Chapter 21: The Azure Sea Immortal Sect's Reaction, Arrival at the Earth's Vein Volcano

Seeing Su Muyan's serious expression, Su Zhengxiong knew that she had indeed taken his words to heart.

I felt much more at ease.

"Things are different now. My Su family is showing signs of decline. Although you have dual spiritual roots and breaking through to the Golden Core stage shouldn't be a problem, the family can't offer you any help."

Grandpa is 190 years old this year. Although the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is 240 years, that is when the body is unharmed. When I was young, I was competitive and had many old injuries.

It's obvious he won't live to see the day he dies of old age, and he won't be able to protect you for many more years.

The clan leader is now over 170 years old, his body is no longer at its peak, and he possesses three spiritual roots. Even with the help of a Golden Core cultivator, the probability of him breaking through to the Golden Core stage is not high.

At this point, a hint of loneliness and confusion appeared in Su Zhengxiong's eyes.

He had no power to change the future of his family; it was all up to fate.

Seeing this, Su Muyan quickly got up and poured her grandfather a cup of tea, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

After taking a sip of spiritual tea, Su Zhengxiong continued, "If the patriarch successfully breaks through, then my Su family will still be one of the three overlords of the Penglai Islands."

If the breakthrough fails, my Su family will face the risk of extinction.

The Azure Sea Immortal Sect harbors wolfish ambitions and is determined to unify the Penglai Islands, but they are also afraid of our two families joining forces, so they have hesitated to take action.

The Zhang family has risen to prominence in recent years, with two members, Zhang Xuanbing and Zhang Xuanchen, emerging with dual spiritual roots.

They can't sit still any longer.

Su Zhengxiong paused here, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"If no Golden Core cultivator is born in my Su family within twenty years, our ancestor will burn his last lifespan to take away a Golden Core ancestor from the Azure Sea Immortal Sect. This will also alleviate some of the pressure on the Zhang family."

"To preserve a bloodline for my Su family."

The Su family had already made the worst-case scenario plan. Marrying Su Muyan to Zhang Xuanbing was also for their own selfish reasons, in order to make the Zhang family do their best to leave more bloodlines for the Su family.

……

Azure Sea Immortal Gate.

Sect Main Hall

Sect Master Yang Haoyu, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, was standing respectfully beside the main seat, serving tea and water.

Seated in the main seat was a stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, captivating charm, and enduring allure.

She leaned lazily against the main seat, seemingly oblivious to the large expanse of skin exposed, while a handsome young disciple beside her kept stuffing grapes into her mouth.

"Haoyu, what business do you have summoning me from seclusion?"

The woman's name was tide Mengyao, and she ranked second in strength among the three Golden Core cultivators of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing the woman's question, Yang Haoyu replied, "Replying to Martial Uncle, this disciple wishes to discuss with you the matter of a marriage alliance between the Zhang family and the Su family..."

Before Yang Haoyu could finish speaking, tide Mengyao raised her hand to interrupt him.

"There's no need to worry about that. Old Dog Su's lifespan is almost over; all he's doing is a death throes."

We only need to be prepared in the last few years of his life; otherwise, if any of my two senior brothers or I were to die or be seriously injured, our sect's plan to unify the Penglai Islands would be delayed for decades or even centuries.

Once that old guy passes away, no matter how strong Zhang Chongxian, that madman, is, he won't be able to stop the three of us from joining forces!

At that time, those two geniuses with dual spiritual roots from the Zhang family will become my male concubines!

"By the way, leave the sect's affairs to the elders. You should hone your cultivation and prepare to break through to the Golden Core stage, just in case."

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple understands."

"Um."

As soon as she finished speaking, tide Mengyao's figure disappeared from the main seat, along with the handsome young man.

After she left, Yang Haoyu looked at the empty main seat, lost in thought.

……

Two days later.

In the Dragon Mountains, a young man dressed in tattered clothes and covered in blood arrived near the leyline volcano.

Although he was covered in dirt, his eyes shone brightly as he felt the intense heat emanating from him.

"After two days of trekking, we finally arrived at the volcano."

Zhang Xuanchen looked emotional.

This journey has truly been difficult.

They encountered four waves of cultivators attacking them.

They killed twenty-three early and mid-stage Tier 1 demonic beasts, nine late-stage Tier 1 demonic beasts, and even one early-stage Tier 2 demonic beast.

It has to be said that the second-tier demon beast's defense is really high; it took three mid-grade second-tier spirit talismans to kill it.

Zhang Xuanchen swallowed a top-grade first-tier Qi-restoring pill, and while recovering his spiritual energy, he headed towards the direction of the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire in his mind.

This area is already within the range of volcanic ley lines.

The reddish-brown rocks stretch for hundreds of kilometers.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a volcanic cluster.

Due to the extremely high temperature here, no ordinary plants or other spiritual herbs grow here, but it is an important production area for fire-attribute spiritual herbs.

Examples include fire lotus seeds and red flame grass.

It is also a gathering place for many fire-attribute monsters.

I've heard that there are two third-tier fire dragons deep within the volcanic lava of the earth's veins.

Fortunately, the location of the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire is not deep within the earth.

As Zhang Xuanchen traveled, he encountered many cultivators.

They were all Qi Refining cultivators and dared not venture deeper. They could only try their luck on the outskirts to find some fire-attribute spiritual herbs or ores to sell to spirit stones.

Zhang Xuanchen also pretended to be looking for spiritual herbs and minerals, and continued to walk deeper into the outer perimeter.

"Brother, I advise you not to go any further. If you go any further, there is a high chance that you will encounter monsters of the late stage of the first tier or above."

With your Qi Refining Level 7 cultivation, it's unlikely you'll survive.

Zhang Xuanchen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, middle-aged cultivator whose cultivation level was the same as his own, at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The other person's kind reminder surprised him slightly.

He replied, "Thank you for the reminder, but the outer perimeter has obviously been searched many times. I want to try my luck in the deeper areas."

Goodbye!

After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen left without looking back. He had made ample preparations for the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire, so how could he give up at this time?

"Hey, you..."

A passing rogue cultivator clearly recognized the middle-aged man who had spoken, and looked at Zhang Xuanchen's back with a disdainful smile: "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, why do you care about him?"

How many rogue cultivators die every day in this volcanic field?

As the saying goes, you can't reason with a damned fool; you're just too kind.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyang sighed: "That person looks to be only in his twenties, but his cultivation has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is enough to prove that his talent is not weak."

The future is bright; it would be such a waste to die in a volcanic eruption.

Upon hearing Zhou Qingyang's words, a hint of jealousy flashed across the face of the man.

"Hmph, what's the use of having great talent? Judging from his attire, he doesn't seem to have any connections."

"Maybe I'll die in there in a few days~"

Zhou Qingyang shook his head without refuting. He had been here for more than half a year and had given many reminders to the cultivators.

Some listened, while others, like Zhang Xuanchen, didn't.

He doesn't get angry if people don't listen.

I'm just doing what I think is right.
