Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 401 Removing the Fire from Underground (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Li Yunjing meditated in the sea for a while, feeling his vital energy gradually recovering, and his injuries healing rapidly under the effect of the healing medicine.

Only then did he have time to observe the surrounding situation.

However, Li Yunjing was not in a hurry to go to "Holy Sound Island" to continue fighting against the monsters' attacks.

Whether the formation of "Holy Sound Island" can withstand the fierce attack of the sea creatures remains to be seen.

If the formation is broken, the sea creatures will advance unimpeded and completely destroy the foundation of the "Holy Sound Cult".

If the formation can hold out until the sea creatures are exhausted, then the "Holy Sound Sect" can achieve a great victory and gain the greatest benefits.

Li Yunjing won't gain much from this battle.

“All the major sea creatures have appeared here, and their numbers are increasing. There are even hundreds of third-tier demon kings. Perhaps the fourth-tier demon kings will also make their move.”

Li Yunjing thought to himself, "Is the monster's lair somewhat empty? If I head straight for the monster's lair, will I get more rewards?"

The thought ignited a burning passion in Li Yunjing's heart.

With that thought in mind, Li Yunjing took out a crystal-clear pill from his storage ring and swallowed it without hesitation.

The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a powerful energy that surged into his limbs and bones.

His aura surged instantly, and the vital energy within his body rapidly recovered to its peak state, even stronger than before.

"it's time!"

A sharp glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and with a swift movement, he rushed off in the opposite direction like a swimming fish!
Having been in the sea area for so long, and with the "Tianluo Dao Sect" even providing him with a sea chart, Li Yunjing has gained a deep understanding of the East China Sea's topography.

He also knew where the sea creatures attacking the "Holy Sound Cult" territory came from.

Li Yunjing planned to take advantage of this opportunity to venture into the lion's den and see what kind of treasures these sea creatures had accumulated!

It's important to understand that the sea creatures are a vast, united group.

Every ethnic group has its own history of civilization.

These sea creatures also possess inherited supernatural abilities and methods of cultivation.

Intelligent groups can distinguish what are rare and precious materials, and what are beneficial for spiritual practice.

There are also spiritual veins on the seabed, far more than on the islands of the East China Sea.

With spiritual veins, many good things can be born.

Li Yunjing ventured into the deep sea this time specifically for these treasures!

Now that your army has been mobilized and your interior is empty, Li Yunjing is afraid that if you don't plunder the wealth at this time, he will regret it to the point of heartache one day!
However, it seems that it will not be easy to get out of the encirclement of the sea creatures and reach their rear.

As he traversed near the seabed, Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat. He turned around abruptly and saw a massive sea serpent king, leading a swarm of sea serpents, rapidly approaching him.

This demon king possessed a powerful aura, even stronger than the two that Li Yunjing had killed.

The Sea Serpent King is at least a powerful being in the late Golden Core stage!
This kind of powerful opponent is beyond Li Yunjing's ability to defeat on his own.

"Another one comes to die!"

Li Yunjing showed no fear. He sneered and drew his long sword instantly. The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" shone with seven-colored sword light and pointed directly at the demon king.

Before the Sea Serpent King could resist, Li Yunjing waved his hand repeatedly, and the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" array plate flew out, quickly forming an array nearby and enveloping these sea creatures within it.

A chance to make a fortune has arrived!

Li Yunjing then became generous.

Once the formation was successfully set up, Li Yunjing immediately threw in a third-tier "Divine Firmament Thunderbolt"!
"Boom! Boom!"

After the "Divine Thunderbolt" exploded, the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" also exploded, continuously bombarding out the "Geng Metal Divine Thunder", "Bing Fire Divine Thunder", "Yi Wood Divine Thunder", "Gui Water Divine Thunder" and "Xu Earth Divine Thunder".

Li Yunjing, who doesn't care about gains or losses, is someone even he himself is afraid of!
In an instant, the formation was filled with blinding lightning.

Apart from the Sea Serpent King, all the sea serpents trapped in the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" were blown to pieces!
"Shameless brat!"

