One month later, Golden Phoenix Island.
After listening to Ning Tai's report, Chu Xuan sighed slightly.
"The situation in the Broken Star Sea is getting worse and worse."
"If it weren't for the friendship between the Zhenyue Sword Sect's Immortal and Yun Feijian, even Golden Phoenix Island would probably be in turmoil."
"The Heavenly Demon Palace is a bit strange. They clearly have the support of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, so why didn't they launch a large-scale attack on other forces? Instead, they acted the same as before."
Chu Xuan tapped his index finger lightly, as if thinking about something.
Ning Tai said again, "Master, there is one more thing..."
"You go on." Chu Xuan nodded.
Ning Tai said respectfully, "The Liu family claimed that their Baicao Garden on Huangshi Island was looted by robbers."
"Most of the spiritual plants were looted, and even some of the Liu family members stationed on Huangshi Island were killed."
"They pleaded for a reduction in this year's tribute."
Chu Xuan's expression was calm.
He had already asked Wang Tiancheng to take action to deal with those robber cultivators who were wantonly plundering Jinfeng Island and surrounding islands.
Wang Tiancheng would definitely not dare to disobey his orders, let alone secretly plunder the territory of the Divine Sword Sect.
However, the Liu family claimed that Baicao Garden on Huangshi Island was robbed.
He doesn't believe that there is no trick involved.
Even Ning Tai, who had no idea what order he had given to Wang Tiancheng, could clearly sense something was wrong based on his own judgment of human nature.
Henry Chu simply said, "Tell them that I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes."
Ning Tai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."
He turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped himself from saying anything.
Henry Chu saw his expression and asked casually, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"You are different from Liu Yong, Song Danqing and others. You are my confidant."
Ning Tai nodded respectfully, "If I say this, I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony between you and the other real person."
"explain."
Hearing Henry Chu's approval, Ning Taicong whispered, "A few days ago, Zhu Caier came to visit and implicitly hoped that my Ning family would join Master Sun's army."
"As far as I know, Zhu Cai'er also went to the Liu family, the Song family and other families."
Henry Chu couldn't help but chuckle.
No wonder.
It seems that Liu Yong wants to change his allegiance.
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Now is a time of trouble. A strong backer is more in line with the interests of the Xiuxian family."
"Ningtai, you don't have much time left. You should also work for the welfare of future generations."
"If you wish to join Master Sun's sect, then go ahead. I understand."
Ning Tai lowered his head even deeper, "What are you talking about, Master?"
"Since our Ning family has already worshipped you as their master, we will be your followers for the rest of our lives and will never serve a second master!"
Henry Chu just smiled and said, "Okay."
"Tell Liu Yong, Song Danqing and the others what I said later."
"If you want to leave, leave. If you want to stay, stay. I, He Liang, will never force anyone to stay."
"Yes." Ning Tai nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
…
The other side.
In the Yunhai Tower of Jinfeng Island.
The heads of the Liu, Song, He and other families are gathering in the most luxurious private room here.
Song Danqing asked in confusion, "Didn't Liu Yong ask us to come? Why hasn't he come yet?"
He Kong, the head of the He family, shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe he was delayed by something important?"
Everyone drank for a while.
Then Liu Yong walked into the private room angrily.
Song Danqing asked in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Liu, why are you so angry? What troubles have you encountered?"
"By the way, your Liu family suffered heavy losses from the robbery cultivators' attack. Has the Immortal agreed to reduce the tribute?"
Liu Yong said angrily, "I get angry just talking about this. That Immortal had Old Ghost Ning bring a message. He said he couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes!"
"What do you mean? Do you still think I planned this?"
"Are those Liu family members who died not human beings?"
Liu Yong paused and continued, "I'm thinking back to what happened last time. The robbers invaded several of my islands and disrupted my property, but the real person turned a blind eye! It's really chilling!"
Song Danqing sighed, "Calm down, Fellow Daoist Liu, calm down."
"It's inevitable that the Master would have such thoughts. As his subordinates, we should share his worries."
Liu Yong snorted coldly, "I have made up my mind. My Liu family will switch to Master Sun!"
"My two fellow Daoists, are you willing to change your sect with me?"
Song Danqing's expression changed drastically. "Ah? Fellow Daoist Liu, changing sects is a big taboo!"
"Besides, even if you were willing to become Master Sun's disciple, he probably wouldn't dare to accept you because he's afraid of Master Wuxin."
