CHAPTER 526: CHAPTER 517 CELESTIAL SEA SECT, WHITE WHALE ISLAND (FIRST UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

In the midst of the void, the corpse of the Earth Celestial Venerable fell.

As it fell, the body gradually descended toward the sea, but just before touching the ocean, it turned into ash and scattered.

The Pure Yang Immortal Sword was too sharp.

The Pure Yang Immortal Sword was the Island Guardian Divine Artifact of the Ancient Sword Island, surpassing Ninth Grade Magical Treasures and belonging to the Immortal Artifact level.

Even though it was broken during tribulations, it still possessed immense power of an Immortal Artifact, merely piercing the body of the Earth Celestial Venerable, with the Immortal Dao Laws eroding inside until it completely eradicated him.

"Cough, cough, cough! I won, I survived!"

Lu Xuanji laughed heartily.

To survive the pursuit of a Divinity Transformation, yet have them fall at his hands, is such fortune and pride.

After a slight cough, his body ached slightly, stashing away the Magical Treasure, his aura declining, dropping to the Seventh Layer Nascent Soul.

His Magical Power was exhausted, yet he couldn’t help but laugh.

A feeling of indescribable exhilaration pervaded his whole body.

Cultivating Immortality means avenging one’s grudges, repaying favors, understanding all causes and effects, enjoying enmities, only by having clear thoughts can one feel joyful, resulting in faster cultivation speed.

Now that his enemy had fallen, he felt indescribably relieved.

Lu Xuanji stepped forward, took the Storage Bag, wiped away the residual Divine Thought inside, and began counting the spoils of war.

Within the Storage Bag, there were only more than a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, a bit lacking in quantity; also a piece of Nine Heavens Divine Jade, about the size of a basin, glowing green, able to forge Sixth Grade Spirit Treasures;

Plus a piece of Profound Yellow Mother Iron, also Sixth Grade Material, roughly the size of a fist.

There were additional Elixirs like Bilou Pill, Creation Pill, Celestial Spirit Pill, all of which were extraordinarily valuable.

Counting these, Lu Xuanji felt he had struck rich.

A fortune indeed.

When a whale falls, countless small creatures are fed, when the giant of Divinity Transformation falls, the harvested spoils are immense, immense enough to make people envious.

"Hmm!"

Lu Xuanji opened a box, which contained a golden fruit.

"This is the Sun Fruit, if consumed by Fire Attribute Cultivators, it can purify their internal Magical Power and deepen their foundation... It’s a treasure from the Fusang Tree!" Lu Xuanji sighed, "However, this fruit is currently of little use to me."

He closed the box and placed it into the Storage Bag.

Then he searched and took all the Broken Swords and other treasures and stored them in the Storage Bag.

Later, he entered the body of a large fish to begin healing.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

On this day, the aura around Lu Xuanji erupted wildly like tides, the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged and formed enormous vortices.

As Spiritual Qi flowed into the body, Lu Xuanji’s momentum continually escalated, breaking through the barriers, advancing to the Eighth Layer Nascent Soul.

Magical Power increased, Qi and Blood heightened, his Nascent Soul became more tangible, standing in the void, immediately emitting a trace of destructive aura.

Thirty-three Magical Treasures hummed, nurtured by Qi and Blood and Magical Power, steadily enhancing.

He rested briefly and continued to ride the large fish onward.

About ten days later, he saw a massive island ahead, with cities, Spiritual Fields, Cultivators, Spirit Beasts, shops, etc., appearing very bustling.

Having drifted over the ocean for more than ten years, finally seeing signs of life brought indescribable joy.

...

On the island, there was a deep water harbor where massive sea ships docked, endlessly arriving one after another, steadily and orderly anchoring. Cultivators directed at the shore, and proceeded to unload goods, place them in carts, and transport them.

Lu Xuanji walked past the docks and into the depths of the island.

On the island, tall trees were planted forming windbreaks, shielding against the violent sea winds.

Rice fields stretched unbroken, stalks swayed gently, exuding a faint fragrance.

Cultivators walked within the rice fields, carefully tending to them, hoeing the soil, clearing pests, and more.

In the distance was a gigantic city, built with black stone, stretching for dozens of miles, with Cultivators patrolling the city walls, vigilant of the surroundings; the city gate was huge, three zhang high, one zhang wide, armed Cultivators watched pedestrians cautiously.

Cultivators presented their tokens.

Once identities were confirmed, entry was permitted.

If there was no token, a hundred Spirit Stones were needed for purchase.

Spending a hundred Spirit Stones, Lu Xuanji purchased a token and entered the city, with his Divine Thought scanning the token immediately confirming its functions.

The token served as an identity card, and also had positioning capabilities to restrict certain Cultivator behaviors.

Inside the city, Lu Xuanji looked around; there were many shops, very bustling; the flow of people was heavy, but there were also many impoverished lower-level Cultivators, barely making ends meet.

In the city, renting a room casually costs over a thousand Spirit Stones per year, speaking to the expensive housing prices. Yet many lower-level Cultivators wouldn’t mind spending large amounts of Spirit Stones to rent shops or some Cave Mansions in the city to earn a living.

Simply because the city was very safe.

In the city, fighting and killing were prohibited, any issues were directly resolved on the life-and-death platform.

Outside, if a Golden Core Cultivator disliked a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they could directly kill them, adhering to the principle that strength reigns supreme; but within the city, a Golden Core Cultivator couldn’t kill a disliked Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

For many lower-level Cultivators, while the housing market within the city was high, it was also a safe haven.

Just then, a ten-year-old boy stepped forward, asking, "Senior, do you need a guide? I’m familiar with everything here, and I can show you the way. I only need ten Spirit Stones to be your guide for a day!"

"Alright, thank you!"

Lu Xuanji said, waving and tossing over twenty Spirit Stones.

The boy accepted the Spirit Stones with a look of disbelief.

He had met many high-level Cultivators, yet this was the first one to thank him.

"Senior, where do you wish to go?"

The boy asked.

"Tell me, what’s the name of this city, what about this island, and are there any major forces nearby?" Lu Xuanji asked consecutively.

"Senior, this island is called White Fish Island, and this city is called White Fish City. In this city, the Zhao Family is the dominator, with a Golden Core Cultivator recognized as the overlord within the surrounding dozens of islands." The boy said, "The biggest force here is the Celestial Sea Sect. It’s said there are three Divinity Transformations stationed."

"The Celestial Sea Sect governs a hundred thousand islands, the biggest island being White Whale Island, which spans a million square kilometers, has numerous Cultivators, plentiful resources, and many Nascent Soul Great Cultivators walking among them."

Talking about Golden Core filled his eyes with envy.

Lu Xuanji queried more, and the boy responded.

Gradually, information about this sea region, approximate geographical layouts, etc., appeared in memory.

"Does the Celestial Sea Sect have Teleportation Arrays?"

Lu Xuanji asked.

"Senior, that I don’t know." The boy said embarrassedly, "I’m only at the Fifth Layer Qi Refining, these things I don’t know!"

Lu Xuanji asked, "Are there any special products here?"

"White Fish Island is known for a type of white fish that’s incredibly delicious to eat!" The boy began introducing.

Lu Xuanji inquired further.

A series of questions and answers quickly led them to a shop.

Inside the shop, there was a presence of Golden Core aura.
