Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 403 The Cunning Old Wolf
"You despicable thief! You think you can get away? Not so easy!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King roared and its massive body, as large as a mountain, chased after them.

As the "Azure Cloud Boat" sped along, Li Yunjing took out one treasure after another from his "storage ring" and unhesitatingly threw them behind him.

"Boom!"

A large number of magical artifacts exploded, and the sky was filled with dazzling colors. The Rhinoceros Demon King's body couldn't help but pause for a moment before transforming into a stream of light and continuing its pursuit.

"Boy! These treasures are the spiritual artifacts of my 'Rhino Clan'!"

The rhinoceros demon king's face twitched as he roared angrily, his huge hooves stomping heavily on the white clouds as he continued his pursuit.

"thump……"

Seeing that it was flying in the air and was not as fast as its opponent, and that the distance was getting closer and closer, the "Qingyun Boat" shot downwards and plunged into the sea to continue its escape.

"You wretched human! So cunning! You think you're safe once you're in the sea? I'll tear you to pieces!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King followed closely behind and also entered the water.

As soon as the rhinoceros demon king entered the water, a transparent light shield appeared around its body, enveloping it. Based on Li Yunjing's aura, it continued its pursuit.

Meanwhile, the "Qingyun Boat" had already submerged into the sea.

He quickly found a secluded trench, put away the "Azure Cloud Boat," and used the "Earth Escape Technique" in conjunction with water-based supernatural abilities to hide in the sea and continue his journey.

"Although this trip was risky, it was very rewarding. As long as I get rid of this demon king who is at the half-Nascent Soul stage, I will be safe!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing had already figured out the extent of his opponent's abilities.

This demon king is extremely fast and has extremely high defense; it's impossible to damage it!
However, it cannot teleport!

This shows that the Rhinoceros Demon King's cultivation level is still a step short, and he has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
Since he can't teleport, Li Yunjing has a chance to escape!
Li Yunjing was truly terrified by what he just witnessed.

He almost thought he was going to die this time!

Fortunately, the information from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" was not too outdated. Although it did not specify that there was a half-step Nascent Soul Realm expert, it proved that there were no Nascent Soul Realm experts!

That was enough for Li Yunjing to find a way to get rid of the other party.

Although the sea may appear to be vast and boundless, in reality, every part of the sea is owned by someone.

Humans, sea creatures, and other races occupy the sky, islands, the seabed, and even the waters at various altitudes.

As long as Li Yunjing leaves the territory of the "Rhino Clan" and enters the territory of other forces, he will most likely get rid of the Rhino Demon King.

After all, no force can remain indifferent when it sees a murderous half-step Nascent Soul Realm demon king appear in their territory.

"If you flee five thousand miles to the east, you'll reach the territory of another powerful clan!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and then he vanished into the distance.

"Hmm? That damned human used the underwater environment to conceal his presence, making it difficult for me to locate him?"

After chasing for a while, the Rhinoceros Demon King's expression turned grim.

It detected Li Yunjing's presence ahead, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

This is due to the environment at the bottom of the sea.

There are undercurrents and abnormal air pressure on the seabed, and some areas have even formed vacuum zones, which isolate even the seawater.

In some of the deepest canyons on the seabed, even cultivators at the Golden Core stage cannot dive in; they would be crushed by the air pressure.

Li Yunjing was already under immense pressure at the bottom of the sea.

His location was already 20,000 leagues under the sea.

This place is so deep, so dark, and there are no living creatures here.

If it were a normal Foundation Establishment Stage 7 cultivator, they wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be blown apart by the air pressure!
Only someone like Li Yunjing, whose physical body had reached the half-step Golden Core realm, could slowly and persistently traverse the seabed.

"If we just hold on a little longer, we'll be able to enter the territory of the 'Mystic Tortoise Clan'!"

Li Yunjing silently recited the words in his heart, a resolute glint in his eyes.

The "Black Tortoise Clan" is another major force in the underwater world, and they have always been at odds with the "Rhinoceros Clan".

The reason is simple: the "Xuan-Turtle Clan" doesn't always stay at the bottom of the sea; they are also well-suited to living on land.