He Kong, the head of the He family, said nothing and just looked at Liu Yong.
Liu Yong sneered, "Zhu Cai'er has already discussed this with me."
"Besides, Master Sun has been famous for a long time, why would he be afraid of a new master?"
"In addition, Master Wuxin also had Ning Tai bring me another message. We, the Immortal Clan, can leave if we want to, or stay if we want to. He Liang never forces anyone to stay!"
Liu Yong laughed strangely, "Listen to his tone, the True Man Huashen is very noble! He doesn't care about our families at all!"
After these words were spoken, Song Danqing and the others fell silent.
This is really heartbreaking.
Liu Yong added, "If you all want to join Master Sun with me, why don't we go together?"
Seeing that many people seemed to be interested in moving, Liu Yong spoke again, "Now that the Shattered Star Sea is gradually becoming chaotic, the truest thing to do is to become a disciple of a capable master."
"A backer must be strong enough! Strong enough! Enough to protect us!"
"Tell me, everyone, is this the truth?"
He Kong immediately stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, what you said makes sense! My He family is also willing to join the lineage of Master Sun!"
After he stood up, several heads of small families took a step forward, holding the same idea.
Song Danqing, however, remained hesitant.
Liu Yong couldn't help but look at him.
"Brother Song, are you still hesitating?"
"What's so good about Wuxin Zhenren? He's not strong in terms of strength, and his character is not good."
"Zhu Cai'er also told me that Master Sun's realm has improved again. He is now at the fourth level of the Spiritualization Realm! He has surpassed Master Feijian!"
"He is the strong supporter with deep roots that will never fall!"
Song Danqing was even more excited after hearing this.
Words of agreement are almost on the verge of coming out.
However, he pondered for a long time and finally shook his head, "I always teach my Song family members to understand the word loyalty."
"Many times, what a superior needs is not a smart and capable subordinate, but a loyal and trustworthy one."
"Even if you don't have any abilities, as long as you are loyal enough, you can still live well."
"I, Song Danqing, don't have any lofty ambitions. I just wish the Song family well."
"Changing allegiance rashly now is definitely not a good thing."
"I still plan to stay under Master Wuxin."
Liu Yong was stunned. "Song Danqing, are you crazy?"
He also wanted to dissuade him.
Song Danqing shook his head again, "Don't try to persuade me anymore, everyone has their own path."
He immediately stood up and said, "I'm leaving first."
Wu Wei and Zhang Chufeng also stood up.
However, only a few people followed Song Danqing away.
There are only about one-third of those who originally joined Chu Xuan's army.
Jinfeng Island, Shaoyang Pavilion.
Master Sun was lying on a rattan chair, while Zhu Caier was respectfully massaging his shoulders and legs.
She couldn't help but ask, "Master, if we were to rob the family under Wuxin Zhenren so blatantly, I'm afraid we would anger him, right?"
Master Sun laughed heartily, "What are you afraid of? What's his strength? What's my strength? Why should I be afraid of him?"
"I've noticed this a long time ago. He practices all day, pays no attention to the outside world, and rarely takes the initiative to expand his territory."
"Obviously, he was worried about offending me and Yun Feijian."
"The last time we met, he was only at the newly promoted Divine Transformation stage, and had barely made any progress."
"What does this prove? His qualifications are not high, and his strength is not strong!"
Master Sun laughed strangely, "Now that the Broken Star Sea is becoming increasingly chaotic, it's time for a reshuffle. The strong should take away the treasures of the weak."
"Just wait and see. Even if most of the families under his command changed their allegiance, he wouldn't dare to say a word."
Zhu Caier immediately exclaimed, "Master, what a brilliant idea!"
She pouted and said, "That's true, but Master originally wanted me to serve him and even wanted to give me to him..."
"You really don't cherish Cai'er."
Master Sun laughed heartily and grasped Zhu Cai'er's soft little hand. "I was just testing him."
"He doesn't dare to touch you, which proves that he is in awe of me. That's a good thing."
"A small test will tell the difference."
Zhu Cai'er chuckled, "Master, you are truly wise. I admire you."
"However, when will Cai'er's identity as Master's Taoist companion be made public?"
Her little hand immediately reached under Master Sun's body.
Master Sun laughed heartily and mounted his horse. "It's almost done. Don't worry, you are my most beloved Taoist companion."
Suddenly the room was filled with spring.
…
It seemed as if many immortal cultivation families within the Divine Sword Sect's sphere of influence changed their allegiance overnight.
