Sixth Master gazed at Mo Qingchen's determined face, and suddenly felt his heart filled with heroic spirit. Since the woman could be so carefree, what did he have to fear? He nodded and said, "Alright, let's go try out a battle against those demonic beasts."
"Look, Miss Mo, those sea beasts are nesting there. They're first-class demons, not very strong individually, but extremely numerous. We'll have a hard time getting through there. Their bodies are about the same color as the dark reefs, and only when they attack will they spit out red tongues. Miss Mo, you must remember that their tongues have a special attractive force - our flying devices won't work there, and if their tongues touch your skin, it'll be very hard to shake off. The smell left behind will also attract countless sea beasts to surround us."
"What's that sea creature called?" Mo Qing asked seriously after listening.
"The Sixth Prince said: 'Because of their shape and appearance, which somewhat resembles that of a frog, we refer to them as the Sun-Eating Frog Beast. They are rare fire-attributed yao beasts in our region.'"
"What's the weakness?" Mo Qingchen asked again.
Sixth Master hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's the nose, but theirs are very small and agile, making them hard to attack. Generally, it's just a straightforward kill, anyway, they're not high-level."
Mo Qing dust nodded calmly and didn't make another sound.
The two tidied up and flew towards the dark reef, and when they arrived, Mo Qingchen indeed felt the flying boat under his feet sink down.
Before the flying boat fell, Liu Gongzi had already raised his hand and retrieved it, and the two of them landed on the stone together.
Mo Qingdun felt a soft sensation coming from the soles of her feet, and suddenly her scalp felt numb. She quickly jumped up and found that a toad-like beast as big as a dustpan had blended in with its surroundings. If it hadn't been stepped on and its belly wasn't bulging in and out in anger, she wouldn't have discovered it at all.
The toad was originally basking in the sun with its belly up, when suddenly disaster struck from the sky and it was almost trampled to death by a monk. In an instant, its bright red tongue darted out towards the man.
Mo Qing saw clearly that the tongue of the Food Yang Frog Beast was covered with reverse thorns, and at the same time it spat out a ball of fire as it swept towards her.
Mo Qingchen quickly retreated backwards and drew out a brick to slap it heavily.
Mo Qingchen was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the power and spiritual energy brought by the Brick of Heaven's Will were not something that a first-level demonic beast in the Qi Refining stage could withstand. With a loud splashing sound, the Shui Yang Frog Beast was slapped into a pile of mud. At the same time, a ball of fire exploded from its body, forming countless sparks flying in all directions.
The spark splashed out, triggering countless Yang frogs around them. They all puffed up their bellies and croaked, sticking out their tongues to attack Mo Qingchen.
Poor Mo Qing didn't even have time to pick up the bricks and tiles, and she had already started slapping them down again. Later on, she no longer needed to look carefully, as one slap of a brick would turn one or two Food Sun Frogs into a puddle of yellow-green liquid mud. She also had to dodge the fireballs that burst open from them, and at the same time, pay attention not to step on the Food Sun Frogs, making her somewhat flustered for a moment.
"Mo'niang, don't be infatuated with battle, move forward!" Liu Gongzi shouted loudly.
Mo Qingchen glanced over and found that he wasn't doing much better, waving a large fish fork to stab the Food Yang Frog Beast, with one of its tongues wrapped around his leg, swinging back and forth as he moved, looking both disgusting and comical.
Looking at the ground where there was nowhere to step, Mo Qingchen pursed his lips and activated his spiritual power, casting Floating Light Flash, his body lightly leaping out four or five zhang away.
While slapping the approaching Food Yang Beast to death with a board brick, he displayed his Floating Light and Shadow technique, flying forward at high speed. Before long, he had left Sixth Young Master far behind.
On this side, Mo Qingchen ran extremely fast, and the food Yang frogs that were stimulated by her all rushed towards Liu Gongzi. Liu Gongzi, who already had several large green frogs hanging from his arms and legs, let out a bitter laugh, pulled out an explosive flame talisman and threw it
Mo Qingchen only heard a loud crash and turned his head to see that the Sixth Young Master had cleared out a large area, and there was even a smell of roasted frogs wafting over.
Sixth Master's face turned black as he executed the Wind Control Technique, dashing forward wildly. When he really couldn't shake them off, he threw out another Exploding Flame Talisman to clear a path.
It took them a whole hour before they finally escaped from the reef group.
"True... it's truly exhilarating!" The Sixth Prince didn't even have the energy to steer the flying boat, letting the small boat drift on the surface of the sea, and he lay down on the boat with his limbs splayed out in all directions, no longer having the elegant demeanor of a noble young master.
Mo Qingchen looked at him like this and found it more pleasing to the eye. He also sighed: "Really... it's really disgusting."
After finishing speaking, they looked at each other and burst out laughing together.
The two exhausted people slowed down for a moment, then sat up to meditate and regulate their breath. After the spiritual energy in their bodies recovered, they once again controlled the small boat, flying away from the sea surface and moving forward.
Sixth Master lowered his head to look at the mess on his body, then glanced at Mo Qingchen's clothes and said: "Miss Mo, bear with it for a moment, after we fly over that indicator island, we'll find a place to change and wash up."
Mo Qingchen glanced at himself casually and said, "It doesn't matter, let's focus on the main issue."
