Seven days later, the morning sun painted the sky red as the first rays of sunlight rose in the east.

Yu Daoxuan walked out of the cave with a smile and headed towards the sword-forging platform at the top of Xuri Peak with Song Yunshu.

The Sword Refining Platform is where the disciples of the Qingyuan Sect practice their swordsmanship on a daily basis. The area is spacious and can accommodate hundreds of disciples to practice their swordsmanship at the same time.

At this moment, more than a hundred disciples were waiting on the platform. As Yu Daoxuan saw familiar faces along the way, he bowed and greeted them.

"Senior Brother Hong!"

Upon seeing Hong Yongning, Yu Daoxuan immediately led Song Yunshu forward to greet him.

Hong Yongning noticed the former's breakthrough in cultivation and congratulated him with a smile: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Yu! I didn't expect that you would have broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining in just a few days. This is truly a cause for celebration."

"A lucky breakthrough!"

Yu Daoxuan smiled slightly.

Hong Yongning reminded them, "Junior Brother Yu, Junior Sister Song, Misty Hidden Island is rife with miasma and poisonous creatures. Could you please prepare some antidotes?"

"Thank you for reminding me, senior brother. I'm all ready."

The three discussed matters concerning Misty Island, and soon more and more disciples from the sect arrived.

Yu Daoxuan glanced around and found that most of the visitors were outer disciples at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, while there were only a dozen or so inner disciples at the late-stage of Qi Refining.

Before long, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and three Foundation Establishment cultivators sped through the air.

The leader was a male cultivator in a gold-embroidered robe, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes; he was none other than He Yiming.

To his left was a man in a blue robe, tall and straight with sharp eyes, exuding a free and fierce aura, and possessing the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

On the right is a graceful female cultivator, who appears to be around thirty years old. She has a beautiful face and delicate features, and her light green dress flutters in the wind. She is also at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

All the disciples bowed and paid their respects.

Some of the younger female disciples, in particular, looked at He Yiming with shining eyes and full of admiration.

He Yiming possesses a high-grade spiritual root and has reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment at the young age of fifty.

If he doesn't perish along the way, he is very likely to break through to the Purple Mansion realm in the future, hence his great fame within the sect, earning him the title of one of the Five Masters of Qingyuan.

Upon seeing that all his disciples had arrived, He Yiming immediately instructed some of his inner disciples to distribute the promised ten spirit stones and a teleportation talisman to each of them.

After distributing the gifts, he said loudly, "Thank you all for your help, fellow disciples. Please be careful on this trip to Misty Island and prioritize safety."

After saying that, he patted his storage bag, and a flash of blue light appeared. A small blue boat swelled in the wind and transformed into a spirit boat about ten feet long, which floated in mid-air.

The ship's hull was covered with runes, indicating it was a second-tier spirit ship.

The other two Foundation Establishment senior uncles also took out a second-tier spirit ship each.

"All fellow disciples, please board the ship!"

He Yiming's voice was as loud as a bell.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples moved in unison and flew towards the three spirit ships.

Once everyone was in place, He Yiming made a hand seal, and the spirit ship emitted a deep blue spiritual light, flying like an arrow towards Misty Island thousands of miles away.

On the ship, Yu Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the location of the sect.

As the spirit ship pierced the sky, the Qingyuan Mountain Range, where the Qingyuan Sect was located, became increasingly smaller in the field of vision.

At first, you can still see pavilions and terraces scattered throughout the mountains.

Once high in the sky, the entire mountain appeared as a tiny black dot, completely disappearing from sight.

"..."

Misty Island is more than 5,000 li away from Qingyuan Sect, located in the Tongtian Misty Sea.

The Tongtian Mist Sea is located in the southwestern sea area of ​​Nanming Continent. It is vast and boundless, teeming with demonic beasts, and ordinary cultivators dare not venture into it easily.

Yu Daoxuan and his group piloted a second-tier spirit ship and flew for more than a day before finally arriving near the Tongtian Mist Sea.

Looking into the distance, the clouds and mist surged and shrouded the sky.

Beneath the clouds and mist, islands of all sizes are scattered like stars.

For human cultivators, the Tongtian Mist Sea is both a dangerous place and a treasure trove for obtaining cultivation resources.

Many demonic beasts are treasures from head to toe; their demon cores can be used to refine elixirs, and their fur and blood are excellent materials for drawing talismans.

