions and did not make a move rashly. Only when he was very close to the flying fish did the Hongmeng Flying Fish realize the abnormality. Its body suddenly stiffened, and then it turned around and tried to escape into the deep sea.
Seeing this, Han Xuanji instantly accelerated, raised his hand and waved, a condensed silver soul sword suddenly shot out, accurately hitting the tail of the Hongmeng Flying Fish. He did not kill it, but only used the sword force to suppress its speed, preventing it from escaping quickly.
Immediately afterward, Han Xuanji flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Hongmeng Flying Fish. He gathered a vast amount of Power of Eternity at his fingertips and gently pressed it on the fish's head. The eternal power slowly flowed into the fish through his fingertips, suppressing its struggles and blocking the flow of energy within its body.
The Hongmeng Flying Fish twisted its body repeatedly, trying to break free of its restraints, but it could not shake Han Xuanji's power. The Qi of Eternity around it gradually became disordered, and its struggles became weaker and weaker.
Although this Hongmeng Flying Fish is at the Eternal Dao Master Realm, it only instinctively increases its cultivation level and has no offensive capabilities. Its defense is also very weak. To be honest, even if Han Xuanji had not broken through to the Eternal Dao Master, he could probably wear it down, but it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.
Within moments, the Hongmeng Flying Fish ceased its struggles, the Qi of Eternity around it gradually dissipated, its eyes lost their luster, and it completely lost its vitality.
Han Xuanji lifted it up, feeling the energy contained within the fish's body, a smile appearing on his lips:
"All done. This Hongmeng Flying Fish is quite good."
Most importantly, the energy expenditure was not high, making it much easier than Han Xuanji had anticipated.
With a flash of silver light, the two were teleported back by the warship.
Han Xuanji handed the Hongmeng Flying Fish in his hand to Hun Qianling, his tone sincere.
"Fellow Daoist Qianling, you were in seclusion breaking through your cultivation, but the commotion from the Spirit of Hongmeng just now interrupted you. You can take this Hongmeng Flying Fish and continue your breakthrough in peace. After you break through, I will go hunt more Hongmeng Variant to replenish our cultivation resources and help you with some of the burden."
Looking at the Hongmeng Flying Fish in Han Xuanji's hand, and then at his calm and gentle expression, Hun Qianling felt a warmth in her heart. A hint of emotion flashed in her eyes. Without refusing, she gently accepted the Hongmeng Flying Fish and nodded.
"Then thank you very much, Fellow Xuanji. I will remember your kindness."
I will break through to the next level as soon as possible. After that, I will hunt with you and lend you a hand so that you won't have to risk your life alone.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, watching Hun Qianling turn and return to the warship's training room before turning his gaze back to the vast Primordial Sea. With this hunting experience, obtaining Cultivation Resources would be much easier in the future, and he could use these resources to continue improving his strength.
Having grown accustomed to a comfortable life, it's alright to experience hardship occasionally.
Who says fishing isn't a form of spiritual practice?
