Rushing, rushing...

Right as Princess Zhen swept towards the sea surface, three indiscernible green rays of light shot across the coastline, pursuing into deep sea.

If Princess Zhen had just been active in Donghai City along the coast, they might not have noticed her. However, yesterday, she suddenly appeared in an inland city, entering their tracking range.

But with Princess Zhen's prowess as a Demon King, even if these Soul Formation realm cultivators used various investigative secret techniques, her whereabouts would still be elusive and unpredictable.

In the cities where ordinary people gathered, it was not easy for them to take action against her, and it seemed that Princess Zhen had no intention of fighting with them either.

Thus, several Soul Formation realm cultivators were played around by Princess Zhen in a city, using all their techniques but failing to force her out. Even at night, the traces of Princess Zhen suddenly vanished.

If this had happened before, a Demon King suddenly going ashore wouldn't have triggered such attention from several Soul Formation realm cultivators, but with Princess Zhen having just snatched the divine lamp from Kunlun Mountain and brazenly appearing on land, how could these Soul Formation realm cultivators not put forth their utmost efforts

They believed that Princess Zhen was still in the city, so they spent a night setting up large arrays. Suddenly, however, they discovered there were two Demon Kings of similar levels within this city!

The aura of Princess Zhen, who had once charged into Kunlun Mountain and fought with several of them before, could be sensed by them, but the other one was hidden extremely well; they couldn't sense it at all.

Princess Zhen appearing on land was actually here to privately meet another Demon King!

This made these Soul Formation realm cultivators nervous, suspecting that such earth-shattering demon kings might have some sinister plot.

As they exhausted themselves for a night trying to determine Princess Zhen's location and prepare to capture her, cunning Princess Zhen suddenly took flight again.

Soul Formation realm great cultivators had extremely broad perception abilities and could lock onto any cultivator within hundreds of kilometers. Yet, there was no way for them to pinpoint Princess Zhen's position.

They switched between various techniques, finding her position time after time only for her to vanish once again. As they chased, they felt something amiss; it seemed like Princess Zhen was deliberately playing with them and wasting their time.

A full hour of pursuit and evasion passed before the sky suddenly brightened, and Princess Zhen's concealment technique rendered her completely undetectable in their perception range.

Princess Zhen dodged and weaved without engaging them; perhaps she had some reservations. However, one Soul Formation realm cultivator couldn't bear this humiliation and used up a hundred years of cultivation to reveal Princess Zhen's escape route.

But after entering Donghai City, her whereabouts briefly disappeared again before reappearing with an additional young girl-like cultivator in hand!

These three Transcendence cultivators who were chasing after Zhen Fei to Donghai City didn't know where she had suddenly grabbed a young-looking cultivator, only to find out that the girl was actually a human race cultivator!

Thinking of how Zhen Fei casually grabbed a human race cultivator and took her to Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, these three Transcendence cultivators became very anxious and urged their magical power to chase even harder.

"Yaor, given the personalities of those three Transcendence cultivators, if they manage to save you from me by chance, they will definitely take you on as a disciple."

While flying, Zhen Fei said this to her.

"Huh" Duanyao was surprised when she looked at Zhen Fei who had pulled her along.

"Your talent isn't bad. They certainly won’t look down on you. Being taken in as a disciple by a Transcendence cultivator is also your good fortune," Zhen Fei continued to say.

Zhen Fei’s tone was calm and relaxed, but her speed didn’t slow down at all. The three Transcendence cultivators behind were exerting themselves fully to chase after Zhen Fei, yet their speed wasn't much slower either.

Duanyao looked at Zhen Fei with confusion.

If it had happened in the past, she would have felt admiration and respect towards Transcendence cultivators. If a disciple could be taken in by a Transcendence cultivator who far surpassed those of Nascent Soul realm, they would certainly get so excited that they couldn't sleep at night. They wouldn’t hesitate but directly kowtow to the master.

"Sea of Ten Thousand Demons has a prosperous appearance on the surface but is actually a cage in reality. If you go into Sea of Ten Thousand Demons with me this time, it could be as short as eight years or as long as ten years before you can come out from it. If you want to go back with those three Transcendence cultivators, I will pretend to slip and let these little fellows have some fun by taking you back to cultivate properly," Zhen Fei said very seriously.

"Master has saved Yaor's life. Yaor wants to follow Master! Whether it’s eight years or ten years, even eighty years or eight hundred years later, Yaor won’t have any complaints!" Duanyao bit her lip and suddenly spoke up.

When Zhen Fei heard this from Duanyao, she fell silent for half a second before suddenly covering her mouth and laughing, "Haha… Master’s nature isn’t very good. I might save you one moment and kill you the next. Who knows when you’ll offend me as your master someday, costing you your life Have you thought it through"

"I have!" Duanyao immediately answered.

Transcendence cultivators were indeed great figures who could move heaven and earth, but Duanyao was tired of the hypocrisy among human race cultivators and didn’t want to return to an environment in a cultivation sect!

Zhen Fei belonged to the demon race, yet she was genuinely happy when she was happy and genuinely angry when she was angry—this suited Duanyao’s personality!

"Not bad not bad… If you said that you wanted to go back, I would have just killed you," Zhen Fei softly said.

She lifted her hand casually and threw a small bead off the strands of hair on top of her head.

