Chapter 527: 159 Three Great Nascent Soul True Monarchs Arrive_2
“Upon close calculation, this True Monarch Muyun might already be over seven hundred years old, and he has broken through the Nascent Soul Realm more than three hundred years ago. If he does not make any further breakthroughs in his cultivation, he might be close to his life’s limit.”
“Behind the Ta Yuan Corporation is an island known as Tai Yuan Island located in the central area of the archipelago. Tai Yuan Island is abundant in spiritual wood, and it is said that there are even fourth-grade spiritual woods being produced here. It is because of this foundation that the Yuan family behind Ta Yuan Corporation could rise quickly and become the rising star in the cultivation realm of Qing Xuan Archipelago.”
After a pause, Huang Pu added: “The rise of the Ta Yuan Corporation happened less than one hundred years ago, and the elder ancestor behind them is very young, reportedly just over five hundred years old. He has broken through the Nascent Soul Realm less than a hundred years ago, so he should still be at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm? At most, he could be at the second level.”
Then, Huang Pu continued: “The last is the Shi family of Shi Jie Island. This island is close to our Huang Ling Island and is one of the several island powers around us.”
“The cultivation level of their clan elder is rumored to be at the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but I cannot verify the authenticity.”
The puppet then asked: “What about Qing Xuan Immortal Sect?”
Huang Pu was taken aback, but then he looked at the puppet and cautiously said: “Behind Qing Xuan Immortal Sect is a True Monarch in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and it seems that the sect leader is also a True Monarch in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. With two True Monarchs in one sect, they are the ruling power of Qing Xuan Island, the central island of Qing Xuan Archipelago.”
“However, although the Qing Xuan Immortal Sect is strong, it can’t establish dominion over other powerful forces; thus, it is only nominally the ruling power in the cultivation realm of Qing Xuan Archipelago.”
The puppet nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Do they have a teleportation array? A teleportation array to Bai Ling Island?”
Huang Pu said: “I’ve heard that they do, but I haven’t seen it myself, so I am not sure whether it truly exists or if it can teleport to Bai Ling Island.”
Then, Huang Pu cautiously looked at the puppet and said, “My Lord, if we travel from Qing Xuan Archipelago to Bai Ling Island by a flying boat, it might only take one year. Generally, it would be more economical to travel to Bai Ling Island ourselves.”
The puppet naturally understood that activating the teleportation array on his own would require a significant cost.
Even in the Earth Immortal Mansion, they would only activate the teleportation array when they have to perform tasks. Furthermore, the cost can be shared among many people and the journey is not far, which makes the cost bearable for others.
However, for him, if the teleportation array could save him some time, he would make back the cost himself.
If he could transform the Refining Qi Pot and refine fourth-grade spiritual liquid–
The cost of the teleportation array would be negligibly inconsequential.
‘After resolving the trouble with these forces, I can go visit the Qing Xuan Island and check if there is a teleportation array. If not, I will have to travel to Bai Ling Island on my own.’ the puppet planned in his mind.
Apart from the fragment of the Refining Qi Pot, he had many other resources, such as high-grade third-level talismans, of which he had accumulated close to a thousand.
Including the treasures in the vaults of the Gong Yue Corporation, Black Flood Dragon Corporation, and Huang Ling Island Corporation, he had materials for alchemy, talismans, formations, puppets, and so on.
The journey to the Earth Immortal Mansion this time would be worth it even if it were a bit more expensive.
Besides, having explored the route this time, if something arises in the future, he could rush to the Earth Immortal Mansion quickly.
Or come from the Earth Immortal Mansion to the Fu Ling Sea Area.
The two maps might interconnect, each laying their foundation in this cultivation world, creating several hidden bases.
‘Later, I can try to go to Qing Xuan Island or the center of the archipelago and occupy a place to set up a base.’ the puppet continued planning, ‘After that, there are places like Bai Ling Island.’
If his bases were scattered all over the Fu Ling Sea Area in the future, this place might become his lair.
While he was contemplating, wave after wave of ferocious aura gathered outside Huang Ling Mountain, looming over the Huang Family’s land like impending storm clouds. Six battleships approached Huang Ling Mountain from three directions.
Inside the family’s great hall, the puppet snapped back to reality and glanced at the sky outside Huang Ling Mountain. It seemed like he could see through the heavens and earth and notice the six magic artifact battleships closing in.
Outside Huang Ling Mountain.
The six battleships advanced together, but when they came close to Huang Ling Mountain, they all slowly came to a halt.