The Sea Serpent King clearly hadn't anticipated Li Yunjing's ruthless methods, and in his haste, he could only barely protect his vital parts.

Even so, the sea serpent king still bore terrifying wounds.

Its scales were almost all blown off, and its huge body was covered with deep wounds that exposed the bone.

"You beast! You dare to chase me!"

With time running out, Li Yunjing did not hesitate and appeared above the Sea Serpent King's head. Amidst the continuous explosions of divine lightning around him, his "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" stabbed fiercely towards the Sea Serpent King's head.

"Hiss..."

The Sea Serpent King, in pain, let out an angry roar and violently twisted its body, trying to throw Li Yunjing off its head.

Faced with the Sea Serpent King's counterattack, Li Yunjing's offensive became even more ferocious.

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword was firmly embedded in the head of the Sea Serpent King, and no matter how much the demon king struggled, it was difficult to shake him off.

"The Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror!"

Li Yunjing had no time to spare, so he slowly wore down the Sea Serpent King until the precious "Yin-Yang Mirror" came out of his mouth.

With just one ray of light, the black light reappeared, and the power of death, following the Sea Serpent King's wound, shone into its brain.

"what……"

The Sea Serpent King let out a miserable cry, and its breath gradually weakened.

Before long, under the explosion of lightning, the Sea Serpent King's injuries worsened, and his blood stained the space of the "Five Elements Divine Lightning Demon-Slaying Array" crimson.

Half an hour later, the Sea Serpent King let out a roar of unwilling anger, and its huge body crashed down, splashing up towering waves.

"I paid a huge price to kill you!"

Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief, quickly dismembered the demon king's corpse, then sheathed his longsword and continued swimming towards the deep sea.

Along the way, they encountered obstacles from various sea tribes on several occasions.

Li Yunjing was like a sharp sword, cutting down everything and instantly tearing through the sea tribe's defenses.

With each attack, several demonic beasts fell.

In his haste to get on the road, Li Yunjing didn't even have time to collect the corpses.

As long as it's not a demon king, Li Yunjing won't stop there!
The battle to break through the beast tide's blockade lasted for a full day and night. In the end, after paying a heavy price, the sea creatures had no choice but to retreat.

Li Yunjing broke through the encirclement and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Escaping the pursuit of the sea tribe's army was just the beginning, and Li Yunjing felt no sense of relief.

"According to the nautical chart, there is an island belonging to the demon race ahead."

Li Yunjing clenched his fist, a determined glint in his eyes.

This is the best place for him to test his ideas!
That place is a supreme demon kingdom of the demon race.

Cancerian Demon Clan!

Cancer Island!
Within the Cancer Demon Kingdom, there is not a single race.

The Cancer King harbors great ambitions; any intelligent demon can become a subject of the Cancer Clan.

In this demon kingdom, the currency used for trade is spirit stones.

Spirit stones are the currency that circulates among races capable of cultivation.

However, the development of the Cancer demon race was only in its early stages of civilization, and compared to human civilization, it was not even comparable to the worst barbarian civilization.

"Good heavens! These crabs are sentient!"

Upon arriving at "Cancer Island," Li Yunjing immediately sensed the presence of civilization.

When he arrived here, he used his divine sense to scan the area and discovered "Cancer Island," where the defenses had become much lax.

Sparsely scattered everywhere.

This is clearly due to the large-scale troop movement, leaving the interior vulnerable.

Li Yunjing infiltrated "Crab Island" and constantly sensed the surrounding environment.

The island is teeming with all sorts of strange demons, some of whom have even taken on human bodies but have heads that resemble their original forms, making them look extremely bizarre.

There are at least 80,000 to 100,000 demons on the island.

Li Yunjing would naturally not choose to massacre the island; how could he possibly kill so many demons by himself?

After concealing his presence on the island, Li Yunjing observed the area and arrived at the center of the island.

This place is guarded by many giant scorpion people!

A vast, continuous palace complex appeared before his eyes, leaving Li Yunjing somewhat bewildered.

