Chapter 254 - Futu Sect

The dagger was deep blue all over, as profound as the stars, with the words “Han Xing” engraved on the hilt.

It could pierce his Copper Thunder Pattern and leave marks on a Xuan-grade top-quality defensive equipment—it was evident that this Han Xing was not ordinary.

At the very least, it should be a Xuan-grade top-quality treasure, and it might even be a Xuan-grade top-grade treasure.

That spider silk was incomparably tough; even his Autumn Trace Sword couldn’t cut through it, which made it even more precious.

However, Lin Xuan readily agreed without any hesitation.

Firstly, he didn’t use daggers, and the Han Xing would be more effective in the hands of the Snow White Monkey.

Moreover, since there were two strands of spider silk, it wouldn’t hurt him to give one away.

After all, the stronger the Snow White Monkey became, the better it would be for him.

Furthermore, the benefits of the Earth Spirit Liquid far surpassed those of weapon materials—only true strength mattered.

After some fierce battle, Lin Xuan developed some insights and wanted to enter seclusion for a few days.

Finding an uninhabited cave, he blocked its entrance with a large rock, then took out the Ice Platform.

Tilting his head back, he dropped a droplet of Earth Spirit Liquid into his mouth and immediately began to circulate the Longevity Technique.

The rich Life Essence filled every pore, continuously purifying his body.

Inside, his Sixth Level Spirit Sea surged, enveloping a droplet of the Earth Spirit Liquid and rapidly absorbing its energy.

Lin Xuan’s cultivation was visibly growing at the speed of sight.

An hour later, his body expelled some black impurities.

Following the tempering by the Profound Ice Qi and the Ice and Fire Intense Flame Wine, Lin Xuan’s body had already surpassed the average Spirit Sea Realm martial artist.

Now nourished by the Earth Spirit Liquid, his body was comparable to that of a Half-step Melt Spirit Realm martial artist.

With both hands forming seals, the Power of Wind and Thunder surged, shaking off the filth from his body.

His hands changed seals as Lin Xuan closed his eyes and absorbed the energy of the Earth Spirit Liquid with all his might.

Beside him, the Snow White Monkey also swallowed a droplet of Earth Spirit Liquid, then with blurred eyes, fell into a deep sleep.

While Lin Xuan was in seclusion, five people from the Star Peak Sect encountered members of the Purple Extreme Demon Palace.

Without warning, the martial artists of the Star Peak Sect went all out and attacked the disciples of the Purple Extreme Demon Palace.

This unlucky disciple was Zi Ye, whose eyes had healed, and his cultivation had significantly improved.

Yet even so, he couldn’t withstand the ambush by the five.

“Purple Extreme Demon Pupil!”

Zi Ye deployed his Bloodline Power, releasing a large-scale Illusion Technique before swiftly fleeing.

“Hand over the golden Demon Beast Egg, or there will be no place for your Purple Extreme Demon Palace on the Floating Island!” Xu Xiao shouted fiercely.

“What fucking Demon Beast Egg?

I don’t know anything about it!” Zi Ye cursed, infuriated.

“Hmph, you might not have taken it, but your fellow disciples snatched our property.

If you know what’s good for you, work with us and together we’ll find that kid!” another person yelled.

Zi Ye didn’t believe their tall tales for a second, exerting his Bloodline Power to its limits and turning into a streak of light to escape.

“Could it someone else who snatched it?” Zi Ye’s thoughts raced; this time they had four people in total—aside from him, the other three were his senior brothers, one of whom had reached the Half-step Melt Spirit level.

Swoosh swoosh!

The sounds of air being torn apart sounded again from behind as the five from the Star Peak Sect chased after him, forming the Star Sword Array to besiege Zi Ye.

The Sword Light, like meteors, fell from the sky and exploded towards Zi Ye.

The terrifying aura was enough to annihilate a common Spirit Sea Seventh Layer martial artist.

“Purple Extreme Devil Shadow, Blood Evil Descent!”

