Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 256 Farewell to the Immortal Seeking Sect

The Zhenkong Stone, which can be used to calm the power of space, is naturally of insignificant value. Even Hai Bodong had only accidentally obtained a small piece of Zhenkong Stone as a collection over the years. But now, after seeing that Xu Ji was interested in the cabin made of Zhenkong Stone, he did not hesitate to throw out his treasured Zhenkong Stone as bait to make Xu Ji devote himself to the trip to Tianmu.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xu Ji's face showed a hint of surprise at the right time, as if he was quite interested in the Zhenkong Stone that Hai Bodong mentioned.

“You’re welcome. However, the Zhenkong Stone is extremely precious. It’s not easy to get this Zhenkong Stone from me. It all depends on your achievements in the Heavenly Tomb, Chief Tongyou.” Hai Bodong smiled. Although the Zhenkong Stone was precious, it was nothing compared to inheriting the entire Guihai Kingdom. If a piece of Zhenkong Stone could allow Xu Ji to do his best to help him inherit the entire Guihai Kingdom, Hai Bodong thought it was more worthwhile than buying and selling.

However, Hai Bodong had overlooked one point. Xu Ji had no intention of returning to the Dongliu Continent after this trip to the Heavenly Tomb. So let alone Hai Bodong's promise of a piece of Zhenkong Stone, even if Hai Bodong could promise Xu Ji a large ship made entirely of Zhenkong Stone, Xu Ji would not hesitate.

As for the surprise on Xu Ji's face when he asked Hai Bodong to give him a piece of Sky-Suppressing Stone, it was just to reassure Hai Bodong.

Inside the closed cabin, one could not see the movement of the sun and moon, and could only feel the passage of time bit by bit. Only the occasional jolt would remind everyone that they were still in the turbulence of space.

"Okay, we're here, everyone come out." After another round of turbulence, King Gui Hai's voice suddenly appeared in the cabin, and the blocked and locked cabin door was opened again.

"Finally here." Xu Ji sighed slightly. Originally, he thought he could reach Tianyuan Island from Dongliu Continent in a blink of an eye just like taking the teleportation array in the Immortal Alliance, but he didn't expect that it would take such a long time. However, Xu Ji was soon relieved. The teleportation array in the Immortal Alliance was based on a large array covering the entire Immortal Alliance. Its power was naturally not comparable to that of a Xuan King.

After leaving the cabin, Xu Ji and his companions were on the sea. Not only himself, but also many teams had gathered on the surrounding sea. Each team had exactly a hundred people. At this time, they were quietly watching the misty island not far away, but no one approached the island.

Xu Ji showed a trace of doubt on his face, and couldn't help but look carefully at the island wrapped in clouds and mist, only to find that it was not clouds and mist that were wrapping the island, but the space force that was almost condensed into substance. It was not that these people didn't want to get close to the island, but they were afraid that once they got close to the island, they would be completely torn into pieces by the violent space force around the island.

"The small island not far away is Tianyuan Island. After the spatial force outside it has completely dissipated, you can land on the island and enter the Heavenly Tomb. You just need to wait here for a while. Remember what I said before. Whoever kills the most Xuan Masters in the Bing clan in the Heavenly Tomb can inherit the entire Guihai Kingdom." After King Guihai gave his final reminder, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a hundred people from the Guihai Kingdom on the sea.

Hai Dounan glanced at everyone on the field, his gaze lingered on Xu Ji for a moment, and then turned to look at Hai Bodong and Hai Jie: "My two royal brothers, the Bing clan's people are definitely strong. If we act rashly, we may not only fail to complete the order of our ancestor, but also fall into danger. How about we work together to try to hunt down a Xuanshi from the Bing clan?"

Haijie glanced at the field, thought for a moment and agreed, saying: "That's good. If we act rashly, it may not be safe. How about we wait until we see the strength of the Xuanshi in the Bing clan and then rely on our own abilities?" Seeing that Haidounan and Haijie were both willing to unite temporarily, Haibodong naturally had no room for refusal. Otherwise, it would be very likely that the two sides would unite to wipe out his side first.

So the three of them agreed to join forces temporarily. As for whether they would hunt down the Xuan Master from the Bing Clan based on their own abilities after jointly killing the Xuan Master from the Bing Clan, or continue to join forces to hunt down the Xuan Master from the Bing Clan, or whether they would fight each other to death, that was all a matter for later.

While everyone was quietly waiting for the Heavenly Tomb to open, another team came to this sea area one after another. It was obvious that they were also planning to participate in this Heavenly Tomb. Just when the space force outside Tianyuan Island had dissipated for the most part and could potentially regain stability at any time, another team arrived.

The team that arrived this time was much more powerful than any team that had arrived before. Even the giant ship they were riding that crossed the space turbulence was very different from the giant ships they had seen before. When Xu Ji saw this giant ship, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. This giant ship was surprisingly eight points similar to the war ship he had taken when he traveled from the spirit world to the battlefield outside the domain. Maybe this giant ship was transformed from the war ship of the Immortal Alliance.

"Hahaha, the Heavenly Tomb has not been opened yet. It seems that our Bing Clan is not too late." Following a hearty laugh, three figures were the first to walk down from the giant ship that was suspected to be a converted warship of the Immortal Alliance. When Xu Ji saw the figure of one of them, his heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and shrank into the crowd.

The man was wearing a strange red copper mask and a loose black robe, which made him stand out from the other two. It was obvious that he was not dressed like a person from the Xuan Realm. However, Xu Ji was very familiar with this attire. He had seen this man when he was disguised as a criminal cultivator named Shi Youchang during the second time the Qiuxian Sect caused trouble in Qingyuan City.

"I didn't expect that people from the Qiuxian Sect are also involved in this." Xu Ji thought in his heart, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. Originally, he was just planning to fish around and focus on finding out the news about the battlefield outside the domain, but if people from the Qiuxian Sect are also involved, then he might have to get serious this time.

Even though he did not know the specific plan of the Qiuxian Sect this time, as long as he could kill all the people from the Qiuxian Sect who went to the Heavenly Tomb this time, no matter what plan they had, it would not be possible to achieve.

Moreover, since the Qiuxian Sect came here with the Bing Clan, not only myself, but I am afraid that the Xuanshi of the Ti Clan will also try to kill them, so the Qiuxian Sect will not be able to find out that it was me who did it. Besides, the foundation-building cultivators of the Qiuxian Sect must have come here from the extraterritorial battlefield, so I can also get news from them about the space node in the Xuan Realm that leads to the extraterritorial battlefield. It can be said that I kill three birds with one stone.

In the void, a Xuan King looked at the Bing Clan who had arrived late, and couldn't help but sneered and said, "King Fubing, you are so confident, aren't you afraid that all the Xuan Masters in your Bing Clan will be wiped out this time?"
