‘”Don’t worry, with Lingzhu here, her speed is unparalleled in the world. Ordinary people can’t catch up to her. Besides, I’m only close to you, and outsiders don’t know what our true relationship is. Do they dare to do anything to a Void Realm expert just by guessing?” Wen Xiao said first.

“That’s good. As long as you’re not too close, others won’t be able to guess anything. Just be careful.” Li Qing nodded.

A few days later, the Immortal Gathering finally opened. It was still the same as before. They sat on the Longevity Spirit Turtle and entered the bottom of the ocean, arriving at the Sea God Palace.

Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai had never seen such a scene before, and they couldn’t help but be shocked by the vast and deep depths of the seabed.

What relieved Li Qing was that neither Su Jingxiang nor Dongfang Bingyun had come to participate in Sea God Island’s Immortal Gathering this time.

Dongfang Bingyun’s Pearl City was located along the coast of the East China Sea. To be precise, it might not even be within the East China Sea’s sphere of influence. Not inviting her was a normal thing.

As for Su Jingxiang… Whether she could come to the Flock Immortal Gathering depended entirely on her master, Daoist Wuyou. Perhaps she might be delayed if something happened.

A Void Realm expert could cultivate for several years at a time, so it was uncertain whether they would be able to participate in the Flock Immortal Gathering or not.

The people from the Sea God Palace had already known of Li Qing’s arrival, so they weren’t surprised to see him. This was the first time many Void Realm experts had seen this famous Demon Ancestor Inheritor, and most of them had turned their attention to him.

Saber Demon Li Qing’s cultivation wasn’t too high, but his status was so high that it was difficult for him to not attract attention. Moreover, his ability to stir up trouble was also a bargain. The five domains of the world were full of troubles, and wherever they passed, they would cause bloodshed. A large number of enemies were the most special existences among the people present, and even Demon Saint You Luo was far inferior to him.

It was also in such a peaceful environment in the East China Sea that Li Qing could temporarily live together peacefully with the people from many forces.

“Saber Demon Li Qing’s cultivation seems to have increased again, becoming at the third level of the Void Realm!” Someone said softly.

“Isn’t this fellow’s cultivation progressing too fast?” Someone sucked in a breath of cold air.

“This is simply heaven-defying! It has only been more than ten years since he broke through to the Void Realm, right? How could it be so fast? Don’t you need to prepare well for the Primordial Divine Tribulation Fire?”

“I’ve lived for hundreds of years. I’m only at the third level of the Void Realm now. I’ve never dared to cross the fourth level of the Tribulation Fire. I didn’t expect that a junior like Li Qing would catch up to me. I’ve lived to the age of a dog.” Everyone exclaimed.

Within the Sea God Palace, no matter how great the grudge was, no one was allowed to make a move. Therefore, even if Li Qing had a special status, no one would speak out to provoke him.

The following period of time was the opening of the Flock Immortal Banquet. The Sea God Palace had carefully prepared many delicious dishes, rare fruits, and other delicacies from the East China Sea for everyone to taste.

Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai looked at so many strange things, as well as the Sharkman Race, Shrimp Essence, Crab Essence, and so on, and all revealed expressions of astonishment.

After a total of 108 delicacies, it had already taken almost a day. Everyone felt that they were full of wine and food, and there were many things that were beneficial to their cultivation. They benefited greatly from this. They thought that this time, the Immortal Gathering had not come in vain.

Next, it was a big show.

The Sea God Palace Master led everyone through the buildings and finally arrived in front of a dark pond. A few Void Realm experts who had come to participate in the Flock Immortal Gathering for the first time did not understand what was going on, so they asked.

The Sea God Palace Master patiently answered them one by one. His words were basically the same as what Li Qing had heard before.

The newly arrived Void Realm experts also revealed expressions of realization. They couldn’t help but be filled with yearning for the mysterious and unfathomable Spiritual Sea. Naturally, they wouldn’t object to entering the Sea Eye.

Next, it was the same as before. To activate the whirlpool power in the sea eye, twelve Void Realm experts were required to work together to cast a spell.

Devil Saint You Luo was the first to step forward and express his willingness to help the Sea God Palace.

Back then, when Li Qing participated in the Group Immortal Gathering for the first time, he had seen Demon Saint You Luo’s proactive appearance.

In the end, after so many years, Demon Saint You Luo still seemed to be so enthusiastic. This caused Li Qing’s thoughts to surge. Wasn’t this fellow’s performance a little too abnormal?

Every time Demon Saint You Luo came to participate in the Group Immortal Gathering, he didn’t enter the spiritual sea and worked for free. What was his goal?

