Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 103 Tang Qiuyao: Junior Brother is becoming more and more capable!
Within a few days, the news that the underwater volcanoes in the Feiyu Sea had begun to erupt violently spread across half of the Yuzhou continent.

After a brief moment of surprise, many large and small forces stopped paying attention. After all, Feiyu Sea was not a Feng Shui treasure land, and everyone was very busy.

Only the many small forces whose territories are located in the Feiyu Sea area would be worried about this matter.

This is because the intensity and duration of this sudden volcanic eruption are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

One day, ten days, one month, three months...

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. The eruption of the submarine volcano group not only shows no signs of stopping, but is becoming more and more intense, and its affected area is gradually expanding.

The uninhabited islands in the waters of Huangling Island had long disappeared, and then the territories of the small foundation-building forces sandwiched between the Ling family and the Mu family were successively swallowed up by volcanic magma, and countless mortal people suffered casualties.

Longhuan Island.

In the family meeting hall, many foundation-building elders gathered, including Ling Changqing.

A huge magic projection mirror showed the scene of the sea area of ​​​​Desolate Spirit Island.

Fire clouds filled the air and thick smoke billowed, blocking out the sun. At every moment, a huge amount of sea water would turn into milky white steam under the high temperature, connecting the sky and the ground, like a super steamer.

From time to time, you can see large masses of high-temperature magma rushing up to the sky, exploding thousands of feet in the air, turning into countless lava rains pouring down, covering the sea area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

The vast sea surface in the distance was almost covered with the corpses of various marine creatures, with no end in sight.

The boiling sea water has now turned into a super soup pot. All these ferocious creatures have been cooked and turned into natural seafood soup. The airspace within a radius of tens of thousands of miles is filled with enticing aroma.

For the billions of creatures in the ocean, this is an absolute doomsday catastrophe.

In the face of such a drastic change that is almost earth-shattering, even the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is not worth mentioning.

"...How long will this group of submarine volcanoes continue to wreak havoc? It won't be endless, right?"

The elegant and charming Qin Yun sighed softly, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Elder Ling Tianhe gently stroked the pair of bronze jade beads in his hands, pondering in silence.

Many new foundation-building monks looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time any of them had encountered such a situation, and no one had any idea how to deal with it.

Tang Qiuyao said softly: "According to your order, the family head, the protective formation of the family headquarters has been activated, and the same is true for Zen Heart Island.

However, according to the feedback from the family members, the waters around Longhuan Island have become somewhat unstable, and the sea temperature has shown signs of rising. "

The elders' faces changed slightly. This was not a good sign, as it meant that the scale of the eruption of the submarine volcano group was continuing to expand.

If this natural disaster continues for a few more months, I am afraid that the Ling family’s territory will also be affected!
Ling Changqing frowned and said, "If this is impossible, then we have no choice but to give up Longhuan Island and let all the family members retreat back to Chanxin Island first."

Everyone was shocked. Some elders seemed to want to refute, but they swallowed the words back.

The third-order protective formation may not be able to withstand the power of heaven and earth. Once the eruption of the submarine volcanoes continues to expand, Longhuan Island will inevitably be submerged by volcanic magma.

Therefore, the wisest approach is to give up Longhuan Island and prioritize preserving the family's vitality.

Chanxin Island is located on the edge of Feiyu Sea. This was a disadvantage in the past, but now it is the Ling family's luck.

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Then let the family members below the middle stage of Qi training evacuate first, and the rest of the family members will decide whether to evacuate or not after seeing the subsequent situation!
There is no need to feel sorry. After all, this Longhuan Island was seized territory, so just pretend it never existed!"

Ling Tianque nodded slowly: "This is the only way now. As long as the family's vitality is still there, we will naturally be able to conquer more territories in the future. We don't have to worry about the gains and losses of a city or a piece of land!"

Tang Qiuyao chuckled: "Compared to those small families that were engulfed by the high-temperature magma, our Ling family is already lucky enough. The Mu family's current situation is even worse than ours!"

The waters of Huangling Island, where the underwater super volcano group is located, belong to the marginal area of ​​Youye Islands, so the pressure that the Mu family is under now is extremely great.

So far, dozens of islands of various sizes on the Mu family's territory have been engulfed by high-temperature magma, and the core territory is covered by volcanic dust.

As long as the eruption of this group of volcanoes continues for a while, perhaps the Youno Islands will become history?

Ling Changqing had a premonition that after this catastrophe, the Mu family's territory would most likely cease to exist. Even if the head of the family, Mu Yesheng, could lead some of the clan members to escape, they would all become rootless.

Without territory, it means losing the foundation for sustainable development. They can only be regarded as independent cultivators, and the threat to the Ling family is greatly reduced.

