Chapter 715: Eating Melons (Bonus Chapter for Subscriptions)
Moonlight Immortal City.
Wang Lingying passed by Bigan Plain and, seeing that the cultivators within were no longer from the Ma family, couldn't help but sigh.
He transformed into a streak of light and landed at the core cave abode on the lake-heart island, a food box still in his hand.
Upon the quaint box, numerous formations were actually engraved, allowing the contents within to maintain their freshest flavor. . .
"Old Ancestor. . . This is the latest spiritual meal from Three Flavors Restaurant today, please have a taste!"
Ever since breaking through to Return to Void, the Old Ancestor seemed to have suddenly become lax, and he had also grown quite a bit lazier.
Recently, he had developed a particular interest in various gastronomic desires.
Naturally, Wang Lingying had to ingratiate himself.
"Nine Fragrance Jade Dew. . . Not bad, not bad. You've gone to great lengths."
Fang Xi pulled out the cork, sniffed it, then gulped down a mouthful, making the little mystical turtle beside him swallow nervously.
Immediately after, he tore off a piece of crispy, golden-roasted suckling pig skin and leisurely savored it.
"Hmm, the heat on this roasted suckling pig was managed well. . . It's just that the lightning strike was three breaths too late. . ."
He commented lightly.
As a Spirit Chef Master, Fang Xi was naturally quite proficient in this art.
It was just that he preferred to enjoy the ready-made results.
His chopsticks fell like rain, completely devouring the most delicious tendon, bone, and skin parts of the roasted suckling pig, then casually tossing the remaining "dead meat" to the little mystical turtle.
The little mystical turtle, too, accepted all comers, opening its large mouth and eating with great relish.
Fang Xi continued to eat the bear paw, finally tasting the soup brewed from bred demon beasts, the 'Kaitai Sheep' and 'Red Dragon Carp'. His brow gradually unfurled: "This soup truly is fresh. . . Kaitai Sheep is already greatly nourishing, and Red Dragon Carp possesses a flood dragon bloodline. The two combined complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, excellent. . ."
'The Old Ancestor truly knows how to eat. . . This single meal costs supreme-grade spirit stones! '
Wang Lingying secretly cried out in bitterness, as Fang Xi poured more Nine Fragrance Jade Dew into his mouth, his gaze towards Wang Lingying carrying a hint of playfulness: "You are quite cautious. . . What? Still not planning to return?"
Wang Lingying was the helmsman of the Wang family in Xuanming Abyss!
At this time, with the immortal abode fully opened and numerous high-level cultivators gathered in the turbulent Xuanming Abyss, by rights, he should have returned to preside over the overall situation.
"The Old Ancestor jests. As long as you are here, the Wang family will remain. . . Moreover, this time I've brought the entire Wang family and its core affiliates, preparing to stay in Moonlight Immortal City until the matters of Xuanming Abyss are concluded before returning. . ."
Wang Lingying showed no trace of embarrassment.
It was clear that he had originally intended to simply stay put in Moonlight Immortal City.
"Haha. . . Not bad, not bad. You've finally been tempered. . ."
Fang Xi nodded in satisfaction.
This Wang Lingying was truly worthy of having weathered the Wang family's tribulation with him and successfully advanced to Divine Transformation; he was simply more clever than Wang Lingdao, who had perished with the market.
Staying in Moonlight Immortal City, while perhaps not yielding any gains, offered the advantage of safety, with absolutely no danger!
"I wonder. . . what exactly is happening within that overseas immortal abode?"
Fang Xi held his wine pot, gazing towards the direction of Xuanming Abyss, a hint of reminiscence in his expression.
...
Xuanming Abyss.
Woooo! Wooooo!
Howling yin winds raged, and turbid waves scraped the sky!
Between heaven and earth, a Profound Nether Rain suddenly began to fall, and within the boundless dark clouds, an even more colossal creature roamed.
