Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 68 Attack on the Island (Congratulations to Alliance Leader Qing Ningzi!)

Several months later.

A sea area.

"hold head high!"

A black water turtle, its body entirely blue-green and its size resembling a small mountain, roared angrily to the sky.

His demonic aura was astonishing, reaching the mid-grade of the second tier, equivalent to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Unfortunately, they fell into a trap and are now trapped in the great formation, unable to advance or retreat.

Puff puff!

The Xuan Shui Turtle opened its blood-red maw and continuously spewed out jets of black water.

These water spheres are made of single-element heavy water, and each one carries immense power.

"Haha, getting impatient?"

Fang Qing held the Transformation Pearl, which had been upgraded to a low-grade spiritual artifact. A drop of liquid magic power dissolved and blackish-green spiritual energy was poured into it.

A flash of light appeared on the Transformation Pearl, revealing a layer of azure water curtain that completely blocked the pitch-black Primal Heavy Water.

The upgraded Huahai Pearl not only has a significantly increased water storage capacity, but also enhances the defensive capabilities of light-shield-type magical artifacts.

"Not bad."

After testing it out, Fang Qing released the Transformation Pearl from his hand, which flew out as a blue meteor and struck the head of the Xuan Shui Turtle.

The Xuan Shui Turtle's mountain-like body shook violently, and a dent appeared on its head, causing much of the demonic energy it was gathering to dissipate.

Stab it!

Streams of Gui Water Yin Lightning crashed down instantly, striking the Xuan Water Tortoise shell heavily.

Two white shields floated in front of Qin Ruxue, who held a battle flag in her hand and waved it continuously.

Half an hour later, the Xuan Shui Turtle stopped roaring and howling, and instead collapsed and turned into a corpse.

Qin Ruxue took out a small white jade sword and skillfully began to cut up the demon beast materials. Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on her face: "Young Master—this Xuan Shui Turtle has condensed its demon core!"

"Oh?"

Fang Qing took the rare second-tier demon core and found it to be an irregular, pitch-black crystal, about the size of an adult's fist, emitting a deep and pure water spiritual energy.

"A second-tier water-attribute demon core—not bad luck."

He collected the second-tier demon core, preparing to go back and refine a pool of mid-grade Water Essence Pills, or perhaps try to make a second-tier high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

With the merits she had accumulated from killing several second-tier demonic beasts, plus the mid-grade second-tier Xuan Shui Turtle she had just killed, Qin Ruxue could exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect. Therefore, she didn't need to hand over this precious second-tier demonic core.

"Hmm? It seems like this time it's going to be big."

Fang Qing habitually performed some divination, only to discover that the "Plum Blossom Divination" was issuing a warning, immediately realizing that danger was approaching, perhaps even a life-or-death situation!

"Hurry up!"

"yes!"

Even though Qin Ruxue was reluctant, she could only take the most valuable materials from the Xuan Shui Turtle, abandon the turtle carcass, and follow Fang Qing all the way back to Xiaobai Island.

Not long after the two entered the island's protective formation.

hold head high!!!

A roar as powerful as a dragon or a tiger suddenly erupted outside the island, and a terrifying aura swept across the land.

The sea churned, and endless waves gathered, like the palm of a giant, constantly pounding against the great formation, causing the formation to flash with light.

Amidst the towering waves, a colossal creature resembling a moving island can be seen.

Third-tier Demon King Overlord Turtle!

It roared and charged wildly at the island's protective formation.

The nearby spirit ship suffered a terrible fate; in an instant, it was torn to pieces, with streaks of crimson blood seeping out from the center.

"The Demon King is attacking the island! All Foundation Establishment cultivators, proceed immediately to the array's core! Enforcement disciples, patrol the entire island! Rogue cultivators, return to your caves! Anyone who dares to make a move—kill!"

A figure flew out; it was Elder Wanbao, whose solemn voice rang out.

This protective formation on Little White Island is also at the third level, enough to hold off the Demon King for a while until the sect's reinforcements arrive!

"This old tortoise is getting anxious—it's just that it killed a Xuan Shui tortoise, right? It has so many tortoise offspring, why is it being so petty?"

'

Fang Qing gave a mocking smile.

"Although this tortoise has many offspring, only a few are as gifted as the Xuan Shui Turtle and can advance to the middle rank of the second level." Qin Ruxue couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, I'm going to provide support. You can go back to your cave."

Fang Qing thought for a moment and added, "With this turtle's appearance, the surrounding waters are no longer safe. If you exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, you can directly enter seclusion in my cave to establish your foundation."

Qin Ruxue wanted to return to her sect for seclusion. First, she needed the best environment for seclusion, and second, she wanted a place where she grew up and was familiar with, which would enhance her mental state. These are all tips for Foundation Establishment.

But now she's almost certain to reach Foundation Establishment, and all she needs is a cave dwelling with second-tier spiritual energy; there's no need to be so particular.

"Yes, young master."

Qin Ruxue bowed down: "I was able to establish my foundation entirely thanks to your support, young master. I will forever remember your kindness."

"7

Fang Qing transformed into a streak of blue light and landed at a key point in the array.

In the urgency of the situation, he simply nodded to a few fellow disciples nearby and placed his palm on the bronze pillar in front of him.

Splash!

A drop of liquid magic dissolved and flowed into the array's core, adding to the strength of this third-tier array.

A moment later, his face turned pale, and he went to sit down and meditate to recover.