Of course, Mu Yesheng is a True Dan cultivator after all, so perhaps he can lead his people to swallow up one or two small forces and seize back a piece of territory.

But the surrounding forces may not sit idly by. In any case, the Ling family will never let them succeed easily.

"...Okay, all the elders, go and prepare. I hope we can survive this disaster!"

Ling Qiyue said finally.

The elders present stood up, saluted, and then left.

After a moment, only Tang Qiuyao and Ling Changqing were left in the hall.

Ling Qiyue stood up and led the two of them into the back hall.

"...According to the information sent back by the secret agent over there, the situation of the Mu family is not optimistic!"

After sitting down again, Ling Qiyue spoke with a serious expression.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "It would be better if they were destroyed like this, otherwise we will have to go through a lot of trouble to destroy them in the future!"

Ling Changqing seemed to be thinking about something. The submarine volcano group was originally next to the Mu family's territory. Now that it suddenly erupted, it was expected that the Mu family would be in trouble.

However, for the Bai family and the Yuan family, who are farther away, Yulong Island will not be greatly affected.

"Then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to maintain our alliance with the Bai family."

Ling Changqing said that as long as the Mu family disappeared, the top leaders of the Bai family, who no longer have any major threats, would probably feel that they are fine again.

There are also the Yuan Family and Yulong Island, which are located further away. According to the latest secret intelligence, each of these two forces has a fake Dan Zhenren in charge, and no less than twenty foundation-building cultivators.

Logically speaking, these two companies are the most powerful forces in the Feiyu Sea, and they should both have the opportunity to unify the entire sea.

It was only because the territories of the two families were close to each other that they were unable to expand outward on a large scale due to the checks and balances on each other, which gave the later Mu family and the Ling family the opportunity.

Now that the Mu family is finished, the Ling family will inevitably have to confront these forces, whether Ling Qiyue is willing or not.

Anyway, if the Ling family wants to take control of the entire Feiyu Sea area, they will have to fight a few good battles.

"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs, we can destroy them with a flick of the hand!"

Ling Qiyue snorted coldly. The Ling family had more and more chips in their hands. Even if the three opposing families joined forces, they could not do anything to the Ling family.

"Senior Sister, are we just going to wait and see what happens? Should we do something?"

Ling Changqing said that they didn't know when this disaster would end, but the Ling family couldn't just sit there and watch.

"Of course not. The three of us have to go out and get some rare resources back!"

Ling Qiyue smiled, raised her hand and pinched the spiritual formula, and a magic projection light mirror with a diameter of several feet quietly emerged.

The mirror showed a scene on the vast ocean. A large number of scattered warriors were driving various simple flying swords and flying boats, flying back and forth on the sea. "They... are actually fighting over those dead sea monsters?"

Tang Qiuyao said in surprise.

Floating on the sea are densely packed sea fish and sea beasts, as well as some deep-sea monsters that are rarely seen.

First and second level evil creatures are more common, third level ones are less common, and fourth level ones are almost non-existent.

After all, the fourth-order evil creature corresponds to the Nascent Soul powerhouse among human cultivators, so it is not a problem for them to escape and protect themselves in such a catastrophe.

Unless it is a fourth-level evil creature that is extremely unlucky and happens to be located in the core area of ​​a volcanic eruption, there is a possibility of serious injury or even death.

Ling Qiyue said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many second- and third-level monsters are rare resources for cultivators. We must go and grab some of them back!"

Many second-level evil creatures have demon cores in their bodies, which are the condensed essence of their entire body's life. They are the key raw materials for refining foundation-building pills and longevity pills. You can imagine how valuable they are.

As for the third-order evil creature core, it is even more precious. It can be used to refine the core material of the Crystal Condensation Pill, which is an indispensable key resource for foundation-building cultivators to break through to the Pill Formation stage.

The meat of some deep-sea monsters is extremely tender and delicious. It is a rare ingredient that is very much loved by Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Daxiu, and can be sold at sky-high prices in the market.

Ling Changqing nodded: "In that case, let's get going!"

So a moment later, the three of them drove a flying boat to the sea area off Longhuan Island and flew rapidly towards the direction of the volcanic eruption.

Along the way, from time to time you can see groups of wandering cultivators, who are traveling enthusiastically, as if they were full of energy.

After several hours, Ling Changqing and the other two had already penetrated thousands of miles, gradually approaching the core area of ​​the volcanic eruption, and the temperature in the space was getting higher and higher.

The sky above was already a heart-pounding dark red, with thick clouds covering the sky. Amidst the swirling high-temperature cyclones, scorching volcanic ash was falling.

The sea water below was steaming and surging like a boiling pot, and dead bodies of fish and sea beasts could occasionally be seen.

In deeper water, there are still large groups of surviving sea creatures, fleeing with their families into the distance.