The Xuan Turtle Clan frequently engages in activities such as seizing islands.

The "Rhinoceros Clan" and the "Black Tortoise Clan" are neighbors, so it's easy to imagine that the two races have many conflicts over territory.

If the Rhinoceros Demon King were to rashly intrude into the territory of the "Xuan Turtle Clan," it would inevitably trigger a conflict between the two clans.

At that time, Li Yunjing will have a chance to escape in the chaos.

Clearly, it wasn't long before the Rhino Demon King realized this as well.

Although it had temporarily lost Li Yunjing's exact location, it was still able to vaguely detect Li Yunjing's aura thanks to its powerful perception at the half-step Nascent Soul realm.

Knowing that Li Yunjing's direction of movement indicated that it was the territory of the "Xuan Turtle Clan".

This enraged the Rhino Demon King to the extreme!
"Hmph! Damn humans, they're so cunning!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King snorted coldly, its massive body darting swiftly across the seabed, stirring up huge waves.

It moves extremely fast, even in the deep sea, it moves as if it were flat ground.

At this moment, the Rhinoceros Demon King no longer cared about revealing its aura. It had to kill Li Yunjing and retreat to Rhinoceros Island before the Xuan Turtle Clan could react.

"The most crucial moment has arrived!"

Li Yunjing felt a terrifying aura coming from behind him, and his heart tightened immediately.

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and threw out another magic weapon, detonating it.

This time, Li Yunjing bled!
This treasure is actually a third-tier magical artifact!

The magical artifact shot out and exploded on the seabed. Even the Rhinoceros Demon King had to use his supernatural powers to stop it.

"Too bad! We couldn't kill that bastard!"

However, Li Yunjing couldn't care less about that at this point.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill and immediately felt a surge of violent spiritual energy erupt within his body.

His speed increased several times in an instant, and he traversed the seabed like a bolt of lightning.

"Huh? The speed suddenly increased?"

The Rhinoceros Demon King had just blocked the explosion of the treasure and noticed Li Yunjing's change, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Water Release Technique!

"Earth Escape Technique!"

"Lightning Release Technique!"

Li Yunjing was risking his life, consuming pills without regard for cost, and constantly activating various escape techniques to flee at all costs.

Even the Rhinoceros Demon King was somewhat bewildered.

The human boy in front of me is incredibly fast; even a typical Golden Core Realm fourth-level cultivator might not be this fast!

What's up with this kid?
Is this some kind of reckless act, constantly activating the secret technique?
At this rate, how can we catch up with this kid?
Just as the Rhinoceros Demon King was giving chase with all his might, Li Yunjing finally entered the sea area of ​​the "Xuan Turtle Clan".

"Human, do you think you can escape me by fleeing here? Even the 'Black Tortoise Clan' cannot stop me!"

The rhinoceros demon king's voice echoed like thunder in the seabed, making Li Yunjing's eardrums ache.

"Wow! That's fast!"

Li Yunjing turned around and saw that the Rhinoceros Demon King's enormous body had appeared not far away, its eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

"Cough cough..."

Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the seabed: "Rhinoceros Demon King, you have crossed the line!"

As the sound faded, a gigantic figure slowly rose from the seabed.

It was a massive black tortoise, its shell covered with ancient runes, and its eyes, like two dazzling stars, radiated a powerful aura.

"Ancestor Xuan Turtle!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King's expression changed, clearly showing great fear of this Xuan Turtle.

"Rhinoceros Demon King, you have crossed the line!"

The Xuan Turtle Ancestor gave the Rhinoceros Demon King a cold look and slowly said, "This is the territory of my Xuan Turtle Clan. You have trespassed without permission. Do you intend to provoke a war between our two clans?"

"Humph!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King snorted coldly and said, "Ancestor Xuan Turtle, I am only here to hunt down a human and have no intention of offending your clan. As long as you hand over that human, I will leave immediately."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Turtle Ancestor turned his gaze to Li Yunjing, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunjing quickly traversed the area, fleeing deeper into the Xuan Turtle Clan. The Xuan Turtle Ancestor pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Since this person has entered my territory, he is an enemy of my clan. He offended you, so I will kill him for you! You can go back now!"

go back?

