Within the rolling black storm below, vortexes continuously emerged, and after accumulating for a while, streaks of golden light or crystals would occasionally fly out.
As expected, the number of storms is the highest in previous storm seasons, even in previous years.
The Nascent Soul cultivators made frequent attacks, but because there were so many of them, they didn't manage to unleash their full power for a while.
Chen Shuangbai did not make a move immediately, but instead adopted the mindset of a fisherman, standing calmly in the void, as if he were sitting on a fishing platform.
"My lord."
Zhanlu took a step forward, her Divine Sense stirred, and a hint of interest appeared in her eyes.
Chen Shuangbai looked up at her and asked, "You also want to make a move?"
Zhanlu smiled and said, "It's rare to achieve the Nascent Soul, and we're at sea... Am I not allowed to show off a little?"
"Alright, go ahead."
"Great!"
With Chen Shuangbai's permission, a faint blue light appeared in Zhanlu's eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened.
Her figure swayed slightly, and she raised her hand, sending down a stream of azure light that silently disappeared into the Spirit-Eroding Hei Sha Below.
The Hei Sha wind was originally a vicious thing that specifically corrupted the Primordial Spirit and corroded Law Treasure. Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator dared not let it touch them easily. However, Zhanlu's hand... fell into it, but it was like a fish entering water. Not only was it not corroded by the Hei Sha, but a layer of soft blue water light rose all over its body, as if it were swimming in the sea.
"This fellow Xuanhai... possesses truly remarkable skills."
Gao Ling's eyelids twitched at the sight, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Chen Shuangbai smiled slightly but did not reply.
Zhanlu spotted a vortex, from which several golden rays suddenly shot out. Upon closer inspection, she realized they were several [ Flowing Light Divine Sand ].
The rarity of [ Flowing Light Divine Sand ] is even greater than that of [ Voidbright Mystic Crystal ].
This immediately drew the attention of several Nascent Soul nearby.
"Fellow Daoist, it's fate that we've met. How about you spare a few grains for me?"
A Nascent Soul Cultivator burst into laughter, raised his hand, and hundreds of white silk ribbons danced in the wind, seemingly possessing a spirit, wrapping around the azure divine light released by Zhanlu.
Zhanlu merely raised her bright eyes to look at this person, her smile not fading, but instead she raised her hand and formed a Law Seals.
Waaaaah--!
Like a desolate yet long whale cry from the deep sea, the azure divine light trembled in mid-air, enveloping the boundless water vapor below, and transformed into a dark blue Mystic Whale with a long trail of watery light.
The giant whale opened its mouth and let out a long, ethereal cry. The sound waves reverberated outwards, causing the hundreds of white ribbons to be shaken back and rolled away like a spider web scattered by a gale, unable to reassemble.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator made the move changed his expression slightly, clearly not expecting this seemingly delicate female cultivator to possess such abilities.
He snorted coldly, about to unleash his Divine Ability again, when he saw the giant whale phantom suddenly whip its tail, instantly bursting apart amidst boundless water vapor. Judging by the force of the impact, even a divine mountain would likely suffer greatly!
But this creature refused to believe it and raised its hand to strike out. Streams of yellow-green Divine Ability light appeared, transforming into the shapes of hundreds of birds, overlapping and converging into a long yellow-green wind that struck the illusory image of the Mystic Whale.
With a deafening roar, the long yellow-green wind that this person had created with his Divine Ability was instantly knocked away, sending him flying back several feet.
Although he wasn't injured, he was still a little embarrassed.
As it slammed into the man, the illusory image of the Mystic Whale began to circle around the vortex, drawing in the boundless water vapor below, which gradually transformed into a vast, dark ocean, allowing Zhanlu to absorb the [ Flowing Light Divine Sand ] and [ Voidbright Mystic Crystal ] gushing forth from within.
She then achieved the Nascent Soul, and the wondrous power of the [ Golden Scripture of Heavenly One Generating Water ] that Zhanlu cultivated gradually began to manifest.
The phantom of the Mystic Whale circled the vortex, drawing in boundless water vapor to form a vast, dark ocean that enveloped an area of several miles in radius.
Whenever any Flowing Light Divine Sand or Voidbright Mystic Crystal surged out of the vortex, they would be quietly swept away by the vast, dark ocean and fall into Zhanlu's hands.
In less than a few dozen breaths, Zhanlu's gains had already surpassed those of many others.
Such a swaggering display naturally attracted the attention of others immediately.
The Arrayed Mystery Sect, Lotus Temple, Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, and Flood Dragon Clan were quite far away, and it was clear that Zhanlu came from the Jade Spring Sect and was even more wary of Chen Shuangbai, so they did not come forward.
But if they don't test the waters, there will always be those who can't stand it and try to snatch those spiritual resources back from Zhanlu.
boom!
A touch of eerie green landed on the Xuanhai, and in an instant, it spread out, transforming into an even larger ocean of eerie fire.
The eerie green flames continued to rise, but they lacked the intense heat and ferocity of ordinary true fire. Instead, they appeared light and airy, and a strong sulfurous odor rose into the sky from them.
From this ocean of ghostly fire, countless green ghostly claws emerged, extending in all directions.
In just a few breaths, the gains were also substantial.
But that's all.
However, many ghostly claws simultaneously probed into the Xuanhai formed by Zhanlu 'Divine Ability. They were fast and had the ability to separate the Xuanhai. In just a few breaths, they managed to seize a considerable amount of Voidbright Mystic Crystal from Zhanlu.
Zhanlu smiled slightly as she met the gaze of True Lord Tingqiao.
"Fellow Daoist, this is... rather unethical?"
Tingqiao, dressed in black robes that fluttered in the wind, smiled faintly, his face gentle. "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I haven't mastered this Divine Ability for very long... hence it's still somewhat out of control."
Although he said that, his hands didn't slow down at all.
Taking advantage of the brief pause in their conversation, they snatched a considerable amount of Voidbright Mystic Crystal from Zhanlu's "mouth".
"Fellow Xuanhai!"
Seeing Gao Ling was about to speak when Zhanlu gently raised a delicate hand to interrupt him.
Then, a rare look of interest appeared in the eyes of the True Lord of the Xuanhai, and he said, "So, it was you who made the first move, fellow Daoist?"
This statement sounds ambiguous.
Tingqiao, he was indeed on high alert, secretly forming Law Seals in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Zhanlu raised a delicate hand and gently touched the Xuanhai below, which was formed by her Divine Ability.
Boom!
The entire vast expanse of dark ocean seemed to have been plunged into by a divine mountain, and then it erupted violently, with countless dark rays of light surging in all directions like a tsunami, all in an instant.
No matter how powerful the magical Law Treasure were or how powerful the Dharma body was, they could not withstand more than three breaths under the extremely terrifying pressure brought by the unrestrained flow of the ocean. They were then directly knocked away, causing their Divine Ability to become unstable, their Qi and Blood to become disordered, and even their Dantian to shake.
