Chapter 1766: Potential Hidden Dangers Liu Wuyai

In a certain area of the Coral Sea, the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda floated high in the sky.

Thousands of cultivators, ranging from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul stages, gathered on a nearby small island. Their expressions varied, showing envy, excitement, and curiosity.

Most of them had only heard of the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda but had never seen it firsthand. This was because the pagoda appeared only once every few centuries, and each time it materialized in a different sea region. The South Sea alone had dozens of such regions, making it difficult for many low-level cultivators, who spent their entire lives in one region, to ever witness the pagoda.

"Fairy Chen, since the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda has appeared in the Coral Sea this time, hasn't your Wood Dragon Pavilion sent anyone to attempt its challenges?"

A white-haired elder in a green robe addressed a graceful woman in a green dress. The woman's sleeve bore the emblem of a green pavilion.

The woman in the green dress was none other than Chen Yue, Chen Yilong's only daughter.

When Wang Changsheng first arrived in the South Sea to develop his influence, he met Chen Yilong by chance.

Centuries passed, and much had changed. The Wood Dragon Pavilion still existed, but Chen Yilong and his wife had passed away. Chen Yue was now the pavilion master. The Wood Dragon Pavilion remained a small sect, with fewer than five Core Formation cultivators in total.

"We don't have an Immortal Suppressing Token, so how can we enter? We're just here to watch the spectacle."

Chen Yue chuckled softly. Without an Immortal Suppressing Token, it was impossible to enter the pagoda and attempt its trials; one could only observe from outside.

"With the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda appearing in the Coral Sea this time, I wonder how many major powers will rush here. I recall Senior Gongsun from Longevity Island clearing the thirty-sixth level and obtaining a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. I wonder if anyone will manage to clear the thirty-sixth level this time."

The green-robed elder, his face full of curiosity, stroked his beard and gazed towards the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda.

"Oh, someone has reached the thirty-fourth level! That's incredible!"

The thirty-fourth level of the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda lit up, clearly indicating someone had reached it.

A cultivator was currently attempting the trial, and the pagoda's spiritual light flickered continuously.

On the thirty-fourth level, Liu Wuya's face was pale, and he was gasping for breath. Reaching this level had not been easy for him; several of his magic treasures had been destroyed. Unfortunately, the thirty-third level did not contain any Nascent Soul formation spiritual items. If it had, he would not have continued deeper into the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda.

Ripples spread through the void, and Zhou Yunxiao appeared, his expression indifferent.

As soon as Zhou Yunxiao materialized, he immediately swung the red long saber in his hand, striking the void. A piercing saber hum echoed, and a crimson saber qi, over a hundred zhang long, swept forth, striking towards Liu Wuya.

Liu Wuya, also a saber cultivator, quickly cast spells to defend himself.

A red streak of light flew in from the distance. Before long, it stopped, revealing a red dragon boat, over ten zhang long. The dragon boat glowed with flickering spiritual light, clearly a flying spirit treasure. A team of cultivators stood aboard, led by a tall young woman in a red dress.

"It's someone from the Baili family. The Baili family is so fast."

Someone recognized the origin of this group of cultivators. The Baili family, skilled in alchemy, was one of the Ten Great Immortal Cultivation Families of the South Sea.

The young woman in the red dress stared intently at the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, her gaze fervent.

The young woman in the red dress was Baili Yunying, a late Nascent Soul cultivator and a rising star of the Baili family, as well as Baili Yunlong's cousin.

The Baili family had missed the pagoda's previous two appearances, primarily due to the vast distances involved. This time, however, they had made it.

A deafening dragon roar suddenly erupted, and Baili Yunying turned her head to look towards the distant horizon.

A white flood dragon, covered in dense scales, appeared on the distant horizon. The hundred-zhang-long dragon exuded a terrifying pressure. A man and a woman stood on its head; they were Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingling.

"A fourth-tier flood dragon! It's Fairy Bailing from Azure Lotus Island."

