In the depths of the Calabash Bay's inner sea, a small boat that was as blue as the sea was sailing through the wind and waves.
The small boat was no more than ten feet long and three feet wide. Although it was not as grand and majestic as the big boats of the Sang and Yun families, its entire body seemed to be made of blue crystals. It looked magnificent, and its color was the same as the seawater, making it somewhat invisible. It was also nimble and nimble.
The boat was small, so it did not consume much energy. In any case, there were only three people on the boat, so there was no need for a big boat.
The three people on the boat were naturally Xiao Lingyu, Miling, and Ling 'er. They had been sailing the small boat for more than three months.
"I still don't understand. Why didn't the steward come here himself?"
In the past three months, Miling had asked this question more than once.
When he was talking to the steward in the Awakening of the Gods Tower, Miling did not hesitate at all. However, he still had some doubts in private.
"The steward is injured, so it's probably not convenient for him to go out to sea. Or perhaps his injuries are too severe, so he can't use force even if he goes out to sea," Xiao Lingyu guessed.
"Brother Xiao, this sister-in-law Ling 'er has just ascended, so her cultivation is still weak. Although it's not that dangerous to go out to sea, it will definitely be very dangerous. Why did you bring sister-in-law Ling' er here?" Miling asked in confusion.
"Haha, I brought her out to sightsee. The scenery in the Calabash Bay's inner sea is not bad," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
Ling 'er was indifferent to Miling's disdain. Although she had already become Xiao Lingyu's woman, she still stood behind Xiao Lingyu out of habit like a servant girl. However, her indifferent and ethereal demeanor did not make her look like a servant girl. Instead, she looked more like an extremely powerful bodyguard.
Miling could only roll his eyes and did not pursue the matter.
After interacting with Xiao Lingyu for a while, Miling could tell that Xiao Lingyu was very cautious and meticulous. Of all the wives he had, he had chosen to bring Ling'er instead of sightseeing. He felt that Xiao Lingyu must have plotted something.
In fact, Miling had already been to the Bewildering Sea Region twice. The entire Gourd Bay's inner sea wasn't like the Bewildering Sea Region where people would get lost. Naturally, Miling knew the route to the Bewildering Sea Region.
However, Xiao Lingyu did not let Miling sail directly to the Lost Islands. Instead, after a year at sea, she let the boat dock at a nameless island.
This island was actually not too far away from the outer sea of Gourd Bay. Ships rarely passed by here, and even fewer cultivators came out to hunt.
After the boat docked on the island, Xiao Lingyu took out the stack of formation flags the manager of the Awakening God Pavilion gave him and began to set it up according to the method.
In response to Miling's question, Xiao Lingyu explained, "Before going to the Bewildering Sea Region, it's better to familiarize yourself with this flag formation so that you won't panic. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a Nirvana Soul Stage sea beast without going to the Bewildering Sea Region."
As a Formation Dao expert, although this flag array was very brilliant, Xiao Lingyu had only studied it for less than half a year before he grasped the method of setting up the array.
This flag formation was called the Eight Faced Nirvana Flame Sealing Formation, and the formation flags used to set up the formation had a type of Nirvana Flame sealed within them. Even though every single type of Nirvana Flame couldn't be considered to be very formidable, it had the advantage of being numerous in number. Moreover, its might could be overlapped, and it did indeed possess the might to seal and annihilate sea beasts at the Rebirth Realm.
However, Xiao Lingyu wasn't a Nirvana Realm cultivator. He could only maintain this formation for two hours. Any longer and he would suffer a backlash from the formation.
Xiao Lingyu had never seen a Nirvana Soul Stage sea beast before, so he wasn't sure if the Eight-Sided Nirvana Fire Sealing Formation could really deal with one. It was also very difficult for him to find a Nirvana Soul Stage sea beast in the vast sea to test it out.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't someone in a hurry to succeed. After spending so much time in the Primal Chaos Spectrum, he had become very patient.
Even though he had mastered the method of setting up the formation and could control it, Xiao Lingyu still wasn't in a hurry to go to the Bewildering Sea Region. Instead, he continued to set up the formation on an island near the outer sea.
With the help of this flag formation, he and Miling had more and more sea beasts' fate pearls in their bags of holding.
There were very few cultivators hunting in the vast sea near the outer sea, so there were more sea beasts here. Most of them were at least at the 6th Celestial Layer of the Immortal Life Stage.
Even without using the formation, Xiao Lingyu could easily kill any sea beast below the 9th Celestial Layer of the Immortal Life Stage. If he encountered a 9th Celestial Layer of the Immortal Life Stage sea beast, he only needed to lure it into the flag formation to easily kill it.
No matter what cultivation level the sea beast was, as long as Xiao Lingyu encountered it, he would kill it first. In any case, his friends and family needed the fate pearls of low level sea beasts.
Another ten years passed and Xiao Lingyu finally found a Nirvana Realm sea beast.
Because the sea beast's cultivation level was far below the Nirvana Realm, Xiao Lingyu and Miling couldn't see the exact cultivation level of the sea beast. They could only tell that it was at the Nirvana Realm from the Nirvana Fire it spat out.
