Yi Tian flew alone above the Demonic Sea. Ever since Ancestral Master Wu Ye ascended, he had been looking for the Black Tortoise that was waiting near the whirlpool.
After releasing his Divine Sense, he found that his Divine Sense could cover a radius of a thousand miles. However, he couldn't find any trace of the Black Tortoise. Without a free mount, he had to drive the boat himself.
Fortunately, ever since Patriarch Wu Ye had ascended, the dark clouds above the whirlpool had actually dispersed. Golden sunlight shone down from the sky onto the surface of the sea, dispersing the fog within a thousand miles of this area.
As a result, Yi Tian directly took out the Sun Corona Luo Geng. According to the sun's orbit, he could easily determine his position. After that, he took out the sea map and compared it to determine the direction of the return journey. Then, he took out the assault boat and rushed back.
The distance from the whirlpool to the Sky-sea Pavilion's deserted island was ten thousand miles. Fortunately, the journey was peaceful and he didn't see any high-level sea beasts. During this time, a few level 6 Deep Sea Tiger Teeth Sharks appeared at the edge of his Divine Sense. Yi Tian didn't want to cause more trouble, so he directly released his spirit pressure.
The spirit pressure of a late stage Yuanying cultivator spread thousands of miles away and directly intimidated the sea beasts. Then, they directly turned and swam in all directions.
The rest of the journey could be said to be smooth sailing. However, after driving the flying boat for a long time, Yi Tian couldn't get any effective supplies. The middle and high grade spirit stones in his storage bag were basically used up. Only a large pile of low grade spirit stones and a few supreme grade spirit stones were left.
These supreme grade spirit stones could naturally be used for other purposes, so Yi Tian had no choice but to use his Asura Dharma Body to absorb the spirit power in the low grade spirit stones.
Although the supply of spirit power wasn't much, it lasted for a while and smoothly arrived at the Sky-sea Pavilion's deserted island.
When he set foot on the island again, Yi Tian first visited the stone pavilion on the cliff again. Thinking about how three people came and one returned, he couldn't help but sigh.
He Weiming could only blame himself for not being born into a good family. Qian Lingzi had tampered with the cultivation method that He Weiming practiced, causing him to be easily drained of his spiritual power. Moreover, the cultivation method had left a fatal flaw in He Weiming's Divine Soul. He had no resistance against Qian Lingzi's invasion of his Divine Soul.
He turned around and looked for the cave where the long-distance teleportation formation was located. He went in to investigate. There were no signs of the teleportation formation being activated. This meant that the Thousand Spirit Abyss had not discovered the secret of the Kunwu Cave.
Although it was good news, Yi Tian did not see any clues left by Patriarch Li Huo to return to the Central Continent.
With that in mind, he was left with no choice but to hastily set up a mist formation outside the teleportation formation cave, concealing the entire island.
After doing this, Yi Tian once again flew into the sky. He took out the sea chart and used the Sundial Luogeng to locate it. Then, he flew in the opposite direction.
After flying for a few months, a vast expanse of white mist appeared in front of him. After entering it, it was very difficult to tell the direction. However, at this moment, Yi Tian felt his head heat up. He felt like he had been here before. He couldn't help but think that this was the border of the Myriad Dao Sea Region and the Demonic Sea Region.
Back then, he had discovered the hinterland of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion. As a result, he was no longer confused and flew straight into the depths of the mist.
He remembered that the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion still had a guardian sea beast. However, after not seeing it for so many years, he didn't know if it still recognized him. Fortunately, Qi Shanyun had left a beast control jade token. After taking it out of his storage ring, Yi Tian tried to use the jade token to summon a sea beast.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished. After a full quarter of an hour, there was no sign of a sea beast. Yi Tian curled his lips and shook his head helplessly. There were only a few possibilities for such a situation. Either the sea beast was too far away from him and was beyond the range of the jade token's message. Or, it had died of old age. However, this possibility was very small. Or, it had been hunted down by human cultivators.
After putting away the jade token, Yi Tian could only embark on his journey alone. After flying for a long time, there weren't many spirit stones left in his storage ring. He had also used up all the pills he could take. If he continued like this, he would have to eat the spirit plants and precious materials.
Yi Tian had been flying for a long time since he left the whirlpool. He finally found a place that he was familiar with. He immediately restrained his spirit pressure and flew high in the sky.
After flying for a few days in the white fog, he released his divine sense and found that there seemed to be a transparent barrier separating this sea area from the rest of the world.
