"Island Master Li, your Crystal Clam Boat was refined from the Mirage Crystal Clam, right? How deep can it go in the water? "Ancestor Xuanyuan asked as he sized up Li Yizhan's water escape magic treasure. From his words, it seemed that he had a water escape magic treasure as well.
"My magic treasure can go as deep as seven thousand feet," Li Yizhan replied.
"Seven thousand feet?" Weisuo couldn't help but feel jealous. He had tested it once or twice in the Hibernating Sea of Qi. His Water Avoidance Magic Pearl couldn't go as deep as three to four thousand feet.
"Of course we'll use Island Master Li's magic treasure," Ancestor Xuanyuan said. Patriarch Xuanyuan said, "The Water Escape Dharma treasure I have is a Dharma treasure refined by an aristocratic family in the Sea Immortal City. It can go no deeper than five hundred feet into the water, far better than your Dharma treasure."
"If that's the case, then please board the boat." Li Yizhan smiled and pointed his finger. A ripple of light flashed on the Crystal Clam Boat and a transparent clam shell flipped up.
Daoist Huo Yun put away the Li Huo Boat. After the group of people entered the strange water escape magic treasure, the clam shell on the magic treasure closed down. With a soft sound and a small splash, the magic treasure sank into the water and disappeared from the surface of the sea.
"Island Master Li, did you refine this magic treasure?"
Wei Suo sized up his surroundings in amazement. After entering the water, not only was he able to see his surroundings clearly through the transparent clamshell, he didn't feel stuffy in the slightest. Furthermore, this flying transcendent artifact's speed in the water seemed to be even faster than Wei Suo's White Jade Crane flying in the sky.
"I don't have such good refining skills. This magic treasure was made by Tianhui City's Tool Refinement Master, Huo Xie. If Elder Wei can hunt a Mirage Crystal Clam, I can introduce this Tool Refinement Master to help you refine it, "Li Yizhan said with a smile as he saw Weisuo's envy.
"Island Master Li, this magic treasure can be opened underwater, right?" Xuanyuan asked Li Yizhan. He also seemed to think that the water escape magic treasure was very good, and he glanced at Li Yizhan.
Li Yizhan nodded. "You can open it, but you have to stop when you open it. Otherwise, the power of the formation won't be able to stop the seawater from pouring in. "
"Since that's the case, Island Master Li, please open it so that I can use some concealment techniques."
"That would be great." Li Yizhan reached out and pointed. After the crystal clam boat stopped, the upper shell flipped up again. After flipping up, there was a layer of transparent spirit light that isolated the seawater. Patriarch Xuanyuan slightly waved his hands and threw out over ten furry green plants.
These dozens of green plants, which looked like little pompoms, stuck to the shell of the crystal clam boat and grew rapidly. They grew into many wide green algae.
After the crystal clam boat closed, it looked like a mass of green algae floating in the seawater. In the pitch-black seawater, all the spirit light of the crystal clam boat was covered.
Patriarch Xuanyuan did this with the intention of not being discovered by the Yin Corpse Sect. It was best not to be discovered by the Yin Corpse Sect to reduce the trouble as much as possible.
However, what Patriarch Xuanyuan and Weisuo didn't know was that at this moment, a large number of escape lights were approaching the sea area where the ancient cultivator's relics were located from the opposite side of their position.
At this moment, the sky was already bright. From the four to five thousand feet high Kongsang Island, which could be regarded as one of the landmarks of this sea area, one could see nothing but emptiness on the surface of the sea. It was impossible to see anything.
However, if one looked carefully, one would see that there was always a layer of gray clouds above the empty sea surface thousands of miles away from the Kongsang Island.
The sea surface below the gray clouds also seemed to be empty.
However, if a cultivator really approached the sea surface and scanned it with their divine sense, they would immediately be inexplicably repelled. They would feel that there was an inexplicable restriction around the sea area.
Inside this inexplicable restriction, there was an extremely shocking scene.
From the outside, it looked completely empty on the surface of the sea. However, it was filled with islands of various sizes. These islands were all connected together, and there were some differences from the information that Daoist Huo Yun and Li Yizhan had previously discovered. Although Daoist Huo Yun and Li Yizhan had certainly explored this place before, they clearly didn't enter this inexplicable restriction with the effect of illusion. Therefore, they only thought that it was at most tens of thousands of miles in radius. However, in reality, the islands inside this restriction were tens of thousands of miles in radius. It was clearly a small piece of land.
Among the large and small islands, many places were shrouded in unique brilliance and various colors of spirit fog. It was impossible to see the scene inside from the periphery of the island.
At this moment, on the west side of the island, about a hundred miles away, there were no less than a hundred cultivators gathered.
These cultivators wore magic robes of various colours and their cultivation bases varied. However, most of them gave off a sinister feeling. Many of them had faces that were much paler than the average cultivator. Just a glance at them would cause others to feel extremely uncomfortable.
The hillside where these cultivators were on was actually a staircase like a terraced field. These cultivators stood on these stairs in order.
