Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi and Wu Qingshan exchanged a glance and immediately followed Xue Qiang, leaping onto the island.

This island is extremely large and teeming with life and spirit.

Chen Yi immediately sensed that this island was unusual; in addition to being filled with spiritual energy, it also had a very strong malevolent aura.

This reminded him of his experience fighting Gu Xinghan in the Antarctic Fire Plains some time ago.

Xue Qiang looked up at the sky and led Wu Qingshan and the others forward.

At this moment, night has enveloped the entire East China Sea.

A full moon rises from the sea, its bright light spilling down and instantly creating a faint silver glow.

The originally pitch-black night sky, reflected by the ocean and moonlight, gave the surrounding scenery a hazy, dreamlike glow.

Chen Yi, Xue Qiang, and the others were able to barely see their surroundings by the moonlight.

Xue Qiang remained silent as he led them through the dense forests of the island.

Before long, Chen Yi noticed several flashes of light ahead, and the malevolent aura was growing stronger.

"Follow my orders and do not act rashly," Xue Qiang instructed, turning his head.

He took the lead and walked forward, with Chen Yi and the others having no choice but to follow behind him.

Before long, the group arrived at a small hill.

On the open ground near the small hill, bonfires have already been lit.

Chen Yi stared intently ahead and saw that the overwhelming murderous aura was emanating from several black-robed figures in the open space.

These people, dressed in black robes and exuding the same menacing aura as the evil cultivators of the Antarctic Fire Plains, were dressed in the same black robes.

The leader was an old woman in black robes, whose cultivation level had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, seemingly even stronger than Xue Qiang.

They gathered together and began to form a formation based on people.

Waves of malevolent energy surged into the sky, constantly impacting the array barrier on the small mountain peak.

"This, this could be a cultivator's cave dwelling?!" Chen Yi was secretly shocked.

When Xue Qiang saw the old woman in black robes, a flash of anger crossed his eyes, and he clenched his fists.

"You cover me. If they spot me, immediately block them," Xue Qiang said coldly.

Chen Yi spoke first:

"Senior Xue, the opponent is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. With our strength..."

Xue Qiang's expression turned cold. He took out a golden talisman from his storage bag, held it in his hand, and said:

"Don't worry, as long as the talisman is successfully cast..."

"These heretical cultivators are nothing to worry about. When we obtain the treasures, I can share some with you."

Chen Yi sneered inwardly, knowing Xue Qiang's personality; he would probably discard him as soon as he had served his purpose.

But he didn't refuse; instead, he confidently agreed.

Wu Qingshan's face was ashen. Xue Qiang was basically sending them to their deaths. If the old woman in black robes made a move, they wouldn't be able to stop her at all.

Chen Yi secretly gave Wu Qingshan a look, signaling him not to make any rash moves.

At this moment, Xue Qiang channeled spiritual energy into the golden talisman.

The golden talisman floated leisurely in mid-air, and bursts of light and pressure gradually spread out.

Although the two sides were far apart, the pressure and radiance emanating from the talisman immediately attracted the other party's attention.

The old woman in black robes suddenly turned her head and saw Xue Qiang and the others not far away.

However, as the core of the human formation, she simply couldn't spare the time to deal with Xue Qiang and the others.

"You three go and stop him, don't let him activate the talisman!" the old woman in black robes shouted.

Upon hearing this, the three men in black robes beside her immediately stopped and rushed towards Chen Yi and the others.

Chen Yi and Wu Qingshan both turned to look at Xue Qiang, who gestured for them to immediately stop the man in black.

"Old Wu, Tingting, lure them away first," Chen Yi said in a deep voice.

Chen Yi realized that his opponents were all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and that if he made a rash move, there would definitely be casualties.

The three black-robed evil cultivators were all at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Beside the old woman in black robes were two men in black robes, one at the eighth level of Qi Refining and the other at the ninth level.

However, they needed to maintain their malevolent aura, which is why they couldn't deal with Chen Yi and the others.

Wu Qingshan was a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator, but he was too old and his strength was far less than before. Wu Tingting's cultivation level was even lower than Chen Yi's, so Chen Yi had no choice but to rush to the front.

Holding the Blazing Sun Sword, he immediately activated the Blazing Sun Furnace Technique with all his might.

He, Wu Qingshan, and Wu Tingting turned around and led the three men in black robes aside.

The three black-robed evil cultivators pursued relentlessly, and the distance between them continued to close.

Chen Yi changed direction and led Wu Qingshan and the other man around the open space, pretending that they wanted to take a detour to attack the old woman in black robes.

Seeing this, Xue Qiang couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected Chen Yi to work so hard.

In this way, the attention of the old woman in black robes and others will be drawn to Chen Yi.

As Chen Yi and his group drew closer to the black-robed evil cultivator, they were forced to engage in close combat.

Holding the Blazing Sun Sword, Chen Yi slashed at Shou Xin, and streams of blood flowed from the wound, instantly covering the entire blade.

In an instant, the Blazing Sun Sword burst forth with dazzling light, and the blood burned like flames.

Wu Qingshan held a harpoon, while Wu Tingting took out a long whip. The two stood behind Chen Yi, ready to strike at any moment.

"Don't linger in the fight, fight and retreat simultaneously," Chen Yi whispered.

The next moment, three black-robed evil cultivators rushed in front of them.

Chen Yi made the first move, and his Blazing Sun Sword immediately pierced the black-robed man's vital points.

The black-robed evil cultivator held a black sail, and bursts of malevolent energy erupted from it as if it were a tangible object. With a forceful pull, the black sail crashed down towards Chen Yi.

Chen Yi did not take the attack head-on. Instead, he dodged the black sail by shifting his body and thrust his Blazing Sun Sword straight at the target.

At this moment, Wu Qingshan and his companion were also fighting against the other two men in black robes.

However, apart from Chen Yi being able to hold his own against the other side, Wu Qingshan and Wu Tingting were instantly put at a disadvantage.

Chen Yi did not use his flying sword, Nine Cold Shadow Needles, or Spirit Insect Formation; he did not want to easily expose his trump cards to Xue Qiang.

Moreover, based on the estimated situation, the spirit-dispersing powder in Xue Qiang's body is likely to take effect soon.

Chen Yi focused intently on the black-robed man's every move, always managing to dodge his attacks. This was the advantage of having strong spiritual sense, allowing him to gain the upper hand in battle.

At this moment, Xue Qiang had successfully activated the talisman.

Golden sword energies instantly shot out from the golden talisman, rushing straight towards the black-robed old woman under Xue Qiang's control.

The old woman in black robes, who was breaking the array barrier, looked surprised as she saw the golden sword energy rushing towards her. She had no choice but to lead her two subordinates to retreat.

The golden sword energy dyed half the sky gold, shooting straight towards the old woman in black robes like a shooting star.

"Let's join forces to resist!" the old woman in black robes roared.

The next moment, all three attacked simultaneously.

A burst of malevolent energy erupted from them, then merged together, transforming into a giant python that instantly charged out.

The golden sword energy collided with the giant python, instantly unleashing shockwaves.

In an instant, the shockwave, carrying sword energy and baleful aura, spread out and swept up the sand and mud on the beach.

Chen Yi glanced sideways and saw that the sand and mud had completely covered Xue Qiang and the others.

"Boy, you dare to get distracted again? Prepare to die!" Seeing this, the black-robed evil cultivator slammed his black sail down at Chen Yi once more.
