Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 211 Staying Overnight on White Sand Island

Faced with this maritime overlord, Li Yunjing and his companion didn't even dare to engage in battle.

Upon seeing the octopus-like monster swimming towards them from afar, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi had only one thought: to get as far away from it as possible!

Fortunately, this octopus monster didn't seem to have any thoughts about the fact that everyone was a sea creature, united against the human race.

Along the way, this overlord rampaged, slaughtering any monster that was not of its own kind.

Even several second-tier sharks were tightly bound by the tentacles of this octopus monster, unable to struggle.

Finally, he was strangled to death, and his body was stuffed into the mouth of a huge and powerful tentacle and swallowed.

This scene terrified the sea creatures of all races, who all fled from this terrifying monster.

Unwittingly, this helped Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi out of a predicament.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi raced for their lives and finally swam out of the red, rocky sea and into the normal ocean.

Having escaped the sea where fierce battles were constantly erupting and gotten rid of many monsters, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was really close.

The danger of the sea kept Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi on edge, and they dared not relax for a moment.

Whether it's cultivators, demonic beasts, or the natural environment of the sea, all pose a deadly threat.

Now everything is alright; we've finally escaped the most dangerous place.

With their mood relaxed, Yu Yunyi and Li Yunjing looked at each other and smiled. Like fish, they rose and fell in the azure ocean, continuing to swim northward.

This time, the two slowed down considerably.

The two stretched their bodies and swam slowly in the sea, recovering their magical power to ensure they could return to their peak condition as soon as possible.

Without peak combat power, Li Yunjing felt a little panicked, as he was used to always being at his peak.

In the ocean, water is everywhere, and the sea and sky blend into one color, making it impossible to distinguish east from west or north from south.

Without the guidance of the stars at night, a normal person would definitely get lost in the vast ocean.

Experts like Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, with their excellent sense of direction, were not affected and continued northward along the optimal route.

Li Yunjing possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the energy feedback in his sea of ​​consciousness caused his Five Elements Spiritual Roots to change again, all of them advancing to the level of top-grade spiritual roots.

Now, having entered the sea and come into close contact with the water, he found joy amidst the hardship, attempting to communicate with the water element and cultivating water-based techniques in this vast ocean.

Yu Yunyi also possesses a top-grade water elemental root, allowing her to thrive in the sea just like Li Yunjing, absorbing the water elemental energy within the ocean in a relatively safe environment.

In a place like the South China Sea, the benefits for water-attribute cultivators are even greater than those from cultivating with the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

The body is nourished by water-attribute spiritual energy everywhere, especially the water-attribute energy which spreads into the internal organs, which is extremely beneficial to cultivators with water-attribute spiritual roots.

Li Yunjing has already established his foundation, so he doesn't have high requirements for this kind of energy. He just wants to better understand nature and comprehend supernatural powers in the sea.

Compared to the benefits Li Yunjing received, the benefits Yu Yunyi received were more obvious.

The rich water-attribute spiritual energy spread throughout Yu Yunyi's body, stimulating the potential of all her organs, meridians, flesh, and bones, and enhancing her physical strength.

The water flowed around Yu Yunyi, feeling very intimate. Water is the source of all things, and Yu Yunyi's life potential has also increased significantly.

Her body was glistening with moisture, radiating a rich life force.

Sensing the change in Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing smiled slightly, revealing a look of satisfaction.

Perhaps in a month or two, Yu Yunyi will be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and the sea became almost one, moving through the water without making a sound. Even their breaths blended with the seawater.

Within someone else's consciousness, it is like flowing seawater, without any movement.

Unless you're an expert, you wouldn't be able to sense that there are two people drifting in the sea.

As the night passed and the endless darkness vanished, the sun rose, and the outline of land appeared before Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

The morning light shone on the coastline, making it look like a long, narrow golden dragon shimmering with brilliance.

That's the coastline of "White Sand Island".

"Finally back on 'White Sand Island'!"

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were overjoyed, both feeling as if they had survived a disaster.

The two took off from the sea and shot away, arriving at "White Sand Island" in just a few dozen breaths.

Upon reaching the beach of "White Sand Island," the two were enveloped in intense magical energy, which emitted plumes of white smoke that dispelled the water stains on their bodies.

