The Human Race Flourished, the Demon Race Waned!

No sooner had they received True Person Qingshan's message than a beam of white light broke through the formation and landed on the mountaintop. The person who arrived was none other than Yun Du.

True Person Yun Du stepped forward, his expression calm.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, news has arrived from the Azure Light Gate."

"Old Ghost Qingshan is all ready. The Water-Avoidance Pearl, the trapping array, and the Demon-Luring Incense are all prepared. He urges us to set off immediately."

Shi Jian stood up, his massive body shaking off the lightning liquid, and then his body rapidly shrank to the size of an ordinary black bear.

"That old man is more anxious than us."

"That's right, my lifespan is coming to an end, who wouldn't be anxious?"

Yun Du stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "However, with our departure, White Cloud Commandery will be left vulnerable. I fear the Fenghe Sect might take advantage of this to launch an attack..."

"In a few days, we will jointly announce to the public that we are in seclusion for quiet meditation."

"The power under White Cloud Temple remains unchanged, maintaining its dominant stance. As a result, Fenghe Sect Qingxu strength, and given Old Monster Mu's cautious nature, he would never dare to act rashly."

"This will also allow us to extricate ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian nodded slightly in agreement, acknowledging that Yun Du was indeed quite capable.

Two days later.

News then spread that the abbot of White Cloud Temple and Ancestor Shi had both gone into seclusion, and the sect's protective array shone brightly, maintaining a state of light alert.

However, the elite disciples who went out for training, as well as the various forces in White Cloud Commandery, continued to act as usual, showing no signs of anything amiss...

at the same time.

An inconspicuous cyan flying boat silently sailed out of the Cloud Sword Mountain Range, heading straight for Qingzhou Commandery...

Three hundred li Azure Light Gate, atop a desolate mountain.

True Person Qingshan had been waiting for a long time.

He wore a blue robe, and his figure was even more hunched than it had been six months ago, with brown patches covering his exposed skin.

His entire being exuded an aura of Decay and death that he could not conceal.

Upon seeing Shi Jian and Yun Du appear, a glint flashed in True Person Qingshan's turbid eyes. He only had thirty or forty years left to live, so he had to hurry.

"Fellow Daoists, you've finally arrived."

True Person Qingshan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he didn't seem to be in very good condition.

"The old True Person's condition is such that he can't afford to delay any longer."

"Enough with the small talk, everyone, board the ship."

With a wave of his sleeve, Yun Du a silver-white, nine-zhang-long Silver Plume Boat, which was currently the fastest Law Treasure for traveling.

The two people and the bear boarded the boat, Yun Du began to perform Method Formula.

The Silver Plume Boat emitted a clear, melodious hum, transforming into a silver meteor that streaked across the sky and pierced the northern horizon!

White Cloud Commandery was located in the southwestern part of the Wei Kingdom, while North Sea was in the far north of the Wei Kingdom.

This journey will require traversing most of the Wei Kingdom's territory, a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles. Even with Law Treasure flying boat, it would take ten days to half a month to reach the destination.

Amidst howling winds atop the flying boat.

Shi Jian sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, looking down at the mountains and land rushing past below.

The first three days were uneventful.

As the flying boat ventured deeper into the heart of the Wei Kingdom, the landscape below underwent a dramatic transformation. Second-tier Spirit Vein, which were once a rarity in White Cloud Commandery, sprang up like mushrooms after rain here.

These mortal cities were vast in scale, often housing millions of people.

In the sky, various colored lights and flying boats shuttled back and forth in an endless stream.

This is the heartland of the Wei Kingdom.

"I never imagined that just the tip of the iceberg would be so prosperous."

Shi Jian sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The Demon Race faces a difficult existence on the Profound Spirit Continent, as all the good Spirit Vein and Blessed Land have been occupied by various sects and Lineage of the Human Race.

If he didn't have the cultivation of Golden Core cultivator, and dared to fly so swaggeringly in the heart of the Human Race, he would have long been attacked by those self-proclaimed righteous cultivators, who would have skinned him alive and extracted his Demon Core!

This is only the Wei Kingdom; the states of the Jin Kingdom and Liang Kingdom are also entirely under the control of the Human Race.

