The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

East China Sea.

The blue waves are endless.

The salty and humid sea breeze brings surging waves all year round.

Here, there are not only giant whales that can swallow boats, but also mysterious islands that are said to hide ancient treasures. Octopus Island is the most legendary one among them.

Su Xiaoya stood on the top of Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain and looked into the distance.

In the East China Sea, the sea monster kings are paying too much attention to this area.

But this is normal.

After all, this place belongs to the East China Sea. The sudden appearance of so many Mahayana cultivators will have some impact on the overall situation of the East China Sea.

However, it was really unusual that so many Mahayana Sea Monster Kings just watched without making any movement.

Tanggu and Nieyao Niuyi Mountain also belong to the East China Sea.

So, does the Sea God mean that the moment they obtained Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain and Tang Valley, they became part of the East China Sea?

After giving away such a great opportunity, is it true that what we have to face next is just Guixu and evil demons?

Su Xiaoya watched quietly.

She accepted this cause and effect!

Deep in Bazhua Island.

A primeval forest.

It was shrouded in thick spiritual mist, and even the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage could hardly penetrate it.

Wu Ma Congjue was currently stumbling through the primeval forest in the heart of the island, the dizziness he felt when he was caught in the spiritual mist still lingering in his mind.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looked up, and was instantly shocked by the scene before him.

The giant trees in sight are all hundreds of feet high, with trunks so thick that it takes more than ten people to hug them. The dark green treetops are stacked layer upon layer, like giant open umbrellas, covering the entire sky tightly. Only sporadic sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, turning into golden beams of light that fall on the ground covered with rotten leaves.

The forest was filled with spiritual energy that was so rich that it was almost tangible. Just breathing it in made his dantian feel slightly hot.

Wu Ma Congjue was about to stand up to investigate when his fingertips touched a cold, hard object. Looking down, he saw that it was an ancient book bound with the skin of an unknown animal. On the cover, the four characters "Secret Book of Body Refining" were written in ancient seal script, and there was a faint light flashing in the handwriting.

An idea came to his mind, and he held the ancient book in his hands. As soon as his fingertips touched the pages, a stream of hot air flowed into his body along his fingertips, circulating wildly along his meridians.

Wu Ma Congjue only felt that all the muscles in his body were trembling, and his bones made a crisp "cracking" sound. His originally thin body became strong at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the muscle lines under his skin bulged like a dragon.

In just half an incense stick of time, his physical strength increased several times. He punched the rock beside him. With a loud "boom", the rock as big as a bowl was smashed into pieces. As the debris flew everywhere, his eyes were full of incredible ecstasy.

"Roar--"

A dull roar of an animal suddenly came from the woods. Wu Ma Congjue's heart tightened. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black bear about three meters tall walking slowly out.

The black bear was pitch black all over, with hair standing up like steel needles and a pair of eyes as big as copper bells that shone with a fierce light. It was the "powerful black bear" commonly seen in the secret realm.

An ordinary powerful black bear can only contend with a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, but the aura of the one in front of him is extremely strong.

Wu Ma Congjue was just about to activate his spiritual power to defend himself when he saw the fierceness in the powerful black bear's eyes suddenly fade away. Instead, it slowly lowered its head towards him, and a light golden contract rune rose between its eyebrows.

He was moved, and remembered that his family elders had said that the divine beasts in the secret realm would take the initiative to conclude a contract with "destined people", and he had just obtained the "Secret Book of Body Refining", and his physical strength increased greatly. It seemed that this was exactly in line with the "power attribute" of this powerful black bear.

He no longer hesitated, gathered spiritual power on his fingertips, and drew an identical rune in the air. The two runes collided in the air, turning into a stream of light and merging into each other's eyebrows - the contract was done!

Just as Wu Ma Congjue completed the contract, a flash of light appeared and he found himself in an unfamiliar area.

Uh!

Le Zhengxibe was killing an evil demon and sucking a magic crystal into his hand.

