Leaving aside the ferocious aquatic beasts, the various restrictions left behind by your ancestors in the Vast Sea are enough to make you suffer.
However, these are all crises that can be defended against and overcome. The real crisis does not come from ferocious beasts or various restrictions, but from the human heart!
Besides Luo River Valley and Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, other forces are likely involved in this entry into the Vast Sea.
As Golden Immortal cultivator, I cannot enter to protect you.
However, you must remember that the greatest crisis comes from disciples of other sects.
The struggle for the place of inheritance has always been brutal, and no one will give up the opportunities on the path of cultivation.
Once you enter the Vast Sea, be prepared to be an enemy of everyone!
Well, so I discussed it with your sect leader and decided to send the five of you in together.
The time is in half a month. Make your own preparations and come to Qinghe Daoist Sanctuary together in half a month.
Of course, this trip to the Vast Sea is fraught with danger. If you have any doubts, please inform the sect leader as soon as possible, and you will not need to go to the Qinghe Daoist Sanctuary!
After finishing his speech, Ancestor Yun He stopped explaining the reasons to the crowd, leaving only Sect Master Yunlong to watch over everyone.
Xu Long, hidden in the crowd, was secretly observing everyone's expressions.
As for the crisis the patriarch spoke of, everyone had already anticipated it deep down.
But when the patriarch himself said it, everyone in the room was still a little nervous.
After all, the disciples sent out this time are the future of the Jade Screen Sect School, and their lives and fortunes are at stake.
The dangers within the Vast Sea are unpredictable, and this journey may very well be our last. But what path on the road to immortality is truly smooth?
Xu Long, standing in the crowd, noticed that even the patriarch seemed somewhat solemn when he uttered those words.
The expressions of the five people present changed several times, but Yun Peng's face remained resolute.
Xu Long guessed that he probably already knew what treasures were hidden in the Vast Sea.
He returned only to fight Yun Feng. He was determined to go down into the Vast Sea to help his senior brother Yun Kun. The relationship between the two of them was indeed extraordinary.
Yun Feng's face was also resolute, after all, he was a disciple of the sect leader Yunlong.
If we back down on this matter, we will be criticized no matter what.
Furthermore, ever since Yun Feng became the senior disciple, he has been constantly compared to Yun Kun behind his back.
Even though his Dao Heart was firm, he would not let go of this opportunity to prove himself.
Yunya stood at the back of the group of five, and Xu Long wasn't quite sure what he was thinking.
But based on this speculation alone, it's clear that with his extremely high aspirations, he will not lag behind the crowd.
Xu Long himself had also decided to go to the Vast Sea.
The importance of the place of inheritance has been explained by Ancestor Yun He, but Ancestor Yun He was unaware that there were dragon-shaped creatures within it.
What exactly is true inheritance?
Xu Long pondered the young man's origins, and perhaps some vague answers had already been found to the previously mysterious matter.
He absolutely had to go on this trip to the Vast Sea, because when Ancestor Yun He revealed the location of the inheritance, he had already glimpsed something extraordinary within it.
Xu Long's intuition told him that there must be a great opportunity in the Vast Sea!
After observing everyone's reactions, Xu Long suddenly remembered that Yun Feng was also there.
This girl is different from them; she is a candidate cultivated by the family's cultivation group, so she must have many things to consider.
The patriarch actually wants all five of them to go down together, which is equivalent to gambling with the future of the sect.
If one of them were to fall and die...
The consequences would be truly unimaginable.
Therefore, Xu Long guessed that in such an important matter, she would definitely follow Elder Yun Hong's decision.
But then she thought that, given the caution of those family cultivators, Yun Feng might give up this time.
This journey to the Vast Sea presents both risks and opportunities, as Xu Long had previously tested with Divination Talisman.
The crisis he faced was no small matter; under that square, oppressive structure, he had no power to fight back.
Furthermore, the patriarch also said that there are other sects participating in this battle in the Vast Sea, which is destined to be an extremely fierce struggle.
Therefore, before entering the Vast Sea, he must bring the young man along, for this is an opportunity that belongs to him.
And perhaps it is up to him to break the situation where he himself is powerless against that suppressing force.
With a variety of thoughts on his mind, Xu Long, standing in the crowd, had made up his mind that he would do his utmost this time!
No matter what obstacles lie ahead, Xu Long will crush them all.
No matter what dangers lie ahead in the Vast Sea, Xu Long will brave the winds and waves.
True strength always resides atop the mountain peak, and true courage lies in facing challenges head-on despite knowing of them.
