Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

Moonlit Pool, Demonic Ice Valley.

In a canyon entirely made of frozen ice, a young man in black wields a knife, his blade sharp and gleaming, like a line between heaven and earth, capable of taking the life of a demon in an instant.

"His swordsmanship is getting better and better."

On the snow-capped peaks on one side of the canyon, the Demon King looked down.

Throughout a century of bloodshed, he witnessed Xia Mangqing grow stronger in every aspect, even reaching the fourth level in swordsmanship.

In Moonlit Pool, it is already extremely rare to cultivate a certain Great Dao power to the fourth level. Xia Mangqing, who mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Qiankun, and also cultivates the Dao of the Blade and the Dao of Lightning, has reached the fourth level of the Great Dao power in the past hundred years.

"Yes, he's improved too fast. If I were to fight him now, I'd probably be easily defeated," sighed the guardian of the second island, "God of Purgatory."

"The Jueming of yesteryear is far inferior to him. With such talent and comprehension, it probably won't be long before he reaches Falling Moon Island," said the guardian of the first island, "Snow Demon."

"That's inevitable. How could that Jue Tian God compare to this Qing Xuan Tian God?" The original guardian, Yaksha, grinned maliciously.

At this moment, Wanshan Island and its previous guardians gathered here, witnessing Xia Mangqing's transformation over the past century.

"That's about it."

The Demon King suddenly spoke, then shouted, "Retreat!"

In the canyon, countless demons immediately retreated.

Then the Demon King appeared before Xia Mangqing. Upon seeing him, Xia Mangqing bowed slightly and said, "I wonder if I may pass through this Demon Ice Valley and proceed to the next island?"

"Of course, you've killed quite a few demons over the past hundred years."

The Demon King, relaxed, chuckled, "You may now proceed to Thousand Star Island, but before that, I'll take you to retrieve the treasure."

Xia Mangqing nodded and followed closely behind. Before long, they arrived at a small island.

"I won't go into the rules, you can only choose three."

The Demon King squinted his eyes and said.

"Hmm." Xia Mangqing nodded, then looked at the many strange things growing on this treasure island. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he saw an area that flowed like flames.

"Senior, I want a portion of the Crimson Sun Marrow."

The Crimson Sun Marrow is one of the two chaotic treasures required for cultivating the Golden Elixir of the Sun, but which are not found in the Three Realms. Since Xia Mangqing has seen it here, he naturally cannot let it go.

"Crimson Sun Marrow?" The Demon King frowned. "No, Crimson Sun Marrow is the foundation; how can I give it to you?"

"I don't need much, around a million catties."

"A million catties?! No, that's too much!"

The Demon King glared at him: "I'll give you a maximum of 300,000 jin."

"make a deal."

Xia Mangqing readily agreed. Cultivating the Sun Golden Core required approximately 10,000 catties of Crimson Sun Marrow for each clone, and he could obtain 300,000 catties, more than enough.

"..."

The Demon King felt he had been tricked by Xia Mangqing.

The latter, unaware of the danger, casually selected two more unusual items.

Then we headed to the fourth island – Thousand Star Island.

This is the last island before leaving Moonlit Lake, and also the most difficult to pass through, where many gods have been trapped.

Of course, not all the gods of Thousand Star Island arrived here on their own. According to the rules, the gods in Moonlit Pool can give up the challenge and choose to follow other gods.

Jueming was the same in the past, but when he was going through the trials of Thousand Star Island, he accidentally rushed through and could not return. As a result, many gods were left on Thousand Star Island by him.

He became the representative of "unkindness" in the eyes of the gods.

"Is this Thousand Star Island?" After arriving at Thousand Star Island, Xia Mangqing released the gods who had come with him. They were all looking at Thousand Star Island with curiosity.

It is worth mentioning that Xia Mangqing did not bring the Heavenly Gods of the Wujian Sect with him. A great calamity is coming. No matter what the relationship is between the Heavenly Gods of the Wujian Sect in the Moonlit Pool and his side, Xia Mangqing will not take them away, after all, that would be aiding the enemy.

