A blessed place by the sea.
A piece of charred stone is located high up on the mountain in the southeast corner of Cape Fairy City.
From any cave here, you can overlook the vast ocean.

Inside the cave, Shen Lian slowly woke up, his eyes flickering with intelligence.
【Insights: 29746】
【Divine Enlightenment Points: 10】
"well……"
He sighed softly, and the feeling of the spiritual energy in his body being unsmooth became stronger. It seemed that he had to find a place to fight the sea monster.
Apart from some lags in cultivation, his perception points increased by more than 1,600 in the two months after he moved into the Linhai Blessed Land, and even one or two divine perception points popped up every month.
During the two months, Shen Lian mostly upgraded his talisman system. After all, now that he had the Tianyan Earth Domain, he couldn't waste this ability.
The dual-element fire and earth talisman array is being put into place.
In addition to practicing, he would go to Huicui Building to have a meal every few days, mainly to understand the situation of the battle to encircle and suppress Bian Qingyun.
This brother was really stubborn. In just two months, he was caught and revealed. Of course, he ran away quickly.
They robbed treasure ship fleets, robbed cultivators, and robbed foundation-building families. They did it all.
Inside the Huicui Building.
"I heard that the Luo Family's Jindan from Luoshan Island has personally taken action and has already tracked down Bian Qingyun and is desperately pursuing him."
"A girl from the Luo family has joined the Yunshang Sect. I heard that she became an inner disciple right after she entered the sect, and several elders even fought over her to take her as a disciple."
"Even though the Luo family only has one Jindan cultivator, the Xuanhai Sect still has to give them face."
“If the Luo family can capture Bian Qingyun and obtain the third-level Falling Star Secret Pill bestowed by the sect, with some luck, they might be able to give birth to another Golden Core True Person, and thus have two Golden Cores in one family, marking the beginning of the family’s prosperity.”
…
"If we talk about the stubborn Chengtian League, it's one of them. The leader has clearly issued an edict, asking all the sects to stop fighting and focus on encircling and suppressing Bian Qingyun.
The Xuanhai Sect has already withdrawn its battle line, but the Chengtian Alliance is still attacking and has captured dozens of islands in succession."
…
Huanshan Island, the Alliance for the Support of Heaven.
One after another, the suspended palaces are suspended between the mountains in the center of the island, and the entire palace complex stretches for hundreds of miles.
In recent years, as the Chengtian Alliance has repeatedly withstood the siege of the Xuanhai Sect and occupied more and more islands, its reputation has also attracted more cultivators to join.
There are secret sentries lurking everywhere in the palace complex. Under the mountains surrounding the palaces, there is a formation with faint green light, which blocks the outside world from prying eyes.
Under the formation, a middle-aged monk with a dignified face and a jade crown on his head sat cross-legged, surrounded by spiritual medicines of various levels.
The medicinal power flashed with various spiritual lights and was absorbed into the body little by little by the middle-aged monk.
"Grand Elder, there are disciples from the Yunshang Sect coming to the island."
The middle-aged monk opened and closed his eyes, and a strange light of ochre and black spots appeared in the depths of his pupils, and the whole person became a little strange.
"Got it. This elder will leave right away."
A strange energy rolled out, sweeping away all the power of the herbs around him. The middle-aged monk then regained his composure, and the strange light in his eyes was suppressed.
Behind the palace complex.
A gorgeous spirit boat was suspended in the air, with a young foundation-building monk in a white robe standing on top.
"My sect has issued an order to prohibit infighting among the sects and to surround and suppress Bian Qingyun with all our strength. Do you, the Chengtian Alliance, want to disobey the order?"
Seeing a Jindan Zhenren leading a group of figures flying out from the palace complex, the white-robed cultivator did not evade. Although he was only in the foundation-building stage, he was a foundation-building master of the Yuanying sect.
Chengtian Zhenren, formerly the supreme elder of the Huanshan Island Alliance, has also called himself Chengtian Zhenren since the alliance changed its name.
"A decree?"
At this moment, a strange voice came out of Cheng Tianzhen's mouth.
"A piece of trash from the Nascent Soul Sect dares to announce the decree?"
"What? When these words came out, not only the foundation-building disciples of Yunshang Sect who came to ask for accountability were shocked.
The other cultivators from the Chengtian Alliance who came out together were also confused.
My God, what do we hear? If only time could...
“Buzz!”
I saw that the pupils of Chengtian Zhenren's eyes were spinning, and his face looked like it was covered with psoriasis, which fell off in pieces like old tree bark.
The bark covered the surroundings like crumbs, enveloping everyone.
"A mere Nascent Soul is worthy of me to bow down to you."
"I have come out of seclusion, the entire alliance will attack!"
…
One month later.
The Inner Sea of Ten Thousand Stars was shaken. Zhenren Chengtian of the Chengtian Alliance suppressed the disciples of the Yunshang Sect and personally led many cultivators to attack the mountain gate of the Xuanhai Sect.
