Ye Kai stood atop Jade Mountain, gazing at the heavy black dot on the horizon where the sea met the sky.
In the distance, the nearest market to Great Wilderness Island was already visible.
Since taking Lin Wunan as his disciple, their group had begun to slow their pace. On one hand, it was due to Hu Qianfang's injuries not having fully healed; on the other hand, it was because Lin Wunan's rapid growth in strength posed a potential risk if not tempered properly.
Throughout their journey, they had not only slain numerous Sea Monsters but had also collected a fair amount of demon cores and various Material Treasures.
Perhaps this child truly possessed the 'protagonist's fate,' continuously slaying monsters for cores and occasionally discovering some excellent Material Treasures and Spiritual Herb Elixirs along the way.
He was practically a walking fortune, reaping rewards at every turn. Even though he had already reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage, he continued to make progress, with one foot nearly stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage.
Han Xiaoshan was also not to be outdone. Although he did not level up as quickly as Lin Wunan while fighting monsters, he was making steady progress. His foundation had been solidified to a level where even cultivators of the same rank could hardly match him.
Ordinary Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivators would face dire consequences against him unless they possessed powerful magical artifacts.
Not only did he have the Dual Polar Magnetic Ring bestowed by Ye Kai, but he also carried four or five top-tier magical artifacts. One artifact embryo, the Ruyi Golden Crown, would make even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from a superpower weep upon seeing his wealth.
This was downright unfair; he was armed to the teeth.
Lin Wunan's wealth was no less impressive. He had the Dual Polar Magnetic Ring, his own top-tier magical artifact Radiant Pearl, the artifact embryo Azure Screen Seal, and several magical robes gifted by Ye Kai.
Together, they could easily overpower Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivators, and even those in the mid-Nascent Soul stage would flee in frustration.
At that moment, Ye Kai focused on a direction ahead and activated his Multifunctional Detector. Immediately, he saw that area being ravaged by Void Thunder Calamity.
"Could someone be attempting to transcend tribulation here?" Ye Kai raised an eyebrow in confusion.
What kind of audacity did it take to dare to Transcend Tribulation in this place?
He carefully sensed the void in that direction, faintly detecting other magical fluctuations. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in that area was chaotic and turbulent, making it difficult for him to perceive the source of the power that fluctuated erratically.
After a moment, he smiled and said to Gongyang Zhenjun and the others, "Gongyang, Yuan Jun, Qian Fang, can you guess what is transcending tribulation over there?"
"Your Excellency, the spiritual energy ahead is in turmoil, and my divine sense cannot penetrate it, but I can still make out a few details," one of them replied.
"Your Excellency, it is a Rainbow Serpent transcending tribulation," another added.
Before Gongyang Zhenjun could speak, She Yuanjun and Hu Qianfang spoke almost simultaneously.
As soon as they finished speaking, both turned to look at each other in surprise.
"Mr. She, Mr. Hu, I'm curious—how powerful is that Rainbow Serpent?" Han Xiaoshan chimed in with a grin.
Lin Wunan, already somewhat influenced by Han Xiaoshan's enthusiasm, had his eyes shining brightly. Clearly, he too was caught up in the thrill of leveling up against monsters. He stared intently at the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs while exuding an imposing aura.
"The Rainbow Serpent isn't particularly formidable; it's just that you should be wary of its venom. It possesses a divine ability that releases a toxic mist with strong corrosive properties. You must avoid getting contaminated," Hu Qianfang explained in detail.
Although both She Yuanjun and Hu Qianfang were Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, they did not dare to boast in front of these two individuals. After all, they were disciples of Your Excellency Ye Kai and held a status that was not inferior to theirs—perhaps even superior.
With such a powerful master guiding them, it was easy to imagine what their future achievements would be like.
After some thought, She Yuanjun added, "One thing you should notice is that this Rainbow Serpent is different from ordinary snakes. Although its seven-inch position remains unchanged, the scales at that location are unusual; they are not only tough but also possess a Shattered Soul Strike that can only be used once in a lifetime."
