Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1372 - 35 Three Saints_2
At the end of his line of sight, a figure with similarly white hair was breaking through the waves, stirring up countless streams of water and bubbles.
Soon, the two figures rapidly converged, facing each other.
Their clothes and dress were exactly the same.
In a flicker, the two figures merged into one.
In their place, there remained only the figure of a white-haired Cultivator with closed eyes.
And the aura of the white-haired Cultivator surged slightly.
The white-haired Cultivator slowly opened his eyes, then showed a deep look of fear:
"These bastards from Yuanci Palace actually have a Class V magic treasure! Lucky I escaped quickly!"
Class V magic treasures, having accumulated power over an extremely long period, possess profound and unparalleled fundamentals, often a newly attained Class V magic treasure could surpass a newly ascended Class V Holy Master.
As the Cultivation Base progresses, the advantage of the magic treasure over the mage gradually diminishes, eventually becoming nonexistent.
Of course, this is provided one has reached between the middle and late stages of Class V.
And the drum from a moment ago, just from its aura alone, seemed to be of the upper grade of Class V.
Far surpassing him, an early-stage Class V Holy Master.
"Wait a minute..."
The white-haired Cultivator suddenly frowned:
"If a Class V upper grade magic treasure was actually used, I would have had no time to react just now..."
He finally realized the truth and his expression darkened involuntarily:
"Damn it! They tricked me!"
He was still puzzled as to why he had never heard of Yuanci Palace possessing such a high-rank magic treasure, and now he understood that it was all a bluff.
He hated that these scoundrels had impersonated so convincingly that he had almost subconsciously believed them.
Now that he understood, the face of the white-haired Cultivator turned red with anger!
"If I don’t kill them, what face does The Fifth Wasp have to compete for the Holy Fruit!"
Immediately, his Spiritual Sence stretched out quickly, and with the help of the continuous elemental force of magnetism in Yuanci Sea, he swiftly locked onto the traces of those four individuals.
...
"This Yuanci Sea is indeed different from the ones we encountered before; there isn’t even a sign of Demonic Beasts."
As they got closer to the surface of the sea, the elemental force of magnetism in the water also became much less, and the light grew brighter.
Daoist Yuanci, using the elemental force of magnetism to envelop the other three, swam quickly towards the surface of the sea.
Looking at the surroundings, apart from the rapids, it was empty and void of anything, just the sea water, which was pitch black and filled with Death Qi of the Yuanci Sea, Xiang Sirui couldn’t help but sigh again.
"Perhaps they fear that Cultivators hide within Demonic Beasts to infiltrate Zhongsheng Continent and thus chose to eradicate them altogether."
Rui Chunqiu recalled the encounter with the white-haired Cultivator earlier and expressed his guess.
Qin Lingxiao, however, slightly furrowed her brow and rarely spoke up:
"It might not have been Cultivators who did it. I seem to sense something else mixed in the elemental magnetic force in this seawater, making it difficult for living things to survive here."
As a Cultivator specializing in the Yuanci Path, she was not disturbed by the elemental force of magnetism and hence sensed the presence of other substances in the force more clearly than Nascent Soul Perfect Practitioners like Xiang Sirui and Rui Chunqiu.
"It should be better once we leave this place."
Although Rui Chunqiu couldn’t feel it, he still offered some comfort.
During this conversation, Daoist Yuanci, leading the three, finally burst out of the sea surface.
Whoosh!
The extremely fast speed upon emerging caused a huge wave to surge on the sea surface.
Under the bright Sunshine, it was like white flowers blossoming on the serene azure sea.
Without the Yuanci Storm and not too strong elemental force of magnetism, there was only the blue sky, slightly dazzling sunlight, and the calls of seabirds.
The sky was clear, and the atmosphere peaceful.
The scene before them was so different from what they felt in the deep sea that the four of them were stunned for a moment.
Xiang Sirui suddenly pointed towards a dark patch at the southern horizon:
"Over there, is that Zhongsheng Continent?"
"It should be... I can feel that the geographical position there is strong; let’s go take a look."
Daoist Yuanci, with a turn of his Spiritual Sence, immediately spoke out.
Having said that, he flew ahead first.
The other three, knowing that danger was not yet averted, also quickly followed Daoist Yuanci.
While concealing their auras, they all pushed their speeds to the extreme.
This time, since the nearby elemental force of magnetism had greatly weakened, they did not need Daoist Yuanci to shield everyone.
Each deployed their methods and Daoist Yuanci’s speed actually fell slightly behind Xiang Sirui’s.

Their rapid flight did not hinder communication between the four.
