I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 571 The Radiant Pearl (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Guided by Hua Gu, the group dived into the water.

The underwater pressure did indeed increase dramatically, but it was still manageable thanks to Qingxiao's Rejuvenating Realm.

Jiang Yi sent Fu Liu to scout ahead, and they quickly passed through the magnificent crystal palace gates, where, as expected, even more water palace maids were floating around.

With their previous experience, Fu Liu's magic-breaking talisman and Zhao Ming's golden leaf worked together to quickly clear a passage.

Deep within the palace, a colossal, seven-colored coral tree stands at the very center. Despite being on the seabed, the tips of each coral branch are adorned with water droplets of varying sizes, making them difficult to blend with the surrounding seawater.

Moreover, these water droplets all shimmer with different lusters; some are tricolor, some are five-color, and some are seven-color.

The most common color is tricolor, but there's only one drop of seven-color.

"The key to the formation is this coral tree," Hua Gu said excitedly.

Zhen Shan stepped forward, his arm muscles bulging, waiting for Jiang Yi's command to smash the coral tree with a single punch.

"Don't rush," Duan Jin whispered to Zhen Shan.

Jiang Yi was still observing the coral tree when she arrived in front of it. The Kunlun Dao Seal flickered slightly in her mind, truly serving as a treasure-hunting compass.

She didn't know if they were too strong, making it easy for them to enter, or if the Kunlun Dao Seal had specifically sent her here to retrieve something.

Hanging on Hua Gu's waist, the small mirror-shaped Zhu Xin seemed to have finally found information about this coral tree. The mirror surface emitted a faint golden light, transforming into the phantom image of the young boy Zhu Xin.

"This is the mother coral of the Cangyuan clan from the ancient times. According to your current terminology, the Cangyuan clan is the extinct sea shark clan."

As soon as Zhu Xin spoke, everyone looked at him with eager eyes.

Zhu Xin couldn't help but grin at the sight of those stupid-looking faces.

"Every hundred years, the mother coral of the luminous light will give birth to a drop of spiritual liquid. If the spiritual liquid is dripped into the eyes, it will allow the Cangyuan clan to see as clearly as in daylight in the dark deep sea, to see the spiritual light contained within the spiritual objects, and not to be deceived by the illusions of other sea monsters."

"A hundred-year-old spiritual liquid allows for clear vision, while a thousand-year-old spiritual liquid allows for penetrating the subtle. One can directly observe the flow of spiritual energy, discern the grade and defects of pills and magical treasures, and even see through a cultivator's innate talent and foundation. A ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid allows for glimpsing the truth. In addition to the above abilities, one can also briefly rewind the past within the range of vision."

"The ability to rewind time cannot exceed forty-nine days and can only be used once a day. The method of glimpsing the truth is prone to backlash from the Heavenly Dao. At best, it will cause bloodshot eyes; at worst, it will cause blindness. No amount of rare and precious materials can cure it."

Upon hearing this, Hua Gu exclaimed in admiration, "That's amazing!"

Zhu Xin chuckled and looked at the coral tree. "There's something even more amazing. After producing spiritual liquid, the ten-thousand-year-old coral tree will stop growing and will no longer produce new spiritual liquid. Inside, it will nurture a 'Radiant Pearl,' which can make people stay young forever, have a stunning appearance, and... add five hundred years to their lifespan."

"In the ancient times, this thing was everywhere among the Deep Sea Abyss Clan, so it wasn't unusual. In the prehistoric era, it took some effort to find a few. And now, I'm afraid such a luminous coral mother can only be found in the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm. It cannot be transplanted. Taking its spiritual liquid is fine, but taking its pearl will kill the coral instantly."

Hua Gu frowned. "But if we want to break out of this formation, we must destroy this coral tree."

Jiang Yi stepped forward, now holding a storage bag filled with bottles of spirit liquid.

"Don't worry about so much. Take the spiritual liquid first, and then take the 'Radiant Pearl' last. Getting out of here is the most important thing. Hua Gu, take another look around and see if there's anything else we can collect. If we don't collect it, the people who come later will also loot it."

"it is good!"

