Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 580 The Ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators (Seeking monthly votes)

“The journey of 30,000 li by sea would take an ordinary flying boat half a month, but a Nascent Soul Realm expert could arrive within three days.”

The Five Elements True Man unfolded the "East Sea Map," his fingertip tracing the storm area marked "Island of No Return." "We don't know how many people the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' have, so how many Nascent Soul Realm experts should we send?"

He turned his gaze to Li Yunjing, as if wanting to hear Li Yunjing's opinion.

This is very important!

If too few people are sent, it won't be an ambush, but rather like throwing good money after bad—it'll be gone forever.

If too many people go, "Shenxiao Island" and "East China Sea Alliance" will be left vulnerable, and if they are attacked, it will be a great loss.

This matter has both significant advantages and disadvantages.

If you win, you'll make a fortune; if you lose, you'll be stuck for a long time and won't be able to recover.

"Regarding the number of people, I think we should invite some experts from the 'East China Sea Alliance' to fight. We must make sure we have enough people!"

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then tapped a coral reef group on the map. "This place is called 'Thousand Reefs Abyss,' and its complex terrain makes it suitable for an ambush."

"That's a good plan."

The Five Elements Immortal tapped the edge of the "Eastern Sea Map" with his fingertips, a cold smile suddenly appearing on his face: "Those old foxes from the 'Eastern Sea Alliance,' if they knew they could get a share of the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's' black market channels, they'd probably take the bait. However..."

He stared intently at Li Yunjing. "How much benefit are you planning to offer them?"

"Thirty percent! The other twenty percent will be used as resources for the alliance to reward those who make meritorious contributions in the future!"

Li Yunjing held up three fingers without hesitation, "But the premise is that the forces that send Nascent Soul Realm experts will split the profits 30% equally; those that don't send anyone don't count!"

He paused, then added, "The more Nascent Soul Realm experts a force sends, the more benefits it will receive!"

"Great! This plan is feasible!"

The Five Elements Master clapped his hands and laughed: "You wait! I'll send a message to them right away and discuss it with them!"

As he spoke, the Five Elements True Man took out his "communication talisman" and made an appointment with the Nascent Soul Realm experts on the island to discuss important matters in the "conference hall" later.

Inside the council hall of "Shenxiao Island," candlelight flickered, and twelve bronze lampstands were arranged on both sides, illuminating the pale faces of the people present.

The Five Elements True Man at the head of the group lightly tapped the table, and all ten Nascent Soul Realm True Men from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" arrived, along with eight other Nascent Soul Realm experts from the alliance.

"Gentlemen, I have summoned you all here tonight for a very important matter!"

The Five Elements True Man went straight to the point, and a map of the Eastern Sea flew out from his sleeve and hovered in the air. The location of No Return Island was marked with a blood-red halo. "'Tianluo Dao Sect' and 'Sihai Chamber of Commerce' are colluding to conduct a secret transaction here!"

"The people from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' really have a lot of ideas!"

Master Lei Ze sneered: "Brother Wu Xing, you've summoned us to deal with them, so give the order!"

"Ok?"

After hearing what Master Lei Ze said, the other eight Nascent Soul Realm True Persons of the "East Sea Alliance" were somewhat dissatisfied.

Before they could even understand what was going on, Master Lei Ze was already rushing off to war. Did he think of them as his subordinates?
"You're just so impatient!"

Upon seeing that Master Lei Ze had misspoke, Peak Master Dan Ding coughed and reprimanded, "Everyone should gather together and discuss this properly!"

"Forehead……"

After being reprimanded by the Dan Ding Peak Master, Master Lei Ze immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He looked at everyone apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, everyone! I'm Lei Ze, I'm just a straightforward person, please don't take offense!"

"Where! Where!"

"You're a straightforward person, no wonder! No wonder!"

The group of Nascent Soul Realm experts then softened their stance.

The Water Moon Fairy of "Azure Wave Pavilion" gently waved her fan, covered her mouth and laughed, "Master Lei Ze is indeed short-tempered, but he is also quite straightforward."

Her fingertips brushed across the "Eastern Sea Map," and the shipping routes of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" were reflected in the ripples on the water. "This 'No Return Island' is a supply island in the Eastern Sea. Because of the scarcity of spiritual energy, it has never been occupied by any force."

"Fellow Daoist Wuxing, are you sure they will trade here?"

Master Feiyun raised his objection.