The day before, they were still under the command of Master Wuxin.
The next day, they became loyal servants under Master Sun.
Of course, for the vast majority of low-level cultivators, this makes almost no difference.
Because both Master Wuxin and Master Sun are masters of the Divine Sword Sect.
But for the other immortal cultivation families, they could see the meaning of it at a glance.
Master Wuxin couldn't even control the immortal cultivation families under his command. It was obvious that they were afraid and had retreated!
Even Master Feijian didn't come out and say a word.
Obviously, the current Divine Sword Sect should respect Master Sun as its leader!
Although many families, shops, and monks did not say anything on the surface, they respected Master Sun more in their hearts.
That's the way the world works.
Turmoil is coming, and only a powerful backer will be more welcome.
This day.
Yun Feijian personally came to Chu Xuan's Yunxiao Pavilion.
He said in a clear voice, "Brother Wuxin, how are you? I brought a pot of fresh tea with me. Could you please have a drink with me for a while?"
The gate of Yunxiao Pavilion opened, and Chu Xuan appeared with a smile, "It's Brother Yun, please come in."
The two of them sat down and sipped tea.
With Chu Xuan's current spiritual sense, he can tell whether this tea contains evil intentions with just a glance.
Therefore, he could relax and drink tea with Yun Feijian.
"Brother Yun, you must have something important to tell me when you come here this time, right?" Chu Xuan smiled.
Yun Feijian sighed softly, "I hope you don't mind Brother Sun's affairs."
"He is indeed a greedy person. He took away some of my properties, but I didn't care much."
"It's just that you didn't have many immortal cultivation families under your command to begin with, and now almost two-thirds are gone. I feel that the situation is a bit serious, so I came to talk to you."
Henry Chu smiled, "So that's what happened."
"Brother Yun, you're joking. I don't mind."
"Clinging to the strong is the reason for their survival. I understand it very well."
Yun Feijian was stunned.
He thought He Liang would be dissatisfied.
This time, we are all prepared to talk a lot.
Unexpectedly, He Liang didn't mind at all.
Such broad-mindedness and courage really surprised him.
"Brother Yun, do you have anything else to say?" Chu Xuan asked again.
Yun Feijian nodded, "There is indeed another important matter."
"Yesterday, a black light fell at the junction of the East Second Ring Road and the North Second Ring Road."
"As far as I know, a lot of black lights have landed in the waters of the East Second Ring Road and the North Second Ring Road, and the same situation has occurred there."
"But now those black lights still only fall on deserted islands and desolate seas where few people go."
"I've approached an area covered by black light and made some preliminary explorations."
"It seems to be a world of its own, eerie and terrifying."
Yun Feijian's face was solemn. "I'm here to remind Fellow Daoist Wuxin not to enter that area without permission. I'm afraid it will cause a disaster!"
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yun, for reminding me."
After Yun Feijian left, Chu Xuan frowned deeply.
There are more and more weird things happening.
Should I go to Planet Aquamarine to take shelter?
It's not too late to make a decision once the situation becomes clear.
If the danger is beyond your control, then just hide in the Aquamarine Planet.
If the danger is under control and there are great opportunities, you can consider joining the game.
"The chaotic situation and unknown dangers are really a headache."
Henry Chu shook his head repeatedly.
…
The next month.
Black light continued to appear in various sea areas.
The area at the intersection of East Second Ring Road, North Second Ring Road and North First Ring Road is the most densely populated.
At first, the black light only appeared on those deserted islands and desolate seas where few people visited.
Later, it appeared on a small island where monsters gathered.
Later, even the big island where the monks gathered was shrouded in black light.
Those areas shrouded in black light are like another world.
Deep! Pitch black! Eerie! Terrifying!
It seems that once you go in, you will step into hell and there will be no possibility of coming out alive.
This is exactly the case.
Sixty to seventy percent of those who enter never come out.
But there were also many people who entered the black light area and came out alive.
And also brought out rich treasures.
Top-grade magic weapons, broken spiritual tools, spiritual objects for spiritual transformation, spiritual objects for spiritual cultivation, ancient techniques, and body-refining martial arts...
Some people even obtained ancient relics of unknown level, which even cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm could only barely activate.
This time, many people went crazy.
The place covered by black light is not a horrible hell at all.
It is clearly a hidden treasure trove full of treasures!
This day.
Chu Xuan also personally came to a place covered by black light that had just formed.