It was, astonishingly, a giant Kun of terrifying proportions!
And beside the giant Kun, several streaks of light pursued it, their auras as profound as the sea; they were, without exception, Return to Void cultivators!
These Return to Void cultivators manipulated the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, confronting and entangling with the giant Kun. . .
The boundless Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi mixed together, erupting in extreme chaotic ripples. Even Divine Transformation cultivators, if caught in such violent and chaotic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, would likely be severely injured even if they didn't die!
"Kill!"
A black-robed Return to Void cultivator roared, and Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi condensed, forming a long, slender blade light resembling a black crescent moon!
He held a pitch-black curved saber-like Return to Void treasure and fiercely slashed down!
Thwack!
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was suddenly torn open, and the pitch-black blade light landed on the giant Kun, actually ripping open a huge canyon.
Countless splashes of blood flew, making the giant Kun let out a mournful wail.
"Haha!"
"After exhausting all our methods, we finally lured this Kun out of the Profound Nether Sea Eye. Today, we must kill this primordial desolate beast and take its core!"
A white-haired Daoist with an immortal-like bearing shook the whisk in his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless white chains suddenly appeared in the void, resembling an inescapable net, and plunged down, blocking the giant Kun's path.
Although the giant Kun was enormous, it was merely a Return to Void level primordial desolate beast.
Facing the siege of numerous Return to Void cultivators, it had long since fallen into a disadvantage and was now in an even more precarious situation.
Woooo!
Just then, all the Return to Void cultivators heard an ethereal and clear whale song.
It was that True Armored Whale!
It swiftly swam from the sea, charging into the battlefield.
Crack!
The chaotic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi immediately tore apart its thick armor, and fresh red whale blood flowed out!
"Hmph, courting death!"
The black-robed Return to Void cultivator, holding the curved saber treasure, sneered: "Perfect! We can take its 'Dragon Saliva Spirit Incense', which is also a Return to Void spiritual item!"
His curved saber flashed, revealing a dense blood-red color, accompanied by the cries of ten thousand resentful souls.
Hiss!
A blade light, like a cold and desolate blood moon, fell.
However, the True Armored Whale leaped with all its might, causing the blade light to shift, only severing half of its fish tail.
The whale song in the void grew even clearer, even carrying a hint of melancholy. . .
Countless blood-red bursts erupted from the True Armored Whale, gathering on the single horn atop its head, transforming into a blood-red brilliance that shot up into the sky!
"This desolate beast's innate ability, is it some kind of vital blood burning? "
The black-robed Return to Void cultivator cursed.
If so, most of the True Armored Whale's materials would be wasted!
Pfft!
The True Armored Whale's aura rapidly declined, but that blood-red brilliance fiercely collided with the massive white net. The endless blood-red light scattered, revealing a single horn within.
The single horn spun madly, tearing a gap in the massive net.
Upon seeing this, the True Armored Whale's song gradually weakened, and it slowly sank into the seabed, like a reef.
"Its plight is pitiable, yet. . . a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The white-haired Daoist snorted coldly, then waved his whisk again.
Upon this whisk, ancient seal script characters flickered with spiritual light, transforming into a sheet of white ethereal light.
Under the cover of the ethereal light, that crack was rapidly mended. . .
Everything the True Armored Whale did seemed to be for naught.
For this, it even paid with its life.
No!
"Roar! Roar!"
Within the clouds, the giant Kun suddenly let out a terrifying wail.
An astonishing layer of green spiritual light abruptly burst forth, enveloping its entire body.
Within this dense green spiritual light, the giant Kun's body actually instantly shrunk by nearly thirty to forty percent!
Its body also became increasingly slender, its fins spreading open as if transforming into a pair of wings.
The scales upon it transformed into individual green feathers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
An astonishing storm appeared, tearing apart the boundless dark clouds, revealing an exceedingly magnificent giant bird!
