From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 257 - 252: Star Sect

Between the Heavenly Vault and the Vast Ocean, a thousand-foot giant stood towering, wielding a War Spear, resembling an ancient Water God descended to the mortal world, with azure streams surging across its body.

Even though most of its body was submerged in the sea, revealing only its upper half, it still soared into the clouds, brimming with authority.

Li Quanqing was hiding deep within the Canghai Giant, his wrist adorned with the Qiankun Bracelet, which flashed a light and instantly produced a Mystic Iron Token.

The token felt cool to the touch, carved with ever-flowing rivers, exuding an ancient aura, with the words "Heavenly River" engraved upon it.

Li Quanqing caressed the Heavenly River Token; at this moment, the token emitted a faint buzzing, releasing a unique vibration, as if resonating.

Between his brows, the water-blue "Chuan" symbol appeared once more, as if stimulated.

In fact, this symbol represented the ever-flowing rivers, a mark from the Ancient Times signifying a disciple of the Heavenly River Dao.

"Could there be.... a relic of the Heavenly River Dao hidden here?!"

Li Quanqing’s grasp on the token began to tremble slightly, his emotions stirred with indescribable excitement.

If it indeed was a Divinity Transformation Sect, even though it had long been forgotten by time, its value was incalculable!

Suddenly, the token in Li Quanqing’s hand ceased resonating, and the Heavenly River pattern that had appeared on his forehead slowly faded away.

But suddenly, he shivered all over!

A powerful spiritual sense allowed him to perceive a vast and mighty consciousness stirring, secretly scrutinizing him, seemingly omnipresent!

It was as if the entire ocean had become its eyes, each drop of seawater embodying its will.

Even the water surging from the body of the Canghai Giant was being deprived by the other side, examining him as the intruder.

Who is spying on him?!

Li Quanqing felt a chill run down his spine, veins bulging on the hand clutching the Heavenly River Token, his face was grave like water.

Even the golden core power roaring in his dantian could not offer him security, as if he had turned into a powerless mortal.

Could it be... living creatures still existed within this relic?

It’s impossible for a Divinity Transformation Cultivator to have survived thousands of years and still be alive!

While Li Quanqing was lost in thought, the voice of Li Kunlun suddenly rang in his ear, persistently calling him.

"Quanqing, we have to leave; these Great Demons are indeed unruly!"

"Hmm?"

Li Quanqing became alert, raising his head abruptly, noticing powerful auras approaching from afar, demon energy surging.

This was the Demon Clan territory in the wilderness’s outer sea, without doubt, a group of Golden Core Demons was coming, intending to keep them.

The Demon Kings, possessing considerable intelligence, surely had means of communication, and it was the Golden Crowned Thunder Pengs that brought them here.

"Let’s go!"

Li Quanqing spoke sternly, without any hesitation.

No matter what existed within the Heavenly River Dao relic, it wasn’t something he could explore now; he could only plan for the future.

Neither of them lingered, diving into the sea water in an instant, preparing to use the space tunnel to return. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Roar! Leave these despicable humans behind, I will devour their flesh!"

The Earth Flame Flood Dragon roared viciously, instantly displaying ferocious bloodthirst, opening its massive maw with sharp fangs, spewing endless flames.

The Golden Crowned Thunder Peng simultaneously unleashed lightning, an ocean of crackling electrical arcs surged, blocking their retreat.

Li Quanqing and company refused to engage in battle, retreating while fighting, heading straight towards the deep sea abyss to return to the Purple Blood Sea Domain.

Finally, they saw the faint silver space tunnel, surging along with ocean currents, boundless as if never-ending.

Li Quanqing let out a light "eh," tightened his grip on the Heavenly River Token, watching as it spun with radiance and transmitted a message.

He could actually use this token to control the opening and closing of the underwater space tunnel!

"Indeed, this underwater dark path was constructed by the Heavenly River Dao practitioners in Ancient Times, used to connect the entire East Sea, similar to a transmission array!"

Li Quanqing’s heart was assured; with the Heavenly River Token in hand, he need not fear the Demon Clan infiltrating the Purple Blood Sea Domain through the tunnel, causing havoc.

"Let’s go!!"

He commanded, first sending Li Kunlun into the tunnel, then relying on the Canghai Giant to cover their retreat.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the thousand-foot giant collapsed, infinite torrents roaring and transforming into wild waves, exploding, accompanied by divine rune bursts, unleashing turbulent power.

The two Jiedan Demons were directly flung away, unable to approach the underwater dark path before them, no longer able to stop their departure.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Quanqing plunged into the space tunnel, his Heavenly River Token glowing, surrounded by the pale silver runes dancing around him.

Buzz!

Li Quanqing’s mind shifted slightly, maneuvering the silver circular space tunnel to slowly diminish until it vanished completely.

Before the space was completely sealed, the discontented roars of the Demon Kings could faintly be heard, the sea water endlessly vibrating.

"This is..."

Li Kunlun looked at the Heavenly River Token, his eyes showing a different color, finally confirming that this space tunnel was artificially created.

"The chance I obtained earlier was insignificant."

Li Quanqing chuckled, not elaborating further, cautiously putting away the Heavenly River Token.

They harnessed the surrounding Void Power, swiftly traversing, preparing to return to the family.

Though the expedition was brief, Li Quanqing had indeed gained considerably.

He could now fully ascertain that the sea domain indeed hid a relic of the Heavenly River Dao, with Zhou Caimei having come for it.

Even the Third Rank Ice Phoenix, which had initially failed its tribulation, might have sought refuge within, its true fate unknown.

After all, Thunder Roc King and its kind had been searching for the Ice Phoenix’s body for decades with no success, that mysterious relic held the most potential.

In fact, the Demon Kings probably were clueless about the relic, merely wanting to devour the Ice Phoenix’s demon core and bloodline, hence occupying the sea domain for years.

"Thus, the greatest threat to me is, conversely, Zhou Caimei herself..."

Li Quanqing swiftly traversed the pale silver tunnel, unable to suppress a glint of coldness in his gaze.

Fortunately, the relic likely contained living beings, not easily accessible.

According to the temperament of ancient practitioners, there would surely be tests or the like, to select qualified inheriting disciples.

"The domain near the frontlines, once the next beast tide erupts, we might directly take over there!"

Li Kunlun remarked, although unaware of the Heavenly River Dao matters, he likewise sensed something.

"The outer sea is rich in resources, favorable for cultivators to exploit, perfect for our Li Family’s development needs."

"Moreover, with this space tunnel, using it for trade would bring colossal profits!"

Li Quanqing voiced as well, emphasizing that family growth cannot solely rely on them, it equally demanded endless resources.

Safe and sound, they returned to the Purple Blood Sea Domain, without Golden Core Demons catching up, thus avoiding a catastrophe.

Li Quanqing manipulated the Heavenly River Token, temporarily sealing this space tunnel, preventing other cultivators from discovering anything.

Their breakthrough to the Golden Core had gradually spread throughout the entire sea domain, aided by the deliberate dissemination of the family.

For a while, the fame of the Green Jade Li Family grew resoundingly, truly causing a clamor of competing against Shuihua Sword Sect, even stronger, they commenced their expansion process.

Nine Sword True Man was acutely aware, proactively negotiating various interests to settle matters peacefully, ensuring the sect’s smooth inheritance.

It was at this time, the Nascent Soul Sect[Star Sect]messenger silently arrived, bringing an edict to officially elevate the Li Family to a Golden Core Clan.