The other monks rushed in with all their might, just to fight for a chance to enter a higher realm.
But just by looking at it from afar, he could feel the evil thoughts and weirdness.
Chu Xuan murmured, "I'm afraid these treasures are just superficial. Deep in the black light must be hidden great terror and great disaster. We must leave."
But even he didn't expect it.
He had just returned to Jinfeng Island and was about to return to his cave to run to Hailan.
He suddenly realized that the Golden Phoenix Island, which had been clear and sunny just now, had now changed its appearance.
The sky was dull and grey.
The sea water was lifeless and not a single wave was created.
It's like...coming to a different world.
Chu Xuan was startled and his scalp went numb.
"I have entered the black light!"
Chu Xuan looked shocked.
Because he was already extremely careful.
After personally witnessing the horror of the Black Light Land, he no longer had the slightest thought of entering it to search for treasure.
I just want to be as blue as the sea and avoid the sharp edge for a while.
Unexpectedly, I still fell into it.
And in such a way that there was no warning.
He clearly remembered that he had stayed away from the black light and had not gotten close to it at all.
How could this be?
Could it be that a black light suddenly descended and landed on the Golden Phoenix Island, and he was trapped in it without realizing it?
Chu Xuan frowned deeply.
Chu Xuan spread out his spiritual sense and found that the cultivators on the Golden Phoenix Island had also noticed something unusual and appeared on the street one after another.
Sometimes I look at the sky, sometimes I look at the ocean.
Most people had fear in their eyes.
Anyone who suddenly finds themselves in such an environment will be terrified.
However, there were also some monks who had entered the Black Light to search for treasure and came out alive, and they were delighted when they saw this.
This means that they have entered the black light again.
Maybe this is a great opportunity to find immortality and attain enlightenment!
"The divine consciousness has been suppressed again."
"But it wasn't as strong as the suppression from the Baji Palace. It was only about 70%."
Chu Xuan's face darkened slightly.
He immediately connected his spiritual consciousness to the Mirror of the Heavens.
When I found that I could still travel between the two worlds safely, my heart was immediately put back into my stomach.
As long as it can still run smoothly, then that's fine!
At this time, Yun Feijian and Master Sun appeared one after another.
Seeing that the three real people were there, everyone felt much more at ease.
Yun Feijian's brows were filled with anxiety. "Gentlemen, I think we may have entered the black light."
Master Sun also frowned, "We didn't do anything, how could we be trapped in the black light?"
Yun Feijian shook his head, "I don't know either."
"But the scenes seen by those who emerged alive from the black light were similar to this gray sky and lifeless sea."
Sun Zhenren seemed to be thinking about something, but suddenly he became very excited. "Suddenly being caught in the black light might be a good opportunity for us to seek the immortal way!"
"If we accumulate normally, how many years will it take to obtain one or two spiritual objects for nourishing essence?"
"But now, spiritual objects can be found in this black light!"
He looked at Henry Chu, "Friend He, what do you think?"
Chu Xuan didn't say much, "It's up to Brother Yun and Brother Sun to decide."
Master Sun smiled and said, "Okay."
"Then let me speak."
He poured in spiritual power, and his voice immediately spread throughout the Golden Phoenix Island.
"The black light is coming. Don't panic, everyone. Don't leave the island yet."
"There is a Spiritual Transformation Stage formation on the island, so it must be safe."
"I will make a decision after the two masters and I have searched the surrounding area."
The monks bowed to the three figures in the sky.
"Thank you, Master Sun! Thank you, Master Feijian! Thank you, Master Wuxin!"
Hearing that everyone put his name first, Master Sun smiled even more happily.
He laughed heartily and said, "I set a goal for myself in my early years: I would not enter the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and would not take a Taoist name, in order to strengthen my resolve to seek the Dao."
"Now is a good opportunity to spread the word."
"My Taoist name is Jin Guang!"
Liu Yong, He Kong and other monks who had surrendered immediately shouted in shock upon hearing this, "We have met the True Man Jin Guang!"
As this voice rang out, countless cultivators exclaimed in shock, "Greetings to Master Jin Guang!"
Chu Xuan and Yun Feijian looked at each other.
The two of them bowed to Master Sun and said with a chuckle, "We have also met Fellow Daoist Jin Guang."
Jin Guang Zhenren smiled and nodded, "We are all fellow Taoists, there is no need to be so polite."
He glanced at Chu Xuan and said, "Friend He is a little weaker. Now that he is suddenly caught in the black light, he must be more careful."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, for the reminder."
