Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 502 The Tide is Coming (Please Subscribe)

Inside the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, the red candles burned out.

Demon Lord Wanmeng lay limp among the disheveled brocade quilts, her snow-white skin covered in red marks that still shimmered faintly.

There were also obvious bruises on his knees.

She was weak and listless; even opening her eyes was a struggle.

Within his dantian, the true elixir faintly showed some cracks.

Last night's battle was even more mentally taxing than a life-or-death struggle.

Beside him, Shen Xuan, shirtless, looked completely unaffected, his eyes closed in a relaxed manner.

A spiritual light rippled across his body, forming scale-like patterns.

"You rascal!"

Wanmeng Demon Lord's voice was a little dry.

She gently rested her head on Shen Xuan's chest, her fingers lightly touching his skin, which was as hard as steel.

Shen Xuan kept his eyes closed, letting him tease him.

"What important intelligence is so important to me? You can tell me now."

Wanmeng gritted her teeth, took out a blood-red demon pill, and swallowed it.

His complexion then improved somewhat.

"Three thousand miles south of Flying Dragon Island, there is a third-tier water demon."

"It is a sea-overturning dragon, a descendant of the divine dragon bloodline. Whenever the great tide comes, it will lead the nearby water demons to attack the islands."

"The last time, sixty years ago, the Overturning Sea Dragon tore apart a True Core cultivator from the Divine Sword Sect and swallowed him."

To the west of Flying Dragon Island lies a second-tier top-grade island called Spirit Sword Island, which is a spirit island directly under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sword Sect.

It's closer to land.

The Divine Sword Sect organized a large-scale development of Spirit Sword Island.

They also set up a spirit-nurturing array, which consumed a large amount of spirit stones and spiritual objects from heaven and earth to nourish the spiritual veins.

I want to upgrade Spirit Sword Island to a Tier 3 island.

As it turned out, sixty years ago...

When the tide rises, of the three thousand cultivators on Spirit Sword Island, not one in ten survives.

The True Core Master of the Divine Sword Sect, who was specifically assigned to guard the area, perished in the mouth of the Overturning Sea Flood Dragon.

Demon Lord Wanmeng chuckled, "Shen Xuan, the protective array of Flying Dragon Island can't withstand even a few of its claws."

"At most three claws. After three claws, the island's protective formation will surely break."

Shen Xuan opened his eyes, reached out and hugged Wanmeng, the Demon Lord, then suddenly flipped over and pinned her down.

"what are you doing……"

"don't want……"

However, the screams were quickly muffled by something.

Outside, a sudden gust of wind rippled across the spring river.

……

More than ten days later, Demon Lord Wanmeng left with hatred in her heart.

For the past ten days, Shen Xuan seemed tireless, using all sorts of methods to torment her to the point of near death.

At first, Demon Lord Wanmeng was still hoping that the restorative power of the True Core would surpass that of Shen Xuan's Dao Foundation and Spiritual Sea.

The result was cruel.

Each time, she was exhausted and powerless to struggle.

Shen Xuan, however, was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.

Demon Lord Wanmeng mentioned the matter of the Yin Sha Demon Dragon in the Demon Realm twice.

Every time she mentioned it, she was met not only with a cold rejection, but also with a storm of torment.

Finally, Demon Lord Wanmeng found an excuse and fled from Flying Dragon Island as if she were escaping.

Before leaving, he left behind a jade slip containing detailed information about the Overturning Sea Dragon.

"Finally, they're gone!"

After realizing that Demon Lord Wanmeng had indeed left.

Shen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the cave, he fell into a deep sleep.

Even though he was exceptionally talented and physically strong.

Dealing with Wanmeng, a True Core Demon Lord of the Hehuan Sect, is quite difficult.

Fortunately, he has excellent acting skills.

Even with huge deficits, one can still project an image of strength.

Constantly demanding.

They keep trying new and creative ways to cause trouble.

This instilled fear in Wanmeng, the Demon Lord, who ultimately departed with resentment.

"Sea-Overturning Dragon!"

"It is skilled in thunder, water, and wind magic, and its movements are unpredictable. It can be up to thirty feet long, or only a few feet long. Its head is like a dragon, with a single horn on its forehead, and its entire body is covered with black scales."

"Its lair is in the Thunderous Abyss in the deep sea south of Flying Dragon Island. It has a single horn on its forehead that can summon thunderclouds from the heavens, which can then be transformed into a hundred-foot-long bolt of lightning to strike its target."

