Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 556 A Great Victory (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, the remaining Golden Core cultivators were crying and wailing, a truly pitiful sight.

"Fellow Daoist Li, spare our lives! We are willing to pay compensation!"

"Yes! If you spare my life, I am willing to offer all my wealth to you, fellow Daoist!"

"I surrender! Fellow Daoist Li, I'm willing to be your dog, please spare me! My cultivation at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm will definitely be of use to you!"

"I don't want to die!"

……

Their pleas for mercy had no effect whatsoever.

Li Yunjing's expression was cold and stern; he had no intention of letting them off the hook.

What good are these promises?!

Would Li Yunjing dare to go to a place like "Sihai City"?
Would he dare to take over those chambers of commerce?

Besides, these people have all become his enemies. If Li Yunjing keeps them by his side, he's afraid they might suddenly turn on him at any moment!

Li Yunjing was already very satisfied with killing them and taking all the good stuff from them.

You know, cultivators are such a selfish group; they always keep all the good stuff on their person!
As for the items in the shop's warehouse, most of them are common goods, but not top-quality goods.

With these people around, why would we need to covet other wealth?
With billions or even tens of billions in wealth, Li Yunjing was extremely satisfied.

"Li Yunjing, you beast, you deserve to die a horrible death!"

"Fuck your mother! I'd rather die than not fight you!"

"Kill him! We'll take him with us even if we die!"

……

Seeing that Li Yunjing remained unmoved, fewer and fewer people remained around them. The remaining people went completely mad, their anger reaching its peak, and they actually mustered up the courage to charge towards the "Sky Patrol Ship"!
As for the "Shenxiao Battleship"?
That thing is amazing!
You can tell at first glance that he’s not someone you’d want to mess with!
Moreover, Li Yunjing is inside the "Sky Patrol Ship," so naturally they must attack this place and kill this hateful enemy.

A gray-robed cultivator skilled in escape techniques transformed into a streak of light, attempting to break through the defensive shield, but was locked onto by the "Thousand Machine Crossbow" fired from the "Sky Patrol Ship".

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A dense barrage of spirit arrows pierced the air as the man frantically dodged amidst the rain of arrows, but was ultimately pierced by three spirit arrows, which tore his body apart.

Some cultivators even unleashed their natal magic weapons in an attempt to fight the warship, but with the "Divine Firmament Warship" providing assistance, no one was able to get onto the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Li Yunjing didn't even need to move the "Sky Patrol Ship"; using it as a fixed gun emplacement was enough.

With the approval of Master Liehuo, Li Yunjing no longer cared about the consumption of resources. He poured hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones into the "energy furnace" to convert them and launch attacks!
He consumes spirit stones at a rate that is almost measured in seconds!

"Fight!"

A female cultivator in red gritted her teeth and threw out the "Nine Netherworld Fire Banner," which ignited with eerie green flames. Just as it flew out, it was extinguished by the cannon fire of the "Divine Firmament Warship."

The "Sky Patrol Ship" is equivalent to the half-step Nascent Soul Realm level, while the "Divine Firmament Warship" is equivalent to the combat power of the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
With two warships, dealing with some merchants who only have magical treasures is a piece of cake.

The fierce roars of the monks mingled with the screams of the cultivators, turning the entire island into a living hell.

Those cultivators who were lucky enough to survive looked at the ever-shrinking safe zone with nothing but despair in their eyes.

Some frantically brandished their magical weapons to attack the barrier, while others knelt and begged for mercy, but none could escape the strangulation of death.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" and the "Divine Firmament Warship" are like the scythe of death, reaping one vibrant life after another...

"I'm not reconciled! I'm already a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, and I can even break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, which means I can live for three thousand years..."

The last golden-robed cultivator let out a desperate roar, summoning his natal magic weapon, the "Heavenly Mirror." The mirror surface erupted with dazzling golden light as he attempted to forcefully break through the barrier.

However, the main cannon of the "Divine Firmament Warship" roared into action, and a beam of energy as thick as a water tank pierced through the mirror surface in an instant. The cultivator's body was pierced through like a piece of paper and crashed heavily onto the burning island, sending sparks flying.

As the final scream dissipated into the blood-red mist, dozens of Golden Core cultivators perished.

"Happy!"

Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief and slowly lowered the "Sky Patrol Ship". Several spirit-patterned chains extended from the bow of the ship, like greedy tentacles, pulling the scattered magical treasures, storage rings and broken magical artifacts into the cabin.

Even the severed limbs and broken arms of these cultivators were not missed; they were all collected without leaving a single trace.

As Li Yunjing cleaned up the battlefield, the "Shenxiao Battleship" hovered above the battlefield, keeping watch for him and ensuring that even those who were not dead would be attacked by the battleship and completely annihilated.

Finally, Li Yunjing personally boarded the "Sky Patrol Ship" and stood on the island. His divine sense swept across the battlefield like a tide, leaving no corner unchecked that might contain treasures.

"jingle……"

With a crisp clanging sound, hundreds of "storage rings", "storage bracelets", and "treasure pouches" were collected into the "purple-gold gourd".

"This time we've really struck it rich."

Li Yunjing glanced around and saw mountains of spirit stones, rare spiritual materials, high-level talismans, and top-tier magic treasures inside. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Just as he was basking in the joy of his victory, a deafening roar drew his attention back to the center of the battlefield.

Suddenly, flames surged three zhang around Master Liehuo, and a huge phantom of a fire phoenix appeared behind him. With a flap of its wings, a rain of fire poured down from the sky.

Ao Lie transformed into a hundred-foot-long dragon, its scales shimmering with crimson light, and its massive tail swept across, tearing black cracks into the space.

The dragon's claws and the fire phoenix's claws collided with a deafening roar, and the resulting energy shockwave leveled the mountain peaks at the edge of the island. The entire formation seemed to be at risk of shattering.

The eighteen bronze pillars shone brightly, continuously channeling power into the spherical barrier, which then gathered more dark clouds in the sky.

Within the dark clouds, bolts of lightning, following the will of the Fiery Immortal, relentlessly struck down Ao Lie, causing him to suffer numerous injuries.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Yunjing put away the "Sky Patrol Ship," boarded the "Divine Firmament Warship," and watched the two masters clash on the battlefield, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He found that Ao Lie didn't seem to be anything special.

I might be able to exchange a few blows with him.
As for the Fiery Immortal?

This old man seems quite fierce, far beyond my ability to fight!
Just as Li Yunjing predicted, Ao Lie couldn't hold on for long and fell into a disadvantageous position in all aspects.

The "Shenxiao Warship" didn't even need to fire support.

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped onto the deck of the "Shenxiao Warship", everyone came out to congratulate him.

"Fellow Daoist Li is incredibly brave! You slaughtered dozens of Golden Core cultivators in one go, and even the Golden-Clad Envoy of the 'Four Seas Merchant Guild' fell to your hands. This feat will be legendary in the East Sea for at least several hundred years!"

Wen Bin smiled and complimented him.

This battle made him realize the power of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!

What good are a lot of people?
The "Divine Firmament Battleship" and "Sky Patrol Ship" are more than enough to easily slaughter hundreds of Golden Core cultivators!
This is the true power of the overlord of the Southern Continent!
At this moment, Wen Bin's sense of peace began to waver.

There seems to be a huge gap between his and Li Yunjing's status.

I should really try to curry favor with this Fellow Daoist Li from now on!

Perhaps he can gain more benefits from Li Yunjing than from the "Flying Cloud Sect"?

"you do not say!"

Before Li Yunjing could answer, Liao Wanqing winked at him meaningfully and exclaimed, "So many important figures have died this time. I'm afraid it won't be long before the news spreads throughout the East China Sea. Fellow Daoist Li, you've really become famous."

Before she finished speaking, Xing'er, Yue'er, and the people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" also offered their congratulations.

This was the first time they had witnessed a chaotic battle on the scale of the Golden Core Realm.

The scene was magnificent, with countless magical artifacts flying through the air, a thousand kinds of spells surging, and naval cannons roaring, like a mythical battlefield.

Even though the battle was over, everyone was still shaken and the memory lingered in their minds, as if they wanted to remember this moment for the rest of their lives!
"You guys!"

Li Yunjing looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone, a smile playing on his lips.

However, Li Yunjing didn't say much. He had already enjoyed so many benefits, and if he said anything more, it would sound like he was showing off.

Of course, it's only natural that he wouldn't allocate any!

