Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 425 Sailing Out to Sea
"Oh?"

Upon hearing about Li Yunjing's attack, Zhao Qi frowned and asked, "Is it possible that the 'Flying Cloud Sect' ambushed you? And that the appearance of that Daoist nun was due to internal disagreements within the 'Flying Cloud Sect'?"

"It's possible!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his face grim: "I obtained a treasure in the 'Chaotic Rock Sea' back then. Perhaps the people from the 'Flying Cloud Sect' saw it and had the idea of ​​killing me to steal it!"

"So, the 'Flying Cloud Sect' is highly suspicious of me!"

Zhao Qi frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"However, I cannot pursue this matter!"

"The Flying Cloud Sect is the most needed helper for my Divine Firmament Dao Sect, and it plays a huge role in the East Sea!"

Li Yunjing said coldly.

As a true disciple of the sect, and someone even more powerful than the elders, Li Yunjing is increasingly focused on the sect's interests.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Sometimes, for the benefit of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", it is necessary to compromise.

Surely the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" wouldn't act according to his own whims?

Even those with immense power must learn to compromise!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect does not yet have the strength to sweep away all other forces!

Li Yunjing has no right to make enemies everywhere!
Regardless of whether it was done by someone from the "Flying Cloud Sect" or not, Li Yunjing should pretend he doesn't know anything about it!

"Yes! I understand my husband's concerns. In this matter, we must choose to be tolerant, but this grudge cannot go unavenged! We will find this person in the future and settle the score with him sooner or later!"

Zhao Qi comforted her.

"Hehe! It's nothing! These are all minor matters! I've already memorized that person's aura."

"If I run into him again, I'll find a chance to deal with him!"

Li Yunjing couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhao Qi comforting him.

Li Yunjing was confident that he could easily wipe out this enemy once he broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Those who dare to ambush you won't always be so lucky.

If he gets separated from his group in a remote place, he's doomed!

Even those at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm are no exception!

"Qi'er, let's go!"

After chatting for a while, seeing that Zhao Qi had changed her appearance, Li Yunjing slowly got up and walked straight out.

When Li Yunjing went out, his appearance and clothing had changed.

Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi both looked like middle-aged people!
After leaving "Star Moon Trading Company Store No. 4", the two did not choose to leave alone, but went to the dock, paid the boat fare, and boarded a large ship.

There are fixed shipping routes to various islands in the East China Sea.

They are all local powers or large powers with ocean-going capabilities, controlling the transportation industry.

They provided security and heavily fortified ships to carry the monks to their desired destinations.

Li Yunjing had never experienced this kind of service before.

He is extremely powerful and can travel across various seas on his own.

Even when faced with danger, Li Yunjing has the ability to turn the situation around.

This time, in order to avoid being tracked down by spies from the "Flying Cloud Sect", Li Yunjing had to be careful and bought a boat ticket.

I'm preparing to board the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" ship with Zhao Qi and head to the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" headquarters.

No one could have imagined that Li Yunjing would leave in this way.

The "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" ship was enormous, its thousand-foot-long hull resembling a mobile city.

The nine-story ship has a staggered layout, with each floor exuding a different atmosphere, and can accommodate tens of thousands of passengers.

The lower cabins were bustling with monks, while the upper cabins were much quieter, clearly reserved for passengers of high status or great wealth.

The price of a ticket varies depending on the comfort of your seat on the ship.

The tickets that Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi bought were in the third tier, and were very expensive, costing a full three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

In Li Yunjing's opinion, the money was quite reasonable, at least the two of them got a 30-square-meter room on the sixth floor of the ship.

The room was simply yet elegantly furnished, with several spirit stones embedded in the walls, emitting a faint spiritual aura, making the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire room comparable to that of a second-tier spiritual vein.

Li Yunjing calculated that the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" could earn several million low-grade spirit stones from this one voyage!
Zhao Qi stood by the window, looking out through the porthole.

The large ship had slowly sailed away from the harbor, and the sea breeze carried a slightly salty and damp scent.

She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "In the East China Sea, these kinds of ocean voyages are the real money-making business!"

"Yes!"

Sitting on the bed, Li Yunjing exclaimed, "This voyage was incredibly profitable! It's a pity that ocean voyages require sufficient military strength and connections; otherwise, something bad is bound to happen at sea! Currently, we don't have the capability to get involved in such a large business."

"I really hope that one day I can own such a big ship, and earn millions of spirit stones just by going out to sea!"

Zhao Qi nodded, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes.

Seeing Zhao Qi's expression, Li Yunjing's heart stirred. His woman had a dream of becoming a female captain.
Recalling the past, Zhao Qi seemed very excited and thrilled on the "Shenxiao Battleship".

"Once we return to the sect, we'll find a way to get Zhao Qi a 'Azure Cloud Boat'!"

Li Yunjing thought to himself.

As for the ship that Li Yunjing is currently using, it definitely cannot be given to Zhao Qi!

This "Qingyun Boat" still nominally belongs to Yu Yunyi!

How could he possibly give the first wife's things to his concubine?

