Invincible!

Chapter 147 Sea Snake
"When the five elements converge and the five internal organs are refined by the power of magic, one's essence, energy, and spirit will increase rapidly. When this increase reaches its peak and approaches perfection, one can achieve unity and sublimation!"

In the void, Nangong Feixu and Li Xian transformed into streaks of light, tearing through the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Along the way, this true disciple, whose spirit and energy were already at their peak, recounted to Li Xian the various changes that occurred in this realm.

"Unlike the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin, where one can accumulate and refine various innate energies one by one, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top requires ten years of arduous brewing before it can be accomplished in a single day!"

"That is, to refine oneself with the five elements in the chest, to perfect one's essence, energy and spirit, and then to condense the three flowers at the last moment."

“Indeed, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top condenses the Heavenly Gate Aperture. This place is also known as the Upper Yuan Grotto Heaven. If you are not careful at this step, at best your mind will be injured and you will be in a daze, and at worst your soul will be scattered and your body will die. It is the most dangerous hurdle in the cultivation of the Dao Realm.”

What changes occurred before and after?

"The changes are significant. The three flowers will condense, opening up the Upper Yuan Grotto-Heaven. The condensed Divine Essence Flower will give birth to spiritual consciousness, making mental perception incredibly sharp. It can often perceive subtle details, coordinate essence, energy, and magical power, increase casting speed, and enhance combat bursts. Furthermore, the three flowers, based on spiritual consciousness, govern themselves, easily controlling injury recovery, growth, and physical changes. They can make magical power remain undiminished even when separated from the body, and even conjure up lifelike birds and beasts..."

Nangong Feixu said, "The most prominent feature of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is change! The power of magic can be gathered and dispersed at will, changing in countless ways! Our Great Luo Immortal Sect has the sect's supreme technique, the Nine Transformations of Heaven! Nine is the ultimate number, with infinite meaning, meaning it has endless variations!"

She smiled and glanced at Li Xian: "If some people did not cultivate the escape technique when the Five Qi converged, they can cultivate the transformation technique after the Three Flowers Gathered at the Top, turning into birds and beasts... At the peak of cultivation, they can even transform into spirit beasts and immortal birds, spreading their wings and leaping across three thousand miles of blue waves!"

Li Xian nodded slightly upon hearing what Nangong Feixu said.

The Foundation Establishment Realm is like an enhanced version of the innate realm.

Only at the level of magical power can one begin to resemble a cultivator.

Only when the Five Elements converge and the Three Flowers gather at the crown can the various methods that ordinary people cannot imagine be truly revealed by cultivators.

At this moment, some scattered reefs and islands suddenly appeared in the sea ahead.

And at the edge of the horizon, there is a large island, stretching for hundreds of miles, leaping out from the sea.

"We've arrived at my fiefdom."

Nangong Feixu said, "My fiefdom is located in the Zhou Tian Islands. It originally consisted of 360 islands and was one of the 72 star veins of the Wuji Star Palace. However, the Wuji Star Palace was severely damaged in a battle with the Undying Clan, and only one-tenth of the star veins remained. Therefore, we retreated to the East Sea, and the remaining 23 islands fell into the hands of our Daluo Immortal Sect."

Li Xian had heard of the war between the Wuji Star Palace and the Undead Clan.

The Fallen Star Sea was formed during that battle.

Because the Wuji Star Palace spent too long purging the Undead Clan, it was severely weakened. After the Demon Clan was defeated, it retreated to the Endless Sea and snatched half of the land from the Wuji Star Palace.

Of course, a whale fall can bring forth a myriad of life.

For small sects, if the Wuji Star Palace hadn't suffered a major blow and abandoned the area south of the Endless Sea, how could the Fallen Star Sea have achieved its current prosperity?

"I read in the book 'Initial Explanation of Immortal Sects' that the Nine Great Immortal Sects dominated the world, causing alien races to collapse and submit. Now it seems that the Nine Great Immortal Sects also paid a considerable price."