"His physical body is incredibly strong, and he loves to swing his tail like a dragon, his power comparable to a full-force strike from a Golden Core cultivator."

"The True Person of the Divine Sword Sect was severely injured by its tail swing, his spiritual power stagnated, and he perished in its mouth."

"Can control the celestial phenomena over a hundred miles of sea, unleash torrential rain like arrows, summon hurricanes, and unleash the divine light of tainted magical artifacts."

"Its body is a hundred feet in size and forms its own domain. Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot resist it at all. Once they enter its domain, their physical bodies will shatter."

"It seems to possess a special innate ability that can greatly enhance the power of the dragon bloodline, devouring the essence and blood of all living beings within a thousand feet radius, thereby strengthening its own power."

"Its vital point is the white, reversed scales three inches below the neck. Apart from that, there are no other fatal weaknesses."

It must be said that this information from Demon Lord Wanmeng is very valuable.

Shen Xuan's hard work over the past ten days and ten days was not in vain; he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.

After reading the intelligence jade slip, Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

He was determined to win against the dragon that overturned the sea.

Thunder magic, water magic, wind magic, size controllable, dragon blood boiling.

Shen Xuan looked at the description in the intelligence report and pondered a countermeasure in his heart.

Today, Flying Dragon Island is the spiritual island with the most cultivators in the surrounding waters.

After eating humans, monsters will develop a "cannibalistic habit" and repeatedly attack humans.

Especially for cultivators, their physical bodies are a great source of nourishment for demonic beasts.

The Overturning Sea Dragon should use the ocean tides to attack the Spirit Island, which has the most cultivators.

a few days later.

A notice was posted at Feilong Island Market.

All the mansions in the market have had their prices reduced to half of their original price.

The rent for the sacred fields and sacred lakes will be reduced by another 30%.

Newly arrived monks from outside the island will have their rent for three months waived upon check-in.

In no time, the market town of Flying Dragon Island was bustling with independent cultivators arriving to stay.

In just two months, the number of cultivators increased by 50%, reaching more than 3,000.

The mansions in Feilong Island Market were completely sold out.

Some people started renting out their properties and becoming subletters.

There were also some male and female cultivators who, without any official status, shared a room to save on spirit stones.

"Spirit stones are the Achilles' heel of low-level cultivators!"

Shen Xuan mentally complained.

half a month later.

Chu Duanlang came to see Shen Xuan.

He bluntly stated that the ocean tides were showing signs of erupting.

Can you determine the timing of the high tides?

"Island Lord, sixty years ago, I, Chu, experienced a great ocean tide on Spirit Sword Island," Chu Duanlang said eloquently.

Back then, he had just laid the foundation for his path.

I witnessed firsthand the battle between Master Zhao of the Divine Sword Sect and the third-tier water demon.

"So, the demon king behind the last great tidal wave was a dragon that wielded lightning?"

"That's true."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, his expression calm.

I dare not speak of the others.

Shen Xuan was fully confident in dealing with lightning-attribute monsters.

"The island lord should request support from the sect as soon as possible. This demon is incredibly powerful; it is not only skilled in lightning magic, but its water and wind magic should not be underestimated either."

"Physical strength is something I have never seen in my life."

A look of worry appeared on Chu Duanlang's face.

He had just calmed down and was now clinging to Shen Xuan's coattails.

High salary, high status, and easy work.

"understood."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

He glanced at Shen Xuan, hesitated, and finally could only sigh in his heart.

As a worshipper, this is all he can do.

To continue would be rather tactless.

"In that case, I'd better prepare as soon as possible."

"No matter what, we must save our lives."

Chu Duanlang thought to himself.

……

Two more days passed.

Xiao Changbing came to visit.

"Xiao came here today because he discovered that the water monsters in the vicinity are showing signs of migrating into Flying Dragon Island."

"Oh?"

Shen Xuan stared at Xiao Changbing.

“I asked Chu Duanlang, and he concluded that a great tidal wave was about to arrive.”

"Calculating the time, it's almost time."

Xiao Changbing's expression was solemn: "Island Lord, this matter is of great importance, and we must make preparations as soon as possible."

"What does Senior Brother Xiao think is the best way to prepare?"

Xiao Changbing admitted that, according to records from nearby islands, they were almost unable to withstand attacks from sea monsters during the high tides.

