Conjecture

After spending three hours rushing to the Tianxuan Sea Area, Venerable Yaoguang and his companion met up with Venerable Tianxuan.

Venerable Tianxuan immediately pointed at Venerable Yaoguang and cursed, "Your Yaoguang Immortal Sect truly lives up to its name! You managed to bring someone who's been dead for so long back to life! Look at the trouble she's caused! If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter isn't over!"

Venerable Yaoguang looked down at the channel shrouded in black mist on the sea below, his expression darkened. Ahead of the channel, the entire Tianxuan Island appeared to have been cleaved in two by a sword.

Although the casualties were not great, the Tianxuan Sect's protective formation was destroyed, and it is estimated that they will never be able to create such a powerful protective formation again.

"Let's go, let's chase after them and see what's going on," Venerable Yaoguang said coldly.

After instructing his junior brother to stay behind and oversee the situation Venerable Tianxuan immediately followed after them with his senior brother.

To be honest, he really didn't want to face that thing, but if he didn't go, and something really happened to Yaoguang and the other two, it would be a loss for the entire Luo Heaven Sea. Normally, it wouldn't matter, but at this time, every Nascent Soul expert was extremely important, as they were all related to the continuation of the Luo Heaven Sea, and they absolutely could not be sacrificed for nothing.

After a short while, the group caught up with the dilapidated ship, but no one made a move; they simply watched quietly.

Venerable Tianxuan spoke first, "As you have all seen, at least 100,000 mortals have died along the way. Although I don't care much about it, Yaoguang should not be shortchanged on any compensation it deserves."

But Venerable Yaoguang acted as if he hadn't heard, looking at the large ship and muttering, "Where is she going? What is her purpose?"

"How would I know if you ask me? Why don't you go up and ask her yourself!" Venerable Tianxuan said angrily. If it were anything else, he would have already used his Spirit Treasure to kill her, but now he was facing Yaoqiong, a strange being, and her strength seemed to be at the Spirit Severing Realm. He didn't dare to provoke her.

After all, although she has caused heavy casualties, she is still relatively stable and is only advancing in a straight line. If she is really angered, the entire Tianxuan Sea may be destroyed.

Ignoring Venerable Tianxuan's clamor, Venerable Yaoguang pondered for a moment before murmuring, "Judging from this direction, they should be heading towards the Tianquan Sea Area, and it seems to be on the same line as the North Sea Gate..."

At this Venerable Yaoguang's eyes flickered slightly. "Could it be... she's going to Heavenly South!"

"Go to Heavenly South?" Venerable Tianxuan was startled by this conjecture, but after a moment's thought, he felt it made some sense.

"I'm afraid her target isn't Heavenly South, but the Heavenly Desolation Domain, the true Immortal Realm of cultivation!"

Immediately, Venerable Tianxuan forced a smile, "I wonder what kind of strange thing this is. Could it possibly be planning to become an immortal? Can it even become an immortal? Isn't it afraid of being struck dead by lightning in the Heavenly Desolation Domain?"

"That's not important." Venerable Yaoguang shook his head, his eyes shining with longing. "Whether she can become an immortal is unknown, but we have a chance to become immortals! As long as we go to the true Immortal Realm of cultivation, given our talent, we might not be guaranteed to become immortals, but at least we have a chance to achieve the Spirit Severing Body Integration stages!"

"You mean follow her?" Venerable Tianxuan glanced at Venerable Yaoguang, who was getting excited, and poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Do you know how far it is from the Luo Heaven Sea to Heavenly South? Do you know how many Demon Beast and savage beasts there are along the way? Don't even mention following her, you might not even be qualified to do so on the next level."

"Instead of considering that, you might as well pin your hopes on that teleportation array." Venerable Tianxuan sneered, "But right now, the entire Luo Heaven Sea is in turmoil, and it looks like the Divine Continent is in danger of sinking. You still want to run? Where can you run to?"

"We're all just pieces of rotten wood on this broken ship. If the ship sinks, we'll all die!"

"Since that's the case, let's just leave her be. It's better to let her leave so we don't have to keep watching her."

"You don't need to worry about her. Go and support the Tianquan Sect. They're almost at their breaking point. Although the Tianshu Sect is annoying, now is definitely not the time for internal strife!"

"We're heading to Tianshu; farewell."

Venerable Yaoguang speaking, he instantly vanished from the spot.

Suddenly, Venerable Tianxuan was about to leave, paused, looking at the figure that had turned back, and then murmured, "Wasn't he supposed to be going to support Tianshu? Why did he run back?"

On the other side, on Yaoguang Island, Shen Ge looked at the unrestrained white peacock outside the island with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. It had finally come.

However, this was within his expectations; after all, it was Demon Beast, so it would be strange if it didn't come.

Not far behind Shen Ge, Fairy Miaoyin looked silently in the direction of Sea Spirit Island. Although all the living forces of their Thousand Sounds Workshop had been transferred to Yaoguang Island, the mortals there had probably already perished.

Gu Ye patted her shoulder and comforted her, "There's nothing we can do. It's not our fault. We've done our best. Look at the East Sea Gate, countless comrades have perished at sea. Although we did this for our own sake, we couldn't stop them."

"Afterwards, go back and see if the island has sunk. If it has, choose another one. Don't choose ordinary people anymore. That way, if something happens in the future, you'll have less guilt when you relocate."

At the highest point of Yaoguang Island, Jixing quietly watched the white peacock attacking the formation outside through the sect's protective array, his expression neither sad nor happy, as if he were watching a performance.

Half an hour later, Bai Yu stopped attacking and transformed into human form, coldly staring at Yaoguang Island. After a long while, she spoke, "This turtle shell is tough enough. You bunch of turtles are good at hiding."

"Old man, I'm leaving. I'm not playing with you anymore."

Bai Yu transformed back into a peacock and headed back the way he came. Jixing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to intercept him. Although the sect leader was already on his way back, it would still take him an hour to arrive. He wasn't confident that he could hold off the white peacock for an hour.

In the past, he might have tried to stop it from escaping, since he had never fought Demon Beast of the same level before. But the fact that Tianxing had been helplessly taken over his body before shattered his confidence. He was afraid, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold out for an hour, afraid that he would lose his life because of it.

Tianxing's lesson taught him a valuable lesson: when facing Demon Beast, one should never fight them one-on-one without absolute certainty.

Shen Ge glanced at the unmoved Grand Elder of the Yaoguang Immortal Sect at the highest point. His gaze remained calm and unchanged, but what he was thinking was anyone's guess.