However, the area several hundred feet behind these cultivators was shrouded in a black spiritual mist. Furthermore, there were flashes of white light from time to time, mixed with a sound similar to that of a wolf's howl. The steps near the black spiritual mist seemed to be condensed with thick layers of ice.
At the top of the stairs, there was a black coffin with longevity runes. When one saw it, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.
And on this black coffin sat a black-robed old man who looked to be about 50 years old with a wooden expression.
The black-robed old man's face was thin and shriveled, and his eyes were green. His black daoist robes were also covered with runes that resembled the character for longevity, just like the black coffin. If a normal cultivator were to see this, they would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable regardless of their cultivation base.
But what was even more shocking was that the spirit Qi emitted by this black-robed old man was black and took the form of fist-sized black skulls. It was extremely eerie and terrifying!
Spirit Qi took form. It was clear that this black-robed old man was a genuine Jin Dan cultivator!
Suddenly, a transparent light pattern flashed on the surface of the sea. A tall and thin gray-robed cultivator stepped on a Purple Demon Nascent Soul shrouded in Devil Qi and passed through the invisible restriction of the ancient ruins without any hindrance, revealing his figure.
From within this restriction, it was impossible to see what was happening on the surface of the sea. Furthermore, judging from how this tall and thin grey-robed cultivator was able to enter without any hindrance, it was clear that the restriction in that direction had been broken through using some sort of method. A crack had opened up, and it only had the effect of obscuring one's vision, but it didn't have the defensive power to prevent others from entering.
"The other party is already preparing to break the outer restriction!" This cultivator didn't stop at all and flew all the way to the black coffin before landing on the stairs below. He bowed to the black-robed old man with green eyes on the black coffin. "It's someone from the Brilliant Fire Palace."
"Someone from the Brilliant Fire Palace?!"
Hearing this, the hundreds of cultivators gathered below were in an uproar. Many of their faces were filled with shock.
"If it wasn't a sect like the Brilliant Fire Palace, how would you dare to come here so arrogantly? You can't even think of this. Are your brains a pile of rotten meat?!"
"Although the Brilliant Fire Palace is known as the number one sect in the western part of the Cloud Spirit Continent, its strength is still slightly inferior to our Yin Corpse Sect. Just because the Brilliant Fire Palace's sorcery has a restraining effect on our Yin Corpse Sect's sorcery, you might as well withdraw from the Yin Corpse Sect right now. Otherwise, I'll just end all of you and save you from disgrace!"
The eyes of the black-robed old man on the black coffin flashed with a faint green light as he suddenly spoke coldly.
Although his voice wasn't loud, the hundreds of cultivators' expressions immediately changed. They were as silent as cicadas in winter. The terrace-like stairs along the hillside instantly fell silent.
The black-robed old man then coldly asked the gray-robed skinny cultivator who rushed over with the Purple Demon Nascent Soul, "How many people did the Brilliant Fire Palace send?"
"About two hundred. There should be at least two Jin Dan cultivators." The gray-robed cultivator who was standing on the strange Purple Demon Nascent Soul that occasionally blinked and was shrouded in purplish black demonic Qi was extremely calm. He answered in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "One of the Jin Dan cultivators has an extremely dense white auspicious light surrounding him. He doesn't cultivate a fire-attribute sorcery. He should be Daoist Bao San's Demonic Parasol."
Looking at the grey-robed cultivator whose expression did not change, the eyes of the black-robed old man, who made people feel a chill in their hearts, flashed with a hint of satisfaction. However, he only nodded slightly and did not say anything.
After about half an incense stick's worth of time, a white light flashed from the black spirit mist that was filled with ghostly wails and wolf-like howls. A young cultivator wearing white Daoist robes and holding a white bone pearl emerged from the mist. He panted violently and appeared to be exhausted.
"What's the situation inside?" The black-robed old man's eyes flashed with a faint green light and he directly asked.
The young cultivator wearing white Daoist robes immediately bowed and replied, "In about three more incense sticks' worth of time, my master and Martial Granduncle Ye should be able to break through the restriction."
The black-robed old man nodded and still didn't make any statements.
"Master, are we going to intercept the Fire Brilliance Palace cultivators or directly enter?" Seeing that the black-robed old man didn't give any orders, the gray-robed cultivator standing on the Purple Demon Nascent Soul couldn't help but ask.
"If it were you, what would you do?" The black-robed old man didn't answer and instead asked a question of his own.
"If I were to make the decision, I would allow them to enter. This isn't our Yin Corpse Sect's private property. Even if we wanted to intercept them, we wouldn't have a valid reason. If we were to force a battle, both sides would suffer great losses. " The gray-robed cultivator said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "In any case, we've stayed here for so many days and have some understanding of this place. Rather than injuring a thousand of our enemies and eight hundred of our own, it would be better to let them in. If they were to enter so hastily, the number of cultivators who would be killed by the restriction would likely be more than the number of cultivators we would kill if we were to forcefully stop them.