"It's Fellow Daoist Feng Ming!"

"Brother Fengming!"

Before long, they saw a celestial being. The celestial being recognized them and immediately flew over.

"Xiuke, the Seven Dragon Gods, Feiyou... it's you!"

The God of Wind and Darkness recognized them, and while surprised, he also spoke with joy.

"Feng Ming, come here, let us introduce you. This is Brother Qing Xuan. He comes from the Xia Mang clan of the human race and is also a disciple of the Snow Dragon Dao Ancestor. We came to Thousand Star Island with him this time."

Xiu Ke, the Heavenly God, explained with a smile that if it weren't for Xia Mangqing, he wouldn't know how long he would have been tormented by the Snow Demon and would have gone completely insane sooner or later. It could be said that Xia Mangqing saved his life.

"They ventured to Thousand Star Island alone? Brother Qingxuan is truly formidable!"

Fengming, the Celestial God, exclaimed in admiration, "Throughout countless ages, even including you, Brother Qingxuan, only nine Celestial Gods have been able to reach Thousand Star Island through their own strength. Truly remarkable, truly remarkable!"

"Brother Fengming, you flatter me." Xia Mangqing smiled faintly. "I wonder what the current situation is like on Thousand Star Island? Which of the remaining Celestials have managed to get here on their own?"

Fengming Tianshen's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "How about this, we'll talk as we go. Fenghou and Zuiwei are both here, and we'll explain the specifics to you then."

"Throat slit and crime?"

"Yes, they all reached Thousand Star Island on their own."

"Then it's not surprising!"

The eldest of the seven ancient dragon gods, the withered dragon god, beamed with joy: "Back then, they were already exceptionally talented and were valued by the true gods and ancestral gods of our human race. It's not surprising that they were able to get here on their own!"

The God of Throat Sealing and the God of Sin were warriors who followed the emperors of humanity in ancient times, witnessing the rise of the human race. They were also considered war gods within the human race.

They were already very strong in the past, and now they have managed to reach Thousand Star Island on their own. Looking across the Three Realms, their strength is definitely among the top two of the gods and immortals.

"Feng Ming, quickly lead us there. It's been many years since we last met, we must hold a feast for immortals and demons." Fei You, the Celestial God, laughed. Among all the Celestial Gods, apart from Xia Mangqing, he was the strongest.

"Alright." Fengming Heavenly God nodded.

Before long, they found themselves in a place filled with palaces, where many gods had gathered.

Upon seeing Xia Mangqing and his group arrive, many recognized their old friends and immediately came to greet them. Then, just as Fei You had suggested, they held a feast for immortals and demons.

After some time, the God of Sealing Throat finally spoke, explaining the current situation on Thousand Star Island: "The gods on Thousand Star Island are now divided into two camps. We are one camp, while the other camp consists of gods from the Inextricable Gate."

"Logically, upon entering Moonlit Pool, one should support each other, but the Great Dream God of the Boundless Sect killed Xu Jiu..."

The God of Sealing Throat gritted his teeth and revealed this matter. The God of Nine Heavens was also a god who ventured to Thousand Star Island alone, and he was very strong. He originally had a chance to break through Thousand Star Island and leave Moonlit Pool.

However, he was ambushed by the Great Dream God of the Wujian Sect and ultimately died. Since then, the gods on Thousand Star Island have been divided into two camps, guarding against each other.

The God of Sin's eyes were filled with hatred: "That Great Dream is very strong. He is a disciple of that God King of the Boundless Sect. It is too difficult to kill him. Qingxuan, you must be careful and not fall into his trap."

"rest assured."

Xia Mangqing nodded, secretly plotting to kill the Great Dream God.

You can't guard against thieves forever. Although the threat is not too high, it is still best to deal with them as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen changes.