It suddenly took a dive, plunging into the deep sea, instantly breaking through the Profound Nether Sea. Clutching the True Armored Whale in its claws, it then soared into the sky.
"That's not a bird, that's. . . a Kunpeng? !"
The white-haired Daoist exclaimed.
"Its back like a giant mountain, its wings like clouds spanning the heavens. . ."
The black-robed Demonic Cultivator muttered, but then revealed a ferocious expression: "It hasn't fully transformed into a Peng yet, it's just forcibly stimulated its bloodline transformation, damaging its future potential. . . All the more reason not to let it escape!"
The expressions of the numerous Return to Void cultivators became solemn, and they unleashed their most powerful magical treasures and secret arts towards the Kunpeng.
They had now formed a blood feud with this Kunpeng.
Judging from this bird's bloodline, even if its potential was damaged today, it was unlikely to advance to a Mahayana-level True Spirit in the future, but its talent was too great; the Integration stage hurdle probably wouldn't stop it!
If they couldn't kill it, their sects and families would have a powerful Integration-level desolate beast as an enemy in the future!
Screech!
The Kunpeng at this moment indeed seemed not to have fully transformed, with many fish scales still remaining on its body.
It suddenly flapped its wings, soaring ninety thousand li into the sky.
That layer of massive white net was instantly torn apart by countless storms. With a few flaps of its wings, the Kunpeng vanished. . .
"That direction is the Profound Nether Sea Eye!"
A trace of despair appeared on the white-haired old Daoist's face.
"Chase quickly!"
The black-robed Demonic Cultivator, however, said: "And swiftly notify the Starry Sky Sect! With an Integration-level desolate beast in the Starry Sky Domain, they should be the ones with the headache!"
"Heh heh, the Starry Sky Sect has always been domineering, even more so recently in the overseas immortal abode, forcing us to temporarily retreat and unwilling to take their abuse. . . Isn't this perfect?"
Another sinister voice echoed.
The white-haired Daoist immediately grew angry: "Withered Child, you are alone in the world, so naturally you don't worry about these things. This old man still has a large number of sect disciples!"
A green incense stick appeared in his hand, and he was about to notify the Starry Sky Sect.
Suddenly!
A clear chime came from several people.
The black-robed Return to Void cultivator's expression was somewhat strange. He took out a jade talisman and saw countless dense, ant-sized characters appear on it.
Following that, a twisted and strange smile appeared on his face: "Dead? Haha. . . Let that brat be arrogant, he finally kicked an iron plate. . ."
The white-haired Daoist's expression abruptly changed: "Such a major event actually occurred within the overseas immortal abode? We must go quickly. . ."
The various Return to Void cultivators immediately transformed into streaks of light, not even bothering to pursue the Kunpeng, and flew towards the overseas immortal abode. . .
...
Several days later.
Moonlight Immortal City.
Fang Xi picked up a jade-like spiritual melon, casually sliced it open, and embraced it to gnaw.
A moment later, a pure green streak of light appeared in the sky, landing on the lake-heart island and transforming into a female cultivator wearing green battle armor.
She had a petite figure and a youthful countenance, yet her aura was around the mid-Return to Void stage.
Such an appearance was proof of a genius who broke through realms extremely early!
"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen. . ."
Fang Xi cupped his hands, recognizing her as a stationed cultivator of Moonlight Immortal City: "The 'Jade Scale Melon' is ripe today. Would Fellow Daoist like a piece?"
The female cultivator with the surname Chen saw the melon in Fang Xi's hand, her expression unchanged: "There's no time for such things now. Something major has happened in the overseas immortal abode!"
"Oh? What major event? " Fang Xi asked curiously.
"That Starry Sky Holy Body disciple of the Starry Sky Sect was killed. . . " The female cultivator with the surname Chen did not keep him in suspense.
"Oh? Then the Starry Sky Sect is probably going to go crazy!"
Fang Xi took another bite of the spiritual melon to calm his nerves.
