A corner of Xingchahai.
"We've arrived, this is the place."
The three entered the island through the formation.
"The environment has changed a lot."
Lu Xueqi observed.
"I prepared an escape route many years ago. During this time, I have been improving this place and setting up many formations to prevent cultivators from discovering it."
Li Daoxuan explained.
Leading the two into the cave, a massive array was revealed before them.
"Father, this is a seventh-tier teleportation array, isn't it?"
As a fifth-order array master, Li Qingyu recognized him at a glance.
"Yes, your mother and I came here through this teleportation array back then. The other end of the teleportation array is a resource-poor place, far less prosperous than the Star Chariot Sea."
This time we're not using this teleportation array, but rather a seventh-order array that I rearranged inside.
They continued deeper into the area.
The teleportation array inside was larger than the one outside, and Li Qingyu observed it for a while and noticed the problem.
"Father, this is a one-way, one-time teleportation array, and the teleportation location is random. We won't use this to leave, will we?"
Li Daoxuan nodded approvingly: "You guessed right. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to leave without leaving a trace. If we leave through this formation, even if the people from Xingchahai want to chase us, they won't have a way to catch us."
But don't worry, although the destination is random, it will only teleport us to an area with more abundant spiritual energy.
The three stood in the center of the formation. Li Daoxuan waved his hand and injected millions of spirit stones into it. With the energy replenished, the formation patterns flashed with golden light.
"call out!"
The flowing light shattered the void and vanished into space.
......
In a certain place, space rippled slightly.
"Buzz!"
Three figures emerged from within.
The three are now much stronger than before, so the aftereffects of teleportation are nothing to worry about.
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
Li Qingyu was amazed; the concentration of spiritual energy outside was comparable to the effect of the spirit-gathering array in her home.
"Looks like we've come to a nice place. Let's go and explore the area."
Li Daoxuan concealed his cultivation level and transformed the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella into a paper fan, holding it in his hand.
He had upgraded this magic weapon several times, but now that his cultivation had made a major breakthrough, he needed to find time to reforge it.
"Father, is it really necessary to be so cautious..."
Li Qingyu was puzzled.
"You haven't experienced the cruelty of the cultivation world yet. It's always good to be cautious. Don't think that you're invincible just because you've reached the Nascent Soul stage. There's never a shortage of strong people in this world, and there are many cultivators with higher levels than you."
Li Daoxuan gave verbal instruction.
This is probably the downside of growing up under the protection of one's parents. With a high status in the Star Chariot Sea, no one dares to offend their daughter when she goes out to travel, which has led to this rather careless attitude.
"Listen to your father."
Lu Xueqi naturally stood on her husband's side, and she had followed Li Daoxuan all the way here, encountering many cruel and dark things, especially the time when they were chased by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Okay, I've got it."
Li Qingyu nodded. If you lack experience, just learn from your parents' experience and follow their lead.
He obediently concealed his cultivation level, then took out his magic weapon, the Azure Cloud Sword, and used a special technique to make it look ordinary, as if it were a common spirit sword.
Lu Xueqi's magical artifact is much simpler; it's a defensive bracelet that can be controlled and used for defense.
She always wore it on her wrist as an accessory.
Li Daoxuan was very satisfied with this and took out a Wind-Riding Boat.
"Let's sit here and keep a low profile until we have a clear understanding of the strength of this place."
"..."
Li Qingyu was speechless. This seemed to be a flying device used only by those in the Foundation Establishment stage. Wouldn't it fly too slowly?
Seeing her like this, Li Daoxuan knew exactly what this girl was thinking.
"Watch carefully, learn well, hop on the bus and I'll take you for a ride."
Li Daoxuan sat down, and Lu Xueqi followed closely behind and sat down on the side.
Leaving an empty seat in the last row, the result is self-evident.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come up."
Lu Xueqi urged.
Li Qingyu remained silent for a moment, then obediently sat down in the back seat.
Li Daoxuan and Lu Xueqi chatted and laughed together all the way, and the scenery along the way was indeed beautiful.
Having been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Li Qingyu shielded her senses and began meditating to cultivate.
The main idea is to find peace of mind by not seeing it.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, they didn't encounter a single monk.
Is it flying too slowly?
After thinking for a moment, he affixed several Gale Talismans to the hull of the boat, instantly increasing the flight speed by more than ten levels.
Another two weeks have passed.
They finally saw traces of the cultivators' presence, but things weren't going well.
"A major battle recently took place here; judging from the destructive power, the perpetrators were at least at the Nascent Soul level..."
This is bad; we've encountered high-level combat power right from the start.
Following the trail, the three of them went after it.
As Li Daoxuan passed through a desolate area, he sensed that someone was lying in ambush nearby.
There are dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators and one Golden Core cultivator.
He finally saw people, but the aura of these guys didn't give him a good feeling.
With a flick of his finger, the formation instantly took shape and covered the area.
"Let's go down and ask."
The people lying in ambush below looked on in horror as the massive formation instantly materialized.
The Golden Core cultivator immediately abandoned everyone and fled into the distance, but his attacks hit the formation like a light drizzle.
Li Daoxuan waved his hand and grabbed him back.
"Gulp~ Senior... please let me go."
The Golden Core cultivator immediately begged for mercy, realizing he had encountered a powerful figure who liked to act all high and mighty.
"I'll ask, you answer, understand?"
Li Daoxuan looked at him.
"I understand! Senior, please ask!"
Jin Dan's eyes lit up; it seemed there was a chance to survive.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him dared not breathe loudly; whether they could survive now depended on the temperament of this senior.
"What kind of place is this? What forces are nearby? What are you doing lying in ambush here?"
"This is the Eastern Divine Continent, where various forces intersect, with the Heaven and Earth Sect being the most representative."
Jin Dan replied.
"And then what are you doing here?"
"We are hunting monsters here."
"Hunting demonic beasts? What sect are you from?"
"Yu Ling Sect".
Li Daoxuan looked at him with a half-smile: "You're not being honest. Why does this token say Seven Demon Sect?"
Upon seeing the token in Li Daoxuan's hand, the Golden Core cultivator's pupils contracted. He hurriedly reached for his storage bag at his waist, only to find it had somehow ended up in the other's hands.
"You are all from the Demonic Sect, right? There was a great battle ahead. Which sect were you fighting against?"
Li Daoxuan pressed for an answer.
The Golden Core cultivator hardened his heart; he knew that Li Daoxuan would not let him go at this point.
So they launched a surprise attack while he was off guard.
A flash of demonic light struck Li Daoxuan's brow.
"You're really dishonest."
He used a paper fan to shield his face and deflect the attack, while the pressure he exuded made his feet feel like lead, keeping him rooted to the spot.
A flick of the finger and it's a headshot.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators' pupils constricted, and they scattered in all directions.
"Xiaoyu, I'll leave all of this to you."
It wasn't that he had a prejudice against the Demonic Sect, but that these guys were preparing to attack and kill them while they were flying in the air.
If they were ordinary cultivators, they would have perished here, so there's no point in showing them any mercy.
Li Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then drew his sword and stood up.
The soaring sword light instantly turned the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had already scattered and fled into a bloody mist.
Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, his daughter wasn't some kind of saintly hypocrite. It would be utterly unreasonable for her to show mercy to someone who had tried to kill her.
