Chapter 238: Pursuers

Fang Chen spent his days on the ocean busy with all sorts of things, but these were also the most fruitful and worriless days he had since becoming a cultivator.

He felt like he had become an adventurer, freely wandering the world without anything to tie him down.

He would watch the sunrise and sunset every day with a clear mind, without having to worry about scheming or be schemed against. Whenever he felt lonely, he would chat with little sword or watch the scenery along the way.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

There was once he encountered a terrible lightning storm. The sky crackled with thunderous booms, and the clouds fell so low that it felt like the lightning was right above him. Coming so close to such a devastating force made him feel insignificant and helpless.

A cultivators Three Calamities and Three Tribulations was a fight against the world, and the lightning tribulation was one of the trials they had to overcome. Without an unwavering heart, their fear would disadvantage them even before the fight began.

Fang Chen knew that it was only a matter of time before he had to go against such terrors if he continued on this journey. He wasnt sure if he would be prepared when that day came.

He had 100 pinnacle Purple Lightning Talismans in his storage ring now, but he had impaired one of the talismans brushes, and he only had 100 Thunderjolt Wooden Talisman Papers and around 100 grams of Nine Tribulations Cinnabar left.

He stopped drawing talismans at that point.

While drawing talismans was part of his training too, it was slower compared to practicing the Five Elements Art. It was enough for him to have 100 pinnacle Purple Lightning Talismans in his storage ring, so it was time to prioritize raising his cultivation.

In the days to come, some of the captains traveling across the ocean would spot a massive black boat being protected by two massive water serpents that were over 300 meters long.

All cultivators could tell that it was the Five Elements Art, but it was still a bizarre sight because they knew how much the Five Elements Art depleted ones spirit ki.

No cultivator would squander their spirit ki in such a manner unless they were certain of their safety. Otherwise, they would be put in a spot if they encountered danger while they were low on spirit ki.

Half a month later, a huge amount of spirit ki began flowing into Fang Chens body. His tenth immortal vein was taking shape!

Liu Mu quietly watched this sight with awe.

In the days he spent following Fang Chen, he came to realize how hardworking Great Xias number one War God Fang was. The latter trained almost 24 hours a day, only occasionally spending some time to rest and chat with him about things he didnt really understand.

Some time later, Fang Chen slowly opened his eyes. Light flashed across his eyes.

He had successfully forged his tenth immortal vein.

According to the nautical map, what was before him was Infernoblazes territory, though Infernoblazes land mass was almost a thousand times larger than Great Xia.

At the same time, three boats appeared behind him. These boats werent as big as the black boat, but they didnt pale too much in comparison. They were all mid Yellow-grade artifacts, with around 10 to 20 daosoul imprints.

Upon noticing the black boat, these three boats hastened their speed, revealing their daosoul imprints.

Fang Chen had the black boat race toward Infernoblazes territory. At the same time, he drew out his soul to observe the other ships.

Our young sect master has been killed, and a Snake-grade boat has been stolen. It doesnt make sense that the culprit isnt at Foundation Establishment. However, the witnesses all claim that the culprit is only at Ki Refinement. What do you think?

A group of Ki Refinement cultivators were gathered on one of the boats.

The weakest of them was at tenth stage Ki Refinement, and a couple of them had even reached twelfth stage Ki Refinement, making them no weaker than the Cloudless Monasterys reverend.

The one who just spoke was a twelfth stage Ki Refinement cultivator who looked to be around seventy to eighty years of age. He had a vicious face, and his left eye was empty, a sign that he had suffered severe injury before.

They said that the Snake-grade boats spirit ki barrier failed to stop the culprits sword. Is there a chance the culprit is a sword cultivator? another twelfth stage Ki Refinement cultivator said.

Sword cultivator?

The faces of the others darkened. They had harbored such guesses too. Who else other than a sword cultivator could achieve such a feat at Ki Refinement?

They knew how formidable the Snake-grade boats defensive prowess was. As long as there were sufficient ki stones, it could even stop a Foundation Establishment for quite some time.

None of them wanted to make an enemy out of a sword cultivator, having heard about their reputation, but the one who had died was their Sea Dragon Sects young sect master, a direct descendent of their Golden Core old ancestor.

They couldnt back down here.

Fang Chens soul eyed them from the sky.

In total, the three boats have 8 twelfth stage Ki Refinement cultivators, and there are many more cultivators at tenth and eleventh stage. If I were to go against so many experts at once Id be put in a spot once I deplete all my Purple Lightning Talismans.

As powerful as little sword was, it needed to be channeled with spirit ki, and he didnt have enough spirit ki to channel it for long. While his spirit ki would swiftly recover afterward, there was a small gap in between. That would be a fatal weakness for him in a prolonged battle.
