Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 769: Entering the Immortal Demonic Sea

Li Daoyi’s gaze shifted slightly as he glanced at Zhou Bufan and the others. "Let's talk inside.”

Zhou Bufan and his entourage tossed their heads back, continuing their tea discussions.

Fang Zhixue suppressed her excitement and tried to stay calm as she led her junior brothers and sisters into the Three Thousand Dao Sect with Li Daoye.

The juniors were all astonished. They hadn't expected their senior sister to know such important figures within the Three Thousand Dao Sect.

Li Daoye remained quiet as they walked, so Fang Zhixue gathered her courage and probed, "Big Brother Li, my brother is still alive, right?"

"Yes, I told you before, your brother isn’t dead. Even if he were, he would crawl out from the Underworld." Li Daoye smiled and nodded. "But by the time he crawls out, you will likely no longer be in the Grand Xia Empire."

Fang Zhixue smiled bitterly. "If I had known, I would have stayed home all those years ago."

"The Grand Xia Empire is so far away. How did you manage to get here? And how did you find the Three Thousand Dao Sect?" Li Daoye asked, deeply curious.

"That’s a long story... But where is my brother? I really miss him.”

Li Daoye sighed. "Unfortunately, your brother is away on business. From the looks of it, he won’t be back for another 3 to 5 years."

At this point, his expression shifted slightly, and he whispered to Fang Zhixue, "Over the years, your brother has made many enemies in the Central Continent. You must not let anyone know about your relationship with him. I’ll arrange for you to enter the Three Thousand Dao Sect and train here. After a few years, your brother will be back."

Fang Zhixue felt a pang of sadness upon hearing that her brother wasn’t around, but knowing he was still alive filled her with even more joy.

"Big Brother Li, can you make that decision? My junior brothers and sisters and I are now homeless. Could they also join the Three Thousand Dao Sect?" Fang Zhixue asked in a low voice.

Li Daoye laughed heartily. "This is something I can certainly handle. Leave it to me."

At that moment, a group of Dao cultivators walked toward them. It was Guan’e, Qin Feng and his sister, along with some newly recognized Foundation Building Realm disciples.

The number of Foundation Building Realm cultivators in the Three Thousand Dao Sect had significantly increased, far surpassing what it used to be, and even more than one Golden Core Realm cultivator was now present, not just Pei Qingfeng.

The group approached with respect and greeted, "Greetings, Sect Master.”

"Sect Master?" Fang Zhixue was stunned upon hearing the title the cultivators gave Li Daoye. The members behind her were equally surprised. The cultivator, who seemed so familiar with their senior sister, was the leader of the Three Thousand Dao Sect!?

In an instant, two figures dove into the sea. Within a few breaths, the overwhelming energy dissipated.

Soon, a giant green-headed sea turtle, about the size of a small mountain, was dragged out of the water by the black and white paper figures and shoved before Fang Chen.

The green-headed sea turtle was terrified. It was a demon cultivator in the Enlightenment Realm, which was why it had dared to make a move against Fang Chen.

Fang Chen could have concealed his aura so that ordinary cultivators wouldn’t notice his true strength, but doing so might not resolve the situation. In fact, it could draw the attention of passing cultivators in the Upper Three Realms.

Thus, he revealed his true cultivation level. With just a Golden Core Realm cultivation, even if a stronger individual passed by, they wouldn’t pay him any mind.

"Do you want to eat me?" Fang Chen asked coldly.

"No, no, I made a mistake, please forgive me, Great One," the green-headed sea turtle hurriedly shook its head, its voice filled with fear.

"Give me one good reason not to kill you," Fang Chen said, his tone as calm as ever.

The green-headed sea turtle was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I am a subordinate of the Falling Whale King. If I die, the Falling Whale King will never let it go."

"That's a threat, not a reason."Fang Chen shook his head lightly. "Little Black, kill it."

The green-headed sea turtle's soul nearly left its body as it realized it had said the wrong thing. It quickly added, "I can serve as a mount for you, Great One. If you wish to cross the Immortal Demonic Sea, having me as a guide can avoid quite a lot of trouble!"

"Young Master, it's an Enlightenment Realm demonic cultivator, and has been cultivating in the Immortal Demonic Sea for years. It could indeed help you avoid many difficulties," the white paper figure glanced at the turtle and then lightly smiled at Fang Chen.

"But being a mount is still not enough. I wonder if you've heard of the Pitu Ruins." Fang Chen smiled calmly as he asked.

He had ordered Little Black to kill the green-headed sea turtle simply as a show of force. Now that a local guide had presented itself, how could he kill it so easily?

"Pitu Ruins? So, you're an Immortal Seedling, I was disrespectful, please forgive me, Great One. I won't hide anything from you, no one knows the ruins in the Immortal Demonic Sea better than I do. I’m not bragging..."

"I only asked about the Pitu Ruins," Fang Chen interrupted, pressing his sword against the turtle’s forehead.

"I know! I know!" The green-headed sea turtle immediately stopped talking nonsense and quickly promised.