"Of course!"

The Five Elements Master raised his hand to signal for silence, "Previously, our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect's' Heavenly Mystery Master made a move and deduced the location of their transaction through the aura of the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' elders!"

He added, "This is a golden opportunity!"

"If used properly, we can annihilate the high-ranking members of the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' in one fell swoop, relieving the pressure of the upcoming great battle!"

As soon as the Five Elements Master finished speaking, the people in the council hall began to discuss among themselves.

Inside the council chamber, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the various expressions on the faces of the attendees.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxing, this matter is quite risky."

Master Feiyun pondered, “The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has a deep foundation, and the Heavenly Net Dao Sect is even more cunning. If we act rashly, I'm afraid…”

“Brother Feiyun’s concerns are not without merit.”

The Water Moon Fairy of "Azure Wave Pavilion" gently waved her round fan, her eyes sparkling. "But if we can really cut off their trade, we can not only weaken the enemy's strength but also seize resources. Why not?"

"Not bad!"

Master Lei Ze slammed his hand on the table, his voice booming like thunder, "Instead of waiting for them to join forces to attack, we should take the initiative and catch them off guard!"

"If the information is accurate, it is indeed worth making a move!"

The Holy Sound Fairy of the "Holy Sound Cult" also expressed her opinion.

"The advantages of this battle outweigh the disadvantages!"

The Five Elements True Man surveyed the crowd and slowly said, "Everyone, for this operation, our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is willing to send five Nascent Soul Realm experts. I wonder if fellow Daoists of the alliance are willing to join us in this grand undertaking?"

After these words were spoken, the hall fell into a brief silence.

“Since Fellow Daoist Wuxing has spoken, my ‘Azure Wave Pavilion’ will naturally not hold you back.”

Water Moon Fairy was the first to speak, a smile playing on her lips, "I will personally take action, but after it's done, my pavilion will have to take half of the black market channel."

“One of our ‘Flying Cloud Island’ will also emerge.”

Master Feiyun pondered for a moment and said, "But we must ensure that the operation is kept secret and that no word gets out."

Now, the Flying Cloud Sect has gained another Nascent Soul Realm expert.

This person was the Daoist nun who chose the location for Li Yunjing's "Star Moon Trading Company" back then. She was the junior sister of True Person Feiyun. Now, many years have passed, and she has successfully reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

This gave the Flying Cloud Sect more confidence.

"it is good!"

The Five Elements True Man nodded, “If the fellow Daoists of the alliance can gather five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and add them to my five members from the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, the combined strength of ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators will be enough to crush the opponent!”

"In that case, I'll make my move too."

An elderly man with white hair and beard said in a deep voice.

This person is from the Heart Lake Island, and is also a veteran Nascent Soul Realm expert.

"Let my husband and I go too!"

Not giving others a chance, Ji Shuhan also spoke up.

Soon, five of the eight Nascent Soul Realm experts from the "East Sea Alliance" expressed their willingness to fight.

Seeing this, the Five Elements True Man felt reassured and said loudly, "In that case, the ten Nascent Soul Realm experts shall set off immediately, with Li Yunjing in charge of the overall command. We must ensure a fatal blow!"

"what?"

Everyone was startled again and turned their attention to Li Yunjing, who was sitting at the end of the table and had not said a word.

Everyone recognized Li Yunjing, knowing that he was the deputy sect leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and a top young expert. But was it too frivolous to let him lead a battle involving so many Nascent Soul Realm experts?
It should be noted that battles between cultivators often occur unexpectedly.

Once a cultivator surpasses a major realm, their supernatural abilities are unfathomable unless they are of the same level.

Can a Golden Core cultivator understand the methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator?

If he makes a mistake in command, wouldn't that endanger everyone's lives?

"Seniors! Please do not doubt my understanding of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Li Yunjing said with a smile, "Over the years, I have also fought against experts at the Nascent Soul Realm level, and I even witnessed the entire process of two of them falling."

"Really?"

The Water Moon Fairy of "Azure Wave Pavilion" asked in a deep voice.

She did not participate in the formation of the East China Sea Alliance back then, and since "Bibo Pavilion" did not originate from the nearby sea area, she was quite skeptical of Li Yunjing's words.

"of course it's true!"

The Five Elements Master laughed and said, "You don't know, this information was also provided by Li Yunjing! He is a Grandmaster of Heavenly Secrets! Think about it, is the command ability of a Grandmaster of Heavenly Secrets weak?"