The roars of evil spirits, the roars of beasts and the cries of monks were intertwined.

Here, all the companions are fighting.

Su Gaowei stood in a valley, holding a black iron war hammer in his hand.

A war drum engraved with ferocious animal patterns was suspended in front of him, and it was surrounded by thick earth and gold auras.

As the battle progressed, his Earth-Splitting War Drum Technique became more and more proficient, and his rapport with his contracted beast, the Three-Headed Black Gold Tiger, also grew stronger.

Su Gaocheng held the Qingyun Sword in his left hand and the Qinglin Sword in his right hand. He actually mastered the art of using dual swords during the battle, making him worthy of being a Mahayana cultivator.

His contracted beast, the ancient spiritual bird Ice Soul Crane, may seem as light as a dance, but its lethality is incredible, and he has also obtained a lot of magic crystals.

Pu Yiqi, the thunder spirit, almost swept the battlefield with the help of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Art" and his companion beast, the Thunder Prison Qilin.

There is no way, because their thunder spiritual power is naturally able to restrain evil spirits.

……

Almost all the Su family cultivators on Octopus Island have completed breakthroughs and contracts, and have been sent into the Demon-Slaying Secret Realm for mysterious training to consolidate their cultivation in battle.

As they broke through, the originally thick spiritual mist became visibly thinner, and the spiritual herbs and flowers on the ground also lost their former luster.

But just when the spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the depths of the secret realm. Nine spiritual veins with a bright glow rose from the ground, circling in the air like nine giant dragons. An endless supply of spiritual energy gushed out from the spiritual veins, nourishing the entire secret realm again.

The spiritual veins here were actually "living veins"? They could even restore their spiritual energy on their own. Even Su Gaowei, who had lived for hundreds of years, had never seen such a scene.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of the breakthrough, except for one person who remained calm - Su Mingxian.

Su Mingxian was wearing a moon-white robe, standing on a high platform in the center of the secret realm with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, and his consciousness was like an invisible net, covering every corner of the secret realm.

Wu Ma Congjue broke into the forest, Pu Yiqi broke through the fusion stage... every detail was clearly presented in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Until one by one they were teleported away in a burst of white light.

His aura seemed calm, yet it was as unfathomable as the deep sea. A layer of faint chaotic mist lingered around him, blending with the spiritual energy of the secret realm, making it impossible to tell the depth of his cultivation.

It was not until the last cultivator completed the contract that Su Mingxian slowly opened his eyes.

He was relieved.

Everyone got the chance and left safely.

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and countless runes seemed to be flowing in them. When he looked towards the deepest part of the secret realm, a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It's my turn." He whispered to himself, his steps changing, his figure leaving a shadow in the air like a ghost, and in a flash he arrived at the end of the secret realm.

This place is completely different from other areas of the secret realm - there are no towering trees, no magical herbs or flowers, only an empty square. In the void in the center of the square, a pitch-black bead is suspended.

The bead is about the size of a fist, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, but it does not reflect any light. Instead, it looks like a bottomless black hole that swallows up all the light around it.

What was even more peculiar was that a circle of chaotic-colored mist lingered around the bead, and there was a faint mysterious Taoist rhyme flowing in the mist. Even someone with Su Mingxian's cultivation level could feel the terrifying power contained in it.

"The Chaos Pearl... one of the ten ancient artifacts, is indeed here." A gleam of light flashed in Su Mingxian's eyes.

He learned from the ancient books in the family library that the Chaos Pearl is one of the ten ancient artifacts. It can evolve chaos, nourish all things, and help people break through the bottleneck of cultivation. It is a treasure that countless cultivators dream of.

He no longer hesitated and slowly stretched out his right hand.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the Chaos Pearl, the pearl suddenly vibrated violently, and the chaotic mist around it surged, turning into a stream of light and falling into his palm.