Lin Wunan and Han Xiaoshan's eyes lit up at this revelation.
The Rainbow Serpent has a life-or-death trump card?!
The two looked at Ye Kai simultaneously without saying a word, simply gazing in anticipation.
Ye Kai was bemused, having easily guessed the thoughts of his two disciples. He lightly tapped his forehead and said, "Why don't you go over there and seek your fortune? You might find something extra."
"We will hold the fort for you two," he added.
Lin Wunan and his companion immediately accepted the task, following the guidance of a jade talisman as they headed toward the chaotic area where the Rainbow Serpent resided.
Meanwhile, Ye Kai leisurely traveled with three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
This sea area, filled with turbulent Spiritual Energy, was not devoid of other cultivators. However, it was nominally still under the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect and Floating Island. Thus, upon seeing representatives from both factions present, they refrained from making a move.
The Boundless Sea stretched endlessly; even though many people had gathered here, it was merely a drop in the ocean compared to the vastness of the entire sea.
Only locations rich in treasures attracted numerous cultivators.
For instance, in the space ahead, a massive Rainbow Serpent that had been cultivating for a thousand years was preparing to Transcend Tribulation and achieve Nascent Soul.
This Siren was different from ordinary demon beasts; unless they Transcended Tribulation to become an infant, their intelligence remained mostly chaotic, akin to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
The serpent measured over a hundred meters long and displayed a stunning combination of red, silver, and black colors. It looked truly magnificent.
However, typically, the more vibrant the colors, the more toxic they were. Such vivid hues could even be lethal to those at the Nascent Soul Stage, causing Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to retreat in fear from its terrifying poison.
The Rainbow Serpent occasionally darted into the air before diving back into the sea surface. At times it floated in midair, hissing threateningly in an attempt to scare off the increasingly numerous cultivators.
The presence of so many cultivators had already made it nervous. It opened its mouth and released a large cloud of dark green poisonous mist that quickly enveloped an area spanning several dozen miles.
Just as everyone was eager to make their move and seize this Rainbow Serpent—either to refine it into a magical artifact embryo or use it as a guardian spirit beast—two equally radiant beams of divine light approached from afar.
Four cleverly crafted rings emitted Treasure Light, with Spiritual Energy overflowing around them.
A large number of cultivators gathered here, witnessing the scene before them. However, instead of intervening, they all let out strange cries and transformed into streaks of Spirit Light, scattering in all directions.
"This seems to be the Dual Polarity Magnetic Divine Light!!!"
"Although the Rainbow Serpent that has cultivated for a thousand years is excellent material for refining weapons, it's a pity that the timing isn't right. Let's observe for a bit longer; if things don't look good, we’ll leave immediately."
"What do you know? Did you see that? The Dual Polarity Magnetic Divine Light is the signature Divine Ability of the sect master of the Star God Sect. Even a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator wouldn’t dare to confront it head-on, let alone a Primordial Spirit True Monarch."
"Wait, look at the Sea Surface!!!"
Just as many were filled with trepidation and couldn't help but turn to flee, someone with sharp eyes suddenly noticed that when the Dual Polarity Magnetic Divine Light broke through the dark green poisonous mist, they caught sight of the Sea Surface still boiling.
"This clearly indicates that some kind of Spiritual Treasure is about to be born. Even if a Powerful Senior intervenes, we shouldn't act rashly; it wouldn't hurt to watch. Who knows, we might even seize some opportunity!"
"Exactly, now we just need to wait for that Spiritual Treasure to fully mature!"
Just then, someone exclaimed in surprise, "The light is flickering more violently!"
At this moment, among the many cultivators, several from the Great Wilderness Sword Sect and Supreme Void Palace's affiliated forces began to unleash various methods—Flying Swords and Golden Swords were sent out as messages.
