292: Sweeping across the open seas: the harvest of this month
The Azure Dragon Secret Realm has ended!
However, everything that happened on Dragon Island had not yet spread for a while.
Five days later, news that shocked the Outer Sea spread.
The Eight Cities were massacred!
Shen Tianxing, with one man and one saber, shattered the mountain gate with a single strike!
Even Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts of Yue Longxuan's caliber couldn't withstand a single move from him and were all annihilated!
"Oh my heavens! What are Shen Tianxing and his group trying to do? They actually wiped out the Eight Cities. Aren't they afraid that the Two of the Eight City Lords will return from Dragon Island to settle accounts with him?"
"This is simply audacious! Do they think that by stepping into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, they are invincible? As long as the top experts like the Two of the Eight City Lords are not dead, what's the use of destroying their cities? I'm afraid the experts of the Two Islands, Five Sects will not let him off either!"
"Something's not right. Didn't Shen Tianxing also enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm? He came out, but why haven't the others returned? Or did something unexpected happen inside? Otherwise, Shen Tianxing probably wouldn't dare to openly attack the Eight Cities like this!"
"Just him? Don't be ridiculous! If the big shots of these top forces were that easy to eliminate, would they have existed for so many years? Just wait, there will soon be a good show to watch!"
As the saying goes, when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold. Although the Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities had competition, they also had beneficial cooperation. With the destruction of the Eight Cities, the Two Islands, Five Sects could not remain indifferent!
They would not allow someone like Shen Tianxing to cause trouble right under their noses!
"I heard that Shen Tianxing, who destroyed the Eight Cities, even took all their treasures. How profound are the foundations of the Eight Cities? There must be at least a thousand catties of treasures like divine marrow, right? And all those Medicinal Pills, precious medicines, weapons, Treasure Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, and so on, just thinking about it makes people envious!"
"Even if you're envious, you need the ability to take them. I'm just afraid they'll have the life to take them but not the life to enjoy them!"
Although the news of the destruction of the Eight Cities shocked many Cultivators, no one paid too much attention. Everyone knew that as long as those City Lords returned, things would go back to how they were before!
Even some of the experts left behind by the Two Islands, Five Sects publicly declared that if he dared to cause trouble in the Two Islands, Five Sects, they would definitely cut off his head and display it to the public!
As soon as these words spread, many Cultivators in the Outer Sea sat back, waiting for a show!
This was the dominance a top force should have!
How could they be intimidated by a few unknown individuals?
You can destroy the Eight Cities?
Then come to the Two Islands, Five Sects and see what you can do against them!
And just as all the Outer Sea Cultivators were waiting for a show, at the mountain gate of the Five Sects, a figure suddenly appeared, enveloped in a blue divine light, like an Azure Emperor descending into the mortal world, and he made his move!
Nie Qingshan, the Vice Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, saw that terrifying figure, and his entire being showed shock!
"Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Third Layer? Who is Your Excellency? What is your intention in coming to my Qingyun Sect?"
Nie Qingshan was one of the few Peak Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, First Layer experts in Qingyun Sect. The Sect Master had gone to Dragon Island, and he was responsible for guarding Qingyun Sect.
Ordinary Cultivators wouldn't dare to cause trouble here. Who didn't know the power of Qingyun Sect?
The mountain gate of Qingyun Sect glowed brightly, with endless radiance covering the entire mountain. This was their mountain-protecting Formation.
Above the sky!
Shen Tianxing looked down at all living beings, curled his lips, and said, "Didn't you say you would make sure I wouldn't return?"
"Today, I will destroy Qingyun Sect, and let's see what you can do to stop me!"
Boom!!!
Azure Emperor Glazed Body!
Shen Tianxing was enveloped in a blue divine light, every inch of his muscle concealing terrifying power. This came from cultivating the Azure Emperor Glazed Body to the Third Layer Realm.
He revealed it for the first time!
"You are Shen Tianxing?!"
All the experts of Qingyun Sect were scared out of their wits!
Shen Tianxing had actually stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Third Layer?
How could they resist this!
The entire Qingyun Sect was enveloped in deep despair, including Nie Qingshan, who trembled all over, his face pale. Facing Shen Tianxing, who far surpassed them, they had no means of resistance!
"First, I'll destroy your Qingyun Sect. As for the other Sects and the Two Islands, I will visit them one by one!"
Boom!!!
The Azure Emperor Glazed Body erupted, and a terrifying Azure Emperor phantom appeared behind him, exuding supreme dominance, his hands like pillars supporting the sky, his fists shaking heaven and earth!
The terrifying body, accompanying Shen Tianxing's attack, shattered the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate with a single punch!
An hour later, Qingyun Sect was destroyed!
