Chapter 521: Cultivation, Waiting

" 。"This Yinlan Great Thief is truly despicable, but his magic power is indeed profound and unparalleled. I wonder..." Cao Xi'er saw a flash of worry in the eyes of the black-clothed fighter and the Y...Therefore, even though Piaomiao Hall was fraught with danger, Lu Xia Tian decided to take a trip. After all, he had a way to deal with the Brahma Luo Spirit Fire, which could be fatal to Jindan cultivators. As for other dangers, he could only meet them head-on.

On the other hand, another issue worried Lu Xiaitian quite a bit. Since Luo Ping'er's father and his fellow Jindan cultivators could find the whereabouts of this Miaobiao Hall, other Jindan cultivators who came here to hunt monsters could also do so. That meant he still had to face the possible competition from other cultivators.

After all, it's possible that there are other treasures besides the Fan Luo Ling Fire in the Piao Miao Hall.

Moreover, since the Floating Palace could move, he had to search around and not just stay put waiting.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Having made up his mind, Lu Xia Tian sat down and recovered some of the consumed mana. He began to search for traces of the Miaomiao Palace along these deserted islands nearby. According to the words left by Luo Ping'er's father, the Miaomiao Palace should appear in recent years. However, there was no certainty about the specific day or location. Even though Lu Xia Tian had a map in his hand at this time, he couldn't be 100% sure.

One can only do one's best and leave the rest to fate. Lu Xiaoteng sighed slightly. Fortunately, where he cultivated didn't make much difference to him. Over the years, he might as well have considered this as his place of cultivation. Besides, he could also hunt sea monsters, even if he never waited for the legendary Misty Palace, he wouldn't have wasted his time.

No longer able to contain his excitement, Little Firecrow was released to enjoy the open air, and Lu Xia Tian began a life of travel over this boundless sea. Even without finding the Misty Palace, Lu Xia Tian at this time had to cultivate himself, deduce formations, and nurture several artifacts. These tasks were enough to keep him busy.

Time passed day by day, Lu Xiaotian spent every day searching and cultivating. Occasionally, he would notice the traces of demonic beasts, and he would set up formations to hunt them. Considering that Emperor Kun had used a trapping formation to escape from the hands of the green-robed elder during his tribulation, Lu Xiaotian would also spend his spare time refining a few sets of trapping formations that were not very lethal but specifically designed to confuse and trap opponents.

Gradually, Lu Xiaotien hunted and killed over a dozen seventh-order demonic beasts, as well as one slightly weaker eighth-order demonic beast.

Several times when he encountered powerful eighth-order demonic beasts, Lu Xiaotian would directly release them from the battle formation to avoid a fierce fight that could leave both sides badly injured, it was not worth the loss.

There are times when I encounter tough nuts, though. Once, I came across a seven-flower sea serpent python at the peak of the eighth stage. Its strength was overwhelming, and its methods were exceptionally sharp. Because he cultivated the nameless snake kung fu, combined with the Soul Devouring Great Law, the primordial spirit and essence of snake monsters had the greatest impact on his strength. Lu Xiaoteng's heart surged with heat as he attracted this seven-flower sea serpent python to a floating island and set up an array to fight it in a grand battle. In this battle, Lu Xiaoteng used all his skills, along with the array and Emperor Kun's help, but still couldn't hold it back. He only managed to wound it. However, the injured seven-flower sea serpent python was incredibly lucky. During the battle, it began to break through to a ninth-stage monster. With a flick of its tail, it almost shattered the array. Lu Xiaoteng was startled and hurriedly packed up the Bagua Locking Demon Array, fleeing in embarrassment.

The Qihua Hai Yao Mang, injured and enraged by Lu Xiaotian's provocation, was already furious with the human and beast before him. Now, having recently broken through to a higher level of power, it refused to relent, relentlessly pursuing Lu Xiaotian. The black and white dou (pott) were still being cultivated within his dantian and couldn't exert much power at this time. Lu Xiaotian could only flee everywhere on Emperor Kun.

