Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 545 The Highest Etiquette (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Since he's afraid of dying, then just transfer him back to the sect and make other arrangements.

Shenxiao Island doesn't need him!

Moreover, in Li Yunjing's view, the situation on "Shenxiao Island" may not necessarily be bad!
On his trip to "Flying Cloud Island" and "Sacred Sound Island," he still wanted to meet with Flying Cloud Master and Sacred Sound Fairy, exchange opinions with them, and see what these local great cultivators thought.

If they actively resist, I will certainly provide full support and fight a decisive battle with the "Tianluo Dao Sect" in the East China Sea!
If they choose to protect themselves and passively back down, then the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" won't stand in the way. At worst, they can just withdraw all the disciples of the "Shenxiao Island" sect at once.

Li Yunjing is capable of making this decision!
The East Sea has never been a region of importance for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

If it weren't for the fact that Mingxin Temple had planned to undermine Shenxiao Daozong back then, Shenxiao Daozong would never have had the idea of ​​sending experts over.

The "Shenxiao Island," which was like a chicken bone, was taken down. Surely we can't just give up the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?
That's why Elder Wu Cheng was sent to guard this place!

"Thank you, Vice Sect Leader!"

Overjoyed, Jiang Feilong turned around and knocked over a teacup on the stone table, spilling scalding tea onto his Taoist robe without even noticing.

We had a casual meal together at "Ya Xiang Ju" and had a long chat.

Early the next morning, Li Yunjing, along with Jin Shouyun, Su Guo, Wang Yun, Yue Zhouwang, and others, boarded the "Sky Patrol Ship" and headed towards the "Flying Cloud Sea".

The moment the "Sky Patrol Ship" pierced through the clouds, the star patterns flowing on its hull suddenly lit up, and lightning extended from the bow to the stern, like the chains of the gods, stretching across the sky.

The ship's imposing presence created towering waves dozens of feet high on the sea below, causing countless fish to float up belly-up and scattering seabirds in all directions.

On the deck, Jin Shouyun and the others gripped the railing, gazing at the thunder dragon totem cutting through the waves at the bow of the ship, and felt an unprecedented sense of awe.

When they came here back then, they traveled on the "Azure Cloud Boat." Who would have thought that they would be able to travel on such a behemoth now?

No one was in the mood to rest; instead, they stood on the deck, freely admiring the beautiful seascape.

After three days of sailing, the ship suddenly began to shake violently.

"It's the sea area of ​​the Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon!"

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back on the bridge, gazing at the dark clouds gathering on the horizon ahead, his pupils slightly contracting: "All of you, come to the bridge, don't linger on the deck!"

As Li Yunjing spoke, the nine giant thunder and fire cannons slowly rose, and the lightning gathered at the muzzles illuminated the entire sea area as if it were daytime.

When Jin Shouyun and the others retreated, huge waves rose on the sea. Above the crests of the waves, enormous black tentacles emerged, each as thick as a bucket, with suckers covered in barbs, causing the seawater to boil wherever they passed.

"Things that don't know whether to live or die!"

With Li Yunjing's command, nine bolts of lightning poured down like a silver river, exploding into purple sparks on the tentacles.

"Roar……"

The "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" roared in pain, causing a tsunami thousands of feet high to rise across the entire sea. Countless demonic fish floated on the crests of the waves, baring their fangs as they lunged at the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Su Guo and the others stood in the cockpit, looking at the battle scene outside. It was like the end of the world. They were all horrified and extremely tense.

Li Yunjing glanced at his friends without showing any emotion, smiled slightly, and explained that he had gone to such lengths to broaden his brothers' horizons and show them how top-tier warships fight!
After they broadened their horizons, their worldview was reshaped, and their determination to cultivate was strengthened.

It is important to understand that a person's perception largely determines the path they take in life.

Hanging out with Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators every day, they'll definitely only be at that level and won't amount to much.

Following such an important figure as him, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, and others gained experience, status, ambition, and lofty aspirations, making their cultivation path much smoother than before.

Everyone has their own degrees of closeness and distance. Even though Li Yunjing has become a high-ranking member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and tries his best to be fair and just, he still inevitably takes care of those around him to the best of his ability.

This battle is to show my brothers what a terrifying existence a demon king at the Golden Core Realm level really is!
Let everyone see just how amazing the new generation of warships of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" are!
"Boom!"

