Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

With the Blood Essence Bone Demon Palace for defense and the Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool for sustain, these two top-grade third-tier magic treasures supported him as he fought his way through.

The Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace endured countless attacks from above, and several more layers of blood-red patterns of varying depths appeared on its bone walls.

The Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool consumed a considerable amount of its lightning liquid, which was replenished several times by absorbing lightning from thunderclouds.

Lin Zhao also had doubts.

How could so many demonic beasts be born in this endless sea of ​​demons?

What lies in the deepest part of the Black Sea?

Also, how exactly did the Core Formation cultivators of the human race manage to get through?

With so many cultivators in the Myriad Laws Alliance, are there any Core Formation cultivators who can cross the Black Sea alone?

If other Core Formation cultivators who came to the Black Sea camp knew how he got here, they would probably be dumbfounded.

Although those Core Formation cultivators who came to the Black Sea were elites, none of them could withstand the countless beast tides and fight their way through.

The standard approach is to prepare various methods of concealment in advance, have an experienced veteran lead the team, and follow several relatively safe, fixed routes.

There are also several specially set-up hidden rest points in the middle where you can recover your spiritual power. If you encounter a beast tide, you can hide or go around it if you can.

It takes several years to complete one trip.

How could anyone like Lin Zhao, working tirelessly and relentlessly, fight their way through?

Lin Zhao's course of action remained largely consistent; from the day he entered the Black Sea, he headed towards the Black Sea camp.

They rarely detour when encountering beast tides, and even when facing bloody battles with monsters, they don't dodge but simply crush them.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as a sword cultivator.

After flying for another half month, Lin Zhao arrived at a relatively calm sea area.

According to the information previously released by the All-Laws Alliance, this should be the location of the seventh Black Sea camp.

But he wandered around for several days and found nothing.

Lin Zhao was somewhat puzzled.

I don't know if the camp was too well hidden or if it had been destroyed by the beast tide.

He had also heard that camps in this area were destroyed and rebuilt every year.

Over the past few thousand years, the human race has established hundreds of Black Sea camps, but only a dozen or so have survived and been rebuilt even after being destroyed.

Camp 7 is one of them.

Forget it, I'll look for a few more days.

If you can't find it, go to another campsite.

He refused to believe that all the camps had been destroyed.

Just as he arrived, several third-tier demonic beasts had their eyes on him and kept following him. He had been too lazy to pay attention to them before, but now he would take care of them.

Lin Zhao turned around and rushed towards the four demonic beasts. A short while later, several more demonic beast corpses appeared on the sea.

Hundreds of miles away.

On a barren reef composed of dozens of smooth, black rocks, the portion protruding above the sea is only a few miles in size.

The surface of the reef was cratered and uneven from the sea wind and monsters, making it look like an ordinary barren reef.

But beneath the reef, the interior had long been hollowed out by humans, revealing a vast cave camp.

More than ten Core Formation cultivators live there year-round.

At this moment, several cultivators were gathered around a bronze mirror, a magical artifact, which reflected the scene of the nearby sea.

The movements of every monster in the nearby sea and the fluctuations of every spiritual energy were clearly visible.

When they first discovered Lin Zhao, they thought he was a cultivator from another camp.

But after observing for a while, we ruled that out; the person was just wandering around aimlessly nearby.

And it was just one person.

Monks from outside the Black Sea camp usually travel in groups of two or three, looking out for each other.

Someone who came alone either got separated from the group or has a problem.

They became somewhat wary.

Then, the bronze mirror showed a scene of Lin Zhao fighting with several third-tier demonic beasts.

The swordsman acted swiftly and cleanly, taking less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

An elderly-looking late-stage Core Formation cultivator spoke first: "Where did this hothead come from, coming all by himself?"

A young cultivator who looked to be in his early twenties stared at the bronze mirror, his eyes narrowing: "This guy has such a strong murderous aura; he probably killed his way here."

The group glanced at it a few more times and then fell silent for a while.

It's pretty much a done deal.

Lin Zhao, with his murderous aura, had killed countless demonic beasts along the way.

"Another formidable player has arrived."

The young cultivator shook his head. "He definitely has the strength to be on the Wind and Cloud Ranking."

Only someone of this caliber could break through alone; it's rare, but it's not unprecedented.

Everyone looked at a female cultivator in red armor in the center of the cave.

She was slender and had a cold expression. Her red armor was covered with intricate defensive runes, and a red longsword hung at her waist.

She is the guardian of Camp Seven, with a peak Core Formation cultivation level, and is also a figure on the Ranking of Heroes.

Ranked thirteenth on the popularity list, the Red Silk Sword is Gu Hongling.

She looked at the image in the bronze mirror of Lin Zhao slaying the last demon beast with a single sword strike, and nodded: "You two come with me."

On the black rock reef, Lin Zhao was preparing to leave this area of ​​the sea to check out the next camp when he suddenly noticed something and turned to look to the east.

Three streaks of light flew from the horizon where the sea met the sky. The streaks were not fast, their trajectories were regular, and they did not conceal any spiritual power.

The people who came were human.

The three streaks of light stopped ten miles away.

Two men and one woman.

The one leading the group was a female cultivator wearing red armor; her face was indifferent but she showed no hostility.

Gu Hongling glanced at Lin Zhao, her gaze lingering for a moment on the Azure Lotus Sword at his waist.

Then he raised his hand and showed a token—a palm-sized black token with a tower pattern engraved in the center, the symbol of the Black Sea Camp of the All-Laws Alliance.

Her voice was crisp: "Gu Hongling, the garrison commander of Camp Seven, where did you come from?"

Lin Zhao shook her head: "I came directly from the Inner Sea."

He took out his sixth-tier demon-hunting token from the Myriad Laws Alliance to prove his identity.

She gave the name Qinglian.

Gu Hongling exchanged a glance with the two people behind her.

They had seen the name Azure Lotus Sword Immortal in recent intelligence reports; a newly listed sword cultivator on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, ranked eighteenth.

Being able to fight your way from the Inland Sea into the Black Sea and arrive near the camp, their strength is worthy of this ranking.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go back first."

Gu Hongling turned and flew towards the desolate reef.

Lin Zhao followed them and flew over the black reefs. Gu Hongling landed next to one of the inconspicuous black rocks and pressed her hand on the side of the rock.

A stone door slid open on the surface of the black rock, behind which was a passage leading downwards. Dim spiritual light beads were embedded in the stone walls on both sides of the passage, and the cold white light illuminated the steps leading down.

"We cannot use array formations or restrictions on the water, as it could easily cause unnecessary trouble."

As Gu Hongling walked down, she explained, "The array formations and restrictions are all in the cave below."

She didn't turn around, but her words were blunt: "This array and restriction are also a test. Whether you dare to come in, whether you're human or demon, we'll know after a test."

Lin Zhao didn't say anything and followed him downstairs.

He's human, so there's nothing he wouldn't dare to do. As for whether it's a trap or not, the fourth-tier magic weapon in his hand isn't something to be trifled with.
