Wuwei Academy continued the duel between Xu Feng and Silverbeard. After four years, to strike Bai Jue Qing Zi in front of everyone, one could only rely on open strength; the Gale Sword Formation was absolutely off-limits.
For the secretive Xu Feng, the depths of the sea became the best place for seclusion.
The underwater monsters were numerous and extremely dangerous, especially in the Abandoned Sea. Anyone who could enter the Abandoned Sea was a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator, and these cultivators were the pillars of their respective sects. They would not venture into the Abandoned Sea for training unless they were treasure hunters or cultivators facing imminent death, hoping for luck.
To cultivators below the Great Perfection Stage, the Abandoned Sea was a forbidden zone, a place to be avoided.
Practicing swordsmanship in the Abandoned Sea, as long as one was not afraid of monster attacks, would almost never be discovered by humans.
Xu Feng soared high, swift as a meteor. The cultivators on the surface of the sea recognized the passing Wings of the Strange Dragon immediately as belonging to Xu Feng. He had no intention of hiding; his fame grew larger, and his strength matched his reputation. Fewer and fewer dared to challenge him.
Entering the Raging Sea, one would travel ten thousand miles to reach the Chaotic Sea, and from there, another hundred thousand miles to arrive at the Abandoned Sea.
On an island at the edge of the Abandoned Sea, Xu Feng stood by the shore.
The waters of the Abandoned Sea were calm like a mirror, with the setting sun casting slanted rays, painting a blood-red horizon.
Suddenly! A monster burst from the water's surface, shaking its head violently, sending severed limbs flying into the Sky, which fell far into the sea, splattering blood everywhere. The monster followed suit, biting and shaking its prey playfully.
This is what the Abandoned Sea is like; you can never know its dangers. The seemingly tranquil surface hides lethal threats beneath it, where powerful monsters could emerge at any moment.
In the Abandoned Sea, monsters of the Transformation Period were merely ordinary; it was the Royal Beasts that took center stage. These beasts could transform into human forms but retained their original appearances, only revealing their human forms when necessary.
The recently appeared monster was a Transformation Stage Beast. The Transformation Period was equivalent to a human's Divine Separation Stage, but in the realm of beasts, humans at the Divine Separation Stage were no match, just like those in the Beast Wasteland.
Xu Feng could defeat Divine Separation Stage Cultivators, but against sea monsters, he could only win without absolute certainty.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Feng spread his wings and flew towards the Abandoned Sea.
Occasionally, several Sea Demons leaped from the water, glaring fiercely. However, since they did not have an advantage in the air, those few Sea Demons did not attack.
Flying less than ten miles, Xu Feng discovered an island and landed on it. The Abandoned Sea was too dangerous, and Xu Feng did not dare to venture too deep; just dealing with the Transformation Period Sea Demons in this ten-mile stretch was enough for him.
The island was only about four or five miles wide, with short trees and water plants hanging from the branches. During high tide, the island would be submerged, and the ebb and flow of the tides made the island appear quite peculiar.
At the top of the island, there was a cave that seemed to be man-made. Xu Feng called out from outside but received no response, so he walked into the cave.
The stone cave was only three or four meters deep and appeared to be a simple dwelling. In the center sat a skeleton.
There were no other belongings around the skeleton, suggesting that someone had come before and taken away its possessions.
People knew that there were rare treasures overseas, but how many knew how many famous cultivators had died in search of these treasures?
Respecting the deceased, Xu Feng exited the cave and opened another cave not far away to settle down.
For a while, Xu Feng practiced the Wuwei Heart Sutra left by Silverbeard in his cave. At night, he would dive deep into the sea to practice the Gale Sword Formation.
As his Water Element Technique advanced to the Divine Separation Late Stage, Xu Feng's recovery speed increased, allowing him to use the Gale Sword Formation more sustainably, achieving a frequency of four times a day.
