Chapter 41 The Strength of the Azure Abyss Xuanjiao! Azure Sea Stabilizer!
The endless sea, tens of thousands of miles away.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and giant waves surged into the sky.
The true form of the thousand-foot-long dragon rose majestically from the deep sea, its black jade-like scales reflecting a dark and cold luster.
Two enormous horns on his forehead, as black as iron and flashing with lightning, proclaimed his noble lineage as a descendant of the dragon race.
Its appearance caused an uproar in the surrounding hundreds of miles of sea.
Those dragon eyes were like two blood-red dark moons, looking down at the tiny figure standing silently in the void not far away.
"Hua Shisan! Does your Nine Hua Sword Sect truly intend to become an enemy of my East Sea Dragon Court?"
"Long Xuan! The human and demon races have been fighting each other since ancient times, so how can you say they are enemies? Besides, who said that just because this secret realm is within the territory of the Dragon Court, it belongs to you?"
The opportunities of heaven and earth belong to the capable!
This secret realm is something our human race is determined to possess!
"Ah! What a fine example of the capable ruling! Today, I will offer your Nascent Soul as a sacrifice to the majesty of my Dragon Court!"
Long Xuan's voice was like ancient ice shattering, and the rolling dragon roar caused the sea surface to sink several feet into the air.
Hua Shisan, his blue robe fluttering in the wind, surrounded by a calm and tranquil atmosphere, like a pure land.
He had a thin face and extremely sharp eyes.
Looking at the towering waves engulfing him from all sides, his heart remained calm!
Upon seeing this, Long Xuan roared to the sky, "Arrogant! The Thunder Dragon has descended upon the world!"
Boom boom boom!
The moment Long Xuan's voice fell, the world lost its color, and countless bolts of lightning in the dark sky transformed into phantom dragons and fell toward Hua Shisan's location.
Sensing the power of this move, Hua Shisan dared not be careless. His eyes narrowed sharply, and he pointed his sword.
The three-foot-long sword behind him was suddenly drawn!
"The Secret Technique of Jiuhua - Primordial Dividing Light Sword Art!"
Millions of dazzling sword lights erupted from behind him.
In an instant, the Milky Way reversed direction, radiating light and illuminating the dim sky as bright as day.
The next moment, the sword light split in two. One part surged toward the falling thunder dragon, while the other part converged into a torrent of sword light that stretched across the sky, directly cleaving through the giant wave cage and striking Long Xuan's thousand-foot-long dragon body.
"Heh, Hua Shisan, is this all the strength you have?"
Xuanming Dragon Claw!
Feeling the power of this move, Long Xuan scoffed and then swung out a claw.
The surrounding space shattered instantly as a gigantic, pitch-black claw clashed violently with the torrent of sword light.
boom--!!
The sound of the collision echoed through the sky, and the released energy blasted a huge hole tens of miles in diameter into the sea.
It took a long time to close.
The sword light shattered inch by inch under the dragon's claws.
Hua Shisan's body trembled violently, his face turned pale, and he drifted backward for dozens of miles.
A deep trench has been carved into the sea beneath our feet.
"How dare an ant's power shake the heavens?"
As the master of the Dragon Court, Long Xuan's cultivation level was already at the mid-stage of the fourth rank. Coupled with his incredibly powerful dragon body, he could remain undefeated even when facing a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
He naturally didn't take Hua Shisan, who was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, seriously at all.
Upon hearing this, Hua Shisan's spiritual energy surged, evaporating the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"As expected of the Lord of the Dragon Court, I, Hua Shisan, am no match for him, however—"
As he said this, he took a deep breath, formed a sword incantation with his hands, and his voice rang out clearly through the roar of dragons and the tsunami:
"Azure Sea Stabilizer! Emerge!"
In an instant, a dark blue sword light shot into the sky, and an ancient giant sword that stretched across the sky and sea appeared before Long Xuan.
Runes flowed across the sword's blade, exuding a vast sword intent.
"Hehe, Hua Shisan, you actually took out the Azure Sea-Stabilizing Sword, the sect's most powerful and sentient artifact, which has come to life in your Nine Hua Sword Sect!"
Are you really not afraid that I, the king, will take it away?
"The divine sword possesses a spirit! The sacred artifact of my Nine Hua Sword Sect will never serve the demon race as its master!"
"Well, would you mind listening to me before making any further plans?"