In the heat of battle, the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" suddenly emerged from the clouds with its ferocious head, spewing out foul-smelling dark green venom from its gaping maw.

Li Yunjing formed a hand seal, and the illusory images of yin and yang fish rotated in his palms: "Yin and yang reversed, the five elements returned to their proper places!"

"Roar……"

The Thunder Dragon totem on the bow roared as if it had come to life and charged toward the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon." The lightning burst forth and collided with the venom, creating a deafening roar.

"Zizzizi!"

The venom turned into green smoke in the void and was burned away, unable to harm the "Sky Patrol Ship" in the slightest.

The "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon's" left eye was ripped open by the Thunder Dragon's claws, and it let out a shrill scream. It turned around and tried to escape, but was caught by the "Heavenly Net" shot out by the "Sky Patrol Ship".

"Get down here!"

Li Yunjing's aura surged, and with a grabbing motion, he forcefully pulled the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" down from the clouds using his "Heavenly Net".

The magic weapon "Heavenly Net" spread out to three thousand feet wide. Under Li Yunjing's vast magical power, it carried the huge "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" and plunged it into the sea!

A huge crater was smashed into the sea surface, and the "eight-clawed demon dragon" struggled desperately in the whirlpool, its tentacles thrashing about, trying to tear apart the "net of heaven and earth".

The tentacles of the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" frantically pounded against the "Heavenly Net," each collision unleashing a blinding demonic aura.

"Thunder Dragon Soul Lock!"

Under Li Yunjing's control, the thunder dragon totem on the bow of the ship suddenly detached from the hull and transformed into a hundred-zhang-long thunder dragon, breaking through the "Heavenly Net" and rushing straight at the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon".

The lightning dragon opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the neck of the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon." Rolling lightning power vibrated incessantly, causing repeated explosions within the demon king's body.

"Ouch..."

The "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" let out a heart-wrenching scream, and dark green blood gushed out, turning the surrounding seawater into an eerie deep green.

Its eight tentacles gradually lost their strength and drooped limply.

"break!"

Li Yunjing suddenly swung his arm, and the "Heavenly Net" tightened instantly, with countless golden chains piercing through the body of the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon".

With a deafening roar, the enormous body of the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" exploded, and flesh and bone fragments fell like raindrops, stirring up thousands of waves on the sea.

On the deck, Jin Shouyun and the others stared in disbelief at the scene. They had never seen such a terrifying battle, nor had they ever imagined that such a powerful being existed in the world.

Su Guo swallowed hard, his voice trembling: "This...is this the power of the 'Sky Patrol Ship'?"

"This is absolutely appalling!"

Even Jin Shouyun, a proud man who fears nothing, repeatedly praised him.

"Ugh……"

The others also sighed repeatedly, saying they had seen the world.

"Photography!"

Li Yunjing slowly retracted the "Heavenly Net" and dragged the corpse of the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" onto the deck.

The enormous corpse lay sprawled on the deck, like a mountain of flesh.

Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun, and the others emerged from the driver's seat and paced around the enormous corpse, which still exuded a menacing aura even after death. Their expressions were tense, fearing that the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon" might come back to life and attack them.

Seeing everyone's cautious demeanor, Li Yunjing smiled slightly, used his magic to withdraw the "Heavenly Net," and transformed into a stream of light that disappeared into his sleeve.

"This is just a weak being at the Golden Core stage."

He turned to look at everyone, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Only by constantly becoming stronger can one gain a foothold in this dog-eat-dog world."

"Senior brother, we have learned a lot!"

Everyone bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with admiration and longing.

After this battle, the fire of cultivation in their hearts was completely ignited, and everyone wanted to have a moment of glory like Li Yunjing!
Even if everyone knows they can't do that, they should at least try their best to cultivate and break through to the Golden Core Realm, right?
With the cultivation of the Golden Core Realm, one is no longer an insignificant figure in the cultivation world. "Alright! Go and divide up this demon king's corpse!"

After giving his instructions, Li Yunjing turned and left without waiting for anyone's response, returning to the driver's seat.

In Li Yunjing's eyes, the corpse of a mere third-tier demon king was of little use; it would be better to let his brothers get some loot!
Once they return to the sect, Li Yunjing will have great power, and it will be difficult for him to openly give benefits to his brothers.