"This Fang Qing—he truly cares deeply for the sect, having supported it for so long. He's only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage; his magical power is probably almost exhausted, which must be affecting his very foundation, right?"

Elder Wanbao's gaze softened upon seeing this scene, showing great approval.

Unbeknownst to him, Fang Qing was thinking to himself: "Hmm, I have seven drops of liquid mana within me. This time I'll only use two drops, leaving the majority in case of unforeseen circumstances."

Elder Wanbao had no idea that he had an incredibly deep foundation, having condensed three drops of liquid mana as soon as he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Later, he consumed Water Essence Pills to cultivate, and his progress was rapid.

Rumble!

Suddenly, lines lit up one after another on the turtle's shell, and the combination of these lines faintly formed a supernatural power that could overturn rivers and seas!

Several enormous water dragons appeared, causing the base of the White Island array to tremble.

"You beast!"

Elder Wanbao's face paled, and he shouted, "Everyone, give it your all! Ancestor Linghu will arrive in an instant!"

"Is this the power of a third-tier demon king?"

Fang Qing was somewhat shocked to see this scene.

"When demonic beasts are at the first or second tier, they're alright. But once they reach the third tier, they'll generally awaken their bloodline and unlock their innate divine abilities, also known as their innate divine abilities!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Azure Sea Sect standing next to Fang Qing explained with a smile, "We human Core Formation cultivators are no match for demon kings of the same level with our bare hands. Only by relying on the advantage of magic treasures can we put up a fight."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion, senior brother."

Fang Qingyi cupped his hands in greeting.

"Haha, my name is Hu Fan. I've heard that you, junior brother, are not only extremely skilled in alchemy, but also frequently go out to sea to hunt, reaping considerable rewards—would you be interested in joining me?"

Hu Fan's eyes were bright, clearly indicating that he had been thinking about this matter for a long time.

Fang Qing always made a profit on his voyages with very little loss, which made many people envious.

"Heh—want a piece of the pie? You think you're my Akiko? You dare to ask?"

Fang Qing had anticipated this, since after the harvest, there would always be leaks in the process of refining pills, forging weapons, selling them, and even registering them to complete the task.

"I'll definitely go out when I have the chance. Right now, with this sea turtle acting crazy, I'm afraid I won't dare to go out for a while."

He gave a perfunctory reply.

"Too----"

Hu Fan's smile remained unchanged, but a shadow fell over his heart: Hmph, this newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator is just lucky—did he think he could find a second-tier demon beast every time he went to sea? There will always be a day when he encounters danger!

At that moment, a streak of light suddenly flew in from outside Little White Island.

The light subsided, revealing one of the cultivators whose eyes shone brightly—it was none other than Linghu Jin!

"You beast, how dare you be so insolent?"

He was surrounded by Core Formation level magical power, and with a furious roar, a sword light was already unleashed!

The sword light was vast and boundless, like a celestial river flowing backwards, and it also contained a sword-shaped magic weapon!

puff!

The sword light fell, slicing a deep mark on the back of the sea turtle.

The sea turtle, in pain, roared repeatedly.

Under the power of overturning rivers and seas, one after another giant water dragon emerged and swept towards the sky!

Linghu Jin chuckled, and a blue circular magic weapon appeared in his hand.

-

This magical artifact spun rapidly, growing to an enormous size. It seemed to possess an infinite attraction, swallowing up all the water dragons and turning them into a torrential downpour.

Splash!

Amidst the torrential downpour, the sea turtle had vanished without a trace.

"You run fast!"

Upon seeing this, Linghu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

This is also an old trick of the Overturning Turtle. Before each attack, it would notify the Zhong family of Taibai. This time, it was Zhong Xuanli who risked his life to harass the Bihaimen army, forcing Ancestor Ruan to stay behind, which is why only he came.

Otherwise, if he and his master joined forces and paid a price, they could have killed the Sea-Overturning Turtle here.

"Old Master Linghu is here! Haha—we're saved!"

On the island, the cultivators celebrated their victory.

Fang Qing also showed a hint of relief: Just as my divination predicted, it was a close call but ultimately harmless.

However, the Azure Sea Sect is truly wealthy. Even though Patriarch Linghu is only at the outer core stage, he already possesses two magical treasures—one offensive and one defensive.

This can only be a legacy from our predecessors.

The former sect leader, Linghu, clearly had no intention of summoning the Foundation Establishment cultivators, so Fang Qing returned to his own cave dwelling.

"Young Master!"

Inside the cave, Qin Ruxue was already waiting, respectfully handing over a strange, dark fragment: "This is a fragment of the sea turtle's shell, shattered by Ancestor Linghu, with part of it falling into the sea—the sect's weapon refiners have already examined it; it contains little spiritual essence and demonic energy, making it unsuitable for weapon refining, but after being boiled, it is quite suitable for body-refining cultivators—"

"This is not a tortoise shell at all; it may just be residue on the shell. Only a complete tortoise shell is a true Tier 3 material."

Fang Qing's expression was somewhat strange, but he still put the fragment into the jade box and affixed a few sealing talismans.

Although this fragment may just be an accumulation of seaweed and rocks from the turtle's body, it has been tainted by demonic energy for a long time, making it a decent spiritual material.

Of course, the most crucial element is the accompanying demonic aura, which can be used as a basis for divination!

If I were to perform divination myself, and secretly have the two patriarchs of the sect hold back their power, the Sea Turtle would surely die!

But I came to the front lines to kill demons and gather materials—let's postpone it for a few years. This kind of opportunity is rare, and there may not be another one in the future—”
