Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Hmm?" Liu Xing, who was flying, suddenly made a curious sound.

"Brother Xing, what's wrong?" Nie Xiaoqian noticed that her husband looked different and asked curiously.

"There is a small island a hundred kilometers away. It seems that there are four or five Jindan cultivators gathering there. Let's go over and take a look." Liu Xing answered casually. He finally met a fellow Taoist of the same level, so Liu Xing naturally didn't intend to let him go.

"Stop, these people seem to be plotting something bad." Through constant observation and his powerful spiritual sense, Liu Xing heard some sporadic words such as "mutiny", "launch in ten days", and "kill the island owner".

"Ah?!" Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed slightly. Her spiritual sense was not as good as Liu Xing's, so she naturally couldn't sense the situation in front of her. However, she immediately stopped the Sky Shuttle that was flying forward rapidly.

"Let's sneak over and listen to what they are trying to do." Liu Xing seemed interested.

"Okay!" Nie Xiaoqian also became excited. It seemed that neither of them was a person who would stay at ease. However, since they were skilled and courageous, there was really nothing to be afraid of just a few Jindan opponents.

The Sky Shuttle's cloaking function was activated to its full potential, quietly approaching the island. It remained silently suspended in the clouds above the group, completely oblivious to their presence.

Nie Xiaoqian finally saw the four people below clearly, one in the late Jindan stage and three in the middle Jindan stage, but she did not use her spiritual sense to investigate for fear of alerting the enemy.

The four had set up a forbidden magic circle to prevent anyone from peeping or eavesdropping, but they had never dreamed of encountering Liu Xing, who was even more powerful than the average Nascent Soul monster. Liu Xing easily immersed his consciousness into the magic circle and heard their conversation clearly.

"What qualifications does Mu Wen have to occupy Kuixing Island? He calls himself the island master, but he is just a remnant of his master. Now that his cheap master has passed away, does he still want to occupy Kuixing Island? But he also has the strength of the peak of the late Jindan stage. If we really fight, we will not have the advantage."

"Don't worry, everyone. Mu Wen will be dealt with by Old Monster Ouyang and I. Old Monster Ouyang is also at the peak of the late Jindan stage, and his poison skills are unparalleled in the world. With his help this time, it will be more than enough for us to deal with Mu Wen together." The red-robed old man sitting in the first seat replied. The old man had a pointed face and a shrewd look. He also had the strength of the late Jindan stage, and was the initiator of this rebellion.

When everyone heard that Old Monster Ouyang would also participate in the operation, they all looked horrified, as if some bad memories were brought back.

"Is old monster Ouyang also involved in this operation? Will it backfire on him? This old monster has a weird temper and is bloodthirsty. He once poisoned and slaughtered the demons in a sea area of ​​100 miles in anger, causing this sea area to not recover for a hundred years. It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. Brother Tang, think twice." Someone advised.

"It's okay. As far as I know, Old Monster Ouyang has reached the False Infant Realm and is about to go into seclusion to form an infant. Mu Wen has something he must get. If he hadn't taken the initiative to propose this action, I wouldn't be so hasty to take action." The red-robed old man seemed to have thought about it a long time ago.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Brother Tang was so impatient. He should have made more preparations to be more confident. Now that we have the help of old monster Ouyang, it's almost certain that we can overthrow Mu Wen's rule this time." Everyone felt relieved.

"That's right, the success rate is extremely high this time. Brother Tang should be credited with the greatest credit for inviting Old Monster Ouyang here. After the success, I will nominate Brother Tang as the new island master." Someone immediately flattered the red-robed old man.

The old man in the red robe finally had a smile on his face. He looked at the flatterer with gratitude, thinking that he would give him more benefits after the matter was accomplished.

"Brothers, after this is accomplished, I, Tang, will not treat you unfairly. In addition, if Old Monster Ouyang succeeds in forming a fetus, it will be of great benefit to our brothers' later cultivation if we can make friends with him in advance." The red-robed old man said confidently.

"That's all for today. We'll split up and prepare, and take action in ten days!"

Finally, the old man in red robe made specific arrangements and ended the secret meeting.

Liu Xing and his wife took the opportunity to start the Sky Shuttle and quietly left.

During the eavesdropping, Liu Xing had already recorded the conspiracy conversation between the red-robed old man and others using a small magic tool like a crystal ball, and showed it to Nie Xiaoqian on the way.

"Brother Xing, it looks like Kuixing Island is about to be in chaos. Should we not get involved in this mess? We are unfamiliar with the place, so we'd better be careful." Nie Xiaoqian said worriedly.

"Qian'er is right. Although I don't think these people are a threat, but pulling out the radish will bring out the mud. Who knows what forces and masters are behind these people? If we deal with the small ones, the old ones will come again. It will be endless." Liu Xing also agreed with what his wife said.

The two of them rode non-stop and arrived at Kuixing Island in half a day. There were tens of thousands of ships of all sizes in the harbor, and the dock was bustling with people.

According to maps, Kuixing Island is a huge, long island with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is surrounded by many large and small islands, which are scattered all over the place. This is how it got its name.

Liu Xing and his wife used a spell to become invisible and passed by quietly without disturbing anyone, heading straight for the center of the island.

As usual, Liu Xing went to the bookstore first, and Nie Xiaoqian followed her husband. To Liu Xing's disappointment, there were very few books available on the island, far less than inland.

In just three days, Liu Xing and his wife had read every available book, gaining a deeper understanding of the customs and practices of the Chaos Sea. They then began browsing various shops, discovering that the alchemy and Qi-refining techniques were rather crude. Even with Liu Xing's master-level skills and perspective, they were considered rubbish. However, he was delighted to find a wealth of elixirs and demonic beast carcasses not found inland, allowing him to gain further knowledge about materials.

"Brother Xing, Kuixing Island is just a small border town compared to the Chaos Sea. Information here is blocked, and it is difficult for us to obtain higher-level resources." Nie Xiaoqian said with some disappointment.

"Yes, it seems we have to go to the Island Master's Mansion." Liu Xing put down a coral-like spiritual medicine in his hand and responded to his wife.

"During this period, I heard from others that the islanders are quite supportive of the current island master, Mu Wen, and that he is not a vicious person. Under his leadership, the people of Kuixing Island live and work in peace and contentment, and the monks are also willing to come here to settle down and practice." Nie Xiaoqian is meticulous and had already done some investigation on the island master, Mu.

"A righteous man has many supporters, and Master Mu is a good man. However, we have to test it ourselves. If we feel it is good, we can exchange the news of the red-robed old man's secret rebellion with him." Liu Xing pondered.

All the cultivators who have reached a high level of cultivation are decisive and ruthless, and have countless ways to fool the people. It is naturally impossible for Liu Xing and his wife to draw conclusions based on just a few words from the people.

"Brother Xing, shall we go tonight?" Nie Xiaoqian said eagerly.