After feeling overjoyed, he thought, "That's right. There should be a formation barrier set up by Elder Li Huo and Daoist Wu Xiazi. As long as I break through that barrier, I should be able to quickly pass through the Sea of Demons and return to the most chaotic area of the endless sea. Although there are still rogue cultivators like the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, they can be easily destroyed."
It didn't take long for Yi Tian to arrive at the edge of the transparent barrier. After scanning it with his divine sense, he revealed a smile. This formation was most likely set up deep in the sea. As long as he dived down and found the base of the formation, he would be able to break through it.
With that thought in mind, the green light around Yi Tian flourished and doubled the defensive barrier's strength. Yi Tian's figure fell vertically from the sky and dived into the sea not long after.
This sea was 30 miles deep. After diving down 100 feet, there was no light around him. Fortunately, he had experienced a sea battle in the South Sea, so this wasn't strange at all. He reached out and took out a few luminous pearls and flicked them at the water below.
Several beams of light streaked across the deep sea and illuminated the surrounding 100 feet. When the deep-sea fish saw the sudden appearance of the light, they immediately swam away.
As such, Yi Tian easily reached the bottom of the sea. Then, relying on his many years of attainments in setting up formations, he easily found the base of the formation deep in the coral reef.
After carefully examining the spirit patterns on the formation base, he found that they were all spirit patterns from the Tianlan Continent. It seemed that the level of this formation wasn't very high. It was just that the range of the formation was very wide. It should be considered a giant fog trap formation.
Perhaps it was because the materials used to set up this formation were too expensive. Back then, Elder Li Huo and Wu Xiazi couldn't find enough materials, so they could only give up on using spirit patterns to set up the formation.
After finding the node, Yi Tian hurriedly took out the Formation Breaking Awl and found a weak node near the formation base. He gently raised it and pierced it with the awl.
The transparent barrier that was like a cicada's wing only trembled symbolically before a two-foot gap was propped up by the Formation Breaking Awl. Seeing this, Yi Tian's figure flashed and entered.
After a while, he turned around and put away the Formation Breaking Awl again before slowly swimming up to the surface of the sea.

The northern and southern forces of the Myriad Tao Sea were divided into three in the south, six in the north, and one in the middle for thousands of years. The Blood Fiend Cave in the south, Heaven's Will City in the north, and the Devil Domain Sea occupied by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in the west formed a balanced situation.
However, hundreds of years ago, the City Lord of Heaven's Will City, Zi Wushang, died for no reason, greatly reducing the strength of Heaven's Will City. Although the new Yuanying cultivator, Mu Yunyan, joined in and was on the same level as the Third Palace Master, Huang Wanting, the Second Palace Master, was always at odds with them.
In the following hundred years, the Young Palace Master Zi Yuan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, increasing the number of Yuanying cultivators in Heaven's Will City to four. However, compared to Zi Wushang, the strength of the two middle stage Yuanying cultivators was still inferior.
Huang Wanting also didn't want to meddle in worldly affairs. In addition, she was injured in the battle on Dark Corpse Island many years ago, so after returning to the sect, she also lived in seclusion and entrusted the power to her Junior Sister, Lan Bing.
However, the three early stage Yuanying cultivators were unable to intimidate the originally vast sea. Those loose forces that were originally attached to Heaven's Will City gradually turned to the Blood Fiend Cave. After a long time, there were rumors that the strength of Heaven's Will City was not as good as before.
In the following period of time, the Blood Fiend Cave actually connected with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and began to further erode the sphere of influence of Heaven's Will City. Until now, the actual area under its control had been reduced to half of its original size, and the sects that had been divided up had all been integrated by the Blood Fiend Cave as their subordinate forces.
For a time, the strength of the Blood Fiend Cave in the Myriad Islands Sea suddenly leaped above that of Heaven's Will City. Even the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had gathered many Jin Dan cultivators under the leadership of three early stage Yuanying cultivators to harass and attack the islands that were originally controlled by Heaven's Will City.
A few decades later, these sects were unable to receive effective support from Heaven's Will City, so they could only change their faces and join the forces of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. It could be said that the current territory controlled by Heaven's Will City occupied 30% of the Myriad Islands Sea Area. However, the places that could be directly issued were limited to the northern islands and the surrounding thousand miles.
The current City Lord of Heaven's Will City, Lan Bing, and the Young City Lord, Zi Yuan, didn't seem to be willing to sit still and wait for death. In private, they actively contacted the various vassal forces and promised them many benefits, wanting to tie them to Heaven's Will City's battleship.
For this reason, they even thought of ways to organize all kinds of activities to strengthen the exchange. Today, a high-level auction was held at the largest auction center in the city on the main island of Heaven's Will City.