Li Yunjing contributed the most!
The "Divine Firmament Battleship" was also provided to him by Master Liehuo; the others were merely temporary pilots, so they didn't have any merit.
Even without them, Master Liehuo could still fight and control the "Divine Firmament Battleship" with just a little distraction.

Since his companions had no credit, Li Yunjing, following the rules of the cultivation world, naturally did not need to share the spoils with others.

While Li Yunjing chatted with the others, the phantom of the Fiery Phoenix of True Immortal Liehuo became increasingly solid. Wherever its wings swept, space twisted and deformed as if melted glass. Meanwhile, the body of the giant dragon Ao Lie was still roaring, but the blood seeping from its scales had already dyed the sea beneath it crimson. "Little thing, you've broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, yet you haven't cultivated any skills and dare to come out to kill and plunder treasures. You'll pay with your life!"

After a hundred or so rounds, Master Liehuo grew stronger with each battle. With a roar, the Fire Phoenix suddenly transformed into a crimson meteor, heading straight for Ao Lie's face.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have come out! If things had been stable for a few hundred years, maybe that old thing wouldn't be a match for me."

Ao Lie swung his dragon tail with all his might, trying to block it, but was caught by the fire phoenix's sharp claws and slammed to the ground.

With a deafening roar, the entire island trembled violently, and the dragon smashed a bottomless crater into it.

Ao Lie struggled to get up, only to find that the space around him was imprisoned by the "Samadhi True Fire" of the Fiery Immortal.

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and bolts of lightning as thick as water vats struck the sea of ​​fire like silver snakes, hitting him precisely.

The powers of thunder and fire have merged into one!

Its power was terrifying.

Li Yunjing was also proficient in fire and lightning supernatural powers, but after seeing the skills of the Fiery Immortal, he was still full of admiration!

These two supernatural powers are absolutely invincible.

Especially in the field of fire, Li Yunjing doubted whether anyone else had a higher level of skill than the Fiery Immortal.

Anyway, this is the ceiling he's seen so far.

"Boom!"

Nine bolts of lightning struck from the dark clouds in the sky, causing the dragon to roar in pain, its scales peeling off piece by piece, leaving it a bloody mess.

After the nine bolts of lightning, the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the power of the "Divine Thunder and Fire Demon-Slaying Array" finally reached its limit.

The runes on the eighteen bronze pillars gradually faded.

However, Master Liehuo did not pay attention to this and did not continue to provide energy to the "Divine Thunderfire Demon Extermination Formation". He clearly believed that the overall situation was settled and that there was no need for the formation to assist him. He also believed that Ao Lie could not change his fate.

Li Yunjing's eyes were sharp, and he also saw the light in Ao Lie's eyes gradually dimming, knowing that the outcome was already decided.

As expected, a moment later, Master Liehuo formed hand seals and shouted, "Incinerate the heavens and destroy the earth!"

The phantom of the fire phoenix merged with the thunder in the dark clouds, transforming into a giant fiery fist that slammed down on Ao Lie.

"Spare me..."

Ao Lie let out a desperate roar, but he was powerless to withstand this earth-shattering blow.

The giant flaming fist descended, instantly engulfing him, and the enormous explosion shook the entire sea, creating towering waves.

When the flames subsided, a hundred-foot-long fire dragon corpse was seen floating on the sea. Although its scales were charred black, it still exuded an astonishing aura.

The Fiery Immortal, standing on flames, grabbed the dragon corpse and slowly landed on the "Divine Firmament Warship," the flames around him gradually subsiding.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, you did a great job this time!"

He looked at Li Yunjing and laughed, "How about I give you half of this fire dragon's corpse?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor!"

Li Yunjing quickly bowed, his eyes filled with undisguised joy: "However, I don't need too much. Just see if you have any materials that can enhance the fire element power of my 'Five Dragon Wheels,' and get me some!"

He knew in his heart that every scale and every tendon on the fire dragon's corpse was a rare material for refining top-grade magic weapons.

The entire effort was put in by Master Liehuo; how could he possibly deserve it all?

Master Liehuo gave him a portion; that would be enough.

Li Yunjing is not greedy!

Moreover, the other part of the materials for his "Five Dragon Wheels" has already been acquired by "Treasure Pavilion" and can be refined to a higher level.

Master Liehuo laughed heartily, pondered for a moment, raised his hand and waved, a long sword flew out, "crack! crack," and began to cut it up directly and brutally.

