Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 688 Crossing the East Sea, the Power of a Divine Transformation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The once clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, and huge waves thousands of feet high rose on the sea.

Amidst the towering waves, a hundred-foot-long azure dragon coiled up, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on the spaceship!

"A fifth-tier dragon!"

The deck was in complete chaos.

The spaceship's protective array was fully activated, and dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, each wielding a magical treasure, stood ready for battle.

"Attention everyone! Prepare for battle!"

An elderly man at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm stood at the bow of the ship, his voice booming like a bell.

He is the commander of the guards for the "Treasure Pavilion" on this voyage, and he is currently directing the defense with all his might.

Li Yunjing's gaze turned serious. He was about to retreat back into the cabin when he saw Ye Wuhen standing behind him.

"interesting……"

Ye Wuhen stared at the dragon, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "This is no ordinary dragon; it carries the bloodline aura of the dragon royal family!"

"what?"

Li Yunjing was startled. "Could it be that the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' has been inefficient in its work and has really left behind a hidden danger?"

"Boom!"

Before the words were finished, the dragon suddenly let out a deafening roar and slammed its giant tail into the sea!

A three-thousand-foot-high wall of water rose from the ground and slammed down on the spaceship!

"Formation!"

The guard commander shouted, and dozens of cultivators simultaneously created a massive spiritual energy barrier in front of the spaceship.

"boom!"

The water wall collided with the barrier, unleashing a deafening roar.

The spaceship shook violently, and many low-level cultivators were shaken so badly that they coughed up blood.

"This can't go on, the airship won't last much longer!"

Li Yunjing steadied himself, his face extremely grim: "The combat power of a dragon at the Nascent Soul stage is too strong."

Demonic energy surged in Ye Wuhen's eyes: "Brother Li, how about pulling off something big?"

"What do you mean?"

"This dragon has the bloodline of a true dragon!"

Ye Wuhen licked his lips. "If we could extract his essence blood, it would be of great benefit to us all!"

Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat: "Are you confident?"

"If we were on land, I would be 30% sure."

Ye Wuhen sneered, "But at sea... it has the advantage of terrain, but at most it has a ten percent chance."

"Of course, things are different now. There are more than twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the 'Treasure Pavilion' here, along with a dozen or so passengers. With us added in, even if we can't crush it, we can severely injure it."

He changed the subject and said so.

Just as the two were discussing, the dragon launched another attack.

This time, it directly emitted a beam of cyan light, instantly piercing through the airship's protective shield!
"Crack!"

A large hole was blasted into the left side of the ship, and more than a dozen cultivators died on the spot.

"Form the Big Dipper Formation!"

The guard commander roared, and the seven Nascent Soul cultivators instantly shifted positions, forming a mysterious formation.

Seven dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, weaving together in the void to form a vast net of stars, descending upon the dragon.

"Form the Myriad Treasures Demon-Subduing Formation!"

The other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were not to be outdone, and they all took to the air, each of them unleashing ten or eight fourth-tier magic treasures!

"Boom!"

The more than twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of "Treasure Pavilion" were incredibly fierce, unleashing at least two hundred fourth-tier magic treasures to bombard the fifth-tier dragon!
This scene deeply shocked everyone.

Including powerful figures like Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen!
“So rich!”

At this moment, only these four words were in Li Yunjing's mind!
"Kill! Fellow Daoists, let's also help the people of 'Treasure Gathering Pavilion'! Let's form the 'Nine Palaces Formation'!"

Many passengers realized what was happening and, under the guidance of some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, quickly set up a standard formation.

With so many experts involved, this formation is quite powerful.

Moreover, it is a universal formation used in the cultivation world, requiring no practice. It is extremely simple for everyone, allowing them to immediately unleash their full combat power.

Li Yunjing and the other three exchanged glances. Apart from Zhao Qi and Su Muqing, who stayed on the ship due to their weak cultivation, Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen participated in the "Nine Palaces Formation".

Li Yunjing entered the formation, immediately found his position, and unhesitatingly unleashed the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal".

In an instant, thunderclouds gathered across the sky, and nine streaks of purple-gold lightning, like silver snakes, struck down, colliding with the star net and simultaneously slamming into the dragon.

"Roar……"

The dragon roared in pain, its tail sweeping across the battlefield, turning three Nascent Soul cultivators who couldn't dodge in time into a bloody mist.

