Chapter 931: 934 Chapter: Lead the Way_2
Although the East Sea was still the territory of the Sea Clan, many years had passed, and the strength of the cultivators had largely recovered. Naturally, they were no longer licking their wounds as before but were gradually showing signs of expansion.
As a result, in the Thousand Miles Sea Region near the continent, cultivators frequently appeared, making it very dangerous. If this Sea Devil was truly favored, the elders wouldn’t let them come, and even if they did, they would surely arrange escorts and the like, but it had none.
Therefore, Jiang Fengwu was very abrupt and not afraid of the trouble that might arise from killing it. She immediately used her mana to condense a large knife, intending to chop off its head.
"Hold on! Wait a moment! I know of an opportunity! Just let me go, and I will take you there." Realizing that Jiang Fengwu was not joking, the Sea Devil immediately panicked, shouting hastily for fear that if it were a moment slower, the large knife would fall on its neck.
A strange light flashed in Jiang Fengwu’s eyes, just as it had spoken those words, the opportunity, which had originally lost its sense, emerged once more.
But it didn’t specify a direction, only telling her that the Sea Devil before her was the key!
"Speak everything you know, and I may spare your life!" Jiang Fengwu snorted coldly.
Already reduced to meat on the chopping board, still deluding itself that it could negotiate terms with her? Impossible!
Even if it refused to speak, Jiang Fengwu had plenty of methods to get the answer, only that the process would be slower and more brutal.
Feeling the chilling murderous intent around her, the Sea Devil dared not hesitate any longer and quickly said, "Several days ago, a streak of light fell from the sky and landed five hundred li to the northeast. Thinking it was some treasure, I hurriedly flew to check it out."
"By the time I arrived, a melee had already erupted. Over a dozen sixth-rank Great Devils were fighting over a Spiritual Object. I could only hide and watch, never expecting that the Spiritual Object was sentient and took the chance to flee."
Jiang Fengwu’s heart stirred, no wonder she suddenly couldn’t sense the opportunity’s location at that time. Yet her expression remained unchanged as she asked, "Do you know the direction the Spiritual Object fled, or its whereabouts?"
"I do not know..."
Jiang Fengwu’s expression darkened as she said coldly, "Is this the opportunity you spoke of?"
"Actually, the fleeing Spiritual Object was only an illusory avatar, not the real body! Those sixth-rank Great Devils were all deceived by the Spiritual Object," the Sea Devil hastily explained.
"Even the sixth-rank Great Devils were deceived, how did you know?"
"My innate talent is to see through illusions."
Jiang Fengwu narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "So, that treasure is now in your hands?"
"No, it is still on that island." The Sea Devil was somewhat embarrassed, "I can only see through illusions, but the treasure itself is obscure and does not belong to illusions."
It wasn’t that it didn’t want to take the treasure for itself; it just couldn’t!
"Come, lead me there to see. If what you say is true, I may spare your lives."
Jiang Fengwu said this, intentionally leaving a question unanswered, and the Sea Devil, naïvely thinking it had saved its own life, showed no reaction.
A five hundred li journey, just a moment later, the two of them landed on an ordinary-looking small island.
"Are you sure this is where the Spiritual Object fell?" Jiang Fengwu confirmed once again.
After receiving a positive answer, she did not hesitate to attack the foolish and naïve Sea Devil in front of her.
Bang!
A sound of something heavy falling, striking the ground.
"Why?" The Sea Devil, with blood hanging from its lips and eyes filled with unwillingness, looked toward Jiang Fengwu, its eyes saturated with resentment, "You clearly promised to spare my life; aren’t you afraid that going back on your word will bring a Heart Demon upon you?"
"Yes, to spare your life. The attack just now did not kill you directly; consider the promise kept," Jiang Fengwu explained righteously.
If it were ignorant of the treasure hiding on this unnamed island, it might have had a chance to live, but unfortunately, it knew of this secret.
"So, rest in peace."
Before her words fell, another sharp attack struck the collapsed Sea Devil on the ground, followed by a wail and a curse, then it was completely silent.
"How shall I find the Spiritual Object?" Jiang Fengwu stood on the beach, frowning in thought.