"Grandmaster of Heavenly Secrets!"

Upon hearing these four words, all the experts widened their eyes and scrutinized Li Yunjing carefully.

Such a special cultivator is definitely a valuable asset to a sect!
"I never expected that young friend Li is a master of celestial secrets!"

Master Feiyun looked at Li Yunjing with a kind smile, then changed the subject and asked, "How come I've never heard of this before?"

"Hehe! Reporting to Master Feiyun."

Li Yunjing chuckled and said, "Every cultivator has their own secrets. If it weren't for the fact that we hadn't been unable to dispatch a Heavenly Mystery Master from the sect in time, I wouldn't have exposed my identity." "Hmm! That makes sense!"

After listening to Li Yunjing's explanation, Master Feiyun nodded.

This made the others breathe a sigh of relief, and they all felt reassured.

"Alright! Since no one has any objections."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, his fingertip tapping on the "Eastern Sea Map," and a faint light appeared at the location of "Thousand Reefs Abyss." "The terrain here is complex, suitable for an ambush. We can set up a large formation in advance, and once the people from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' enter the ambush, we can surround and kill them all in one fell swoop!"

"Great idea!"

Everyone agreed.

"but……"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened. "To prevent the other side from noticing, we need to arrive there in advance to make arrangements."

"Haha! That's exactly right!"

Master Lei Ze laughed loudly, "The sooner we get there, the more traps we can set up. That way, it will be easier for us to fight against the people from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect'!"

"Yes! That makes sense!"

The others nodded in agreement, acknowledging Li Yunjing's plan.

"Alright! Let's settle on that then."

The Five Elements Master clapped his hands and laughed, "Everyone, hurry up and prepare, let's set off immediately! In three days, we will let the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' know who truly rules the East Sea!"

"it is good!"

Everyone stood up, their eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.

In the night fog of Shenxiao Island port, the Dan Ding Peak Master's Shenxiao Warship broke out of the water like a giant whale.

The fourth-tier warship began to teleport as soon as it left the area of ​​"Shenxiao Island".

"Boom!"

Standing on the deck, Li Yunjing saw the space around the warship suddenly collapse, and in the next instant, everything went black before his eyes, and he could see nothing at all.

This is pure darkness!
There was no light at all, completely different from the darkness of a night.

Almost three breaths later, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up as he saw the starlight again.

He knew that the "Divine Firmament Battleship" had already teleported a hundred miles away.

Such a distance is enough to shake off some of the spies monitoring "Shenxiao Island".

At this moment, the ten Nascent Soul cultivators, some sitting cross-legged to regulate their breathing, others wiping their magical artifacts, all gathered on the deck, none of them choosing to rest.

Everyone took this operation very seriously and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Li Yunjing was also mentally calculating whether the plan was complete and whether it needed to be supplemented.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, would you like to try my newly refined 'Heart-Clearing Pill'?"

The Peak Master of Dan Ding shook the jade bottle. As soon as the pill was poured out, a rich spiritual fragrance dispelled the surrounding mist. "This pill can stabilize your mind. Don't worry too much. With so many of us old guys taking action, no one can do anything to us!"

The Peak Master of Dan Ding was showing concern for Li Yunjing and was specifically trying to help him relax and not be nervous.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

Li Yunjing took the pill and noticed that it had four pill patterns on it. He was shocked. This was a fourth-grade pill!
The Peak Master of Dan Ding is a Grandmaster of Alchemy!

Moreover, he was a grandmaster of alchemy who could refine high-level pills!

This level is far superior to Li Yunjing's.

He nodded his thanks, took the pill, and indeed it worked very well.

In an instant, Li Yunjing's restlessness vanished, and his spirits improved, making him appear radiant.

Moreover, he sensed that this elixir also had the effect of increasing mental strength.

This is far more effective than the "Nourishing Spirit Pill" that Li Yunjing took.

Li Yunjing knew that this kind of pill was also a good thing for the Dan Ding Peak Master, so naturally he wouldn't give him many, and he refrained from asking.

Along the way, the "Shenxiao Warship" constantly used teleportation to travel.

After completing the final teleportation, it slowly floated on the water's surface.

The surrounding area was shrouded in sea fog, and a storm raged in the distance, with lightning and thunder, which was the sea area where "No Return Island" was located.