As for the essence of demonic beasts, it is a valuable raw material for refining magical artifacts and spiritual weapons.

In addition, many spiritual herbs grow on the islands within the Misty Sea, which cultivators can harvest to refine pills and aid in their cultivation.

Therefore, cultivators can be seen coming and going on the islands at the edge of the Tongtian Mist Sea year-round, in order to obtain various resources needed for cultivation.

After flying for more than an hour at the edge of the Sea of ​​Fog, the group finally arrived above Fog Hidden Island.

Misty Island is a spiritual island on the northern edge of the Tongtian Misty Sea. The island has continuous mountain ranges, where monsters roam and spiritual plants grow everywhere.

Yu Daoxuan gazed into the distance and saw towering peaks ahead, like a majestic barrier standing guard on the turbulent sea.

As the sun set, the fading rays of the setting sun painted the entire Misty Island with a magnificent and breathtaking spectacle.

"Disciples, proceed according to plan. Once you discover any trace of the Moon Shell, immediately activate the communication talisman."

The spirit ship slowly landed in front of an entrance to Misty Island. He Yiming stood at the bow, his voice clear and resolute, carrying an unquestionable authority.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone agreed and formed a team to enter the mountains.

Yu Daoxuan, Song Yunshu, and Hong Yongning had already agreed beforehand that the three of them would form a team to enter the mountain.

Cultivators frequently enter Misty Island to gather herbs or hunt demons for treasure, so many spiritual herbs on the outer edge of the mountain range have already been harvested.

At the same time, very few traces of monsters were seen in the foothills and edge areas.

When the three first entered the mountains, they traveled without incident.

But as they went deeper, the fog in the mountains became increasingly thick.

Yu Daoxuan felt his vision was suppressed, and the visible area suddenly shrank to about one zhang in radius.

"Junior Brother Yu, Junior Sister Song, we are approaching the central region of Misty Island."

"There are many monsters in this area, so quickly take out your magical artifacts and be prepared to defend yourselves."

As a cultivator from the family, Hong Yongning was knowledgeable and experienced from a young age, so he spoke up to remind him.

After speaking, he took the lead in presenting a blue-patterned flying sword and a yellow flag, both of which were top-grade magic weapons.

As the flag unfurled, a hazy yellow light rippled outwards, enveloping him within it.

Song Yunshu held a white flying sword and a white brocade handkerchief in her hand.

Yu Daoxuan then took out the Crimson Fire Sword and the Silver Shield to protect himself.

He had his own little scheme in mind, so he took the initiative to walk at the front and clear the way, which moved Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning behind him.

It's important to know that Misty Island is teeming with monsters, and those who lead the way are most vulnerable to attack.

The three of them carefully made their way through the dense forest, stepping on the rocks and fallen leaves.

The forest was eerily quiet, with towering ancient trees whose branches intertwined and rustled in the mountain breeze, occasionally mingling with a nauseating stench of decay.

Strange, blurry things would occasionally flash among the withered branches and leaves on the ground, accompanied by eerie cries coming from somewhere, sending chills down one's spine.

Fortunately, the three of them were lucky. After traveling for more than half an hour, they did not encounter any monsters except for some common poisonous insects and birds.

Instead, sounds of fighting could be heard from other directions, indicating that they had encountered an attack by monsters.

After continuing deeper into the forest, the dense forest blocked out the sun, making the light even dimmer.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a beam of black light shot straight at Yu Daoxuan's face from the ancient tree on his right.

Although Yu Daoxuan's eyesight was restricted, his reflexes remained sharp, and he immediately noticed the unusual activity.

At the critical moment, he immediately swung his Crimson Fire Sword, accurately striking the black light.

With a crisp clang, the black light fell to the ground.

Yu Daoxuan looked down and saw a Black Emperor Insect at the early stage of the first tier.

This insect is not very strong, but it is highly poisonous.

If bitten, even a Qi Refining cultivator would be poisoned within moments.

The sudden attack heightened the tension.

"Everyone, please be careful and thoroughly investigate your surroundings to guard against sneak attacks from demonic insects."

Yu Daoxuan said in a deep voice.

The deeper they went, the more monsters and poisonous insects they encountered. Fortunately, they were all at the early to mid-stages of the first tier, which they could manage.

However, when the three passed through a swamp, something unexpected happened.
