From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 163: Jiao Bei’s Breakthrough

A voice filled with sorrow and compassion for the world suddenly came from all directions, vaguely accompanied by the sounds of Buddhist chant and Zen singing, grand and magnificent.

Li Quanqing’s eyes immediately showed vigilance, gripping the Red Dragon Puppet in his sleeve robe, ready to stimulate it to counter any threat.

Suddenly, a skyful of golden light was sprinkled, and within moments, one after another golden lotus blossomed, the petals etched with dense tiny Buddhist scriptures.

A large monk thus stood on the golden lotuses, step by step, arriving from the distant horizon, holding prayer beads in one hand, and carrying a bowl in the other, his bald head shining brightly.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

Li Quanqing’s expression slightly changed; he was already thinking of an escape route, signaling Dragon Flame Eagle through the Slave Beast Seal that they should retreat immediately at the slightest hint of trouble.

"Situ Yu!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Situ Yu immediately showed joy, and with delighted surprise, loudly called out, "Quick! This child has an astonishing talent, he must not be allowed to remain!"

"Monk, my Li Family has already annihilated Zhu Yun Island, how about we each go our separate ways?"

Li Quanqing spoke, remembering the name of this man, having seen it before in the family intelligence.

Situ Qingshi, the Chan Master, a remarkable figure from the Situ Family who started with nothing more than a Low-grade Spiritual Root, later traveled with a merchant caravan across the sea and unknowingly arrived at the West Desert to cultivate the Buddhist Law.

When he returned to his family after a hundred years, he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and was now a late-stage Great Cultivator, ranking among the top three in the entire Situ Family.

"The donor has committed murder, and as a monk, I must seek justice for these wrongfully slain souls!"

Situ Qingshi chanted a Buddhist name, his robes billowing, and suddenly, a layer of blue-green hue rose to the surface of his skin, as indestructible as blue-green stone.

Li Quanqing almost laughed in rage at these words.

Just now talking about showing mercy wherever possible, and now demanding justice - truly a hypocrite!

"Monk, bullying the weak is not a good deed, how about I spar with you for a couple of moves?"

Thunderous laughter rose, accompanied by a purple sword light piercing through the sky, encircled by thunder, elegant as a dragon, with a fierce momentum bearing down.

It was Li Kunlun!

Seeing this, Li Quanqing’s heart immediately gained some confidence.

Without a change in expression, he commanded Dragon Flame Eagle to retreat several hundred meters, quietly protecting the Supreme Elder in front of him.

"Foundation Establishment Late Stage..."

Situ Qingshi’s eyebrows twitched, and his hand, which was twirling prayer beads, paused for a moment, then he stretched out his rough palm: "Donor, please proceed!"

Li Kunlun laughed heartily, steering the thunder and lightning straight into the heavens, disappearing into the deep blue sky, with Situ Qingshi also following swiftly, stepping on the golden lotuses soaring to the sky.

Above, the clouds were torn apart, and purple and gold colors blossomed in succession, Buddhist light and thunder colliding ceaselessly, staining the Heavenly Vault with color, and the mana howled, extraordinarily remarkable.

"So strong..."

Li Quanqing watched, slightly narrowing his eyes.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, nearly standing at the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment realm, could be considered genuinely Great Cultivators.

Against just breakthrough Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators, they could handle five or six without any problem.

Seeing her own backer gone, Situ Yu hurriedly fled backwards, not daring to approach any closer, ready to run at any moment.

"Coward!"

Li Quanqing cursed and even wanted to take advantage of the situation to quickly slay his opponent with the Red Dragon Puppet while he was off guard.

"Quanqing my boy, you’re not hurt, right?"

At this moment, Li Kunli also hurried over in a rush, brimming with fiery light as if he was about to set his hair and eyebrows ablaze.

"I’m doing quite well, I nearly had a chance to slaughter that fellow!"

Li Kunli, while relieved, was also somewhat surprised.

After all, the Situ Family was a legacy of Golden Core, with deep roots, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators they produced were all very powerful, each with an astonishing number of Magical Treasures.

To think, they were actually defeated by a family fisherman who had been cloistered by the fish ponds for years.

He glanced at the Silver Armored Puppet loyally guarding by the side and was somewhat surprised, but out of respect, he refrained from asking in detail.

"How did the eradication of the other two islands go?"

Li Quanqing put away the Silver Bean Puppet and placed the Silver Bean into the Daoist Soldier Tower, recalling the matter at hand.

"Everything went smoothly. The people from the Qian Family even thought about surrendering, but I rejected them and executed them all!"

Li Kunli spoke, his gaze flashing with a hint of thunderous murderous intent.