As soon as the cool touch came from his palm, the Chaos Pearl turned into a black airflow, flowing into his body along his arm and instantly spreading to his limbs and bones.

"Om-"

Su Mingxian only felt a violent shock in his sea of ​​consciousness, and countless mysterious runes and Taoist rhymes poured in like a tide. The bottleneck of the last level of cultivation of "Nine Transformations to Hegemony Body" instantly became clear in his mind.

Unexpectedly, with the help of the Chaos Pearl, the bottleneck was shattered like paper! The spiritual power in the body awakened like a sleeping dragon, circulating frantically in the meridians. The spiritual power vortex in the dantian expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. The aura of the late stage of the tribulation continued to rise, and soon broke through to the peak of the tribulation period.

Immediately afterwards, a golden beam of light shot up from his body into the sky, containing the terrifying power of heavenly tribulation - this was a sign of breaking through to the Mahayana stage!

Ordinary cultivators who want to break through to the Mahayana stage need to incur the nine heavenly tribulations to temper their bodies. If they are not careful, their souls will be shattered. However, the power of the heavenly tribulation in Su Mingxian's body is extremely gentle. Not only did it not cause any harm to him, but it wrapped around his body and soul like warm water, refining the remaining impurities in his body one by one, allowing his physical strength and soul power to reach a new level.

"Roar--"

Just when Su Mingxian was about to completely break through to the Mahayana stage, a low dragon roar suddenly came from the chaotic fog deep in the secret realm.

The dragon's roar was deafening, and the entire secret realm was shaking violently. The ground around the square cracked into several bottomless gullies. The Su family cultivators who were in the process of breaking through stopped their actions and looked in the direction of the sound with shock on their faces.

The mist slowly dissipated, and a gigantic creature slowly emerged. It resembled a dragon, but had a pair of enormous fleshy wings with a wingspan of a thousand feet. Every flap of its wings brought up a howling gale.

The dragon scales shimmered with a chaotic sheen, like the hardest armor, with a faint chaotic mist flowing through the gaps between the scales;

A pair of eyes were like two black holes, revealing an ancient and majestic aura. Just a glance made all the cultivators and divine beasts present feel awe from the soul.

"Chaos Dragon Whale... the overlord among the ancient mythical beasts!" Su Gaowei exclaimed in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

The Chaos Dragon Whale is a mythical beast that existed at the beginning of Chaos. It is said that its size can swallow stars and its strength is comparable to that of a peak Mahayana cultivator. I didn't expect it to appear in this secret realm.

The Chaos Dragon Whale was extremely large, occupying almost half of the space in the secret realm. It slowly lowered its head and put its huge head in front of Su Mingxian. Its originally majestic eyes revealed a hint of awe and submission.

Immediately afterwards, a complex contract rune rose between its brows. This rune was more complex than the contract runes of all the previous divine beasts. It contained the power of the law of chaos and was obviously the highest level of soul binding contract.

Su Mingxian understood.

The Chaos Pearl is the Chaos Dragon Whale's companion treasure. Now that the Chaos Pearl has merged into his body, he has become the "master" of the Chaos Dragon Whale.

He did not hesitate, and a rune also rose between his eyebrows. The two runes merged in the air, turning into a stream of light and merging into the sea of ​​consciousness of both people at the same time.

"Mahayana Stage..."

Su Mingxian slowly opened his eyes and felt the surging spiritual power in his body - it was a power far beyond the Tribulation Period, as if he could crush the stars at will and control the laws of heaven and earth.

At the same time, there was a clear soul connection in his sea of ​​consciousness. Through this connection, he could clearly feel the emotions and power of the Chaos Dragon Whale, and even use its power to exert the Law of Chaos.

The moment Su Mingxian broke through the Mahayana stage, Le Zheng Xibe and twenty-nine others were also teleported out of the Demon-Slaying Secret Realm.

Su Mingxian showed a faint smile and looked up at the twenty-nine people in the secret realm.

