From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal
Chapter 317 - 312: Great Battle at the Yellow Springs

Chapter 317: Chapter 312: Great Battle at the Yellow Springs

Faced with the breakout of the Great Demon, traversing the void, crashing towards the sky-covering water column, the Heavenly Dragon and the others originally did not pay it any mind.

After all, Nascent Soul beings are prohibited from entering, and the Demon Clan is a great enemy of the Heavenly River Dao, their downfall in ancient times was related to them.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, as the water waves shimmered, this Fourth Rank Demon Python, who mastered spatial power, actually broke into the relic and completely disappeared.

All Human Clan Cultivators were instantly dumbfounded.

"Gua!!"

Upon seeing this, the Golden Crow Great Demon became increasingly urgent, flapping its wings, with thousands of feathers blooming like golden flame Immortal Swords crisscrossing, also seeking the Heavenly River Inheritance.

Heavenly Dragon True Monarch naturally wouldn’t allow it, actively confronting it, keeping the battlefield above the clouds to avoid affecting too many Human Clan Cultivators.

Several Nascent Soul beings clashed, the weather changed dramatically, and this sea area erupted into an astounding great battle, even more terrifying than before, with slight fluctuations of mana potentially devastating Golden Core cultivators.

With the loss of Human Clan Nascent Soul oversight, those Third Rank Demon Clans now had no one to control them, emerging directly from the sea, covering the sky and earth.

The Human and Demon Clans at this moment went completely mad, with no semblance of order left, each killing red-eyed.

"Breakthrough!"

Li Quanqing spoke, directly using Void Scissors, forcefully carving a bloody path, traversing the void, successfully leaping into the relic.

The two dove into the water column, with mana and runes resonating, waves of water covering their entire bodies.

In an instant, the sky and earth spun, a familiar feeling came, as if standing in a weightless void.

Woosh woosh!

The familiar sound of waves surged into his ears, and he opened his eyes once more, seeing the familiar scenery again, the horizon between sea and sky seeming boundless.

"Sure enough, I’ve come back here..."

Li Quanqing stood up and sat down, strands of seawater swirling around him, as if they were small snakes with spiritual qualities, naturally affinity to water attribute spiritual power.

He looked around, even though he entered here at the same time as Li Kunlun, he was nowhere to be seen now, leaving him alone.

"So, everyone’s test is conducted individually..."

Li Quanqing collected his thoughts, took out the Heavenly River Token, and attempted to speak: "I want to start the second layer of the trial."

Although this Nascent Soul blood sacrifice wasn’t initiated by him, he wanted to try, just in case it worked.

Buzz buzz!

The Heavenly River Token emitted a light hum, soaring into the sky under an invisible force, gathering streams of water, forming a line of text.

[Confirming Nascent Soul blood sacrifice completed, mana bloodline verification passed, do you want to start the second layer inheritance trial?]

It actually works!

Li Quanqing’s eyes lit up with joy, not hesitating anymore, nodding heavily: "Start!"

[Please choose one opponent from below, after defeating or killing the opponent, you will earn a qualification to open the Third Rank Inheritance Treasury once.]

Li Quanqing watched as the water flows continuously transformed, manifesting various texts.

Perhaps it was an illusion, he felt that this time the inheritance rules were much more lively than before, no longer so rigid.

As if he had more choices.

Streams of water ascended to the sky, turning into oval water mirrors, revealing different scenes within each.

Li Quanqing’s gaze swept over them, and all of the beings manifested in these water mirrors were of the Golden Core Perfect Realm.

Most were from the Demon Clan, while there were only a few Human Clan Cultivators, and all were Demon Cultivators with deep cultivation.

Just like when he first entered the relic, whether Demon Clan or Cultivator, they were all in a similar sea space, fighting enemies.

The enemies of the Demon Clan were Golden Core Humans, and the adversaries of Cultivators were Third Rank Great Demons, seemingly deliberately set this way to create a blood battle between Humans and Demons.

