Chapter 223 The Immortal Kingdom Under the Sea
The blow was earth-shattering; even hundreds of miles apart, the chilling aftershocks could still be felt.

The light from the split night lingered for a long time, like a pillar of light standing atop the sea of ​​clouds, dividing the sky in two.

"This power..." Su Cheng held his breath inwardly. "Perfected Spirit Profound Realm?"

"I'm afraid it's even worse."

Shi Xuan gazed intently into the distance: "How could such a conflict suddenly erupt in the Star Origin Land?"

"Perhaps it's two powerful factions vying for rare and precious materials?"

Lu Hongxi hesitated and said, "It is rumored that this place contains many rare treasures, which can even benefit spiritual cultivators."

"In any case, this serves as a wake-up call for us." Su Cheng exhaled slowly, his expression becoming more solemn.

He secretly estimated that although he still had ten or twenty million units of spiritual energy reserves, he dared not say that he was certain of victory in the face of that earth-shattering attack.

This trip requires utmost caution.

Two streaks of light pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, flying backwards for hundreds of miles.

As the towering black flames dissipated, the proud figure of a white-haired man was revealed.

He was dressed in a black and gold robe, his body surging with spiritual energy. His cold eyes were fixed on the dissipating white light in the distance, and he let out a cold snort:
"As expected of the ancestor of the Origin Dragon Clan, he has survived the ancient calamity to this day. He is indeed extraordinary."

A golden-patterned spirit boat soared through the air, and several richly dressed cultivators flew out and bowed respectfully.

"Ancestor, what is the outcome of this battle?"

"It's barely a draw."

The white-haired man's expression darkened slightly: "But that white dragon's body was already incomplete, and its cultivation was no longer what it used to be. Now, having suffered the aftershocks of my attack, it must be seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators' eyes gleamed, and they all urged, "Then we can go straight to the Star Origin Land and take its head—"

"No."

The white-haired man raised his hand to stop him. "I have also suffered some internal injuries and need to recuperate for a while. That Origin Dragon Ancestor has lived for thousands of years, and no one can fathom the depth of his foundation. If you juniors act rashly, I'm afraid you won't return alive."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Moreover, we have been concealing our whereabouts from the various races by descending to the mortal realm this time, using the 'avoidance of heavenly secrets' to cover our tracks. We must not get entangled with them for too long."

"But what we'll do next..."

"While Yuan Tianlong Ancestor is preoccupied with his own affairs, you should sneak into the Star Origin Land, obtain the Star Suppressing Cup, and return immediately."

"As ordered."

The cultivators instantly broke through the air and disappeared, disappearing into the Star Origin Land where spiritual energy surged.

The white-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemingly piercing through the void, a cold smile subtly curving his lips.

"Once we get our hands on the Zhenxing Cup, the situation will be completely different. Even the Wen family will die!"

Boom——!
Thunder and lightning raged across the sky, sweeping across the ocean and whipping up countless waterspouts.

Su Cheng had already arrived at the Star Origin region on his sword and witnessed this astonishing scene.

He couldn't help but frown slightly: "The Origin of Stars, could it be in the ocean?"

Shi Xuan also looked surprised. Although she had long heard of the fame of this place, she had never set foot there herself, so she naturally did not know its details.

“The entrance seems to be over there.” Lü Hongxi raised her slender finger and pointed to a spot on the coast.

A towering, ancient archway stood majestically, its bluestone path leading straight into the sea. The surrounding spiritual energy, like a veil, blocked the surging seawater, forming a passage to the deep sea.

"What an exquisite arrangement."

As Su Cheng was about to approach, he caught a glimpse of the faint outline of a village in the sea fog several miles away.

"There are actually people living here?"

"This place is rich in spiritual energy and can be considered a treasure land for cultivation."

Shi Xuan flashed back into the jade hairpin and murmured, "Although the thunder in the sky is terrifying, a closer look reveals that these lightning bolts are all formed by arrays, only to protect the sea and have not affected the coast or land at all."

Su Cheng seemed to be deep in thought. He turned his flying sword around and prepared to go to that village to find out what was going on.

But at that moment, Lü Hongxi suddenly tugged at his sleeve:
"There's no need to go; there's no one there anymore."

"Hmm?" Su Cheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "What does Senior Sister mean?"

“I have a keen sense of malevolent energy. There are no survivors in that small village, only the lingering evil aura remains.”

"."

Su Cheng frowned. It seemed that another evil cultivator was at work.
Without saying another word, he immediately flew down on his sword and entered the stone gate, stepping into the Star Origin Land.