It opened its mouth and spewed out a sky full of blue flames, which even scorched and distorted the void.

"Watch out for dragon's breath!"

Ye Wuhen's demonic energy surged, transforming into a black barrier that stood in front of everyone.

The azure flames collided with the demonic energy, producing a hissing, corrosive sound.

"Fellow Daoists, follow me to attack its Achilles' heel!"

An elderly man with white hair, carrying two swords on his back, let out a long roar, and the sword light flashed like a rainbow as he aimed straight for the dragon's throat.

More than ten Nascent Soul cultivators attacked simultaneously, their various magical treasures illuminating half the sky.

"It's really courting death!"

The dragon's eyes flashed with ferocity, its scales suddenly stood up, and countless water arrows shot out from the sea.

Amidst screams, two more Nascent Soul cultivators were pierced through the chest, their blood staining the sky.

"Damn it!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and made hand seals, pushing the Shenxiao Dao within his body to its limit.

He held the object in his hands, and a giant sword made entirely of lightning slowly took shape.

"Brother Ye, lend me a hand!"

Ye Wuhen understood and slapped Li Yunjing on the back, continuously injecting pure demonic energy.

The lightning sword gradually became stained with dark demonic patterns, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

"go with!"

Li Yunjing pushed with both arms, and the Demonic Lightning Sword shot through the air.

The dragon seemed to sense something and hastily spat out its natal dragon pearl to defend itself.

"Boom!"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the Dragon Ball.

The dragon howled as it plunged into the sea, creating a towering wave.

The entire spaceship was tilted at nearly 45 degrees, and countless cargoes plunged into the raging waves.

"It's now!"

The guard commander seized the opportunity and produced an ancient bronze mirror.

"Chichichi..."

A beam of blazing white light shot out from the mirror, instantly evaporating the seawater wherever it passed.

The dragon's back was pierced, and blood gushed out like a waterfall.

"kill!"

Upon seeing this, more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators unleashed their strongest killing moves.

Flying swords, talismans, and magical artifacts rained down, creating a massive whirlpool a hundred miles in diameter on the sea surface.

In the sky, the colors were dazzling and colorful.

Amidst the myriad divine lights, however, lay endless dangers, as all the Nascent Soul realm experts were engaged in a life-or-death battle.

Nobody will get away with this beast until he dies!
Just when everyone thought victory was assured, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, a blinding blood-red light shone from the seabed. The dragon's body swelled up within the blood-red light, its broken horns regenerated, and its aura became three times more terrifying than before!
"Oh no! It's burning the bloodline of a true dragon!"

Ye Wuhen's expression changed drastically. "Retreat immediately!"

But it was too late.

The dragon roared to the sky, and the seawater within a radius of a thousand miles suddenly boiled, turning into countless waterspouts that shot into the sky.

The entire sky was stained blood-red, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Form a defensive array!"

The commander of the guards was furious, his eyes blazing with rage. He spun the bronze mirror in his hand wildly, creating layers of light curtains around the spaceship.

"The Nascent Soul Realm is indeed powerful; even with so many people attacking, they can still fight back!"

Li Yunjing was greatly shocked. He saw that all the scales on the dragon's body stood up, and ancient runes appeared on each scale.

Under its control, the seawater transformed into countless sharp blades, sweeping in from all directions.

"Puff puff……"

The defensive light barrier was pierced in dozens of places in an instant, and the three Nascent Soul cultivators were unable to dodge in time and were torn apart by the water blades on the spot.

Blood mingled with the rain, staining the deck a glaring scarlet red.

Fortunately, the three people's nascent souls escaped and were protected by the others.

"Beast!"

Nearly ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were severely injured, some dying and others wounded. The white-haired swordsman roared and unleashed a hundred-foot-long sword beam with his two swords combined.

However, the dragon merely flicked its tail, and the sword light shattered like glass.

"Fellow Daoists, today it's either it dies or we all perish!"

The guard commander bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the bronze mirror.

The mirror suddenly shone brightly, shooting out a beam of light about ten feet in diameter.

Seeing this, more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators followed suit.

In an instant, the essence of blood of various colors intertwined in the air, and the power of all the magical treasures increased several times over.

Without hesitation, Li Yunjing bit his finger and drew a blood talisman on the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

"Boom!"

The giant thunder sword condensed once more, this time its blade crackling with crimson lightning.

