Chapter 364: 275 Heavenly Beast Island Wang He_1

Three Immortals Island, the main sanctuary of the Three Immortals Sect.

A manor filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, featuring rockeries in the garden and a long waterwheel corridor.

Qin Biao and a voluptuous woman in a black dress sat beside a bluish stone table, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.

From the attire of the woman in black, it was clear she came from the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"Madam Shen, rest assured, Junior Brother Sun and the other two have set off in search of the fourth-grade Thunder Manta. Besides, I have also dispatched people to various marketplaces, offering a high price for the hide of a fourth-grade Thunder Manta," Qin Biao said slowly.

The higher-ups of the Heavenly Ghost Sect had requested the Three Immortals Sect to search for the hide of a fourth-grade Thunder Manta and promised a generous reward.

The woman in black nodded and said, "When you handle affairs, we are at ease. We too are searching for the fourth-grade Thunder Manta. There is strength in numbers, which is why we asked you to dispatch people in search as well."

Shen Yue, at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Qin Biao’s gaze shifted, and he asked curiously, "Madam Shen, are you searching for a fourth-grade Absorbing Thunder Pearl or a fourth-grade Leading Thunder Pearl?"

"Having either of those would be better, but the main focus is on the fourth-grade Thunder Manta’s hide," Shen Yue explained.

Qin Biao wanted to say more, but a middle-statured elder in blue robes flew in frantically.

"Junior Brother Sun, weren’t you off searching for the fourth-grade Thunder Manta? What happened?" Qin Biao asked, puzzled.

The elder in blue robes didn’t conceal the truth and recounted the events from beginning to end.

"If it were not for the Overturning Sea Shark using the Water Escape Technique to carry me away, I would likely have perished as well," the elder in blue robes said with a touch of relief.

"Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art! Millennium Demon Attracting Grass! Spiritual Treasure!" Shen Yue’s face showed interest.

"That Demon Attracting Grass is definitely more than a millennium old, probably close to two thousand years. My Spirit Beast, the Overturning Sea Shark, is at the early stage of the fourth-grade, and even it couldn’t withstand the fragrance emitted by the Demon Attracting Grass," the elder in blue robes added.

Sun Hai, at the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"This person might be a descendant of the Five Dragon Sect. Having cultivated the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art to the tenth layer, he can transform into a Flood Dragon to attack enemies. Without a Spiritual Treasure at hand, naturally, you were no match for him. First, draw this person’s likeness and dispatch someone to search in secret. Upon news, do not act rashly; immediately notify us at the Heavenly Ghost Sect," Shen Yue instructed sternly.

"Yes, Madam Shen," agreed Qin Biao and Sun Hai.

"With millennium-old Demon Attracting Grass, hunting fourth-grade Monster Beasts would be much easier," Qin Biao said enviously.

"That’s the reasoning, but without a Spiritual Treasure at hand, you are no match for this man. It’s very fortunate that Taoist Friend Sun managed to escape. If it weren’t for the fourth-grade Overturning Sea Shark, Taoist Friend Sun would also have met with disaster," analyzed Shen Yue.

After some casual chatting, Shen Yue took her leave.

······

Amidst the bustling crowds on the streets of the Star Moon Marketplace,

a red Escape Light appeared in the distant sky and with a flicker, it halted, revealing the figure of a young man in a red garment—it was Shen Long in disguise.

Shen Long entered the Star Moon Marketplace and strolled around.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he arrived at the entrance of a small shop with a signboard that read "Chen’s Grocery Shop" in big characters. The owner was a rosy-cheeked elder in green robes with the cultivation of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

He had inquired with Song He, and Chen’s Grocery Shop was a black market specializing in the purchase of not-to-be-seen goods.

Shen Long intended to sell off some items from the two Nascent Soul Cultivators he had bested, in exchange for Spirit Stones.

He walked in, and the elder in green robes quickly approached him and said respectfully, "Senior graces our humble shop. May I know what I can help Senior with?"

