Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 359 - 306: Celestial Essence Immortal Sect, East Sea Immortal Artifact

Ever since the Earth Evil Silver Lotus emerged from the Sea of Consciousness, the panel for the Earth Demon Seventy-Two Techniques has been fading by the day, seemingly about to disappear.

Similarly, the panel for the Thirty-Six Celestial Gang Skills was undergoing some sort of transformation. Although it still required an Immortal Body, it was also gradually fading.

Zhang Kui vaguely sensed that it seemed to be related to the chaotic Great Path here, and the Earth Evil Silver Lotus was the key to this transformation.

Perhaps, it could be worth a try...

Thinking of this, he accelerated instantly and quickly returned to the Dragonbone Divine Ship.

"Sect Leader, what's over there?"

Seeing Zhang Kui suddenly appear, Yuan Huang quickly asked with cupped hands.

"An opportunity…"

Zhang Kui didn't hide it, detailing the situation there and his suppositions.

"What?!"

Yuan Huang was shocked, and the other captains from the starships rushed over, causing an uproar when they heard the news.

"This is big trouble!"

"According to the Sect Leader, there are at least hundreds of Monarchs of the Strange over there. The starships can only handle one at most; such a disparity in strength, this is…"

"Don't forget, there's still one Immortal Realm being. It's unimaginable…"

"We must act with utmost caution!"

"Everyone, rest assured…"

Zhang Kui said in a deep voice: "Unless there's a sure chance of victory, I won't act rashly. From today onwards, withdraw a hundred miles and guard this place closely."

The demons of the Celestial Pavilion looked at each other but still bowed in unison:

"We respectfully follow the Sect Leader's decree!"

...

East Sea, with towering azure waves.

Zhang Kui rode the auspicious clouds, flying over thousands of meters in the sky, with his eyes radiating divine light, observing the entire sea surface.

Since the Great Ocean Race opened the sea route, strange events at sea immediately decreased, and ships gradually began to navigate back and forth.

According to Tai Shi's report, just a few days ago, after he entered the Underworld, a merchant ship from Huo Continent had already passed through the Divine Land Barrier and entered Quanzhou.

Though on the same Celestial Essence Star, the four continents have different resources, and many items quickly caused a sensation.

For instance, the Black Crystal Panel, which can record information with Divine Sense, is very convenient. It is almost unseen in the Eastern Continent, and the Yunmeng Water Mansion Water God treasures even one. But in Huo Continent, although precious, it is also produced in the spiritual ore.

Similarly, many specialties from the Divine Continent made Huo Continent merchant teams ecstatic with joy.

The first to venture into such endeavors always makes a big profit, and the Divine Dynasty's commerce can also accumulate merit. Immediately, many wealthy merchants organized large fleets, some wanting to go to Huo Continent, while others had even greater ambitions, wanting to detour to the Peacock Buddha Country, or even the Barbarian Continent…

Zhang Kui had no objections to this, and the Divine Dynasty Council also took advantage of the opportunity to set plans, sending people to guard and gather intelligence from various continents simultaneously.

But his purpose in coming to the East Sea was for something else.

The Profound Yin Mountain's Underworld strange lair must be eradicated. Not to mention the evil tumor brewing an immortal-level peculiarity, even the strangeness entrenched there, sucking and destroying the Immortal Sect, made Zhang Kui uneasy, always feeling it would lead to a disaster.

The shadow in the cycle of reincarnation had no clues yet; if the strange lair erupted simultaneously, the Celestial Essence Star might be completely finished.

Of course, dealing with such a massive strange lair must be done early, and with a powerful weapon.

The first thought that came to Zhang Kui's mind was the core of the starship on Profound Yin Mountain, a damaged Tai Chi Ball that had attracted thunder for tens of thousands of years, turning into a super terrifying bomb, at least ten times stronger than his Yin Yang True Fire Sun Exposure Technique.

