The quantity of such spirit stone mines was quite substantial.
There were likely a large number of such spirit stone mines in the North Region.
Finding them wasn’t easy; without spiritual veins, there wasn’t even a direction to search in.
These spirit stone mines lay deep below the ground. Even if you could dig three feet deep, it was not possible to excavate the entire North Region.
Most cultivators lacked the capability, and those who had the capability neither wanted nor needed to do so.
Hence, after spending some time to completely extract this spirit stone mine, Qin Changqing began his return journey.
The quantity of spirit stones here was considerable. After replenishing the amount the Fairy Stone utilized to overcome the Tribulation Thunder, there was a surplus of about two hundred thousand pieces of spirit stone.
A precise count was difficult since Qin Changqing hadn’t yet chiseled the spirit stones; they remained in their original large blocks.
The harvest was good.
This trip had taken half a year. Youyue successfully broke through into the realm of Void Refinement and Qin Changqing had fortuitously discovered a spirit stone mine.
He had also slain some unlucky beings.
He had no interest in venturing into the core area of the Moyun Realm to engage in mass slaughter. If he dared to venture there, the cunning of these Devil Sects would assure that he couldn’t kill too many of them.
It was likely that the two mid-stage Deifying level Demon Cultivators who had died would cause many in the Devil Sect to go into hiding.
According to Youyue, the underground of the Moyun Realm was a vast network of interconnected passages. These Devil Sects would hide underground, continuously relocating and thus would be genuinely hard to find.
Divine consciousness couldn’t penetrate underground as smoothly as it could overground.
The devil sect also set up many measures underground to obstruct divine consciousness from penetrating.
The Immortal Alliance was helpless and had struggled but found no complete solution here.
When these Demon Cultivators posed no threat to him, Qin Changqing would naturally not waste his time here.
Hence, Qin Changqing began his journey back.
Shortly after, he returned to the Canglan realm. This time, instead of returning directly to the North Region, he went to the Southern Region.
He planned to visit the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in search of Spiritual Grasses and Medicines, and to see if he could obtain a few spiritual beasts to raise for home and courtyard protection.
He wondered what type of spiritual beast was in the egg that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect leader had given him last time. Qin Changqing set up a special array formation to incubate it, but there hadn’t been any sign of hatching yet.
His figure skimmed over the ocean surface and quickly entered the territory of the Southern Sea Clan.
The endless ocean stretched out beneath him; the Southern Sea was extremely vast.
Perhaps the Canglan Realm was named for its significant surrounding seas.
When flying over the sea, the opportunity to see the Sea Clan was minimal. However, as Qin Changqing flew over a small island, he noticed many members of the Sea Clan on it.
“Huh?”
Qin Changqing sensed something unusual. There was a significant number of sea beasts surrounding the island, aggressively attacking it.
Among them, Qin Changqing saw a familiar face.
No, not a face. A familiar beast.
The Armored Sea Beast that was comparable to a mid-stage Spirit Transformation in the North Sea rebellion.
This beast, it had somehow made it to the Southern Sea?
Remembering the exceptional traits of this beast, Qin Changqing immediately decided to investigate and flew over.
“Boom-I’
“Hold on, I’ve blown the conch. The queen will soon come to assist us.” At this moment, the area surrounding the island was turbulent with stormy waves.
A significant number of sea beasts were stirring up enormous waves and relentlessly attacking the island.
The island was steadily reducing in size because of this.
At this time, a large number of Sea Clan people were putting all their energy into defending the island.
Upon closer inspection, the Sea Clan members were mostly women, and they were all mermaids.
Each mermaid cast a spell with both hands, and above them floated a glowing pearl.
It was a Kuishui Bead.
The mermaids, with the help of the Kuishui Beads, formed a spherical water shield around the island.
This water shield could also draw power from the ocean itself.
The sea beasts were frenziedly attacking this water shield.
The mermaids were continuously injecting energy into the water shield to maintain it.
“Boom!”
At that moment, the water barrier suddenly shuddered.
A massive ripple spread in concentric circles, which kick-started a wild flickering throughout the entire water barrier.
“Boom!”
And again.
“This isn’t good, this sea beast is too powerful!” exclaimed a Mermiad at the divine transformation level, her face turning pale.
She was merely at the beginning stage of deification, yet the sea beast, terrifying as it was, seemed to be at the mid-stage of spirit transformation.
Despite the assistance of numerous Kuishui Beads, they simply couldn’t withstand this beast’s onslaught.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The water barrier trembled continuously.
“Get closer, shrink it even more.”
The mermaid with divine transformation powers was very decisive, urging everyone to draw closer.
All the mermaids huddled together as the water barrier shrank further.
“Boom! Boom!”
But the sea beasts’ attacks were simply too ferocious. Following consecutive assaults, the water barrier couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Sister Leng, stop worrying about us. We will lead the way in the sky for you, you should escape!” a mermaid suggested to the divine transformation mermaid.
As a divine transformation mermaid, she could escape alone, but they couldn’t.
Flight wouldn’t work either. They could fly, yes, but so could those powerful sea beasts.
Everyone would be at a disadvantage up in the sky and escape would still be impossible.
“I’m not leaving! ” the divine transformation mermaid stated firmly.
However, as soon as she spoke, the previously unyielding water barrier shattered in an instant.
A massive Azure Dragon Beast appeared in their sight.
Surrounding it was a tight cluster of sea beasts.
The complexion of the divine transformation mermaid shifted.
“I’ll hold it back, you escape!” She was ready to risk everything.
Just then, a sudden flurry of dense and dazzling lights fell from the sky like raindrops.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Mere spectators of this scene, the Azure Dragon Beast and its cohorts were caught off guard and penetrated by the streams of light before they could react.
Not just the Dragon Beast, it was as if a grand meteor shower had descended around the mermaids.
The sea beasts that previously lunged ferociously were swept away in an instant under this meteor shower.
Even in their death, the sea beasts retained their fierce appearance.
This indicated that the attack was so swift, they were killed off completely without any warning.
Though these guys could be comparable to Nascent Souls and Golden Elixirs, their speed could not match up to real Nascent Souls and Golden Elixirs.
They were just slightly troublesome in the seawater. Once they dared to surface, a human cultivator of the same rank could easily defeat most of the sea beasts.
This sudden turn of events had completely taken the mermaids aback.
Subsequently, some mermaids showed signs of joy because this meant they were saved.
However, some remained vigilant, unaware of their savior’s identity.
From the sky, a golden wire glowed, rapidly binding the fifth-order Azure Dragon Beast.
The sea beasts in the distance fled one after another.
The crisis had been averted. A figure descended from the sky.
“A human!”
To the mermaids’ surprise, the figure was an extraordinarily handsome human being. He landed on the almost lifeless Lane Dragon Beast.
This human, of course, was Qin Changqing..