On one of the Mu Feng Corporation’s battleships, Taoist Bai Ying looked at the peaceful and tranquil Huang Ling Mountain ahead with surprise. They had already arrived outside Huang Ling Mountain with their six battleships, and the Huang Family still hadn’t activated their Mountain Protection Array?
There’s no way they still haven’t realized what’s happening!
Looking at a white-robed figure in front of him, he asked cautiously: “Ancestor, could it be that the Huang Family’s Mountain Protection Array has been destroyed? It’s peculiarly quiet.”
On the other two battleships, the two men who had tea with the Huang Family’s Ninth Elder, Huang Min, were also slightly surprised.
“What does this mean?”
“Do they not plan to fight us? Are they considering surrendering?”
Both of them were shocked and a little puzzled.
At this moment.
Whiz!
An escape light quickly approached the land of the Huang Family from the front and instantly appeared in front of the six battle warships.
The person who came was none other than Taoist Fujiang.
Taoist Fujiang was indifferent, his aura of Core Formation ninth level condensed and unabashedly displayed. His imposing aura was as vast as the heavens and the earth, even when facing six warships, there was not a shred of fear or loss of momentum.
Taoist Fujiang looked at the six battling warships in front of him, made a seal with his hands in a salute, and said calmly, “My senior True Monarchs, our Monarch has an invitation for you.”
On the three leading warships, the main three all furrowed their brows, but didn’t seem surprised in the slightest.
Ever since the incident at Yellow Ling island several months ago, they had investigated the Huang Family’s movements. Although the puppet clone had ordered information about him to be sealed, many had seen Taoist Heijiao and others enter the Huang Family with their warships.
The Huang family allowed the warships to come in without engaging in a fight.
Subsequently, many strangers appeared in the Huang Family and in Yellow Ling Island business group, and many key positions were replaced.
All these changes suggested with 99% certainty that the Huang family had ‘changed ownership’.
And the people, or rather the powers that could accomplish such a feat, couldn’t possibly be from the Core Formation stage, and most likely not even from the nascent soul stage.
In all probability, there was now a Nascent Soul True Monarch existing behind the Huang family.
A massive battle flag fluttered in the wind atop the warship in the middle. The battle flag was a faint blood red, but embroidered on it was a lush green spirit tree.
As the banner waved in the wind, a faint green immortal light enveloped the warship. The thousand Cultivators under the cover of the immortal light felt their life and mana to be enriched and their mana circulation speed somewhat faster.
This allowed them to recover their mana faster, much like an infinite recovery mana pill.
This was the battle flag of the Shiji Family from the Stone Island, representing the imperial majesty of the Stone Family.
The ancestor of the Stone family had hair that was still shiny and black. Each hair strand was as crystal clear as jade, each strand’s toughness comparable to that of a low-level magic artifact. His face appeared to be that of a forty-year-old man, slightly thin and around seven feet tall.
He wore a grey robe, his expression indifferent, an air of dignity in his eyes.
His eyes were as deep as a galaxy, and his immortal aura was as vast as an abyss.
Each of his actions resembled the majestic peaks of immortal mountains, his immortal aura was like the grand sun in the sky, causing all the cultivators on the warship to feel a sense of reverence, unable to look directly at him, let alone harbor any disrespectful thoughts.
With a step, he walked slowly towards the Huang Family’s land and casually said, “Comrade Muyun, Comrade Taiyuan, since we are so cordially invited, let us go together and meet them.”
“Agreed.”
“We shall.”
Figures also appeared on the two battle warships of the Mufeng Business Group and Taiyuan Business Group, and they both walked slowly towards the Huang family’s land with the Stone Family’s ancestor.
Under the humble salute of Taoist Fujiang, three True Monarchs stepped into the Huang family’s land in a breath.
They didn’t fear that the Mountain Protection Array of the Huang Family’s land would be activated.
In the blink of an eye, the three True Monarchs were already outside the main hall of the Huang family.
Taoist Fujiang turned around and looked at the six warships outside Huangling Mountain, a cold smile crossing his face. However, he didn’t say anything and returned to the Huang Family’s land.
Taoist Bai Ying and others on the warships furrowed their brows at Taoist Fujiang’s actions.
Facing their six warships, this man was still so arrogant. Either he was very self-confident, or he was overly arrogant.
They just didn’t know about the strength of the True Monarch behind this man——
A few people pondered with furrowed brows, but dared not to be negligent.
The six warships hovered outside Huangling Mountain, where thousands of cultivators of the three major forces were quietly watching the Huang Family’s land, waiting for their ancestor’s orders.