[Please choose your opponent from among them.]

"Last time my opponent was the Earth Flame Flood Dragon, with a cultivation level just like mine at Golden Core Middle Stage, this time it’s Golden Core Perfect."

"Testing my ability to fight across ranks, I wonder if I can use the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure, or if like last time I can only use my own mana and divine skills?"

Li Quanqing fell into contemplation; without the ability to use magical treasures, the Demon Clan’s physical bodies were strong and had Lifebound Demon Techniques, with noble bloodlines and generally stronger combat power than same-level Humans.

The most dazzling attribute of Humans was their beyond-belief cultivation speed and powerful creativity, which allowed them to use external aids like pills, arrays, devices, and runes to slay beings of higher ranks.

"Hmm, even that guy entered here..."

Li Quanqing’s gaze paused when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

Sure enough, it was the Yellow Springs Sect Cultivator from before, currently slaughtering a Third Rank Great Demon, his Yellow Springs Power eerie and able to devour life force.

"I’ll choose him then."

After assessing all targets, Li Quanqing made his decision.

This person hidden in the shadows was already a significant threat to him, possibly reporting the Green Sea Inheritance matter to the Yellow Springs Sect at any time.

Now the chance to settle life and death was here, without worrying about the opponent escaping, naturally he couldn’t let the great opportunity slip.

Li Quanqing’s fingertips emitted mana, shattering the other water mirrors, confirming his target.

[Target locked: Yellow Springs Demon Sect Direct Disciple, cultivation at Golden Core Perfect.]

[Detected trial disciple to be holding Green Sea Inheritance, triggering hidden task "Cleanse Traitors," decreasing inheritance trial difficulty.]

[Use all means at your disposal to slay the enemy, automatic victory will be awarded upon one’s demise.]

The Heavenly River Token buzzed, manifesting an especially extensive array of words that left viewers dazzled.

Cleanse Traitors?

Li Quanqing raised an eyebrow, surprisingly finding such a pleasant surprise.

He somewhat guessed the origin of the Yellow Springs Sect, it used to be one of the Heavenly River Dao inheritances, later betraying the sect and falling into the Demon Path, becoming one of the Demon Sect’s ancestral courts.

As the Yellow Springs Sect disciple in the water mirror slew the Third Rank Great Demon, the next moment, water surged, directly engulfing him, making him disappear from the spot.

Li Quanqing gazed tens of miles away; there, water gathered, vaguely forming into a humanoid shape, dressed in yellow robes, with overwhelming demonic qi.

Without hesitation, he directly used the Void Scissors to slice through the sky, turning into a silver light that charged fiercely, aiming straight for the opponent’s abdomen Golden Core!

Clang!!

Unexpectedly, intense black light erupted, a pitch-black Demon Dragon soared out from the opponent’s sleeve, directly knocking the silver-white spirit scissors away.

"Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure?"

Li Quanqing’s gaze sharpened, holding the Void Scissors in hand, completely reining in his previous underestimation.

"So it’s you, the Heavenly River Token... Surely the Green Sea Inheritance."

The Demon Dragon roared, its scale armor bristling with anger, finally transforming into a black Great Halberd, overflowing with demonic light, ringing piercingly.

The dull yellow light faded, revealing the person’s true appearance; astonishingly young, with red lips, white teeth, face like jade, his smile reminiscent of a refined scholar.

He wielded the Demon Dragon Halberd, appearing more like a scholar wielding a weapon, with the entire weapon being much larger than his body.

Were it not for the abundant demonic qi, this person could pass as a Righteous Disciple, his temperament warm and gentle as jade.

"Spying on my Li Family for so long, this is finally our first meeting."

Li Quanqing likewise took out the Fish-Dragon Spear, with seawater roaring behind him, forming an eye of a storm: "State your name."

"I am Ji Heng, the Saint Heir of the Yellow Springs Sect."
