623: Chapter 623 Island

But this time was different. Dong Xiangjun and the others had specifically chosen a secluded spot and set up a Ten Directions Trapping and Killing Formation to isolate the area. Since they were actively seeking death, it would have been unreasonable not to kill them.

Without giving the four of them any chance to turn the tables, four rays of Primordial Sword Light pierced into their brows, and then the Sword Intent shattered their Nascent Soul.

Liu Xuan gathered their corpses and threw them all into his Grotto-Heaven Small World.

Seeing the corpses of the two women, Dong Xiangjun and Saint Daughter Gu Yujing, Liu Xuan shook his head and sighed, "It is a pity that such beautiful bodies can now only serve as fertilizer for flowers!"

The growth of Spirit Medicine in the Grotto-Heaven Small World required not only the vitality of withering and flourishing but also Spiritual Qi.

After a Nascent Soul True Lord died, the Spiritual Qi within their corpse would gradually dissipate, making it excellent fertilizer.

Liu Xuan briefly sorted through the items in the four people's spatial rings and then stored them in his internal Grotto-Heaven and the ancestral genealogy ring on his hand.

Despite having a bountiful harvest, there was no sign of joy on Liu Xuan's face, for he had discovered a serious problem.

The Grotto-Heaven Small World within his body also affected the consumption of Spiritual Qi when activating the teleportation Formation, and this consumption increased drastically as the distance grew.

Previously, the distance between Biyou Immortal City and Star Immortal City was not too far, so Liu Xuan had not felt there was a problem.

This place was over ten million li away from Biyou Immortal City, so the amount of Spiritual Qi required for him to teleport while carrying the Grotto-Heaven Small World was quite exaggerated.

'It seems I cannot use the Grotto-Heaven Small World to exploit loopholes in the teleportation Formation!'

For just ten million li, a single teleportation would consume several million Spirit Stones, and that was with the Biyou City Spiritual Vein providing a portion of the Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi that the Biyou City Spiritual Vein could provide was limited; otherwise, it would affect the normal operation of the entire city.

In other words, the further the teleportation distance, the more Spiritual Qi provided by Spirit Stones would be needed.

Liu Xuan roughly calculated that if he forcibly carried the Grotto-Heaven Small World along with all his possessions, it would cost about one Spirit Stone for every li of teleportation.

A single trip to the East Sea would require a full hundred million Spirit Stones...

However, the reason so many Spirit Stones were consumed was mainly due to the wither-thrive life-death cauldron, as well as the fact that Liu Xuan's assets were too substantial and he possessed too many high-grade treasures.

As long as he was not fleeing for his life, there was actually no need to carry all his possessions while teleporting; the Grotto-Heaven Small World could be left in Biyou City, as he had countless Incarnations anyway.

Using the teleportation Formation purely for transporting goods and people was profitable in most cases.

After dealing with the four corpses, Liu Xuan instructed Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan, "Clean up the scene, then set off as soon as possible. Do not delay."

After saying this, he stepped into the spatial mirror and vanished. The light of the Formation Plate dimmed, and it returned to its original state in Yin Lizhi's hands.

Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan exchanged a glance. Neither spoke, but they immediately erased the aura of the battlefield, then simply repaired the traveling palace and continued flying east.

Inside the Tier 4 Flying Boat palace, Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan sat opposite each other in silence for a long time. Finally, Yin Lizhi lost her patience and asked, "Sister Xiaowan, what do you think Husband's cultivation level actually is?"

The combat power Liu Xuan had just displayed had frightened them. There were four Nascent Soul True Lords, including one at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and they had even set up a Formation in advance.

Against such a lineup, even a Peak Nascent Soul great Cultivator would only be able to protect themselves; being able to force them back would already be considered very good!

For someone to instantly kill everyone like Liu Xuan did, while looking so effortless, was a method only a Daoist Lord would possess.