"I have some items to sell. I’ve heard this place buys things," Shen Long said.

"Please follow this Junior, Senior," the elder in green robes gestured invitingly and led Shen Long towards the back courtyard.

Half an hour later, Shen Long left Chen’s Grocery Shop.

He had sold some items and acquired two million Spirit Stones in exchange.

Shen Long continued wandering along the street and, after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he arrived at a square where Loose Cultivators set up their stalls, boasting numerous wares.

He toured the square but found nothing of interest. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Mu Weiwei walking towards him.

With his current disguised appearance, Mu Weiwei could not recognize him.

Shen Long left the square and rented a small courtyard with blue tiles to stay in.

He entered the Practice Room and began meditating and regulating his breath.

As evening fell, the marketplace was ablaze with lights, and the streets swarmed with people.

Shen Long left the Practice Room, reverted to his true appearance, and strode out.

When he arrived at the square where Loose Cultivators had set up their stalls, he quickly found Mu Weiwei.

"Senior Shen, long time no see. I have very important news to report to you. May I have a moment to speak privately?" Mu Weiwei said politely.

Shen Long nodded and led Mu Weiwei to a tea house, choosing a private room.

"Senior Shen, I have discovered the trace of a fourth-grade Flood Dragon. This is where I found it," Mu Weiwei said as she took out an ocean chart and handed it to Shen Long.

"A fourth-grade Flood Dragon!" Shen Long accepted the ocean chart and inquired about the details of the discovery.

Mu Weiwei gave an honest answer, she was resting on a deserted island when she discovered a fourth-order Flood Dragon entangled in battle with a fourth-order Monster Bird.

The Monster Bird had a very fast flying speed, and the Flood Dragon pursued it relentlessly. Mu Weiwei waited for them to leave before she departed.

"I understand, here are some Gold Ganoderma Pills for you," Shen Long said.

Shen Long took out a blue porcelain bottle and handed it to Mu Weiwei.

"Thank you, Senior Shen."

Mu Weiwei thanked him and took the blue porcelain bottle.

After some small talk, Shen Long said his goodbyes.

After leaving the marketplace, Shen Long turned into a red escape light and soared into the sky.

Seven days later, Shen Long appeared over a red sea area where there were numerous red sea stars. From high above, the entire sea area appeared red.

Shen Long took out an ocean chart and examined it carefully.

According to the information provided by Mu Weiwei, this was where she encountered that fourth-order Flood Dragon. It was still unclear where its lair was.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes shone with a piercing golden light as it began to search.

Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada flew forward at a leisurely pace, passing many deserted islands along the way.

Half a day later, Shen Long was above a deserted island spanning over a hundred miles, densely vegetated.

Shen Long landed in a green bamboo forest, where a blue dragon scale lay scattered on the ground, with several green feathers not far away.

He released the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and had it memorize the scent of the blue dragon scales and green feathers.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox sniffed a few times, then circled around Shen Long.

Shen Long deployed the Seacrossing Boat, stepped aboard, followed closely by the Hundred Eyes Cicada and the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox.

With a pinch of a spell, the Seacrossing Boat emitted a dazzling blue light and flew into the sky.

Half a month later, the Seacrossing Boat appeared over a sapphire blue sea area.

Shen Long’s eyebrows knit slightly, along the way, he had picked up some dragon scales and feathers and had seen signs of battles on some deserted islands. However, he could not find that fourth-order Flood Dragon.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox sniffed a few times, circling around Shen Long, the scent of the fourth-order Flood Dragon and the fourth-order Monster Bird vanished from here.

"It seems the fourth-order Flood Dragon was victorious," Shen Long surmised.

The fourth-order Flood Dragon ate the fourth-order Monster Bird and escaped into the sea. The sea water formed a barrier, and the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox couldn’t continue the track.

