576: Flowing Light Sand Realm

At the same time.

In the northern part of the Chaotic Sea, on Gui Zhou Island, a streak of flowing light pierced the sky, disappearing into the boundless clouds that enveloped Gui Zhou Island.

At the outer border of Gui Zhou Island, atop a high peak, a figure gently reached out, allowing the flowing light to fall into her hand. Then, her figure moved, heading towards Qingyang Peak.

Qingyang Peak, Zhou Family Main Hall.

"Patriarch, news has come from the Flowing Light Sand Realm. There are rays of light everywhere, suspected to be the Immortal Cave of Great Power Lei Yan about to appear."

After making the announcement, a figure quickly entered the main hall, respectfully speaking to the young, composed man in a crimson-gold elegant robe at the head of the hall, handing him the Jade Slip containing the news.

"It's about to appear?"

Zhou Dingyang, who was reviewing the messages sent by the Clan members stationed in the Dark Star Great World, gently put down the spiritual jade record in his hand. He beckoned lightly to the person bowing in salute, and the Jade Slip flew into his hand.

Zhou Dingyang glanced at it.

"I understand."

Zhou Dingyang waved his hand, dismissing the person. He then pondered for a moment, and several streaks of flowing light shot out from the main hall, flying in various directions.

A moment later.

A figure in purple robes and with purple hair entered from outside the main hall.

"Grand-Aunt."

"Patriarch."

Zhou Dingyang rose to greet her.

"Is there movement within the Flowing Light Sand Realm?"

Zhou Xiutong returned the greeting, asking Zhou Dingyang.

"Indeed."

Zhou Dingyang handed over the Jade Slip in his hand.

"Good, a Great Power who wields both thunder and flame Dao. I will personally make a trip."

Zhou Xiutong's expression showed a hint of joy. She was well aware of the current situation of the Clan. They possessed top-tier Legacy, the eighth-rank Azure Lotus Nirvana Dao Canon, as well as various Legacies of the fifth rank and below, but Legacies for the Void Refining and Dao Integration realms were extremely scarce.

This was also a sign of insufficient foundation.

The Zhou Family had risen too quickly; to have such a foundation now was already astonishing.

However, compared to the top forces in the Chaofeng Ancient Realm, they were still somewhat lacking.

Therefore, the Zhou Family was extensively excavating and collecting various spells, Divine Abilities, and Legacies, accepting all comers.

In the Chaotic Sea, many Loose Cultivators with excellent Luck, after obtaining an Opportunity, would choose to trade with the Zhou Family if they wished to maximize their benefits.

Due to the Zhou Family's current status and reputation, no incidents of using power to oppress others had occurred.

Thus, over the years, all sorts of strange and unusual spells and Divine Abilities had been added to the Cultivation Manual Tower.

Even if one did not cultivate them, one could study them more. If encountered, one would know how to respond in advance.

This prevented capsizing in a ditch due to lack of knowledge.

"Grand-Aunt, based on past experience, if this place is a Legacy site, high-level Cultivators might not be able to enter."

"I have already notified the outstanding Disciples of the yun, xing generation, and chuan generations to accompany Grand-Aunt."

Zhou Dingyang stopped Zhou Xiutong, who was about to leave, and quickly said.

"The Patriarch is thoughtful."

Zhou Xiutong's heart stirred, and she nodded.

Just then.

In the northern part of Gui Zhou Island, on Heimu Peak, which was shrouded in black Qi.

A young figure in a light blue robe entered Heimu Peak, arriving at the summit.

"Grand Elder."

Zhou Dingze chuckled, coming to the side of the lazy figure who was gently swaying on a mystic ice recliner.

"Speak, what do you need me for?"

Black Demon Dao Lord's gaze casually swept over Zhou Dingze's slightly fawning expression.

"Grand Elder is discerning."

Zhou Dingze chuckled.

He then thought of the news he had just received from Zhou Dingyang, sorted it out in his mind, and slowly recounted it.

A moment later.

"Void Refining Immortal Cave?"

"Alright, I've been lying down for so long, it's time to stretch my muscles."

