Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 576 Feng Shui Arrangement (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Hmph! No matter who they are! Kill them without mercy!"

Li Yunjing's voice was icy cold; for the sake of this operation, he no longer cared about the lives of others.

If they were killed by mistake, it could only be attributed to their bad luck; they could have stayed anywhere else but in the path of the "Sky Patrol Ship," which was tantamount to courting death.

Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and Ji Zixuan on the deck were startled. They hadn't expected that they would encounter someone lurking nearby in less than three hours of sailing.

This made the three of them look serious, and their previous relaxed feeling was gone.

Ji Zixuan, in particular, turned deathly pale when she saw the seven people die on the spot.

The blood dispersed into a red mist in the water, but not a single drop drifted toward the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Amidst Li Yunjing's cold words, the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" had already used its divine power to dissipate the surrounding aura.

Even if someone were to divine the secrets of heaven, they would not be able to detect the anomaly here.

This is why Li Yunjing used the celestial magic treasure, the "Mysterious Heaven Compass".

Otherwise, Li Yunjing usually uses the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" to kill people.

This is the benefit of having more magical treasures.

There is a corresponding magic weapon to choose from in any situation.

"Brother Li, why did you kill them all? Didn't you even ask about their backgrounds?"

At this moment, Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and Ji Zixuan returned to the driver's seat, and Wen Bin asked.

"Keeping survivors will only reveal our whereabouts."

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly and said calmly, "There are still three groups of scouts ahead. Take them out as well!"

Everyone else was shocked by his decisiveness, and no one dared to breathe.

When they met again, Li Yunjing was even more imposing.

Even Xu Xun felt as if he were looking at a great figure from a sect when he looked at Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing has grown up too fast.

They have become beings whose words can decide life and death!
In the deep sea, the "Sky Patrol Ship" cuts through the waves like a black whale. Wherever it passes, any spiritual consciousness that touches the barrier on the warship is instantly shredded.

Halfway there, the tortoise shell suddenly became hot, reflecting the image of the mermaid fleet sailing in the distance.

Ji Zixuan poked her head out of the cabin: "That's a mermaid tribe, they..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yunjing had already summoned the "Mysterious Heaven Compass," and the star map on the compass spun rapidly, finally settling on the direction of the merman fleet.

There was a faint trace of human presence mixed in with it.

"Brother Xu, turn towards the merman fleet."

Li Yunjing gripped the "Mysterious Heaven Compass" tightly and coldly ordered, "Zixuan, do you have any connection with the merfolk?"

Ji Zixuan nodded and took out a pearl necklace: "My mother once saved the daughter of the merman chieftain. This is the 'mermaid tear' they gave me."

"Oh?"

A thought struck Li Yunjing, and his killing intent lessened slightly. He asked, "Will they have any impact on us?"

"Probably not?"

Ji Zixuan understood Li Yunjing's meaning: once he confirmed that someone wasn't one of his own, he would definitely kill them without hesitation.

She quickly explained, "The Merfolk have a very good relationship with my parents. Their clan leader is also a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and recently it seems that they also have the idea of ​​joining the alliance."

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded, and the "Sky Patrol Ship" concealed its aura, disguised itself as a second-tier ship, and continued its previous voyage.

"Then ask them what they do! Why are they here!"

Li Yunjing said to Ji Zixuan.

"it is good!"

Ji Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She threw the necklace into the water, and immediately a blue light rose up.

This light is very noticeable on the seabed, and can be seen clearly even from a great distance.

Soon the merman fleet noticed the anomaly, and their fleet actually made way for them.

In the giant coral chariot at the center of the fleet, an elder of the merfolk leaned out, his fish tail slapping the water's surface: "Daughter of the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves, what do you wish to ask?"

Following Li Yunjing's instructions, Ji Zixuan quickly explained her purpose.

“Three days ago, the people from the ‘Tianluo Dao Sect’ stole the Water-Avoiding Spirit Pearl from us. We were ordered to hunt them down.”

Because of the string of pearls, the merfolk recognized Ji Zixuan's identity and revealed their purpose without concealment.

Li Yunjing's pupils shrank suddenly; he hadn't expected that the people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" had already become active here.

This is probably a big problem.

You must know that this is the heartland of the "East China Sea Alliance"!
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder."

Li Yunjing winked at Ji Zixuan, and the girl immediately tossed out a bag of spirit stones: "A small token of my gratitude."

