Chapter 448 - Chapter 448 Chapter 253 Nascent Soul Jiao Dragon Terrifying As

Chapter 448: Chapter 253 Nascent Soul Jiao Dragon, Terrifying As Such Chapter 448: Chapter 253 Nascent Soul Jiao Dragon, Terrifying As Such Pot Cave Heaven, beneath Bone-Burying Mountain, under the shade of the big locust tree.

“Next month is your birthday, isn’t it?”

Su Ping looked at Shanawati with warmth and said,

“The path of cultivation also requires a combination of work and rest. For instance, when your master, I, am tired, I would go back to the brothel to listen to music…”

“Cough cough, this is a new Talisman Master course Jade Scroll that I’ve brought for you.”

“Additionally, you can study the talismans in this box to see if they can be enhanced.”

Having said that, Su Ping took away the previous wooden box, leaving behind a new wooden box and the Inheritance Jade Scroll.

In this new wooden box, there was a Third Tier Spring Breeze Rain Talisman that could speed up the productivity of crops in the Spirit Field.

Of course, it was not comparable to the effects of Fruitful Spirit Water, but on one hand, its range was quite large, and on the other hand, it did not require Fishing Coins to exchange.

For Su Ping, who was currently expanding production, this was very important.

Afterwards, Su Ping waved his sleeve.

Shanawati suddenly found the stone table in the small courtyard covered in a plethora of mountain and sea delicacies.

Shanawati, being at an age where she enjoyed eating, immediately brightened up.

All these mountain and sea delicacies were the handiwork of famous chefs from the Eastern Ancient Country.

The ingredients were all top-grade foods nourished by Spiritual Energy!

Even the seasonings used were products from the Immortal Cultivation World.

Setting aside their nourishing effects for now, at least the flavor was exceptionally good.

It lifted the spirits of Shanawati, who was used to eating Spirit Rice with dried Spiritual Meat.

Su Ping left behind the immortal crane he had previously used as a mount to help out,

Then he also left this mountain peak.

He took the black Jiao Dragon, Ao Li, with him back to the Immortal Cultivation World.

…

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there was a foreign island where the Southern Desolate refugee group had settled.

This area, which was thin in Spiritual Energy and where mortals rarely appeared in the past,

Was now quite lively.

Not only were there hundreds of thousands of both mortals and cultivators living on the island,

But the number of Immortal Boats coming and going in the sky had also reached the hundreds.

The number of Tower Ships and fast ships sailing on the sea was even more, totaling in the thousands.

The Big Arrays of several islands were always activated.

From time to time, a bolt of thunder struck out, turning sea monsters that wandered into this safe area into charred corpses.

And deep under the sea,

In addition to Big Black, who had received a Demon Core and patrolled around,

Sometimes Su Ping would let the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia out to go eat some sea flavors in the nearby sea areas where sea monsters were known to gather.

This ensured that the islands blessed by the Blood God Ancestor would not suffer from large-scale sea monster attacks.

An Immortal Boat from the Guardian Immortal City near the West Desert came carrying hundreds of cultivators and numerous precious gifts, reaching the island.

The sons and daughters of noble families, accustomed to the splendor of the Immortal City, naturally disdained the small town on the island.

Feeling the faint Spiritual Energy around them, their hearts felt even colder.

They had always thought that the Old Ancestor must have found a Spirit Vein offshore.

That was why he had moved to this foreign land; otherwise, with the Old Ancestor’s demonstrated strength, there was no reason not to occupy those Spirit Vein lands!

But they never expected this place to truly be a poor and remote area, and the number of mortals really was as rumored.

“We are almost at the destination!”

“Everyone, please take note.”

On the deck of the Immortal Boat, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator stroked his chin’s beard and said with a happy face,

“As agreed before, after going down, first take the gifts and the list to the City Lord Mansion to report.”

“Then stay well in the Inner City and don’t cause trouble.”

“Whether it’s those Low Tier cultivators or those mortals, do not provoke them!”

“This is not Immortal City; even your Old Ancestors cannot save you here!”

“This Blood God Ancestor is famous for disliking people who do not follow his rules!”

The last sentence, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator emphasized with Mana, making it a point of emphasis.

This caused a shudder among the noble children on the Immortal Boat, who nodded in agreement.

As the first representatives embodying the will and interests of various families,

They naturally could not be spoiled heirs.

What they truly felt was unknown, but at least they knew how to conceal and package themselves well.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the chance to be selected for this Immortal Boat!

“Sigh!”

“So many families want to take refuge under that Old Ancestor. I wonder how many will succeed in the end.”

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator glanced at the noble children related to him from the Immortal City.

As for their and his own future, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

With a higher vantage point comes greater foresight, and he was even clearer about how narrow the path of survival in the Immortal Cultivation World would theoretically be.

Thinking that you would guide others with your true heart, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator felt that there truly was a path of survival.

He estimated that only cultivators with talent like the genius seeds of the great sects might have a chance to be selected and taken away by the other party.

Otherwise, one would have to achieve significant merit, so that the other party could not deny their achievements and would have to give out a survival slot…

However, it seemed that such merit was not something these people could achieve, right?

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was thinking this.

Suddenly, he felt an enormous surge of Mana from the distant sea.

Following that, a domineering roar traveled from that direction.

Many cultivators with lower cultivation immediately weakened and knelt on the deck, with the majestic body of the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia appearing in their minds.

