Chapter 471: Generation of Xi and Yue Receives Talisman
Li Yuanjiao returned from the Eastern Sea after nearly half a year, standing atop the pitch-black Hooked Serpent and holding a massive white crucian carp demon that was the size of a house. Together, they made their way back from the north.
It was the height of summer, and the air was thick with the stench of fish. Li Yuanjiao tossed the white crucian carp demon into the lake and instructed Wushao to keep an eye on it before heading up the mountain.
Dressed in flowing white robes, Li Xijun rode the wind to meet him. The ever-stoic Li Yuanjiao had spent months chasing this demon fish with the Hooked Serpent across the vast Eastern Sea. At long last, they had captured the beast.
"The Eastern Sea is truly boundless! If one dives deep into it, even a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator might not be able to find their way about," Li Yuanjiao remarked.
If not for Li Wushao's familiarity with the sea and the fact that they had prepared well with formations to seal their target, catching this demon would have likely taken much longer. If Li Yuanjiao had gone alone, he would have likely been worn down to death by the endless swarms of sea creatures.
Li Yuanjiao then reflected, "Even with my Jing Dragon King Dao Foundation, it was an exhausting effort… No wonder so few cultivators venture to the Eastern Sea."
After hearing this, Li Xijun softly reminded him, "Second Uncle, since we have captured the demon, should we not inquire about the Water Virtue matters to confirm whether Senior Wushao's earlier claims were accurate, just in case?"
Li Yuanjiao nodded, understanding his concerns.
"I have already questioned the demon. What Wushao mentioned aligns closely with the sea's common knowledge."