"When the sect first opens its doors to its disciples, it is naturally meant to demonstrate the strength of the Immortal Sect. In reality, the Immortal Sect was originally composed of ten families, one of which was completely destroyed by the God Race 440,000 years ago."

As Nangong Feixu spoke, she added, "Of course, it is a fact that the nine immortal sects dominate the three continents and two seas of the True Immortal Great World, but in some places, they inevitably fall short."

"The Endless Sea?"

Li Xian looked deeper into the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

"With the Boundless Star Palace in the Endless Sea, our Great Luo Immortal Sect and Radiant Sun Immortal Sect will also extend their reach into the Endless Sea to suppress and kill the demon race, so that the demon race will not dare to be arrogant."

Nangong Feixu shook her head and said, "The real danger is the Abyss Sea, which has become the domain of the demon race. The Shenxiao Sect, which originally occupied that sea area, was forced to retreat and only managed to save the sect with the help of the Nine Heavens Holy Land."

"The Fallen Star Sea is not the front line against the demon race, yet demons are still appearing there. Could it be that the demon race has made another move?"

Li Xiandao.

“That’s possible! We are at peace in the Great Luo Immortal Sect, and even the Nine Directions Heaven and Earth and the Three Thousand Subordinate Kingdoms are prosperous and peaceful. But in the Hundred Thousand Domains, especially in the outermost areas, the invasion of the demon race is commonplace and is showing signs of getting worse…”

Nangong Feixu paused suddenly as she spoke.

But at the end of the horizon, the harbor of that island was bustling with noise.

Thousands of warriors formed battle formations and used various weapons to shoot down the half-human, half-snake monsters that kept emerging from the sea.

Every now and then, some incredibly tall monsters with human bodies and snake tails, and four arms, were blasted into blood mist by sword light shot out from an array behind the port.

"Sea Serpent Clan!?"

Nangong Feixu was slightly taken aback.

When she left the sect earlier, the reason she used the excuse that her fiefdom had been attacked by the Sea Serpent Clan to appease Shen Zangxing was because she had indeed received prior information that a group of Sea Serpent Clan members had bypassed the Starfall Sea and caused great damage.

Now, the excuses have actually come true!?

After exchanging a glance, the two exchanged no further words and simultaneously transformed into two streaks of light, shooting towards the port.

Having cultivated the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, Li Xian flew faster than Nangong Feixu. He aimed at a giant demon that was five or six meters tall, unleashed his sword qi, tearing through the atmosphere. Its indestructible sharpness was like a sword that could pierce an insurmountable barrier, causing the demon to roar in alarm and anger.

It wields its four arms, unleashing a barrage of swords, spears, and halberds, weaving a deadly net capable of tearing everything apart.

But Mr. Li completely ignored it.

As Fu Li activated his true form, he seemed to be clad in an invisible suit of armor. Then, carrying the terrifying speed of the Chasing Sun Sword Qi that caused the void to explode time and time again, he crashed into the great demon.

"Oh!"

In the void, a visible white shockwave exploded outwards.

The four-armed snake-man's body seemed to have been hit by a cannonball; it was smashed to pieces without even leaving a complete corpse.

Within the shockwave, countless plumes of blood mist were clearly visible, scattering in all directions.

After smashing the great demon, Li Xian's speed hardly stopped.

The sword energy of the rising sun enveloped his body and erupted once more, rushing towards the second great demon.

Because the acceleration at this moment was slower than that attack, the powerful sword energy of the Chasing Sun, enhanced by the true form of Fu Li, still managed to tear the great demon wielding the weapon to shreds on the spot.

Then, without stopping, Li Xian accelerated again, wielding the sword light, and broke the sound barrier in just a few hundred meters, stirring up a white shockwave. A great demon that sensed the danger and was shouting "retreat" felt the sharp attack coming and had just turned around when Li Xian's Sun Chasing Sword Qi had already torn its head apart.

