Chapter 396: 137 Demon Falls, Mid-Core Formation (10K Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4
Su Yu came back to his senses and quickly started using the Jinchan technique, employing the secret Jinchan technique that swept through the universe, annihilating even the faintest traces of the souls of the Mountainside Master, the white-haired old man, and the alluring young woman.
Once it was confirmed that the three demon heads were really dead, Ma Shiqing stumbled a bit and withdrew the page he was holding.
The sky full of stars disappeared and the two returned to their original place.
Ma Shiqing’s face was pale, his body and the mana around him nearly depleted. He breathed heavily, and his head throbbed.
Su Yu waved his hand and collected the things left by the Mountainside Master, the white-haired old man, and the alluring young woman. He turned to look at Ma Shiqing, recalling the terrifying formation he had used, his gaze revealing a hint of shock.
‘The energy of each and every star was at least comparable to the later stage of the Core Formation. Each star represented the full force of a master in the later stage of Core Formation, thirty-six stars—’
Su Yu inwardly gasped in shock. Even he would have had to avoid such a formidable array.
Although the formation could not possibly confine him, and he could escape at any time, he likewise would not be able to confront Ma Shiqing within it.
Su Yu and Ma Shiqing shared a glance, neither one asking about the other’s methods nor revealing their trump cards. They erased the traces of the battlefield outside the mountains and returned harmoniously to the valley.
The same couldn’t be said for the Mountainside Master, the white-haired old man, and the alluring young woman. These three demons had met a tragic fate.
Originally, they thought they could take advantage of two juniors who were less powerful than them.
But
Neither of these two were normal!
Even if only one of these two – either Su Yu or Ma Shiqing – met these three people, it was highly likely that the demons would face imminent danger, unless they had some trump card to scare the two away.
Back in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Ma Shiqing and Su Yu return, Ma Tianling was ecstatic, “Ancestor, Senior Su, did you defeat those big demon heads? Did we win?”
Ma Shiqing gently rubbed her head and smiled, “Yes, we won.”
Su Yu took out the spoils of war he had just obtained, including a Qiankun ring, two Qiankun bags, several demon artifacts, and a demon spirit flag.
He rifled through the items belonging to the three Core Formation demons, all of whom turned out to be quite poor.
In total, they didn’t even have ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, or one thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones.
In terms of materials, there was nothing that Su Yu was interested in.
However, Su Yu discovered a sea-blue token within the Mountainside Master’s Qiankun ring, engraved with a mysterious turtle pattern. This item was clearly not from the Nine Souls Demon Ridge.
Ma Shiqing, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes when Su Yu took out the sea-blue token. He looked at the token and exclaimed in surprise.
Su Yu looked up at him, “Taoist friend Ma, do you recognize this token?”
After pondering for a moment, Ma Shiqing said, “This token should come from the sea. As far as I know, there’s an immortal sect called the Xuantian Sect nearby our Daqian immortal realm’s coastal seas. The token you’re holding in your hand is their sect’s trial token.”
Su Yu was taken aback at this, and asked, “An immortal sect from the sea? How does the power of this Xuantian Sect compare to that of the Da Yue Palace?”
Ma Shiqing couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this and shook his head, “There’s no comparison. The Xuantian Sect has Dividing Spirit Realm powerhouses, it’s the overlord of this area of the sea, only perhaps within the central territory of our Daqian immortal realm would you find powers that could match it.”
Dividing Spirit Realm experts!
Su Yu was extremely shocked and quickly asked Ma Shiqing for more information on the Xuantian Sect.
Ma Shiqing did not know much about the conditions within the sea realm.
However, under Ma Shiqing’s description, a map of the offshore sea area adjacent to the Daqian Immortal Realm gradually unfolded before Su Yu.
There were numerous large islands on the sea. Aside from desolate islands, there were cultivation forces on nearly every other island.”
“Like the Xuantian Sect, it’s one of the dominant Immortal Sect forces in the coastal sea area, and also one of the cornerstones that protect the human cultivators in the sea areas.”
“There are human cultivators on the sea islands, and there are Sea Clan in the sea. They are no different from the Demon Clan we have on land, able to command sea monsters.”
“The dangers encountered at sea half come from the Sea Clan and sea monsters; the other half comes from the unpredictable environment of the sea.”
“The power of heaven and earth, sometimes far exceeds what human cultivators can imagine.”
After hearing this, Su Yu became thoughtful and asked, “How far is this coastal sea from our Da Yue Mansion?”
After pondering for a moment, Ma Shiqing said, “If I were to head there on a lower third-order Flying Boat, it might take three to four years to get out to sea. That’s assuming there are no dangers along the way.”
That wasn’t too far.
It would probably take over five years to go to the central area of the Daqian Immortal Realm.
With a thoughtful expression, Su Yu said, “Taoist friend Ma, I’ll take this token. You can dispose of the other items.”
The items and treasures of the three were not many. Although there were four top-notch demon artifacts, those were demon artifacts and a bit troublesome to deal with. They were of little use to Su Yu.
All in all, these items might be worth two to three thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones in their hands.
Seeing that Su Yu wanted the token, Ma Shiqing nodded slightly and gathered up the remaining items.