After Zhou Dingze finished speaking, Black Demon Dao Lord was unconcerned. A mere Immortal Cave of a Void Refining Great Power would not have been in his eyes even when the Great Power was alive, let alone now.

In his entire life, he had only suffered a setback at the hands of the black serpent who had not yet achieved Dao Lord status. As for others, if they had not entered the Dao Integration realm, they would naturally not be in his eyes.

"Many thanks, Grand Elder."

Zhou Dingze's heart settled.

He remembered what Zhou Dingyang had said earlier: Xuan Dao Palace and Xinlai Ancient Kingdom would both send people. Therefore, for whatever consideration, the Zhou Family also needed a Void Refining Great Power to personally go and oversee the situation.

Just in case.

"However, This Lord/Monarch will not interfere in the affairs of a group of Juniors. If there is danger then, This Lord/Monarch will appear."

Black Demon Dao Lord thought for a moment, recalling Mo Xuan's approach, and felt that only by acting at the very last and most critical moment could he demonstrate his status. So, he changed his mind and added another sentence.

"This, Grand Elder can decide on your own."

Zhou Dingze was stunned, then agreed without hesitation.

"Hmm."

Black Demon Dao Lord feigned an air of importance and nodded slightly.

Zhou Dingze left Heimu Peak and headed back to Qingyang Peak to report.

More than a month later.

Outside Gui Zhou Island, above the sea, a huge spirit boat was quietly docked.

A command flag symbolizing the highest status in the Chaotic Sea, a snake-patterned zhou character command flag, fluttered in the wind above the spirit boat.

Figures stood on the spirit boat.

In the sky, a purple light suddenly appeared.

Zhou Xiutong gently waved her hand.

"Rise."

Buzz~

The spirit boat hummed, and streaks of spiritual light emerged.

It slowly sailed towards the Eastern Desolate Borderland... Chaotic Sea, Xuanyun Realm, Xin Lai Realm, at the junction of the three realms, rays of light shimmered continuously and brightly.

In the central part of the Flowing Light Sand Realm.

In the air and on the ground, figures with various appearances and auras gathered.

Some had excited expressions, some were calm, and some looked towards the shimmering central area with a hint of hidden worry.

That was the center of this anomaly, but no matter how those figures used their methods, they could not enter it even a sliver, unable to see the true appearance within the shimmering light.

"It seems it's true, as the rumors say, that at least ten lei yan tokens are needed to open this Immortal Cave."

Among the crowd, a Nascent Soul True Monarch secretly pondered.

Buzz~

At this moment.

Huge Spiritual Qi fluctuations came from the outer area of the Flowing Light Sand Realm.

"That is, the spirit boat of the Qingyang Zhou Clan from the Chaotic Sea..."

Not long after.

A huge spirit boat broke through the air and entered.

"Quick, get out of the way."

In the air, the expressions of many figures changed slightly, and they all moved aside.

Buzz~

The spirit boat slowly stopped, no longer advancing.

As the figures below or in the air were momentarily stunned.

A huge purple phantom emerged from the spirit boat, which had a serpent-patterned zhou character command flag hanging on it.

The purple phantom reached out, and the world changed color. Faintly, purple-gold lightning with a hint of black flickered in the sky above the Flowing Light Sand Realm, pressing down towards the center of the shimmering light.

"This, what a powerful might!"

Someone's heart trembled.

Boom!

The shimmering light vibrated, resisting the purple phantom, and was not broken open.

A moment later.

The purple phantom withdrew its hand, disappearing into the spirit boat.

"As expected, it cannot be broken open."

Inside the spirit boat, Zhou Xiutong, with her hands clasped behind her back, was not surprised. It was merely a test just now; if it had opened, perhaps they could have gained a significant lead.

"That was Venerable Zixiao just now..."

"I heard that he was already a powerful existence in the Venerable realm before the age of three hundred, and even some older generation powerhouses admitted defeat."

"Even with just a fleeting glimpse now, one can see the formidable strength of Venerable Zixiao."

"As expected of the number one Prodigy of the Chaotic Sea..."