She didn’t even know what Spiritual Objects were, or what they looked like, let alone how to find them!
But sometimes, Spiritual Objects did not need to be sought, as they would present themselves to her.
As Jiang Fengwu was walking on the island, a Spirit Light suddenly soared into the air and eventually fell into her embrace.
Only then did Jiang Fengwu see clearly what the Spiritual Object was; it was a three-inch round disk, brimming with geomantic flows and converging Laws, just like the Yin and Yang Taiji, interconnected in an inseparable way.
What was more astonishing was that its Grade reached the seventh rank!
Although Jiang Fengwu had seen seventh-rank Spiritual Objects before, she felt extremely delighted this time because this one perfectly matched her and was beneficial for her Way.
After obtaining the treasure, Jiang Fengwu did not rush to return to Mount Wanxian but decided to continue her training outside because she had been trapped in the mountains for years without significant improvement in her Cultivation, which had made her somewhat weary.
With the Spiritual Object, she became cautious, fearing that a Great Devil might suddenly appear in front of her, which would be troublesome.
Fortunately, her journey back was smooth sailing, encountering no troubles.

"This place is truly bustling!"
After separating from the group, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, the siblings, headed south and arrived at the nearest Xiao Yuan Immortal City.
Had they not feared exposing their identities, they would have taken a detailed look around the Immortal City.
They were worldly people, but it was only after entering Xiao Yuan Immortal City for the first time that they realized they had been frogs at the bottom of a well.
And this was merely a medium-sized Immortal City!
It was said that in the heart of the East Continent, where the Cultivation civilization was most prosperous, there existed gigantic Immortal Cities that spanned thousands of miles and could accommodate hundreds of millions of people!
At the same time, the siblings also realized that, perhaps in the Profound Origin Realm, Nascent Soul Cultivators were supreme beings, but in the Primal Spirit Realm, they were quite common.
This shattered their previous pride and helped them restore a normal state of mind, which was more beneficial for their Cultivation.
"Big brother, what should we do next?" Li Chengshuo, accustomed to relying on her sibling yet not lacking in independence, lazily asked.
Li Chengsheng pondered for a moment and said, "I see that there are places inside the Immortal City specifically for posting various missions. Let’s take on some missions to train ourselves."
They were still in the early stages of Nascent Soul, with a distance yet to break through to the middle stage; perhaps this round of training could help them achieve a breakthrough sooner.
Not only could they take on various missions to gather lots of information and intelligence, they could also train themselves and earn Spirit Stones among other results, achieving multiple benefits.
Meanwhile, Li Xianxun, Li Mingyao, and other clan members went their separate ways, each embarking on their suitable training journeys.
Different flowers from the same garden bloom distinctly.
In the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui, who was organizing and deducing the Tao of Void Refinement, suddenly opened his eyes and sighed deeply; this matter was far more difficult than he had imagined.
Because advancement in the Void Refinement Realm involved mastering Laws, coupled with the Wind Fire Internal Tribulation during the Divinity Transformation Realm that honed the Spiritual Soul, it was not hard to deduce that the Soul Metamorphosis into a Sun God was of utmost importance.
It should be noted that the so-called Internal Tribulation originated from oneself, unlike the Thunder Tribulation, which was a test and refinement by the Heavenly Dao on Cultivators.
If it wasn’t important, why would the predecessors set up two Internal Tribulations in the Divinity Transformation Realm? Could it be they intentionally made it difficult for their juniors?
Thus, Li Zhirui thought about how to metamorphose his Spiritual Soul into a Sun God. Although the "Myriad Spirits Scripture" did contain the methods for the Void Refinement Realm, it only detailed the operation routes of the Cultivation Technique and lacked the content he sought.
Thinking it over, Li Zhirui could only think of two methods.
One was to imitate the Wind Fire Internal Tribulation to hone the Spiritual Soul and enhance its strength, but Li Zhirui didn’t know how to begin, and it was too risky, a slight mistake could damage the Spiritual Soul and delay his Cultivation.
The other method, which Li Zhirui suddenly recalled from legends of his past life, was to absorb the Essence of the Sun and Moon!
