Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 264 - Chapter 264 Chapter 171 This is a Big Shot You Cant Afford to

Chapter 264: Chapter 171: This is a Big Shot You Can’t Afford to Offend! Chapter 264: Chapter 171: This is a Big Shot You Can’t Afford to Offend! Mysterious Turtle Island.

The sky had just begun to brighten when Su Ping, who had been sitting cross-legged by the Heavenly Pond all night, twitched his right hand and caught a silver fish, ending his fishing at this Second Tier Fishing Point.

Su Ping hadn’t caught anything exceptional at the Second Tier Fishing Point behind the Mount Emei backwater on Water Blue Star.

This time, finding a moment to visit the fishing point on Mysterious Turtle Island and fishing all night, he finally had a catch worth mentioning.

He not only caught a Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish, which could enhance his Divine Sense, but also a juvenile Mysterious Turtle.

At the same time, his fishing experience level had progressed to:

[Current Fishing Level: 5 (950/5000)]

The Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish was an item needed for a rare companion’s breakthrough; however, the catch rate of rare companions was too low. Su Ping hesitated only for half a second before deciding to consume the Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish.

In doing so, he further enhanced the strength of his Divine Sense.

The most direct change was that his Greedy Wolf Divine Sense transformed from three heads to four.

During the process of enhancing his Divine Sense, Su Ping faintly felt as if he was touching a certain limit. Once reached,

not only his Divine Sense, but his overall quality would undergo a transformation!

After experiencing his new strength, Su Ping looked towards the juvenile Mysterious Turtle.

He discovered that this time there was an additional integration option available.

Su Ping could choose to slowly nurture an additional juvenile Mysterious Turtle, or use this rare fish catch to integrate with his existing young Mysterious Turtle, thus enhancing its innate abilities.

According to the information, there was a very small chance of enhancing the quality of the existing Mysterious Turtle, allowing it to attain new Divine Skills.

Su Ping had already provided abundant resources for the growth of the previous juvenile Mysterious Turtle.

The cost of the Foundation Establishment demon beasts he fed it was at least a five-figure sum.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, unless there was a certain amount of quantity, quality was still more important.

Su Ping chose to integrate.

Watching as the icon of the superior quality Mysterious Turtle in his inventory gradually blurred and then vanished.

He saw a piece of information pop up.

The young Mysterious Turtle had integrated with a pure original source.

Its attribute growth was slightly increased.

Its bloodline quality had slightly improved.

Its affinity with the sea and volcanoes had been slightly enhanced.

It had become stronger…

Su Ping was only sorry that he had released the Mysterious Turtle into the sea bed of Water Blue Star and couldn’t summon it immediately to see the changes.

He could only silently make a note of this and remember to check next time he returned to Water Blue Star.

Su Ping stood on the highest mountain top on Mysterious Turtle Island.

Facing the morning sun, he gazed towards the direction of the North Dipper Seven Stars Island.

There, that eerie secret realm still existed.

Moreover, the Artifact Heart Sect’s Old Ancestor was indeed still there, unable to extricate himself.

It was because all this intelligence was real that had led the genius of Devil Heart Sect into the trap.

After thinking, Su Ping decided to give up going to that secret realm.

Knowing that it was set up by the Artifact Heart Sect along with the Immortal Sect and the Great Golden Light Temple was enough.

That secret realm must have also been exposed to the gaze of more major forces.

Consequently,

there were now too many powerful figures gathered there.

Even with his Memory Illusion, he wasn’t in a position to muddy the waters anymore.

Who knew if one of those powerful figures’ Heaven and Earth Net might reveal his true self hiding in the sky or seabed?

“It’s better to return early and cultivate properly.”

Su Ping put away his fishing rod, transformed into the Memory Illusion of the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong,

and began to fly through the air.

He had just left the surrounding waters of Mysterious Turtle Island.

Su Ping suddenly saw a large tower ship being pursued by over a dozen small trading ships.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Su Ping saw that the tower ship was full of civilians.

Among them were even the family he had met during his first journey to Mysterious Turtle Island on that fishing boat.

They huddled together in fear, trembling in the ship’s cabin just like many others.

Meanwhile, the cultivators on the tower ship were desperately maintaining its defensive formation from being breached.

Periodically a cultivator would turn pale, vomit blood, and faint, quickly replaced by another cultivator.

Just looking at the remaining relief cultivators, one could tell that those aboard the tower ship were not going to last much longer.

In contrast, the cultivators chasing them on the trading ships looked healthy and vigorous, clearly still having plenty of strength left.

“Stop resisting! Surrender now, and I can assure you won’t die!”

On one trading ship, a frail, green-robed elder rose up on a mass of black energy, shouting several times towards the tower ship.

After discovering no response, he snorted and took out the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

After muttering a few spells,

dozens of ten-meter-long smoke-like evil spirits burst out from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, screeching as they slammed into the tower ship, causing bursts of golden light.

Meanwhile, the other trading ships’ cultivators also continued to weaken the tower ship’s defenses by using their magic or Magic Artifacts.

The counterattack from the tower ship seemed much weaker.

Only an old man with a long beard, using a Flying Sword, occasionally transformed it into a streak of blue light taking the lives of one or two pursuers,

But those that were hit were generally the lowest in cultivation,

and thus did not affect the overall situation.

Su Ping, observing the battle below, swept both sides with his Divine Sense, confirming that neither side had a Foundation Establishment Cultivator,

“Interesting!”

Su Ping finished the fine wine in the bottle, returning the empty bottle to his storage bag.

Then, with a movement, he appeared above that tower ship.

“It’s a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”

The old man on the tower ship and the elder in the air above the trading ships both immediately spotted Su Ping and almost simultaneously exclaimed.