Due to the sharp increase in the temperature of the sea water, some sea creatures that could not hold on halfway turned into corpses while swimming and were cooked in a short while.

A pot of super seafood soup...

Ling Changqing pondered in his heart and looked towards the end of the sky. There was a bright orange-red color and countless thick pillars of fire were faintly visible, piercing the sky and the earth.

As Tang Qiuyao continued to steer the flying boat deeper, the corpses of the evil creatures floating on the sea surface increased in number, forming a continuous stretch, which was a horrifying sight.

A large group of scattered creatures were happily searching the sea, rummaging through the water to find those second-level sea beasts, especially those with demon cores in their bodies, which became the target of everyone's crazy scramble.

Sometimes, it is common for several independent cultivators to quarrel or even fight over the corpse of a vicious beast.

Ling Changqing saw with his own eyes a casual cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training being besieged by seven or eight cultivators. He was beaten into a sieve after just a few rounds, and his body fell into the boiling sea. His belongings were instantly divided up and looted.

In addition, there were some second- and third-order deep-sea monsters that had not yet died. When they were pulled out by the monks, they suddenly woke up, showing their ferocious fangs, and madly attacked any creature around them that dared to approach.

From time to time, there would be monks who were unable to react in time and were torn into pieces by the ferocious creatures’ dying counterattacks and eaten as food.

The boiling sea water soon turned into a heart-pounding blood red.

"Go deeper and don't get involved with these guys!"

Ling Qiyue said that although she was not afraid of these hyena-like cultivators, there was no need to get involved now.

Tang Qiuyao agreed and controlled the flying boat to continue approaching the volcanic eruption area.

After flying for thousands of miles, the temperature around them was getting higher and higher. The corpses of ferocious creatures were densely packed on the sea. The extremely strong aroma of seafood filled the sky and the earth, making Ling Changqing feel salivating.

If this wasn't the right occasion...

"That's about it, right? It would be dangerous if we go any deeper!"

As Tang Qiuyao spoke, there were basically no other cultivators to be seen in the area where the three of them were, and thunder-like explosions were heard coming from the depths of the fire cloud, one after another.

High-temperature steam filled every inch of space around him. Large clumps of dark red magma would fall from the top of his head from time to time, and would explode violently when they hit the sea surface.

"Okay, here it is!"

As Ling Qiyue spoke, she summoned the magic weapon, Fenghuo Panyun Bell.

A thick red cloud of light emerged, and the sound of a bell that seemed to be there and not there echoed in the soul. This primary magic weapon turned into a size of ten feet and enveloped the three people's heads.

Brilliant and gorgeous red clouds fell down and turned into a thick and tough light curtain, bearing the danger from all directions.

“…Senior Sister, that is a six-fanged tiger-headed dragon!”

Ling Changqing immediately spotted the indigo-blue, glossy scale-covered, over ten feet long, second-order peak ferocious beast among the densely packed corpses of ferocious creatures.

This guy not only has a very high-quality demon core inner elixir, but his meat is also extremely delicious. He can take it back and treat it as a rare delicacy.

"Ok!"

Ling Qiyue waved her hand, and the big guy was grabbed by an invisible force and flew into the air, flying in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Tang Qiuyao took it, sealed it with the Xuanbing spell, and then put it into the storage bag.

"Well, there seems to be a 500-year-old seven-sided star turtle under the water ten feet deep over there?"

Ling Changqing soon sensed a new target.

Ling Qiyue did as she was told and quickly caught the third-level ferocious creature from the sea.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the Epoch Star Palace was shaking slightly. Within a radius of nearly a hundred feet, all objects, whether in the air or underwater, were visible in Ling Changqing's sight.

This is a special magical power that Ling Changqing acquired after successfully building his foundation. As long as it is within the coverage of his spiritual sense, nothing can avoid his perception.

"...There, in the water 23 meters deep, there is a deep-sea ghost-faced mastiff. Be careful, it seems to still be breathing!"

Ling Changqing spoke to Ling Qiyue with a serious expression.

Ling Qiyue raised her hand, and the roiling and boiling sea water suddenly parted, and then the true appearance of the third-level ferocious creature that was not yet dead was revealed.

Without waiting for it to react, Tang Qiuyao raised her hand and pointed, and dozens of sword energies as sharp as lightning fell, cutting it into several pieces and destroying all its life.

"Over there, at a depth of fifty feet, there is a group of escaped Deep Sea Soul Devouring Vine. Unfortunately, they are now half dead. They seem to have quite a few Soul Devouring Blood Soul Fruits..."

Ling Changqing continued speaking.

Just like that, following his instructions, the two women kept collecting the newly discovered corpses of the second- and third-level monsters.

"Yes, Junior Brother is becoming more and more capable!"

Tang Qiuyao looked delighted and spoke with a smile.