In an instant, a strange ripple spread around everyone, and the scene before their eyes suddenly changed.

The vast and boundless underwater world slowly unfolds before your eyes, with ancient buildings standing side by side, creating a magnificent sight.

"Is there a hidden world beneath the sea?"

Su Cheng and the other two held their breath and stared intently. With just a fleeting glimpse, they felt as if they were in a legendary underwater kingdom.

Countless pagodas, like colossal pillars reaching to the heavens, pierced the sky, while the boundless sea hung like an inverted curtain, with starlight twinkling within. "—There are cultivators here?"

A surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Su Cheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black-flag spirit boat flying through the air, hovering more than a hundred feet away.

Several burly cultivators emerged from within, all exuding sharp auras.

They all stared at them, scrutinizing them: "Judging from their appearance, they seem to be a young couple who came together?"

Su Cheng glanced at him indifferently, his gaze lingering on the spiritual patterns on the other person's clothes.

"Xuan'er, these people..."

"They seem to be cultivators from the Qian clan."

Shi Xuan whispered in his mind, "This is one of the Five Great Clans of the Wilderness, occupying the territory of ten kingdoms, and its power is extremely large."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng calmly replied, "We have come to search for someone. I wonder if any of you fellow cultivators have—"

"Coming to the Origin of Stars to search for someone?"

The middle-aged cultivator at the head of the group shook his head and chuckled: "This place is the ruins of an ancient battlefield, fraught with danger at every turn. You two should be careful."

“Brother Li is absolutely right.” Another burly cultivator said in a deep voice, “We have already faced several life-or-death situations while only exploring the outer perimeter.”

"It would be unwise for the two of you to venture in alone. If you don't mind, would you be willing to accompany us?"

"Junior brother."

Lu Hongxi secretly transmitted her voice: "These people are definitely not good people."

"I can tell." Su Cheng's gaze swept over the spirit boat behind these cultivators.

Despite the deliberate attempt to conceal it, subtle fluctuations in spiritual energy could still be detected, indicating that an array was being secretly set up.

"Was the great battle at sea previously orchestrated by your Qian clan?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators present narrowed their eyes slightly, but their tense expressions quickly eased.

"Unfortunately, those two powerful figures are none of our concern."

The leading cultivator quietly pressed down on the hilt of his sword, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "However, it seems that this has nothing to do with you two."

Before the words were even finished, fierce and malevolent auras erupted from these people, and multiple arrays enveloped an area of ​​several miles.

Killing intent accompanied by countless sword shadows and talismans appeared, and the cultivators all offered up their sinister spiritual treasures, and the techniques of binding souls and spirits were already in place.

Such skillful technique clearly indicates this is not the first time he has used it.

"This could be another 'opportunity' before I leave."

The leading cultivator's eyes were cold as he lightly tapped the array seal: "In this way, the third soul flag can be forged."

Zheng!
A sword rang out suddenly, and a crisp cracking sound exploded all around.

All the formations shattered instantly, and the cultivators, still in the postures of casting spells, were covered in streaks of blood.

puff!

In an instant, severed limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"These people are really noisy."

Lü Hongxi sheathed her sword, her brows furrowing slightly: "It would be better to just cut them off completely."

Su Cheng nodded slightly and pointed at the spirit boat not far away.

In an instant, purple lightning and black mist surged, and dragon claws and snake tails emerged from the mist, dragging the entire spirit boat into the abyss. Before several screams could be heard, it was swallowed up along with the surrounding corpses.

[Absorption of pure spiritual energy: 620 years] [Absorption of impure spiritual energy: 40 years] [Absorption of dark domain mystic energy: 1 year]

[The Twelve Banners of Blood Sacrifice, a Divine Treasure of the Crimson Profound] [Each banner can be used to refine one hundred pure souls; once all twelve banners are filled, the character can advance to perfection.]

Su Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the new set of black-patterned blood flags in his hand.

The aura within was mottled and chaotic, containing not only the souls of cultivators but also the spirits of men, women, and children.
The flames in his palm suddenly ignited, devouring all the flags and retrieving them into his system space.

“In this desolate land, cultivators are indeed acting without any scruples.”

"If you encounter any cultivators along the way, do not trust them easily." Lü Hongxi's voice softened slightly: "Let your sister deal with them."

Su Cheng chuckled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

He took out the dragon scale from his bosom, and with a slight exertion of his internal energy, the scale emitted a shimmering spiritual light.

".Um?"

Sensing the guidance of the dragon scales, Su Cheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"That Bai Zu seems to be not far away?"
