A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Soon, Gao Rushi took out a list that had been prepared in advance. The list contained one hundred core cultivators of the Ma family, including all the direct descendants of the Ma family, including Ma Yong!

"Issue my sect leader's order!" Gao Rushi's voice boomed, "Effective immediately, transfer the Ma family cultivators on the list to Blackwater Island to garrison and manage border affairs! They must depart within three days, without delay!"

The order was given, and although the Ma family cultivators were filled with anger and resentment, they dared not disobey due to the pressure from Zhou Xing and many elders, and could only reluctantly accept the order.

With the core members of the Ma family being transferred away, a large number of important positions in the Tianhaimen central leadership suddenly became vacant!

Gao Rushi pressed her advantage, implementing a second policy: "All vacant positions, regardless of background or faction, will be open to fair competition from all cultivators! There will be only one criterion—ability and contribution!"

This caused an uproar throughout the entire Tianhai Gate!

Ordinary cultivators who previously had no chance of promotion suddenly saw hope, and they were all eager to try, showing their full support for Gao Rushi's policies!

In just half a month, Tianhai Sect completely broke free from the influence of the Ma family and entered the era of reform led by Gao Rushi! Various policies were successfully implemented, and the entire sect was thriving.

Meanwhile, at Fulu Peak.

Inside Chen Yang's cave.

Chen Yang watched as the Ma family cultivators gradually left the sect and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not let his guard down—although Ma Jinshuo had gone to Blackwater Island, he was still a Golden Core cultivator and could return at any time! Once he found out that Ma Wei and Ma Xiu were the ones he had killed, or discovered his connection with the Southern Region, it would surely bring him to his death!

"Rebuilding the teleportation array and reconnecting with the Southern Region requires careful planning!" Chen Yang thought to himself. "We must eliminate Ma Jinshuo first before we can rest easy!"

However, he wasn't in a hurry; there was something more important right now—to improve his strength!

The following month.

Chen Yang secluded himself and devoted himself entirely to cultivation, aiming to elevate the three Dao Platforms of Metal, Fire, and Water to perfection.

After Gao Rushi became the sect leader, collecting cultivation techniques became exceptionally easy, and she quickly found a large number of metal and fire attribute cultivation techniques for Chen Yang.

With the support of his father-in-law Jiang family's resources, he had already collected all the metal-attribute cultivation techniques. Although Tianhai Sect didn't have many fire-attribute techniques in stock, Chen Yang easily obtained several manuals.

In addition, by killing Ma Wei and Ma Xiucai, they obtained a huge amount of spirit stones, pills and weapons from their storage rings. After exchanging them all for spirit stones, they managed to create enough cultivation resources!

On this day, spiritual light flickered inside Chen Yang's cave, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered wildly!

"Ding! 5 spirit stones have been spent to upgrade the Nine Nether Fire Jade Technique to the Lesser Completion stage!"

"Ding! 10 spirit stones have been spent to upgrade the Nine Nether Fire Jade Technique to the Great Completion stage!"

"Ding! 20 spirit stones have been spent to upgrade the Nine Nether Fire Jade Technique to its peak stage!"

"Ding! 40 spirit stones have been spent to upgrade the Nine Nether Fire Jade Technique to the Perfect Supreme level!"

System notifications rang out one after another, and the fire attribute platform within Chen Yang's body trembled violently, then burst forth with a dazzling red light. Streams of fire attribute rule power swirled around his body, and the fire attribute platform reached perfection!

"call!"

Chen Yang exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in them.

He glanced at the system panel: [Remaining Spirit Stones: 2.3 million]

Both the metal and fire attribute altars have been perfected!

Moreover, taking advantage of the opportunity to cultivate fire-attribute techniques, his weapon-refining skills also broke through to the perfect supreme level!

Now, the four Dao Platforms of wood, fire, earth, and metal within his body have all reached perfection, and he can faintly sense the aura of the rules of heaven and earth, taking a half-step into the Divine Power Realm!

However, the water-attribute platform only has two levels, and due to the lack of high-level water-attribute techniques, it cannot be further improved!

If his water-attribute Dao Platform is not perfected, he will not be able to truly break through to the Divine Power Realm!