Jin Guang Zhenren pointed to the north and east, "I'm a little stronger, I'll go to the north and east to have a look."
"The two of you should go to the west and south and have a look."
Chu Xuan nodded immediately.
He was so happy that someone took the initiative to undertake such a dangerous task.
Henry Chu flew towards the south, "I'm going to the south."
Three figures walked in opposite directions, exploring the surroundings.
The monks on the island all sighed.
Liu Yong and He Kong were even more moved.
He Kong, "Fortunately, there are mid-stage Spiritualization cultivators like Jin Guang Zhenren here, otherwise we would be in great danger and would have a near-fatal escape."
Liu Yong, "It was indeed the right decision to switch to Jin Guang Zhenren's side early. If I continue to follow He Liang, it would be like following a tree that could fall at any time! Not only will I fall, I might even be crushed to death by it!"
"Look at Song Danqing, he looks so sad now. He must be regretting it!"
"And Zhang Chufeng, Wu Wei, and the others, not only did they pay 70% of the tribute to He Liang, but they also persisted in doing so. It's truly laughable!"
Liu Yong, He Kong and others looked at each other, laughed heartily, and looked very happy.
Song Danqing looked at Ning Tai and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Ning, do you think my decision that day was right or wrong?"
Ning Tai said calmly, "A loyal minister does not serve two masters. Although the relationship between us and the Immortal is not that of a monarch and his subjects, it is more like that of a master and servant."
"If we switch sides for a momentary gain, then that Immortal will not consider us his direct descendants."
"Let's just go down this road until the end."
"It's better than those people who sit on the fence."
"What we need to do now is to summarize the situation in Black Light as quickly as possible and report it to the real person."
Song Danqing nodded. "There are a few lucky people in my Song family who have walked out of the black light alive. I will go find them."
Ning Tai nodded, "There are also a few people from my Ning family."
"Their knowledge of the Black Light will also be of great use to us."
Not long.
Chu Xuan returned to Jinfeng Island safely.
He flew straight to the south of Jinfeng Island, and found nothing except those nameless deserted islands.
Finally, he returned from the north of Jinfeng Island.
This surprised him quite a bit.
It's my sense of direction that's been distorted.
Or maybe the rules in this black light are different from those outside.
After a while, Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren also returned to Jinfeng Island.
As expected, they also appeared from opposite directions.
There were some scars on Yun Feijian's body.
Jin Guang Zhenren was unharmed.
The three of them got together to share their findings.
Yun Feijian said in a deep voice, "I encountered some powerful wild Yin corpses, at least the strength of a first-level Great Corpse King, and their bodies are extremely strong."
"If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have died right there and then."
The Corpse King and the Ghost King are both equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Great Corpse King and the Great Ghost King are equivalent to the Divine Transformation cultivators.
There are no such powerful wild Yin corpses around Jinfeng Island.
Any wild corpses will be cleaned up immediately.
But now it suddenly appeared.
Obviously.
It was the black light that caused the evil.
Jin Guang Zhenren took out a broken spiritual weapon and said, "I found quite a few broken spiritual weapons. Most of them are useless, but they should be able to be recycled and used to refine other spiritual weapons."
"If you two need it, you can come to me and I will convert it according to the market price."
He seemed to have remembered something, looked at Chu Xuan, and smiled, "However, Fellow Daoist He has just entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm, so he probably doesn't have a suitable low-grade spiritual weapon yet, right?"
Jin Guang Zhenren smiled and said, "I do have one or two items that I don't need right now. Given our relationship, I can give Fellow Daoist He a 10% discount."
Henry Chu was surprised and said, "Really? That's great!"
He then gave another bitter laugh, "It's just that I'm short of money. Even at a 10% discount, I can't afford it right now."
Jin Guang Zhenren coughed lightly and said, "It's okay. It won't be too late to wait for a while. There must be a treasure in this black light. I believe that with Fellow Daoist He's good fortune, he will definitely find the treasure. Then we can exchange it."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you in advance, Fellow Daoist Jin Guang."
Jin Guang Zhenren looked at the dim sky around him and said, "The confusing sense of direction here is quite a headache. I'm sure you two have noticed it too, right?"
Chu Xuan and Yun Feijian both nodded.
Yun Feijian pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's focus on Golden Phoenix Island for now. Don't go too far away, or we might be in great trouble."
The three people's discussion ended quickly.
And make the situation known.