After lingering before the crowd for a long time, and seeing that everyone understood the meaning of his words, Ancestor Yun He sighed and continued:
"On the Great Dao, there is no mercy or righteousness. In the Vast Sea, never harbor false kindness. True respect for your opponent is to personally annihilate them! Sending you disciples out this time is truly due to the sect's difficulties. If you are able to return, I will personally open an altar to preach and explain to you what the realm of the Twofold Immortal is!"
"We are ashamed, but entrusted by the Patriarch, we will surely return to listen to his teachings!"
Upon hearing that Ancestor Yun He would personally preach, Xu Long and the others present all looked excited.
How many times in a lifetime can Golden Immortal cultivator preach?
Even the sect leader, Yunlong, had never experienced it alone.
Among the younger generation of disciples, only Yun Kun had spoken to the patriarch alone. Unexpectedly, this trip to the Vast Sea had this benefit.
Xu Long and the others bowed deeply to Ancestor Yun He, Ancestor Yun He slowly nodded in return.
After scanning the five people in the room, a rare look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
Many years ago, wasn't I one of them?
But as things changed, after he was fortunate enough to become an ancestor, all his former companions were just memories.
It's unknown how many will return from this journey to the Vast Sea. Everyone says that Golden Immortal are ruthless and without desire, but Yun He also longs to support the sect.
But on the path of life, one is often not in control of one's own destiny; it all depends on one's own fate.
"Besides the matter of the Vast Sea, there is another matter I must inform you of. The strange phenomena in the Vast Sea are also related to the ferocious beast clan. The Duck Beast King attacked my Jade Screen Sect School some time ago, but I defeated him. This fellow is treacherous and cunning; he must be hiding some nefarious intentions. Some time ago, I received a message from the Saint Daoist Sanctuary: if you see the Duck Beast King in the Boundless Wilderness, you must inform the sect immediately!"
Duck Beast King, the Saint Daoist Sanctuary...
Xu Long was deeply shocked when he heard what Ancestor Yun He said.
Others may not know the strangeness of the Duck Beast King, but he knows it all too well.
After fighting Zhenjun at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary, this beast fled on its own.
Moreover, its purpose is quite strange. Is the ability to come and go freely at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary just to make people run around exhaustingly?
Xu Long had long harbored doubts, and when Ancestor Yun He raised them, his expression changed several times in an instant.
Because he knew not only that the Duck Beast King was strange in the Boundless Wilderness, but also that someone seemed to have been searching for it.
That streak of light, as fast as lightning, was seen after the Duck Beast King.
What kind of power does a vast, dark horde of ferocious beasts possess?
But they were instantly annihilated by that streak of light!
The behavior of the Duck Beast King was highly suspicious. Xu Long always felt that it was leading everyone astray when he was at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
But in the end, it escaped on its own, leaving no one with any useful clues.
Now that the ancestor brought up the topic, a flash of inspiration seemed to strike Xu Long, and all sorts of suspicious clues were connected at this moment.
The Duck Beast King, leading the beast tide, appeared at the beginning of the strange phenomenon in the Vast Sea.
And then, somewhere, he escaped back, only to be chased and forced to flee for his life?
It used its speed to outrun its opponent, and then launched a beast tide at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
Based on what the ancestor said about the Saint Daoist Sanctuary, Xu Long guessed that the person he was chasing was from the Saint Daoist Sanctuary.
Are they chasing the Duck Beast King?
Did the Duck Beast King offend the Saint?
Or is there a secret hidden somewhere else, unknown to us?
Xu Long's mind raced, and he felt as if he was about to grasp something.
But the clues were too few, and they always seemed to run out at the most crucial point, leaving his thoughts stuck in his head.
He had experienced the treacherous nature of the Duck Beast King before, but he didn't know how it had offended the Saint Daoist Sanctuary.
The arrest warrants issued have greatly shocked the sects in the Boundless Wilderness.
The only clue we have now is that this wicked beast is being pursued by people from the Saint Daoist Sanctuary.
That lightning-fast streak wasn't just meant to annihilate the Duck Beast King; Xu Long also deeply feared it.
Because in divination, that stream of light appeared alongside something that was being suppressed.
From the Duck Beast King and the strange phenomena of the Vast Sea to the present-day Saint Daoist Sanctuary...
No wonder the ancestor said the situation was unclear; all these things were mixed together, making it seem like one was caught in a whirlpool from which one could not extricate oneself.
Even Xu Long didn't know how many forces were eyeing him.
After all, he had fought against the Duck Beast King before!
With a sudden realization, Xu Long quickly came to his senses and, after scanning the room, discovered that everyone's eyes were on him.
A thought immediately told me that they were remembering their story of "fighting the Beast King ".
Xu Long quickly composed himself and saw that Yun Feng and the others were already casting deep smiles at him.
The Ancestor Yun He present also had a mysterious and unpredictable appearance.