He stowed the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox into the spirit beast bag and with a pinch of a spell, the Seacrossing Boat slowly descended onto a deserted island about a hundred miles in size, with sparse vegetation, higher terrain in the south than in the north, and a huge lake in the center of the landscape.

Shen Long took out Formation Flags and an Array Plate to set up a formation, intending to hunt Monster Beasts here.

After setting up the formation, Shen Long changed his appearance and took out a Magic Artifact in the form of a flowerpot, which contained the Demon Attracting Grass.

He placed the flowerpot Magic Artifact in the center of the formation, took out a white Banner Flag, and with a gentle flick, the flag produced a large amount of white mist, concealing the flowerpot Magic Artifact.

Shen Long, along with the Hundred Eyes Cicada, hid underground and quietly waited.

Less than half an hour had passed when a cacophony of bird cries echoed from the sky, as a flock of huge black vultures appeared in the air. They were all third-tier creatures, and after circling in the sky for a while, they dived down, heading straight for the Demon Attracting Grass.

As they got within thirty feet of the Demon Attracting Grass, green vines as thick as an adult’s arm burst forth from the ground, lunging towards the black vultures.

Just as they were about to evade, a piercing shrill scream rang out, as if a heavy hammer had struck their heads.

The black vultures immediately felt dizzy and disoriented, reacting half a beat too slow, and were entangled by the green vines.

A barrage of golden arrows flew at them, piercing through their bodies one after another, killing the entire flock of black vultures.

Shen Long emerged from beneath the ground and released the Ghost Dove.

The three heads of the Ghost Dove each emitted a blue aurora, enveloping the bodies of the black vultures, extracting their spirit souls, and swallowing them down.

Shen Long collected the corpses of the black vultures, put the Ghost Dove back into the Spirit Beast bag, and continued to stay hidden.

Over the next two days, many more third-tier Monster Beasts were lured to the deserted island by the smell of the Demon Attracting Grass, and all were eradicated by the Tree Person, the Iron Tail Scorpion, and the Gold-Winged Fire Ants.

Two days later, the sea water churned and surged, and a huge blue whale surfaced, its body covered in fresh blood with numerous wounds visible.

A gust of wind blew by, and a Red Falcon with wings spanning over thirty feet appeared in the sky.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Red Falcon let loose hundreds of giant fireballs, hurling them towards the blue whale.

The blue whale let out a deep roar and ejected a blue sonic wave to meet the onslaught.

The blue sonic wave collided with the giant fireballs, which burst like bubbles and disappeared without a trace.

A thunderous boom resonated, as a silver lightning pillar four yards in diameter split the sky, striking precisely atop the blue whale, its body overwhelmed by silver lightning.

The sea parted in two, and a beam of blue light shot up to the heavens, cutting the blue whale in half.

The waves rolled and a huge wave rose, upon which stood a burly young man in blue robes and a plump woman in a green dress, riding atop the wave.

The Red Falcon emitted a sharp, ear-piercing cry and flew towards the deserted island.

The woman in the green dress frowned slightly and whistled, causing the Red Falcon to stop in its tracks and circle continuously in the air.

"May I ask which Taoist friend is here? Please come out and show yourself," said the young man in blue robes, cupping his fists and staring intently at the deserted island.

Shen Long revealed himself, frowning slightly.

He had not expected to draw two Nascent Soul Cultivators this time, the young man in blue robes being at the Middle Stage and the woman in green dress at the Early Stage. Judging from the patterns on their clothes, they were clearly from the Heavenly Beast Island.

Heavenly Beast Island is one of the eight major powers in the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm, renowned for insect repelling and beast taming, a place teeming with experts.

"My name is Wang He from Heavenly Beast Island, and this is my wife, Qin Yue. May I ask how to address you, friend?" the young man in blue robes said, still cupping his fists.

"My last name is Long. May I know what guidance you have for me?" said Shen Long, his tone level.

"Friend, are you using the Demon Attracting Grass to kill Monster Beasts?" Wang He asked.
