Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 738 - 717: Ulterior Motive

Though the Daoist Commerce Association's organizational structure was relatively loose, in terms of cohesion, it was far inferior to Cyan Profound Mountain and the Nine-star Daoist Palace, and naturally even more so when compared to the Celestial Spirit Sect and the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

Even so, the Daoist Commerce Association was still ranked within the top three of the ten superpowers, exerting pressure on the Nine-star Daoist Palace, also in the top three, which showed its strength.

In the Immortal Technique World, power ruled.

But immense wealth could also lead to divine prowess!

"However, Wang Xuezhi from the Nine-star Daoist Palace, True Venerable Mo Fan from the Celestial Spirit Sect, and a powerhouse from the True Demon Sect have also arrived... It seems that during my stay, these three forces have roughly pinpointed my location through their means and pursued me." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Bai Ziyue deliberated, and *a sense of urgency arose in his heart.*

Although his current strength was already considerable, facing Wang Xuezhi from the Nine-star Daoist Palace would likely be quite challenging, especially with the addition of True Venerable Mo Fan. Bai Ziyue had never met Mo Fan, but he knew that the opponent was an existence not at all weaker than Confucian God Wang Xuezhi.

Moreover, coming from the Celestial Spirit Sect, with the sect's deep foundation, who knew what trump cards might be hidden...

As for the True Demon Sect, even if he didn't know who had come, it certainly wouldn't be a weakling.

"I must quickly venture out to sea to hunt Sea Demons.

Only then can my Soul Energy quantities rapidly increase.

Only then can I swiftly enhance my realm, elevating to the Peak of Golden Core Realm and rapidly improving Daoist skill Nine Extremes Divine Sword and Daoist skill Great Dharma Aspect.

Thus, I will have sufficient strength to cope with the imminent challenge and resolve this crisis."

Bai Ziyue resolved in his heart and did not hesitate, nor did he need to tidy anything, instead heading directly out of the city.

Perhaps due to its isolated overseas location, entrance and exit from Giant Whale Immortal City required passing through the city gate. The No-fly Array in the void was incredibly strong, even Golden Core Realm Cultivators were suppressed, only able to fly at a low speed.

Bai Ziyue naturally, not wishing to draw attention, entered and exited the city through the gates like most cultivators.

At the city gate location, City Guards were stationed, almost constantly, with Divine Realm Level City Defense Generals on duty to prevent unrest.

Moreover, atop the city gate lied a Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Under the illumination of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, any Demon approaching would prompt warning Profound Light.

Approaching the city gate, Bai Ziyue had yet to enter the lengthy passage when suddenly he felt a wave of Divine Sense sweeping across.

It was three Divine Realm Cultivators simultaneously, probing with their Divine Sense regularly.

Nearly every ten seconds, a wave of Divine Sense swept over, the frequency was extremely high.

"So heavily guarded?"

*Bai Ziyue was startled, instinctively using Gravity Shadow Domain to conceal his aura, disguising himself as an ordinary Enlightenment Realm Cultivator.*

With his methods, naturally, he easily avoided detection.

One wave, two waves, three waves...

After three waves of Divine Sense.

Sixty seconds later, a more powerful wave than the previous three swept over again.

Was this the Divine Sense of a Golden Core Realm True Monarch?

Bai Ziyue furrowed his brows slightly.

If it was just to guard against Sea Demons, such tight vigilance wouldn't be necessary.

With the Demon-Revealing Mirror and the Divine Sense probes by Divine Realm Cultivators, it was more than enough to eliminate most disguises by Sea Demons below Golden Core, even at the Golden Core Level.

Could it be that Sea Demons of Primordial Spirit Realm Level had infiltrated?

Inside Giant Whale Immortal City, unless for those transcendently powerful beings, how would ordinary Primordial Spirit Realm Sea Demons dare to risk easily?

"Could it be there's another purpose?"

*Suddenly recalling something, Bai Ziyue's eyes showed a hint of cold light.*

Fortunately, his Gravity Shadow Domain had already reached the Perfection Realm, unless a Primordial Spirit Realm Powerhouse personally investigated, it would be incredibly difficult to discern his true form.

Thus everything proceeded smoothly, and he walked directly out of the Immortal City.

Then he gathered his figure, hidden, and completely vanished from sight.

...

A day later, Bai Ziyue was amidst a vast sea region.

The skies were clear for thousands of miles around, with barely any islands, a pure expanse of blue.

"According to the Sea Map records, this area was supposed to be the outskirts of the region inhabited by the Giant Whale Race, belonging to their affiliated Sea Demon race, the Sea Serpent Race."

Bai Ziyue silently compared the Sea Map and soon made his judgment.

"This Sea Serpent Race, among the many Sea Demon races, is considered a major clan. Although there is no Sea Serpent King of Primordial Spirit Realm Level, there are seven or eight Sea Demons at Golden Core Level, and additionally, their population is extremely significant.

Let's start by testing them."

Bai Ziyue, although confident in sea battle, had to consider more factors.

After all, battling in such regions was naturally disadvantageous for Human Race Cultivators.

On the contrary, those Sea Demons could perfectly exert their strength.

Thinking of this, he did not enter the sea immediately but rather flipped his hand to take out a blue bead, the Sea-Gazing Bead.

Just upon taking out the Sea-Gazing Bead, faint red light emerged, indicating there was a gathering of Sea Demons in the area ahead, among which there might be Sea Demons comparable to Divine Realm levels.

Controlling the Sea-Gazing Bead to hover nearby, Bai Ziyue immersed himself into the sea.

Boom!

Water splashed up, and Bai Ziyue activated the Gravity Shadow Domain, forcing the seawater to part naturally.

"Still relatively easy.

Yet the deeper he went, the greater the pressure in the seawater."

*Bai Ziyue thought, but didn't mind.*

With his strength, even traveling miles deep in the seabed, he could maintain a certain combat capability.

Then his Divine Sense spread out, following the direction sensed by the Sea-Gazing Bead, he quickly noticed a group of Sea Serpent Demons patrolling underwater, occasionally devouring swimming fish as they passed.

This group of Sea Serpent Demons consisted of more than ten, with one reaching the early-stage Divine Realm Level, while the rest were equivalent to middle and late Enlightenment Realm Levels, each measuring three to four meters long, coiled together and appearing extremely fierce.

Bai Ziyue swiftly approached, with a thought, a Flying Sword shot forth.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The Flying Sword moved through water like a golden light, emanating a chilling Sword Qi cold gleam.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The Sea Serpent Demons, whether the one at the early-stage Divine Realm Level or others equivalent to middle and late Enlightenment Realm Levels, even separated by tens of meters, all perished instantaneously.

The Flying Sword hadn't even truly approached them.

Merely the Sword Qi emitted caused their life signs to vanish completely.

This strike was a Daoist skill he had practiced for over ten days, the Nine Extremes Divine Sword, almost at Entry Level.

Even though the Nine Extremes Divine Sword hadn't officially reached Entry Level, with his strength utilizing it, dealing with these Sea Demons only at the Divine Realm Level naturally was a breeze.
