From the Lanzhou estuary to the North Sea, there is a vast stretch of sea that belongs to the southern region.

This distance is an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people, and it is also considered extremely far for cultivators. This stretch of sea is the area where cultivators from the Southern Region go to sea. Most cultivators go to sea within this area to acquire resources.

The ocean remains a vast expanse in this world, silent and still, bearing the weight of time and history, occupying most of its area. For cultivators, the resources within the ocean are still a treasure trove yet to be discovered.

Whether it's the ubiquitous sea creatures in the vast ocean, the relics from a distant past that have sunk to the bottom of the sea, or the natural treasures that are naturally formed in the marine environment...

For cultivators, these are of great value, hence the profession of Sea Seeker naturally arose.

The sea surface shimmered, reflecting various colors of light under the sun. Looking out, one could see ships floating on the surface like leaves. As one ventured deeper, the ships became sparser, and the vast sea, apart from the occasional reef and surging waves, was monotonous.

"How pleasant! Peaceful and serene, this is what life is all about."

On the spirit ship belonging to Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei in the sea, Yu Changsheng stood on the deck gazing into the distance. The sea breeze rustled his sleeves, making them sway. The sky was bright, and his eyes showed a dazed expression as he sighed.

Since setting sail, the two have been at sea for more than two months and are now extremely far from the Lanzhou mainland. In this boundless sea, all that can be seen is the surging waves.

After the initial shock, Yu Changsheng had grown accustomed to the increasingly monotonous and unchanging sea. While cultivating, everything was relatively stable, which brought him a rare sense of peace.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the sea is much higher than that on the mainland, which means that cultivation here is faster and more suitable than in other places.

Fortunately, the presence of the Xuan Turtle during this two-month voyage caused many sea creatures to leave early, not daring to provoke them.

However, things were not entirely calm. Some of the strange occurrences were quite eye-opening, even for someone as knowledgeable as Yu Changsheng.

For the cultivation world, the sea is perhaps a more mysterious place than the land. The vast ocean and its unique environment hold countless dangers that remain unknown.

However, while humans are undoubtedly the overlords on the continent, in the ocean, spirit beasts have become the masters of the sea. Without the interference of human cultivators, under their natural development, many spirit beasts in this sea have reached a level that is terrifying to cultivators.

For example, last month Yu Changsheng encountered a giant whale spirit beast that was thousands of feet long. When it suddenly emerged from the water, it stirred up a huge wave that covered the sky and caused rain and clouds. In the midst of this, it swallowed another spirit beast that looked like a dragon.

A wave of fear erupted, and the dragon cried out in anguish. The aura it unleashed had reached the fifth level, but it had no power to resist the giant whale and was swallowed and refined in one gulp.

Fortunately, perhaps because the giant whale was too large, it looked down on Yu Changsheng, who was just a small fry, and therefore did not pay any attention to him. After swallowing the dragon, it continued to lurk in the dark abyss of the sea, leaving Yu Changsheng trembling with fear and even more cautious.

Sixth-tier spirit beasts may not be common in the depths of the sea, but they are not rare either, while fifth-tier spirit beasts are not even considered top-tier.

Thus, Yu Changsheng became even more cautious and careful for the rest of the journey, and fortunately, this did not happen again.

Besides the threat of sea creatures, man-made disasters are also very common and serious in the sea.

Unlike sea hunters, who specialize in venturing out to sea to search for resources, pirates, who also operate in the seas, are, as the name suggests, a group of people who specialize in plundering other people's ships, seizing resources, and killing to cover their tracks.

Their exact number is unknown and difficult to count. They mostly live in groups, divided into different pirate crews based on their strength and number of members.

Because the North Sea is dominated by numerous powerful forces with significant influence, far beyond the reach of these small fry, pirates generally operate within the North Sea and Lanzhou waters.

Such things are commonplace in the ocean and are not surprising.

For example, two months later, the spirit ship continued its journey towards the North Sea. After a series of close calls without incident, at noon on this day, under the bright sunlight, Yu Changsheng, who was cultivating with his eyes closed on the deck, slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, Elder Wei stood up, frowned slightly, and looked at Yu Changsheng.

"Should we intervene?"

Old Wei asked calmly.

