Chapter 527: Chapter 261: Qingping’s Upgrade, East Sea Demon Chaos_3
After leaving the cliff, Han Yi flew away from the mountains and released the Immortal Boat, heading west. This time, instead of the Black Flood Dragon Immortal Boat, he used a common Earth Immortal level Immortal Boat. His cultivation base returned to the Early stage of Gold Core, and his appearance changed slightly to that of a Golden Core shopkeeper he had encountered in the Daqian Supreme Pavilion.
Han Yi believed that with such a low profile and equipment that didn’t seem valuable, the Monarchs would not really target him.
As a matter of fact, it was true.
Not until several thousand kilometers away from the Tai Xu Sect boundary, Han Yi switched to an Artifact Level Immortal Boat that he had obtained from the Qiankun Rings of the two Golden Core Peak cultivators he had killed in the Eternal Rest Immortal City. In the same Qiankun Ring, Han Yi also discovered a Green Reed Sword of Artifact Level.
According to the token and ancient books found in their Qiankun Rings, it could be seen that they were from the Aurora Sect in the Tianshu World.
There were records of this sect in the Yu Heng World introduction provided by Lv Bai, which mentioned that this was a deep-rooted Nascent Soul Great Sect that once had a Spirit Transformation cultivator, who had, however, fallen shortly, losing the faint chance of being promoted to a Holy Land.
Now, this completely dark red Immortal Boat had two powerful and imposing words engraved on it.
Red Immortal.
Han Yi called it the Red Immortal Boat.
The Red Immortal Boat did not come from the Yu Heng World, so not attract trouble when Han Yi used it. At the same time, he increased his cultivation base to the Late-stage Golden Core and changed his appearance to that of the middle-aged man seen in the last trace of Spirit Light from the slain cultivator who wore the Demonslayer Inner Armor in Eternal Rest Immortal City.
With the aura of the Late-stage Golden Core, plus a strange look and a new Immortal Boat, no one would dare stop him, except for Nascent Soul Monarchs.
There were not many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Daqian Immortal Country, except for in the Immortal Country itself, the two Holy Lands and the three big sects. The other big sects had at most three Nascent Soul cultivators each, which, added up, were not that many. There were only 157 Monarchs on the Monarch List in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Thirty-four Monarchs were from the Immortal Country, fifty-six from the two Holy Lands, and the three big sects had thirty-three. The remaining thirty-four were from the eight major sects, a few Nascent Soul cultivating families, and loose Monarch cultivators.
Even if there were hidden Nascent Soul cultivators, there were, in general, around two hundred. The two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators were dispersed throughout the vast Daqian Immortal Country, so encountering them by chance was even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
All the way from the northeast of the Daqian Immortal Country, riding the Immortal Boat at full speed towards the west, Han Yi’s pace was unprecedentedly fast, with his Late-stage Golden Core cultivation base and the Artifact Level Immortal Boat.
It took only three days to travel hundreds of thousands of miles, and he swept past Jinyun Immortal City at a distance. Then, within half a day, he reached the border between Qian and Shu. After that, he made a slight turn back to the northwest direction, and within another half a day, he arrived at the Xuandan Sect in Luofeng Country.
The whole journey took merely four days at full speed from the northeast of Daqian to the Xuandan Sect. Only Yuan Shun, while still in the sect, could achieve such speed.
As soon as he arrived at the Xuandan Sect, Han Yi took a brief look with his divine sense and felt his heart sink. Then, he entered Xuandan Peak.
In less than three breaths, Shen Ping had already rushed over.
The reason for the heavy feeling in Han Yi’s heart was that there were only two Golden Core cultivators in the sect at this moment, and one of them was Huo Ming, who had been severely injured by Zhang Tu and had not yet recovered even after taking the Creation Pill. The other one was Shen Ping, who had just arrived.
Moreover, not only was the number of Golden Core cultivators wrong, but there were also only about twenty Foundation Building Elders left in the sect. When he left to save people in Daqin, there were more than a hundred Foundation Building Elders in the sect. Although most of them were in the Foundation Building Early Stage and Foundation Building Middle Level, they were still regarded as the middle level of the sect. Now, with only about twenty left, something was definitely not right.
As soon as Shen Ping appeared, Han Yi asked in a deep voice, “What happened? Where is Elder Zhuge?”