The Sixth Prince relaxed a bit, putting more spiritual energy into the flying boat, urging it to rush forward.
After flying over the sea for more than three hours, the two of them stared wide-eyed and searched for indications of an island, but they were getting dizzy when they finally saw a high reef floating above the surface of the water.
"Mo'niang has arrived!" The Sixth Master's face lit up with joy, and he urged the flying boat to go even faster.
Before long, the two of them arrived there. Mo Qingchen found that the island was extremely small and looked more like a tall indicator tower with a thick and large tree growing on top, and only one fruit grew on the tree.
Sixth Master jumped off the flying boat and landed on the island, taking a few steps to climb to the highest point, standing in front of a large tree looking around, before turning back and smiling at Mo Qingchen: "Miss Mo, let's go."
Saying that, he adjusted the angle of the spaceship and drove it away.
Mo Qingchen's eyes widened in surprise: "Sixth Master, how does this island indicate direction?"
"See that tree over there? The fruit on it changes color to indicate direction."
"If someone had come before, couldn't they have left directions?" Mo Qingchen asked, unable to hold back her curiosity, although she understood that Liu Gongzi must have had a reason for doing so.
The Sixth Prince smiled and shook his head: "The sea area where the soul-hooking fish demon is located is not fixed, but changes once a year. To find the exact direction, this indicator island is indispensable. This was discovered by our royal family's ancestor from the Yuan period thousands of years ago. It is said that this indicator island has an array method set up by him personally, which is why it can guide us, the later generations in the foundation-building period, to go and find opportunities."
Mo Qing sighed in admiration at the mysterious and wonderful creation, and the sea domain was able to transform the universe in a way that was beyond human comprehension. The various methods of those powerful Yuan Ying cultivators were even more enviable, and one couldn't help but exclaim: "It's said that Yuan Ying cultivators have the ability to overturn the seas and oceans, if there's an opportunity to witness it, I'm sure there will be gains."
"Hasn't Mo'niang seen it?" Liu Gongzi asked.
Mo Qingchen was taken aback: "What, should I have seen it before?"
The Sixth Young Master chuckled: "Our royal family hasn't produced a Yuan Ying period cultivator in ages, the highest we have now is only the late stage of Jie Dan. We've been living here for generations, so it's natural that we wouldn't get to see one. But Mo young lady comes from a famous sect, her experiences must be much broader than ours."
Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "Sixth Master, how did you determine that my master came from a famous family?"
The sixth young master smiled but did not speak.
The two fought side by side until now, and their relationship had become much closer. Mo Qingchen said, "In our place, Yuan Ying cultivators aren't as common as Sixth Young Master imagines, like they're readily available everywhere."
Sixth Master awkwardly said: "Miss Mo, I have never...never treated a Yuan Ying period cultivator as a mere vegetable..."
"Hehe, in short, even for some large sects, Nascent Soul cultivators rarely appear in front of people unless there's a major event. Otherwise, it's just like us Foundation Building cultivators wanting to see our Nascent Soul seniors - we can only rely on luck." Mo Qingchen explained.
From Mo Qingchen's words, Liu Gongzi heard that there were indeed Yuan Ying period cultivators in her sect, and he couldn't help but feel interested: "I wonder what kind of things are considered major events on your side?"
Mo Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "The most common one should be that there is a disciple of the Golden Elixir in the sect who has achieved success, and a grand ceremony will be held to celebrate. If the seniors of the Yuan Ying period in the sect are not closed or traveling outside, they will participate in the celebration."
"The Grand Ceremony of Condensing Dan on your side must be very lively, right?"
Mo Qingchen pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I've never seen the Danlian Grand Ceremony since I entered the sect. However, I've heard that during the Danlian Grand Ceremony, all seniors from the Yuanying period to junior disciples in the Lianqi period will go to congratulate, it's definitely lively."
In his heart, he secretly thought that the latest cultivator of the Jade Light Sect to condense a dan was actually his own master. In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed, and it was said that several senior brothers and sisters who had reached the Great Circle of Foundation Building had failed in their attempts to condense a dan. Now, the popular candidate for condensing a dan was none other than Ye, the Heaven's Proud Son.
Mo Qingchen couldn't help but feel a little melancholic as he thought of these things, and Liu Gongzi was even more moved to tears. For a moment, the two of them were speechless, sitting silently in the boat as it flew through the air, with only the whistling sea wind and the sound of waves crashing against their ears.
"Let's rest here for a while, Mo Niang." After traveling for some time, the sky completely darkened, and Liu Gongzi slowly landed the flying boat on an island.
From the air, it can be seen that the island is very small and has no spiritual energy at all. The trees are sparse and scattered, and it doesn't seem like there would be any high-level demon beasts present. It's indeed a suitable place to rest.
The two of them arrived on the island and used their divine consciousness to search the entire island, but they didn't find anything out of place. Sixth Master then borrowed some trees to set up two hammocks.
He nodded and found a secluded place to clean up the dirt on his body, then turned back to Mo Qingchen and said: "Miss Mo, you should also go and tidy up."
Mo Qingchen nodded, found a place to cast water-based spells to clean his body, and used another spell to dry his clothes. Just as he was about to return, his divine sense suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy fluctuations, and there were cultivators rushing towards their direction!