The one presiding over this auction was the Young Palace Master of Heaven's Will City, the newly advanced Yuanying cultivator, Zi Yuan. Beside her were Mu Yunyan and Lan Bing. It could be said that this auction had brought out all the Yuanying cultivators that Heaven's Will City could mobilize.
Most of the people who came to support the auction were mid to late stage Jin Dan cultivators who had originally submitted to the medium-sized sects of Heaven's Will City. There were also some Yuanying rogue cultivators who had specially come to support the auction.
After the auction began, Zi Yuan brought out several types of resources and treasures that were unique to Heaven's Will City. For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire auction house was stirred up.
The entire auction process proceeded in an orderly manner. Of course, there were also unexpected episodes. From time to time, the VIP room at the edge of the second floor of the auction house would directly participate in the auction with a price that exceeded the auction price by 50%.
Fortunately, this person also had a goal in mind. He specifically chose some precious materials and spirit plants, and didn't care about the finished spirit artifacts and medicinal pills.
After a few rounds, the three Yuanying cultivators followed suit. As long as it wasn't a malicious bid that disturbed the atmosphere of the auction house, it was fine.
As long as one followed the rules, Heaven's Will City would not deliberately suppress them.
The three City Lords were chatting and laughing in the middle of the private room. During this time, they were also analyzing the current situation. Suddenly, an incomparably strong spiritual pressure fluctuation descended from the sky. As long as a cultivator had a little bit of knowledge, they would be able to recognize that this was the spiritual pressure of a Yuanying cultivator. Moreover, its strength was much stronger than that of the three City Lords.
Needless to say, only the cultivators of the Blood Fiend Cave had such strength. Some of the timid cultivators in the auction immediately prepared to get up and leave. In such a fight between immortals, mortals would suffer. If they really fought, these Jin Dan cultivators would directly become cannon fodder.
Lan Bing, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned. She stood up and said with a solemn expression, "Let's go out and see what their intentions are."
Mu Yunyan and Zi Yuan also nodded in agreement. The three female cultivators directly walked out of the room and went to the spectator stand outside. Shaoqing's entire auction house was in an uproar. The many Jin Dan cultivators in the hall below had never been able to see the three City Lords appear together at the same time.
Looking at the three of them, Lan Bing was in the middle. She was wearing a blue robe and her hair was tied up in a bun. She was dressed like a married woman, but her face was still like that of a young woman in her twenties.
Behind her was Mu Yunyan, who was wearing a green dress. Because she was a Yuanying cultivator from the newly promoted City Lord's Mansion, she rarely showed her face in public. Therefore, her appearance really surprised the people below for a while.
Walking at the back was the purple-robed Young City Lord, Zi Yuan. At this moment, she was still dressed as a young girl. Ever since the previous City Lord, Zi Wushang, had fallen, she had deeply hidden her smile. Normally, she would appear with an unapproachable appearance.
The spiritual pressure in the air suddenly changed. Then, an even more powerful spiritual pressure instantly spread out and swept through everyone in the hall. After three breaths of time, it directly disappeared.
This time, the entire hall was in an uproar. There was more than one person who came. A trace of uneasiness appeared on Lan Bing's originally cold face. He Tianxiong was not easy to deal with, and his Senior Brother, Jiang Tiancheng, was even more ruthless. She was afraid that they did not come with good intentions. If she did not deal with them well, it would not be good if they fell out on the spot and implicated the innocent.
As the two spiritual lights slowly descended, Lan Bing hurriedly discussed countermeasures with the two people behind her in private. Suddenly, a rough voice came from the spiritual light. "Heaven's Will City is so grand. Today is such a grand occasion. This old man should have come to support you. I hope the City Lord will forgive me for being a little late."
However, there was not the slightest bit of shame in his tone. It was completely provocative. Lan Bing and the other two knew that this person's arrogance was at its peak. However, due to their lack of strength, they could not face him head-on. They could only wait for Huang Wanting to come out of seclusion.
The one who said this was He Tianxiong. As a result, Lan Bing could no longer remain silent. The other party had already fought to the door. If she did not take the initiative to attack, the sect masters and elders of the subordinate forces below would have second thoughts.
Lan Bing immediately walked forward and cupped her fists towards the two people in the light. "The two Fellow Daoists of the Blood Fiend Sect have graced Heaven's Will City with your presence. I invite the two of you to the VIP seats."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ordered her subordinates to give up the second room. Then, she walked forward and invited He Tianxiong and Jiang Tiancheng to take their seats.