In another direction, three giant treasure ships flying the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" flag were cutting through the waves. Their hulls were shrouded in concealment arrays, making them extremely difficult to detect unless a Nascent Soul cultivator deliberately probed them.

An elderly man in black robes stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by several elders of the chamber of commerce, their expressions solemn.

"Vice President, this transaction is of great importance. Why was such a dangerous place as 'Island of No Return' chosen?"

A middle-aged monk couldn't help but ask.

"The more dangerous it is, the less likely anyone is to notice."

The old man in black robes sneered: "If we can get our hands on the 'Boundary-Breaking Talisman' that the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' promised us, the Chamber of Commerce will be able to open up the overseas market, and the profits will increase more than tenfold?"

"Sigh... Vice President, do you think the people of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' can keep their promises?"

The elder was still somewhat worried.

"hey-hey!"

The vice president sneered, "Don't worry! The president has already made preparations! If they don't agree to our conditions, we won't fully support the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'! Let's see what they do then!"

As they were talking, the ship suddenly shook!
"what happened?!"

The old man in black robes shouted sternly.

A cultivator rushed in, shouting, "Report! Vice President! A strange undercurrent has appeared in the sea ahead, and our ship... can't move!"

"what?!"

The old man in black robes suddenly changed his expression and swept his divine sense around. He saw that beneath the sea, countless coral reefs rose up like the fangs of a giant beast, trapping the three treasure ships tightly!

"How is this going?"

He roared, and a long, black sword flew out from his sleeve. "Everyone, be on guard!"

Meanwhile, on the seabed, the "Shenxiao Warship" had already locked onto the enemy's three treasure ships.

It turns out that just now, the Supreme Elders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" relied on their profound cultivation and their divine sense being farther away than the other party to discover the people of the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" in the first instant.

The Dan Ding Peak Master immediately urged the "Divine Firmament Warship" to sink into the sea, blocking the enemy's inevitable path.

While waiting, the Dan Ding Peak Master waved his sleeve, and a crimson array plate flew into the sea, silently sinking to the bottom.

A moment later, the seawater within a radius of a hundred miles trembled slightly, countless coral reefs moved slowly as if they were alive, and amidst the surging undercurrents, an invisible array had already taken shape.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

Master Lei Ze grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "These rats really dare to run wild in the East China Sea!"

"Don't worry."

Li Yunjing said in a low voice, "Proceed according to plan, and deal with them slowly!"

"It's done!"

Water Moon Fairy gently stroked her fan and smiled sweetly, "Now, we just wait for them to walk right into our trap."

Sure enough, not long after, the three warships of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" entered this sea area and were blocked by the coral formation below, becoming trapped inside.

Li Yunjing waved his hand: "Let's do it!"

"boom!"

With Li Yunjing's command, ten Nascent Soul level pressures erupted simultaneously. Lei Ze Zhenren was the first to rush out, his palm lightning transforming into a hundred-foot-long giant spear, which cleaved straight at the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" main ship!
"You scum from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, prepare to die!"

Almost instantly, the three treasure ships of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" began to creak and groan as they slowly disintegrated.

"How could there be so many Nascent Soul Realm experts!"

The black-robed elder hastily met the attack, his longsword clashing with the thunder spear, creating a deafening explosion!

However, before he could catch his breath, the Pill Cauldron Peak Master's pill fire transformed into a fire dragon and swept over, instantly burning half of the treasure ship!
"Did the Tianluo Dao Sect betray us?!"

An elder of the chamber of commerce roared in despair.

"idiot!"

Li Yunjing sneered, "If you have someone to blame, blame your insatiable greed!"

With a flick of his sword, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" shot out from his sleeve, unleashing thousands of sword lights that rained down, annihilating all the cultivators who tried to escape!

Water Moon Fairy, stepping on the waves, said with a smile, "Gentlemen, the East Sea is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

“That vile woman from ‘Azure Wave Pavilion’!”

The Nascent Soul cultivators, led by the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce," cursed angrily and used their magic weapons to desperately break through the encirclement. However, True Person Feiyun had already sealed off the sky above, and a "Sea-Suppressing Seal" pressed down, directly blasting them into the seabed!

Ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators against one opponent is an overwhelming advantage!

In just ten breaths, the entire "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" fleet was wiped out, with not a single person surviving.

The ten Nascent Soul Realm experts and Li Yunjing quickly cleaned up the battlefield, erasing all traces of the battle.