Someone recognized their identities. In the entire South Sea cultivation world, only Myriad Beasts Island and the Wang family of Azure Lotus Island possessed fourth-tier flood dragons, making them easily identifiable.

The Ice Wind Flood Dragon stopped near the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda. Baili Yunying bowed politely and said, "I, Baili Yunying, greet both fellow Daoists. Why have only you two come? Where are your younger generations?"

"We're just the vanguard; our younger generations will arrive soon."

Wang Qingshan explained with a smile.

"It's quite lively today! So many fellow Daoists have arrived."

A hearty voice suddenly rang out. From the distant horizon, a sharp bird cry was heard, and a golden light appeared.

The golden light moved quickly. Before long, it stopped near the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, revealing a golden crow over ten zhang in size. The golden crow had emerald green eyes. Gongsun Yang and dozens of other cultivators stood on its back.

"Greetings, Senior Gongsun."

Wang Qingshan and the others' expressions subtly changed, and they quickly bowed.

They had not expected Gongsun Yang to lead the team himself this time.

Gongsun Yang nodded, his gaze falling on Wang Qingshan. He asked kindly, "Young friend Wang, how is True Monarch Taihao recently? It's been over a century since I last saw him."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Gongsun. Ninth Uncle is doing well."

Wang Qingshan replied respectfully. In terms of fame, Gongsun Yang's reputation was greater than Wang Changsheng's; he was the first Core Formation cultivator in ten millennia to clear the thirty-sixth level.

Gongsun Yang nodded, his gaze swiftly sweeping over the Baili family disciples. He then asked Baili Yunying, "I thought Brother Yunlong would be leading the team. I didn't expect it to be Fairy Baili."

He had dealings with Baili Yunlong and was aware of Baili Yunlong's talent, so his address was naturally more familiar.

"My cousin is currently preoccupied with some matters, so I've taken the lead on this trip."

Baili Yunying replied honestly.

"The Immortal Suppressing Pagoda has appeared; this is your opportunity. Go and attempt the trials!"

Gongsun Yang instructed, his tone solemn.

His success in obtaining a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure last time was partly due to him carrying a spirit treasure. This time, Myriad Beasts Island had dispatched fifteen disciples, three of whom carried spirit treasures to attempt the trials. He hoped they could clear the thirty-sixth level. Obtaining another Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure from the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda would ensure Myriad Beasts Island's prosperity for several millennia.

"Yes, Martial Grand-Uncle (Master)."

Gongsun Yang's disciples and grand-disciples assented in unison. The fifteen disciples from Myriad Beasts Island each took out their Immortal Suppressing Tokens and infused them with spiritual power.

After a blinding spiritual light illuminated, twelve of Myriad Beasts Island's disciples vanished.

"You all should go attempt the trials as well!"

Baili Yunying instructed. Thirteen disciples from the Baili family assented in unison. They each took out their Immortal Suppressing Tokens, and after a blinding spiritual light illuminated, they too vanished.

On the thirty-fourth level, Liu Wuya's body was covered in bloodstains, his aura weak. His clothes were soaked in blood, and a gruesome cut on his left shoulder revealed bone.

"Haha, I've finally cleared the thirty-fifth level!"

Liu Wuya's expression was excited. He had used every available method and finally defeated Zhou Yunxiao, though he himself was severely wounded.

A golden light illuminated the void, revealing a golden jade table with over a dozen items, including Nascent Soul formation spiritual items and spirit treasures.

Liu Wuya selected a Nascent Soul formation spiritual item, a Blazing Sun Golden Saber spirit treasure, and a bottle of healing pills. A blinding golden light flared beneath his feet. Liu Wuya felt his body tighten, and his vision went black.

When he regained consciousness, he was hovering above a desolate island.

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Wang family, just you wait."

Liu Wuya thought to himself, his expression grim. He knew very well that seeking revenge now, unless he advanced to the Soul Transformation stage, would be suicidal.

His immediate priority was to heal his injuries and then attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Without absolute certainty, he would not seek revenge against the Wang family.
