Chapter 749 - 650: Iron-Toothed Thunder Shark
On Flame Island, there are only Ming Shen True Master and his two Core Formation Realm cultivators.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators are no match for Yang Huofeng.
Yang Huofeng is not a flower in a greenhouse.
The trials of the mortal world refine the heart.
There are some things Yang Huofeng must learn to confront.
Then, Ming Shen True Master and Shen Xuan discussed a matter.
True Master Qing Xi invited him to go to the far sea to hunt a Tier Three Sea Demon.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Yue Country was once manipulated by transformed Sea Demons, and the sea submerged half of the country’s territory.
The powerful individuals from the sects of the five countries engaged in magical combat with the transformed Sea Demons, narrowly winning and setting the boundaries.
In principle, Tier Three Sea Demons do not enter the land’s coastal 50,000-mile sea area.
As time passes.
This rule between the two races has shown signs of loosening.
The thirteen sects of Yue Country have each divided the sea area.
Human Race cultivators navigate sea ships, hunting Tier Two Sea Beasts near the 50,000-mile sea area.
Meanwhile, Tier Three Sea Demons also occasionally appear, attacking sea ships and Human Race cultivators.
The main issue is that no one can truly delineate the 50,000-mile sea boundary accurately.
The closer to the open sea, the more Tier Two Sea Beasts there are.
The profits from demon-hunting sea ships grow larger.
Nowadays, the Spirit Veins of sects in various countries are gradually declining, with limited output.
Manning sea ships to hunt sea beasts has become an indispensable source of income for many sects.
This time, True Master Qing Xi suggested that Ming Shen True Master and other affiliated Core Formation True Masters take action to kill the Tier Three Sea Demon in the affiliated sea area of Yueyun Sect.
The main purpose is to deter the Sea Race, making it easier for Yueyun Sect’s sea ships to hunt Tier Two Sea Beasts.
Secondly, it is to achieve survival of the fittest among affiliated forces.
Killing a Tier Three Sea Demon yields huge profits.
One Tier Three Sea Demon can be exchanged for a Golden Transformation Pill and Core Formation Spiritual Objects, supporting the emergence of a Core Formation True Master.
Of course, high returns mean high risks.
Ming Shen True Master is hesitant.
On one hand, he cannot easily refuse True Master Qing Xi.
Accepting a summons from the upper sect is originally a duty of affiliated forces of the sect.
On the other hand, the sea expedition can offset sect missions from Yueyun Sect.
Even if he gains nothing on the sea, it can reduce the burden on Fire Cloud Sect.
After listening to Ming Shen True Master’s words, Shen Xuan asked: "Since that’s the case, Brother Ming Shen should agree to True Master Qing Xi’s proposal."
Ming Shen True Master, smiling wryly, said: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, I have my concerns."
Firstly, he is old, with not much lifespan remaining, and should try to avoid taking action to preserve vitality and live a few more years.
Secondly, he is a Fire Cultivator, somewhat ill-suited for the vast open sea. Facing a Tier Three Sea Demon, he doesn’t have much chance of winning.
Thirdly, he is worried about Fire Cloud Sect and Yang Huofeng. The hidden ambitions of Zhong Sumin are blatantly obvious, secretly recruiting many disciples.
Considering the small number of disciples of Fire Cloud Sect, he doesn’t want to escalate conflicts by settling accounts with Zhong Sumin at this time.
Shen Xuan asked: "Will hunting a Tier Three Sea Demon encounter a Transformed Great Demon?"
"No, it won’t."
Ming Shen True Master mused, "The 50,000-mile sea boundary is difficult to precisely delineate."
"Tier Three Sea Demons attacking sea ships and Human Race cultivators claim we Human Race crossed the 50,000-mile boundary."
"Human Race True Masters hunting Tier Three Sea Demons are also near the 50,000-mile boundary."
"Ultimately, both sides have their reasons, but it’s mainly about fighting for blood food. Neither Human Race Nascent Soul True Monarchs nor Transformed Great Demons from the Sea Race have appeared."
Hearing this, Shen Xuan felt relieved.
"Then it’s simple."
Shen Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Ming Shen, just watch my methods."
As soon as he spoke, Shen Xuan transformed.
His stature and appearance became identical to Ming Shen True Master.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, what skill!"
Ming Shen True Master couldn’t help but admire.
This Divine Power of "Thousand Transformations" makes it hard to distinguish between true and false.
Moreover, Shen Xuan has cultivated Fire Attribute Technique.
The faint Fire Spiritual Power emanating from him is exactly the same as Ming Shen True Master’s.
Even Ming Shen True Master himself thought he was seeing things.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, what do you mean?"
"You inform True Master Qing Xi that you are about to set off. You and I will swap identities. Brother Ming Shen will stay at my Chixia Peak under the name Shen Haoming, teaching Yang Huofeng. I will go on behalf of Brother Ming Shen."
On the continent, the powerful individuals of the Demon Race and Human Race long established rules.
Core Formation Realm True Masters and Tier Three Demon Kings must not arbitrarily intrude into each other’s territories.
Nor can they arbitrarily take action.
Unexpectedly, there’s a good thing like hunting Tier Three Sea Demons in the far sea!
Shen Xuan of course doesn’t back down.
If he can hunt down a descendant of the Divine Dragon Bloodline, that would be great.
Ming Shen True Master stood up and heavily bowed: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, I cannot express my gratitude enough."
After receiving the bow, Shen Xuan smiled and said: "Between us, there’s no need for such formality."
Ming Shen True Master sat down again, leisurely sipping tea, his expression visibly more relaxed.
He seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, since you’re going for me, why not bring Yang Huofeng along?"
Shen Xuan had just taken a sip of Spirit Tea and nearly spat it out.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Yueyun Immortal City.
Outside the East Gate, the vast ocean stretches endlessly, blending sea and sky.
In the harbor, a massive sea ship, a hundred meters long, is silently docked.
On the side of the ship, the large characters "Feiyun Ship" are engraved in a flying-dragon and dancing-phoenix style.
This is a Tier Three Upper Grade sea ship, capable of withstanding the far sea’s waves and Tier Three Sea Demon attacks.
At this moment, at the distant horizon, a streak of red light bursts through the sky with astonishing speed.
As the light fades, two figures appear.
Leading the way is an elder clad in a red cloud Daoist robe, exuding the Spiritual Pressure of a late-stage True Pill.
This is Shen Xuan, disguised and dressed as Ming Shen True Master.
Following him is a young girl in fiery red attire, brimming with spiritual energy, precisely Yang Huofeng.
Shen Xuan ultimately followed Ming Shen True Master’s advice and brought Yang Huofeng along.
As it turns out, True Masters who go out to sea to hunt Tier Three Sea Demons will bring along one or two direct disciples.
