Chapter 576: Chapter 291: Floating Island Immortal Assembly! Fan Xian’Er (Part 2)
...
Half a month later, inside the secluded chamber, Zheng Yi opened his eyes once again.
At this moment, an Impermeable Golden Core appeared in front of him, which he swallowed in one gulp.
Endless golden brilliance surrounded him, and the faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger growls seemed to echo.
As Zheng Yi absorbed the Golden Core into his body, all the phenomena disappeared.
Subsequently, he exuded an aura of magical power as solid as the earth, concentrated like profound iron, and his cultivation had progressed further.
The speed of this advancement was unparalleled.
Thanks to the Ninth Grade Golden Core, an Impermeable Golden Core, assisted by dragons and tigers, with Yin and Yang coexisting, his cultivation speed only required him to continually nurture his own magical power and Golden Core, and his Dao practice had no obstacles, the path was smooth, with time being the only expense.
"Time’s up."
"I do want to see what on earth this Floating Island Immortal Assembly is all about? What exactly are the motives of the thirty-six Island Lords..."
Zheng Yi immediately set off, traveling alone this time without any companions.
After all, with his current power, subordinates could only assist him at best.
Compared to Zheng Yi, there was still a significant gap.
If danger arose, who ultimately takes care of whom was uncertain.
Moreover, traveling alone meant no burden, significantly increasing his speed.
...
Immortal Floating Island was an independent great power within the East Origin Sea Realm, with a heritage lasting over a thousand years.
Even among the thirty-six islands, it ranked in the top five.
Among the powers of the human race in this sea realm, it’s one of the top ones, and the Island Lord, Haicang Zhenren, was famous and had reached the late stage of Golden Core seventy years ago.
Moreover, he condensed a Sixth Grade True Pill, and during his tribulation crossing back then, he was just one step away from entering the Upper Third Grade Golden Core ranks, which speaks to his excellent aptitude.
With the foundation of Immortal Floating Island over hundreds of years, his Dao practice grew deeper, making his powers exceedingly potent.
He was one of those Enlightened True Cultivators with a sliver of hope to step into the Nascent Soul Stage.
Immortal Floating Island houses more than one Core Formation Cultivator, with countless disciples, managing at least a hundred mortal islands, making it a true leading power among the human race.
This time, the Floating Island Immortal Assembly gathered all nearby Core Formation powers to counter the Flood Dragon Demon Court.
Zheng Yi, with his Top-Grade Golden Core, was naturally invited as well, and given that he had already slain the Unicorne Flood Dragon, being already at life-and-death odds with the Demon Court, having another pressure-sharing organization would naturally benefit the Floating Island Immortal Assembly.
On his way, Zheng Yi traveled at great speed, flashing over the sea like a streak of golden light.
There weren’t many people reckless enough to intercept him either, understanding that cultivators daring to fly alone over the sea these days were not to be underestimated.
Without sufficient confidence, it would be a suicidal act.
Moreover, Zheng Yi’s prowess in the golden light was indeed too fast; many cultivators didn’t even have the chance to glimpse it properly before it vanished beyond the horizon, a speed terrifying enough to deter any ill-intentioned individuals.
Half a day later, Immortal Floating Island.
Zheng Yi arrived right on time.
By this point, the venue for the Floating Island Immortal Assembly was already teeming with sea realm cultivators.
Upon landing, an attendant naturally came to greet him, guiding him towards the main assembly hall.
As it was a grand gathering of the Sea Realm, not only did major powers with Core Formation cultivators attend, but numerous smaller powers following these major powers also came to join in.
After all, tagging along with these major powers at least ensures a share of benefits, avoiding neglect when problems arise.
Currently, facing the threat of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Demon Court.
Many independent cultivator islands could only band together for warmth.
"Isle Master Azure waves, arriving!"
With a loud voice ringing in the assembly hall, the originally bustling hall suddenly quieted down.
Everyone turned their heads in unison, looking towards the door, as for many, this Isle Master Azure waves had risen in recent ten years, achieving Core Formation in a day, successively annexing the Seven Great Pirate Gangs, establishing Azure waves Island, and subjugating the core formation great pirate leader, Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng.