At this point, everyone has completed the breakthrough:

Su Gaowei and Su Gaocheng, relying on their profound foundation, also broke through to the early stage of the Mahayana stage. Although their aura was not as terrifying as Su Mingxian's, it was still far beyond that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators.

Pu Yiqi and other cultivators with natural spiritual roots and spiritual bodies were gifted with extraordinary talents. With the help of the spiritual energy of the secret realm and the help of the divine beasts, they broke through to the great perfection of the fusion stage in one fell swoop, and were only one step away from the Mahayana stage.

Even Wu Ma Congjue, who had the lowest cultivation level, broke through to the Void Refinement Stage. With the help of the powerful black bear, his strength was comparable to that of a cultivator in the Fusion Stage.

Everyone's aura was several times stronger than before, and the contracted beasts around them exuded even more powerful pressure - the lightning of the Thunder Leopard, the water laws of the Blue Water Qilin, the flames of the Three-legged Golden Crow...

The powers of various mythical beasts intertwined together, causing the space of this secret realm to slightly distort.

"Kaka!"

Suddenly, bursts of noise came from the sky of the secret realm.

Everyone looked up and saw that the spiritual mist covering Octopus Island was slowly dissipating, and a huge light gate appeared in the sky.

Su Mingxian took the lead and walked towards the portal, followed closely by the Chaos Dragon Whale. Its huge body could move freely through the portal without causing any hindrance.

Su Gaowei, Su Gaocheng and others followed suit, their contracted beasts either transformed into streams of light and merged into their masters' bodies, or shrank in size and followed behind them.

Wu Ma Congjue touched the powerful black bear's head and said with a smile, "From now on, we will be partners." The powerful black bear growled, rubbed his palm, turned into a black shadow and merged into his dantian.

Thirty people, carrying their respective contracted beasts, slowly walked out of the secret realm gate.

When they stepped onto the Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain Beach, the morning sun was rising from the sea level, and the golden sunlight shone on them, stretching their shadows very long.

What they didn't know was that after they left, Octopus Island underwent amazing changes - the spiritual energy overflowing from the secret realm merged with the power of the spiritual veins, making the land on the island more fertile, and the originally withered grass and trees regained vitality, and even new spiritual herbs and flowers broke through the ground; the pressure of the divine beast that had not yet dissipated in the air made the monsters in the surrounding seas dare not approach, and this place actually became a new holy land for cultivation.

As for the Demon-Slaying Secret Realm?

Not a trace left.

When Su Xiaoya saw the thirty people led by Su Mingxian returning, her eyes were full of smiles.

So what if great changes are coming to Qingyuan Star?

The major forces on Qingyuan Star are vying for power, the resources of the secret realm are becoming increasingly depleted, and countless cultivators have perished in the struggle...

Mahayana monsters appeared one after another...

Su Xiaoya would be lying if she said she wasn't anxious. Otherwise, she wouldn't be practicing so frantically and training so hard, just to reach the top as soon as possible and have enough strength to deal with the crisis when the change came.

Nowadays, the Su family has more and more Mahayana cultivators, and there are also ancient mythical beasts such as the Chaos Dragon Whale, the Thunder Prison Qilin, etc.

So not only she is working hard, everyone in the Su family is working hard.

Su Xiaoya stepped forward.

The moment Su Mingxian and the others saw Su Xiaoya, everyone's face was filled with joy and pride.

From now on, there is no need for this thin little girl to always stand in front of everyone and work alone to provide a roof over their heads.

They did not waste the opportunity to train in the East China Sea, and everyone gained a lot.

In the future, they will be able to take on more responsibilities.

When Yu Shuheng rushed over, he heard Su Mingxian and the team members chattering about their experience on Octopus Island.

Everyone was amazed.

Su Xiaoya was even more delighted. With so many masters and magical beasts, the Su family would undoubtedly have more confidence in the upcoming major changes.
