On the ground of Holy Flame Star, Yun Lan and the others watched as the Nine Yin Island bandit cultivators departed, their expressions dark.Zhang Jinzhou furrowed his brows deeply. "Senior Sister Yun, are we just going to let them walk away like this? As disciples of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, we were swindled by these bandit cultivators. If word of this gets out, we will have no face to show the world!"Tian Musen smiled bitterly. "I only had two high-grade magic treasures, and I had to hand one over. What kind of situation is this?"Yun Lan's face twisted in anger. "Who could have imagined that Chu Xuan would disappear like this, vanishing into the Nether Fire Valley? Even True Master Yin went in to search but found no trace of him. And you all suffered a great loss. Am I not suffering too? The reward promised by Jin Yaozu—nothing! Not a single bit. I even had to give away a high-grade magic treasure just to avoid disaster!"Zhang Jinzhou and Tian Musen were left speechless. T

A month later, Chu Xuan's sound transmission jade vibrated at his waist. He infused it with Spiritual Qi, and immediately, Pei Yuankui's voice came through."We're about to enter the Starshatter Sea region. Everyone, be on high alert! Watch for ambushes!"Chu Xuan made his way to the deck. The dozen or so bandit cultivators under his command were already on full alert. He gazed into the distance.Before him, the once dull and barren starry sky now displayed a vast and fragmented expanse of landmasses. Beneath these land fragments, the waves gently rippled. The waves stretched far into the distance, seemingly endless.The Starshatter Sea was formed from countless shattered star fragments, carried by the Three Thousand Weak Waters. Cultivators of the Nascent Soul realm and below could not enter the Three Thousand Weak Waters. Only those of the Deity Transformation realm could barely resist the corrosive nature of these strange waters."It seems there are no other fleets intercepting us,

The White Bone True Master and Black Wind True Master hadn't expected Yellow Spring Island to strike out of nowhere. Both fleets had already suffered significant losses, and facing the well-rested Yellow Spring Island fleet was clearly unfavorable.After a brief moment of deliberation, the White Bone Island and Black Wind Island fleets immediately retreated, slowly withdrawing from the battle from a different direction.Chu Xuan's communication jade again trembled, this time with True Master Yin's voice echoing from it."All Nine Yin cultivators, retreat with me!"At the same time, the transmission jade left by Shang Xingchen buzzed with a message."Fellow Daoist Chu, immediately head toward the White Cloud ship, this is our only chance!"Boom!But to everyone's surprise, the three fleet leaders did not move toward the Nine Yin ship. Instead, they sped off in the opposite direction. It was clear they intended to escape amid the chaos. The other ships remained still for a moment, seemi

Once all three had taken the pills, True Master Yin's expression became pleased, and he gestured for them to wait outside the cave."Wait here for now. I'll summon you one by one," True Master Yin instructed. "There are nine branches to the Nine Yin Profound Pulse Art. I need to examine your spiritual roots and cultivation methods before tailoring a specific technique for each of you."Chu Xuan and the others nodded in agreement.True Master Yin strode into his cave dwelling, and the heavy stone door shut behind him with a resounding thud. The three of them were left waiting outside in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Each had their own plans in mind, particularly Ge Rong, whose eyes darted about as if he had already deduced True Master Yin's intentions.Pei Yuankui, on the other hand, appeared unruffled, as though he had seen such things countless times before.After a long while, the stone door of the cave finally creaked open again. From within, True Master Yin's hoarse vo

Chu Xuan glanced at the red jade headband and immediately guessed that it was a magic treasure specifically designed to defend against spiritual sense attacks. He unleashed over a dozen Sky-Tearing Cold Palm, each strike crashing into the barrier.True Master Yin, on the other hand, was increasingly alarmed. To his shock, he noticed cracks beginning to form on the headband. Not just one, but several!The red jade headband had only been able to block a handful of spiritual sense attacks, and already it was showing signs of damage. This Nascent Soul cultivator—his spiritual sense was rapidly approaching the level of a Deity Transformation cultivator!Creeeak!The cracks deepened, and before long, the headband shattered entirely.True Master Yin's face drained of color as he staggered back in retreat, trying to regain his footing.Chu Xuan, seizing the moment, advanced, continuing his relentless barrage. But just as he moved forward, True Master Yin suddenly flashed a strange, almost tri