Of course, to trigger it requires certain means, otherwise, it wouldn't have Fatty Tiger guarding it like a fool.

The other thing was the underwater grotto he discovered, with emissive purple sword light.

There, filled with Five Elements Evil Qi, was a Purple Evil Light at the depths, which he learned in battle from the Immortal Fiend Chang Kong, was called "Purple Extreme Light," belonging to an immortal named True Monarch of the Purple Mansion.

And in the map left to him by the Cyan Flood Dragon of the Underground River Water Mansion, a sword hilt was clearly marked there.

All evidence suggested it was a truly fallen Immortal Artifact!

Perhaps he was the only one on the Celestial Essence Star with the ability to absorb terrifying evil light and enter the seabed.

The Cyan Flood Dragon surely couldn't do this, so the map was definitely not drawn by it, indicating there were secrets behind it.

Of course, these are all matters for later discussion.

Now that the oceanic route is open, those mysterious places will become increasingly lively, and Zhang Kui rushed over to prevent the Immortal Artifact from falling into others' hands.

The underwater grotto was not far from the ruins of the East Sea Water Mansion. In no time, Zhang Kui arrived, crashing into the sea and diving rapidly.

The place was still the same, with many giant sea demons cultivating their bloodlines at the cave entrance, refining them using the Five Elements Evil Light.

Zhang Kui keenly noticed that the number of sea demons had increased considerably since last time, and some even engaged in bloody battles for territory.

In the vast ocean, the power of the Demon Race was exceptionally prosperous, apart from the most domineering Great Ocean Race, there were various large and small forces and scattered demons, even Snake Island's Island Lord Chi Lin, who escaped from the ocean, could become the Spirit Sect Leader, illustrating the chaos deep within the ocean.

Ignoring these miscellaneous demons, Zhang Kui concealed his form and continued to dive along the grotto.

Likewise was the compressing evil light, but now, even without using the Life Light Technique, he could withstand the water pressure with his robust body.

There were many Demonic Beings of the Divine Travel Realm under the sea as well, but when Zhang Kui dived to the grotto's bottom, it was deadly silent, bereft of any life.

In the darkness, there was only a massive crack, inside which thick purple evil light flowed.

Zhang Kui's eyes narrowed slightly as he approached the crack, extending his hands as the "Purple Extreme Light" surged violently, constantly being absorbed into his body.

When he came last time, he had only completed a large part of the Earth Demon Seventy-Two Techniques, but now they were perfected, and he even had a Half-Immortal Body, swallowing like a whale devouring a river, without any sense of crudeness.

The "Purple Extreme Light" fell continuously at a visible speed, and with a flash of purple in Zhang Kui's eyes, he leaped down.

All clues indicated that the power of Immortal Paths in this world was not like those in ancient mythologies but instead relied on various laws and Cave Heaven Powers.

The enemies of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, suspected to be from an ancient great war, controlled mysterious dreams through an Ancient Bronze Mirror, clearly not a good lineage.

Since confrontation is inevitable in the future, perhaps one could find the power characteristics of those immortals from this fallen Immortal Artifact.

As the thick "Purple Extreme Light" continued to be absorbed, the Lu Li Sword Light within Zhang Kui became more concentrated, previously refined to solidify the virtual, now astonishingly beginning to form a solid entity once more, like a purple crystal sword.

Soon, the "Purple Extreme Evil Light" filled all the meridians, and Zhang Kui, staring at the boundless purple before him, gritted his teeth and began compressing the evil light…

At the same time, outside the cave on the seabed, the giant sea demons, originally entrenched in battle, suddenly stopped one by one, looking in unison toward the distance, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes, as they shook the seabed mud and fled helter-skelter.

In no time, waves suddenly surged and roared; a massive shadow approached slowly. It was an enormous turtle stretching thousands of meters.

Its turtle shell was like towering mountains, its terrifying mouth with sinister fangs, and on its turtle back stood an ancient and mottled Bluestone Divine Hall…
