Chapter 2: Sea Soul Electric Eel

With the wind at their backs, Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui sat facing each other.
“Qu Yi, this time, as we leave Tianfeng Star, I hope to go to Tianhua Star,” Qing Wu Gui said, determination flashing in her eyes.
“Qing Wu Gui, could there be another treasure cave on Tianhua Star?” Qu Yi asked eagerly.
One was the Scatter Demon Cave on Liupan Star, where Qing Wu Gui obtained the “Asura Demon Manual”; the other was the Spirit Talisman Cave on Tianfeng Star, where she got the “Spirit Talisman Treasury” along with many talismans. Qu Yi was already addicted and wished Qing Wu Gui had more of such treasures.
Qing Wu Gui took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Qu Yi, I told you back on Cuimu Star. When I was on Tianfeng Star, I was pursued by Yang Tianqi, a disciple from Cangyang Valley. I’ve now found out that Yang Tianqi has gone to Tianhua Star.”
Qu Yi nodded, understanding Qing Wu Gui’s intentions. On Cuimu Star, he had indeed heard that Qing Wu Gui had been poisoned, limiting her to the strength of a late-stage Golden Core stage—this was done by Yang Tianqi’s men.
“Good, since it’s to see an old friend, I certainly support you. Let’s head to Tianhua Star right away,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Since they were leaving Tianfeng Star anyway, Qu Yi didn’t mind where they went. If it could also help Qing Wu Gui relieve her worries, that would be even better.
At that moment, Bai Man and Mu Han came out of the room, holding hands. The two beautiful women—one in pink and the other in white—made the entire courtyard brighter.
As soon as they met, the two got along very well, acting like sisters.
Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui both gazed affectionately at their partners, feeling a sense of happiness well up in their hearts.
……
In the Western District of Jiemo Island, there was a tall and magnificent pavilion called Bafang You, where the space teleportation array was installed.
Previously, when Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui came from Cuimu Star, they were directly teleported to this pavilion.
Now, they returned to Bafang You once again.
Qu Yi paid with spirit stones and obtained a teleportation ticket, then he and Qing Wu Gui went outside Room 72. Qu Yi placed the ticket in a slot, and the door automatically opened, allowing them to enter the room.
Inside, there was only one teleportation array, with six transparent diamond-shaped crystals embedded in its six corners.
Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui stepped into the space teleportation array, and Qu Yi infused a trace of his vital energy into the crystal stones, activating the array.

A white light sphere appeared instantly, enveloping Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui. With a flash of light, the two vanished.
Tianhua Star is roughly the same size as Tianfeng Star; in the realm of cultivation, both are considered medium-sized planets.
On Tianhua Star, there is only one continent called Tianhua Land, which has a slightly rounded shape, with oceans covering the rest of the surface. Thus, from space, the entire planet appears light blue.
In the eastern seas of Tianhua Land, there is a large island called Jiemo Island. Of course, in the western seas, there is also a large island called Yingxian Island.
At that moment, in the central area of Jiemo Island, within a magnificent pavilion named Bafang You, in room number 72, Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui appeared on a teleportation array.
Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui had officially arrived on Tianhua Star.
……
After Qu Yi left Tianfeng Star, a group of powerful cultivators at the Divination stage arrived there.
There were five cultivation sects: Ziyang Palace, Jiuhan Gate, Zhuhuo Sect, Qingyi Gate, and Jinding Sect. And five demon cultivation sects: Baixue Valley, Heiguo Sect, Baiyue Palace, Yinfeng Sect, and Wanlei Cliff. Of these ten sects, except Qingyi Gate, which was not attacked, the other nine were destroyed.
Behind each of these ten sects was an even larger sect providing support.
The leaders of these ten sects were challenged by advanced demon beasts from the Sea of Immortals and Demons and went to the islands in that sea to fight, hoping to advance to the early Divination stage.
This great battle lasted for a year. One day, the ten oceanic demon cultivators suddenly disappeared all at once, and only then did the leaders realize they might have fallen victim to a conspiracy.
So, the ten leaders rushed back to their respective sects and discovered the devastation they had suffered. They immediately asked their backing sects to come and punish the demon cultivators and capture those who had participated in the battles.
Now, on Jiemo Island and Yingxian Island in Tianfeng Star, five groups each had arrived—these were the sects backing the ten original sects.
Of course, those demon cultivators who had taken part in the massacre had all left Tianfeng Star and gone to various smaller planets. The envoys from the south and north also left Tianfeng Star, disappearing without a trace.
Thus, these ten groups vented their anger on the oceanic demon cultivators in the Sea of Immortals and Demons, as it was these cultivators who had lured the leaders of the ten sects away, causing them to suffer such disasters.
As a result, the entire Sea of Immortals and Demons was thrown into chaos, with all the powerful demon cultivators killed.

These ten groups finally understood that all these plans had been orchestrated by the demon cultivators, and they immediately reported to their respective sects. The sects then passed the information on to the seven cultivation and demon cultivation sects on Liupan Star. From the news gathered from various parts of the cultivation world, these seven sects finally realized that the three demon cultivator sects were carrying out a grand plan across the entire cultivation world to seize the territories and resources of both cultivation and demon cultivation factions.