The two used a "cleansing talisman" to tidy themselves up, regaining their energetic state and no longer looking as disheveled as before.

The two first strolled around the island before entering the market area.

At this time, the market was different from before; it seemed deserted, making the entire "White Sand Island" appear very empty.

Even when they occasionally encountered some cultivators, they could see the solemnity on their faces.

Everyone seemed incredibly tense and worried.

"It seems the news has spread!"

Without even asking, Li Yunjing knew what was going on.

A momentous event has occurred in the "Strange Rock Sea".

The message was sent back to "White Sand Island," and it would be strange if the people on the island didn't react.

They found a restaurant and sat on the second floor. Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi found a window seat, opened the window, and looked down at the sparse street and few pedestrians below, feeling lost and forlorn.

The restaurant staff confirmed Li Yunjing's guess by asking them.

Some of the families, sects, and independent cultivators who had previously fled back have already returned.

The story of "Guantao Haige" had long been known throughout the island.

The news was spreading like wildfire, a mix of truth and falsehood. No one knew exactly how many people had died in their own sect or family, or what their identities were.

Currently, everyone is extremely nervous as the masters from various schools and families have yet to return.

Major sects and families have consolidated their power, focusing their efforts on their families, sects, and some important industries.

There were almost no cultivators active around in any sect, school, or household.

Even on ordinary days, some of the privileged kids don't go out for walks or leisure.

As for the deaths of thousands of independent cultivators, the impact was enormous. Many people knew that a storm was brewing, and one by one they either left "White Sand Island" or chose to keep a low profile, find a place to live, and wait for the subsequent changes.

The atmosphere on the island was heavy; the market area, where the independent cultivators had set up their stalls, was deserted.

Even some small and medium-sized shops have closed down. Apart from a few well-known shops that can open during this special time, no one else has the guts to do so.

Whenever unrest breaks out, there will always be plenty of people taking advantage of the chaos to loot.

Without order, the wealthy areas of "White Sand Island" naturally became targets for looting by ordinary rogue cultivators.

There are probably some daring people secretly organizing their own men, ready to pull off a big heist as soon as chaos erupts on "White Sand Island"!
As a result, the restaurant's business was also very poor.

The spacious second floor of the restaurant was completely empty, except for Li Yunjing's table by the window. The restaurant itself felt deserted and desolate. "White Sand Island is truly deserted today!"

After tasting the dishes at the restaurant, Yu Yunyi found them to be extremely delicious.

It wasn't that she did anything particularly well, but rather that experiencing this dangerous period made her realize how wonderful life on land truly was.

"As soon as the subsequent cultivators return, 'White Sand Island' will immediately undergo a reshuffle."

"However, this matter has nothing to do with us. After resting for a day, we will leave here and return to 'Wanghai City'."

Li Yunjing picked up a glass of wine, drank it with Yu Yunyi, and sighed.

"Yes! It's good to leave this chaotic place sooner rather than later."

Yu Yunyi also smiled and drank a glass with Li Yunjing.

This wine is excellent, very mellow, and its rich aroma permeates the entire second floor.

"This time, it was really close! I never expected that the 'Azure Cloud Boat' would be destroyed too, sigh!"

Yu Yunyi sighed. A treasure worth millions of spirit stones!
It’s just gone!
Yu Yunyi was heartbroken, but thankfully she and Li Yunjing were both safe and sound, which made her feel a little better.

"We've had quite a haul this time! Once we get back to the sect, we'll head straight to the 'Heavenly Craft Hall' and get another 'Azure Cloud Boat'! And it has to be the improved version! The best of the best!"

Li Yunjing quickly offered words of comfort.

Li Yunjing bears a great deal of responsibility for the destruction of the "Qingyun Boat," but fortunately, he didn't make a losing deal this time.

Their gains were enough to make up for the loss of many treasures.

Li Yunjing should naturally compensate Yu Yunyi for her losses double!
"We finally managed to get some resources after risking our lives, so let's spend them sparingly!"

Hearing Li Yunjing's words, Yu Yunyi felt a warmth in her heart, and her gaze towards Li Yunjing was tender and gentle.

However, Yu Yunyi still rejected Li Yunjing's suggestion.

Since becoming Daoist partners with Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi has been very considerate of him.

