Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 1356: Chapter 29: Conquering the Sea_3 Chapter 1356: Chapter 29: Conquering the Sea_3 Having said that, she immediately flew out of the sea surface in a panic.

Daoist Yuanci shook his head slightly upon witnessing this,

“Cultivation is too rushed, and the mindset is still insufficient.”

But at this time, he also had no desire to offer guidance and quickly flew out of the sea surface, repeating what he saw to Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui.

He then said earnestly,

“Our understanding of the Eightfold Sea is probably still far from sufficient, we better take another look…

Be careful.”

‘Boom!’

A huge dark shadow suddenly burst out from the vertical torrents within the sea barrier!

The curtain was torn!

Waves soared to the sky!

A giant white bear burst forth from the water!

...

The white bear’s fur was lush and robust, its eyes completely red as it swung its massive paws, heavily slamming down towards Daoist Yuanci and the four persons including Rui Chunqiu!

Compared to the gigantic paws, the four of them seemed like mere flies, utterly insignificant.

However, upon witnessing this scene, other than Qin Lingxiao, whose expression slightly tensed, everyone else remained calm.

Xiang Sirui even laughed out loud,

“Good good good, there’s no place to use one’s skills on these seas, finally, there’s some fun to be had!”

Without any visible action, countless streams of pure white Spiritual Light emerged from his body, scattering like ice flowers toward the giant white bear that had suddenly emerged from the sea barrier.

The white bear, with its brute strength, was completely unaware of the danger and thus did not know to evade.

It collided head-on with these pure white Spiritual Lights.

The next moment, it couldn’t help but let out a miserable howl.

The white bear’s body, in pain, curled into a ball, instantly turning into a blood bear!

Seeing this scene, Xiang Sirui felt slightly regretful,

“It’s still affected by Yuanci, otherwise it would not have survived this strike.”

Although this white bear was a Class IV top-grade Demonic Beast, how could an ordinary Class IV top-grade Demonic Beast be an opponent for a Great Cultivator with a Nascent Soul Perfect and who had realized the Dao Secret?

While Xiang Sirui was speaking,

a Spotted Sea Shark also suddenly surged up from the waters below.

Its aura was also Class IV top-grade.

And that wasn’t all.

Just as the Spotted Sea Shark leaped out of the sea, a Swordfish also shot out of the water surface.

“It seems like we’ve stayed here too long, attracting the attention of these creatures.”

Xiang Sirui shook his head slightly, readying himself to act once again.

However, at this moment, Qin Lingxiao huffed coldly.

The next instant, Xiang Sirui felt the surrounding Yuanci force suddenly become much sharper!

An invisible force pressed down instantly!

These rising Demonic Beasts, their bodies seemed to lose control, were heavily suppressed back into the sea.

Even a Class IV top-grade Demonic Beast was no different.

Still, some Demonic Beasts stubbornly tried to charge again, yet from beneath the sea surface, suddenly appeared many slender chains, materialized by the Yuanci force with the aid of the sea water, dragging all these beasts back into the ocean.

Xiang Sirui and Rui Chunqiu, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but look at Qin Lingxiao with surprise and a reevaluation in their eyes.

Originally, even though Qin Lingxiao was proficient in Yuanci force, she was only a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, far apart from them, the Perfect Practitioners who had grasped the Dao Secret.

Moreover, with Qin Lingxiao’s lower seniority, they had merely regarded her as a means to understand the Yuanci force.

But this scene changed their minds.

Saying nothing else, at the very least within the Yuanci-infused Eightfold Sea, Qin Lingxiao’s capability for magical combat could almost be regarded as that of a Perfect Practitioner who had comprehended the Dao Secret.

“We cannot linger here for long.”

After suppressing these Demonic Beasts, Qin Lingxiao declared seriously.

This time, her words were acknowledged by both Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui.

Rui Chunqiu compromised,

“Then let’s leave this area for now, and let Daoist Yuanci…”

Before the sentence was finished,

Another roar, more thunderous than before, came once again from within the sea barrier.

The four persons couldn’t help but look back with solemn expressions.

What they saw was a gigantic green and serrated sickle slashing through the sea barrier with a booming sound.

Following that, a hunched giant green body whipped its wings and cut through the water!

“`

“Could this, could this possibly be a Sea-parting Mantis?”

Rui Chunqiu’s face underwent a sudden change,

“A Class V divine beast?!”