As he looked at everyone, his gaze lingered on Xu Long for a fleeting moment.
He was aware of the praise from the Perfected Lord Pinglu, and the trouble caused by the Duck Beast King this time was truly appalling.
Even the people from the Saint Daoist Sanctuary have personally come out, which is bound to stir up another bloody storm in this Boundless Wilderness.
Will their own Jade Screen Sect School be drawn into this?
Yun He was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and the thought of entering the Vast Sea at this time certainly gave him a sense of turmoil.
After explaining a series of matters, Ancestor Yun He waved his hand wearily, signaling that everyone could leave.
Led by the Sect Master Yunlong, the group paid their respects to Ancestor Yun He once more before departing from the mountain.
Upon returning to Beyond the Cloudy Heavens, Xu Long specifically inquired with Yun Feng and learned that the so-called defensive talisman was indeed made by Elder Yun Hong.
This is where things get tricky.
Yun Feng noticed something amiss in Xu Long's expression and casually remarked from the side:
"Junior brother, obtaining the talisman shouldn't be difficult for you. After all, Elder Yun Hong particularly admires you right now. Surely you're not unwilling to spend even this small amount?"
Seeing Yun Feng's ambiguous smile, Xu Long knew that the guy had misunderstood him.
They were all disciples of the same sect, so how could he not know about Elder Yun Hong's recent actions?
He estimated that Xu Long had probably already been swayed by the honey trap by this point.
Xu Long, standing beside him, was utterly bewildered. He had only discussed Yun Feng's situation with Yun Ya, so how did it seem like everyone knew about it now?
There was no need to hide too much from Yun Feng; he had a pretty good impression of this senior brother.
"To be honest, Senior Brother, I have already politely declined Elder Yun Hong's offer. However, I only learned about talismans after the fact, so I am now in a dilemma..."
"What? You actually refused...?"
"Senior brother! How can we allow the power of cause and effect to constantly bind us on the path of cultivation? Our immortal paths are still uncertain, and we are not even stable at the Onefold Immortal. If we indulge in this, how can we listen to Ancestor Yun He's lectures?"
It wasn't until Xu Long said these words that Yun Feng, who was standing beside him, realized what was happening.
This fellow wasn't at the same level of the Immortal Realm as them; he was only at the Middle Stage Earth Immortal.
Even the Onefold Immortal is not yet stable, and there is still a long way to go on the Great Dao. It would indeed be unwise to get entangled with the power of cause and effect at this time.
It was rare to Yunmo so clear about his situation, and Yun Feng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but nod in appreciation.
"I am extremely pleased that you have gained some insights, Junior Brother. You should know that although you are able to challenge those above you, your true realm has not yet reached the Profound Immortal Realm realm. Without reaching the Profound Immortal Realm realm, one cannot aspire to the Twofold Immortal Path, so how can one stand firm in the world for long? Junior Brother is very intelligent, and I originally thought you would become addicted, but I did not expect that you would have the will to restrain yourself. This is truly a fortunate thing."
Yun Feng looked at Xu Long with a meaningful gaze and said something.
As the sect leader's disciple, he naturally wouldn't have too many entanglements with Yun Hong and the others.
However, given their decline, the family cultivators would definitely seek outside help, and he knew that Yun Peng would not agree to Yun Hong's request.
Yun Feng would definitely look down on other cultivators, so Xu Long is the best choice.
"Senior brother, you are wise! I am currently the source of your troubles regarding defensive talismans!"
"Junior brother, don't worry. Although you rejected Elder Yun Hong's good intentions, I believe Elder Yun Hong is not a petty person. If you really want to obtain the defensive talisman, just go to Elder Yun Hong Yun Hong in person, explain your reasons, and he will be a reasonable person."
As Yun Feng said this, a playful expression appeared on his face, just like Yun Ya's. In his heart, he was also waiting to see how Xu Long would face Yun Hong.
At this point, he explained the solution, and Xu Long turned and headed towards the mountain where Yun Hong was.
But Yun Feng knows that Yun Feng is also with Yun Hong at this time. What kind of expression will the two have when they meet?
After receiving news from Yun Feng, Xu Long turned his cloud and headed straight for the mountain where Yun Hong was located through the thick fog.
Meanwhile, in the mountains where Yun Hong was, Yun Feng was discussing the ancestor's decision with her father.
"Sending out all five of you, Ancestor, isn't this too risky? You must know that in the Vast Sea, you five face not only opportunities, but also omnipresent dangers!"
"Our children also feel that this is too risky. This is a matter of great importance, so we beg Father to make the decision. The Ancestor did not force a decision, but only asked us to consider it carefully."
Yun Feng sat upright opposite Yun Hong with her eyes closed, and she had no intention of objecting to the ancestor's opinion.
