Chapter 200 Silver Shark Island
Welcome to the fantastical world of Xianxia novels! The entrance is here:
Luo Ming breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Gold-Eating Insects and the Profound Yuan Pearl, turned to look at the sea below, and with a thought, summoned back the four spirit beasts.
The four spirit beasts fought against a Blood Demon avatar at the peak of the Core Formation realm, possessing some Nascent Soul abilities. They only consumed some of their mana and were not seriously injured, which made him very gratified. He felt that his years of nurturing had not been in vain and that the beasts were now able to withstand the pressure for him.
The little ones were full of energy and excitedly surrounded Luo Ming, occasionally letting out a shout as if they were asking for credit.
Luo Ming smiled and reassured them, then put the little guys into his spirit beast bag, summoned the Wind-Escape Shuttle, transformed into a streak of green light, and continued to escape in a different direction.
At this moment, the voice of Tianjing Sanren rang in Luo Ming's mind, tinged with a hint of amazement:
"This Gold-Eating Insect truly lives up to its reputation as a ferocious insect from ancient times. It even easily devoured this Blood Demon Incarnation. If it were to control a large enough number at once, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would likely have no choice but to flee."
He had just clearly seen that the Blood Demon incarnation was devoured by tens of thousands of Gold-Eating Insects in a short time, and its body was exceptionally tough, making it almost impossible to kill by ordinary means.
Luo Ming nodded slightly. The ferocity of the Gold-Eating Insects has only slowly become apparent now, and this is only a semi-mature stage. Once they are all cultivated to maturity, there will be virtually nothing in the human realm that can stop them from devouring.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the Mother of the Spirits, who devoured all the spiritual energy of an entire realm, ultimately causing the realm to collapse.
At this moment, thousands of miles away, the Black Wind Monster is engaged in a fierce battle with the Ninth Elder.
Suddenly, he shuddered, a flash of intense pain and rage crossing his eyes—he was connected to the Blood Demon's avatar in body and mind, and the destruction of the avatar had caused him considerable backlash.
"You brat! How dare you destroy my avatar!"
Enraged, the Black Wind Old Monster unleashed a torrent of demonic energy, launching a frenzied attack on the Ninth Elder, forcing him back.
After saying that, he stopped arguing with the Ninth Elder, and with a flicker of his figure, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light, chasing after Luo Ming in the direction he had fled.
Seeing this, the Ninth Elder frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally moved and transformed into a streak of starlight, following closely behind. His curiosity about Luo Ming was growing stronger, and he could not let Luo Ming fall into the hands of the Black Wind Monster no matter what.
Here, Luo Ming had only been flying for a short while when a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.
"The most dangerous place might be the safest. They'd never guess I dared to go back!" A glint flashed in Luo Ming's eyes. The Black Wind Monster and that Ninth Elder must have thought he would flee for his life.
With his ability to conceal his true nature through the Concealing Yuan Technique, as long as he doesn't fight with anyone, even those three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators probably wouldn't recognize him.
With that thought in mind, Luo Ming no longer hesitated. He summoned the Xuan Turtle, sat on it, and sank into the depths of the sea. After making a turn, he fled towards Red Sand Island.
A moment later, at the spot where Luo Ming killed the Blood Demon's avatar, a streak of crimson light stopped, its expression grim as it carefully surveyed the surroundings with its divine sense.
"There are actually the auras of five different demonic beasts, one of which seems to be some kind of metal-attribute spirit insect. This Wang Chan is only at the early stage of Core Formation, how can he cultivate so many powerful spirit beasts?"
Just as the Black Wind Old Monster was puzzled and searching for clues left by Luo Ming, Luo Ming had already disguised himself as an ordinary-looking late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and calmly arrived at the Red Sand Island teleportation array.
With a flash of yellow light, Luo Ming's figure slowly disappeared, but his other name, Wang Chan, left a deep impression on the minds of those Nascent Soul cultivators.
Whether it was the demonic cultivators, the star palace cultivators, or even the Liu family, they were all secretly searching for Luo Ming's whereabouts, but they had found nothing.
Gradually, as other things happened one after another, Luo Ming's matter was gradually forgotten.
The most eye-catching news came from an unknown source: the two Star Palace Saints were unable to leave the Star Palace because they were cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light. This caused a great shock among the many forces under the Star Palace's jurisdiction, and undercurrents began to surge.
Silver Shark Island, as one of the most important outposts of the Star Palace in the outer sea, is far larger and more prosperous than ordinary islands in the outer sea.
The island is shaped like a giant silver shark coiled in the raging waves. The main island is rugged and mostly composed of a silvery-gray rock that gleams silver in the sunlight.
Dozens of satellite islands of varying sizes are scattered around the central Silver Shark Island, like stars surrounding the moon.
Above the island, a faint, pale silver light curtain that seems to connect the sky and the sea can be seen slowly flowing year-round. This is a partial manifestation of the power of the "Small Heavenly Cycle Star Array" that the Star Palace has set up at great expense. It can not only resist the violent winds and beast tides that are common in the outer sea, but also has a strong monitoring power over the island and the surrounding waters.
At the summit of the island's highest peak, "Star Gazing Cliff," stands a majestic silver palace, the residence of the Star Palace Elders. A Nascent Soul stage elder is stationed there year-round, deterring the demons and treacherous individuals from the outer seas. He is also responsible for coordinating the exploration of resources in the outer seas, the extermination of high-level demonic beasts, and communication with the inner seas.
For this reason, Silver Shark Island became the most important transit point and supply point for cultivators from the inner sea to go to the outer sea to hunt demons, explore, and trade.
The four major merchant alliances have established large-scale shops and strongholds here, and have stationed many Core Formation stage experts to oversee the area. This makes the island's markets bustling with people all year round. Various monster materials, rare minerals, spiritual herbs and exotic flowers obtained from battles in the outer seas gather and are traded here, making it as prosperous as some large islands in the inner seas.
"Is this Silver Shark Island? The spiritual energy is so rich. No wonder it's an island with a large spiritual vein."
When Luo Ming stepped out through the teleportation array in the center of the island, his first impression was of the rich spiritual energy of the place.
At this moment, he was using the "Gathering Yuan Technique" to suppress his own mana fluctuations and disguise them as being at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Combined with his deliberately adjusted, slightly weathered and tired middle-aged face, he blended in seamlessly into the crowd of cultivators coming and going.
Half a month ago, after returning to Tianxing City from Red Sand Island, he rested for a while and then, after some consideration, finally came to Silver Shark Island to hunt monsters.
The reason for coming here, besides the fact that this is an important stronghold of the Star Palace in the outer sea and has abundant monster resources, is that there is a huge deserted island at the northernmost part of this island, which hides a high-level spirit stone mine, and even has the possibility of mining top-grade spirit stones.
This is the future Biling Island. However, because the spirit stone mine has not yet been discovered, it is just an unnamed deserted island, where some high-level demonic beasts have been entrenched for many years.
