"The pressure from this direction is even stronger. If we follow this path, we can reach the Kunpeng Nest!"

Qing Su nodded, her heart pounding again, and the two embarked on their journey once more.

Meanwhile, after Li Dao parted ways with Shi Hao and the others, they also entered the Forbidden Sea.

Shi Hao looked around and saw that only a few divine servants remained to protect them. Of the original six or seven hundred people, more than ninety percent had been lost.

"The dangers on this sea are several times more terrifying than on land. The laws of this forbidden sea are disordered and filled with strange suppressive forces."

“All the servants of the gods have had their cultivation level suppressed to the Spirit Transformation Realm. If danger comes again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect our safety.”

"It seems we need to be more cautious. If things don't go well, it's better to escape from the group as soon as possible."

Shi Hao's gaze was deep as he looked into the distance, and he couldn't help but think:

"I wonder if Senior Brother Li has already entered the Kunpeng Nest by now?"

Meanwhile, Li Dao and the other person who were being thought of were suspended in mid-air. In front of them was a flying boat that had been torn in two, floating on the sea and slowly sinking.

The smoke from the gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the stench of blood, even from a distance, still wafted into my nostrils.

Li Dao recognized the flag hanging on the flying boat immediately.

"The flying boat from Xiling Beast Mountain, it seems they were attacked here."

"Moreover, the attack had only taken place recently, and the smoke from the fighting had not yet cleared."

Seeing this tragic scene, Qing Su felt a pang of anxiety and said in a trembling voice:

"What could have done this? How could it have snapped a spaceship in two?"

Li Dao shook his head, puzzled, and could only suppress his surging thoughts, leading her forward.

They had only traveled a hundred miles when a black ship appeared out of nowhere and blocked their path.

Li Dao's brows twitched as he looked at the dilapidated black ship, which was filled with black mist from the inside out.

"This is a ghost ship! Rumor has it that anyone who encounters this ship never ends well!"

What do we do?

Li Dao suppressed his wildly beating heart, spread his purple-gold wings behind him, and immediately headed in the opposite direction from the black ship.

They hadn't flown very far when the black ship was still ahead, and it was even closer now.

"It's truly bizarre; such methods are absolutely impossible to guard against!"

Li Dao stopped in his tracks. Just as Qing Su beside him was feeling puzzled, several chains shot out from the ghost ship.

They simply pulled the two of them onto the boat.

On the ghost ship, Li Dao's limbs were tightly bound by thick chains, making him completely unable to move.

A strange power emanated from the chains, slowly draining his life essence.

With a furrowed brow and sensing the familiar sensation, he immediately summoned the Divine Refining Furnace.

As soon as the divine furnace appeared in mid-air, it unleashed a series of strange forces, quite similar to the forces attached to the chains, which directly suppressed him.

The chains that had been shimmering with a ghostly light slowly loosened from his body.

"call--"

"It works! The power attached to these chains is quite similar to the power inside the Refining Furnace. It can indeed be used to suppress it."

They found Qing Su, who was tied up in mid-air and had already fallen into a coma, while carrying the Refining God Furnace.

He led her to the deck of the ghost ship, where, on the deck eroded by time, there was a line of delicate handwriting that seemed to have been written yesterday.

"I'm the only one left."

Chapter 161 Ruthless Empress

Li Dao uttered the words softly, but as soon as he finished speaking, the black mist that was spreading outward from the ghost ship froze instantly.

In an instant, it transformed into a giant hand, directly dragging Li Dao into a dark space.

The river of time was shattered and broken, and its turbulent tributaries stretched out towards all the heavens and myriad realms.

At the source of one of the tributaries, a slender woman, shrouded in chaotic energy, slowly folded a paper boat from her jade-like hands.

With bloodstains on his hands, he shoved the paper boat into the river of time before him. The paper boat immediately transformed into a ghost ship and headed towards the myriad worlds.

The moment the woman looked up, she met Li Dao's gaze.

From those eyes, Li Dao sensed a loneliness and longing that transcended countless ages.

Perhaps influenced by this, tears silently streamed down Li Dao's face, his mood inexplicable.

The woman opened her mouth as if to say something, but before Li Dao could see clearly, the surrounding space shattered inch by inch.

Li Dao suddenly came to his senses and looked around. Apart from the blue waves and seawater, there was nothing else in front of him.

"That should have been a mark left by that being on the river of time. I didn't expect to trigger it myself."