When the monks heard this, they each had their own plans.
Some people were in constant fear, hiding in their caves and not daring to go out.
Some people are unwilling to stay in one corner, and go out in groups of three or five to explore the surrounding nameless deserted islands.
Some people also felt that there were too many monks on the Golden Phoenix Island and were afraid that it would bring disaster, so they considered retreating to the surrounding small islands.
More people have their own plans in mind.
There was a fierce look in his eyes when he looked at the people around him.
As the saying goes, if my neighbor stores food, I store guns, and my neighbor is my granary.
The chaos of the future is inevitable.
Improving strength is obviously the top priority now.
Perhaps because the Broken Star Sea is inherently turbulent and chaotic, the cultivators here also have those uneasy factors.
It only takes a single thought to transform from a good cultivator into a robbery cultivator or a demon cultivator.
Chu Xuan also had such thoughts in his mind.
Today, Golden Phoenix Island and the surrounding waters seem to have been carved out of the Shattered Star Sea.
I don't know how long this situation will last.
When the resources for cultivation decrease, chaos is bound to break out.
He knew one thing before: the result of a 10% food shortage is not a 10% increase in food prices, but a continuous increase in prices until 10% of people starve to death.
This is just an ideal result.
Reality is often more cruel.
In the world of cultivating immortals, which relies on personal strength, this phenomenon is bound to be further magnified.
At that time, on the Tianjin battlefield, the spiritual energy dropped rapidly, and even the realm of the Jindan cultivators could drop to the Yuanying stage.
If that scene were to happen again on Jinfeng Island.
I am afraid that even the Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to help but rise up to surround and kill the God Transformation cultivators, just to hunt for the spirit stones for their survival.
"There are many islands surrounding Jinfeng Island. You can choose any one to live on."
A map of the surrounding area of Golden Phoenix Island appeared in Chu Xuan's mind.
A small island called "Yufeng Island" was soon selected.
After selecting a mountain, take out the Soul-Killing Rope and smash it into it.
Soon a rough cave was smashed out.
For him, the beauty of the cave is irrelevant; safety is the top priority.
Therefore, various formations must be arranged.
He didn't return to Jinfeng Island until everything was ready.
Let's observe for a moment and see what is going on in this black light.
…
A few days later.
Ning Tai brought a piece of news and a "wild corpse general".
"…Real person, this is the situation."
"Of the three Yin corpses that invaded the island, I was able to kill two using my formation and capture one alive. Please take a look."
Ning Tai said in a deep voice, "I have come into contact with Yin corpses. Compared to Yin corpses, these guys are more powerful, their bodies recover faster, and their desire to attack is stronger."
"It's not an Infernal corpse, but it's better than an Infernal corpse."
Henry Chu looked at the familiar monster in front of him with a normal expression.
This monster is exactly the same as the corpse demon he encountered in Baji Palace.
But slightly weaker.
He probably only has the strength of the 36th level of body refining.
No wonder Ning Tai was able to kill him with the help of the formation.
Chu Xuan flicked his fingers, and spiritual power burst out of his body, killing the corpse demon immediately.
Ning Tai took out a divine consciousness jade slip and presented it respectfully with both hands, "Master, this is the information about the black light that Song Danqing and I have collected from various families."
"I can guarantee that this information was all given by the monks who emerged from the Black Light alive. Not a single bit of it is false."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's thoughtful."
Ning Tai looked respectful, "What I did was just as I should."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "There will definitely be more monsters like this in the future. If we can abandon those unimportant industries outside, we can do so. If we can't abandon them, we can bring back valuable things."
"Rely on the formation and firmly defend one island. Don't be greedy for more."
Ning Tai nodded heavily upon hearing this, "Thank you for your advice, Master."
Chu Xuan paused, then said, "If the Ning family is in trouble in the future, I will help."
Ning Tai was overjoyed and lowered his head even lower, "Thank you, Master!"
"Go." Chu Xuan waved his hand.
He looked at Ning Tai's departing back and smiled slightly.
Everything the old man did made him very satisfied.
This time, I took great pains to collect information about the Black Light Land.
There are not many people as loyal and capable as this.
You should live well and continue to be used by him.
Chu Xuan placed the spiritual jade slip between his eyebrows.
In the blink of an eye, all the information was clear in his mind.
"Within the black light, the scene is no different from the Shattered Star Sea, but the spiritual consciousness will be suppressed by 70% to 80%."
