Shi Jian's Plans, Setting Off for the South Sea!

At the Purple Firmament Peak, the thunderclouds slowly dissipated.

Shi Jian exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the purple-gold lightning around his body gradually receded and finally disappeared beneath his skin; he casually stretched his muscles and bones, and a roaring sound like a surging river immediately came from his body.

The nine energies returned to one, merging with the Nascent Soul and becoming part of its origin.

This is the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. To cross from the mid-stage to the Nascent Soul Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm, eighteen strands of primordial energy are required, but this is subject to the rules of the secondary world.

As soon as Shi Jian broke through, he felt a kind of shackle in the the Unseen.

"Is this what they mean by the constraints of rules?"

"What kind of immense power could possibly be protecting us from breaking through and advancing?"

Shi Jian thought a lot in his heart, but in the end he could only sigh; if he did not escape this world, how could he be willing to be trapped and die here?

Then Shi Jian closed his lips and sent a telepathic message into the distance.

Before half an incense stick had burned, the sea of clouds in the sky began to churn.

The White Crane, fanning itself with a folding fan, transformed into a streak of white light and landed beside the Thunder Pool; as soon as it touched the ground, the White Crane couldn't help but marvel:

"Brother Shi, I didn't expect your cultivation speed to catch up with mine so quickly."

"Indeed, the Dao Pill alchemy method is truly infinitely profound!"

White Crane closed his folding fan, his face beaming with excitement. "Now that we two demons have both reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage, there's nowhere on this Profound Spirit Continent we can't go!"

Even if we walk sideways, no one in this world can stop us!

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian remained calm, finally turning his gaze southward. "Enough with the idle talk, come with me to the South Sea."

White Crane was taken aback. "To the South Sea?"

"That old mudfish Ao Qin is probably dead for good. The Flood Dragon Clan is hiding in the deep sea like turtles now. Is it worth us going out of our way to provoke them?"

"The deep sea is their territory; a naval battle would be disadvantageous for us."

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."

Shi Jian sneered, "The Flood Dragon Clan has a deep foundation. Those few mudskippers in Ao Hai are still alive; keeping them around will ultimately be a hidden danger."

"Let's strike while he's down!"

White Crane frowned slightly, feeling that Shi Jian wasn't the type to go to great lengths just to eliminate any potential threat.

"Brother Shi, do you have other plans?"

"Brother Crane understands me best."

Shi Jian smiled frankly, then didn't hide anything. "Ever since I broke through to the Nascent Soul and could transform into a human, I've wanted a handy Law Treasure."

The White Crane's eyes widened, as if it had heard a joke, "Law Treasure? We Demon Race cultivate our physical bodies and innate supernatural Divine Ability; our physical bodies are the strongest Law Treasure."

"What do you need Law Treasure for? Those broken pieces of metal from the Human Race can't withstand our Demon Power at all. Why bother pursuing external things?"

"Demon Beast don't use Law Treasure because they lack the sophisticated artifact-forging techniques of Human Race, but that doesn't mean Law Treasure are useless."

Shi Jian raised his right hand, and lightning condensed in his palm into an illusory spear. "I wish to use the spine of a pure-blooded Flood Dragon as the shaft and the dragon pearl as the core to forge a Purple Pivot Lightning Spear."

"Those Flood Dragon in Ao Hai seem to have tough bones, which suits my taste perfectly."

Upon hearing this, White Crane's eyes immediately lit up.

He licked his lips, slapped his palm with his folding fan, and exclaimed, "Kill a dragon, extract its bones, and forge a divine weapon! Brother Shi, your idea is crazy enough, I like it!"

"The dragon bones are yours, but the dragon tendons, dragon blood, and the rest of the dragon flesh are mine!"

"This dragon meat, wow~"

"It's been so long since I've had this, I really miss it!"

"Let's go to the West Sea and wipe out the Flood Dragon Clan, eliminating this scourge!"

After Shi Jian finished speaking, lightning surged around him, tearing through the void in front of him.

The White Crane followed closely behind. The two great demons, Nascent Soul Middle Stage, made no attempt to conceal their auras. They transformed into two long rainbows that pierced through the heavens and earth, heading straight for the boundless South Sea.

Deep in the South Sea Abyss.

The atmosphere inside the Dragon Palace was extremely oppressive.

The Dragon Palace appeared somewhat dim, Ao Hai sat on the throne that originally belonged to Ao Qin, his face ashen.

Below, the two Dragon Lords, Ao Feng and Ao Xiao, lowered their heads, and the group of Golden Core Flood Dragon dared not even breathe loudly.

"The direct descendants of the clan have all been evacuated."

"From this day forward, all restrictions on the Dragon Palace are lifted; for the next few hundred years, no dragon is permitted to leave the Sea Abyss."

"Those who disobey will be punished according to clan rules, and will be executed without mercy!"

Ao Feng sighed, "Brother Hai, are we really just going to cower like this? Those Eight-Clawed Giant Beast in the East Sea have been getting more and more arrogant lately, and some sea beasts have even crossed the border and invaded our outer waters."

Ao Hai, his expression dejected and eyes bloodshot, almost roared, "What can we do? Shi Jian and White Crane are currently at the height of their power; they've crippled the Human Race!"

"If we go to fight now, we're just asking for death!"

"We'll settle accounts with them a few hundred years from now, when our clan has another Nascent Soul; for now, let's just sit back and watch the political Wind and Cloud on the continent."

"There may be a chance for things to turn around in the future; but right now, we must preserve our strength as much as possible and avoid any further unnecessary losses."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Boom--!

The entire deep sea abyss suddenly trembled violently, and several cracks appeared in the dome of the Dragon Palace, with rubble falling down in a flurry.

"What's going on?!" Ao Hai suddenly stood up.

"Report!"

A sea demon, who had been patrolling, stumbled and crawled into the palace, his face filled with terror. "Your Majesty! The sky... the sky has collapsed! The sea has been split open!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Hai felt a strong sense of foreboding.

He flashed out of the main hall and looked up.

Upon seeing this, Ao Hai's pupils suddenly contracted.

The deep sea was forcibly pushed apart by an extremely tyrannical force; the seawater rolled to both sides, forming a huge vacuum fault that was tens of miles wide.

At the end of that fault line, two figures stood suspended in mid-air.

Shi Jian, dressed in a purple and white robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his body surrounded by purple-gold lightning that raged like a dragon; White Crane spread its wings for a hundred feet, filling the sky with clouds and blocking all escape routes in the surrounding sea.

"Shi Jian! White Crane!"

Ao Hai was immediately enraged, and his expression was filled with barely concealed terror!

He never expected that even his Flood Dragon Clan would back down so easily; why were these two demons still pursuing him so relentlessly?

Despite being fellow demons, they were pushing each other to the brink of death.

Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by the Sea Ape and the Eight-Clawed Giant Beast races, who will eventually join forces to annihilate you?!
