Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation-Chapter 111 - 103: Tang Qiu Yao: Junior Brother Is Getting More and More Capable

Ling Qiyue rose gracefully and led the two into the rear hall.

"...According to the news from our informant over there, the Mu Family’s situation is not looking good!"

After they were seated again, Ling Qiyue said with a grave expression.

Tang Qiu Yao smiled. "It would be best if they were just wiped out like this. It would save us the trouble. Otherwise, we’ll have to go to great lengths to annihilate them in the future!"

Ling Changqing was lost in thought. The underwater volcano chain was already next to the Mu Family’s territory. Now that it had suddenly erupted, it was only expected that the Mu Family would suffer for it.

However, the more distant Bai and Yuan Families, as well as Yu Long Island, would not be significantly affected.

"In that case, I’m afraid our alliance with the Bai Family will be difficult to maintain."

Ling Changqing continued. As long as the Mu Family was gone, the Bai Family’s upper echelons, no longer facing a mortal threat, would most likely start getting arrogant again.

Then there were the Yuan Family and Yu Long Island, which were even farther away. According to the latest intelligence, each of these two powers was presided over by a Pseudo Core master and had no fewer than twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Logically, these two families were considered the most powerful forces in the Feiyu Sea Region. They both should have had a chance to unify the entire sea region.

But because their territories were so close to each other, they were locked in a stalemate, unable to expand outward on a large scale. This was what gave the Mu and Ling Families their opportunity to rise later on.

Now, once the Mu Family was finished, the Ling Family would inevitably have to confront these other powers, whether Ling Qiyue wanted to or not.

In any case, if the Ling Family wanted to seize control of the entire Feiyu Sea Region, they would still have to fight several major battles.

"There’s no need to worry. They’re just a bunch of pushovers. I can crush them with a flip of my hand!"

Ling Qiyue snorted. The Ling Family held more and more bargaining chips; even if the other three powers joined forces, they would be unable to do anything to the Ling Family.

"Senior Sister, are we just going to wait and see what happens? Shouldn’t we do something?"

Ling Changqing said. He didn’t know when this disaster would end, but the Ling Family couldn’t just stand by and watch.

"Of course not. The three of us have to make a trip out and get some rare resources!"

Ling Qiyue smiled, forming a Spirit Technique with a hand gesture. A Magical Projection Light Mirror, several feet in diameter, quietly appeared.

The scene of a vast ocean appeared in the light mirror. Numerous Loose Cultivators were zipping back and forth above the sea’s surface, riding all sorts of crude Flying Swords and Flying Ships.

"They’re... actually fighting over the dead ocean beasts?"

Tang Qiu Yao said in surprise.

The surface of the sea was densely packed with the floating bodies of sea fish and Sea Beasts, as well as some deep-sea creatures that were rarely seen.

Rank One and Two beasts were relatively common, but Third Grade ones were rarer, and Rank Four were almost nonexistent.

After all, a Rank Four beast was equivalent to a Nascent Soul Great Power among human Cultivators. Escaping and surviving a catastrophe of this scale was not a problem for them.

The only exception would be an incredibly unlucky Rank Four beast caught right in the core of the volcanic eruption, which might be severely injured or even killed.

Ling Qiyue said, "This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. Many Rank Two and Three beasts are priceless resources for Cultivators. We must go and grab some for ourselves!"

Many second rank beasts nurtured Demon Cores within their bodies, which were a condensation of their entire life essence. These are key raw materials for Refining Foundation Establishment Pills and Lifespan Extension Pills, so one can imagine how valuable they are.

As for the Demon Cores of Third Grade beasts, they were even more precious. They could be used as the core material for Refining the Crystal Life-taking Pill, which is an indispensable resource for Foundation Establishment Cultivators attempting to break through to Core Formation.

Furthermore, the meat of some deep-sea beasts was exceptionally tender and delicious. They were rare delicacies even sought after by Golden Core Masters and Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, and could be sold for astronomical prices on the market.

Ling Changqing nodded. "In that case, let’s get going!"

A moment later, the three of them appeared in the Outer Sea Region of Longhuan Island, riding a Flying Ship. They flew at high speed toward the site of the volcanic eruption.

Along the way, they would occasionally see large groups of Loose Cultivators rushing onward with fanatical expressions, every one of them seeming as if they were pumped full of adrenaline.

After several hours, Ling Changqing and the others had already traveled thousands of miles, gradually approaching the core of the eruption. The ambient temperature was rising higher and higher.

Overhead, the Celestial Vault was a heart-pounding, dark red. Billowing, thick clouds covered the sky, and as large, hot air vortexes swirled, scorching volcanic ash drifted down.

The seawater below steamed, roiling and churning like a boiling pot. The corpses of dead sea fish and Sea Beasts could be seen occasionally.

Deeper underwater, large groups of surviving Sea Race members were fleeing for their lives with their families in tow, trying to get far away.

Because of the sharp rise in the water temperature, some of the Sea Race who couldn’t hold out collapsed midway. As they swam, they turned into corpses, and were cooked in no time.

’A pot of super seafood soup stock...’

Ling Changqing thought, his gaze fixed on the horizon. It was a blazing orange-red, and countless massive pillars of fire connecting heaven and earth were faintly visible.

As Tang Qiu Yao steered the Flying Ship deeper, more and more beast corpses appeared floating on the sea. They formed continuous, shocking patches on the water.

Large groups of Loose Cultivators were gleefully scavenging on the surface, rummaging through the bodies for Second Rank Sea Beasts. The ones that nurtured Demon Cores were especially sought after, becoming the target of a frantic scramble.

At times, fierce arguments would break out when multiple Loose Cultivators fought over a single beast corpse. It was also a common occurrence for these disputes to escalate into violent clashes.

Ling Changqing personally witnessed a Qi Cultivation 7th Layer Loose Cultivator being surrounded and attacked by seven or eight other Cultivators. He didn’t last more than a few exchanges before being riddled with holes. His body fell into the boiling sea, and his possessions were instantly plundered and divided up.