"Those wild Yin corpses would appear in various places without warning. They were frantic and bloodthirsty, and had a strong desire to attack. It took a late Nascent Soul stage to defeat them."
"Has anyone encountered strange fog? But the duration and coverage of the strange fog are very short. Wherever the strange fog appears, natural treasures will grow. Among them are many spiritual objects that nourish the essence."
"It's difficult to escape the blacklight using normal methods because your sense of direction is distorted. Some people hid for a few days and then inexplicably escaped, while others discovered a place completely different from their surroundings and thus escaped the blacklight."
"…"
Henry Chu frowned, thinking about something.
What he cared about most was how to leave the Land of Black Light.
But now it seems completely disorganized.
He guessed that those who came out alive were actually lucky.
Those who are unlucky would have been lost deep in the land of black light long ago.
"Wait a moment."
Henry Chu suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
He did not go out blindly to look for treasure like most monks.
Instead, he continued to practice on Golden Phoenix Island.
To the outside world, they said that it was to maintain the Divine Transformation Stage formation of the Golden Phoenix Island.
Because Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren are both searching for treasures in the surrounding area, someone is really needed to maintain the formation on Jinfeng Island.
If your house is robbed, that would be the most embarrassing thing.
However, Jin Guang Zhenren's luck was obviously very good. Not only did he return with a full load every time, but he also hardly suffered any injuries.
On the other hand, Yun Feijian didn't get much, and his injuries became more serious.
In the eyes of many cultivators, the reliability of Jin Guang Zhenren has far surpassed Yun Feijian and Chu Xuan.
It seems to be the strongest support for surviving in this dark light land!
As time went by, people on Jinfeng Island became restless.
Many people sooner or later joined the ranks of Jin Guang Zhenren.
Even those monks who had firm beliefs and followed Song Danqing in deciding to stay under Chu Xuan.
Many people are also wavering now.
Compared to the beginning, the only immortal cultivation families under Chu Xuan's command were Ning Tai's Ning family, Song Danqing's Song family, Zhang Chufeng's Zhang family and Wu Wei's Wu family.
But in fact, even among these families, there are many children who complain about the decisions of the head of the family.
They believe that Wuxin Zhenren cannot protect them.
Joining the ranks of Jin Guang Zhenren is the true way to survive.
If it weren't for the fact that the immortal cultivation families under Yun Feijian had followed him for many years, I'm afraid many of them would have secretly joined the ranks of Jin Guang Zhenren.
Especially the order issued by Chu Xuan, which required these immortal cultivation families to retreat to the main island and abandon their external industries, further aroused the rebellious psychology of some cultivators.
When Chu Xuan heard the news that Ning Tai had reported for several days, he just smiled faintly and did not comment.
Compared to these details, he cares more about the potential dangers.
"By the way, Master Feijian has sent a message asking you to go over. It seems that those Yin corpses have appeared again, and they are quite powerful." Ning Tai said respectfully.
"Okay." Chu Xuan nodded.
A moment later, Chu Xuan reunited with Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren.
He quickly learned the situation from the two of them.
It turned out that there were quite a few extremely powerful corpse demons that appeared, and several small islands were destroyed, with only a few people escaping by chance.
Because those small islands were too close to Golden Phoenix Island, these corpse demons had to be eliminated.
However, the monks who came back alive also said that spiritual herbs appeared wherever the Yin corpses appeared.
It is very likely to be an excellent spiritual object for nourishing the essence.
However, those islands that nourish spiritual creatures are inhabited by powerful Yin corpses.
Without waiting for Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren to speak, Chu Xuan bowed and said, "My cultivation is limited, so I'll continue to guard Jinfeng Island."
Hearing this, both of them were stunned.
So proactive?
Jin Guang Zhenren was happy.
He was so happy that there was one less person to share the benefits with.
Yun Feijian wanted to persuade him, but his lips moved and no words came out in the end.
After all, it's a good thing for them that Henry Chu doesn't go.
There was really no need for him to refuse.
"Those Inferi are very strange, you two should be careful."
Chu Xuan bowed and watched the two of them leave.
Only he knew that those were not Yin corpses, but corpse demons.
And it is very likely a big corpse demon.
A corpse demon can be temporarily killed, but can never truly die.
They will come back to life after a while.
And the more you kill, the stronger the corpse demon that will eventually be born will be.
It is even very likely that a giant corpse demon equivalent to a cultivator at the 41st level of body refinement will appear.
Chu Xuan felt that there was no need for him to risk his life just for a few spiritual objects.