Could it be that the monsters of the Cancer demon race have already begun living in magnificent palaces? Were these palaces stolen, or were they built by the Cancer demon race?

After sensing the surrounding atmosphere, Li Yunjing stopped guessing and summoned the "Blood Demon Seal," smashing it towards the palace in mid-air.

"Boom!"

These were all ordinary palaces, but when the third-tier magical artifact struck them, many of them collapsed, and countless giant crab people flew out from within.

There were hundreds or even thousands of giant crab demons.

Upon closer inspection, Li Yunjing confirmed that a surge of spiritual energy was emanating from one of the collapsed palaces, indicating that it was a good place.

Beneath the collapsed palace, spiritual energy swirled, air currents swirled, and a fierce wind howled. In the crevices of the rocks, a faint light shone, revealing many precious treasures within.

A surge of spiritual energy emanated from the ruins, resembling the undulating bodies of countless dragons.

One look and you know it's a treasure trove!
"Great! This is the treasure trove of the Cancer Demon Clan! It's come to us without any effort at all!"

Ignoring the surrounding monsters, Li Yunjing looked at Baoshan and shouted, his teeth chattering as if he was gritting his teeth in surprise.

What is most important for a cultivator?
These are the treasures!
The treasures of a clan are almost comparable to those of a sect founded by a Golden Core Realm ancestor!

With these treasures, Li Yunjing is set for life!

A glint of greed flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and he was overjoyed.

The treasure trove of the Cancer Demon Clan is right before his eyes. As long as he can take these treasures into his possession, his strength will surely increase by leaps and bounds, and he may even break through his current realm!

Those giant crab clansmen who had been blasted away by the "Blood Demon Seal" had already reacted and were roaring as they rushed towards Li Yunjing.

Hundreds upon hundreds of second-tier demonic beasts, though not individually very strong, were so numerous that even Li Yunjing dared not be careless.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants, daring to block my way!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly and summoned the "Blood Demon Seal" in his hand once again. The blood-red light shone brightly, transforming into a huge blood-red palm print, which slammed down fiercely towards the giant crab demons who were rushing towards him.

"boom!"

The crimson palm print fell, instantly turning dozens of giant crab demons into a bloody pulp, splattering blood everywhere and staining the ground red.

However, even more Cancer monsters continued to charge forward fearlessly, seemingly endless.

This is the main base of the Cancer Demon Clan!
It is a treasure trove for the entire tribe!

We must never allow ourselves to be plundered by the humans before us!

"Damn it!"

Li Yunjing frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Although these demonic beasts are not strong, there are too many of them. If I get entangled with them, it will probably delay my time to retrieve the treasure!"

"The longer the night, the more dreams there are!"

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, and in a flash, he rushed directly towards the ruins of the collapsed palace.

"Bang bang bang..."

Li Yunjing was extremely fast, and with his hard divine body, even those giant scorpion clans, protected by armor, were no match for him!
Like a bolt of lightning, Li Yunjing instantly killed many members of the Giant Crab Clan, passed directly through the encirclement of the Giant Crab Demon Clan, and arrived at the ruins.

The entrance to the treasure vault had been buried under the ruins, which posed no challenge for Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing's aura changed, transforming into that of an earth-elemental cultivator. With a "ground-遁术" (earth-遁术), he broke through the boulders and entered the underground.

"It's really here!"

Underground, the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost liquid. Li Yunjing continued downwards and soon arrived at the core area of ​​the treasure vault.

This place is filled with all sorts of rare medicinal herbs, ores, magical treasures, and even some ancient books and cultivation techniques.

Li Yunjing was dazzled by the sight and overjoyed.

"Hahaha, I really made a lot of money this time!"

Li Yunjing laughed loudly and began to store these treasures into his "storage ring" without hesitation.

The storage rings were filled in no time, then the second and the third, and all the storage rings were filled!
There's so much stuff here!

Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and even extremely rare Tier 4 materials!