They were unwilling to deplete Li Yunjing's resources, as this would affect his own cultivation.

The two earned a lot of resources, but their expenses were enormous.

There are too many places where expenses need to be paid.

The Qingyun Boat is expensive to build, and the enhanced version is even more expensive!

If Yu Yunyi were to squander all of Li Yunjing's resources on the "Qingyun Boat," that would not have been her original intention.

"It has to be the best! Think about it, this money is well spent! If it weren't for the 'Azure Cloud Boat,' we would have been dead long ago!"

Understanding Yu Yunyi's thoughts, Li Yunjing smiled lightly.

His tone was gentle, but incredibly firm.

Li Yunjing made the decision on this matter.

Unchangeable!

"All right!"

Sensing Li Yunjing's determination, Yu Yunyi smiled and agreed.

Because of this, Yu Yunyi was unwilling to refuse Li Yunjing's good intentions.

After enjoying a delicious meal, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi booked a room in the back of the restaurant to rest for the night.

Upon entering the room, a large sandalwood bed with carved flowers was placed in the corner, and in the middle of the room, there was an eight-immortal table and a simple dressing table.

Apart from that, there were no other arrangements.

Yu Yunyi was a little tired, mainly from the fatigue caused by mental stress.

The series of battles kept her on edge.

Now that she had a chance to relax, Yu Yunyi naturally took off her coat and skirt, boldly showing off her curvaceous figure in front of Li Yunjing.

"Come on in too! Don't meditate today!"

Yu Yunyi's eyes seemed to be about to overflow with tears, and her voice was sweet with a touch of magnetic huskiness.

It is full of ambiguous charm.

After saying this, Yu Yunyi, wearing only a close-fitting undergarment, took out her mattress and quilt from her "storage ring" and made the bed.

Li Yunjing saw Yu Yunyi gently lift her jade-like foot, step onto the edge of the bed, and then slip into the quilt.

"Gudu!"

Li Yunjing swallowed hard, feeling his mouth dry.

Especially in this small room, the unique fragrance of Yu Yunyi was even more stimulating to his senses.

Li Yunjing found that his resistance to Yunyi seemed to be weakening.

"Hurry up and get on!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's somewhat uneasy appearance, Yu Yunyi chuckled, stretched out her ivory-white, lustrous arm from under the covers, and waved to Li Yunjing.

"This is terrible! Well, since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it!"

Li Yunjing's mind went blank, and his body temperature soared, feeling like he was in a furnace.

He quickly stripped off his clothes and slipped into bed like an eel.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Yu Yunyi's luggage, Li Yunjing hugged Yu Yunyi tightly, thinking, "I don't want to think about anything else! I don't care anymore!"

That night, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi huddled close together. Yu Yunyi had long since collapsed onto Li Yunjing, her breathing even, fast asleep...

The "Mysterious Enlightenment Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique," which he obtained from Feng Xueting, was also explained in detail by Li Yunjing and passed on to Yu Yunyi.

Yu Yunyi was very smart and learned very quickly. She went from being unfamiliar with the skill to becoming familiar with it, and then to mastering it. After only a few experiments, she successfully used the divine skill.

That night, Li Yunjing taught the knowledge of "Mysterious Awakening Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique" and felt refreshed and energetic, without feeling tired at all.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, one teaching and the other learning, not only did not feel tired, but also relieved their tension from the past few days through learning.

In particular, the "Mysterious Enlightenment Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique" is really good, and it is of great benefit to both Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

The unity of Yin and Yang, together proving the Great Dao, and comprehending the ultimate principles of human relations—this is the Way of Heaven.

After a night of dual cultivation, Yu Yunyi finally succumbed to her weakness and fell into a deep sleep around midnight.

Li Yunjing had more energy than usual. He looked at Yu Yunyi's delicate body again, thought for a moment, and decided not to bother her. Instead, he dressed, covered Yu Yunyi with a blanket, and quietly pushed open the door to go out. He stood in the courtyard and looked at the stars and the bright moon.

Whether it's experience, physique, or realm of understanding, Li Yunjing really wanted to vent his desires, and Yu Yunyi simply couldn't hold back.

Li Yunjing naturally couldn't torment the beauty to death just for his own desires.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Yunjing drew in all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, drawing it into his body with each breath.
