Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

A small boat glides swiftly across the vast ocean at low altitude.

Occasionally, mysterious creatures would swim by underwater, or low-level monsters would spit out a couple of water arrows.

Wei Fang didn't even glance at them. He used his divine sense to steer the flying boat while keeping his eyes fixed on the sea chart in his hand.

At this moment, his body was filled with profound spiritual energy, and his eyes occasionally flashed with spiritual light, showing that his cultivation had greatly improved.

"Sigh, the initial peak. There's always a fine line between the early and middle stages. Staying in the sect won't bring any progress. I'll have to go to Tianxing City eventually, it's just that I'm doing it earlier."

Wei Fang casually tossed two fireballs below the flying boat to scare away the low-level monsters that were leaping up, then put away the sea chart and focused on continuing on his journey.

In fact, taking a mortal's cargo ship from the waters near Kuixing Island to Tianxing City is undoubtedly the most comfortable way.

Because the shipbuilding technology here incorporates special formations, the speed is also quite fast.

We are not afraid of ordinary winds and waves.

However, Wei Fang possessed a relatively detailed nautical chart from the sect, coupled with his curiosity about exploring the outside world.

They then proceeded slowly, stopping frequently, intending to spend several months making their way to Tianxing City.

After all, there won't be many days when the inner sea is calmer than it is now. If we don't get some experience, going to the outer sea later will just be suicide.

That night, Wei Fang was meditating in a hollow of a large tree on an island, recovering his spiritual energy.

This place is less than 50,000 li away from Tianxing City.

It will take at most another month to arrive.

Three months of rain and sun had made Wei Fang's face much more solemn.

The blue brocade robes worn by the monks inside the gate had long since been replaced with grey robes and a grey coat.

The most striking thing about him was that he looked disheveled and dirty.

This was obviously done intentionally by Wei Fang.

The sect disciple, dressed cleanly with a bulging storage bag at his waist, looked like a fat sheep.

It would be a disservice to God's blessings not to pull off this heist.

Although Wei Fang was somewhat confident in his methods, he was unwilling to commit unnecessary killings.

The only time I took action was last month when I encountered a few demonic cultivators who killed anyone they saw, one of whom was even in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Wei Fang was spotted while passing by and was chased for over a hundred miles.

Unable to shake off Wei Fang, he had no choice but to fight him.

Finally, a fireball spell purified it.

All they got were a little over three hundred spirit stones and a few high-grade and mid-grade magic artifacts.

All I can say is that these people are truly ruthless, and truly poor.

As the moon rose high, Wei Fang lay on a branch of a large tree gazing into the distance for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh softly, "The moon is quite beautiful tonight, so big and round. It's a pity I don't have a little monkey."

Just as they were about to hide in a tree hole for the night before setting off again, they suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the center of the island, accompanied by a faint demonic aura.

"A monster on the island? And it's hidden so well?"

Wei Fang cast a spell to conceal his presence and secretly used his Swiftness Technique to sneak towards the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

After speeding for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wei Fang quietly parted the bushes in front of him to peek through the gap that allowed him to see.

But then a suppressed roar came from ahead, accompanied by a rolling wave of demonic energy.

It was a red dragon!

"Hiss! It's actually a Crimson Fire Dragon! There are actually dragons in this Inner Star Sea." Wei Fang couldn't help but be shocked.

"This aura is fluctuating in strength... Is it evolving? No, that's not right. This is... childbirth?"

Wei Fang was surprised. Aren't all dragons oviparous? How come they're mammals?

None of the biographies in this sect mention it, and even in the original work, most of the spirit insects and demonic beasts are basically oviparous.

Little did he know that the dragons of the Chaotic Star Sea faced immense difficulties in hatching, making it extremely challenging for young dragons to emerge into the world.

Over time, a very small number of dragons evolved this bloodline talent that emerged from their internal shells.

They are already extremely rare, and because baby dragons are bathed in the bloodline energy of their mothers, they are often much stronger than their peers from birth.

Some dragons are unaware that they possess this talent.

And the choice of this type of viviparous birth is even rarer.

Therefore, those who are not well-informed would not know any information at all.

"What should I do? This dragon's aura is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. When it's strong, it even has the aura of a level six demon beast. My concealment technique probably detected me long ago. If I turn around and leave now, it probably won't have time to pay attention to me."

Wei Fang decided to retreat, and slowly backed away, preparing to leave this place of trouble.

Unexpectedly, their eyes met by chance.

"wrong!"

Wei Fang broke out in a cold sweat. "A demonic beast comparable to the Core Formation stage, and it's a dragon-like creature. Even if my innate spiritual sense is twice as strong as others of the same level, I can only reach the late Foundation Establishment stage at most."

"This concealment technique is just an ordinary spell and it's impossible for it to hide from a Core Formation stage demon beast. It might discover me as soon as I land on the island."

"The reason nothing happened before was either because it was at its weakest and unable to move easily, or it was preparing to devour me as a powerful tonic after giving birth to replenish its losses."

"This beast can no longer conceal its demonic aura; it seems we've reached a critical moment. I wonder when it will recover seven or eight tenths of its strength."

"Even if I can escape hundreds of miles in this short time, it will only take a little effort for them to catch up. Unless I can escape a thousand or two miles in an hour or two, it will be impossible for me to shake them off."

Thinking of this, Wei Fang felt a chill run down his spine and muttered, "And that glance just now... wasn't he judging where to start biting?"

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Wei Fang was a decisive person; once he made a decision, he didn't hesitate for a moment.

Based on the previous situation, this demon must have reached the most critical moment, otherwise it would have been impossible for Wei Fang to have been on the island for almost a day before the demon's aura spread and he could sense it.

Wei Fang launched his attack in the hazy moment of the moonlight.

"This demon's aura is unstable; at most, it can only unleash the strength of a pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivator. A desperate fight might still offer a chance of victory."

"It's fortunate that I bought this Azure Rain Needle Talisman on Tuli Island beforehand, otherwise my attacks would have been completely unable to penetrate this demon's body, which is comparable to a magic weapon."

"Well, I originally intended to use it to save my life when I was adventuring in the outer space, so it's perfect for use here."

"Aww...!"

Although the deafening roar lasted only a brief moment, the powerful demonic energy it emitted was still terrifying.

The demon had already detected the attack the moment Wei launched it.

Wei Fang felt a bitter taste in his mouth; it seemed a fierce battle was inevitable.

Powered by the spiritual energy of the Wood Flame True Technique, the Luo Yun Sword and the Fire Profound Pendant transformed into two halos of light that rapidly spun around Wei Fang's body.

As Wei Fang formed hand seals, the Luo Yun Sword transformed into several beams of light behind him, constantly emitting radiance as spiritual energy fluctuated.

"go!"

The sword light struck the Crimson Fire Dragon, producing a clanging sound of steel clashing. Clearly, it failed to break through its defenses, something Wei Fang had anticipated.

With a series of magical incantations, Wei Fang activated the Flaming Jade Pendant with all his might. As his magical power surged, a hazy red light enveloped his body, forming a protective shield that firmly covered him.

The Fire Jade Pendant moved around him like a swimming fish.

Looking at the huge creature in front of them, its terrifying aura was incomparable to those low-level demonic beasts, exuding a chilling and menacing aura.

But this moment, with his limited mobility, is the best opportunity.

Wei Fang gritted his teeth and unleashed a three-foot-long sword light from the Luo Yun Sword in his hand. The man and the beast then engaged in a fierce battle in the basin of the island.
