CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: UNDERSEA SPIRITUAL LAND

The Silver Hook Sea Snake originally lived in the deep sea.

It is very rarely seen near the coast.

Top-grade sea snakes, about to break through, undersea spiritual land...

"Damn!"

Shen Xuan couldn’t help but curse.

The undersea spiritual land near the coast is extremely valuable.

It can be developed into a Tier Two island dojo!

Although the cost of construction is high, requiring the deployment of Tier Two Array Masters and consuming many materials,

but that is a Tier Two dojo that can pass down legacies to descendants!

No matter the cost, it is worth it!

The Zheng Family of Mingyang Island has completely erupted.

The entire clan mobilized, with the veteran Water Technique Foundation Establishment elder of the Zheng Clan personally leading the team to investigate.

On this morning,

Shen Xuan followed many loose cultivator Demon Hunters out of the city.

He found a secluded corner and used the Concealing Breath Technique and Invisibility Technique to secretly sneak into the sea.

Following the intelligence guide, he arrived at the area where the Silver Hook Sea Snake last appeared.

On the sea surface, more than a dozen spiritual boats were already scouting the vicinity.

The sea area was too vast.

Shen Xuan activated the Insight Technique, following behind one of the Zheng Family’s spiritual boats.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few cultivators who shared his idea.

At least a dozen, all at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation with Water Techniques.

They followed along idly.

Ahead, dozens of spiritual lights suddenly appeared, continuously chasing each other.

Someone used Spiritual Power to send a voice transmission in all directions: "A new undersea spiritual land has been discovered!"

"Tier Two spiritual land!"

"The Zheng Family of Mingyang Island wants to monopolize the new spiritual land!"

The transmission spread widely over the sea, and one transmission followed another, making it quickly known to everyone.

The surrounding cultivators all converged toward the direction indicated by the transmission.

Shen Xuan followed the Zheng Family’s spiritual boat to the location of the new spiritual land.

By this time, over a hundred cultivators had gathered around.

They were almost all at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation!

The largest four groups were already in a standoff.

Shen Xuan took a glance and immediately identified them.

Bishui Sect, Five Poison Sect, Mingyang Island, and the loose cultivators.

Among them, Mingyang Island had quite a few people, over thirty.

The loose cultivator Demon Hunters were the most numerous, with seventy to eighty people, standing in formation behind two Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators.

"Fellow Daoists, please hear me out!"

The Zheng Clan elder transmitted his voice with Spiritual Power, resonating throughout the nearby sea area.

"What has appeared this time is not a new undersea spiritual land, but the closed cave mansion of an ancestor of my family from years past."

"I humbly ask all fellow Daoists to take into consideration the Zheng Family’s face and disperse quickly to avoid any troubles or injuries!"

Shen Xuan floated on the sea, watching with interest.

He wasn’t interested in the spiritual land.

No matter who it belonged to, it had nothing to do with him.

There might be some cultivation spiritual objects inside.

But for him, they weren’t nearly as important as the Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood.

Through the Insight Technique, the number of cultivators around exceeded a hundred.

But he was only wary of six people.

They were all Water Technique Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The others were not worth mentioning.

To his surprise, he spotted a familiar figure here.

A former hunting team partner, the Golden Technique cultivator Wen Zijian.

After seven years, he surprisingly broke through to perfection in Qi Cultivation.

He stood proudly on a Moon Blade Wheel, holding a Sun Blade Wheel, looking majestic.

Though not a Water Technique cultivator, reaching perfection in Qi Cultivation made him prominent among the many loose cultivators.

The Zheng Family had two Water Technique Foundation Establishments, the Zheng Clan elder, and the Zheng Patriarch.

The Five Poison Sect had seven cultivators, led by a black-robed old cultivator wearing a bamboo hat and emitting a faint poisonous smell.

In the talks among the Five Poison Sect cultivators, they respectfully addressed him as Elder Zhu.

The Bishui Sect had even fewer people.

Only five, four men and one woman.

The purple-robed old Taoist stood at the forefront, a Foundation Establishment Elder of Bishui Sect, with the Taoist name Qing Yuan.

He appeared to be around a hundred years old, but his aura was exceedingly strong.

Standing on the sea, he seemed to merge with the water, protected by a blue glow.

Besides this, there were also two Water Technique Foundation Establishments among the loose cultivators, rallying them to maintain distance from the Bishui Sect, Five Poison Sect, Zheng Family, and others.

As Shen Xuan approached a little closer, the six Foundation Establishment’s eyes sparkled like lightning, and their Divine Senses scanned over!