Ahead, the waves surged as two large spirit ships collided. Cultivators on one side fought fiercely, their supernatural powers and spells flashing across the sky, their power shaking the heavens and creating wave after wave of towering waves. Amidst the waves, the cultivators on both ships battled fiercely.

Both boats were a hundred feet in size, but one of them was much larger. Huge sails fluttered in the wind, spreading out violently with the sea breeze. On the white sails was a lifelike pattern resembling a dragon, baring its fangs and claws, displaying its ferocity, serving as a flag.

On the other ship, huge sails fluttered in the wind, painted with skull patterns. From the flagpole running through the sails hung grotesque skulls, some of them beasts and some of them human, shimmering with a faint red light, and an astonishing aura of malevolence was rising.

The roar and screams echoed across the sea, the water churning and gradually turning red. A corpse slowly fell into the sea, pushed by the waves or sinking to the bottom.

However, the side with the smaller spirit boats, which was the one with the dragon-patterned flag, suffered more losses. With each cultivator falling, their defeat was inevitable.

"Qin Kairong! Your ignorant pirate gang has gone too far! You even dare to rob ships belonging to my Jiaolong Island! Are you truly lawless and arrogant beyond measure? Do you think Jiaolong Island is invincible? If my island lord discovers this, I will surely wipe out your entire ignorant pirate gang!"

On Jiaolong Island, one of the middle-aged cultivators, dressed in a green robe, angrily spoke after knocking away another person he called Qin Kairong with a single blow.

A trickle of blood flowed from his forehead, and his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation dissipated, but it was still no match for Qin Kairong.

"Heh, Han Hua, look at what you're saying. In the vast sea, who isn't a pirate? We're all just living a life of licking blood off the edge. Stop wasting your breath on me. Hand over the inner core of the fourth-tier spirit beast, the Tenghai Dragon, and I might leave you with a whole corpse."

Qin Kairong sneered, looking at Han Hua with obvious mockery in her eyes.

"you!"

Enraged, Han Hua pointed at Qin Kairong, his chest heaving violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he gritted his teeth. "If our island lord weren't absent, how dare you be so arrogant? Aren't you afraid of retaliation when you return?"

"Oh? You mean that brat Jiaolong? Heh." Qin Kairong shook her head and sneered, "Even if he came, the outcome would be the same, besides..."

Qin Kairong paused, her gaze turning icy as she looked at Han Hua and the other two. Her tone suddenly turned cold: "As long as I kill you, in this vast ocean, who will know it was me who did it?"

"Second Master, the island lord isn't here. We're no match for Qin Kairong. Let's find a chance to help you escape!"

The remaining three people from Jiaolong Island approached Han Hua, all of them covered in wounds and panting heavily. Two of them were at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. They stood guard beside Han Hua and said with a wry smile.

"this……"

Han Hua gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, feeling the powerful force within him. He remained silent, a bitter feeling rising in his heart.

"Trying to escape? That's a good idea, but you're far from qualified."

Qin Kairong smiled faintly and shook her head. As she beckoned, her two companions raised their long knives high, looking at the three of them with excited and bloodthirsty eyes.

"Alright, let's finish you off as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications. As for the dragon, if he comes looking for us, we'll just kill him along with him."

Qin Kairong looked at the three of them, chuckled coldly, and slowly raised her arm, causing ice needles to condense one after another, gleaming with a cold light...

"It's over..."

Han Hua's heart sank. He took a deep breath, suppressed his injuries, and conjured a protective shield in front of him with a flick of his sleeve.

"Um?!"

Just then, Qin Kairong suddenly looked up, her brows furrowed, and looked to the side. She happened to meet Yu Changsheng, who was passing by, across the sea. Her hand paused for a moment, and she squinted as she looked him over.

Yu Changsheng looked at everyone with a cold expression, shook his head and didn't intend to pay any attention. So he continued to drive the spirit boat across the waves without saying a word, and was about to leave.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Seeing this, Old Wei merely glanced at him and naturally didn't bother to pay any attention.