High-level Demon Beast have almost disappeared from the entire Profound Spirit Continent. The few remaining Demon Beast mountain ranges, like the Great Maple Mountain Range, are Beast Pasturing Mountain for various forces...

How truly pathetic and lamentable!

Even Shi Jian felt lucky. Perhaps the reason he had come this far was not because of his strength, but because the various factions of the Human Race had never taken him seriously.

Even though he was already a level 5 Demon General, in the Profound Spirit Continent, which was dominated by Human Race, he was still Cang Hai...

The Sun Clan accepted him because they needed a Demon Beast to back them up.

White Cloud Temple needs a Golden Core cultivator to join them in restraining Fenghe Sect after accepting him.

The Supreme Purity Sect's desire to accept him stemmed from True Person Luanyuan's own selfish motives; he coveted Luan Yuan's power and wanted to serve him...

It's not that the Supreme Purity Sect is indispensable; it's truly the only one.

From beginning to end, Shi Jian was nothing more than a result of selfishness and the checks and balances of various forces, if not for the skin of a clan-protecting spirit beast.

I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today.

Instead, he died early at White Cloud Temple during the last campaign to eliminate demons in the Qingshan.

As his thoughts gradually returned to normal, Shi Jian stopped dwelling on it.

"We've entered the territory of the Profound Purity Sect."

At this moment, Yun Du stood to the side, pointing to a vast, endless mountain range in the distance, its spiritual light soaring into the sky...

Profound Purity Sect, one of the three major sects of the Wei Kingdom!

It is also a Nascent Soul sect, with several Nascent Soul True Lord within its ranks.

Shi Jian gazed into the distance, where several chilling auras lurked, each one far surpassing his current level.

Shi Jian dared not look any longer and lowered his head in silence.

When the flying boat passed through the territory of the Profound Purity Sect, Yun Du deliberately lowered the flight altitude and slowed down as a sign of respect.

Along the way, not a single trace of Bandit Cultivator was seen. The area under their rule was peaceful and stable, so peaceful it was outrageous, truly a golden age!

Five more days passed.

A strong, salty, fishy smell began to fill the air, and the temperature dropped sharply.

"Arrive."

True Person Qingshan opened his eyes from meditation. A sickly flush appeared on his lifeless face, and his emotions fluctuated slightly.

As the Silver Plume Boat passed through a layer of thick clouds, the view suddenly opened up!

Ahead lay a vast, endless black ocean.

The seawater was as black as ink, and the gale whipped up huge waves tens of meters high, crashing violently against the coastal rocks with a deafening roar.

At the very tip of the coastline stands a colossal structure.

Sea-Suppressing Immortal City!

This is one of the largest and most magnificent cultivation gathering places in the Wei Kingdom's cultivation world.

The city wall is hundreds of feet high, like Shan Yue, and is made entirely of black gold iron, with dense Formation Method Talismanic Script engraved on its surface.

On the city wall, every thousand feet.

There stood a stone tablet, radiating terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations. It was carved with intricate spiritual patterns, and its top was hollow, with a spherical magical Law Treasure suspended inside, ready to activate its restrictions at any time!

Enough to annihilate any Golden Core cultivator.

A massive, semi-transparent beam of light descended inverted, enveloping the entire immortal city.

At the top of the light shield, an ancient octagonal bronze mirror floated, radiating a terrifying pressure that suppressed all things. Judging from its aura, it was clearly a Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, serving as the core of the array!

At the port of the immortal city, hundreds of massive deep-sea spirit ships were moored.

Countless cultivators scurried through the city like ants, and the sounds of noise, hawking, and beast roars blended together, creating an extremely prosperous scene!

"Let's go into town to rest and find out about the recent situation in Black Wind Abyss."

Yun Du away the Silver Plume Boat.

The two people and one bear landed outside the city, paid the entrance fee, and entered Sea-Suppressing Immortal City.

As Shi Jian walked down the street, he immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators, but no one dared to step forward and provoke him.

A level 5 Demon Beast is no joke!

A true Golden Core demon. Although Golden Core are not among the absolute elite, they are still considered part of the middle tier of various powers.

They are extremely rare; the entire Wei Kingdom combined has only a few hundred Golden Core, placing them at the upper echelons of the pyramid.

In this world of cultivation, strength ultimately reigns supreme.