The large ship sailed smoothly on the sea. Li Yunjing chatted with Zhao Qi for a while, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

Ten days later, Li Yunjing was cultivating when he suddenly felt the ship shake slightly. Then, a noisy sound came from outside.

He immediately opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

"problem occurs?"

Zhao Qi also awoke from her cultivation, her expression solemn.

"Take a look and then talk!"

Li Yunjing quickly got up, walked to the door, gently pushed it open a crack, and looked outside.

Inside the brightly lit corridor, several cultivators dressed in black were hurrying past.

After listening for a while, Li Yunjing understood the general idea.

There is a monster attacking from the sea, and the people of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" are fighting the monster.

This kind of thing happens frequently at sea.

Cultivators might give the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" some face, but demon beasts don't care who you are!

If they really meet at sea, a great battle could break out in an instant.

Li Yunjing was not worried about his safety.

On this large ship, the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" is very powerful, with at least three Golden Core cultivators in charge.

Moreover, there were also some Golden Core cultivators in the first and second class rooms.

These cultivators don't usually take action, since they're not members of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" and have no need to help. However, if the large ship is in trouble, these people will have to reluctantly help resist the attack of the demonic beasts in order to protect themselves.

After confirming that nothing serious had happened, Li Yunjing gently closed the door and turned to Zhao Qi, saying, "It was a monster attack from the sea, and the cultivators on the ship are dealing with it. However, with three Golden Core cultivators in charge, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Hmm! It has nothing to do with us!"

Zhao Qi nodded, but a hint of worry remained in her eyes: "However, we should still be careful. There are many kinds of monsters in the sea, some of which are even comparable to Nascent Soul stage cultivators. What if something unexpected happens..."

"Our luck can't be that bad!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and reassured them, "Don't worry, even if something unexpected happens, we have the ability to protect ourselves. Besides, the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's' ships are not so easy to breach."

Not long after, the ship shook violently again, and the noise outside grew even louder.

Faintly, one could still hear the roars of demonic beasts and the shouts of cultivators.

"Huh? Are the people from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' really that incompetent? They haven't even driven away the monsters yet?"

Li Yunjing walked to the window and looked out through the porthole.

On the distant sea, waves surged, and hundreds of enormous demonic beasts were engaged in a fierce battle with the cultivators on the ship.

Those monsters were enormous, some resembling giant whales, others like long snakes, their bodies covered in hard scales, spewing water jets and lightning from their mouths, their power astonishing.

"It seems this monster is no ordinary beast!"

Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

Zhao Qi also walked to the window, glanced at the situation outside, and frowned: "These demonic beasts seem to be 'Deep Sea Thunder Dragons' and 'Giant Whales,' both extremely troublesome, especially the 'Deep Sea Thunder Dragon,' which is said to be as powerful as a late-stage Golden Core cultivator when it reaches adulthood." "No matter what, we won't interfere!"

Li Yun nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "We'll wait here until all the cultivators from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' are dead!"

After deciding on their next move, the two looked out the window.

Outside the large ship, three Golden Core cultivators stood in mid-air, each casting spells and fiercely battling the demonic beasts.

A cultivator held a golden spear, its tip gleaming with dazzling light. Each swing of the spear brought forth a sharp spear beam, aimed directly at the vital points of the demonic beast.

Another cultivator was controlling a huge magic array, from which firestones were constantly shot out and smashed onto the sea.

The last cultivator stood at the bow of the ship, his hands forming a mudra and his mouth chanting incantations, seemingly preparing some kind of powerful divine power.

As the three Golden Core cultivators made their move, the members of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" on the large ship also used the ship's cannons and ballistae to bombard all directions.

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions almost never stopped.

Above the sea, dazzling supernatural powers, spells, and various magical treasures bombarded the area relentlessly. The demonic beasts were not to be outdone, unleashing their innate supernatural powers or charging with their physical forms, all striving to attack.

Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi even had time to move the table to the window, where they sat together, eating spiritual fruits and sipping spiritual tea, watching the great battle outside with great interest.

This feeling of relaxation has a unique charm.

Unlike Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi, who were relaxed and carefree, many low-level cultivators on the large ship were filled with fear and trepidation, unsure of what to do.

If it weren't for the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" members maintaining order on the lower decks, the lower decks would have been in complete chaos.

As for the third floor where Li Yunjing was, and the two floors above it, everyone was a cultivator with profound cultivation, so they didn't seem worried and remained calm.

After watching the excitement for a while, suddenly, the sea exploded, and a huge black shadow shot up from the water and rushed straight towards the ship.

The shadowy figure was enormous, covered in jet-black scales, with a single sharp horn on its head, and spewing foul-smelling black mist from its mouth; it was clearly an extremely powerful demonic beast.

"That's... the 'One-Horned Demon Dragon'!"

Zhao Qi exclaimed in surprise, her face turning pale instantly.

"Good guy!"

Li Yunjing also gasped in shock: "I didn't expect even such a demonic beast to appear! The 'One-Horned Demonic Dragon' is comparable to a peak Golden Core Realm expert. This is troublesome!"

Sure enough, as soon as the "One-Horned Demon Dragon" appeared, the three Golden Core cultivators of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" immediately felt much more pressure.