There were dozens of Transformation Stage Beasts within a ten-mile radius. Initially, they looked down on Xu Feng, but after several leading beasts were severely injured, they began to fear him and slowly stopped harassing him.
A few stubborn beasts insisted on fighting Xu Feng to the death. The outcome was predictable; they were pierced by forty Supreme Treasure Swords, and their demon cores and bodies became Xu Feng's spoils.
After two months of cultivation, all the surrounding beasts retreated, leaving this ten-mile sea area to Xu Feng. In comparison to the vast Abandoned Sea, ten miles was insignificant and not worth fighting over.
During these two months, Xu Feng frequently entered and exited the seabed. Besides gaining an understanding of the underwater terrain, he also grasped the pattern of tidal movements. Here, high tide occurred every twenty units of time, submerging the island once before receding two units later.
Having mastered this pattern, Xu Feng began preparing for his next steps. He spent five hours driving away all of Zhou Dada's beasts and then set up two powerful formations in his cave.
As expected, when the tide receded, Xu Feng entered the cave and took out Not Returning Child's Yuan Ying to begin refining it.
Not Returning Child had long anticipated this outcome and did not struggle; he merely sighed at his misfortune for falling into Xu Feng's hands.
Xu Feng would not be polite with him, using the Sorrowful Technique to knock out Not Returning Child, leading to his complete disappearance, which could be considered a form of euthanasia.
Not Returning Child practiced the Earth Element Cultivation Method, and his realm was the same as Silverbeard's. Both were studying the Wuwei Heart Sutra, and there were many similar principles in their Yuan Ying.
After refining Silverbeard, Xu Feng's strength increased significantly. This time, refining Not Returning Child was a smooth process, taking only eighteen attempts and finishing just in time for the tide to rise.
The Yuan Ying memories of Not Returning Child were not much different from Silverbeard's, confirming the authenticity of Silverbeard's memories. Not Returning Child also possessed the fourth layer of the Wuwei Heart Sutra. This indicates that disciples of Wuwei Academy are given access to the next layer of the Cultivation Method in advance for their practice.
Not Returning Child's Wuwei Heart Sutra was identical to Silverbeard's, which highlights the value of the Wuwei Heart Sutra; it can be practiced regardless of one's attributes.
Strictly speaking, the Wuwei Heart Sutra is not merely a Cultivation Method but rather a mental technique.
As long as one masters this mental technique, they can achieve great results regardless of their attributes. The level of understanding one has of the Wuwei Heart Sutra reflects their strength.
So far, the strongest disciple Xu Feng has encountered from Wuwei Academy was the Demon Hunter he met in Shennong Valley. The Demon Hunter is one of the Five Masters, at the peak of Early Stage of Great Achievement, capable of breaking through to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement at any moment.
After refining Not Returning Child, Xu Feng's Earth Element strength undoubtedly soared to Divine Separation Late Stage, significantly enhancing his defensive capabilities.
The power of Water Element's Water Severing Blade and Earth Elemental Flat Rock Blade also increased greatly, becoming Xu Feng's main combat weapons.
With Earth Element at Great Achievement, Xu Feng leaped into the depths of the sea, wielding the Flat Rock Blade and slashing dozens of times underwater, experiencing newfound power. After three attempts, Xu Feng used both the Flat Rock Blade and Water Severing Blade with ease, showcasing their full power.
That morning, Xu Feng unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon once again and flew deeper into the Abandoned Sea.
The sun rose above the surface of the sea, large and warm, while several seabirds spread their wings and glided gracefully through the air.
Xu Feng soared three hundred meters high, cautious not to get too close to the water surface, as the calm sea could be breached by a beast at any moment.
This time he flew fifty miles and found a relatively large Green Island. This Green Island spanned twenty miles in circumference, with towering dense trees and exotic flowers and fruits everywhere.