"This power is truly terrifying; it can even affect emotions across countless ages."

Slowly calm your mind and stop thinking about other things.

Thinking too much was dangerous, so he directly formed a hand seal to seal some of the memories in his mind.

After taking a deep breath and feeling the chill that had enveloped me disappear, I discovered that a tiny paper boat was quietly floating in front of me.

After hesitating for a moment, I still took it in my hand.

"With a paper boat by my side, there shouldn't be anyone foolish enough to come looking for trouble on this sea."

Looking around, one could see Qing Su's body being constantly washed by the waves on a deserted island beach.

With a swift movement, he scooped her up, the seawater wetting her figure and making her graceful form appear and disappear.

However, Li Dao's attention was not on this. He scanned the isolated island in front of him with his divine sense and, seeing that there was no danger, prepared to rest on it for a while before leaving her there.

Having saved her life and obtained the location of the Kunpeng Nest, the deal was already complete.

They landed on the island, carved out a temporary cave dwelling, and moved in.

Li Dao took out several precious medicinal herbs from his storage bag and began to recuperate.

Behind him, the divine ring of the cave opened, domineeringly plundering the essence of heaven and earth within a ten-mile radius of the island.

The resulting vortex of vital energy was visible even from a distance.

Some young men and women who had gone through hardships and dangers to be sent here by their elders instinctively kept their distance when they saw the terrifying tide of vital energy.

"Such a terrifying ability to devour essence must belong to a senior whose cultivation has reached the pinnacle. It's best not to go and disturb them."

"That's right. Although those great cultivators' cultivation levels were suppressed to the Spirit Transformation Realm, no one in the same realm could be their match!"

Some kept their distance out of respect, while others refused to believe in the evil, but they were all killed by the Black Fiends who were guarding outside before they could even get close.

Having merged with the bloodline of the White Tiger, Hei Sha was now considered a rising star among the ferocious beasts, more than capable of dealing with some fools.

Inside the cave, Li Dao was surrounded by Daoist energy, and the entire island was nourished by rich spiritual energy. Flowers bloomed and birds sang, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a treasure land full of vitality.

Qing Su slowly woke up, feeling the pain coming from all parts of her body. She looked down at her tattered clothes, but her fair skin was still visible.

Her face flushed red, and when she looked up, she saw Li Daozheng meditating with his eyes slightly closed. She breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt embarrassed if others saw him in such a disheveled state, so he immediately channeled his divine power to quickly repair his clothes.

He also got up and sat cross-legged, beginning to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to replenish his own energy.

Time flies, and two days have already passed.

Li Dao slowly opened his eyes, placed two fingers together in front of him in the shape of a sword, with a thin red thread swaying on his fingertips.

As soon as this wisp of red appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and patches of frost climbed up the cave walls.

"This killing intent is unyielding through the ages; it is indeed quite something."

"It doesn't seem to be formed from the slaying of many living beings; it seems to have emanated from a single person."

Li Dao shook his head and put it away. At this moment, his cultivation level was too low to see much, and he could only wait until later to investigate.

Looking up, she saw Qing Su staring at her with big, unblinking eyes, her gaze filled with both curiosity and a hint of shyness.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir! I will never forget your kindness!"

When Qing Su saw Li Dao's gaze fall upon her, her eyes seemed to be burned. She quickly looked away, then pouted and looked back firmly.

Li Dao was completely unaware of this, and calmly said:

"It's just a transaction."

"The deal is done, and I should be leaving now. You'd better take care of yourself."

Qing Su's face stiffened, and she said in disbelief:

Are you going to leave me all alone?

Seeing tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him expectantly, Li Dao couldn't help but think of Hei Sha's death. He paused for a moment before speaking:

"The place I'm going to is too dangerous; you should find your own way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Su raised three fingers and swore an oath:

"I'm not afraid of danger, and I promise I won't hold you back!"

"Please, please take me with you."

Seeing her tearful appearance, Li Dao simply shook his head and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Qing Su felt a sudden urgency and quickly recalled what she had said before speaking loudly:

"As long as you take me with you, I can take you anywhere you want to go!"

Li Dao paused slightly, as he was indeed unfamiliar with the situation at the Kunpeng Nest since he was new to the place.

Turning to Qing Su, he said calmly:

"I wish to travel to a place where yin and yang meet. Do you know where it is?"

Qing Su's expression stiffened, and she weakly said:

"I do not know."