Within one day, several Jindan Zhenren from Xuanhai Sect came out together, and relying on the sect protection formation, they defeated the cultivators of Chengtian League. Zhenren Chengtian and Zhenren Fuhai fought a fierce battle in the ocean outside the island.
In the end, Master Fu Hai was seriously injured, and Master Cheng Tian escaped alone.
Xuanhai Sect's leader Zhenhai Zhenren led his monks to recapture all the islands occupied by Chengtian Alliance within one month.
After this battle, the monks from large and small families who had surrendered to the Chengtian Alliance were dumbfounded.
I just feel like I've been cheated and am vomiting blood.
How can a human being be like this?
Such a good situation collapsed in one day.
Who can tell us what happened? However, not long after, something even more shocking happened.
As all the major and minor sects fought for the third-level Falling Star Secret Pill, they all sent out most of their forces to hunt down Bian Qingyun.
The Jiuxuantan Hai family, the most powerful Jindan family in Wanxinghai, a fake Dan elder took advantage of the absence of the family ancestor to severely injure another Jindan Zhenren in the family.
He broke the family's mountain protection formation, snatched away the third-level earth spirit that the family had nurtured for nearly a thousand years, and disappeared into the endless ocean.
Suddenly, all the cultivators were shocked. It turned out to be the old devil Heiya! It was said that the ancestor of the Hai family was so angry that he vomited blood and swore to the sky that he would fight Heiya to the death.
The series of hot headlines in Wanxinghai overwhelmed many cultivators. It has not been so lively in hundreds of years.
…
Thousands of miles northwest of Cape Fairy City, a head popped up amid the rolling waves on the water and looked around.
It was Shen Lian who came out of the Cape Fairy City. The affairs of the Wanxing Inner Sea had nothing to do with him, so he just continued to do what he was supposed to do.
There were no other cultivators in the ten-mile radius of the sea, so he flipped out of the water and summoned the spirit boat.
The spirit boat created a wave on the sea and headed off into the distance.
There are two purposes for this trip. One is to find some monsters to fight and the other to make the spiritual power increased by refining elixirs over the years more smooth.
Another purpose is to find earth-attributed demon pills to prepare for Dahei's advancement to foundation building.
These two goals are not in conflict.
On the spirit boat, Shen Lian took out a jade slip, which was a sea map of monsters that he bought from the ghost market. It recorded the locations where monsters had appeared in the sea near Cape Fairy City.
These targets need to be checked one by one.
The first target is the Sandstone Islands 20,000 miles away, where there is a group of immortal world version of the Three Sisters Sand Demon Lizards, but I don’t know if there are any second-level ones.
A few days later, Shen Lian appeared outside the Sandstone Islands.
There are hundreds of islands of various sizes in this archipelago, and the main island is more than two thousand miles in radius.
A third-level demon lizard was once born, but now, the fake Dan Zhenren who refined the demon pill probably doesn't even have a grave.
A day later, Shen Lian returned to the water from the island.
Indeed, one cannot trust the monks to show mercy.
There are indeed rock sand demon lizards on the island, but the strongest one is only at the sixth or seventh level of Qi training, and they are hiding in caves deep inside the island.
The demon lizard was not a brainless creature. Even when the human swords and knives were swinging and sparks were flying, it knew to dig a hole and hide.
The first destination, give up.
The spirit boat broke through the waves and set sail towards the north.
Cape Fairy City is the dividing line between the inner sea and the outer sea of Wanxing. At this moment, Shen Lian has already entered the outer sea of Wanxing.
He didn't dare to risk crossing the uninhabited sea area in the outer sea, but it was possible for him to circle the edge of the outer sea and look for a few habitats of monsters.
Having seen the situation in the inland sea, even creatures like Third Sister-in-law have become such a nuisance, one can imagine the cultivators' thirst for monster resources.
Since there are not enough resources in the inner sea, the cultivators naturally turned their attention to the outer sea. However, the cultivators who dared to enter the outer sea to make a living were either very powerful or not afraid of death.
Shen Lian dared to come out of the Cape Fairy City, so he must have made every effort to ensure it.
Among the cultivators who make a living in the outer sea of Ten Thousand Stars, the strongest is only at the foundation-building stage, and he is not afraid at all.
Of course, it would be best if you didn't bother him.
Next place, Crescent Island.
The spiritual boat broke through the waves on the endless ocean. After entering the outer sea of Ten Thousand Stars, Shen Lian clearly felt that the waves had become much bigger and the salty and humid smell was more intense.
After traveling thousands of miles, it was difficult to see an island.
The records on the Siren Map in his hand were a summary of various information from monks of all sizes traveling in the sea area. Its accuracy was not very high, but it was better than blindly searching on his own.
A month later, Shen Lian circled back and forth in the vast ocean several times.
I took out the map and took a look at it.
That’s right, according to the sailing direction and number of days, Crescent Island is in this sea area.
What about the island?
