Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

"The Sea Worm King takes action!"

Deep in the ocean, the Black Jiao Emperor watched the continent where the Yellow Emperor's Clan was located, a trace of cold menace flashing across his eyes.

"Yes! Black Jiao Emperor!"

A short, dark-skinned old man with fierce-looking black hair gave a toothy smile and let out a sharp scream.

From the ocean, countless sea monsters resembling sea cockroaches but with two pairs of blade-like legs and a body length of three zhang emerged.

Although these sea demon cockroaches were only First-Order monster beasts, their breeding ability was terrifyingly fearsome, capable of easily producing tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, making them perfect cannon fodder.

"Monsters!! The sea creatures are invading! Go report to the City Lord at once!"

A Qi Cultivation cultivator by the seaside saw the innumerable sea demon cockroaches emerging from the ocean and roared with a drastically changed face. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

The most urgent warning bells rang out, spreading incessantly toward the inland.

Inside a palace at the core area of the Yellow Emperor's Clan.

Le Ziling came to Li Xianjiao and bowed respectfully, "Madam, the sea demon race is attacking! Please ask your husband to come out of seclusion to take charge!"

Jin Ling True Monarch and the other two Nascent Soul Experts sat on the side, observing with detached amusement.

Although Li Xianjiao was Zhao Yu's partner and a strong practitioner of Golden Core Great Perfection, without Zhao Yu's command, she could not mobilize the three Nascent Soul Cultivators like Jin Ling True Monarch.

Li Xianjiao said, "I understand! I will immediately invite my husband to take charge of the situation!"

"No need. I am here!"

Zhao Yu entered the great hall with a smile on his face.

"Greetings, master!"

The three Nascent Soul Cultivators immediately stood up to salute, and the other cultivators in the hall also bowed in respect.

Zhao Yu commanded, "Issue my order. Everyone must retreat to the core area immediately!"

Le Ziling reminded him, "City Lord, if we retreat to the core area, all major ports and port cities will fall! Those Spirit Boats will be utterly lost!"

The Yellow Emperor's Clan's heritage site was a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein, and Zhao Yu had gathered his people on this site, developing it as well.

This continent floating on the ocean had seven port cities built upon it, and many Spirit Boats were moored within the ports. If they retreated to the core area, the port cities would be taken over by monster beasts, and those Spirit Boats moored at the ports would be destroyed.

Zhao Yu said, "Spirit Stones can be earned again if lost! People are the most important! And as long as we kill enough monster beasts, we may not suffer losses!"

A single Fourth-Order Great Demon of Transformation's inner core could sell for more than ten billion Spirit Stones. The inner cores of these Fourth-Order Great Demons would sell without trouble—it's just that there was nobody selling them.

At the Sea God Meeting, Zhao Yu had offered a whopping price of thirteen billion Spirit Stones for a single inner core of a Fourth-Order Great Demon of Transformation, but no one was selling. Besides the inner core, the flesh, bones, scale armor, and internal organs of the transformed Great Demons were all precious materials.

At Zhao Yu's command, the cultivators quickly evacuated from the port cities, retreating towards the core area.

The swarms of sea demon cockroaches and various other sea monsters came ashore and continued to rush like a tide towards the core area of the Yellow Emperor's Clan heritage site.

Seeing the sea demon cockroaches invading the core area, Zhao Yu smiled wryly, took out the jade talisman for controlling the Mountainous Profound Light Great Array, and directly activated the array.

In the Yellow Emperor's Clan, the nodes of spiritual power shone brightly as mountainous profound light shot out from the array toward the sea demon cockroaches.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wherever the Mountainous Profound Light Array passed, thousands of Sea Demon roaches were crushed into chunks and exploded. Apart from the Sea roaches, countless other oceanic demon beasts were also brushed by the Mountainous Profound Light Array and were crushed by its gravity, turned into piles of meat paste.