Qin Kairong, on the other hand, looked at Yu Changsheng and the others warily. Unable to discern their cultivation levels, her eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Seeing this, Han Hua and the other two standing nearby lit up. Seeing that Yu Changsheng and his group were about to leave, they panicked and shouted:

"Fellow Daoists, we are from Jiaolong Island. We do not ask for your rescue, but we beg you to send a message to our island lord after you descend the mountain. I, Han Hua, was killed by Qin Kairong of the Wuzhi Pirate Gang because she killed us to steal our treasures, specifically the inner core of a fourth-tier sea beast that we obtained at sea!"

"At that time, my island lord will surely reward you handsomely; you will be eternally grateful."

After she finished speaking, the air suddenly went still. Qin Kairong turned her head sharply to look at Han Hua, her face dark and her murderous intent exposed.

"Shut up!"

Yu Changsheng paused, looked down at Han Hua, who was pursing his lips and had a pale face, his brows furrowed, and he spoke softly:

"Not interested."

After saying that, Yu Changsheng looked at Qin Kairong and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

A sudden voice rang out; it was Qin Kairong, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. Her gaze sharpened as she stared intently at Yu Changsheng and the others, her lips twitching, her face revealing hostility.

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, but instead of looking at Qin Kairong, he looked at Elder Wei.

Old Wei remained calm, glanced at the crowd below, and said to Yu Changsheng, "The fourth-tier sea beast, Tenghai Dragon, is not very strong, but its bloodline is extremely rare. It is the best food for spirit beasts of the same attribute and is very valuable. It is just right for the Xuan Turtle."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng understood and nodded slightly, his cold gaze fixed on Qin Kairong.

Qin Kairong gritted her teeth, her brows furrowing, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. After careful consideration, she spoke in a sinister tone:

"I didn't want to keep you here, but since you've all heard it, I have no choice but to do this to prevent you from telling on me."

In Qin Kairong's mind, although he was not quite sure about the cultivation levels of Yu Changsheng and the others, judging from their situation, his own youthful appearance suggested that they were probably not that powerful either, otherwise they wouldn't have left in such a hurry.

Moreover, he was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation. In this sea area, as long as he didn't leave his Purple Mansion, he should be able to protect himself.

Faced with Qin Kairong's threat, Yu Changsheng chose to ignore it, instead turning to look at Han Hua, frowning slightly as he spoke:

Where is the sea monster's inner core?

Han Hua took a deep breath, looked at Yu Changsheng, and involuntarily lowered his head, murmuring softly:

"If you help me escape this predicament, I will reward you handsomely."

Seeing that she was being completely ignored, Qin Kairong's expression hardened, and then she laughed angrily, waving her sleeve and saying coldly, "Yunfeng, Yunhe, play with this guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, his two companions beside him sprang into action, raising their long swords high and slashing heavily at Yu Changsheng.

"So noisy!"

Yu Changsheng frowned, looking at the two of them. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He neither dodged nor flinched. He stretched out a finger, his physical strength erupted, and his blood and qi surged and condensed into a giant finger. He flicked it at the two who were rushing towards him!

"swing!"

The next moment, the longswords in Yunfeng and Yunhe's hands were deflected, and their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings, mouthfuls of blood flowing from their mouths and staining the void.

Yu Changsheng remained unmoved, his expression cold and stern. His blood surged, and he once again formed a giant blood-red hand in the sky, which he then slashed at the two people who were flying backward!

"Boom!"

In an instant, all the bones in Yunhe and Yunfeng's bodies shattered, their eyes bulged out, and before the fear on their faces could completely solidify, two balls of flame spontaneously combusted from their bodies. Without a single scream, their bodies were completely reduced to ashes and scattered by the wind.

"What?"

"How is that possible? You're the Purple Mansion True Lord?!"

Qin Kairong froze, screamed, looked at Yu Changsheng with undisguised terror in her eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, turned to run away.

It was fast, too fast. From the moment Yu Changsheng made his move to the end, it was only two breaths, yet he had already suppressed Yunhe and Yunfeng. In Qin Kairong's view, this kind of strength was unfathomable, something only someone at the Purple Mansion level could possess.

Therefore, he could not escape, and his heart trembled with fear, which filled his mind and made him secretly regretful.

"Would it do any good to run away?"

Yu Changsheng watched Qin Kairong's fleeing figure, shook his head indifferently, flicked his wrist lightly, and in the next instant, a sword light suddenly flashed past.

"puff……"

The next instant, a head silently flew off. (End of Chapter)
