Chapter 148 - 148: Demon Subduing Island
With the assistance of the Soul Nurturing Pearl, even without cultivating any Divine Soul cultivation technique, his Divine Sense could rapidly grow; this was the power of what was known as the Myriad Year Divine Wood.
Following this, Fang Hong also brought the soul severing sword into his body.
Within his dantian space, his Nascent Soul sat cross-legged, with the Heavenly Thunder Needle, fire cloud gourd, Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, and soul severing sword suspended beside it.
These four treasures circled each other, being refined day and night by Fang Hong, gradually merging into one.
With the spiritual artifact refined, Fang Hong took out two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, held them in his hands, and began to close his eyes to recover his magical power.
Now that his cultivation had advanced, his spells were perfected, and his spiritual artifacts were forged, once he recovered his magical power, it would be time to perform the true sea sacrifice.
Five days later, Fang Hong left the small island Immortal Cave with Little Rainbow, soared into the sky, transforming into a red streak of light, and headed straight for White Mist Island.
Fang Hong flew eastward for a full day, and the outline of White Mist Island once again appeared in his sight.
It was still as quiet and desolate as usual, with clouds and mist swirling around the island.
The Old man who used to sell maps on the island was now nowhere to be seen, presumably having moved to another small island to continue his map business.
Fang Hong's gaze swept around, not lingering, and walked straight towards the Teleportation Hall.
Inside the hall, it was also empty and silent, appearing somewhat desolate.
In a corner of the hall sat a Four Seas Sect Elder dressed in blue, with a composed expression and an ordinary aura, at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"I want to go to Demon Subduing Island; give me a Teleportation talisman," Fang Hong said to the blue-robed Elder in a calm tone.
The blue-robed Elder looked up at these words, his gaze sweeping over Fang Hong, but he could not discern Fang Hong's specific cultivation realm.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that Fang Hong's tone seemed to be commanding him, which made a hint of displeasure rise in his heart.
Just as the blue-robed Elder was about to speak, he saw Fang Hong casually take out a gleaming golden token from his storage bag and calmly hand it over.
The blue-robed Elder's gaze swept over the token, and his face instantly changed dramatically; he practically sprang up from the ground.
He quickly bent over and bowed respectfully, saying, "So it is the Guest Elder. This subordinate's eyes were dim, and I failed to recognize your identity; I hope you will forgive me."
"No matter," Fang Hong smiled faintly, putting away the golden token, "There should still be Teleportation talismans for Demon Subduing Island, right?"
"Yes, yes." the blue-robed Elder responded repeatedly, not daring to be negligent, and hurriedly took out a golden advanced talisman from his storage bag, presenting it with both hands, his attitude extremely respectful.
Fang Hong took the talisman, lightly patted it on his body, and the talisman light flashed, disappearing into his body.
He then walked to a stone platform of the teleportation array and stood still, his movements calm and composed.
Seeing this, the blue-robed Elder did not dare to delay, and quickly took out a black token, forming hand seals; the teleportation array platform immediately glowed brightly, and a pillar of light rose, enveloping Fang Hong.
A moment later, the teleportation array light receded, and Fang Hong's figure completely vanished.
After the teleportation array subsided, the blue-robed Elder quietly breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself.
"What was the cultivation realm of that Guest Elder just now? I couldn't sense it at all."
He shook his head, sat back down, and resumed his duties.
The teleportation process was smooth, and in a moment, Fang Hong had appeared in the Teleportation Hall of Demon Subduing Island.
The hall on Demon Subduing Island was noticeably more spacious and grand than that of White Mist Island, with several teleportation array platforms arranged inside, surrounded by talisman light and spiritual energy.
As soon as Fang Hong landed, several streaks of light flashed from different array platforms, and many cultivators arrived one after another, making it much livelier than White Mist Island.
In a corner of the hall, a Four Seas Sect Elder was also sitting there, head down, handling affairs, paying little attention to the newly arrived cultivators.
Fang Hong also paid no mind and walked straight out of the Teleportation Hall.
Upon exiting the hall, Fang Hong saw a small town, quite large in scale, with stone houses clustered together, neat roads, and several tall buildings in the distance.
Demon Subduing Island, always known as the most dangerous island in the Outer Sea, should not, in theory, have such a large human settlement.
But after Fang Hong thought about it, he didn't find it strange.
While Demon Subduing Island was dangerous, not all demonic beasts were Level 8 Great Demonic Beasts; as long as one did not venture too deep, they generally would not encounter Great demonic beasts.
Moreover, Demon Subduing Island was indeed the Outer Sea's richest area for demonic beast resources, which attracted many daring cultivators to come here to kill demonic beasts.
Over time, this cultivator town was formed.
Fang Hong did not linger in the town; he leaped up, soaring into the sky, and flew directly away from Demon Subduing Island.
His goal for this trip was very clear: to hunt those high-level Great demonic beasts, starting with that Level 8 Golden-winged Bird.
The Golden-winged Bird had fiercely pursued him in the Dragon Palace last time, and Fang Hong had not forgotten that grudge.
Following the Golden Armor Crab's memory, he quickly flew towards the direction of that Golden-winged Bird's nest.
The sea area around Demon Subduing Island was vast and boundless, with the sea and sky merging into one, and no one knew how many tens of thousands of miles it stretched.
In the Golden Armor Crab's memory, each Great demonic beast had its own territory.
Generally speaking, each Great demonic beast occupied tens of thousands of miles of sea, and these Great demonic beasts had extremely strong territorial awareness, usually not disturbing each other, unless they were close friends.
Caw. Caw. Caw.
Caw. Caw.
As Fang Hong was flying, a sharp, piercing cry suddenly came from afar.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw strong winds howling in the sky, a group of familiar black shadows coming through the clouds; it was his "old friends" he had encountered in the Outer Sea, a flock of Storm Birds.
This group of Storm Birds was not weak, each one at Level 6, a total of fifteen of them; if an ordinary Late stage of Golden Core cultivator encountered them, they would probably be in big trouble.
But unfortunately, in front of the current Fang Hong, they were just a group of ants.
Fang Hong hovered in mid-air, one hand behind his back, his aura not revealed, quietly waiting for the flock of Storm Birds to pounce.
Soon, the flock of Storm Birds had rushed before him, their sharp claws gleaming with cold light, their aura aggressive.
Just then, Fang Hong flicked his fingertip, and a red light flashed around his body, spreading like a wave of fire.
In less than a breath, this aggressive flock of Storm Birds instantly rolled their eyes back, turning into corpses, suspended in the air.
Fang Hong lightly hooked his finger, sucking them into his demon gourd, and refined them all into spirit pills.
After dealing with these small ants, Fang Hong continued to fly westward.
After flying for about several thousand miles, Fang Hong slowly descended onto a secluded small barren island.
This island was only six or seven miles long and wide, consisting entirely of deserts and barren mountains, with thin spiritual energy; if a temporary foothold were to be established here, it would be a good choice.
Fang Hong released his powerful Divine Sense, sweeping across the entire small island, and after confirming there were no issues, he landed in front of an inconspicuous barren mountain.
Fang Hong took out his mountain-splitting drill and casually opened up a temporary Immortal Cave.
