Unrest in the Ten Thousand Reefs Sea Area!
After this incident, the treasure ship continued its eastward journey!
They encountered numerous minor demons along the way, but few Second-Tier Demon Beast. However, even these low-level sea monsters were still quite valuable...
This is probably what they mean by "many grains of sand make a tower".
They even encountered several uninhabited islands with rather pleasant environments, which they included on their nautical charts to enrich their collection of nautical charts...
After all, most nautical charts on the market are one-dimensional, depicting only some well-known sea areas.
The truly valuable sea areas, or certain blessed islands and areas rich in Spiritual Qi, have always been closely guarded secrets...
Which power that operates at sea doesn't possess an exclusive nautical chart?!
Unfortunately, when the Eastern Li Sect Eastern Li Sect was destroyed, its sea charts were deliberately destroyed, and no complete version was left behind...
Otherwise, there would be no need for all this trouble.
One of the goals of this expedition was to hunt monsters and enrich our sea map. Don't underestimate this monster-hunting operation...
But the real purpose is to formally integrate into the Eight Immortals Sea!
What you hear and see can never compare to the reality of experiencing something firsthand; experience is what the Qin Clan truly lacks...
The days that followed--
The Beichuan made its way along the seas, sometimes hunting hordes of demons, sometimes surveying the waters, sometimes exploring islands, and sometimes documenting natural disasters encountered at sea...
To compile what one has seen and heard into a book and store it within the clan for future generations to learn from and draw upon. This is the essence of inheritance!
Especially on some unknown islands, they even found many rare and precious treasures!
There are Spirit Plant long extinct in the outside world, as well as the cave abode of reclusive cultivators who Rogue Cultivator. There are exotic Demon Beast that rule the island, and there are also demonic cultivators hidden in the secret island...
Each island is like a blind box.
You never know what you'll encounter on the next island.
It could be an opportunity, or it could be death...
Even the demonic forces wiped out four or five large and small demonic sects along the way!
The smaller groups consisted of only a few dozen Warrior, while the larger ones had only one or two Qi Condensation cultivators. Qin Mingyuan didn't even need to lift a finger; Qin Xin'an and his two companions alone...
That's enough to handle the vast majority of dangers!
But it must be said--
After several exchanges, Qin Xin'an and his companions were having a smooth run of fighting, but they discovered that the cultivation Cultivation Method in the Eight Immortals Sea were in no way inferior to those on the mainland...
In some aspects, it is even slightly stronger than the mainland's Dharma Sect!
Especially the Evil Method within the demonic path, in terms of their sheer wickedness...
It even far exceeds the understanding of ordinary people, especially the path of cultivation using living beings, which is the most prosperous, with many Dharma Sect similar to the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method]!
However, its usage is even worse!
If a close relative is used to refine the medicine and consume it, the entire lineage will inherit the same ability, which can forcibly enhance one's aptitude, and even the effects will be much stronger...
However, this Dharma Sect is inhumane and has extremely strict conditions for use.
That's why it didn't spread, and very few people used it...
Its demonic nature is extraordinary!
Many demonic Dharma Sect require the lives of loved ones to be sacrificed in order to master supreme Devil Cultivation Method, sometimes even involving the extermination of family members...
When you finally reach the point where you can no longer cultivate yourself, then you must create your own life!
Finally, they use their descendants' bloodline for cultivation, which is utterly inhumane. And in order to protect themselves, the descendants will constantly rebel...
They even schemed against their own ancestors, staging a scene of filial piety between grandfather and grandson!
Therefore--
Among the Eight Immortals Sea, Lineage- based forces are not common...
This can be seen from the eight major sects. All eight Golden Core forces pass down their knowledge in the form of sects!
Among the Eight Immortals Sea, the strongest Lineage power is probably only one family with three Dao Foundation...
They're not even as powerful as the Qin Clan!
If we're being honest, while the Qin Clan might not be the most powerful force in the Eight Immortals Sea, they are certainly the most powerful Lineage in the Eight Immortals Sea...
That's certainly true!
A few months later -- the Ten Thousand Reefs Sea Area.
After several months of sailing, the Beichuan finally arrived at this warm-water area...
From afar, the colorful coral islands are scattered across the sea, especially at night...
Its radiance is dazzling, like a glittering galaxy!
The sea monsters roam in schools, and occasionally one can see crab monsters the size of mountains, and Lightning Sea Eel tens of meters long...
There are also half-beast, half-fish Crocodile Sea Beast, and Six-Armed Garo whose screams sound like the wailing of ghosts, covered in sharp spikes, resembling giant turtles from islands...
The number of Second-Tier Demon Beast has increased significantly, and the seemingly beautiful sea surface hides a hidden danger!
Although it was fraught with danger...
But at the same time, it also brings opportunities!
Relying on the Beichuan, this ocean-going treasure ship, Qin Xin'an and his two companions were more than capable of dealing with most Second-Tier Demon Beast, and they reaped considerable gains in a short time...
They even learned the local folk remedies, using treasures to lure demons!
They lured and killed several Second-Tier demons. Roughly calculated, this trip yielded seven Second-Tier sea demons and several thousand first-tier sea demons...
The total value is as high as thousands of Qing Coin!
The three of them, Qin Xin'an and his companions, received at least forty or fifty Qing Coin, equivalent to nearly two years' worth of salary—a considerable sum...
In comparison--
Qin Mingyuan, who was leading the team, was much calmer. His heterochromatic pupils emitted an eerie light in the darkness, and his aura...
He had actually reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Condensation!
However, he has always claimed to be at the Qi Condensation Fourth Layer, deliberately concealing his cultivation level...
Following his father Qin Zhao's teachings: Never be careless or complacent, always have a backup plan in mind to deal with any crisis that may arise at any time!
This cautious approach has greatly benefited Qin Mingyuan throughout his journey...
Including right now--
Even tonight, with the moon shining brightly and the water seemingly calm and peaceful, Qin Mingyuan never let his guard down, occasionally using his Spirit-Observing Dao Eyes...
Explore the surroundings thoroughly, leaving no blind spot!
But at that very moment, several figures, miles away, sped toward the Beichuan, the sea surging behind them...
In the shadows, more than ten beastly figures could be seen, closely following the group!
His pupils trembled, Qin Mingyuan frowned, and then gave the order:
"Martial law on the entire ship!"
"Install Spirit Stone, activate the three core hubs, open the defensive and offensive arrays, and prepare the high-level Warrior cannons!"
"Xin'an, you will be stationed on the Beichuan to maintain the core hub."
"Xinmu, Xinzhou, Third-Grade Fire Virtue Formation!"
Having said that--
Qin Mingyuan flashed and stood on the treasure ship, stepping into Void. Qin Xinmu and Qin Xinzhou, the siblings, followed closely behind...
On the treasure ship, the spirit slaves awoke from their dreams one by one...
Each one moved swiftly like the wind, pouring Spirit Stone into the three cores, activating the defensive array, and instantly a giant tortoise phantom enveloped the ship!
Twenty Law Artifact cannons rose from both sides of the deck...
A group of high-level Warrior took their positions one after another, and then poured their True Essence into the cannons to activate the array patterns, thereby condensing a fireball Law Technique!
In the sky--
Qin Mingyuan and the other two simultaneously Hand Seals, instantly converging Spiritual Power around Qin Mingyuan. He then formed a single hand Hand Seals, and a lifelike fire dragon appeared...
It then revealed its form, ready to deliver a devastating blow!
