Ningxiang noticed Qin Feng's worry and frowned slightly. "What should we do?"

"Should we continue forward or turn back?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then took out the sea chart of the Starry Sky Sea from his storage ring.

The Starry Sea is very vast, and you don't necessarily have to go through this area. You can take a detour, but it will only take a little more time.

There are many uninhabited islands in this sea area, as well as a super island that can accommodate tens of millions of people, the Suspended Island.

The island was to their left, nearly ten days' journey away.

As for the right side, the entire route is lined with uninhabited islands, and the map indicates that there are very few sea monsters along this route, making it a relatively safe route.

Qin Feng hesitated, however, because this route was only marked as safe on the map, but it might not actually be safe.

Taking the route towards the floating island is not necessarily absolutely safe.

The floating island is quite chaotic, with no rules and where strength reigns supreme.

Another question is whether Wuya and the others are really plotting against him?

If so, it is absolutely unsafe for them to take either the floating island route or another route.

At this moment, Ningxiang suggested, "Why don't we continue on our way as agreed?"

"Even if those people are really plotting against you, this route should be considered relatively safe."

"Both of the other routes may have been traps set for us!"

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "What if they predicted our prediction?"

Ningxiang pouted. "Then what's your good idea?"

"Being timid and hesitant is not a good idea!"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then sneered, "How about we find a deserted island to rest for ten days or half a month?"

Ningxiang paused for a moment, then nodded. "Great idea!"

"Regardless of whether those people are plotting against you, this is the best way."

Afterwards, Qin Feng and Ning Xiang neither went left nor right, but returned the way they came.

Regardless of whether Wuya and the others were plotting against Qin Feng, they would never have imagined that Qin Feng would return the way he came.

Half a day later.

Qin Feng and Ning Xiang landed on a small island with lush trees.

Qin Feng released his divine sense to survey the island and surrounding waters, confirming there were no potential threats before turning to Ningxiang and asking, "Do you want to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm?"

Ningxiang paused for a moment, then nodded. "Of course I want to! But breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm isn't that easy."

"You can have it if you want!" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, then changed the subject. "However, you'll have to pay a price!"

Ningxiang blinked, asking curiously, "Could you help me break through to the Immortal Emperor realm?"

Seeing Qin Feng nod, she was utterly shocked. "No way? You really have such methods, why don't you use them yourself?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly. "Do you want to?"

Ningxiang stared at Qin Feng for a while, then nodded earnestly. "Of course I want to!"

"But what price do you need me to pay?"

Qin Feng stated directly, "It's simple, sign a master-servant contract with me!"

"But don't worry, I won't treat you like a maid; I'm just preventing you from betraying me!"

"Although I believe you won't, you can't see into someone's heart, so I have to be on guard."

Ningxiang stared at Qin Feng's face for a moment, her eyes flickering, before saying decisively, "I'm willing!"

Just as Qin Feng trusted her, she also trusted Qin Feng very much.

Subsequently, Qin Feng and Ning Xiang immediately signed a master-servant contract, and from then on, even if Ning Xiang broke through to the Immortal Emperor level, her life and death would be under his control.

Qin Feng took out a bottle of Emperor Realm Pills and handed it to Ningxiang. "There are ten top-grade Emperor Realm Pills in here, enough to help you at least reach the late stage of Immortal Emperor!"

Ningxiang stared at Qin Feng in shock. Before this, she had no idea that Qin Feng possessed an Emperor Realm Pill.

Only now did she understand why Wuya and the others were willing to be Qin Feng's bodyguards.

Apart from Qin Feng, no one else in the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm possesses an Emperor Realm Pill, which demonstrates its extreme scarcity.

She took a deep breath and exclaimed in surprise, "So... you're Qin Feng from the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect!"

Qin Feng smiled without saying a word.

Ningxiang took another deep breath, gradually calmed her mind, and then took the Emperor Realm Pill and sat down to meditate and cultivate.

She certainly wouldn't miss such an incredible opportunity.

With ten Emperor Realm Pills, she was absolutely confident that she could break through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor, or even the peak.

Qin Feng glanced at Ningxiang, then sat down cross-legged and released his divine sense to be on guard.

Turning Ningxiang into an Immortal Emperor would be beneficial to him.

With the Immortal Execution Sword and Ningxiang combined, they would have a real chance to wipe out Wuya and the others.

Of course, this is on the premise that Wuya and others plot against him.

An hour later, Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his expression slightly heavy.

He sensed the auras of more than a dozen peak Immortal Emperors rushing toward them.

He recognized two of the auras; they seemed to belong to Duanmu Qing, the fifth island master of Qilin Island.

He was absolutely certain that the other aura was from that bitch Meng Xiyao.

Ningxiang also sensed the presence of Meng Xiyao and the others, and immediately stopped cultivating, completely concealing her own aura.

A moment later, Meng Xiyao and the others flew over Qin Feng and Ning Xiang without pausing.

Soon, Meng Xiyao and the others' auras left the range that Qin Feng and Ningxiang could sense.

Ningxiang took a deep breath, her face pale, and said, "I...I don't know if these people are here for you?"

"If so, then Wuya and the others must have contacted them secretly!"

Qin Feng frowned. "That's certainly possible!"

"That was close!" Ningxiang said with lingering relief. "Luckily we were prepared, otherwise it would have been terrible!"

Qin Feng nodded. "Stop thinking about these things, hurry up and focus on your cultivation!"

Ningxiang hummed in agreement, then calmed herself down and closed her eyes to continue refining the Emperor Realm Pill.

Qin Feng glanced at Ningxiang, then transmitted his voice to the spirit of the Zhuxian Sword, Xiaoxian, asking, "Do you have any way to delay the arrival of the tribulation lightning?"

When Ningxiang breaks through to the Immortal Emperor realm, it will attract a tribulation of lightning. He is worried that the commotion will be too great and will attract Meng Xiyao and others.

Even with the Immortal Execution Sword in hand, Ningxiang, who has just broken through to the Immortal Emperor level, is unlikely to be a match for Meng Xiyao and the others.

Xiao Xian replied, "Yes, but it can't be delayed for too long!"

"At most one month!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed. A month would be enough; by then, Meng Xiyao would be at least a late-stage Immortal Emperor.

With the Zhuxian Sword in hand, even if he couldn't wipe out Meng Xiyao and the others, he could at least kill most of them.

With him added to the mix, those who were lucky enough to survive would definitely be scared away.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ningxiang successfully broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm after refining two Emperor Realm Pills.

Although her cultivation level was raised using elixirs, Ningxiang's aura was extremely profound, far surpassing that of some ordinary early-stage Immortal Emperors.

Before the tribulation lightning even appeared, Xiao Xian manipulated the Zhuxian Sword to create a shielding barrier, covering an area of ​​100 meters around Jiang Fangyuan.

The fragrance was completely isolated by the barrier, with not a trace of it escaping.

Five days later.

Ningxiang successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Ten days later, Ningxiang successfully broke through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor.

There are still two Emperor Realm Pills left!

Ningxiang consumed and refined the two Emperor Realm Pills together, intending to reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm in one fell swoop.