This white bead dropped into the sea and dissolved upon contact with water, suddenly transforming into a thick layer of fog.

"Trivial skills!" The three cultivators at the Transcendence stage, who had been chasing behind relentlessly, activated their magic treasures and charged into the fog.

Bam!

All three of these Transcendence-stage cultivators crashed against a barrier that even their divine sense couldn’t detect. They ended up with bloody heads and broken noses.

This mist was not, as they had imagined, an illusory array formation but rather an adamantine array formation!

Imperial Concubine Zhen turned to look at the three Transcendence-stage cultivators who had fallen into the sea with a splash. Then she turned back around and looked at Duan Yao, who was in her arms. "Your cultivation base is too low. You can’t even beat Xiao Hao, which isn’t good."

"Disciple wishes to practice hard under Master’s guidance until I surpass Xiao Hao," said Duan Yao as she bit her lips.

"What’s the use of surpassing that brat What matters is defeating a Heavenly Dragon. My lady has already improved your constitution and can now infuse you with spiritual energy, but…" Imperial Concubine Zhen paused. "Cultivation carries risks. There’s a fifty percent chance you’ll die."

Seeing Duan Yao still hadn’t said anything, Imperial Concubine Zhen smiled. "Alright then. When we return to the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, it won’t matter if you practice slowly and steadily—just come out again in ten or twenty years and defeat him."

"Master, I want to get stronger!" Duan Yao said firmly as she stared at Imperial Concubine Zhen with her big eyes.

"There’s a fifty percent chance you’ll die," repeated Imperial Concubine Zhen.

"Yao doesn’t fear death!" replied Duan Yao, gritting her teeth.

"Alright then. Since you’re so eager, Master will help you this one time." As she flew, Imperial Concubine Zhen placed her hand on top of Duan Yao’s head.

Boom! A powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed into Duan Yao’s body.

But in an instant, the spiritual energy became very gentle, like ink that had been diluted and was now spreading out inside her body.

Duan Yao felt her golden core break apart and these fragments merge with the misty spiritual energy to form a solid three-dimensional image that looked both like a nascent soul and a tiny demon beast.

A beam of bright light suddenly flashed from her forehead, and in an instant, Duan Yao felt herself surge up from the Core Formation stage to the Nascent Soul stage!

The ordinary cultivator might spend several hundred years or even nearly a millennium reaching this level. But Duan Yao had only taken seconds to achieve it!

"If you’re going to train under me, then at least start from this level; otherwise what’s the point" Imperial Concubine Zhen gently tapped her palm on top of Duan Yao’s forehead with a soft hand. "You silly girl, I was just joking with you. This infusion technique is completely risk-free. You looked so worried."

She suddenly chuckled, laughing joyfully and happily.

Duan Yao stared at her blankly, feeling like a little lamb in front of the alluring Empress Zhen.

"Little one is too innocent. Don't let those boys outside fool you," Empress Zhen held Duan Yao's hand; her expression suddenly changed, "From now on, you are my disciple, Empress Zhen! Anyone who dares to harm you will see their entire clan wiped out!"

Boom!

A dazzling purple barrier rose as Empress Zhen rushed into the Sea of Myriad Demons.

Rush rush rush...

Covering his bleeding forehead, a Cultivator at the Soul Formation Stage who emerged from the sea could only stop in front of Immortal Spirit Island and couldn’t continue chasing.

High-ranking Dragon Clan cultivators occasionally passing through the Sea of Myriad Demons might not encounter any trouble, but for human cultivators to enter the Sea was courting disaster.

The Sea of Myriad Demons harbored powerful Great Demon Kings on par with Soul Formation Stage cultivators. Flying high and far above wasn’t a problem, but flying low or entering the sea would definitely stir up quite a number of Great and Minor Demon Kings.

Empress Zhen had already flown into the Sea of Myriad Demons after snatching the Divine Lamp on Mount Kunlun. No matter how brave these three Soul Formation Stage cultivators were, they wouldn’t dare to chase her inside.

The three circled around the boundary near Immortal Spirit Island and found where the other five were located before flying over.

Below the sea’s surface was a group of patrol soldiers from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Seeing eight Soul Formation Stage cultivators gathered above the sea, they did not come out proactively.

The area belonged to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and human cultivators were unwelcome there, but Soul Formation Stage cultivators weren’t something even they could drive away.

Just as these eight Soul Formation cultivators hovered high above Immortal Spirit Island discussing their next move, Hao Ren arrived swiftly in a golden treasure ship transformed from the Purple-Gold Hairpin.

Hao Ren had already reached Upper Rank Shui, and his mastery over the Treasured Object Art was proficient. Under the infusion of his Gold-Water Spiritual Energy, the hairpin extended to nearly 100 meters from its original sixteen zhang. It looked even more impressive!

Seeing a beam of golden light approaching at Soul Formation speed, these eight Soul Formation cultivators initially thought another Soul Formation-stage cultivator was coming to help but then realized it was an illustrious golden ship法寶，上麵站著一位龍族修士。

看上去並不是很強。

轟……金色的寶船直接衝進了萬妖海的範圍。貼著看似平靜的萬妖海，劃出兩條長長的波浪。nnoying me or what!" Zhao Yanzi suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Hao Ren into not asking her anything further; he could only slow down his pace and continue walking forward."Hao Ren, why don't you car...
