Taking Form, Sea Demons Invade the Great Sui

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his wrist, he tucked the blade of grass into his sleeve.

"Phew~"

Han Xiangzi exhaled a breath of stale air. This little grass had indeed gained sentience, but it was still a plant, not a person.

"Indeed, this little grass has already taken human form and possessed sentience. I just wonder if it can truly take human form, and if so, to what extent? I want to experience these things myself. If it can take human form, I will nurture it carefully to prepare it for my future alchemy."

As Han Xiangzi pondered this, a sudden impulse arose in his heart, as if the aura of some powerful being was descending upon him.

"This energy, it is..."

Han Xiangzi's expression immediately turned serious.

"Whoosh!"

A golden beam of light landed on the shore, and the beam transformed into a white-clad man, none other than Li Jing.

Welcome, Your Highness!

Li Jing respectfully.

No need for formalities!

Han Xiangzi waved his hand, then looked at Li Jing: "How have you been doing all these years?"

Li Jing smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Your Highness, I haven't encountered any fortuitous opportunity over the years. I've only been constantly searching for treasures on that mysterious island. However, I've already plundered all of those treasures, leaving only some rare ores, materials, and a few rare items. I haven't gained much. But I have collected quite a few treasures, which I would appreciate Your Highness's perusal."

As he spoke, Li Jing took out a scroll and handed it to Han Xiangzi.

"Kindness?"

Han Xiangzi took the scroll and opened it with a hint of surprise.

This is a map, and it clearly marks the regions of North Kurudvipa, South Jambudvipa, and Central Lands, as well as the northern grasslands and South Jambudvipa. At the very center of the map, there is a lush green grassland.

Upon seeing this grassland, Han Xiangzi's expression instantly darkened.

This map is genuine; it's a detailed map that clearly marks all areas of North Kurudvipa and South Jambudvipa, including that mysterious sea area and the underwater cave abode of North Kurudvipa.

"Your Highness, this is a map I found at an underwater ruin. It shows the geographical location of North Kurudvipa. Please take a look." Li Jing bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

Han Xiangzi remained silent for a while, then slowly put away the dossier in her hand and picked up the map.

Han Xiangzi held the map in his hand and examined it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more gloomy Han Xiangzi face became. His eyes were fixed on the map in his hand, and anger was revealed in his eyes.

"Great, very good!"

Han Xiangzi slammed his fist on the ground in a fit of rage. "These beasts, how dare they invade the territory of my Great Sui!"

"Whoosh~"

Han Xiangzi transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the direction of North Kurudvipa.

This time, Han Xiangzi did not hide his tracks, but chose to travel openly.

Han Xiangzi was very fast. In just a few flashes, he had already traversed tens of thousands of miles and arrived directly in the sea area of North Kurudvipa.

Looking at the vast sea, Han Xiangzi's face was gloomy, and he exuded a terrifying murderous intent.

"This group of sea creature cultivators actually took advantage of the fact that my Great Sui was waging war to go to the sea area of North Kurudvipa to steal wealth. They are truly despicable!" Han Xiangzi's eyes were filled with anger.

"Hmph, if you dare to set foot on the territory of my Great Tang again, I will make you all turn to ashes!" Han Xiangzi said coldly.

After saying this, Han Xiangzi waved his hand, and a splashing sound was heard. A boat slowly floated towards them; it was Han Xiangzi's boat.

This time, Han Xiangzi traveled alone with only a handful of people, including Zhang Heng, Li Jing, and Yang Guang. After all, Yang Guang was of noble birth and could not easily show his face in public, and the same was true for Han Xiangzi.

Besides Han Xiangzi, only Zhang Heng, Li Jing, Zhao Min Yang Guang, Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanji accompanied him this time. Li Jing was a military general, Yang Guang was the emperor of the Great Sui, and Li Yuanji was the grandson of Li Yuan. As for Li Yuanji's parents and relatives, they stayed in Luoyang City and did not travel.

"Whoosh~"

Han Xiangzi leaped onto the deck, and with a series of crackling sounds, they found themselves on the sea.

"Your Highness, you've arrived!" Zhang Heng saw Han Xiangzi from afar and quickly stepped forward.

"Um!"

Han Xiangzi nodded. "This time, when I go on a sea inspection tour, I want to see who dares to cause trouble right under my nose!"

"Your Highness, what are we going to North Kurudvipa for this time?" Li Jing asked as he approached Han Xiangzi.

"There is a mysterious treasure in North Kurudvipa, and I would like to go and see it," Han Xiangzi said with a smile.

Upon hearing Han Xiangzi's explanation, Li Jing's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful!"

"You few follow behind me!" Han Xiangzi ordered, then headed straight for North Kurudvipa.

"Li Jing, let's go join in the fun this time," Li Yuan said with a smile as he walked over.

"Okay!"

Han Xiangzi nodded, and everyone immediately boarded the ship. Han Xiangzi sat in the large ship, drinking and eating meat while looking at the magnificent seascape, feeling quite emotional.

"Li Jing, what are these?" Han Xiangzi, looking at the stone tablets with curiosity.

Li Jing looked at the stone tablet and said, "Your Highness, this is a stone tablet, a mysterious one that was born deep underground in North Kurudvipa. I wonder what its purpose is."

"This North Kurudvipa is truly a treasure trove. Just based on this stone tablet, the treasures underground must be countless. Even the Heavenly Court wouldn't give up such underground treasures." Han Xiangzi shook his head, looking at the jade box in his hand.

"Have we been able to decipher the inscription on this stone tablet?" Han Xiangzi asked.

Li Jing shook his head. "Your Highness, although we are all very learned, we are still unable to understand these characters."

"Alas! What a pity!" Han Xiangzi shook his head, then turned to Zhang Heng and said, "Ancestor, after I have refined these divine stones into weapons, I will hand them over to you forging!"

"Okay!" Zhang Heng nodded.

Next, Han Xiangzi began to examine the mysterious jade box in his hand, a treasure named 'Purple Firmament Palace'.

This treasure is Innate Supreme Treasure. Both its Principle and the treasure itself are extraordinary. Unfortunately, Purple Firmament Palace only has one. Innate, this treasure was born at the beginning of the world and contains countless Innate Principle. To refine this treasure, one must refine those infinite Innate Principle.

As Han Xiangzi refined the Innate Principle, he simultaneously sensed their power and deduced their various transformations, thereby enhancing his understanding of Innate Principle.

"Boom!"

A muffled thud echoed in his mind; the Innate Principle had been completely devoured. Han Xiangzi abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with excitement, looking at the jade box in his hand. "I have refined thirty-four Principle, and I am very close to refining the sixty-ninth Principle. As long as I put in a little more effort, I will be able to refine the seventy-second Innate Principle."
