"Second Senior Brother, how much further?"
Amidst the clouds above the Ying Ocean, a tall, skinny, and tanned young man asked. He was Lin Feng's sixth disciple, Li Yuanfang.
He was currently sitting cross-legged on the back of Jie Yu, who was in his true form, while Zhu Yi and White Light, who was in his human form, were beside him.
Zhu Yi's eyes were slightly closed, and his gaze was like the abyss of the deep sea. Amidst the calmness and indifference, there were tempestuous waves that were constantly flickering.
In the void above his head, a humongous tortoise light projection floated. Its length was even longer than Jie Yu, who was in his true form.
The tortoise's eyes were also as calm as the vast and boundless ocean.
Tens of millions or even billions of light pattern talismans on the tortoise shell on its back were constantly being destroyed and reborn, like bubbles in the sea.
These talismans kept combining without stopping for even a moment. From afar, it seemed to be a huge Eight Trigrams pattern.
"The Ying Ocean is filled with illusions that constantly cause interference. Fortunately, the information we've obtained previously has already pointed us in the general direction, so we can still find it." Zhu Yi's gaze was still as deep as the ocean. If one looked closely, they would discover that there were also Eight Trigrams patterns constantly spinning in his eyes.
However, Zhu Yi's tone was more relaxed. "It's not far. Following the direction we're heading in, it's about 500 kilometers away."
As he said that, Zhu Yi's expression changed slightly. "Oh, someone's already there. Looks like we're not the only ones who have received the news. Many people are interested in this Green Li Jade."
Li Yuanfang said calmly, "Judging from the current situation, the Green Li Jade is a treasure that has the closest relationship with the Ying Zhou Immortal Mountain. It's also the most valuable clue to find the Ying Zhou Immortal Mountain."
The group of people flew quickly and broke through the clouds. Suddenly, three small islands appeared in their line of sight.
Zhu Yi took a glance and immediately saw a faint golden radiance shining on one of the islands.
The source of the golden light was a short table made of green jade. As the green light flickered, a massive number of faint golden runes emerged, emitting a dazzling golden light that soared into the sky.
However, the golden light was suddenly cut off when it reached about a hundred meters above the island, as if there was an invisible barrier around the island.
After being blocked by the transparent barrier, the golden light began to distort slightly. It looked very unreal, like a dream.
Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, and the rest all came to a sudden realization, "So there is a powerful illusion on this island, this Qing Li Yu is trapped by the illusion."
At this moment, there were a total of five parties confronting each other in the sky above the island.
One of them was an old acquaintance. They were cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty, led by the Primordial Soul Realm expert, Dao Master Chang Le. The princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, Shi Xingyun, was also among them.
Of the remaining four groups, two were demons from Tianhuang Mainland and the other two were human forces.
Of the two demon groups, one was from the Golden-Winged Great Peng race. However, the Demon Great Sage leading them was not a Golden-Winged Great Peng, but a bird-type demon whose entire body was surrounded by black fog. It was the Sun-Swallowing Condor that had submitted to the Golden Roc Great Sage.
The rolling black fog seemed to be able to devour immeasurable light. Even the Golden-Winged Great Pengs beside him, who obeyed his orders, retreated to maintain a distance from him.
The other demon group was from the Dragon race. The Dragon King leading them was a Brontosaurus that had attained the Indestructible Demon Soul Realm.
The Dragon race had different Innate Divine Powers. Be it Jie Yu of the Smelting Black Dragon race, Bai Guang of the White Jade Dragon race, or the Falling Waves Dragon King of the Sea Dragon race, they were all the same.
As for the Red Thunder Dragon King of the Brontosaurus race, his race's Innate Divine Power was the ability to control the Eight Desolation Thunder unique to the Brontosaurus race.
In the history of the Brontosaurus race, there had once been a powerful expert who had evolved the power of the Eight Desolation Thunder to an extremely powerful level. Its power was almost comparable to the Thunder Emperor's Great Dao of Nine Heavens Thunder and the Grand Emperor's Chaotic Immortal-Slaying Thunder.
Although this Red Thunder Dragon King could not be compared to the ancestor of his race, his strength, which had attained the Indestructible Demon Soul Realm, was not to be underestimated.
The other two groups of human cultivators who were eyeing Qing Liyu and the others covetously, were dressed in the same uniform. Their white robes were embroidered with blue waves, and they had long swords hanging from their waists.
His magical power aura was as sharp as a sword and as vast as the ocean.
Two kinds of power concepts that did not match well were perfectly reflected in their bodies at this moment.
Without needing to see who the cultivator leading the team was, Zhu Yi and the others could recognize that these people were cultivators of the Canghai Sword Sect from their mana aura.
And the middle-aged man standing at the front of the team, facing off against Dao Master Chang Le, Red Thunder Dragon King, and Devouring Sun Great Saint, was Venerable Tidehark, one of the four Primordial Spirit great sword cultivators of the Canghai Sword Sect.
Compared to the Canghai Sword Sect cultivators led by Venerable Tidehark, the other group of human cultivators seemed very unfamiliar.
Everyone wore azure robes, but their dressing was relatively more casual. However, the aura of their magic power was also vast and ethereal. It was not inferior to the Canghai Sword Sect cultivators at the side. In fact, it was even faintly superior.
Facing them was like facing the vast sky.
Zhu Yi's gaze fell on the leader, and his eyes slightly moved, appearing more and more serene.
He was really too familiar with this person. Many years ago, when he was still living in the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, every morning he would wake up and greet her outside the courtyard. According to the ethics that Zhu Hongwu believed in, this person was his first mother.
And his real mother, Meng Bingyun, according to the rules of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, he could only call her aunt in public.