For a moment, the six Divine Senses fell on Shen Xuan.

He smiled slightly,

completely surfacing on the water, standing on it without any traces of water on him.

He intentionally revealed himself.

Since he decided to contend for the Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood, he couldn’t remain hidden.

He needed to appropriately show some strength, so it would be easier to negotiate and trade with these Foundation Establishment cultivators later.

Though Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure was strong, it posed no threat to him.

Shen Xuan remained calm.

The six Foundation Establishment cultivators were all slightly shocked.

Wen Zijian whispered to a blue-robed loose cultivator Foundation Establishment.

That blue-robed Foundation Establishment glanced at Shen Xuan a few times and nodded.

"Talisman Master Shen, come over here!" Wen Zijian waved.

Following the flow, Shen Xuan gracefully moved over to Wen Zijian’s side.

"Talisman Master Shen, this is Tang Renhao, Elder Tang, known for his righteousness."

Shen Xuan quickly clasped his fists in salute: "Talisman Master Shen Xuan greets Elder Tang."

"And this is Zhu Jintang, Elder Zhu!"

"Talisman Master Shen Xuan greets Elder Zhu."

After completing the greetings, Shen Xuan stood beside Wen Zijian.

The two spoke in low voices for a few moments.

"Friend Wen, I need that Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood."

"Talisman Master Shen, rest assured. I will inform Elder Tang of your wish. Considering my position, he will surely stand up for you," Wen Zijian confidently said.

It seemed he had a close connection and relationship with Tang Renhao.

"Good. I feel like I’ve found a group!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

In this situation,

fighting alone was not a good choice.

Anyway, his target was only the Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood.

He could even purchase it at a high price.

Unless necessary, he would not take action against Bishui Sect, Five Poison Sect, Zheng Family, or other Demon Hunters.

Harmony is of utmost importance.

If he had to act, it would be with overwhelming might, striking with full force to avoid leaving future troubles.

A cultivator who hunted the Silver Hook Sea Snake could easily be besieged by others.

Once he had chosen a side, Shen Xuan no longer spoke, but listened to the negotiations of the four groups and six Foundation Establishments.

"This is no longer the territorial waters of your Mingyang Island. Whether it be the spiritual land or demon beasts, let it all depend on our abilities," said Elder Zhu of the Five Poison Sect.

"Precisely, Elder Zhu speaks the truth!"

Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang voiced their support.

The two of them held considerable prestige among the loose cultivators of Yunyuan Immortal City.

As their voices fell, the loose cultivators gathered around them cheered and shouted.

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhu says so, let it be determined by our abilities and fate!"

Taoist Qing Yuan pointed two fingers like a sword toward the deep sea.

Spiritual light fluctuated.

Where he pointed, a massive whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface, layer by layer pushing away the surface sea water.

In the dazzling spiritual light, the vague outlines of the undersea spiritual land could be seen.

Seeing this,

Shen Xuan was a bit surprised.

Taoist Qing Yuan was also using the Water Repelling Technique.

He seemed to have reached the stage of great success.

"Therefore, never underestimate any Sect Foundation Establishment!"

Shen Xuan reminded himself inwardly.

The Five Poison Sect cultivators, seeing this, hesitated no longer. Under Elder Zhu’s lead, except for two monitoring the crowd, the rest submerged into the sea.

The Zheng Clan elder and the Zheng Patriarch exchanged a glance, nodded, and, along with the elite disciples of the clan, cast spells and dove together.

Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang, unwilling to be outdone, took some Demon Hunters and each cast spells, diving into the sea.

"Is anyone else going down?"

Seeing no response, Taoist Qing Yuan collected the spiritual light and led his four disciples into the sea bottom.

Shen Xuan remained standing on the water surface.

Six Water Technique Foundation Establishments fought over the resources in the spiritual land.

The risk was too high!

It was more comfortable to stay on the surface.

No matter who hunted the Silver Hook Sea Snake,

he was willing to buy the Essence Blood at a high price.

He was quite wealthy now!

And he had Tang Renhao, the Demon Hunter Foundation Establishment, to back him up!

This time, he was determined to get the Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood!

Wen Zijian didn’t go down either.

As a Golden Technique cultivator, he was there primarily to support.

Half an hour later,

the sea water churned,

and rumbling sounds came from the undersea spiritual land.

Soon, cultivators’ corpses began to float to the surface one after another.

The majority were loose cultivators, a few were from the Zheng Family.

There was only one corpse belonging to a Five Poison Sect cultivator.
