Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1930 First Visit to the Mountain and Sea Ruins

"Black fog tide?" Li Shan asked in surprise.

"Hmm!" The middle-aged cultivator nodded: "Deep within the Mountain and Sea Ruins, occasional fog tides will suddenly appear without warning. If you are accidentally caught in them, you will immediately lose all your magic power and become a mortal."

In short, if you encounter this, you must stay far away from it, otherwise, at best you will become violent and insane and lose your mind, at worst you will be reduced to ashes and lose your life.

"So ruthless?" Li Shan exclaimed in horror. "Have you investigated what that fog tide actually is?"

"Some say it is the most yin and evil demonic energy, while others say it is the most filthy filth in the world," the middle-aged cultivator said. "But some also say it is the chaotic energy at the beginning of creation."

Li Shan frowned and turned to look at the others, all of whom had very serious expressions.

After offering some advice, the middle-aged cultivator cupped his hands in farewell and departed.

“It seems that the Mountain and Sea Ruins may be more dangerous than we anticipated,” Li Shan said to the group. “If you change your minds now, I can completely understand.”

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tian Nu sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a giant tiger, taller than a person and extremely majestic and domineering, jumped out.

"We've come this far, turning back would be cowardly!"

"Roar!" The giant tiger roared to the sky, its voice shaking the surrounding area.

Li Shan silently wiped his face and took a few steps back.

Songfeng smiled and summoned a handsome crane.

"That's right, since we're already here, we should at least see the wonder and magic of the Mountain and Sea Ruins."

"What, showing off that you all have spirit pets?" Xu Lingzi sneered, waving his hand as well.

A mythical beast, its form as ethereal as smoke, appeared beside him.

Liu Qinghuan was very surprised: "A space-type spirit beast? That's extremely rare!"

Xu Lingzi's expression was indifferent, but his eyes revealed a hint of self-satisfaction: "I caught the Moon Void Beast in Kunxu many years ago."

They all looked at Liu Qinghuan expectantly.

Many people in the cultivation world know that Liu Qinghuan has several spirit pets, but few have actually seen them in person.

Liu Qinghuan smiled and patted the spirit beast pouch lightly: "Come out, all of you."

When Youyan and the others flew out, they were startled to find themselves being stared at by several pairs of eyes.

"Alright, alright, everyone has a spirit pet except me!" Li Shan said, a wisp of cloud rising from beneath his feet.

"I'm not going to compete with you guys, I have to say a few words first."

After entering the Mountain and Sea Ruins, fellow cultivators, please do not spread out too far; it is best to maintain a distance where you can support each other. Also, if you discover any situation or anomalies, please report them via telepathy immediately.

Finally, he solemnly warned, "Be careful!"

……

The wind howled, the sea surged, and the water was an extremely deep black, indicating that the depth of this sea area might be beyond imagination.

A giant crab floats on the sea surface, its thick, black shell bulging high, making it look like a reef.

Its two tiny eyes darted around nimbly, waiting for the group of people in the distance to approach so that its pair of giant, already eager claws could smash their skulls...

But the group was entangled by other sea creatures. A large group of ugly, winged flying fish surrounded them and charged forward fearlessly and tirelessly.

Those sharp, interlocking teeth, if bitten, could probably sever a thigh.

Blades flashed and swords gleamed, invisible blades slicing across the sea, sweeping away swarms of flying fish.

However, the fish were too numerous to kill in a short time. Several more lightning eels, each tens of meters long, swam beneath the surface, occasionally surfacing to spew out bolts of lightning.

Above, the demonic birds smelled the blood and flocked together like surging black clouds, preparing to join the feast.

Then a phoenix with black feathers flew by, flames surged and danced, and countless demonic birds were burned and cried out, suffering heavy casualties.

The flock's momentum was instantly shattered, and they scattered and fled.

A giant tiger waited for its chance to strike, its agile figure disappearing silently. When it reappeared, it was already next to the largest demon bird, its blood-red maw biting at the bird's slender neck.

The flames of war raged, turning half the sky red.

'They're all useless!'

The armored crab was indignant: it couldn't even defeat several prey!

Then they hesitated, wondering whether to continue burying stones and waiting for prey to come to them, or to rush over and grab a share of the spoils.
It was somewhat worried, as there were so many sea monsters lurking in one after another that it could hardly see its prey.

Surely those prey won't die of exhaustion before it even makes its appearance!
Suddenly, a slender sword light pierced through the chaotic battle, cleaving through the surging waves and slashing straight towards us!
The armored crab perked up, raised its massive claws high, and delivered a precise pincer strike!
The sword light shattered with a crash, and the exploding sword rays, like fine rain, pattered against its back.

The armored crab is unharmed even if it is tickled.

It waved its giant claws triumphantly a few times, decided not to wait any longer, and charged aggressively in that direction.

The next moment, the blurry silhouette of a tall tower appeared in the sky, followed by a magnificent white beam of light descending from the heavens and rapidly spreading outwards in concentric circles.

The flying fish were swept up and instantly turned into minced meat, with bright red blood raining down on the sea.

The flock of birds in the sky met their end; wherever the pillar of light shone, the demonic birds melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun…

Those few thunder eels didn't fare any better; as if struck by countless sharp arrows, their bodies were riddled with holes, and they rolled belly up in the pillar of light.

The armored crab felt a chill run down its spine—although it didn't have a scalp, the shadow of death seemed to tangibly loom over it.

It immediately turned and fled, but its thick carapace severely slowed it down, and the beam of light behind it quickly caught up.

The blinding white light seemed to fill the entire world, sweeping away everything in its path, leaving only the dead or wounded.

"It is truly an honor to witness the divine power of the Shadowless Divine Light Tower of your Nine Hua Sect today!" From the center of the light, the voice of Daoist Songfeng resounded with emotion.

"Haha, you flatter me!" Tian Nu laughed with no small amount of pride. He raised his finger and pointed, and the small pagoda in his hand slowly dimmed its light before he carefully put it away.

Liu Qinghuan also glanced at it: No wonder the Nine Hua Sect went to great lengths to retrieve this tower after it was lost; its power was truly considerable.

Beside him, Li Shan used his divine sense to scan the area from top to bottom and left to right, and said, "The sea beasts in this area have been cleared out for the time being. Fellow Daoists, please take this opportunity to rest."

"It's not that tiring." Xu Lingzi sat down on the spot and said, "It's just that there are too many sea beasts. We can't kill them all. When will it ever end!"

"Don't even think about it. This is just the appetizer." Li Shan said, "But this can't go on forever. These powerful sea beasts were clearly driven here to deplete our magical power."

He pondered for a moment and said, "There must be a giant sea beast driving this from behind. If we continue, we will only fall into their trap and be surrounded. Fellow Daoists, do you have any countermeasures?"

He looked at Liu Qinghuan.

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and asked, "How well have you mastered the invisibility technique?"

Li Shan and the others looked at each other and replied, "It's alright."

"Enough."

"very good."

Liu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Then let's split up!"
