71: Fight off sea monsters

"Dai Tianxiao is probably not simple either."

A cold glint flashed in your eyes.

Although he hasn't revealed any hostility toward you yet, you decided to make preparations early just in case, to prevent trouble before it happens.

Furthermore, if you could successfully kill him, you would gain an additional choice count.

You didn't rush to act, just observing from the outskirts of the Hidden Dragon Palace secretly.

But just then, you keenly sensed a fluctuation in the surrounding space.

You immediately struck out with your palm.

"Bang!"

A sturdy man had just stepped out of the space when he took your palm strike.

Although he retreated a few steps, he was actually thick-skinned and fleshy, remaining completely unharmed.

"How bold!"

"Whose subordinate are you? His Highness the Crown Prince, out of brotherly love, did not exterminate you all. Is this how you repay His Highness the Crown Prince?!"

Hearing this, you frowned slightly, but did not rush to act.

Because you could sense that the moment this sturdy man appeared, many people were rushing toward your direction.

They were well-trained, and were faintly protecting someone in the center.

You understood that this person was Dai Tianxiao.

Although you didn't know how you were exposed, you knew that today would likely be difficult to resolve peacefully.

"Ada, do not be like this."

"This must be City Lord Su of Tianhai City, who has recently risen to fame in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World."

"Although I do not know why City Lord Su has visited in the middle of the night, please enter the palace for a chat."

You were shocked, not expecting that your identity was already known to him.

Furthermore, although this Dai Tianxiao before you did not have high cultivation, he was meticulous and possessed an extraordinary demeanor.

Every gesture revealed a sense of dignity and confident composure of a person in a high position.

It was likely that before coming to see you, he had already made thorough preparations.

You did not accept Dai Tianxiao's invitation, but instead turned and left.

Ada still wanted to step forward to stop you, but was stopped by a wave of Dai Tianxiao's hand.

Furthermore, he shook his head at Ada, signaling him not to act rashly.

You saw all of this.

You did not know what this person was thinking, but you knew that his level of difficulty was far beyond that of the likes of Tang Chuan and Chu Han.

You left the Great Luo Dynasty.

Not long after, you returned to Tianhai City.

You began to practice quietly in Tianhai City.

Although your Qi Refining cultivation had reached a Bottleneck and was difficult to break through.

But there were currently no restrictions on your Body Refining Realm.

The 150th year.

You successfully reached the Middle Stage of the 6th rank in Body Refining.

The 160th year, Yao Beasts began to attack the city on a large scale.

You led Tianhai City to resist with all your might, but you were quickly trapped inside the city.

There was no other way; there were too many Yao Beasts.

You requested assistance from the Dynasty Alliance.

However, you did not receive a response for a long time.

You began to consider abandoning Tianhai City.

Although you knew that this would cause you to lose the blessing of the Power of Leadership, thereby slowing down your cultivation progress.

But you had to do it; after all, cultivating slowly was better than losing your life.

Fortunately, although the war had already started at the front lines, the Dynasty Alliance ultimately sent quite a few Cultivators to support Tianhai City.

Under your concerted resistance, you ultimately held off wave after wave of attacks from the Yao Beasts.

Endless Yao Beasts died on the land.

You refined their cultivation.

Although their cultivation was generally not high, many a little makes a mickle, and there was still a massive amount of spiritual power appearing in your Qi Sea.

You felt that you might be about to have a Breakthrough.

The 163rd year.

With the descent of a Tribulation lightning bolt, your cultivation finally reached the Void Tempering Realm.

With your greatly increased cultivation, you began to lead the Cultivators in Tianhai City to counterattack the Luanshen Sea.

Those great Yao were merely working for others, and after witnessing how valiant you were, they retreated back to the Luanshen Sea.

You achieved victory.

You did not choose to continue attacking the Luanshen Sea.

Because the Yao Beasts in the Luanshen Sea were incomparably powerful; even a Yao King in the near sea was not someone you could easily kill.

They did not retreat because they were afraid, but because they felt that the reward they received was not worth their effort.

After settling the Luanshen Sea, you arrived at the front lines where the two major forces were fighting.

Unlike last time.

This time, you stood openly on the side of the Dynasty Alliance.

At this moment, the battle had not yet entered the white-hot stage, so naturally, there was no need for a Void Tempering Cultivator like you to go to the battlefield.

You were assigned to an army and temporarily became a leader here.

You began to refine the enemies' cultivation on a small scale within the battlefield.

Although even the lowest-ranking soldiers of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation.

But to you, they were no different from ants and could not provide much help to you.

In fact, it was not as fast as your own cultivation.

You began to wait quietly for the arrival of the final battle, hoping that you could advance your cultivation at that time.

The 173rd year.

As Tang Lu slashed out with a sword, all the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators from both sides flew into the sky and fought in a melee.

You feigned engaging the enemy, and half an hour later, you withdrew.

You silently arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

At this time, the place where they were fighting had already been covered with the corpses of many Cultivators.

You secretly activated the Immortal Refining Demon Scripture.

A moment later, your cultivation reached the second level of Void Tempering.

At the same time, your Divine Sense quickly swept across the entire battlefield.

You discovered Gu Xunxian!

He was also operating a Demonic Technique at this time.

But he was different from you; your Immortal Refining Demon Scripture only refined the Cultivators' cultivation, while the Cultivation Technique he was using devoured the Cultivators entirely.

His actions were extremely unscrupulous, far more rampant than yours.

Possessing an Immortal Artifact, he was attacking everyone on this battlefield indiscriminately.

Furthermore, the Cultivators who could injure him dared not attack him, while other angry Cultivators were powerless to do anything.

His cultivation was rising crazily.

Not long after, it had already grown from the first level of Soul Transformation to the sixth level of Soul Transformation.

You wanted to strike to kill him in one blow.

But after thinking of the methods he used last time, you ultimately gave up.

Because in this simulation, you still had a bright future and could completely elevate to a higher cultivation.

To see more of this world.

There was simply no need to fight him to the death.

As for these dead Cultivators, in order to prevent being discovered by Gu Xunxian, you did not refine the remaining cultivation on them either.