Under normal circumstances, unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhuge Wu You would never leave the sect. Only with him in charge could the sect hold together. Moreover, in the original Xuandan Sect, he was the only Late-stage Golden Core cultivator who could activate the sect’s Fourth-stage Array, the Zhou Heavenly Xuangang Array. He also had an Artifact Level treasure at hand, so as long as he didn’t encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could withstand attacks from Golden Core Peak cultivators for a while.
Upon seeing Han Yi, Shen Ping’s heart trembled. Han Yi’s expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of awe-inspiring authority. For a moment, Shen Ping even suspected that the person standing in front of him was the sect master, Yuan Shun, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, this brief illusion vanished in a flash, and without having time to think further, Shen Ping quickly spoke up.
“Evil chaos in the Eastern Sea.”
“Something happened in the Stars Sea.”
“Brother Zhuge, Sister Si Hong, along with junior brothers, went to support the Eastern Sea. In not too long, newly promoted junior brother Fei You will go to Qian Du and take charge of Profound Immortal Pavilion.”
“Now, only I am left in the sect.”
Shen Ping said solemnly.
Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that not long ago, when they crossed the Evil Mountain Range, he had accidentally discovered the breaths of over a dozen Golden Core Demon Cultivators in the core passage of the mountain range. Among those cultivators, there were three or four as powerful as Master Killing, the Supreme Master. In other words, there were at least three or four Half-step Nascent Soul cultivators.
Half-step Nascent Soul cultivators were not common. The number of such cultivators represented a combination of strength and potential. Their quantity was far less than that of normal Nascent Soul cultivators.
Back then, Han Yi was puzzled about what these demon cultivators from the northwest Evil Holy Land going to the Eastern Sea were up to. Now, from Shen Ping’s words, it can be guessed that the target of these cultivators might be Stars Sea.
In Yu Heng World, although cultivators dominated, there was still only one Evil Holy Land, and that was Evil God Mountain in the northwest of the Cultivation World.
However, the Evil God Mountain kept a low profile. Even though it was a holy land, it rarely interfered with the slaughtering of the Evil Clan by the cultivators outside. Its presence wasn’t significant.
Furthermore, to the east of Evil God Mountain was Sword Cliff, where the Sword Immortal resided, and to the south was Daqin Immortal Country. With Sword Cliff and Daqin coercing the Evil God Mountain, the Cultivation World regarded this Evil Holy Land as insignificant.
As for why this Evil Holy Land had not been wiped out, Han Yi didn’t know.
Since it was just his guess, although he was concerned, he knew it wasn’t an urgent matter, so he signaled Shen Ping to continue.
“Ten days ago.”
“News spread across Daqian that the Eastern Sea Evil Clan attacked Stars Sea, sinking half of it.”
“In that battle, four mysterious Evil Gods suddenly appeared in the Eastern Sea Evil Clan, surrounding Stars Sea. The former Sect Master, Lord Eternal, perished, Supreme Elder Lord Seven Killings was seriously injured, and the current Sect Master, Lord Stars, sacrificed the sect’s half-immortal item and shot down two Evil Gods.”
“It’s said that the entire Stars Sea was drowned in blood, with the floating continents sinking and the Eastern Sea turning into a sea of blood.”
“In this battle, a total of three Spirit Transformation cultivators from Stars Sea and the Eastern Sea Evil Clan died, along with sixteen Monarchs. As for Golden Core and Foundation Building cultivators, their number was countless.”
“Fortunately, Lord Stars’ strength was strong enough to temporarily repel the Eastern Sea Evil Clan. However, the Eastern Sea Evil Clan has shown signs of continuously gathering in the depths of the Eastern Sea, and even more mysterious demon cultivators have appeared. That’s why Stars Sea informed Daqian. Daqian Immortal Country has already issued a conscription order for all sects with cultivators above the Golden Core level to fight.”
“Brother Zhuge and the others went there in response to the conscription order.”
Han Yi felt doubtful in his heart. Considering the demon cultivators he saw in the Evil Mountain Range, he sensed that something was wrong.
“Has there been any news from Evil God Mountain?”
Shen Ping was startled, but with his intelligence, he immediately reacted and shook his head.
“There has been no news from there. In this half-month’s time, I’ve been collecting information from various sources, but there is indeed no news from Evil God Mountain. That northwest Evil Holy Land is keeping a low profile as always.”