However, the Nirvana Realm sea beast was very cautious. When it got close to the island, it seemed to sense the dangerous aura on the island, so it didn't get on the island for a long time.
"Ling 'er, go and try. See if you can lure it over," Xiao Lingyu said to Ling' er on the island.
"Brother Xiao, let me go. Sister-in-law Ling 'er's cultivation level is too low. It's too risky for her to go out like this," Miling immediately suggested.
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Mi. She'll definitely be safer than you." Xiao Lingyu smiled confidently.
At this moment, Ling 'er had already made his move. However, as soon as he left the island, he mysteriously disappeared into the sea.
"Uh … Invisibility Spell?" Miling said in surprise.
Not long after, Ling 'er appeared again. He was not far away from the sea beast and had been targeted by the Nirvana Realm sea beast.
Roar!!
The Nirvana Realm sea beast opened its bloody mouth and a ray of fire shone out.
However, at this moment, Ling 'er mysteriously disappeared again.
In the next moment, the sea beast's Nirvana True Fire swept past the place where Ling 'er had disappeared, but it missed.
After a while, Ling 'er appeared elsewhere. The Nirvana Realm sea beast quickly turned around, but Ling' er disappeared again.
Just like this, the Nirvana Realm sea beast was teased by Ling 'er. It was led by the nose and gradually became angry. Unknowingly, it was brought to the island by Ling' er.
Xiao Lingyu, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted loudly. He used the hand seals and incantations that he had prepared beforehand and activated the Eight-Sided Nirvana Fire Sealing Array.
Suddenly, a few towering banners appeared on the island.
The black banners trembled and strong Nirvana True Fire spewed out, instantly turning the island into an island of fire.
The sea beast should have just entered the Nirvana Realm not long ago. It only lasted for less than a hundred breaths of time in the array before it gradually lost the strength to struggle and finally collapsed.
Xiao Lingyu gradually weakened the power of the array. When the sea beast's body was burned to ashes, he put away the array flags.
Miling went to put away the Nirvana Realm sea beast's Life Pearl with a face full of excitement. It was not the first time he had seen a Nirvana Realm Life Pearl, but it was the first time he had grasped a Nirvana Realm Life Pearl. Moreover, half of this Life Pearl belonged to him.
"What realm was that sea beast in?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"Judging from its Life Pearl, it should have just entered the Body Realm," Miling replied.
"The gap between the Body Realm and the Nirvana Soul Realm is not small," Xiao Lingyu said with a frown.
"In any case, we just have to try our best. If we can't do it, our own safety is the most important. This Eight Faced Nirvana Flame Sealing Formation can at least trap a Nirvana Soul Realm sea beast for a while. At most, we'll just have to give up on the flag array and escape, "Miling said with a relaxed tone.
No matter what, they had to give it a try. Facing a Nirvana Soul Realm sea beast was very likely to be an accident, so before that, it was better to use this set of flags to kill more sea beasts and obtain more Life Pearls.
If they really couldn't complete the mission, they would give more Life Pearls to the Lord Steward when they returned.
In the next 20 years, Xiao Lingyu, Miling, and Ling'Er traveled to the Lost Islands while using the Eight Faced Nirvana Flame Sealing Formation to hunt sea beasts' Life Pearls. During this time, they didn't encounter any accidents.
After 35 years, Xiao Lingyu's group of three finally arrived at the Lost Islands.
The Lost Islands were shrouded in fog as usual, so there were very few cultivators or ships that came close.
They still didn't directly go in. The three of them wandered around the Lost Islands to try their luck.
After circling the Bewilderment Archipelago for a few years and obtaining two Rebirth Realm Fate Pearls and countless Longevity Realm Fate Pearls, Xiao Lingyu finally decided to enter the Bewilderment Archipelago to look for moon attribute Soul Annihilation Sea Beasts.
Soul Nirvana Sea Beasts were already rare in the Gourd Bay, and Moon Attribute Soul Nirvana Sea Beasts were also very rare. With the two factors combined, Xiao Lingyu's chances of finding Moon Attribute Soul Nirvana Sea Beasts outside the Lost Islands were too slim.
Even if they were to search in the Lost Islands, they would need to be very lucky.
Just like last time, when they first entered the Lost Islands, they only encountered Immortal Realm sea beasts. Xiao Lingyu's group of three slowly moved deeper into the sea.
Before they found a Nirvana Realm sea beast, Ling'Er suddenly said to Xiao Lingyu, "There are some strange energy fluctuations on that small island."
Following Ling'Er's direction, Xiao Lingyu slowly steered the small boat towards that small island.
After boarding the small island, Xiao Lingyu wasn't in a hurry to find the strange situation on the small island. Instead, she first set up the Eight-Sided Nirvana Flame Sealing Formation.
After setting up the formation, she walked into the small island under Ling'Er's guidance.
After an hour, Ling'Er stopped in front of a small mountain in the middle of the small island. She said, "The strange energy fluctuations are in this small mountain."
"Strange, why can't I feel anything?" Miling said in astonishment.
"If you could feel it, I wouldn't have brought her here."