“Taoist Friend…”

The elder with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner tried to speak,

but Su Ping had already exercised his Divine Skills and transformed into a giant hand that passed through the evil spirits, directly seizing him in mid-air.

In a blink, the elder couldn’t even shout before his body was crushed.

After the Ten Thousand Soul Banner lost its spirit light, it was swept away by divine sense into Su Ping’s hands.

Su Ping glanced at the cultivators on the merchant ships who were still in a state of confusion and exclaimed,

“A group of Tribulation Cultivators and evil cultivators combined, also worthy of calling me a Taoist friend!”

“The Overseas Islands should have been a place for ordinary people and cultivators to retire, but unexpectedly, they all fled here, and you still persistently pursue them!”

“You all deserve to be punished!”

Su Ping stretched out his right hand toward the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong’s ultimate technique, Cold Cloud Frost Sky Falling Star, appeared in the sky.

This meteor, containing immense coldness, fell at the speed of light in the center of the merchant fleet.

In an instant, it enveloped those evil cultivators who were either trying to turn their ships around or simply jumping off the deck in an attempt to dive into the water in the exploding cold ice flames.

This caused nearly a hundred cultivators to be annihilated in one strike!

Even the tower ship was affected by the cold air produced by this strike.

The formations etched at the bottom and in the cabin of the tower ship were broken in the blink of an eye.

The sounds of the formation nodes exploding were incessant.

Ah!

Those cultivators maintaining the formations all vomited blood and knelt on the ground.

The old man with closed eyes and a long beard took a few steps back, tilted his head up towards Su Ping, and asked in a trembling voice,

“Taoist friend… why have you done this?”

No one believed this was a mishap by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Only, to everyone’s eyes, that seemingly ordinary white-haired youth who was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator

had suddenly flashed in front of their ship owner and, with one punch, exploded their ship owner into a burst of flames.

Not right!

Beneath the flames, a zombie flew out and gently landed at the stern of the ship.

By appearance, this zombie was almost identical to the old man with the beard.

Its eyes were wide; there were no pupils, but instead, two green fires burned within them.

“Zombie… zombie?”

“Impossible! The ship owner from the Jin Family Ancestor is a zombie?”

“Evil Technique, the Jin Family Ancestor must have cultivated an evil technique!”

Many other family cultivators were astonished, and even their gazes carried unease toward other members of the Jin family.

Most of those members of the Jin family also wore expressions of shock.

A few, perhaps having already guessed that their Ancestor had cultivated an evil technique just to survive, naturally dared not say a word now.

“Flying Blood Zombie Technique?”

“To have cultivated such a technique of the non-righteous path, it seems you do have some talent.”

“But next, you intend to refine a Blood Pill with the blood of tens of thousands, don’t you?”

Su Ping calmly spoke, landing on the deck, his voice carrying a hint of regret,

“Those ordinary people in the cabin, and all these cultivators will be the materials for your Blood Pill, won’t they?”

“No, these alone might not be enough. The peculiar incense fire qi on your clothes earlier, have you colluded with the evil cultivators of some Incense Fire Divine Path?”

“Or, have you already become a disciple of a certain Incense Fire Divine Path?”

The people in the cabin, having heard the words Su Ping intentionally spoke aloud,

even the dimmest among them who had survived thus far now realized just how bad a cultivator could be.

They had not imagined that the previously kind and apparently the only one who saw them as human, Jin Family Ancestor, had such thoughts of using them!

The crowd began to stir.

“Immortal Master, save us!”

Someone knocking their head in supplication immediately sparked a chorus of similar pleas.

The green fire in the zombie’s eyes flared more violently.

“You, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, should not meddle in my affairs!”

“Why must you spoil my good fortune!”

The zombie growled, acknowledging Su Ping’s guess.

“You must realize, you have disrupted a significant affair of my Blood God Path!”

“Had you pretended to be ignorant, my Blood God Path would not have made you an enemy!”

“Now… it’s too late!”

As it spoke, the zombie’s chest split open, revealing a blood-red eye.

But just as it glanced at the white-haired youth,

it suddenly paused.

Seeing the various Evil Exorcism Blessings swirling around the youth,

just by sensing the fluctuation of the blessings, the creature behind the eye knew this was a formidable figure it could not provoke!

Then… the eye closed, retracted back into the chest cavity, and disappeared swiftly.

Even the green fire in the zombie’s eyes momentarily solidified.

“A fake Blood God Eye?”

Su Ping looked at the zombie, the corners of his mouth slightly curving up,

“Blood God Path from the Southern Desolate Divine Path, couldn’t resist coming to the Central Domain too?”

“Being able to perform such a possession technique, there must at least be a Main Priest with the Cultivation of middle Foundation Establishment who came, right?”

“Do you know why I gave you so much time to speak nonsense?”

“It was just to confirm whether you independently learned the technique of the side sect, or had the support of the Divine Path I care about.”

“Now everything is clear.”

As soon as Su Ping finished speaking,

the Jin Family Ancestor turned zombie was already emitting green fire all over his body.

Obviously, after being exposed, the person behind the scenes had decided to let it self-destruct.

However, before the green fire could fully emerge and consume the zombie’s body, a huge semi-transparent Greedy Wolf’s head appeared out of nowhere.

With even greater speed, it swallowed the zombie standing at the stern, completely shocked.

The Greedy Wolf flashed past.

The tower ship subsequently returned to calm.

Su Ping’s divine sense swept over the battlefield once again, taking away all ownerless items.

He then ordered the people on the tower ship to continue piloting the ship home before he simply settled into the room of the ship owner to start examining his possessions…