Before the news of Qingyun Sect's demise could even spread, in the Outer Sea, after only five days, another piece of shocking news emerged.
The Five Sects were destroyed!
This speed, compared to the last time the Eight Cities were destroyed, was only a mere five days!
Shen Tianxing's terrifying strength was displayed for the first time before the many Cultivators of the Outer Sea!
Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Third Layer!
Strength sufficient to sweep across everything in the Outer Sea!
The Five Sects, Eight Cities, thirteen top Schools of the Outer Sea were destroyed in ten days!
The Cultivators who were originally waiting for the return of the experts from those Sects and great cities also received a terrifying piece of news at this time!
All Cultivators who entered the Azure Dragon Secret Realm died!
The powerful individuals who went to Dragon Island were all killed!
And they all had one thing in common: they all died at Shen Tianxing's hands!
With strength that shocked the world, all the experts of all forces in the Outer Sea were trembling with fear, and no one dared to speak carelessly!
If they weren't careful and Shen Tianxing came knocking, they would be dead for sure!
"Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Third Layer cultivation. No wonder so many powerful individuals died in his hands. No wonder the Five Sects and Eight Cities were destroyed by him. With such strength, who in the Outer Sea can stop him?"
"Even more terrifying is that he even annihilated the Saints and Prodigies from the Inner Sea. Does he not even fear the top Sects of the Inner Sea? How much courage does he have? How dare he do such a crazy thing!"
"Shen Tianxing can no longer be judged by common sense. Judging by his current actions, I think the Two Islands are also in trouble..."
The Cultivators of the Outer Sea were not ordinary people, and there was no lack of intelligent individuals!
Their guesses came true after only two days!
Two days later!
Another piece of news came: the Two Islands were destroyed!
Immediately after, other powerful forces in the Outer Sea, second only to these top forces, were successively destroyed by over a hundred!
For a time, the entire Outer Sea was in a state of alarm, and no more arrogant voices were heard!
...Jiuxiao City, Yipinxuan Restaurant.
The top floor of the restaurant was booked!
A month had passed, and everyone, following Shen Tianxing's lead, made moves everywhere, with abundant gains!
Everyone received a large amount of divine marrow and precious medicines for Cultivation, and as for other treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and the like, there were even more!
Everyone spent half a month in Jiuxiao City, diligently going into seclusion to Cultivate for half a month, and each of their Realms had improved somewhat.
Li Tongshen and Liu Yueying both stepped into the Divine Profound Realm!
And Shen Tianxing had been in seclusion for half a month. It wasn't until today that the powerful aura in his room gradually receded.
Everyone knew that he was about to come out of seclusion!
..."Although Jiuxiao City is a bit remote, there are indeed many good things here!"
"Not to mention the Deep Sea Snow Jade, just this Jade Marrow Ice Brew, with its mellow taste, rich flavor, and a hint of clear snow Qi, no wonder Lord Shen chose to settle here."
In the past, under the control of the City Lord of Jiuxiao City, all Cultivators were severely suppressed. The most famous Deep Sea Snow Jade of Jiuxiao City, originally a precious Materials, fused with deep-sea cold iron, was incredibly hard and an excellent Materials for forging weapons.
It was deeply loved by various forces in the Outer Sea. However, after being controlled by the City Lord, situations often occurred where people and goods were swallowed up without a word, leading to fewer and fewer Cultivators daring to come here!
And to maintain his controlled position, the City Lord established connections with the Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities, paying annual tributes, so no one dared to make any unfavorable moves against this place.
It wasn't until Shen Tianxing and his group arrived and massacred all the experts in the entire city that Jiuxiao City regained its prosperity.
"He must have known that Fairy Liu loves wine, so he specifically chose this place!"
Fairy Liu loves wine. Whenever she goes to a new place, she specifically looks for fine wines to taste. Li Tongshen even suspected that Lord Shen's reason for not going on a rampage in Jiuxiao City was related to this wine.
It was clearly to win a beautiful woman's smile!
Liu Yueying leaned on the railing and said indifferently, "You can't envy what you can't have. If you learned even a bit of Lord Shen's ability, you wouldn't still be alone now!"
Li Tongshen's face immediately darkened. Was she insulting him?
Liu Xianyun gently picked up her wine glass, drank the fine wine in one gulp, and her lazy eyes swept over the two of them, saying lightly, "I think you two are just making conversation because you have nothing to say. Have these past few days been too easy? Do you want me to add more tasks?"
Daring to joke in front of her, they were asking for trouble!
"Fairy Liu, please spare me. The other day, I went to the sea to search for snow jade and almost got frozen into an ice block by the thousand-year-old ice. If I go again, I'm afraid my old bones won't be able to take it!"