One could say he was considered a legend in the eyes of many independent cultivators on the Immortal Islands.
However, Isle Master Azure waves, neither entirely good nor evil, directly controlled the maritime trade route, requiring any commerce association passing through their paths to pay a fee for safe passage.
Later, when envoys from the Flood Dragon Imperial Court came to exert pressure.
This Isle Master Azure waves made an explosive move, directly slaying the messenger from the Flood Dragon Demon Court, stirring up tidal waves.
Such a roguish character.
A reputed Upper Third Grade Golden Core as well.
It’s impossible for others not to be curious about him.
Zheng Yi paid no heed to the surrounding scrutinizing, admiring, hostile, or merely curious gazes, striding purposefully towards the center of the assembly hall.
His aim here was solely to meet Haicang Zhenren.
To see what intentions this reputed True Man hopeful for Nascent Soul and Immortal Floating Island harbored?
Suddenly, a fiery red figure appeared in front of him, blocking Zheng Yi’s path.
"I heard you’re the Isle Master Azure waves with a Top-Grade Golden Core. My name is Fan Xian’Er, and I want to make a deal with you..."
"You can name your price!"
Zheng Yi looked up and saw a charming young girl in a Fire Feather Crane Robe, probably no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face full of youthful vitality, her features delicate, and a hint of willfulness in her demeanor.
Zheng Yi cast a deep look at this girl, not because he was interested in her pretty appearance.
But because he could sense a fiery source of energy within her, constantly emitting mysterious energy waves, transforming and organizing the girl’s magical power within.
This seemed normal enough.
After all, the East Origin Sea Region was rich in resources and abundant in spiritual power, with many Immortal Islands and Cultivation Realms, much more prosperous and thriving than the Great Yi City Immortal Realm.
While rare in Great Yi City, high-above Core Formation True Cultivators were still significant figures here but not so uncommon.
And let alone the Thirty-Six Islands, all hovered at the Core Formation power level.
If there were no hidden monsters among them, even Zheng Yi himself would not believe it.
So seeing that this girl had a mysterious treasure inside her, Zheng Yi was not particularly surprised.
But while others observed the surface, he looked to the essence.
The Celestial Demon Relic in his mind slightly trembled, sending a string of messages to him, making Zheng Yi furrow his brows.
The Celestial Demon Relic’s precise magical power information revealed that something innate within this charming girl’s body posed a threat to the Celestial Demon Power.
This was what piqued Zheng Yi’s curiosity.
Given how long he had possessed the Celestial Demon Relic, he deeply understood the Celestial Demon Dao’s enigmatic and mysterious nature, with its myriad transformations, making it rare for anything to affect it significantly.
And this girl had something within her that did just that.
Even intrinsically threatening the Celestial Demon Relic.
That’s why he took an extra look.
He felt that thing not only assisted in organizing the girl’s internal magical power but, more importantly, seemed to be repressing or concealing something.
"Where exactly is your gaze lingering?"
Seeing Zheng Yi’s gaze stray, the fiery red Fan Xian’Er purposefully puffed out her chest and then spoke crossly.
"Look quickly, the little princess of Immortal Crane Island, Fan Xian’Er, is facing off with Isle Master Azure waves."
"Indeed, Fan Xian’Er has a deep background, hard to deal with because she has Immortal Crane Island as her backing...."
"This will be interesting to watch!"
"Everyone shut up, don’t disturb my show!"
A wave of commotion arose in the surroundings, clearly surprised that someone dared to block the path of Isle Master Azure waves, even more so being Fan Xian’Er, the little princess of Immortal Crane Island, one of the thirty-six islands and a joint organizer of this Floating Island Immortal Assembly.
"Step aside!"
"If there’s an issue, seek me privately if you can afford the cost..."
"Now isn’t the time for you to block my way..."
Zheng Yi gave her a glance, and on a whim, didn’t outright refuse, speaking ambiguously instead.
Honestly, he was somewhat interested in the thing this girl possessed.
After all, as expansive as the Cultivation Realm was, anything that could fundamentally threaten the Celestial Demon Relic was indeed rare.
There was some inevitable curiosity within Zheng Yi.