The million disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were staring at him with wide eyes, waiting for Li Yunjing to make a mistake!
He certainly didn't want to leave behind a terrible reputation as the supreme leader, to be cursed by his junior disciples for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Li Yunjing is a man who cares about his reputation. If he really ends up like that, why would he bother cultivating immortality? He might as well just die!

While Jin Shouyun and Su Guo were happily studying how to dissect the "Eight-Clawed Demon Dragon's" corpse, the "Sky Patrol Ship" restarted and continued its journey towards the "Flying Cloud Sea".

On the sea surface below the "Sky Patrol Ship" floated the remains of the fish demon, attracting countless sea beasts to fight over them.

But no monster dared to attack the "Sky Patrol Ship" anymore.

In their eyes, this giant ship was far more terrifying than the Demon King!
Three days later, the outline of "Flying Cloud Island" gradually emerged, with the light of the spiritual veins on the island reflecting the starry sky, like a fairyland.

Before long, streaks of light flew over from "Flying Cloud Island". Judging from their clothes, they were clearly patrolling disciples of the "Flying Cloud Sect".

"May I ask the senior on board, what is your name, and where do you come from?"

The sword light of the patrolling disciples came to an abrupt halt at the bow of the ship. The leading youth stared at the star patterns flowing across the hull, his pupils shrinking: "What brings you to my 'Flying Cloud Island'?"

He slightly condensed a magic seal in his hand, and the seven disciples behind him immediately formed a defensive formation, with sword energy covering the surrounding sea area like a net.

But inside, they were incredibly nervous.

This enormous warship looks extremely powerful.

Those on board must be important figures. If they are guests, all is well, but if they are enemies, they are probably doomed!
As disciples of the "Flying Cloud Sect," it is their duty to protect the sect. No matter what happens now, they have no right to run away!
Otherwise, even if the important figures on the giant ship spared them, the sect rules would not!

"Please inform Master Feiyun that Li Yunjing, the vice sect leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, requests an audience, as it concerns the situation in the East China Sea."

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back on the deck, his golden core aura emanating from him, creating a dragon-tiger formation.

A dragon and a tiger roared, and Li Yunjing raised his hand and threw out the "Thunder Dragon Token" engraved with the emblem of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Lightning flashed, and the jade token floated in front of the young man.

Examine the token carefully!

The majesty above was terrifying to the extreme.

Several patrolling disciples almost knelt down!
Before the token, they felt the oppressive aura of several top Golden Core cultivators from the Flying Cloud Sect!
"I was unaware of Vice Sect Leader Li's presence. Please forgive my rudeness!"

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly sheathed his sword and bowed, saying, "We will report this immediately!"

He had naturally heard of the great name of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", and even knew that there was an elder of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" stationed on "Shenxiao Island".

Thirty years ago, several prominent figures from the Shenxiao Dao Sect traveled across the ocean to the East China Sea. Together with the Feiyun Sect and other sects, they defeated the forces of Buddhism and the Demonic Sect and seized control of the surrounding sea area.

This is the first time I've ever heard of the title "Deputy Sect Leader of Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
This must be a top figure from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

This made their patrol team members even more nervous, and their attitude became extremely humble, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Before the words were finished, nine beams of azure light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, like nine giant dragons soaring into the clouds, which was the welcoming signal of the "Flying Cloud Sect".

Clearly, the "Sky Patrol Ship" had arrived, and the elders of the "Flying Cloud Sect" had also detected the anomaly.

When they saw Li Yunjing standing on the deck, displaying his supernatural powers, the elders were even more astonished and prepared to greet him with great ceremony.

Several patrolling disciples also noticed the unusual situation behind them. Their expressions tightened, and they split into two groups, standing on the left and right sides of the "Sky Patrol Ship," waiting in a welcoming manner for the appearance of the important figures from the "Flying Cloud Sect."

Many days passed while they waited.

Behind Li Yunjing, Jin Shouyun and the others were getting impatient.

However, seeing that Li Yunjing remained unmoved, he composed himself and continued to stand obediently at the back, displaying an elite demeanor and cheering for Li Yunjing.