Go back my ass!

That human, Li Yunjing, plundered the treasure trove of their "Rhino Clan"!
With so much wealth, how could I possibly give it up?

If the "Xuan Turtle Clan" killed Li Yunjing, wouldn't that mean that the treasure of their "Rhino Clan" had fallen into the hands of the "Xuan Turtle Clan"?
Especially since Li Yunjing possesses a treasure of the Rhinoceros Clan!
"No! I must take this human with me! To accept the judgment of our 'Rhino Clan'! If you try to stop me, I will fight you to the death!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King's face was grim, and he did not back down in the slightest.

"Then let's fight! I admit I'm no match for you! But my 'Mysterious Tortoise Clan' still has four Golden Core Realm experts left behind. The five of us joining forces will take on you alone. I don't believe you can turn the world upside down!"

The Xuan Turtle Ancestor glanced at him indifferently and said slowly, "This concerns the dignity of my Xuan Turtle Clan, and I will absolutely not let you in!"

At this moment, the Xuan Turtle Ancestor had a question in his mind.

So what exactly did humans do?
We actually managed to lure that old man out!
It should be noted that the Rhinoceros Demon King did not even show his face during this beast tide, because he was focused on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Now, for the sake of a human, they've chased them all the way to the territory of the "Xuan Turtle Clan"?
Did the four brothers join forces to severely injure the Rhinoceros Demon King, thus extinguishing his hope of attaining the Nascent Soul realm?

As for Li Yunjing, this tiny human?
He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage!

Now that the Rhinoceros Demon King has been dealt with, we can hunt down Li Yunjing anytime!
The Xuan Turtle Ancestor had no idea that Li Yunjing had escaped from "Rhino Island" and had been competing with the Rhino Demon King in speed from the very beginning. It thought that Li Yunjing had been running for a long time before the Rhino Demon King discovered him and came to chase after him!

This misjudgment allowed Li Yunjing to quickly escape from the Xuan Turtle Ancestor's spiritual sense range.

"Then do it!"

The Rhinoceros Demon King was furious and immediately attacked the Xuan Turtle Ancestor.

The huge fluctuations were felt even by Li Yunjing, who had escaped hundreds of miles away.

"Great!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed and immediately concealed his presence, continuing his escape.

Now, Li Yunjing has only one goal: to break away from the territory of the "Xuan Turtle Clan," find another sea area, and completely get rid of the two major clans!
Three days later, Li Yunjing was finally out of danger.

They entered a new sea area. On several islands in this sea area, there were many demonic beasts. Li Yunjing went ashore and killed one demonic beast after another, of all kinds.

"Damn it! This is a sea inhabited by demons! Demons are everywhere, but no humans live here! It's going to be so hard for me to get out of here!"

Li Yunjing's face was covered in frost, and he held the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" in his hand, the tip of the sword dripping blood continuously. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

If it weren't for the fact that a batch of storage-type magical treasures were looted during the raid on "Rhino Island".

He had no way to collect the loot.

At this moment, because of his constant escape, Li Yunjing was filled with anger, which he could only vent on these demonic beasts.

In the end, Li Yunjing became almost numb from the slaughter, and could only mechanically swing his arms, unleashing streaks of sword light.

At this moment, the island is littered with corpses, covered in blood, with broken horns, scales, claws, heads, and internal organs—all belonging to various demonic beasts!
"Ouch..."

Just as Li Yunjing was about to take a rest, the sound of wolves howling came from nearby.

A large number of giant wolves appeared around him. Each wolf was over ten feet tall, and each wolf had long brown fur that looked like sharp swords.

The auras of these giant wolves were all at least at the second rank, with the leader even exuding the aura of the third rank.

"Human? How could you possibly be on 'Island of Ten Thousand Demons'?"

The giant wolf seemed incredulous that a human had appeared deep within the demon realm!
This is so strange!

"'Ten Thousand Demon Island'? Isn't this 'Golden Ape Island'?"

Li Yunjing was a little confused. Why was this different from what was recorded?

Could it be that these useless people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" have made another mistake?

At this moment, Li Yunjing felt a pang of regret.

