Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 80 The Spiritual Land Under the Sea (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

The silver hook sea snake originally lived in the deep sea.

They are rarely found in coastal waters.

Top-grade sea serpent, about to break through, underwater spiritual land...

"Depend on!"

Shen Xuan couldn't help but swear.

The underwater paradise near the coast is priceless.

It can be built into a second-tier island dojo!

Although the construction costs were considerable, requiring the deployment of second-tier array masters and the consumption of numerous materials.

But that's a second-tier training ground that can pass on its lineage to future generations!

It's worth any price!

The Zheng family on Mingyang Island has completely erupted.

The entire force was mobilized, with the veteran water-based foundation-building ancestor of the Zheng clan personally leading the investigation after leaving his seclusion.

This morning.

Shen Xuan followed a group of rogue demon hunters out of the city.

Finding a secluded corner, he used the [Concealing Breath] and [Invisibility] techniques to secretly dive into the sea.

Following the intelligence, we arrived at the area where the Silver Hook Sea Serpent had last appeared.

On the sea, more than a dozen spirit boats are already conducting reconnaissance and exploration in the vicinity.

The sea area is too vast.

Shen Xuan activated his [Insight Technique] and followed behind one of the Zheng family's spirit boats.

He wasn't the only one; quite a few cultivators shared this view.

There were at least a dozen of them, all of whom were in the late stage of Qi Refining Water Technique.

He followed along listlessly, completely bored.

Dozens of beams of light suddenly appeared ahead, relentlessly pursuing them.

Someone used spiritual power to transmit a message in all directions: "A new underwater spiritual land has been discovered!"

"A second-tier spiritual land!"

"The Zheng family of Mingyang Island wants to monopolize the new spiritual land!"

The sound traveled far across the sea, one message after another, and soon everyone knew about it.

The nearby cultivators all gathered in the direction indicated by the telepathic message.

Shen Xuan followed the Zheng family's spirit boat to the location of the new spirit land.

At this time, hundreds of cultivators had gathered in the surrounding area.

Almost all of them are in the late stage of Qi Refining!

The four largest groups have reached a stalemate.

Shen Xuan glanced at it and immediately recognized it.

The Azure Water Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, Mingyang Island, and also independent cultivators.

Among them, there are quite a few people from Mingyang Island, more than thirty in total.

The largest group of rogue demon hunters, numbering seventy or eighty, stood behind the two Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators, ready for battle.

"Fellow Daoists, please hear what I have to say!"

The ancestor of the Zheng clan transmitted his spiritual power, which resounded throughout the nearby seas.

"What has appeared this time is not a new underwater spiritual land, but the secluded cave of one of my ancestors many years ago."

"I urge all fellow Daoists to disperse quickly for the sake of the Zheng family, lest any trouble arise and any harm befall us!"

Shen Xuan floated on the sea, watching with great interest.

He was not interested in sacred sites.

No matter who it belongs to, he has no share.

There might be some spiritual items for cultivation inside.

But to him, nothing was as important as the essence blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

During the [Insight Technique], the number of cultivators in the surrounding area exceeded one hundred.

But there were only six people he was wary of.

They were all cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage in water magic.

The rest are not worth mentioning.

To his surprise, he found a familiar figure there.

Wen Zijian, a golden-armored monk and former hunting companion.

After seven years apart, he had suddenly broken through to the peak of Qi Refining.

Standing on the Moon Blade Wheel and wielding the Sun Blade Wheel, he was awe-inspiring.

Although not a water-based cultivator, he had reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, making him quite remarkable among the many independent cultivators.

The Zheng family has two water-based foundation-building cultivators: the Zheng family patriarch and the Zheng family head.

There were seven cultivators from the Five Poisons Sect. The leader was an old cultivator in black robes, wearing a bamboo hat, and emanating a faint smell of poison.

Listening to the Five Poisons Sect cultivators talking amongst themselves, they respectfully addressed that person as Elder Zhu.

The number of people in the Biyue Sect is even smaller.

There were only five people: four men and one woman.

The old Taoist priest in purple robes standing at the front is a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Azure Water Sect, whose Taoist name is Qingyuan.

He was estimated to be a hundred years old, yet his aura was extremely powerful.

Standing on the sea surface, it subtly blends into the seawater, protected by a bluish light.

In addition, there were two water-based foundation-building cultivators among the independent cultivators, who united the independent cultivators and kept their distance from cultivators from the Azure Water Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, the Zheng family, and others.