The two women had lived in the East Sea for a long time. Although the entire East Sea was relatively chaotic, the chaos was only among the lower ranks.

With Golden Core True Persons as the dividing line, for high-level Cultivators, the entire Cultivation World could be considered orderly.

Since the end of the great war in the Western Desert, the entire Cultivation World had not been truly chaotic.

Take the Southern Border, which was currently the most chaotic, for example. Even during the years when the Lihuo Lineage and the Endless Demon Court fought the most fiercely, the total number of Nascent Soul True Lords who fell was not many.

Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan had not seen many Nascent Soul True Lords fall due to combat, so today's battle had a huge psychological impact on them.

"I don't know!"

Liu Xiaowan was older and more experienced, but she also could not fathom Liu Xuan's current Realm.

His cultivation aura was clearly at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, yet his strength was exaggeratedly powerful, reaching a level she could not comprehend at all.

Recalling the Arhat Du'e who had almost shattered the Tier 4 flying palace's defensive Formation with a single palm, his strength would be at the level of a high-ranking Elder even in the Joyous Union Sect.

Such a figure, as long as they did not oppose a Daoist Lord, could walk sideways anywhere, yet he was casually killed by Liu Xuan...

The atmosphere in the room fell into silence again. After a long while, Yin Lizhi said hesitantly, "Husband... the methods he used all looked very strange; they don't look like proper Divine Ability!"

Six Desires Heavenly Demonic Qi, Avici Karmic Fire—Yin Lizhi could feel the demonic nature within them just by observing. Considering her relationship with Liu Xuan, she did not speak too bluntly.

"What is proper or improper when it comes to Divine Ability and methods?" Liu Xiaowan said, "Junior Sister, don't forget, in the eyes of many Cultivators in the Dao Court, our Joyous Union Sect is also considered demonic cultivation and the Evil Path."

The Red Dust Branch of the Joyous Union Sect to which Liu Xiaowan belonged was both righteous and evil, and it was suppressed by the Dao Court from time to time. She did not care whether what Liu Xuan used was righteous or evil methods.

"That's true!" Yin Lizhi nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Husband is kind-hearted and a virtuous gentleman; I have seen these things with my own eyes, so it cannot be false!"

Liu Xuan cared deeply for the many low-cultivation female Cultivators in his backyard and did not bully them because they were weak, which showed he had a benevolent heart.

He was extremely patient with the many three or four-year-old infants in the clan and often spent time playing with a group of young children, which showed he had a loving heart.

Such a person with a benevolent and loving heart, even if he cultivated Demonic Path methods, must be doing so to punish evil and promote good!

Half a month later.

The Flying Boat finally arrived at the East Sea. Yin Lizhi looked at the boundless blue ocean and felt the familiar sea breeze, and an inexplicable emotion rose in her heart.

When she was ordered to go to the Southern Border to meet a Saint she had never heard of, she had never thought it would lead to today's situation.

"Sister Xiaowan, are you returning to the Red Dust Branch first, or are you coming with me to see the Daoist Yin-Yang?" Yin Lizhi asked.

After the turmoil on the road, the relationship between Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan had become relatively more harmonious, and their conversation lacked the previous formality.

"I will return to the Red Dust Branch first to see if I can persuade my Revered Master," Liu Xiaowan said calmly. "Regardless of the outcome, I will find you and regroup as soon as possible."

After saying this, she left the Flying Boat with her subordinates, then took out another Flying Boat and separated from Yin Lizhi to act independently.

Now that they had entered the territory of the Joyous Union Sect, there was no need to worry about encountering any danger. Yin Lizhi ordered her subordinates to control the Flying Boat with full power and head straight for the headquarters of the Yin-Yang Branch at the fastest speed.

In less than a day, a circular island appeared in the boundless ocean, with dense small islands scattered around it like stars in the sky.

The Yin-Yang Archipelago!

The headquarters of the Joyous Union Sect's Yin-Yang Branch had arrived.