The Seven Flower Sea Demon Python was enraged and chased them relentlessly for a whole day and night. Even Di Kun showed signs of exhaustion. Later, Lu Xia Tian had no choice but to use the trapping formation on his body to lure the Seven Flower Sea Demon Python into the formation, temporarily confining it, allowing him to escape.

Lu Xiaotian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, narrowly escaping. At his current strength, even with Di Kun's help, facing a ninth-order beast was a gamble they could likely lose. Originally, Lu Xiaotian had held onto a sliver of hope. After all, dealing with an eighth-order peak demon beast already carried immense risk. Even if he managed to kill it, the八卦鎖妖陣 (Bagua Lock Demon Formation) would very likely suffer some damage. After all, in warfare, killing one thousand enemies while losing eight hundred was a common reality. He couldn't expect a complete victory without any cost.

After this lesson, Lu Xia Tian became more cautious and would never take unnecessary risks again. He preferred to kill weaker demon beasts instead of risking his life like before. After all, while it was possible to occasionally kill Tier 7 Gold-ranked demon beasts in this sea area, it wasn't as common as when he was in Jinding Valley in Qingzhou City. Once the Bagua Locking Demon Formation suffered too much damage, he would lose his greatest advantage against mid-stage Golden Core cultivators.

His goal was to enter the Misty Hall, he didn't want to waste time with these monsters. However, Lu Xiaoteng also had times of incredibly good luck. He encountered two deep-sea cyan demon apes fighting over territory. Both were at the peak of the eighth rank, no weaker than the seven-flower sea serpent that hadn't broken through yet. The two deep-sea cyan demon apes fought from the depths of the sea to the air and back into the sea again, causing waves to surge hundreds of miles around them. Lu Xiaoteng originally wanted to avoid them, but seeing that the two deep-sea cyan demon apes were evenly matched, he changed his mind and quietly watched the battle from beneath the water.

These two deep-sea Azure Demon Apes fought for a whole day, one was overpowered by the other, whose strength was slightly greater. In the end, it grabbed the weaker ape's two arms and tore its dozens of zhang tall body in half. The escaping primordial spirit was crushed into powder with a single claw by the victor. Lu Xiaoteng felt great pain watching this. Once he obtained the primordial spirit of such a powerful deep-sea Azure Demon Ape and used the Soul Devouring Art, his combat power would skyrocket.

However, after a fierce battle between the two deep-sea azure ape demons, the victor was also severely injured. A murderous glint appeared in Lu Xiaotian's eyes. He no longer hesitated and directly took out the fire dragon bow and arrow, swallowing the spirit of a seventh-order demon beast. Taking advantage of its excitement from the victory before it could recover, he ambushed and shot out its left eye. The victorious deep-sea azure ape demon was already severely injured after all, and its defense was slightly lax due to the victory. Coupled with Lu Xiaotian's previous breath hidden almost perfectly, the arrow hit its mark. However, it only seriously wounded the deep-sea azure ape demon, far from killing it. In close combat, Lu Xiaotian further experienced firsthand the terrifying power of the deep-sea azure ape demon. No wonder that over the years, most humans have mostly been confined to land, and fighting these sea monsters at sea is indeed quite disadvantageous.

However, thanks to the great battle with the Deep Sea Azure Demon Ape, its strength had been reduced by six or seven. Although its physical strength was formidable, as long as Land Xia Tian didn't let it hit him, he wouldn't be in any danger. After such a stalemate for several hours, Land Xia Tian seized the opportunity to blind the Deep Sea Azure Demon Ape's other eye before finally, with little risk, wearing down and killing this beast.d be a grave offense indeed.“As for combat prowess, I am far inferior to Changting of Muye. However, when it comes to status and influence over a single faction, I leave the judgment to you. If you de...