Although their attacks were fierce, they seemed somewhat powerless in the face of the "One-Horned Demon Dragon".

The beast's scales were incredibly hard, and ordinary spells couldn't harm it in the slightest. Instead, they enraged it, making its attacks even more ferocious.

The ship shook violently again and even began to tilt slightly.

"Oh no! The bottom of the boat is leaking!"

"The ship is going to sink!"

"Run!"

……

Inside the cabins below, some people even started screaming.

Something really has happened!

At this point, the passengers on board couldn't sit still any longer.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Soon, four Golden Core cultivators flew out from the top floor and joined the battle.

Seven Golden Core Realm experts attacked simultaneously, seven against four, barely managing to maintain the situation.

However, defeating the four demon kings does not seem to be easy.

Especially the newly appeared "One-Horned Demon Dragon", a single demonic beast that overwhelmed three Golden Core Realm experts and beat them mercilessly!
No one could withstand it!
Wherever the "One-Horned Demonic Dragon" charged, the Golden Core cultivators in that direction had to flee in terror, unable to even withstand a single blow.

"I wonder if there are any other experts on board!"

Li Yunjing frowned and quickly made a decision: "We can't wait any longer. This ship probably won't hold on. We need to find a way to get out of here!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Qi nodded, but she was still a little nervous.

She knew that even a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm couldn't do anything to Li Yunjing, but this situation still made Zhao Qi very nervous.

There are already as many as eleven Golden Core Realm level combatants.

The scene was chaotic, and it was unclear whether Li Yunjing could handle it!
When Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi arrived on the deck, the scene before them was horrifying.

The ship's hull had been rammed by the "One-Horned Demon Dragon," leaving several cracks in it, and seawater was pouring in through the cracks.

Although the cultivators on the ship fought back with all their might, they were already struggling to withstand the ferocious attacks of the "One-Horned Demon Dragon".

At this point, there was no need for the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" to ask for help.

The tens of thousands of passengers on the ship had no choice but to curse the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" as bastards while unleashing their magical weapons and spells to attack the surrounding monsters.

With the addition of tens of thousands of new recruits, the situation has improved considerably.

With so many people attacking together, even a Qi Refining Realm cultivator might not be able to withstand a Golden Core Realm demon beast's combined attack!

Furthermore, there were also experts among the passengers. Apart from the four demon kings, the other demon beasts were all killed, and the situation improved considerably.

Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi exchanged a glance, and their idea of ​​running away faded.

The two understood each other perfectly. They brandished their longswords and, standing on the ship's side, unleashed sword energy to help slay the demonic beasts.

Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi are both experts, one at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the other at the ninth level. Even without using supernatural powers, their sword energy alone is enough to tear apart ordinary second-tier demonic beasts.

With the help of these two, the cultivators near Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi all breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't know why the monsters couldn't hold on.

There were no experts around to provide support, which was really strange.

These people are limited by their eyesight; how could they possibly see the true strength of Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi?

With effortless ease, the two took the life of a second-tier demonic beast with each strike. Their attacks were swift and precise, and as they continued their slaughter, the pressure on the surrounding area naturally lessened.

"Beast, die!"

Seeing that the situation below had improved considerably, the Golden Core cultivator from the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" was overjoyed and his courage increased. With a loud shout, his sword light shone like a rainbow and pierced straight into the eyes of the "One-Horned Demon Dragon".

"Damn human! You are provoking the great Demon Dragon King!"

The monster seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly shook its head to avoid the man's attack. At the same time, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a foul-smelling black mist.

"what……"

The Golden Core cultivator retreated quickly, trying to avoid the invasion of the black mist, but he was still too slow and was affected by the poisonous gas, his face turning pale.

"This monster is indeed troublesome!"

As soon as he was poisoned, he immediately retreated, thinking to himself.

Just then, the spells of the other two elders of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" were unleashed.

The two then used their magical artifacts to cast a spell, and a huge Tai Chi diagram appeared out of thin air, blocking the "One-Horned Demon Dragon".

"Ok?"

Caught off guard, the monster crashed into the ice wall, letting out a painful roar.

"good chance!"

The poisoned person's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he was about to flee.

However, the demonic dragon king was completely enraged. With another ramming attack, the Taiji diagram shattered with a "crack," and its massive maw descended upon the Golden Core cultivator.

The elder of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" felt a darkness behind him, and a foul stench almost made him faint.

Immediately, the man knew something was wrong.

But before the man could escape, the "Demon Dragon King" snapped its jaws shut, its sharp teeth biting down firmly on him.

The Golden Core cultivator let out a miserable scream and then died.

Even the Golden Core cultivator couldn't escape.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

The Demon Dragon King chewed a few times, swallowed the corpse, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Cultivators hunt demonic beasts, and demonic beasts also hunt cultivators!
In the eyes of demonic beasts, cultivators are also top-quality food and highly nourishing substances.

Eight or nine out of ten times, when demonic beasts attack cultivators, it is to satisfy their appetite.

Not only is it delicious, but more importantly, it's full of energy, which is very beneficial for cultivation.