Zhu Yi's expression was calm, Silently looking at the woman who only looked to be around twenty years old, faintly saying: "Madam Shao, long time no see."
Compared to the official wife of the Marquis of Xuanji in Zhu Yi's memories, the madam of the House of the Marquis who had the title of Imperial Court, even though the woman in front of him had the same appearance, she seemed a bit younger.
Even though the Madam Shao in the House of the Marquis of Xuanji used treasures and pills to prolong her life and maintain her youth, in the end she still had a mortal body. Even if she took good care of herself, she still looked over thirty. Naturally the power of time would uncontrollably leave traces on her body.
And the Madam Shao in front of him, at a glance it was somewhat hard to tell her age. At a rough glance she seemed to be in her early twenties, but at a closer look she seemed to be a teenage girl.
The aura of the two were also completely different. The Madam Shao of the House of the Marquis was graceful and noble, having the bearing of a matriarch, but she was like a vine wrapped around a large tree. Her strength and aura originated from her being the Zhou Dynasty's grand tutor, the official wife of the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu.
Originated from her husband, originated from her position, originated from the laws of the Imperial Court.
But the Madam Shao in front of him displayed a powerful aura that originated from her own body, originating from the power of her own cultivation.
She only stood there calmly, completely unlike the Madam Shao in the House of the Marquis who maintained her demeanour, appearing to be very casual. But no matter if it was the Taoist Master Chang Le, the Crimson Thunder Dragon King, the Tide-Hearing Sword Venerable or the Devouring Sun Great Saint, they all had to maintain respect towards her.
Just by standing there casually, she seemed to faintly become one with the world, displaying a mysterious concept of being one with the world. Her mana undulations were as vast as the sky.
Apart from having the same facial features as Madam Shao, there was nothing else that was similar to her. Impressively, she was also a Primordial Spirit expert.
Zhu Yi could even keenly feel that amongst the five Primordial Spirit experts present, even though they were all at the first level of the Primordial Spirit or the first level of the Undying Demon Soul realm, the strength of the woman in front of him was the strongest.
He recalled that his master, Lin Feng, had mentioned the Way of the Heavens and Beings and understood. "The Way of the Heavens and Beings has a certain probability of helping a Primordial Soul adept to break through their current realm. If she completely masters the Way of the Heavens and Beings, I'm afraid there's a high chance that she'll directly reach the realm of Void Return."
While everyone was paying attention to each other, they also looked at Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, and the others.
That woman also stared at Zhu Yi, sizing him up: "Meng Bingyun herself isn't good, but she has a good son who surpasses my, Shao Qingcheng's children."
As soon as she said this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of a beautiful girl behind her. However, she lowered her head and did not look up at Zhu Yi.
"Oh, Shao Qingcheng?" Zhu Yi nodded, "So this is your real name, Mrs. Shao. But for me, it makes no difference."
"The person who caused my mother to vomit up blood and die that day was you. Your clone and your true self are the same."
"Although Meng Bingyun was deeply in love with Hongwu, even to the extent that her dao heart was shattered, she still tried to confuse Hongwu in the end." Shao Qingcheng said indifferently, "Our paths are different, and in the end, we can't work together. Such an ending is also inevitable. Even if I didn't make a move, Hongwu would have made a move himself."
Her tone was calm, but there was a strong confidence that came from holding the pearl of wisdom. It was completely different from Mrs. Shao in the Marquis's Manor, who was graceful and cultivated in the secular world. On the contrary, it was somewhat similar to Zhu Hongwu.
Zhu Yi's expression was also calm, and not a trace of anger could be seen. However, it caused everyone present to feel a faint chill in their hearts: "Those who follow will prosper, those who oppose will perish. Those who don't walk the same path will be killed? You are indeed the same kind of person as that father of mine. "
His gaze fell on the girl behind Shao Qingcheng who had her head lowered. Silently he said: "Although Zhu Yong and Zhu Le are the direct successors of Marquis Xuanji's title according to the law, this is the true successor of the path that you and my father have nurtured, right?"
"She's of the same bloodline as you guys. There's no need to lower your head, the killing intent and enmity in your heart towards me is already so strong that it's about to materialize and break through the clouds." Zhu Yi placed his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent: "If you want to kill your own flesh and blood, then make a move. It's just that you won't have the chance to regret."
The girl who had her head lowered all along raised up, coldly staring at Zhu Yi.
She took her mother's surname, her name was Shao Huayang. She was the child born from the union of Zhu Hongwu and Shao Qingcheng. Since young, she followed Shao Qingcheng in cultivating the Dao. Zhu Hongwu also often gave her pointers. No matter if it was her own talent, potential or current strength, she far surpassed Zhu Hongwu's disciples Zhu Yong, Zhu Le and the others in the House of the Marquis of Xuanji.
Right now she is already an early stage Yuanying cultivator. Her magical powers and combat ability far surpasses most of her peers. However, Zhu Yi's notoriety is known to the outside. Back then when he went to Tianjing City to take the exam, he killed a late stage Yuanying ancestor at the late stage of the Golden Elixir. This kind of combat ability is really heaven-defying.
That's why even though Shao Huayang was called out by Zhu Yi, she did not immediately reply. However, the enmity and killing intent in her gaze did not diminish in the slightest and was not concealed in the slightest.
Shao Qingcheng lightly raised her hand, blocking her daughter: "Right now you are not his opponent. Back then when I stopped you from leaving the East Sea, it was my mistake. But now you can no longer make a move and can only be dealt with by your mother."
Shao Huayang used magical power to reply in a muffled voice: "Mother, back then I already said that this child should not have been kept. He should have been dealt with long ago. I wouldn't have had to endure this anger today!"