"polite!"

The elder accepted the spirit stone, quite satisfied, and became much more amiable, reminding him, "Among the people of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect,' there are two Golden Core Realm experts and ten Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. You must be careful if you encounter them!"

"Thank you for reminding!"

Ji Zixuan responded with a smile. At this moment, she secretly admired Li Yunjing. If it weren't for these spirit stones, he definitely wouldn't have said that second sentence.

After bidding farewell to the Merfolk fleet, as the "Sky Patrol Ship" accelerated again, Xu Xun whispered, "Vice Sect Leader Li, could this be a trap?"

"Don't worry about them!"

Li Yunjing calmly said, "Let's just keep going!"

He has been away from Shenxiao Island for five days now, and has sailed five thousand miles, which is far enough. He is not worried about being suspected of coming from Shenxiao Island.

With Li Yunjing's words, Xu Xun felt much more at ease and began to speed up his voyage, heading towards the sea area he had visited before.

Along the way, they encountered some core areas of powerful forces. Under Li Yunjing's control, the "Sky Patrol Ship" avoided these areas and continued sailing towards its destination.

Three months later, the bow of the "Sky Patrol Ship" pierced through the last patch of fluorescent algae, and a bright view suddenly appeared before them.

Large swathes of dark purple seaweed swayed with the waves, forming a deep underwater basin with a diameter of hundreds of feet in the center. The coral palace that Xu Xun had described was lying quietly in the center of the basin. The three characters "Water God Palace" above the palace gate were covered by seaweed, leaving only mottled gold paint.

"right here."

Xu Xun maneuvered the ship into the seaweed thicket, his voice trembling slightly, "Last time I was repelled by a restriction three hundred feet away, there must be a powerful restriction inside the hall."

Li Yunjing stared in the direction of the deep palace when the tortoise shell suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and three dark red light spots appeared on its surface.

It was the life essence of the three elders of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce".

Li Yunjing found it difficult to deduce the location of the transaction, but once he arrived near the "Water God Palace," it was not difficult to detect the presence of certain people.

Ji Zixuan suddenly pointed to the right side of the palace: "Look! There's something strange going on there!"

A group of dark figures swam through the depths of the seaweed. The leader had a "Tianluo Dao Sect" badge hanging from his waist. There were actually people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" here.

Li Yunjing calculated with his fingers, and the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" continuously deduced heavenly secrets, causing golden light to emanate from the tortoise shell.

The Eight Trigrams of the Earlier Heaven, through their own deductions, reveal the phenomenon of "from adversity to prosperity".

"Brother Wen, Fairy Liao, you two take Miss Ji and guard the warship."

Li Yunjing handed the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" to Ji Zixuan, saying, "You two wait here for Brother Xu and me!"

Ji Zixuan gripped the jade pendant tightly, then suddenly grabbed his wrist: "I..."

She wanted to say that she would go in with Li Yunjing, but considering her own cultivation level, she wisely kept quiet.

"Brother Li, don't worry! We will take good care of Miss Ji!"

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing both assured Li Yunjing.

Unless there is a fatal danger, the two of them would never dare to abandon Ji Zixuan. Otherwise, the two immortals of Bibo would let them know what it means to wish they were dead!
The "Sky Patrol Ship" was hidden among the seaweed. Li Yunjing, along with Xu Xun, secretly left the "Sky Patrol Ship," crept into the crack in the dark, and entered the outer perimeter of the "Water God Palace."

Xu Xun suddenly lowered his voice: "Be careful, this is a variant of the 'Nine-Bend Bewitching Array'."

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded. In fact, he had figured it out even without Xu Xun's reminder.

As the head of the "Seven Star Palace," who started his career in array formations, how could Li Yunjing not recognize him?
He was even confident that, below the Grandmaster of Array Dao, no one had a deeper understanding of it than him!

In order not to alert the people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect", Li Yunjing summoned the "Xuantian Compass". Before long, the pointer was seen spinning wildly at the "Gate of Life" position.

The moment you pass through the crack and enter the area of ​​the "Water God's Palace", a wave of decaying spiritual energy rushes towards you.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" was hidden among the seaweed. Li Yunjing, along with Xu Xun, secretly left the "Sky Patrol Ship," crept into the crack in the dark, and entered the outer perimeter of the "Water God Palace."