One-quarter of the dragon's corpse was thrown to Li Yunjing by Master Liehuo, while the rest was kept by him.

Li Yunjing is already the top candidate for the future sect leader, and he has the support of a group of elders, including Qin Jiuxiao. Master Liehuo also has the idea of ​​befriending Li Yunjing.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

Li Yunjing was very sensible and accepted a quarter of the fire dragon's corpse, repeatedly thanking Master Liehuo.

"Alright, we can't stay here any longer. Let's get out of here. Those old guys from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' will probably be here soon."

After saying that, Master Liehuo controlled the "Divine Firmament Warship," transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the vast sea.

Sure enough, not long after, something was discovered in the direction of "Sihai City"—the soul tablets of many important figures in the Chamber of Commerce had shattered!
This shows that most of those who chased after them perished!

This is an earth-shattering event!
The members of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" realized that Ao Lie had not left behind a soul tablet and were unsure of his safety. Two vice presidents at the Nascent Soul stage joined forces and left the "Four Seas Island" to pursue him.

But when they arrived at the island that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, there was no trace of Li Yunjing and his group.
Only the ruined island and traces of supernatural powers and magic indicate the fierce battle that took place here.

After the "Divine Firmament Warship" left, in order to avoid being caught, True Man Liehuo spent a lot of resources and used teleportation three times in a row before he was far away from the "Four Seas".

The journey back was smooth, and half a month later, the "Shenxiao Battleship" returned to "Shenxiao Island".

Li Yunjing and Master Liehuo summoned Elder Wu Cheng and explained to him the matter of forming a new "East Sea Alliance". After Elder Wu Cheng understood Li Yunjing's meaning, he headed towards the mainland.

When the "Shenxiao Warship" pierced through the clouds and saw the vast and boundless mountains and plains, everyone on the deck was filled with excitement.

Apart from Li Yunjing and Liehuo Zhenren, everyone was overjoyed.

Those members of the "Shenxiao Daozong" also saw their homeland and their eyes filled with tears.

After more than 20 years, it's finally back!
Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing could not hide their excitement either. This was the legendary Southern Continent in the sea!

For the first time, they came from the vast ocean to the boundless continent.

This novel feeling made the two of them frequently look around, admiring the beautiful scenery, and they seemed to have a lot more to say.

"Brother Yun Jing, we want to go to the 'City of Glory' to see Sister Liu Ruyan!"

Just then, Xing'er and Yue'er whispered to Li Yunjing.

"Ok?"

Li Yunjing looked at Xing'er and Yue'er's lowered eyes, a knowing look in his eyes.

The two women's unnatural expressions showed that they didn't want to go to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and witness the glorious scene of Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi.

He raised his hand and gently patted the two women's heads, saying in a gentle voice, "I know what you're thinking, but there are many things to arrange when we return to the sect. If you come back with me, you can get some help."

"Brother Yunjing, we really want to go see Sister Ruyan first."

Xing'er bit her lip, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers: "After all these years adrift at sea, Sister Ruyan's letters have always been our longing. Now, we've finally set foot on the mainland..."

Yue'er nodded in agreement, her eyes slightly red: "We promise to be good. Once we've seen Sister Ruyan, we'll immediately return to the Divine Firmament Dao Sect to find you."

"This……"

Li Yunjing was caught in a dilemma, seemingly unsure whether to grant the two women's requests.

"Young people have their own ideas!"

Seeing this, Master Liehuo laughed and said, "Let them go! 'City of Glory' is our territory, there's no problem with safety!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved out two streams of light, and the "Shenxiao Warship" directly changed direction and headed north.

"Alright then! You'll behave yourselves in the 'City of Glory'!"

Li Yunjing sighed helplessly, "If you encounter any trouble, you can use this token to ask the 'Black Tortoise Army' and 'White Tiger Army' for help!"

He then branded his orders onto the two jade slips with the "Black Tortoise Token" and the "White Tiger Token".

As long as Xing'er and Yue'er present the jade slip, the people of the "Xuanwu Army" and "Baihu Army" will see it and naturally obey orders to help the two women.

"Brother Yunjing is the best!"

Xing'er and Yue'er happily accepted the jade slip, and quickly kissed Li Yunjing on the cheek on tiptoe.