The Li Family’s action this time was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, to prevent further betrayals against the family, a matter that touches the bottom line.

Absolutely no tolerance!

Li Quanqing nodded, about to say something when a deafening roar of thunder suddenly came from above, faintly accompanied by the sound of an enraged Arhat’s roar.

The two looked up and instantly saw purple lightning brilliantly unleashed, transforming into a sky-reaching sword light that seemed intent on piercing the heavens!

Golden Buddhist light shattered and scattered, swiftly suffering a crushing defeat, as the sky full of golden lotus flowers wilted and broke apart.

Monk Qingshi’s clothes were torn and his chest stained with blood, extremely bedraggled as he flew above the sea, enveloping Situ Yu with his mana and leaving without looking back toward the Purple Blood Sea Domain.

"Such is the Buddhist Law of the West Desert!"

Li Kunlun descended from the sky, standing on the thunderous sword light, his robes fluttering with loud noises, his sharp edge fully exposed, spirited and imposing!

Li Quanqing watched with envy; this was a true peerless sword cultivator, whereas he was merely a man wielding a sword to chop his enemies.

He simply lacked the invincible demeanor and the ’who but me’ defiance of a true sword cultivator!

The battle had ended, and at this time, the mission was also considered perfectly completed.

Whoo-whoo!

As the sun set in the west, the tower ships roared, carrying the Li Family members home, faces filled with unstoppable smiles.

This was nothing less than a ransacking and annihilation, with each individual receiving a considerable sum of Spirit Stones and wealth; indeed, murder and arson brought gold girdles.

The three Spirit Islands were temporarily managed by the Li Family cultivators; after deliberation, they would be granted to other Qi Refining Families under their command, to collect rent.

The sun dipped below the horizon, the sky reddened with the sunset, the sea water lapped noisily, reflecting the fiery clouds on the horizon and taking on a shade of orange-red itself.

Several tower ship Spirit Boats broke through the waters, as if navigating through a vast sea of flames, their large shadows stretching long and trailing into the distance.

By the time they arrived at Baqing Square, the sky had turned completely dark, the night deep and the stars twinkling.

Li Quanqing bid farewell to everyone, first visiting Fish-Dragon Island to release the White Jade Elephant from the Spiritual Beast Bag.

"Mu—"

The White Jade Elephant flapped its fan-sized ears, surveying the unfamiliar woods and issuing a deep, melodious moan.

After examining for a brief moment, it moved toward several lush trees, using its trunk to pick tender leaves and munching on them.

Clearly, the White Jade Elephant was very hungry, eating with relish, paying no mind to the onlookers.

"Aow meow~"

The Cloud-Walking Snow Leopard sauntered over, rubbing its big head against its master, its gray-blue eyes curiously taking in the enormous creature.

The branches rustled and a small mound of soil bulged, and a Golden-Scaled Pangolin emerged, shaking its fur and looking around with curiosity.

Several Vine Wood Apes also clambered through the trees, dressed in Vine Armor, wielding Wooden Spears, hiding in the dark and poking their heads out intermittently, chattering noisily.

"Mu Mu~"

The White Jade Saint Elephant’s temperament was very mild, leisurely eating the leaves, even picking down quite a few wild fruits to share with the spectators among the Spiritual Beasts.

For a moment, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Seeing that the White Jade Elephant had adapted to the environment, Li Quanqing’s mind was at ease. With a step through the void, he returned to the bustling Baoying Fang.

Splish splash!

Moonlight illuminated, and the fish pond was tranquil, countless Green Jade Carps surfaced to worship the moon, cultivating in the moonlight that cascaded like a veil of silver.

Bathed in Taiyin moonlight, Baoqing Pond shone bright and clear as glass.

Li Quanqing swept his Divine Sense over the area, and suddenly below the surface of the water, he discovered several shining white Light Groups.

It was the Bright Moon Shells that had been cultivated for quite some time; nourished by the Second Rank Spirit Vein, they had finally broken through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage, cultivating in the moonlight, purifying the seawater, enjoying peaceful years.

He stepped on the waves and effortlessly lifted a large moon-white shell from the water.

Li Quanqing caressed the shell, which felt cool and delicate. Among the soft and tender flesh, a smooth and round Spiritual Pearl was being nurtured.

The color was crystal clear, flawless like a Crystal, containing the most pure spiritual energy of nature, easier to refine than a Spirit Stone.

He extended his palm and gently touched the light group, and immediately a gentle glow appeared before his eyes, revealing a line of text.

[Harvest: one Qi Refining Middle Stage Bright Moon Shell, reward one gourd of Taiyin Soul Extending Water!]