Daoist Yuanci, however, furrowed his brows in rare concern, swiftly speaking,

“That’s not quite right, although it has divine beast bloodline, it doesn’t seem to have reached Class V…”

“Swoosh!”

With just a slight flutter of its wings, the Sea-parting Mantis moved like lightning, appearing beside the white bear.

Its sickle-like arms slashed horizontally and vertically; the four of them couldn’t even catch the Sea-parting Mantis’s movements.

The white bear, which had been howling incessantly just moments before, turned to find itself neatly sliced into flesh, skewered on the mantis’s hind limbs.

Then those six pairs of compound eyes shifted slightly, capturing the figures of all four of them.

“Shh!”

In a flash, the Sea-parting Mantis appeared behind Xiang Sirui!

“How bold!”

Xiang Sirui, though a beat slower in his reaction, was not the least bit apprehensive as he sensed the mantis’s approach; his body shrouded in spiritual light, both protecting himself and stabbing towards the Sea-parting Mantis.

However, what caused his expression to change slightly was that the white spiritual light stabbed onto the Sea-parting Mantis, producing only the sound of metal clashing against stone, completely ineffective!

Not only that, but its two bloody sickle-like arms swiftly cut through his protective spiritual light like the wind!

“Whoosh!”

From Rui Chunqiu’s body sprung a thick withered vine, which in the nick of time blocked the path of those sickle arms.

Yet the ferocity of the Sea-parting Mantis far exceeded their expectations.

Before its sickle arms, Rui Chunqiu’s withered vine was cut instantly without any resistance.

The sharp arm continued its path, heading straight for Xiang Sirui!

“This is definitely not Class IV!”

Only one thought dominated the minds of Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui.

The speed was simply too fast, the force too fierce.

By the time Qin Lingxiao reacted, all he saw was the afterimage of the pair of sickle arms that lingered in front of Xiang Sirui, and…

The true form of the sickle arms, bound by numerous thick chains of seawater!

No!

It wasn’t just the sickle arms; wrapped up in the force of Yuanci, the heavy chains of seawater swiftly restrained the entire body of the Sea-parting Mantis!

The previously formidable Sea-parting Mantis was now silently ensnared within the chains of seawater.

Green juices began to seep from its constricted body.

A deep sense of panic surfaced in its six compound eyes!

Observing the near-solid force of Yuanci on these thick chains,

Not far off, Daoist Yuanci stood with hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm, but in his eyes watching the Sea-parting Mantis, there lingered a hint of contemplation.

As though the scene before him was not of his doing.

This sight gave Qin Lingxiao a suffocating sense of the inexplicable.

It was a profound despair from realizing the absolute disparity.

“Both of us cultivated the same methods, the same Yuanci Spells…”

Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui, having recovered, also landed in front of the Sea-parting Mantis.

Xiang Sirui looked down at his chest in fear,

There, on his protective clothing, was a clear scratch.

Had Daoist Yuanci been even a step slower, without question, he would have lost his physical body.

Daoist Yuanci also landed in front of the Sea-parting Mantis.

“Taoist Friend Yuanci, I cannot thank you enough.”

Xiang Sirui gave Daoist Yuanci a formal bow in gratitude.

Daoist Yuanci waved his hand nonchalantly, frowning at the trapped Sea-parting Mantis,

“Strange, this Sea-parting Mantis isn’t a Demonic Beast, and clearly not Class V, but it’s much stronger than your typical Class IV…”

“Taoist Friend speaks truly, I also find this odd.”

Rui Chunqiu replied, also furrowing his brow in confusion,

“Nearly all the beasts in the sea are Demonic Beasts, yet this one clearly possesses Spiritual Wisdom; its combat abilities are also peculiar, surely not Class V, yet it doesn’t seem like Class IV either…”

Daoist Yuanci, upon hearing this, seemed to awaken from a dream, his expression slightly changing,

“I know now!

This region is overflowing with Yuanci, blocking the Will of the heaven and earth, hence here, whether it’s Demonic Beasts, Spirit Beasts, or Cultivators, even with advancement, they cannot be tempered by the Thunder Tribulation, so…”

“So you’re saying that this place could contain many beasts that have advanced but, due to the absence of Thunder Tribulation, could not complete the final advancement stages?”

Xiang Sirui interjected with a furrowed brow.

However, what he received was a grave shake of the head from Rui Chunqiu,

“No, I’m afraid that within the Eightfold Sea, there could be Class V Demonic Beasts!”
