Chapter 61 - The Eldest Apprentice Brother

Chapter 61: Chapter 59: The Eldest Apprentice BrotherIn the North Sea, there are countless spiritual islands, and at this moment, a man and a woman are confronting each other on a spiritual island abundant with Spiritual Energy, neither large nor small.

The man has an exceptionally handsome face, but his pupils are eerily red. The girl looks just over ten years old, young but already showing the promise of unparalleled beauty in the future.

"Little girl, I’d advise you not to move recklessly. You’ve been infected with my Demon Seed. It’s better for you to obediently listen," the man says with an ill-intentioned smile, but his handsome face is quite pale.

"Hmph, a heavily wounded member of the Demon Clan shouldn’t dream of making me submit," the girl says stubbornly, her cheeks flushed with determination, revealing herself to be Qingling who had just left Ye Qiu’s line of sight.

The cost for the male cultivator from the Demon Clan to escape in the face of Divinity Transformation and Unification cultivators is undoubtedly high, but he is at the Nascent Soul Stage, after all. Even with Qingling’s various methods, she is temporarily no match for him, and moreover, she has been infected with the Demon Seed, leaving them both in a stalemate.

On the other side of the North Sea, Ye Qiu wields his longsword, breaking through myriad enchantments with a single stroke, as a massive sea beast collapses thunderously before him.

Ten years later, in the depths of the North Sea, a sea area spanning thousands of acres is covered by thunder and lightning, countless bolts slashing down like free for all - apocalyptic, as if the world were ending.

In this Thunder Domain that many cultivators and demon beasts fear, Ye Qiu brandishes his sword and leaps forward. He has been cultivating here for three years but has yet to reach the central region.

Today, he progresses several hundred meters further, almost there; Ye Qiu looks at the patch of Thunder Liquid with a determined gaze.

Thunder Liquid, coveted by countless cultivators as a heaven-sent natural treasure, not only forges a cultivator’s foundation but also elevates the quality of Magic Treasures. A Magic Treasure tempered by Thunder Liquid is the weapon most dreaded by demons and also has a certain chance to become sentient.

However, Thunder Liquid is hard to find, only present in the center of the Thunder Sea. The thunder that can gather Thunder Liquid is also very extraordinary; a slight misstep could lead to complete obliteration.

Ye Qiu has been striving for that patch of Thunder Liquid for three years, gradually getting closer to the central region. Over these years, his body has been tempered by the thunder to become unusually tough, even seeming to have lightning flickering within his bones.

Taking out the Thunder Essence Stones, Ye Qiu weaves a net with the thunder at the core, with High-level Thunder Essence Stones distributed at the nodes of the vast net. Though it pales in comparison to the Heaven and Earth Net from Ancient Times, it would also be an extremely rare Treasure Artifact in the Cultivation World.

Almost there, with a solemn expression, Ye Qiu throws the Silent Annihilation Longsword in his hand. The longsword stops in the center of the Thunder Liquid, continuously undergoing tempering, with a purplish-blue glow flowing over the blade, exuding overwhelming Spiritual Energy.

And Ye Qiu himself also releases the Spiritual Energy shield around his body, using only his physical form to resist the purest thunder and lightning at the heart of the Thunder Domain.

If any cultivator were to pass by this Thunder Domain, they would notice a person, a sword, and a net standing amidst the central region, where the lightning that could annihilate cultivators is continuously tempering them.

In the Demon World, a woman who looks like a Heavenly Immortal is holding a snow-white fox in her arms. Upon closer inspection, the fox actually has eight tails.

"Demoness, quickly put our Young Master down." Behind the woman, dozens of members of the Demon Clan chase after her in a panicked frenzy, with the leader, an elder, roaring furiously.

That woman is none other than Qingling. Upon hearing the elder’s words, she responds with a provocative smile, "If the little fox wishes to follow me, it is mine now."

"Impudent!" the elder says, incensed, transforming into a silver wolf over ten meters long, rapidly catching up with her speed.