Now came Hua Gu's favorite part. She dragged Zhu Xin at breakneck speed, wandering around the Crystal Palace like a gentle breeze. Finally, she actually saw a filamentous object emitting a soft blue light on the palace's beams and pillars.

"It's water cloud silk."

Zhu Xin recognized it at a glance; it was a superior spiritual material for weaving robes.

Without any hesitation, and without even letting Zhu Xin finish speaking, Hua Gu collected all the water cloud silk she could gather. Seeing that Jiang Yi and the others had exhausted their spiritual liquid, Hua Gu then pried off all the 'Millennium Mystic Pearls' used for lighting throughout the Crystal Palace. These pearls, when ground into powder and refined into pills, also had anti-aging effects; Hong Li had said that anti-aging pills were extremely valuable!
With a loud crash, the coral tree was smashed to pieces by Zhenshan's punch. Jiang Yi personally took out the luminous pearl, about the size of an infant's fist, which was embedded deep in the base and still emitted a seven-colored glow, with a texture like a pearl.

Jiang Yi gestured to her mouth, "This is so big, how wide do you have to open your mouth to fit it? It'll probably choke you to death."

A disdainful voice rang out, "How could you utter such ignorant words? In the ancient times, all living beings were much larger than they are now. The size of this bead is just a peanut to the Cangyuan Clan."

Jiang Yi was in a great mood after a fruitful harvest.

After the coral tree shattered, a dark opening collapsed beneath it, drawing water into it and creating a waterspout. Hua Gu was certain that this was the exit from the great formation.

Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Yi sent all the demons back to Youxian Ferry and put away the Xibing. She changed her appearance using illusion magic, took out the Eight Treasures Gilded Mirror that Jin Wanguan had given her for protection, and stepped into the water tornado alone.

Jiang Yi felt as if light and shadow were flowing before her eyes and the space was violently shaking, as if she had been thrown out by an invisible giant hand.

When her feet finally touched the ground, the dizziness had not completely subsided.

She landed in a dense, primeval forest where towering ancient trees with gnarled branches and canopies blocked out the sky, leaving only scattered specks of light and making the forest dim, as if dusk had fallen early.

Underfoot was a thick layer of decaying leaves, accumulated over countless years. It was soft and silent underfoot, and the damp earthy smell mingled with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees.

The environment was indeed very similar to the two ancient secret realms that Jiang Yi had visited before.

Jiang Yi had only taken two steps when a chill emanating from the depths of her soul suddenly exploded!

Two vast and unfathomable divine senses pressed down from both the front and back without warning, instantly locking onto her firmly.

"God transformation?!"

Jiang Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart almost stopped beating. Under the lock-on of the Nascent Soul level divine sense, the illusion of being blinded by a leaf was useless, and she had no way to escape.

Jiang Yi immediately abandoned the idea of ​​escaping, quickly packed up all her belongings, and prepared to assess the situation first.

"Hmph, you're quite sensible." A deep, resonant voice came from ahead.

"Why are you still wearing that shell? Let me see your true colors!"

As the woman's voice rang out, an irresistible force swept over Jiang Yi, causing the illusion spell she had cast to fail and revealing her true form.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators, one male and one female, then appeared before her.

"It turned out to be you!"

"Wonderful! We've been searching high and low for this place! Little sister, you're truly our lucky star!"

Jiang Yi remained calm, her brows furrowed. She had never seen these two Nascent Soul cultivators before, nor were they among the most renowned figures in the major powers of the Floating Light Sea.

One of the most imposing men, with deep blue skin covered in fine scales, stepped forward. He had a rugged face, two short, thick, coral-like horns on his forehead, and eyes like two deep blue sapphires, gleaming with a cold and greedy light.

He exuded the powerful aura of someone in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, carrying the savage aura of a deep-sea behemoth.

The other was a woman with a graceful figure, a bewitching face, skin so white it was almost transparent, and lips that were an eerie deep purple. Her long, seaweed-like hair moved without wind.

Her aura was more restrained, yet it carried the terrifying pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Her emerald green vertical pupils scrutinized Jiang Yi with great interest, as if admiring a rare treasure.

They are sea monsters!