Ultimately it's just not worth it.
No matter whether Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren returned with a great harvest, or returned empty-handed, or even never returned again.
He didn't really care.
"There are countless spiritual creatures, but we only have one life."
Chu Xuan strode out and returned to the cave to practice.
There are so many red fruits, but we haven't eaten them all yet.
He had a hunch that once he finished eating, he would most likely reach the 46th level of body refinement.
…
One day later.
Above the boundless sea, Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren were flying desperately.
Both of them were covered in scars.
Especially Yun Feijian, there was even a claw mark on his chest that was deep enough to see the bone.
The flesh around the wound was a strange purple-black color.
Obviously, he was poisoned.
Not far behind the two of them were a large number of flying corpse demons.
A rough count shows that there are at least thousands of them.
These corpse demons controlled their qi and blood, and their speed was only slightly slower than the two of them.
The corpse demons in the lead were particularly huge, more than three meters tall.
The energy and blood rushed straight to the sky, like a giant warrior.
Jin Guang Zhenren said angrily, "Damn it, why can't we kill them all?"
Yun Feijian shook his head. "It's not that we can't kill them all, it's that we can only kill them temporarily. They will revive again after a while."
Zhenren Jin Guang glanced back and discovered that those extremely huge corpse demons were getting closer to them!
He blasted out more than ten flying swords behind him, but it only slightly slowed down the speed of the corpse demons.
"Golden Phoenix Island is just around the corner! With the help of the formation, we will definitely be able to keep these Yin corpses out!" Yun Feijian said in a deep voice.
Zhenren Jin Guang gritted his teeth, consumed a large amount of Nascent Soul essence, and flew away desperately.
The two of them flew one after the other and soon arrived above Golden Phoenix Island.
"He Liang! Quickly activate the formation! They're coming!"
Jin Guang Zhenren roared.
Chu Xuan frowned, immediately appeared, and injected surging spiritual power into the formation plate.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The formation patterns appeared out of nothing, and soon appeared from all sides of the Golden Phoenix Island, converging towards the sky.
This is the Golden Phoenix Island's Divine Transformation Stage formation, the "Eight Directions Immovable Formation".
With Chu Xuan's attainments in formation, although he cannot operate it skillfully and freely, he can at least activate it at the fastest speed.
Soon, a khaki cover as big as a bowl fell upside down, covering the Golden Phoenix Island.
More than ten breaths later, Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren also suddenly flew over the khaki protective shield and returned to the island, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
The appearance of Yun Feijian and Jin Guang Zhenren made the other cultivators shocked and suspicious.
what happened?
Even the True Man of Transformation is in such a mess?
Henry Chu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Jin Guang Zhenren was still in shock.
Yun Feijian forced himself to remain calm, then said, "The Yin corpses are simply impossible to kill!"
"And there are also exceptionally powerful individuals, at least reaching the level of Great Corpse King."
"If we were a little later, we would have been surrounded by the Inferi."
Chu Xuan was puzzled. "I heard from my monks that these Yin corpses usually only stay in one place and won't chase for too long."
"Why are you coming to Golden Phoenix Island now?"
Yun Feijian looked at Zhenren Jin Guang.
Jin Guang Zhenren's expression changed constantly, and he finally said, "I got a treasure, and these Yin corpses are chasing me like crazy."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but think deeply when he heard this.
This reminded him of his experience in Baji Palace.
Many corpse demons lingered in the same place because of the heart that was formed by the life's blood and energy of the Grand Master of Baji Palace.
I guess Jin Guang Zhenren also got something similar.
This is what attracted so many corpse demons.
Yun Feijian knew that Master Jin Guang would definitely not be willing to hand it over.
He also didn't have the ability to force Master Jin Guang to hand him over.
Finally, he could only sigh, "Now we can only rely on the formation to resist them."
"Fortunately, there are plenty of spirit stones on the island, which can sustain the formation's consumption."
As soon as he finished speaking, facing the siege of so many corpse demons, the Eight Directions Immovable Formation began to experience ripples.
Yun Feijian's expression changed slightly.
This is a manifestation of the rapid consumption of formation energy.
Henry Chu also frowned, "I'm afraid the spirit stones are being consumed faster than we thought."
Jin Guang Zhenren had also come to his senses at this time.
He saw ripples flashing across the formation, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. "First, let those immortal cultivation families hand over the spirit stones!"
"We are protecting their safety, and we should make them pay to save their lives!"