Xu Feng landed on the island and picked a few exotic fruits to eat. They were full of spiritual energy; if a Foundation Period Disciple consumed them, they would likely advance immediately. The overseas area was rich in resources as well.
The island rises more than two hundred meters above sea level, and no matter how high the tide rises, it will not be submerged. There is a clearing halfway up the mountain, and a cave has been carved into it. The surroundings are neat and comfortable, indicating that someone is residing there, and it seems they have not left.
According to the rules, Xu Feng must greet the previous occupants as a sign of respect. If they are not welcome, he can only look for another place. Of course, there is another option: to eliminate them. Naturally, if things go wrong, he could end up being eliminated instead.
Anyone capable of establishing a cave in the Abandoned Sea is certainly not someone to be underestimated.
Xu Feng flew a hundred meters away from the cave entrance and called out loudly, "Xu Feng from the Xu family, passing through this area. Please forgive any disturbance."
There was no response from inside the cave. Xu Feng felt secretly pleased; no one was there, which was good. He had come out to practice his swordsmanship, and both the Dao Artifact Butcher's Blade and Gale Sword Formation were not meant to be seen by others. If someone were present, he would have to go elsewhere.
As Xu Feng flew closer and extended his spiritual sense to probe inside, he indeed found no aura of cultivators within the cave.
Just as he was about to enter the cave for a closer look, he suddenly heard three loud booms from afar, followed by three columns of water shooting up into the air.
The first to emerge from the water were two Transformation Period beasts, followed by a human cultivator. This person wore a Silver Robe and wielded a Supreme Treasure Sword, single-handedly engaging in a Great War against the two Transformation Period beasts.
The two beasts were severely injured and had already reverted to their original forms: one was a gray-backed Tiger Shark, and the other was an Eight-Legged Giant Octopus. One fin of the Tiger Shark had been severed, leaving the octopus with only four of its eight legs.
The two beasts burst out of the water and immediately fled towards the deep sea, while the Silver-Clad Man pursued them relentlessly. His sword danced in the air, creating strands of force that spread across the sky like a gentle rain falling onto the surface of the sea.
"Light Rain Tower?" Xu Feng recognized this technique from some markings he found in Not Returning Child's Yuan Ying; it was clearly the Drizzle Sword Technique from Light Rain Tower, which ranks second among Xian Dao sects.
Light Rain Tower is renowned in Zheguo but rarely engages in conflicts within Xian Dao, much like Golden Stone Workshop. It is said that the boss behind Jingcheng Auction, Zheguo's largest auction house, is from Light Rain Tower.
Businesspeople prioritize profit and naturally do not engage in unnecessary disputes.
Xu Feng was less certain about this; Shennong Valley also sells medicine but secretly ambushed Great Achievement Stage Cultivators from Wuwei Academy.
The two beasts clearly found themselves with no escape route underwater; that’s why they broke through to the surface. They were clever enough to split up and flee in opposite directions.
"Slash!" The gray-backed Tiger Shark was cut in half at the waist and died on the spot.
The Octopus was so frightened that it lost control, its remaining four legs flailing desperately. However, the Silver-Clad Man was incredibly fast; after slaying the Tiger Shark, he turned back and caught up to the Octopus in just a few breaths.
"Slash!" The Octopus let out a tragic cry as it was cut in half by a single sword strike.
Xu Feng watched in shock, realizing how astonishingly skilled this person's swordsmanship was. If he were to face it himself, he would barely be able to withstand ten strikes.
The Drizzle Sword Technique, recognized as the number one sword technique in Xian Dao, truly lived up to its reputation.
The Silver-Clad Man glanced at Xu Feng before leaping into the sea to retrieve the demon cores and precious items from the Tiger Shark and Octopus. He then flew back to the island and appeared before Xu Feng.
"Xu Feng of the Xu family, I pay my respects to you, senior."
"You are the Xu Feng who challenged Silverbeard?" The Silver-Clad Man asked with a slight movement. "My name is Roman."