"Sigh, water-attribute cultivation techniques are so hard to find!" Chen Yang shook his head helplessly.

Just then, the cave door was pushed open, and Qingyun walked in gracefully.

Seeing Chen Yang stop cultivating, her eyes lit up. She quickly stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek, giggling, "Chen Yang, you can finally rest! I've come to see you every day these past few days, but I was too embarrassed to bother you!"

"Senior Sister Qingyun, you're secretly looking at me, are you missing me?" Chen Yang smiled and put his arm around her waist, his tone ambiguous.

"You know perfectly well what's going on!" Qingyun's cheeks flushed slightly as she snorted. "I gave in to Senior Sister Ru the last few times; after all, she's the sect leader and very busy! So I thought I'd let her have her way, and I could ask you out anytime. But I didn't expect you to be so eager, forgetting even about women. Hehe, but today I'm not giving in; I have to protect my rights!"

Chen Yang laughed heartily, his heart also filled with longing.

Being with this long-legged senior sister is indeed very comfortable.

After some tender moments...

Qingyun nestled in Chen Yang's arms, her breath tired and sweet, and looked at him in surprise: "Chen Yang, why do I feel like you've become so much stronger? You're so much more powerful than you were half a month ago! Have you already broken through to the Divine Power Realm?"

"No, not at all!" Chen Yang chuckled, patting his chest as he said, "However, I've already reached the Great Perfection of all four Dao Platforms, except for the Water Attribute Dao Platform, which I can't upgrade because I lack high-level cultivation techniques!"

"What?!" Qingyun's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "Wow! Your cultivation speed is too monstrous! No wonder I felt like I couldn't keep up with you! Once you've perfected all five Dao Platforms and broken through to the Divine Power Realm, I'm afraid I really won't be able to handle it alone!"

"So, you'd better work hard!" Chen Yang pinched her nose and grinned mischievously. "Hurry up and win over Sister Rushi, then you two can come to me together, and you won't have to suffer like this anymore!"

"You're so annoying!" Qingyun blushed, covered her mouth and laughed, then reached out and pinched Chen Yang's soft waist. "Look how pleased you are! Don't worry, I'll handle her!"

She changed the subject seriously, saying, "By the way, you mentioned a lack of water-attribute cultivation techniques. I just remembered something!"

"Where? Is there a high-level water-attribute cultivation technique?" Chen Yang instantly perked up and sat up abruptly.

"Hmm!" Qingyun nodded. "Our Tianhai Sect is close to the sea, so we already have relatively more water-attribute cultivation techniques, but they're still scarce! Other places are even less likely to have them! However, I know of a place called Somaliao Island. The people on the island are famous for cultivating water-attribute techniques, and it's said that there are at least three high-level water-attribute techniques on the island! If you can get your hands on them, breaking through to the water-attribute Dao Platform will definitely be no problem!"

"Somaliao Island? I've never heard of it before." Chen Yang frowned. "Is it within the sphere of influence of the Tianhai Sect?"

"It doesn't belong there!" Qingyun shook her head and explained, "Somaliao Island is located at the border of the waters between Dongyuan Kingdom and Baisong Kingdom. It's not a large area, and the people on it are all pirates! They rob most of the passing merchant ships; they're extremely ruthless! Because it belongs to the Baisong Kingdom's sphere of influence, it's normal that you haven't heard of it!"

"Pirates?" Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and an excited smile appeared on his lips. "This Somaliao Island is just what I'm looking for! Are there any Golden Core cultivators on the island?"

"Have you ever seen a Golden Core cultivator willingly become a pirate?" Qingyun gave him a speechless look. "The strongest on Somalia Island is only a mid-to-late stage Divine Power Realm cultivator, and they only rob low-level merchant ships! With your current strength, going there would be like a one-dimensional attack, no problem at all!"

"Hahaha! That's great!" Chen Yang jumped up and hugged Qingyun tightly, excitedly saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qingyun! We can get both the cultivation technique and the spirit stones—it's a win-win situation!"

He is now eager to break through to the Divine Power Realm.

The appearance of Somaliao Island solved his immediate problem!

Two days later.

Riding the Fiery Dragon Beast, Chen Yang transformed into a streak of light, traversing the vast ocean and heading straight for the western Somaliao Island!