Qingling grits her teeth, muttering something under her breath, after which her face turns pale, and her figure instantly vanishes from the spot.

Seeing this, the members of the Demon Clan are enraged, each transforming back to their original forms, howling towards the sky, and splitting into several teams to chase in all directions.

Since the great war in Ancient Times, the Demon Clan suffered a heavy defeat, and the bloodlines of various clans grew increasingly diluted. The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox has become a legend; for thousands of years, the highest the white fox clan within the Demon Clan has ever produced was a seven-tailed fox. This eight-tailed fox who was just born less than a hundred years ago is the closest existence to the Ancient Demon Clan, and with extraordinary talent, it holds the hope of growing the ninth tail. It represents the hope of their entire Demon Clan, yet while its mind was still immature, it was lured away by a Human Clan female cultivator, how could they not be furious?

"Search, have all clans enter the Human World, regardless of the cost, we must find that female cultivator," commanded the Great Elder in the Demon Hall. Since their Human Clan has taken the lead in breaking the agreement, they can’t blame them for not being polite.

"Heh, the little fox is really gullible, followed me just for a Beggar’s Chicken," Qingling said joyfully as she held the fluffy little creature, having shaken off the pursuit of the Demon Clan.

And the little fox just looked at her blankly, not realizing what had happened at all.

"You really got yourself a bargain," said a handsome man as he walked up to her and naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, his expression unclear as he looked at the little fox, and he was the very Demon Clan member who had escaped with a blood escape technique back then.

The little fox seemed to feel threatened, curling up and hiding in Qingling’s arms, causing her to let out a series of bell-like light laughter.

She then leaned into the man’s arms, coquettishly saying, "Alright, it’s just a little fox, you’re even jealous over this?"

The man took advantage of the situation to lean down and kiss the woman’s red lips, chuckling lowly: "This is no simple fox, but since you like it, we’ll keep it."

As he spoke, he deepened the kiss by holding the back of the woman’s head, and Qingling also slightly lifted her head, her cheeks blushing as she reciprocated.

Poor little fox, thrown out alone, bewilderedly looking around, whimpering.

In the Thunder Domain, after an uncertain amount of time, Ye Qiu opened his eyes. The Spirit Sword in the midst of the Thunder Liquid was dancing up and down, overjoyed upon sensing Ye Qiu’s presence.

Silent Annihilation has gained spirit!

An Immortal Artifact is more formidable than a Treasure Artifact precisely because they possess spirit, capable of absorbing Spiritual Energy to grow on their own. Although Silent Annihilation is still a Treasure Artifact, given enough time, it will one day transform into an Immortal Artifact.

Ye Qiu retrieved the Spirit Sword back into his Dantian. The Thunder Liquid at the center of the Thunder Domain had been entirely consumed, and it was unknown how many years it would take to grow back to its size from a few years ago, and now, it was time for him to leave.

"I heard that the Demon Clan has come to the Human World in large numbers, seems like they’re looking for something!"

"Yes, the barriers between the worlds have been broken, and the Cultivation World is becoming ever more chaotic."

As soon as Ye Qiu went ashore, he heard this news. Others might not understand, but he instantly realized that it must be the eight-tailed fox from the Demon World that Qingling had taken away, no wonder the Demon Clan was so enraged.

He decided to return to his sect first, then go look for traces of Qingling.

"Yiyiyi, Qiuqiu you’re back!" Little Wood Spirit sat on Ye Qiu’s shoulder, clutching a strand of his hair and acting spoiled. Qiuqiu didn’t come back to see him, feeling so aggrieved and unhappy!

"Wait, I’ll give you a nice gift in a moment," Ye Qiu said with amusement as he touched his head, first going up to meet his master.

"You have reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, not bad," the Great Elder nodded, then took his wrist and probed, his expression grew even more satisfied, "Stable foundation, very good!"

He looked at his only Disciple, the ever-unyielding icy expression on his face finally thawed slightly, his Disciple was even more outstanding than he had imagined!