Long Xuan stared at the floating Azure Sea-Stabilizing Sword, his dragon eyes darting about, his expression turning grim.
It was obvious that it knew how powerful the sword before it was.
Two thousand years ago, it led the demon race to attack the Jiuhua Sword Sect, which only had one Nascent Soul stage ancestor.
They thought victory was assured, but everything changed when that cultivator drew that sword.
The two sword strikes severely injured him and also killed one of his early-stage fourth-tier generals, resulting in a heavy loss.
Although that cultivator also suffered a severe backlash, he managed to force himself to retreat.
Later, I heard that the Azure Sea-Stabilizing Sword was a divine weapon at the peak of the fourth tier, about to give birth to a spirit.
Who knows if the artifact spirit has been created yet?
After a moment's thought, he transformed into a middle-aged man with a dignified expression, exuding an aura of authority, and dressed in a black dragon robe.
He looked at Hua Shisan and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Hua Shisan was not surprised to see this, and said seriously, "After the secret realm opens, we will investigate how many living beings it can accommodate. The humans and demons will share the spoils equally."
How about we cooperate to resist the intrusion of other Nascent Soul cultivators?
Long Xuan wanted to refuse, but seeing the Azure Sea-Stabilizing Sword emanating a threatening aura, he had no choice but to agree.
"Very well! If your Nine Hua Sword Sect dares to play any tricks, the East Sea Dragon Court will surely unleash a beast tide to raze humanity to the ground!"
……
In Forget-Worry City, Zhang Xuanchen roamed through various markets, frantically searching for local specialty rare and precious materials.
Second-tier, top-grade Forget-Me-Not Lotus Stamen.
Second-tier, mid-grade Cloud Fish Spirit Pearl.
The first-grade top-quality spiritual tea, Worry-Free Stone, can help cultivators enter a meditative state more quickly.
There are also other spiritual herbs and treasures that cannot be bought in Yunhua Immortal City.
Of course, seeds are also essential.
It cost him over 70,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After doing all this, I spent two spirit stones to buy a map of the City of Forgetfulness.
Because I really didn't want to ask for directions.
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you might really give them the cold shoulder.
After arriving at Tianya Restaurant and booking a room, he stayed on the bed with his legs crossed and began to cultivate.
The next day, it was getting dark.
Zhang Xuanchen received news of the arrival of members of the Zhang family.
He immediately ran excitedly to the city gate to greet them.
Upon seeing Elder Zhang Zujun, Zhang Hongqing, Zhang Hongxi, Zhang Xuanbing, Zhang Xuanming, and others, he excitedly approached them.
"Elder, Uncle Qing, Aunt Hongxi, Brother, Fifth Brother, and everyone else, how have you been?"
"Xiao Chen (Xuan Chen)!"
Everyone was both surprised and delighted to see Zhang Xuanchen suddenly appear.
I really didn't expect Zhang Xuanchen to be here!
Zhang Xuanbing immediately hugged Zhang Xuanchen.
If you were to ask who in the family is most worried about him, it would definitely be Zhang Xuanbing.
Not long after Zhang Xuanchen left, Zhang Xuanbing noticed something was wrong.
He wanted to get the exact location of his younger brother from his father.
But Zhang Hongzhan said he didn't know either, only that it was Zhang Xuanchen's opportunity and that no one else could interfere.
Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain, and you might even lose your life!
Unable to obtain the information he sought, Zhang Xuanbing had no choice but to go to the place where his younger brother's soul tablet was kept, guarding it day and night, fearing that it might shatter one day.
Zhang Xuanbing patted Zhang Xuanchen on the back and said in a deep voice, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
"Brother, I'm fine, I'm perfectly okay, don't worry."
He then released Zhang Xuanbing and looked at the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zhang Zujun, Zhang Hongqing, and Zhang Hongxi, saying, "Elder, Uncle Qing, Aunt Hongxi, I have already booked thirty spiritual energy rooms at Tianya Restaurant."
The three of us will share a room and rest for a while. It's not too late to go tomorrow.
I also have something extremely important to tell you all, something that concerns your lives. We'll go to Tianya Restaurant first; it's crowded and dangerous there.
He was going to tell everyone that the Central Divine Dragon Cave was a scam, and he would just say that Yan Ruyu had told him.
In any case, Tianya Restaurant is considered extremely mysterious by various forces, so it's understandable that it knows things that others don't.