The best solution would be to invite a sect master to guard the island.

"The other water demons are fine. However, the recent high tides on Flying Dragon Island have been caused by a dragon stirring up trouble behind the scenes."

A major tidal wave occurs once every sixty years.

The nearby islands will be attacked by water monsters, which will wreak havoc on the entire island.

No wonder the major sects don't pay much attention to island development.

How can a business develop if people don't even feel safe about their own lives?

Even the True Core Immortal was no match for the Sea Demon King.

Only a Golden Core cultivator residing permanently on the island can prevent the sea demon king from wreaking havoc.

What kind of status does a Golden Core cultivator have? He's busy with countless affairs of state; how could he possibly have time to stay on an island for an extended period?

Besides, the spiritual veins of the island do not meet the requirements of a Golden Core cultivator's Daoist temple.

"Our Flying Dragon Island is located at the very forefront of the great tides!"

Whenever a major tidal wave occurs, the islands and territories of the major sects, such as Flying Dragon Island, Spirit Sword Island, White Crane Island, and Flying Phoenix Island, become the primary targets of the water demons' attacks.

Of course, a crisis is a danger that hides an opportunity.

Many cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining joined forces to come to the island to hunt down second-tier water demons that came ashore, obtain demon cores, and thus obtain Foundation Establishment Pills to try to establish their Dao foundation.

"However, sixty years ago, the Azure Nether True Person of the Divine Sword Sect came to Spirit Sword Island, waiting in ambush, intending to slay the dragon with his flying sword, but..."

Xiao Changbing sighed.

Shen Xuan remained calm.

He's just a sword cultivator.

Its reputation is indeed impressive, and it sounds better than that of an ordinary person.

Their actual combat ability is not necessarily stronger than that of other real people.

Most sword cultivators are strong in attack but weak in defense.

If a fatal blow cannot be delivered in one strike, the longer the battle lasts, the more dangerous it becomes.

"A few days later, Spirit Sword Island will invite the island lords of nearby islands to discuss how to resist the great ocean tide. What do you think..."

"Just go."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"Let's hear what they have to say."

"As for the ocean tide, there's no need to worry; I already have a plan to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changbing was overjoyed.

"But is Master Hanyu willing to come and help?"

It's very difficult to persuade a Golden Core cultivator from a sect to come.

However, Master Shen's master, True Man Hanyu, had already proven his combat prowess through numerous battles, making him comparable to a Golden Core True Man.

Shen Xuan smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Changbing immediately relaxed.

With the arrival of Master Hanyu, Flying Dragon Island can rest easy.

Soon, rumors began to circulate on Flying Dragon Island.

The island lord Shen Xuan's master is the renowned Cold Jade True Man of the Qingyun Sect, a genius in ice magic, whose combat strength is comparable to that of a Golden Core True Man.

During this great tidal wave, Master Hanyu personally visited Flying Dragon Island to help his direct disciples guard the island.

Rumors spread extremely quickly.

Soon, the news spread throughout the nearby islands.

The independent cultivators from several major sect islands, such as Lingjian Island, Baihe Island, and Feifeng Island, flocked to Feilong Island for refuge.

In an instant, the prices of various cultivation resources in Flying Dragon Island market skyrocketed.

The residences of cultivators, in particular, were the subject of intense speculation.

Many Qi Refining Perfection cultivators from the nearby seas came to visit.

They recognized Flying Dragon Island as their opportunity to build their foundation.

In fact, when the tide rises, the nearby islands are attacked by water monsters.

Even ordinary water demons, even those of the second-tier best quality, can limit their destructive power over the islands.

After all, with their physical strength alone, it would be difficult for them to break through the islands' protective formations.

However, this is different for a third-tier demon king.

It truly broke through the island's protective formation, leading a group of water demons to the island to hunt down cultivators and mortals.

Now, these rogue cultivators have heard rumors that Flying Dragon Island has a powerful Golden Core cultivator on its side, personally guarding the island, making it the safest place.

Even if we can't kill that dragon.

They can also use the island-protecting formation to defend the island.

In this way, the great ocean tide is actually a rare opportunity for these Qi Refining cultivators who are desperately seeking Foundation Establishment Pills.

However, they didn't know that.

Master Hanyu would never come to Flying Dragon Island.

It was all just a beautiful misunderstanding.