"kill!"

Ye Wuhen also summoned a jet-black demonic blade, its edge wreathed in raging demonic flames. "A fight to the death!"

With a roar, all the attacks simultaneously slammed into the dragon.

The sky was torn open with dark cracks, and the sea surface sank into a huge bowl shape.

Instead of retreating, the dragon advanced, spitting out a beam of blood-red light.

The moment the two forces collided, the entire sea became still.

"Boom!!!"

The next moment, a deafening explosion rang out, and the shockwave swept across a radius of thousands of miles.

The spaceship's protective shield shattered instantly, and the hull was thrown hundreds of feet away.

"puff……"

Li Yunjing felt as if he had been struck in the chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

When the smoke cleared, everyone was horrified to find that although the dragon was covered in wounds, it still stood proudly in the air.

As for the human cultivators, nearly half of them had collapsed and were unable to get up.

"It's over!"

A young monk looked on with despair.

"Everyone! Quickly lend me a hand! I have a powerful formation that can fight this beast!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yunjing had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, everyone was startled and instinctively looked at him.

Their eyes were filled with doubt!
A mere Golden Core cultivator?
"Don't look down on me, everyone. This is my friend, a grandmaster of array formations!"

Seeing that everyone was suspicious, Ye Wuhen shouted angrily.

Just as everyone hesitated, Li Yunjing took out a set of array flags from his storage ring.

He made hand seals, and seventy-two array flags rose in the wind, instantly forming a profound array that covered an area of ​​ten miles.

"Everyone, quickly enter the core of the formation!"

Li Yunjing shouted in a deep voice, his hands constantly changing hand seals, "This is the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Formation,' which requires the joint activation of thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators!"

"What are you doing standing still?"

Ye Wuhen was the first to leap into the formation, taking the Tian Shu position: "Do you want to die?"

The guard commander gritted his teeth: "Listen to him!"

After saying that, he led the remaining cultivators into the formation.

"You think a mere formation can defeat me, the Emperor?"

The dragon seemed to sense the danger and roared as it pounced.

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he clasped his hands together abruptly: "Activate!"

"boom……"

The grand formation was activated instantly, and thirty-six golden rays shot into the sky, weaving together into a giant net that blotted out the heavens.

In areas where there were no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, many Golden Core Realm cultivators joined together to act as the core of the formation.

Once this grand formation was set up, each ray of golden light was connected to a Nascent Soul cultivator, continuously channeling the spiritual energy within their bodies into the formation.

"Thunder Condensed!"

Li Yunjing roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

A vast power coursed through Li Yunjing's body, starting from his dantian and flowing through his meridians, concentrating all the power in his arms!

He felt like he was about to explode.

If you close your eyes and look inward, you can almost see your own flesh and blood disappearing, turning into streams of flowing lightning power.

This is progressing towards the minor completion of the Thunder God Body!

With the help of the formation and the combined power of all the experts, Li Yunjing enhanced his own condition, and his body emitted a "boom" sound.

Endless bursts of electricity erupted around Li Yunjing, their area slowly expanding.

A moment later, a sea of ​​lightning surged in all directions, every inch of the void filled with purple lightning and blinding flashes of light, accompanied by thunderous explosions.

The fifth-order dragon that rushed up was immediately bombarded by the sky full of lightning as it entered the sea of ​​lightning!
"Retreat immediately, and we'll call a truce. Otherwise, you'll surely die today!"

Li Yunjing's icy voice rang in everyone's ears.

After he finished speaking, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The next moment, the lightning bolt transformed into a hundred-foot-long lightning spear.

The spear was crackling with purple-gold lightning, radiating an aura of world-destroying power.

Even more astonishingly, a wisp of black demonic flame flickered at the tip of the spear.

That was the Netherworld Demonic Fire that Ye Wuhen had infused!

In addition, the spear also possesses various different elemental powers, all of which originate from the power of numerous Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!

"go with!"

With Li Yunjing's command, the thunder spear shot out into the air.

Wherever it passed, space shattered, revealing dark void cracks.

"This is bad! This person already possesses the power of the Nascent Soul realm!"

The dragon was greatly alarmed and hastily spat out its dragon pearl to defend itself.

This time, however, the dazzling lightning almost destroyed everything!
"Crack!"

The Dragon Ball shattered with a crack!