In an instant, the three-headed demon perished.

This terrible loss terrified the remaining sea serpent tribesmen, who, no longer concerned with attacking the dock, retreated straight into the depths of the sea.

Just as these sea serpent tribesmen were retreating in panic, Nangong Feixu arrived.

A cool, ethereal light, fan-shaped, swept down from her hand.

Instantly, all the sea serpents illuminated by this eerie light seemed to be frozen in place...

The next moment, whether they were powerful demons or ordinary sea serpents, they fell down in droves without a sound.

Even though they had no injuries and not even a drop of blood, they still...

They simply fell completely silent.

Seeing this, Li Xian recognized something.

"Taiyin Xuan Guang?"

A powerful and protective magic technique!

With this display of magic and the appearance of Nangong Feixu, the people guarding the port immediately recognized her identity.

"It's a true disciple of Nangong!"

"Nangong Zhenchuan saved us!"

"Greetings, Master Nangong!"

In an instant, shouts of joy, gratitude, and relief at escaping death resounded throughout Hong Kong.

Tens of thousands of people were swept up in this sea of ​​cheers.

"Take inventory of the battlefield."

With a command from Nangong Feixu, she flew straight into the harbor towards the three people who had just emerged from the formation.

All three were masters who had laid the foundation for their Dao.

Two of them even developed magical powers.

Upon seeing Nangong Feixu, he quickly bowed and said, "True disciple Nangong."

Nangong Feixu nodded.

She entrusted her fiefdom to the sect for safekeeping, and the people in front of her were the elders sent by the sect to guard the fiefdom.

"Elder Sun, what's going on?"

"As Senior Sister Nangong saw."

Elder Sun, who was in charge, gave a bitter smile: "It is perfectly normal for ships and islands in the Falling Star Sea to be attacked by the demon race. However, since the Sea Serpent Clan invaded the Falling Star Sea, the intensity of the demon invasion has increased significantly. This is the third attack this year. And unlike the last time when only six great demons appeared, this time there are twelve great demons, including a six-armed sea serpent."

Sea serpents are typically born with two arms. Once they become great demons, they will grow four arms. If they reach the third realm, which is equivalent to the Five Elements Convergence in humans, they will grow another pair of arms, reaching a total of six arms.

Nangong Feixu had already seen the corpse of the six-armed sea serpent, and then glanced at the formation...

"Is the White Tiger Geng Metal Killing Formation being activated?"

"Yes, it consumed a bit of Geng metal energy."

Elder Sun's expression grew even more bitter as he spoke.

A wisp of Geng metal energy...

The fundraising effort was worth millions.

The star sand produced on this island and in the surrounding area can't even sell for 200,000 yuan a year.

Once the formation is activated, five years of hard work will be wasted...

“If the Sea Serpent Clan continues to maintain this level of attack, either we need to invite an inner sect elder to come and oversee the operation, or you, True Disciple Nangong, should personally guard it, or... we will have to consider abandoning this fiefdom.”

Elder Sun said.

The existence of the 108,000 domains is solely for the purpose of acquiring resources.

If the cost of defending these areas exceeds the output, the sect will naturally consider abandoning them.

"I'll find a way."

As Nangong Feixu spoke, she said, "Let's take stock of the spoils. The materials from these great demons should be worth something. We can't afford to lose so much money."

"Yes."

Elder Sun nodded.

At this moment, another elder said, "Before the arrival of the true disciple Nangong, we dared not mention this matter. Now that the true disciple Nangong has arrived, perhaps we can ask you to consider it."

He quickly said, "A month ago, Azure Dragon Island, three thousand miles away, discovered the whereabouts of a group of sea serpents. They invited us to join forces to wipe out these sea serpents and resolve the crisis, but we declined due to our limited capabilities..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Feixu.

They lacked the ability, but Nangong Feixu, as a true disciple...

As long as they don't encounter the eight-armed sea serpent, they can practically slaughter everything in sight.
