Chapter 8: Undercurrents (Part 1)

  Endless desolate wilderness near Shui Lou Tai, first sent out a large number of demon beasts to guard the place where the Qin family used to live.

  Yanjing City, the place where the Qin family had lived in splendor for millions of years, has seen a sharp increase in population over the past few years, with most being strangers. Among these strangers, more than half are endless desolate beasts transformed by the Endless Desolation, and the current central controller of the Endless Desolation, 'White Tiger', also quietly arrived in Yanjing City.

  The master of Pengmo Island, the leader of the Dragon Clan, and the leaders of the three major sects of Tenglong Continent all rushed to this Yanjing City. As long as Dongfang Yun appears, he will not be able to escape the surveillance of these people.

  These ordinary people still don't know that these strangers in Yanjing City are even more powerful than the legendary immortals, and they continue to live their lives as usual. The happiest ones should be the owners of the wine houses and inns, whose businesses are booming every day.

  The protagonist of this incident, Dongfang Yun, first cultivated immortality and then entered the demonic path. Neither immortal cultivators nor demon cultivators liked him. However, Dongfang Yun's innate talent was indeed not bad. He had cultivated alone and had already reached the level of a tenth-tribulation loose demon, making him an extraordinary expert on the Dragon Ascending Continent.

  The treasure map left by the Qin family was indeed obtained by Dongfang Yun. After obtaining the treasure map, Dao Fa Zong did not know that it was the treasure map of the Qin family. He inquired everywhere to verify and it was during this process that he was discovered by Dongfang Yun and suffered a disaster that destroyed his entire clan.

  The top figures of the Zixuan Star Realm have all gathered in Yanjing City. They believe that the treasure must be near Yanjing City, and a piece of information left behind by the Dao Fa Sect before it was destroyed also proves that the map indeed depicts Yanjing City from millions of years ago. The Dao Fa Sect had also inferred from the location that this is the treasure of the Qin family, and now it's too late to cover it up.

  Dongfang Yun had also arrived at the Submerged Dragon Continent, but he was not in Yanjing City, but rather in the Qinglian Mountain Range thousands of miles outside of Yanjing City. After ten years of research, Dongfang Yun confirmed that the Qin family's treasure was not located in the center of the map, Yanjing City, but rather on the edge of the map, in the Qinglian Mountain Range. Specifically, where in the Qinglian Mountain Range it was, Dongfang Yun had yet to investigate clearly.

  When the Hidden Dragon Continent was in turmoil, Hong Jun and Gu Pan had also begun to wander around the Rioting Star Sea. Ordinary fierce beasts were not even worthy of being their opponents, and most of the experts had gone to the Hidden Dragon Continent, so they didn't encounter any real opponents. Soon, the two arrived at the third largest island in the Rioting Star Sea, 'Black Wind Island'.

  Heifeng Island, although the third largest island in the turbulent Star Sea, has far fewer powerful experts and loose cultivators than Pengmo Island and Lianyun Island. However, the island masters of Heifeng Island have always been extremely powerful. The current island master, Kuang Lang, is an eleven-tribulation loose demon, and his true body is even a high-grade divine beast, the three-eyed wolf. Even ordinary twelve-tribulation loose demons and scattered immortals are no match for him.

  Mad Wolf took half of the island's top masters with Pengmo Island Master Feng Xi and Lianyun Island Master Lian Cheng to the Qianlong Continent. The highest cultivation on the island was only an eighth-grade lower god beast, managing everything on the island.

  Hong Jun and Gu Pan directly entered from the island's landing place, presented their visiting cards according to normal visiting procedures, and then waited at the door.

  This was still their first formal visit, on the previous small islands, they both went up directly, and there were fewer disputes. In a few days, Hong Jun's Seal of Gods added two more scattered demon true spirits, if not for most of the time Gu Pan took action, there might be even more true spirits.

  "Secondly, our island master is not here, you can go back!" The two of them were about to leave the island when the demon beast at the entrance looked at them disdainfully without even a glance.

  "This Daoist friend, the Island Master is not here, but the Deputy Island Master will do, we have long admired the reputation of Hei Feng Island and came to visit, surely you won't let us leave like this?" Gu Pan said, seeing Hong Jun's face change.

  "The deputy island master is not here either. Besides, can you see the island master and deputy island master whenever you want? Hurry up!" The guardian disciple said, then muttered to himself: "One is in a tribulation period, one is in an empty period, they are not even as good as me, yet they still think about seeing the island master!"

  The majority of the Three Islands of the Riotous Star Sea are loose cultivators, and this gatekeeper disciple is a second-tribulation loose demon. The lowest living on the island are above four tribulations, and those in the Tribulation and Void stages are naturally not taken seriously by them.

  "Xiao Jun, the island owner is not here, let's go first!"

  "Wait, little brother, don't be in a hurry. I'd like to ask, where did the Island Master and Deputy Island Master go? When will they return, so we can come back another day to pay our respects?" Hong Jun handed over a mid-grade Yuan Spiritual Stone with a smile, asking the guardian disciple.

  He took the Yuanshen stone from his disciple and directly put it into his storage ring. He was no longer as cold to the two of them as he was earlier: "Well, little brother is quite sensible after all. I'll tell you this then. The Island Master and Deputy Island Master have both gone to the Qianlong Continent. As for when they can return, that's not something we can know. If you really want to see the Island Master, I advise you to find a place to cultivate properly first. Maybe after reaching the fourth calamity, you might be able to enter the island to cultivate."

  "Both the Island Master and the Deputy Island Master have gone to the Profound Dragon Continent?"