Just when Li Yunjing was worried that he wouldn't have enough storage magic items, he actually found a "storage gourd" in the ruins!
This thing is amazing!
It's a fourth-tier treasure!
A treasure that can hold hundreds of "storage rings"!

"Good stuff!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed. With this gourd, he no longer had to worry about not being able to store all the treasures of the giant crab demon clan.

Just as Li Yunjing was frantically collecting treasures, a loud "boom" resounded, and the ruins and countless boulders were all sent flying.

The Cancer Demon Clan cleared away the palace ruins above the treasure vault in a very short time!
"Human! How dare you attack the great Cancer clan! And steal the Cancer clan's wealth!"

A deep and majestic voice came from outside, and a huge figure slowly descended.

It was a gigantic crab demon, covered in a thick shell, with two huge pincers gleaming with a cold light. It was clearly a third-tier demon beast, with strength comparable to a Golden Core cultivator!
On "Cancer Island," the Cancer clan still left behind strong individuals to guard the island.

Not all the masters went to fight against the "Holy Sound Cult".

"I never expected that your Cancer clan would still have a master like you!"

Li Yunjing's heart sank. It probably wasn't that bad, but it had wasted his precious time!

Li Yunjing was ambitious and had no intention of stopping after raiding a sea creature's habitat!

He would have to plunder the various sea creatures at least ruthlessly to gather enough for his cultivation for a period of time.

"kill!"

Li Yunjing sneered, and with a flick of his "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," "Five Elements Divine Thunder" and "Yin Yang Divine Thunder" rolled in, bombarding the Cancer King with countless lightning balls!

"Kid, you dare to resist!"

The Crab Demon King roared, and its huge pincers, carrying terrifying power, smashed towards Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing dodged the attack with a swift movement. The rolling ball of lightning exploded on the giant crab king's pincers, and a huge pincer fell to the ground.

"receive!"

This is a good thing. Li Yunjing shook the "Storage Gourd", and a suction force pulled the huge pliers, which were as big as a house, into the gourd and stored them.

"when……"

Having landed a successful blow, Li Yunjing unleashed the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," which collided with the giant crab king's carapace, producing a crisp sound.

The Cancer Demon King's shell was incredibly hard, and the massive shock sent Li Yunjing flying backward!
His sword strike failed to pierce the crab king's shell!

"interesting!"

Having missed his first attack, Li Yunjing immediately abandoned the Crab King and returned to the ruins to plunder the treasures on the ground.

"Attack together! Concentrate your firepower!"

Enraged, the Cancer King had no choice but to order the surrounding Cancer Clan members to join him in attacking Li Yunjing.

"Boom!"

Thousands of demons attacked simultaneously, their momentum terrifying. Li Yunjing dared not resist at all, and in a flash, he had already darted more than ten miles away.

At this point, he dared not continue to rob the Cancer clan of their treasures.

Near this palace, the island's monsters are constantly gathering, their numbers increasing to tens of thousands.

With so many demonic beasts attacking together, even if Li Yunjing had cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he wouldn't dare to fight them head-on!
Since we've already gained quite a bit of benefit, there's no need to keep risking our lives!

With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing decided to leave.

Just then, an even more powerful aura emanated from the depths of "Cancer Island" in the distance.

"The second demon king!"

Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine, thinking to himself, "Luckily, I had the idea of ​​escaping!"

"Human, you have broken into my clan's treasury, looted its treasures, and now you want to escape?"

The giant crab demon king roared and rushed over, its huge pincers clamping down on Li Yunjing with terrifying power.

"Let's see if you can catch up with me first!"

Li Yunjing calmly replied, then boarded the "Azure Cloud Boat," transforming into a streak of light and rushing out of "Crab Island."

The Cancer clan is slow-moving and is no match for the "Azure Cloud Boat". Li Yunjing felt no pressure to escape.

Before long, after flying two thousand miles, the aura behind them became increasingly faint, and the two third-tier demon kings simply couldn't catch up.

"Heh! These stupid demons!"

Li Yunjing checked his haul with some pride; these items were more than what he had obtained before.