The Bloodline Power within Zi Ye thundered as he launched his strongest attack, transforming into a Blood Demon to counter the falling Meteor Sword Rain.

Boom rumble!

One after another, large stars fell, smashing the ground into fragments as countless trees toppled and mountains shattered.

Zi Ye was severely injured and vomited blood.

However, relying on his Bloodline Power, he managed to withstand this wave of attacks.

Yet the next barrage of Meteor Sword Rain was fast approaching.

“Soul Fire!”

He clenched his teeth and executed his Pupil Skill, distracting a Martial Artist from Star Peak Pavilion and taking advantage of the chaos to flee.

“Star Peak Pavilion, I’ll remember this!” Zi Ye’s voice drifted from afar.

“Brother Fang!” the disciples of Star Peak Pavilion cried out loudly as they quickly rushed to the injured Martial Artist’s side.

“A Soul Attack, damn it!”

“That cursed Purple Extreme Demon Palace, we absolutely can’t let them go this time!”

“Let’s meet up with Senior Brother Qiming and make sure we eliminate them!”

The disciples of Star Peak Pavilion, filled with righteous indignation, took the injured disciple and left.

Three days passed in a hurry.

Lin Xuan finally completely absorbed that drop of Earth Spirit Liquid in his body, and with the enhancement of the Ice Platform, the effect was maximized.

Just one drop had raised his Cultivation to the Peak of the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer.

However, Lin Xuan did not consume any more.

Continuous improvement was not beneficial; he needed to consolidate through battle.

Putting away the Ice Platform, Lin Xuan saw that the Snow White Monkey beside him was still sleeping, shook his head, and then tossed it into the Demon Beast Bag.

Then, as if remembering something, his gaze flickered uncertainly.

Finally, Lin Xuan clenched his teeth and dropped a drop of Earth Spirit Liquid onto a Demon Beast Egg.

An intense wave of spiritual energy was emitted, and the basin-sized egg absorbed the Earth Spirit Liquid, radiating a faint golden glow.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Lin Xuan was filled with anticipation for the Demon Beast Egg, as it had shown signs of ancestral return, and now it was even nurtured with Earth Spirit Liquid, its future growth immeasurable.

After packing up the Demon Beast Bag, Lin Xuan walked out of the cave entrance.

Finding the next destination on the map, Lin Xuan set off again.

This time, however, he found nothing.

There was a deep pit on the ground where a Spiritual Medicine had clearly been dug up.

“Could it be a coincidence?” Lin Xuan’s heart sank a little as he headed to the next marked spot.

Similarly, the item had been taken.

“It seems I’m not the only one with the strategy,” Lin Xuan sighed, guessing that disciples from some Great Sects must have the same information.

Collecting his emotions, he set off again.

“There is a Stone Gate here, let’s go take a look first,” Lin Xuan noted a conspicuous location on the map.

He paid particular attention to things made of stone, for he still had a stone key, which might come in handy.

In a valley far in the distance, the disciples of the Star Peak Sect finally found the Mu family’s Martial Artists.

“That hint of aura is very weak, seems to be sealed.” But worry not, I’ve sensed that aura.

“Where?” the Martial Artists of Star Peak Sect asked eagerly.

They are moving fast; it looks like they’re heading towards the Futu Sect, a youth said.

This young man was handsome, with black hair casually draped over his shoulders, looking quite suave.

Surrounded by a thick layer of Soul Power, he floated in mid-air.

“Many thanks, Brother Mu Chen!” the disciples of Star Peak Pavilion expressed their gratitude.

“There’s no time to lose; we’ll head straight to the Futu Sect!”

“The Futu Sect is a key place on Floating Island and will be opening soon; probably all Martial Artists will be heading there,” Mu Chen said indifferently.

We should too, let’s go together.

“Then many thanks to Brother Mu Chen!” the leading youth spoke respectfully, “We will surely report this favor to Senior Brother Qiming!”