Satisfaction flickered in Zhao Yu's eyes, "The power of the Mountainous Profound Light Great Array is extraordinary, but unfortunately, it consumes too much!"

The might of the Mountainous Profound Light Great Array was terrifying, but there were two limitations: one was that it could not move and could only be deployed over Fourth-Order and Fifth-Order Spirit Veins; the other was that once activated, it would consume a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

All the Nascent Soul Level forces would stockpile a large quantity of Spirit Stones, precisely to be prepared for the outbreak of such wars.

After several activations of the Mountainous Profound Light, Le Ziling and other Golden Core cultivators led the human cultivators out of the protection of the array, hunting down those fish that slipped through the net that the Mountainous Profound Light didn't kill.

Every beam of Mountainous Profound Light that shot out would consume a massive amount of Spirit Stones, and those weaker demon beasts just happened to become the perfect prey for Le Ziling and the other human cultivators.

A vast number of marine demon insect beasts surged out from the sea, only to be swept away by the Mountainous Profound Light and then slaughtered by the human cultivators.

Those human cultivators all had Golden Core cultivators leading them, and even if they encountered powerful enemies, they could easily retreat back into the great array.

The intense spiritual energy from the Fifth-Order Spirit Vein within the Yellow Emperor's Sect allowed those human cultivators to recover even faster.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Yellow Emperor's Sect awaited opportunities within the great array, as Zhao Yu did not want their mana wasted on those low-level demon beasts.

Wave after wave of dense marine demon insects continuously launched assaults, but aside from leaving behind countless corpses, they achieved nothing. Zhao Yu's side suffered less than thirty human cultivator casualties.

The bodies of those marine demon insects were also collected by the cultivators, and brought into the sect for storage.

The carapaces and blood of those demon insects were materials for drawing Talismans, and most of the insects were quite valuable.

Half a month later.

Creatures from the Sea Wolf Clan with fish-like scale armor, about ten feet in length, and heads similar to giant wolves landed on the continent.

Those Sea Wolf Clan beasts generally formed squads of fifty and surged from all directions toward the core area of the Yellow Emperor's Sect.

Zhao Yu thought to himself, "These oceanic demon clans are really troublesome!"

Although Zhao Yu could continuously trigger the Mountainous Profound Light to eradicate those Sea Wolf Clan beasts, a single activation not only burned through a huge amount of Spirit Stones but also depleted the earth pulse spiritual power.

Even though the Yellow Emperor's Sect was built on a premium Fifth-Order Spirit Vein with an abundance of earth pulse spiritual power, it was somewhat wasteful to continuously use the Mountain Protection Array to kill those lesser demon beasts.

Zhao Yu said, "Elder Mu and Elder Luo, I command you two to temporarily submit to Li Xianjiao's leadership and abide by her commands to deal with those Sea Wolf Clan beasts!"

"Yes! My lord!"

The two Nascent Soul Elders bowed and paid their respects.

Zhao Yu said, "Xianjiao, I'll leave the Sea Wolf Clan beasts to you. Remember to be careful!"

Zhao Yu had to manage the Mountainous Profound Light Great Array on the one hand and stay on guard against other Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Jiao Shen Palace on the other. The task of dealing with the Sea Wolf Clan beasts had to be entrusted to someone he trusted.

Li Xianjiao smiled confidently, "Rest assured, my husband! If it comes to being cautious, I at least have a third of your skills!

Zhao Yu felt a twinge of regret, "Unfortunately, since I've ascended to the Nascent Soul too recently, I have too few friends. Otherwise, if I had several Nascent Soul friends to help out, the pressure would be much less."

Typically, a Nascent Soul Cultivator would have three to five Nascent Soul friends. Some with extensive relations and strong networks could even have over a dozen Nascent Soul friends.

Those Nascent Soul Cultivators with a wide network could easily call upon several friends for support if they encountered trouble.

If Zhao Yu had befriended Black Cloud Elder for several decades, in the future, they might also become good friends.
