Cultivating To Immortality

When Little Rainbow saw Fang Hong emerge from seclusion, she immediately bounced over, circling him joyfully with her tail held high, showing extreme affection.

Seeing this, Fang Hong's lips curved into a smile, and he reached out to stroke her fluffy little head.

After refining the five precious Sea Demon Fruits and the Sea Heart Flame, Little Rainbow's aura had indeed significantly improved again, now reaching the realm of a rank nine demonic beast.

However, this also sparked a hint of doubt in Fang Hong's mind.

Why had Little Rainbow still not transformed?

Logically, once a demonic beast breaks through to Level Eight, it can initially transform into a human form, and after reaching Level Nine, its appearance should be almost indistinguishable from a human.

Yet, the Little Rainbow before him was still her petite, colorful self, showing no signs of change.

Fang Hong fell into deep thought.

Little Rainbow was, after all, no ordinary demonic beast. She was born amidst celestial phenomena, capable of suppressing flames and even summoning wind and thunder from the day she was born, clearly not a common demonic beast.

It seemed that Little Rainbow was likely an extremely rare species of exotic beast, whose growth trajectory was completely different from ordinary demonic beasts. Perhaps her transformation could not be judged by conventional wisdom and would depend on her future growth.

"Let's go, we'll meet the so-called Sea Demon Kings," Fang Hong said calmly, rising and retracting the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron into his body.

With his current strength, coupled with the brand new Four Symbols Formation, he was confident he could deal with those four Demon Kings.

Caw!

Little Rainbow responded excitedly, and Fang Hong put her back into his Spiritual Beast Pouch.

Just as Fang Hong was about to exit the cultivation room, he suddenly raised an eyebrow. His Divine Sense detected four cultivators who had arrived around his Immortal Cave and were searching around, seemingly looking for something.

These four cultivators had average cultivation; two men and two women. The men were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the women were at the early stage of foundation building.

Why were these four here?

Logically, his small island was relatively remote and lacked sufficient spiritual energy, so cultivators rarely came here.

The furtive appearance of these four made Fang Hong somewhat puzzled.

A thought flashed through his mind, and with a flicker of his figure, he silently stepped out of the Immortal Cave to observe the four's movements.

After circling the island, the four cultivators quickly gathered at the foot of a mountain peak on the island.

One of the middle-aged cultivators in blue robes said in a deep voice.

"This spot is good. Let's open an Immortal Cave here. Although the spiritual energy is scarce, it's enough to avoid those crazed demonic beasts."

"Sigh, who knows when this group of demonic beasts will calm down," another cultivator in gray robes sighed with a frown, his eyes full of weariness.

"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful again," the blue-robed cultivator said in a serious, low voice.

"I received a message that the entire Demon Subduing Island has been flattened."

"What? Demon Subduing Island is destroyed?" the gray-robed cultivator exclaimed in shock, his expression instantly turning pale.

"Then how will we return to the Inner Sea? That was the only teleportation passage."

"We can't go back for now. It's better to hide for a while. If the important figures from the Four Seas Sect come to support us, we can follow them back," the blue-robed cultivator sighed and shook his head.

"Oh? You said Demon Subduing Island was destroyed? Can you explain more clearly?"

Just then, a calm yet abrupt voice sounded in their ears, like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly startling the four as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The four turned sharply, only to see Fang Hong had appeared beside them at some point, his hands clasped behind his back, calm and composed.

Fang Hong did not deliberately pressure them, merely releasing a trace of his Core Formation Stage aura. Upon sensing the powerful aura, the four cultivators' expressions drastically changed.

The blue-robed middle-aged cultivator was the first to react, quickly stepping forward a few paces and respectfully cupping his hands in a bow.

"Senior, Senior, we did not know this was your Immortal Cave. We apologize for the disturbance, please forgive us."

The other three also quickly bowed. Rashly intruding into a Core Formation Cultivator's Immortal Cave was not a good thing.

Fang Hong nodded calmly, his gaze falling on the blue-robed cultivator, and he asked in a calm tone.

"What's this about Demon Subduing Island being destroyed? Also, what's happening with the demonic beasts? Tell me truthfully."

Seeing that Fang Hong had no killing intent, the four finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The blue-robed middle-aged cultivator dared not delay and quickly reported truthfully.

"Senior must have been in seclusion recently? A major change has occurred in the Demon Subduing Island sea area."

"For some unknown reason, the great Demonic of the Sea Race launched a large-scale beast tide, destroying human-inhabited islands and frantically hunting human cultivators."

"Demon Subduing Island, which had a teleportation array, was also destroyed, preventing many cultivators from returning to the Inner Sea. We few fled here to avoid the demonic beasts."

"If Senior wishes to operate near Demon Subduing Island, you must be careful. It has almost been completely occupied by demonic beasts," the blue-robed middle-aged cultivator cautiously reminded him.

"So that's it, a beast tide had occurred. " Fang Hong's expression remained calm after listening, but he had some conjectures in his heart.

The reason for the great Demonic launching the beast tide was likely related to him. After all, he had killed several experts of the Sea Race royal family, especially the son of the Golden Winged King.

Seeing Fang Hong remain silent, the four cultivators quietly stayed by his side, not daring to speak and disturb him.

After a moment of thought, Fang Hong had a plan. He farewell the four.

"I wish you good luck."

With that, Fang Hong transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance, his speed so astonishing that the four present were filled with continuous awe.

"Phew... It's a good thing that Senior didn't make things difficult for us," after Fang Hong left, one of the red-robed women said sheepishly, letting out a long breath.

"What was that Senior's cultivation realm exactly? Why did he give off such a strong sense of pressure? And the direction he went seems to be Demon Subduing Island. Is he going to hunt demonic beasts?" the gray-robed cultivator asked with a look of astonishment.

"He wouldn't actually be going to hunt those demonic beasts, would he?" the red-robed woman froze.

"We shouldn't speculate about the affairs of a Core Formation Stage cultivator. Let's quickly find another small island and open an Immortal Cave," the blue-robed cultivator said with a solemn expression and a hint of reverence in his tone.

The four exchanged glances, nodded, and then left the desolate island on their artifacts. They feared Fang Hong might return, so they could only find another small island to hide on.

Fang Hong left his Immortal Cave on the desolate island and flew directly towards Demon Subduing Island.

A beast tide was a terrifying disaster for other cultivators, but for him, it was a group of spirit pills waiting to be harvested.

Fang Hong intended to use this opportunity to lure out the Demon Kings and plan their demise.

After flying for five days, Fang Hong had not yet reached Demon Subduing Island but encountered a large group of demonic beasts.

This group of demonic beasts, estimated to be about two hundred strong, included various types such as fish, shrimp, and crabs, all at Level Four or Five in strength.