This work was not done carefully at all. Back then in the Wilderness, when the Green Water Sect surveyed a place, it mobilized many people to cross-check.
Shen Lian was not annoyed after failing to find the target twice in a row. The vast ocean is not land, and it is not easy to locate.
He took out the jade slip again and looked at the remaining three selected targets.
The Wanxing Sea is vast, with islands scattered all over the place. The islands are naturally the places for humans to practice, but the sea is the world of the sea clan.
The sea people are not just close to the power of water. Like humans, they also possess the five elements. There is no need to be surprised if you encounter sea people who use thunder and wind magic.
Between the human land and the sea deep sea, there is a tidal island that appears on the sea surface with the rise and fall of the tide.
Moreover, the appearance of some tidal islands depends on various unusual phenomena such as the full moon and undersea earthquakes.
If you encounter an island that suddenly disappears, there is no need to panic. It is not a mystery, but the island may have sunk.
According to rumors, some monks who were about to pass away liked to look for tidal islands like this as a place to sit and die, leaving behind their own spiritual heritage.
“Seventeen years ago, a few casual cultivators happened to step onto a tidal island and discovered a small spiritual vein with hundreds of Hailan spiritual grass growing in a cave deep in the island.
While collecting spiritual herbs, several people were attacked by a group of snail sea worms. They suffered heavy damage and had to withdraw from the spiritual vein.
After coming out, they agreed to keep the secret and collect elixirs after they became stronger.
But more than a decade later, no one has ever found the island again in the original waters, and even diving to the bottom of the sea has yielded nothing."
Among the five targets selected by Shen Lian, this Hailan Tidal Island is among them, and a record of its discovery is attached.
The location where this tidal island was discovered is only ten thousand miles away from Cape Fairy City.
When it was discovered, the island was not very big. It was just a reef of several dozen feet in size that was exposed above the water.
Among the Hailan spiritual herbs collected by the group of discoverers back then, more than a dozen were of the second level, which were the main ingredients for refining the Water Vein Pill for cultivators with water spiritual roots.
This means that the spiritual vein deep within Tidal Island should be of the second level, and the monsters within are also most likely of the second level.
After much thought, Shen Lian decided to go and take a look.
When it was his turn to hunt the monsters that were in the open, he couldn't even get a sip of soup and could only look for those hiding in the water.
…
A month later, after confirming from various sources, Shen Lian determined that he had arrived at the sea area where the Hailan Tidal Island appeared.
His entire body dissolved into the water. Unless the cultivator was a false elixir cultivator whose spiritual power surpassed his, the cultivator would only see an ordinary fish swimming in the sea water.
Of course, this does not mean that he turned into a swimming fish. The escape technique also includes some magical illusions.
Occasionally, cultivators would pass by this sea area. When Shen Lian looked up from the water, he saw a shameless male cultivator wearing the red underwear of a female cultivator.
The water in the entire area is not deep, and the deepest does not exceed five hundred feet.
Shen Lian was in no hurry to search. He didn't know how many people had come to look for Hailan Tidal Island a long time ago, and he didn't even know how many people had searched under the water.
The normal method specifies that it cannot be found.
The Five Elements Spirit Puppet crawled out of the body and quietly sensed the flow of the water.
Based on the reasons for the appearance of the tidal island, Shen Lian plans to start from vibration, airflow, spiritual fluctuations and other aspects.
Since his Five Elements Spirit Puppet absorbed the spirituality from the white shells, its own spirituality has greatly increased, and its spiritual sensitivity to the outside world is very strong.
Otherwise he wouldn't have come looking for Tidal Island.
In Shen Lian's opinion, the emergence of Tidal Island might be in line with the spirituality of heaven and earth. Everything is a spiritual matter, so he, a created being, should not interfere in it.
Under the sea surface, there is a thick layer of gravel, with small fish and shrimps swimming and playing, and crabs running rampant.
Everything looks so quiet.
After sweeping an area with his spiritual sense, Shen Lian found a hard rock area under the thick gravel, and directly opened up a small cave underneath.
A small water-repellent bead was embedded in the cave, just enough to cover the ten-foot-sized cave.
He planned to stay here for one to two months. If he really couldn't find any fluctuations, he would leave and go to the next place.
There are so many marked locations anyway, so why bother hanging yourself on an island?
…
“Gurgle gurgle…”
A month and a half later, Shen Lian, who was accumulating insights in the underwater cave, suddenly opened his eyes.
He knew that the spiritual objects of the Five Elements Spirit Puppet were not eaten in vain.
Under a thick layer of gravel, tiny bubbles emerged. These bubbles were as fine as gravel, and a faint blue light flashed by.
"go."
The Five Elements Spirit Puppets surrounded the area where the bubbles appeared and took out a jade talisman from the storage bracelet.
With a flash of inspiration, an illusory figure appeared in the water. It flapped its arms and legs a few times, then moved its body little by little.
After doing the stretching exercises, I crawled down to the place where the bubbles were coming out.