Just thinking about the tasks Fairy Liu gave them made Li Tongshen shiver!
Deep Sea Snow Jade is buried deep in the seabed, where it is extremely cold, and the surrounding pressure is incredibly terrifying. Even Divine Profound Realm demons who specialize in Physical Body Cultivation might not be able to come back up!
Only those people from Jiuxiao City had special Treasure Artifacts that allowed them to dive into the deep sea to search for jade. Who had ever seen someone go directly into the deep sea without external aids?
Li Tongshen and Liu Yueying almost couldn't endure it!
This was after they had experienced the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, obtained a large amount of Cultivation resources, and re-Cultivated their Physical Body to be able to withstand it!
Liu Yueying quickly sat up straight, hugged Liu Xianyun's arm with both hands, and said with a giggle, "Fairy Liu, we won't dare to speak carelessly again next time."
She was already very familiar with Liu Xianyun, and intimate gestures were not uncommon. Occasionally joking and acting spoiled towards Liu Xianyun was no big deal.
She was just afraid of Liu Xianyun adding tasks.
Xing Yao watched their interaction and found it quite novel. She had never experienced anything like this before.
However, she didn't say much and just sat aside, smiling and drinking wine.
Liu Xianyun was noncommittal, saying unhurriedly, "Get up, aren't you going to greet your Lord Shen?"
"Lord Shen is out of seclusion?"
Liu Yueying rejoiced and quickly stood up. Li Tongshen, next to her, felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. As soon as the two stood up, the door outside opened.
Creak... "You two are quite fast. I'm the last one to come out of seclusion."
Shen Tianxing, clad in a black robe, holding his futuo saber, walked in leisurely.
"Lord Shen, you're finally out of seclusion!"
"Congratulations, Lord Shen, your strength has advanced further!"
Li Tongshen and Liu Yueying felt that Shen Tianxing, after this seclusion, was different from before!
His aura was deeper, and the divine radiance around him was contained, not revealing a trace of Qi. His entire being seemed to be fusing with the surrounding heaven and earth!
He was clearly right in front of them, but if they hadn't seen him with their own eyes, they would hardly have been able to sense any of his aura!
This clearly meant his strength had become even greater!
"Tianxing, come sit."
Xing Yao poured Shen Tianxing a cup of wine. She stood up and let him sit in her seat, while she moved a bit to the side.
Thus, Shen Tianxing was perfectly seated between Xing Yao and Liu Xianyun. Anyone looking would see him as comfortably embracing both!
"You've broken through again?"
Liu Xianyun was slightly startled, a look of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She thought her Cultivation speed was fast enough; she was now close to a Breakthrough and could smoothly advance in a few more days.
She didn't expect that after this seclusion, Shen Tianxing had actually directly stepped into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, Fourth Layer!
This Cultivation speed was truly... "I accidentally broke through. Your Realm has also made great progress. Today is worth a good celebration!"
Shen Tianxing did not hide his Cultivation. At least in front of them, he didn't need to deliberately conceal anything.
"Then it seems from now on, I'll really need you to protect me."
Her lazy, charming eyes fell on Shen Tianxing, and even her words became softer. A faint fragrance, as Liu Xianyun drew closer to Shen Tianxing, continuously drilled into his heart, like soft hands scratching at his chest.
"Good heavens, Fairy Liu has changed quite a bit recently. She never used to be like this?"
"Has she developed a new demeanor? Who can handle this!"
Shen Tianxing, at least, felt he couldn't handle it.
"Tianxing, try the Jade Marrow Ice Brew here. The wine has a long finish, is clear and mellow, truly a rare fine wine."
Xing Yao poured him wine from the side, looking at him with a smile.
"Come on, in the past month, we've had abundant gains, it's worth celebrating!"
"Cheers!"
The few of them drank a cup of wine. The clear taste of the wine going down their throats was indeed excellent.
"This time, our gains are immense: Top-Grade Spirit Stones, weapons, Treasure Artifacts, Cultivation Technique secret manuals, and other precious medicines, Medicinal Pills, Materials..."
"Among them, the most valuable divine marrow, there's a full thirteen thousand catties!"
Shen Tianxing took out several spatial rings and pushed one to each person.
"These are yours!"
"With your Realms, many Cultivation resources are actually no longer useful to you. The main content inside is divine marrow. Take them all!"
Liu Xianyun and Xing Yao also received a share.
The two didn't care; whether Shen Tianxing gave it to them or not was the same. If they needed it, he wouldn't refuse.
"Thank you, Lord Shen!"
"Thank you, Lord Shen!"
Li Tongshen and Liu Yueying were different. Their strength was low, and their contributions were small, but Shen Tianxing did not treat them unfairly, giving them generous rewards!
This was the importance of following the right person!
