Chapter 1078: Cui Family Of Chongzhou (I)
Li Ximing offered a few words of comfort, and then casually asked, "Has Senior made arrangements for the Gen Earth spirit artifact, the Mountain-Charging Sea-Pacing Tiger? If not, you could gift it to Daoist Master Sumian, or failing that, to Daoist Master Xuan Yi."
Changxi sighed. Clearly, he had planned for this matter long ago, yet he had not found a solution. He answered, "I already have another gift prepared for Sumian. As for Xuan Yi, other arrangements have also been made. Now, those who dare to ask for it would not help me, while those willing to help refuse to accept it. So I still keep it in hand. When my lifespan runs out, I will deliver it to Zhaojing."
Li Ximing understood that the chance of exchanging this spirit artifact for assistance from the Purple Mansion Realm was almost gone. In the end, it would likely be given to his own family for peace of mind. So he said, "Senior, take care. The Profound Peak Gate territories are vast. It would be best to recall the Island Master guarding Yuezhou Island."
Changxi knew that his family had no one left, and that Fu Yuezi was the only one capable of managing affairs. He said hoarsely, "I have already sent him out and ceded Yuezhou to Jingyi Mountain. Once the matter is settled, he will return. Zhaojing need not worry."
Li Ximing sighed inwardly for him but said no more. He nodded, turned, and departed, leaving Profound Peak Gate through the great void. He stepped into the Eastern Sea, where his gaze met lights of Converging Water shining in every direction.
As he traveled stealthily through the great void, he occasionally encountered towering places, which surely harbored spirit items or spirit water. He broke through their boundaries, casually gathered them, and continued on. Along the way, he obtained six Qi Cultivation Realm spirit items and one spirit water, the Earth Fiend Cold Spring.
A Hooked Serpent was guarding the area by the Earth Fiend Cold Spring, likely using it for cultivation. When Li Ximing appeared, the demonic creature stiffened in terror, not daring to make a sound. Out of respect for the Dragon Clan’s territory, Li Ximing spared its life, took the spirit item, and left.
In less than a night’s journey through the great void, he had already reached the Chongzhou Island void. At a glance, he saw rippling Bright Yang radiance transforming into a milky-white light dome that enveloped the area in dazzling brilliance. Li Ximing was somewhat surprised, A lean camel is still bigger than a horse... The Cui Family of Chongzhou actually has a Purple Mansion Realm formation... remarkable, truly remarkable.
With hands clasped behind his back, he broke through the great void and descended on heavenly light to the island’s shore. Immediately, colorful clouds converged, interwoven with purple and gold, as bright weather spread. Li Ximing released his spiritual sense, swept it across the area, located a cultivator dressed as a direct descendant, and stepped forward.
A moment later, his figure appeared behind the patrolling cultivator, and a burst of intense heavenly light radiated outward, casting a field of white all around.