Half an hour later, the sound of bells echoed from the sky, and twelve rainbow lights rushed from the depths of "Flying Cloud Island", weaving together in the air to form a huge "Twelve Constellation Chart".

At the heart of the formation, an elderly man with white hair stood on a jade lotus platform, surrounded by azure light. He was none other than the Grand Elder of the Flying Cloud Sect.

Behind the twelve elders at the Golden Core stage were thirty-six true disciples clad in silver armor, each wielding a spear inscribed with runes. They stood in perfect formation, the cold glint of their spear tips echoing the "Twelve Constellation Chart" in the sky.

"We are deeply honored by the presence of Vice Sect Leader Li of the Shenxiao Dao Sect! We have failed to properly welcome you!"

The elder's voice was powerful and resonant, echoing through the heavens.

As his words fell, the eaves of all the buildings on the island suddenly lit up with a blue light, transforming into thousands of streams of light that converged into a dazzling galaxy, stretching from the center of the island all the way to the Jade Plaza. This was the highest ceremony of the Flying Cloud Sect, "The Galaxy Attracts the Phoenix".

"Thank you for your warm welcome, Elder Feng and all fellow practitioners!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, stepped slowly down onto the Milky Way, and the aura of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger flowed naturally around him. The dragon and tiger roared and howled, reflecting the surrounding azure light, making him even more majestic.

Elder Feng glanced at Jin Shouyun and the others behind Li Yunjing, and was secretly shocked.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators were able to remain calm under the pressure of the Golden Core experts; the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" truly has a profound foundation.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, please follow me. The Sect Leader has prepared a banquet in the 'Flying Cloud Hall' to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."

The Grand Elder respectfully stepped aside to lead the way, and the jade lotus platform slowly descended, transforming into a crystal-clear jade staircase that extended towards the magnificent palace in the heart of the island.

Along the way, countless disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect bowed and shouted "Welcome, distinguished guests!" The sound waves rose and fell, shaking the surrounding clouds and mist.

In front of the "Flying Cloud Hall", Master Flying Cloud personally led the elders to wait, among them Wen Bin, an old acquaintance of Li Yunjing!

Wen Bin was taken aback to see his old friend Li Yunjing arrive!
Although I wasn't surprised that Li Yunjing had broken through to the Golden Core Realm, I didn't expect that after so many years, he would become the Vice Sect Leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Wen Bin knew exactly what this meant!

They are all prodigies from major sects. Having fought their way to this position, the next step is to become the supreme leader!

The thought of his good friend becoming a powerful ruler in the Southern Continent made Wen Bin tremble with excitement!

Like Wen Bin, the others who had the privilege of participating in the battle between the three factions of "Shenxiao Island" also remembered who Li Yunjing was.

Back then, this person was still a young talent, yet he had already displayed top-notch talent, which was firmly remembered by the people of the "Flying Cloud Sect," who believed that he would inevitably become one of the future leaders of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

However, no one expected that in just thirty years, Li Yunjing would break through to the Golden Core Realm and become the deputy sect leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

It's important to understand that to become the deputy sect leader of a behemoth sect like the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," one must have undergone tremendous trials, competed with peers, and gained a significant advantage to secure the position!
Is Li Yunjing really that strong?
This left everyone in a daze.

Master Feiyun looked at the young man before him with an extremely complex expression in his eyes.

"It is truly an honor for our Flying Cloud Sect that Vice Sect Leader Li could grace us with his presence amidst his busy schedule!"

When Li Yunjing arrived at the "Flying Cloud Palace", he regained his composure, slowly stepped forward, and bowed in greeting.

Having said that, Master Feiyun stepped aside to make room for Li Yunjing and gestured for him to enter the hall.

As for Jin Shouyun and his group, they were politely invited to rest in a side hall by a true disciple of the "Flying Cloud Sect".

After all, such a grand occasion is not something that disciples like Jin Shouyun, who have no status, should participate in.

"Hahaha! It's been many years, Master Feiyun is still as charming as ever. Li Yunjing greets you."

In terms of strength, Li Yunjing is naturally inferior, but his high status allows him to communicate with Master Feiyun on an equal footing without any reservations.

"Haha! Meeting Fellow Daoist Li today, I finally understand what a peerless genius truly is! Please!"

Master Feiyun offered a compliment and walked alongside Li Yunjing toward the "Feiyun Palace".