"Now that we’ve entered Zhongsheng Continent, the Divinity Transformation cultivator we encountered earlier is likely to inform the local powers about us. If we want to find a solution to the Membrane Eye, we probably need to think of another way."
Rui Chunqiu had an expression of grave concern.
Xiang Sirui and Qin Lingxiao couldn’t help but have slightly darkened expressions.
They were not familiar with Zhongsheng Continent to begin with, and now they had encountered an immortal ascension cultivator who bore a hostile relationship, which made them feel exceptionally challenged with just a bit of thought.
Daoist Yuanci, however, had a surprisingly calm face, analyzing:
"The situation is not that bad. The divinity transformation cultivator we’ve just encountered is clearly an enemy of Yuanci Palace. An enemy’s enemy, that might be a friend. Moreover, I and Brother Qin have some connections with this Yuanci Palace. It seems feasible that if we can locate Yuanci Palace, we should be able to gain some support."
"So from now on, before we find Yuanci Palace, we must be cautious in our actions and not reveal our tracks... Furthermore, although it’s very likely that Yuanci Palace will become our friend, we also need to be careful. Something is evidently about to happen in Zhongsheng Continent, and we mustn’t expose ourselves before confirming Yuanci Palace’s attitude towards us."
Hearing Daoist Yuanci’s words, Qin Lingxiao involuntarily turned his face slightly aside.
Meanwhile, Xiang Sirui and Rui Chunqiu nodded in agreement:
"That’s right, before the situation is clear, we can only trust ourselves."
During the conversation,
What was originally a point of dimness in their vision quickly transformed into a long land dike.
"We’re approaching!"
Xiang Sirui uttered softly.
However, soon after, the four who had flown close to the dike all couldn’t help their expressions change slightly.
"This place... is it Zhongsheng Continent?"
The four stood before a large expanse of dark waters, all with looks of astonishment.
Looking afar,
The so-called dike was actually a cliff that drained water from high to sea level.
The roaring water poured from upstream downward.
And atop this cliff, there was a full view of glistening water, hardly a spot of soil to be seen.
Only at the farthest end of their gaze could they faintly spot a few tall and solitary islands, suspended over the boundless waters.
Clouds twined around, with strange winds piercing through.
It was as if this were one of those legendary immortal mountains beyond the sea described in ancient scrolls...
"Have we... not arrived at Zhongsheng Continent yet? But according to the map, once we cross Yuanci Sea, that should be Zhongsheng Continent."
Rui Chunqiu murmured upon witnessing this vast blue landscape, his map was obtained by the sect elders in the past from cultivators of Zhongsheng Continent and should have been reliable.
Daoist Yuanci, however, slightly furrowed his brows.
The geographical position energy here was much denser than the usual islands; clearly, they had arrived at Zhongsheng Continent.
Yet, the scenery before him, for some reason, made him involuntarily think of the ’Qianyu Lake’ he had encountered in the Chen State during his time in the Tianmen Cult.
What was originally a land of peaks and valleys had turned into a lake filled by relentless rains, where the valleys kept the water and the drowned mountains could only expose their peaks, thus turning them into ’islands’.
The scene before him greatly resembled that Qianyu Lake,
Only it was many times larger than Qianyu Lake.
"These waters contain Yuanci, and just like the Yuanci in Yuanci Sea, they all carry a peculiarly corrosive smell."
Qin Lingxiao scanned the water currents below with his spiritual sense and immediately frowned.
Daoist Yuanci had long noticed the anomaly and felt even more puzzled:
"The waters of Zhongsheng Continent contain the power of Yuanci, though not much, then how do the people here practice cultivation? Do they all rely on the power of Yuanci?"
His spiritual sense swept past the land ahead, yet didn’t detect any human aura, but within the water currents, he finally noticed some Demonic Beasts and Spirit Beasts.
"Let’s be careful, disguise ourselves first, then find the local market and see if we can gather some useful information."
Daoist Yuanci considered and said.
The three immediately nodded.
Just as they were about to fly downward,
At that moment, a cold and fierce voice suddenly rose behind them:
"I’ve found you!"
Daoist Yuanci’s face changed dramatically!
"How did he find us?!"
But his reaction was still a beat too slow.
A powerful surge of Yuanci force came crashing toward them!
Daoist Yuanci could only protect himself, and in the next moment, all four were separately flung by the formidable energy in separate directions!
Daoist Yuanci trembled violently!
Without the slightest hesitation, an ancient drum appeared in an instant!
In mid-air, the white-haired cultivator wore a fierce cold sneer:
"Heh heh, still trying to bluff me?"
"This time, I’ll see if you can still deceive me!"