Thus, on Liupan Star, the four cultivation sects, three demon cultivation sects, and three demon cultivator sects began to compete for control of the various planets in the cultivation world.

The entire cultivation world fell into chaos due to the struggle among these ten most powerful sects.

……

On Tianhua Star and Jiemo Island, the layout was basically the same as that of Jiemo Island on Tianfeng Star—four urban areas and one central area.

Qu Yi and Qing Wugui walked around Jiemo Island and got a general understanding of its layout. Then they realized that under the rule of the Demon Path Alliance, all Jiemo Islands had similar structures, with urban areas and central zones, as well as similar types of industries.

After investigating for some time on Jiemo Island, Qu Yi and Qing Wugui finally learned about the power dynamics across the Tianhua Continent.

Tianhua Continent was roughly circular in shape, with a major mountain range running vertically from north to south in the middle, called the Heavenly Punishment Mountains. It was so high that no one could climb it, hence its name. To the east of the Heavenly Punishment Mountains lay the domain of demon cultivators, with the three strongest sects being the Soul-Severing Sect, the Netherfire Cave, and the Immortal-Killing Valley. To the west lay the domain of cultivation practitioners, with the three strongest sects being the Golden Soul Sect, the Ten Thousand Green Lakes, and the Primordial Fire Sect.

The most likely place for Yang Tianqi to go was the Immortal-Killing Valley, as he came from Cangyang Valley, one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, which had an indirect connection to the Immortal-Killing Valley. If Yang Tianqi wanted to make moves on Liupan Star, he would surely go to the Immortal-Killing Valley to borrow strength.

Moreover, Qu Yi and Qing Wugui heard rumors that sea soul electric eels had recently appeared in the oceans of Liupan Star, prompting many people to go searching in the seas.

Therefore, Qu Yi and Qing Wugui guessed that Yang Tianqi was likely there for the sea soul electric eels as well.

The two returned to the inn where they were staying, and Qu Yi asked Qing Wugui, “Qing Wu, when Yang Tianqi pursued you back then, he was still in the later stage of the Yuan Ying phase. Do you think his cultivation level has now advanced to the early stage of the Outward Emergence phase?”

Qing Wugui sneered, “Given Yang Tianqi’s status in Cangyang Valley, he must have access to plenty of resources. I think he has definitely already advanced to the early stage of the Outward Emergence phase.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi smiled easily and felt relieved. If Yang Tianqi was indeed found, he would let Qing Wu Gui fight him. If Qing Wu Gui couldn’t kill his enemy, then Qu Yi would take action himself to kill Yang Tianqi.
Qu Yi didn’t care at all about Yang Tianqi’s origin from Cangyang Valley. He wasn’t concerned about offending the top ten cultivation sects; since his friend wanted revenge, he would surely help.
“That’s good. Let’s hurry to Shi Xian Valley. First, let’s see if Yang Tianqi is there. If not, we’ll find out where he went and then chase after him,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Qing Wu Gui nodded.
……
To travel from Jie Mo Island to Tian Hua Continent, one also had to take wind ships.
Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui arrived at the island departure area, where hundreds of wind ships were docked. They spent some spirit stones to board the ships.
A total of five wind ships took off simultaneously, heading toward Tian Hua Continent.
Like most passengers, Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui entered the cabin as soon as they boarded the wind ship and began to cultivate in silence.
Of course, Qu Yi also had to make use of the time to scan the formation. Since these wind ships crossed the ocean, the journey would take a month.
Ten days passed, and the five wind ships continued to fly over the ocean at high speed.
Suddenly, the alarm bells on all five ships rang loudly, and they stopped in mid-air, seemingly encountering a powerful obstacle. Naturally, the thousand passengers on the ships were also awakened from their cultivation.
“Crack!”
A loud noise came from the lead wind ship, as if it had been shattered. At the same time, terrified screams from the cultivators filled the air before the sounds faded away.
On the four ships behind, all the cultivators’ spiritual senses were activated, and they immediately sensed that the lead ship was being attacked by a giant fish-like monster on the ocean surface.
Boom!
A lightning bolt as thick as a person suddenly struck the second wind ship, destroying it completely and killing many of the passengers inside.
“Sea Soul Electric Eel! It’s a Sea Soul Electric Eel!”
By now, the cultivators on the other three ships had already flown higher into the air. Some of them immediately recognized the type of monster floating on the sea—a beast hundreds of meters wide.
The Sea Soul Electric Eel already possessed the strength of an intermediate stage of leaving the body. It not only had unique soul-based spells but also the innate ability to generate lightning, making it extremely powerful.
Upon seeing the Sea Soul Electric Eel, Qu Yi hesitated for a moment before deciding not to go down and kill it, as he didn’t want to reveal his own strength at that time.

At this moment, among the passengers in the air, some cultivators actually possessed advanced levels of cultivation in the state of leaving the body. Upon realizing the cultivation level of the Sea Soul Electric Eel, they immediately wanted to fly down and kill it. However, after attacking the two windward ships and swallowing the corpses of the cultivators who fell into the sea, the Sea Soul Electric Eel quickly dived deep into the ocean. None of the cultivators dared to chase after it into the sea.