As soon as Shen Xuan got closer, the eyes of the six Foundation Establishment cultivators flashed like lightning, and their divine senses swept over him!
In an instant, six Foundation Establishment Divine Senses landed on Shen Xuan.

He smiled.

It surfaced completely, hovering on the water's surface without a single drop of water on its body.

He showed up on purpose.

Now that we've decided to compete for the Silver Hook Sea Serpent's essence blood, we can't hold back. Showing some strength will make future negotiations with these Foundation Establishment cultivators easier.

Although the spiritual pressure from Foundation Establishment cultivators was strong, it posed no threat to him.

Shen Xuan remained calm and composed.

All six Foundation Establishment cultivators were slightly shocked.

Wen Zijian whispered to a rogue cultivator in a green robe who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator in green robes glanced at Shen Xuan a few times and nodded.

"Master Shen, come over here quickly!" Wen Zijian waved.

Shen Xuan readily agreed and, with a fleeting glance, arrived beside Wen Zijian.

“Master Shen, this is Senior Tang Renhao. He is a kind-hearted and righteous man.”

Shen Xuan quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "Talisman Master Shen Xuan greets Senior Tang."

"This is Senior Zhu Jintang!"

"Talisman Master Shen Xuan greets Senior Zhu."

After bowing, Shen Xuan stood next to Wen Zijian.

The two chatted in hushed tones for a few moments.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, I need the essence blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent."

"Don't worry, Master Shen. I will convey your wishes to Senior Tang. For my sake, he will definitely stand up for you," Wen Zijian said confidently.

It seems that he and Tang Renhao have a close relationship and a long history together.

"Great! I've finally found my people!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

In this situation...

Going it alone is not a good option.

In any case, his only goal was the essence blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

They could even offer a high price to acquire it.

He would not take action against the Azure Water Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, the Zheng family, or other demon hunters unless absolutely necessary.

Harmony is the most important thing in all things.

If we really have to make a move, we must be swift and decisive, killing the enemy with all our might, to avoid leaving any future troubles.

Cultivators who hunt silver hook sea serpents are easily surrounded and attacked by other cultivators.

After Shen Xuan took sides, he said no more and listened to the negotiations between the four groups and the six Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"This is no longer your Mingyang Island's territory. Whether it's a spiritual land or a demon beast, let each rely on their own abilities!" Elder Zhu of the Five Poisons Sect said.

"Indeed, Elder Zhu is absolutely right!"

Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang voiced their support.

The two of them were quite prestigious among the rogue cultivators of Yunyuan Immortal City.

As soon as they finished speaking, the rogue cultivators gathered around them cheered them on.

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhu puts it that way, then let each rely on their own abilities and accept their fate!"

Master Qingyuan pointed his fingers like a sword towards the deep sea.

Aura fluctuations.

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea surface he was pointing to, pushing aside the layers of seawater.

Amidst the dazzling, radiant light, one could vaguely discern the outlines of some underwater sacred sites.

See here.

Shen Xuan was slightly surprised.

Master Qingyuan also used the [Water-repelling Technique].

It seems to have reached its peak.

"Therefore, no Foundation Establishment cultivator from any sect should be underestimated!"

Shen Xuan silently reminded himself.

Seeing this, the Five Poisons Sect cultivators no longer hesitated. Led by Elder Zhu, except for two people who monitored everyone, the rest of them dived into the sea.

The Zheng family patriarch and the Zheng family head exchanged a glance, nodded, and led the elite members of the clan to swim away together using magic.

Not to be outdone, Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang, along with some demon hunters, each cast spells and disappeared into the sea.

"Is anyone else going down?"

Seeing that no one answered, Master Qingyuan withdrew his spiritual light and led his four disciples to dive into the sea.

Shen Xuan remained standing on the water.

Six water magic practitioners, having reached the foundation stage, are vying for resources in the spiritual land.

The risk is too great!

It's more comfortable to stay on the sea.

Whoever hunts the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

He was willing to pay a high price to buy the essence of blood.

He's a tycoon now!
Tang Renhao, a demon hunter who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, also stood up for him!

He's determined to get the Silver Hook Sea Serpent's essence blood this time!

Wen Zijian did not go down either.

He was a cultivator specializing in the Golden Law, and he had come to offer his support.

Half an hour later.

The sea is churning.

A series of booming sounds came from the underwater sacred land.

Soon after, the corpses of the cultivators began to float to the surface of the sea.

Most were independent cultivators, with a small number being members of the Zheng family.

There was only one corpse, a cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect.