Did he place too much trust in the strength of the "Tianluo Dao Sect"?
The Tianluo Dao Sect has misremembered the strength of "Rhino Island"; how could they have misremembered such a large island?
Not only do the names not match!

There isn't a single golden ape yet!
Could this be "Golden Monkey Island"?

"Hmm? What an ancient name! This place was renamed a thousand years ago! The former 'Golden Ape Clan' has long been wiped out."

The giant wolf was taken aback, and then began to explain.

"Really? You're a third-tier demon king, exceptionally intelligent, and you want to deal with me too? I'm just passing through, resupplying, and leaving immediately!"

Li Yunjing had had enough of fighting and had proposed peace talks.

"Hehe! Human, I'm very curious. This is already the heartland of the demon race. How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like you be here?"

The giant wolf king's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he continued to probe.

Li Yunjing wanted to know what was going on here, and the Giant Wolf King was equally curious about what was happening outside!
"Hehe! You want to know about what's happening outside?"

Li Yunjing's eyes darted around, and he immediately understood the giant wolf king's thoughts.

His intelligence level naturally far surpasses that of the old wolf.

“Of course! The East Sea is boundless, and we, the ‘Giant Wolf Clan,’ are not willing to remain confined to this island teeming with myriad races! I hope to find an island that belongs to our ‘Giant Wolf Clan’ so that our children can thrive and multiply.”

The giant wolf king sighed softly and expressed his thoughts.

"A great idea!"

Li Yun nodded, "It's good that we can communicate!"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment and said, "I have a nautical chart of the area. What can you offer me in exchange? As for you wanting to kill me? That's impossible!"

Li Yunjing shared his thoughts.

"Alright! Human, rest assured! Solving problems with force is the last resort! I've already assessed your combat strength. Even if the entire 'Giant Wolf Clan' were to attack and kill you, they would still suffer heavy losses in the end!"

The giant wolf king nodded, and a slight smile appeared on its wolf face.

"Tsk tsk..."

Li Yunjing curiously sized up the other party a few times; this was the first time he had ever felt that he could communicate with a different race.

This is really interesting!

“Very good! Giant Wolf King, your idea forms the basis for our cooperation. I am very willing to cooperate with you, but I would like to know what I can gain from it?”

Li Yunjing asked with a smile.

"You always get what you put in!"

The Giant Wolf King laughed and continued, "This mountain range is the territory of our 'Giant Wolf Clan,' and we guard a divine tree here! Every thousand years, that divine tree bears ten 'Crimson Sun Fruits,' and I'm willing to give one to you in exchange for a sea chart!"

The wolf king and his pack settled here to protect this "Red Sun Fruit Tree".

"Red Sun Fruit?"

Li Yunjing was stunned, his eyes widening in surprise!
The Crimson Sun Fruit is a key ingredient for refining materials to help one break through to the Golden Core realm!

"It seems you've heard of the 'Crimson Sun Fruit.' How about it? Is this enough of a bargaining chip?"

The giant wolf king stretched out its paw and asked with a smile.

“I’ve heard of it! It’s a good thing! I really need it! But one isn’t enough for me! I need five, and I can trade them with spirit items to make up the difference!”

Li Yunjing was tempted, but since the Giant Wolf King was intelligent, he was still willing to talk to it.

Only when negotiations break down will force be used to resolve the issue!

The way the Giant Wolf King started was also Li Yunjing's way of doing things!

"Oh! What can you offer in exchange?"

The giant wolf king asked curiously.

"I know your demon race isn't good at crafting artifacts! I can provide your 'Giant Wolf Clan' with a hundred high-grade spiritual artifacts! What do you say?"

Li Yunjing has put forward his conditions.

"Hehe! That's too little!"

The giant wolf king shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain.

This old wolf was very cunning and seemed to know the important role of the "Red Sun Fruit"!

"Alright! I'll add ten more top-grade spiritual artifacts! This is my final condition! Any more than that, and I simply can't afford to pay!"

Li Yunjing raised the price.

"Okay! We can trade!"

The giant wolf king thought about it and nodded in agreement.

With this "Red Sun Fruit Tree," we can have as many "Red Sun Fruits" as we want.