Xu Xun suddenly lowered his voice: "Be careful, this is a variant of the 'Nine-Bend Bewitching Array'." "Hmm!"

Li Yunjing nodded. In fact, he had figured it out even without Xu Xun's reminder.

As the head of the "Seven Star Palace," who started his career in array formations, how could Li Yunjing not recognize him?
He was even confident that, below the Grandmaster of Array Dao, no one had a deeper understanding of it than him!

In order not to alert the people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect", Li Yunjing summoned the "Xuantian Compass". Before long, the pointer was seen spinning wildly at the "Gate of Life" position.

The moment you pass through the crack and enter the area of ​​the "Water God's Palace", a wave of decaying spiritual energy rushes towards you.

The instant one passes through the Gate of Life, decaying spiritual energy surges forth like a viscous tide.

Li Yunjing's sleeves moved without wind, and a few strands of silver thread that had been probing the path turned yellow and withered at a visible speed after only three feet of movement.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

Xu Xun's boots crushed half a carved floor tile, the sound of cracks spreading like a spiderweb was particularly jarring in the deathly silence.

He looked down and saw that a dark blue moss was seeping out from the cracks in the lapis lazuli bricks, and fluorescent mycelium was climbing up the creases of his shoes like countless probing tentacles.

Upon entering, there is a huge barrier that isolates the seawater, keeping the area in a separate state.

However, it was still somewhat damp deep at the bottom of the ocean.

Outside the "Water God Palace", there are twelve coiled dragon pillars leaning in the damp mist, the black iron chains that should have been wrapped around the pillars have long since rusted and broken.

A skeleton hangs from the end of a chain, and a strange silver-scaled fish dwells in its empty eye sockets, its gills opening and closing with a tinkling sound like a copper bell.

"Look at the dome."

A glint of starlight condensed at Li Yunjing's fingertip.

Under the dim light, the entire glass barrier was covered with vein-like cracks, and most terrifyingly, countless pearls were embedded in those cracks.

Each pearl contains a distorted human face, which appears and disappears as the light shifts.

"what is this?"

Xu Xun was startled; he hadn't seen anything like this the last time he came here.

"Hehe! What 'Water God Palace'? I think it's more like 'Water Demon Palace'!"

Li Yunjing sneered as he pressed down on the constantly vibrating "Mysterious Heaven Compass".

"Look again!"

Li Yunjing then pointed to an open space.

With a "whoosh," a deep pit collapsed three zhang to their right, and at the bottom of the pit were piled up hundreds of jade-like skeletons.

All the corpses remained in a worshipful posture, and in the center of their kneeling position, a bronze sword covered with coral-like crystals was slowly oozing scarlet droplets.

"Fuck!"

Xu Xun's face turned pale; he even wondered if this was an illusion!

Last time he came in, on the outskirts of the "Water God Palace", he didn't sense that there were so many strange places at all!

Of course, even as a cultivator with top-tier talent, he still felt a vague unease.

However, at the time, Xu Xun thought it was because he had witnessed the conspiracy between the people of "Tianluo Daozong" and "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" that he felt nervous.

Now, he seemed to understand where this unease came from.

“Let’s go! Take me to the place where we saw the people from the Tianluo Dao Sect and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce last time.”

Li Yunjing coldly glanced at the surrounding environment, deciding against exploring it and instead focusing on finding the presence of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" members first.

As for why they didn't capture the aura of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" members?
That's because the "Tianluo Dao Sect" is a behemoth sect of the Xuanmen, and such sects have many secret techniques that can erase their traces, making them difficult to deal with!
Li Yunjing had no interest in abandoning the easy tasks and instead focused on tackling the more difficult ones.

"it is good!"

Xu Xun nodded, looked around to confirm the direction, and then took the lead and flew out.

Li Yunjing, however, lagged behind Xu Xun by two body lengths, carefully scanning his surroundings to make sure he wouldn't be ambushed by the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

Meanwhile, in another direction, a group of people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" were seeking entry into the "Water God Palace"...

They were unaware that people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had appeared on the other side.

When Xu Xun led Li Yunjing to the back of the "Water God Palace", they stopped outside a small valley.

"right here!"

Xu Xun secretly transmitted his voice.

Li Yun nodded, looked at the terrain of the valley, and began to study the feng shui.

Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly and lightly traced a line on the "Mysterious Heaven Compass" with his fingertip. Nine intersecting golden lines immediately appeared on the surface of the compass, subtly echoing the terrain of the valley.