  "No, it's not. Half of the masters on the island have gone, I heard they're after some treasure of the Qin family, all three major islands are there, anyway we don't understand. Alas, this time who knows how many people will die again in the treasure hunt!"

  "Treasure of the Qin family?" Hong Jun was stunned. If there's one thing that could make the three major islands of the Violent Star Sea move together on the Profound Dragon Continent, it would be his own Qin family. But Father never mentioned leaving any treasure on Zi Xuan Island?

  "Xiao Jun, why don't we also return to the Profound Dragon Continent and see what kind of treasure it is that has attracted so many people!" Gu Pan pulled at Hong Jun who was still in a daze.

  "Ah, return to the Dragon Continent? Good, Xiao Pan's suggestion is great, let's go now!"

  Yanjing City, the largest wine house Yanjing Wine House, three floors of other people were driven away, only one table was seated, this table of people no matter who appeared in the cultivation world would cause a stir, all sitting together, for them, it was still the first time.

  "Mr. Bai, you are the first to arrive in Yanjing City, and this is also where your people are most numerous. Is there any good news that you can share with everyone?" Dragon Clan leader Fang Dong said with a smile to the young man in white clothes at the table.

  White Tiger, the true body is the super divine beast White Jade Divine Tiger, itself is also one of the twelve scattered demons, controlling all the demon beasts in the entire endless Honghuang, and on this table, it is also one of the most powerful forces.

  "It's not right for you to say that, I only arrived a day earlier than you, Fang Zong, and the information I got is no more than yours. But it was Feng Dao Zhu who arrived even earlier than me!" Bai Hu smiled slightly, but his gaze fell on the only woman at the table, 'Feng Xi'.

  Pengmo Island's owner, 'Feng Xi', is actually a super divine beast Phoenix, the Twelve Calamities' scattered demon. Feng Xi looks very beautiful, with the unique temperament of the phoenix tribe, making her look even more charming and coquettish.

  "It's not right for Director Bai to say that. Our people didn't arrive any later than yours, did they? I arrived early, but still didn't gain anything like everyone else."

  There were only three people at this table, except for the dragon tribe's patriarch Fang Deng being a high-level divine beast, both White Tiger and Feng Xi were super divine beasts. However, Fang Deng had the entire dragon tribe backing him up, all members of the dragon tribe were divine beasts, and their power was not to be underestimated.

  "Feng Island Master, Bai Daren, as far as I know, the three sects of Tenglong Continent have secretly joined forces this time, with the goal of competing with us for the Qin family's treasure. What do you two think?" The Dragon Clan has not produced a five-clawed golden dragon since Fang Tian flew up, nor has it had any super divine beasts with variations. For thousands of years, the clan leader has always been a member of the upper-level divine beast of the Dragon Clan.

  "Is the clown's jump worth worrying about? When did the Dragon Clan become so timid?" The White Tiger smiled and poured a cup of wine for Feng Xi, but not for Fang Dong.

  "White Lord, you, you are insulting our entire Dragon Clan!" Fang Dong angrily stood up and glared at White Tiger.

  The dragon tribe no longer has a super divine beast, but the endless wilderness has produced one. The status of the endless wilderness is now no longer below that of the dragon tribe. The status of Peng Demon Island has never changed, and Peng Demon Island has never been short of super divine beasts.

  "Feng Xi, don't get agitated, I believe Lord Bai didn't mean it that way. However, now that the words are out, even if the three major sects of Tenglong Continent were to join forces, could they possibly shake the position of your Dragon Clan?" Feng Xi's face always wore a smile, but those familiar with her knew that despite her delicate and beautiful appearance, she was ruthless when it came to taking lives. On Pengmo Island, everyone trusted her, and originally there were two vice-island masters, but one had been killed by Feng Xi for not submitting to her authority, leaving only one vice-island master now.

  "Hmph, we dragon clan will not be afraid of them, but also don't want them to come out and stir up trouble for us at critical moments!"

  "This time, the Qin family's divine artifact also has a top-grade immortal artifact. We must get it. Our Endless Wilderness still has one controller in the hands of the Qin family. Their divine artifact and top-grade immortal artifact can be considered as compensation for us!"

  "Master Bai, Pengmo Island also has another island master in the hands of the Qin family. The divine artifact of the Qin family naturally belongs to us as well!" Feng Xi said with a smile to White Tiger.

  "Master of Phoenix Island, if there are two divine artifacts, you and I can each have one. If there's only one, I don't want the top-grade immortal artifact, just a divine artifact will do, is that acceptable?"

  "Bai Daren, and Fang Zu are still here. I think it's whoever gets it in the end that counts. As for the people of Tenglong Continent, let them help us find out where Dongfang Yun is!"

  The three had a simple meeting without any results, Fang Dang was even more opposed to Bai Hu's opinion, but didn't want to turn against them before getting the divine artifact. This time, the Qin family's treasure, Fang Dang brought several hundred people from his tribe, determined to get the treasure, even if Bai Hu is a super divine beast, he couldn't handle the hundreds of mid-level divine beasts above eight calamities in his own tribe.

  The three representatives did not negotiate a result here, but the Tenglong Continent received news from Dongfang Yun. Several cultivators accidentally passed by Qinglian Mountain Range and found an abnormal place. When they went to check, several people were killed by Dongfang Yun, but before they died, they also sent out information. After Ziyangmen received the news, it did not inform Xingchen Pavilion and Yinyue Mountain, and Lanzu True Person took a few disciples to hurry to Qinglian Mountain Range in secret.