“It’s the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Pet, the giant turtle!”

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s heart stirred, and he exclaimed.

Then, using his Divine Sense, he communicated with the other few prominent figures on the Immortal Boat.

So they swiftly steered the Immortal Boat toward the direction of the Mysterious Turtle’s roar.

Like the one chosen by this Immortal City, there were many Immortal Boats and even Tower Ships.

Clearly, those forces that had come to support or curry favor with the Old Ancestor all wished to express their sincerity.

They were willing to aid in various matters and contribute their strength.

Out on the seas surrounding the island.

The Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia, as usual, upon detecting a gathering of Sea Monsters, rushed over, ready to feast.

Initially, the dining process went quite smoothly.

The Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia was already a Golden Core Divine Beast, and it thrived in the marine environment.

When its Divine Skills activated, with its gaping mouth, a single inhale and bite were all it took.

It could devour hundreds, even thousands of Sea Monsters.

As for the Evil Qi on the bodies of the Sea Monsters, the Mysterious Turtle simply treated it as seasoning.

However, as it ate, a giant Sea Snake with red eyes suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack on the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia.

Though it failed to break through the defenses and only managed to disorient itself,

it disrupted the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia’s dining rhythm and provoked its anger.

At the forehead of the giant Sea Snake, an eye split open.

Within the eye, the Illusion of the Evil God Nier emerged.

Having operated in this sea region for a long time, it had nurtured quite a few usable Followers of the Evil God.

This large Sea Snake was one of them.

It had come after repeatedly observing and discovering the patterns and habits of the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia’s movements.

It laid out a trap specifically targeting these habits.

And for this, it was not alone in its actions–other Sea Monsters nurtured by the Evil God Nier joined in the assault!

Deep beneath the sea, a giant octopus, only slightly smaller than the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia, began to ascend, extending its massive tentacles to entangle the turtle.

Beside the Sea Snake, another horned Sea Creature nearly matching the Sea Snake in size rapidly approached from tens of kilometers away.

As its speed increased,

this shark-like creature, with a hundred-meter-long silvery horn, even began to spin like a drill.

The horn, too, rotated continuously, like the bit of a drill.

The three great Sea Monsters besieged the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia.

It seemed rather reckless and impulsive to take on such a fight.

But even the Evil God Nier had to take early action, paying a bit extra for it.

There was no choice. The battle at Ten Thousand Mountains had become common knowledge among the circles of Sons of Gods surrounding the Immortal Cultivation World.

Even though the specifics of the battle were unknown, and the key figure’s Avatar was sent to the void, never to return,

the significant news of the Divine Mysterious Turtle’s appearance could not be concealed.

It stirred the other Sons of Gods as well, prompting them to begin their own scheming.

Nier was well aware of this fact, forcing her to act early and seize the initiative.

Otherwise, with her significant Avatar either sealed in the Underground Palace or the Earth Veins, she would undoubtedly be at the greatest disadvantage when the competition began in earnest.

Not far away, dozens of Immortal Boats quickly caught sight of the battling area at sea.

They saw the Mysterious Turtle Ba Xia pulling up a giant octopus to the surface and biting onto a horned Sea Creature,

shaking it vigorously while resisting the assaults from the Sea Snake.

Many Cultivators were left staring, dumbstruck, by the immense battle.

Even those from the large places of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Immortal City.

Many had never seen a Golden Core Cultivator more than a few times in their lifetimes.

Let alone such spectacular large-scale battles among beasts not inferior to Golden Cores?

While a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators aboard the Immortal Boats watched the tense battlefield, unsure of how to intervene,

the sky suddenly filled with the rumble of thunder.

In the midst of the violent wind and rain, a long dark shadow descended from the heavens,

struck the Sea Snake who was attacking again with the force of thunder and storm, and snatched it into the sky.

In an instant, it seized the Sea Snake, at least a kilometer long, into the heavens.

Then a breath of black flames burst forth, scorching the adversary,

followed by a fierce tear of its claws!

It ripped the Sea Snake in two with a single swipe!

Only then did the Foundation Establishment Cultivators aboard the Immortal Boats make out who the newcomer was.

“It’s the Incense Fire Divine Beast subdued by the Old Ancestor in the Southern Desolate!”

“My God, this Incense Fire Divine Beast is that powerful!”

“Am I feeling this right, these fluctuations of oppressive might! This black Jiao Dragon… It has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm?”

Countless people revealed expressions of disbelief and astonishment.

Especially some Cultivators who knew the inside story.

The black Jiao Dragon Ao Li had clearly still been in the late Golden Core period not long ago!

An Incense Fire Divine Beast at that, which typically rushed early growth but faced increasing difficulties later and was more prone to fall into Deviation!

How could it suddenly transform from Golden Core to a Nascent Soul Jiao Dragon?

And!

That’s a five-clawed Illusion, isn’t it?

Those are True Dragon scales and horns, right?

And that power within the imposing aura…

All signs pointed to the fact.

This was a Nascent Soul Jiao Dragon with just one step away from becoming a True Dragon!

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators silently commanded the Immortal Boats to retreat, widening the distance to avoid collateral damage.

As for offering help,

what help could they provide?

Didn’t they see a Nascent Soul Jiao Dragon had arrived? Slaying those giant creatures was as easy as killing chickens for it, what more could they possibly do?