The lightning spear continued its momentum, piercing straight through the dragon's chest!
"Ow..."

A mournful dragon roar echoed through the sky.

The dragon's massive body crashed heavily into the sea, its blood instantly staining the surface of the sea for hundreds of miles around.

"Now!"

As the lightning dissipated, Li Yunjing's figure was revealed. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, yet he still struggled to maintain the great formation. "One more strike!"

"it is good!"

The cultivators were greatly encouraged and, ignoring the excruciating pain in their meridians, frantically poured their remaining spiritual energy into the formation.

The second lightning spear quickly materialized, becoming even more solid and terrifying than before.

"Damn it! These ants hurt me!"

The dragon struggled to get up, only to find the lightning spear already upon it!
"Boom!"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, half of the dragon's body was blasted to pieces.

"This cannot continue! Otherwise, I risk my very survival!"

It let out a mournful cry of despair, dragged its mangled body into the deep sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The sea gradually calmed down, leaving only floating dragon blood as proof of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

As the great formation dissipated, all the cultivators stood bowing in the void, their faces deathly pale.

Li Yunjing coughed up a mouthful of blood and nearly fainted.

"My husband! (Fellow Daoist Li)"

Zhao Qi and Su Muqing noticed Li Yunjing's condition immediately and rushed forward to support him, channeling pure vital energy into him.

"Fellow Daoist, your great kindness is something we at Jubaolou will never forget!"

The guard commander staggered over and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "If it weren't for your heroic efforts, fellow Daoist, we would all be dead today!"

"We are in the same boat."

Li Yunjing weakly waved his hand: "It's what I should do..."

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry!"

The commander handed over a pill, saying, "This is the 'Eternal Spring Pill,' which can help you restore your vitality. You will be richly rewarded upon returning to the 'Treasure Pavilion'!"

"polite!"

Li Yunjing didn't say much. With the help of Zhao Qi and Su Muqing, he returned to his room and went into seclusion to practice his internal energy cultivation.

After this thrilling battle with the dragon, the "Treasure Pavilion" spaceship continued its journey. Although...
However, they encountered several sea beast attacks along the way, but compared to a fifth-tier dragon, those were just minor troubles.

On this day, after five years of sailing, the flying boat finally arrived at the central waters of the East China Sea.

Standing on the deck, Li Yunjing gazed at the magnificent scene before him, his heart filled with emotion.

The azure sea stretched as far as the eye could see, the sky was crystal clear, and occasionally a huge sea monster would leap out of the water, stirring up thousands of waves.

What's even more astonishing is that the spiritual energy here is so dense that it's almost like mist, and you can feel your cultivation slowly increasing with every breath.

"As expected of the center of the East China Sea!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath. "The concentration of spiritual energy here is several times stronger than that of the 'Southern Heaven Continent'."

"This is actually the center of 'Tianlan Star'!"

Ye Wuhen stood beside him, his gaze deep: "Further ahead lies the sea area between the 'Tianlan Continent' and the 'Southern Heaven Continent'."

"The Heavenly Demon Sect is just a million miles ahead!"

"To avoid trouble, we should also prepare to disembark."

Ye Wuhen's tone revealed deep concern.

In the East Sea, the human race has only two behemoth sects.

One is the "Heavenly Demon Sect", and the other is the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect".

The "Heavenly Demon Sect" is located closer to the "Tianlan Continent"; while the "Heavenly Luo Dao Sect" is closer to the "Southern Heaven Continent" on the other side.

The two major sects were constantly at odds and fought several battles, during which the "Heavenly Demon Sect" naturally gained some advantages.

However, the "Tianluo Dao Sect" is not to be trifled with, especially since their Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs are extremely protective of their own and often use immortal artifacts to ambush the "Tianmo Sect" Nascent Soul Realm True Persons, and even Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs.

This made the people of the "Heavenly Demon Sect" somewhat afraid of this madman.

Over time, high-level battles ceased between the two sides, and they essentially remained in a state of fighting below the Golden Core realm.

"Very well! We don't have much time left!"

Li Yunjing looked at the sea in front of him and muttered to himself.

Decades have passed.

The mission is finally about to be completed.

Zhao Qi and Su Muqing also came over; both of them had made progress in their cultivation over the past five years.

Zhao Qi, in particular, has already reached the threshold of the fifth level of the Golden Core realm under Li Yunjing's guidance.