He whispered, "What a brilliant 'Hidden Dragon Drinking from the Stream' formation!"

The valley is surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, resembling a coiled dragon, while a dark stream meanders out from the valley entrance, its water as dark as ink, truly a scene of "a dragon drinking from a cold spring".

Nine natural bluestones are scattered along the stream, seemingly chaotic, but actually correspond to the positions of the nine stars of the Big Dipper. Wisps of spiritual mist seep from the cracks in the stones, condensing into translucent chain shapes under the water.

This is an ancient restriction on the "Star Lock Dragon Vein".

"what?"

Xu Xun followed his gaze and found that the surface of the bluestone was covered with fine holes. Whenever the mountain wind swept by, it would emit a low whistling sound, like the roar of a dragon.

He just couldn't understand it at all!
I couldn't understand what Li Yunjing was saying either!
This made Xu Xun feel somewhat aggrieved!

His cultivation was inferior to Li Yunjing's, and his knowledge was even less than Li Yunjing's. At this moment, he was simply a fool, unable to understand anything!

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing sneered and offered no explanation.

This place is very strange. The entire valley is barren, except for a single dead coral tree standing alone in the middle of the stream. Seven rusted bronze bells hang from its branches, and the clappers are actually miniature dragon sculptures.

"The Water God Palace used the 'Nine Stars Locking Dragon' to cut off the earth's veins and the 'Dragon Bell Suppressing Soul' to suppress the array's core."

A talisman flew out from Li Yunjing's sleeve. Before it even reached the sky above the stream, it suddenly burst into flames, and the ashes condensed into the shape of a struggling little dragon.

"This feng shui layout has been altered at least three times."

He suddenly fell silent, the compass needle pointing wildly towards the coral tree.

The stream there reflected an eerie glow, yet strangely, it couldn't reflect the two people's shadows.

Xu Xun felt a chill run down his spine after hearing what Li Yunjing said.

"Damn it! The people from 'Seven Star Palace' are real monsters!"

Xu Xun cursed inwardly.

The last time, when he was being chased by people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce", he was even in an extremely tense situation, but he was never this afraid.
Now, Li Yunjing's few rambling words have disturbed my peace of mind!
Of course, Xu Xun also trusted Li Yunjing's judgment. After all, Li Yunjing was the head steward of the "Seven Star Palace" and the future boss!

How could someone like that not be very skilled?
A master of array formations is also a master of feng shui!

There's no doubt about Li Yunjing's abilities!
"Brother Xu, you were really lucky last time. You managed to get into this place and survive!"

Li Yunjing looked at Xu Xun with a half-smile, and before he could speak, he continued, "It's all thanks to your good fortune that the elder of the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' became your scapegoat! Otherwise, you would be finished!"

"Forehead……"

After Li Yunjing said that, Xu Xun seemed to understand what was going on, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He instinctively touched it with his hand.

"Then what do we do?"

Xu Xun asked.

Li Yunjing's lips curled up slightly, and he ran his fingertip across the "Mysterious Heaven Compass," causing the surface of the compass to immediately shimmer with a deep blue spiritual pattern.

He said in a low voice, "No matter how inauspicious the feng shui arrangement is, it cannot escape the principle of yin and yang and their mutual generation and restraint."

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and seven ancient bronze coins flew out, accurately embedding themselves in the seven empty spaces among the nine blue stones by the stream.

In an instant, the ground trembled slightly.

The howling wind suddenly stopped, and the withered coral tree in the middle of the stream slowly oozed a dark red liquid, like tears of blood.

"break!"

Li Yunjing pointed his finger, and the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" spun in the air, a golden light shooting straight into the stream beneath the coral tree.

The water suddenly boiled, and the reflected light distorted and deformed. Finally, with a crisp "snap," it was as if some invisible shackle had been broken.

The reflection in the stream finally revealed the figures of the two people clearly, but strangely enough, beneath their feet was a dragon-shaped shadow entangled in chains!
"go!"

Li Yunjing grabbed Xu Xun and jumped into the stream.

Unexpectedly, they did not sink into the water; instead, it was as if they passed through a thin mist, and the scene before them suddenly changed.

The once desolate valley has vanished, replaced by a half-collapsed ancient altar. A deep blue pearl floats on the altar, its surface seemingly surging with tides and emitting a low, deep-sea-like murmur.