This was somewhat intriguing.

Li Qing carefully observed for a period of time and discovered that Demon Saint You Luo had inadvertently displayed a detail. That was, he had repeatedly cast his gaze towards the Sea God Palace Master, and there was a faint strange light flashing in his eyes.

This discovery made Li Qing understand, “So that’s how it is. The relationship between Demon Saint You Luo and Palace Master of Sea God seems to be somewhat unusual.”

“But it’s right to think about it. Demon Saint You Luo is someone who has lived for hundreds of years. Who hasn’t had something in the past after such a long time?”

“Perhaps Demon Saint You Luo had an unknown relationship with Palace Master of Sea God in the past. However, due to the restriction of his status, he was unable to be together.”

Li Qing couldn’t help but think of many things.

Just as he was thinking about it, the twelve Void Realm experts had already begun to sit in twelve different directions around the pond, casting spells to activate the vortex power in the sea eye.

Rumble!

The pond slowly began to fluctuate and then began to spin. The speed became faster and faster, and finally formed a vortex.

An enormous suction force came from the vortex.

Palace Master of Sea God shouted, “The power of the vortex has been activated. Everyone, hurry up and enter. After arriving at the Spirit Sea, please kill all the monsters inside and bring back their inner cores. My Sea God Palace will definitely repay you well!”

Li Qing took the lead and directly rolled up Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai, jumped into the vortex and disappeared.

After arriving at the Spirit Sea, Li Qing did not wait for the rest of the people. He directly rushed out of the sea, flew into the sky, and disappeared.

When the people behind him arrived at the spiritual sea, they couldn’t see Li Qing’s shadow. They knew that he had already left early. They couldn’t help but think in their hearts, “What are you doing in such a hurry? Be careful of dying in the spiritual sea!”

However, it was good that Li Qing had left. After all, standing beside such a famous Great Devil, many people felt pressure in their hearts.

Most of the Void Realm experts who came to the Spirit Sea weren’t too powerful. If Li Qing went crazy and killed them randomly, there wouldn’t be many of them who would be his opponents.

…

“This place is so rich in spiritual energy. It really is the spiritual beauty of Zhong Tian and the earth. It gathers the essence of the sun and moon. If you cultivate here, you will definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds. No wonder the world wants to enter the spiritual sea.” Liu Ke’er sighed.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to a place. Perhaps we can rip off some bamboo poles.” Li Qing chose a direction and flew for about half a day before arriving at an island.

This island was the one Li Qing encountered after entering the Spirit Sea for the first time. Inside was a very sinister Tree Demon.

This Tree Demon’s strength is not bad, even stronger than ordinary Void Realm experts. Moreover, it is its home ground on the island. If it rashly enters, it is very likely to be trapped inside.

Back then, Li Qing relied on the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon to burn Tree Demon to death. He obtained a Good Fortune Fruit from its hand and gave it to Dongfang Bingyun to eat, allowing her to reach the Void Realm.

Li Qing came here again to see if there was anything good in Tree Demon’s hands. Perhaps there would be an unexpected surprise.

The moment he landed on the island, there was an uprising in the forest. Then, he thought, “Why are you here again, kid? Didn’t you come once back then? What are you doing here now?”

“Eh? You recognized me so quickly? Looks like you have a good memory.” Li Qing smiled.

“Scram! I don’t want to see you again! There’s nothing good about meeting you!” The Tree Demon was furious.

“Why are you so angry? You should be happy to see your old friend. Otherwise, how lonely would it be to stay here all the time?” Li Qing said.

“Lonely? What is that? I don’t understand your human emotions. Anyway, I don’t want to meet you. Leave immediately!” Said the Tree Demon.

“I’m already here. Are you trying to send me away with these few words?”

“Then what do you want? I don’t have anything good in my hands anymore. Don’t bother me anymore!” Said the Tree Demon.

“I don’t want more. As long as you take out a Good Fortune Fruit, I will immediately leave!” Li Qing said indifferently.

“What? The Good Fortune Fruit? This thing is so precious, how can I take it out? Are you kidding me?” The Tree Demon cried out involuntarily.

“Didn’t you also take out one back then? It’s not too much to take out another now, is it?” Li Qing chuckled.

“No! Do you really think that the Good Fortune Fruit is a cabbage? If you want to take it out, you can take it out? Isn’t that too much? It’s completely impossible!”

“It’s fine without the Good Fortune Fruit. You can also take out something similar to the Good Fortune Fruit to replace it. As long as there’s one, I’ll turn around and leave!”

“I really don’t have any! I only have some ordinary spirit herbs in my hands. How can I take them out?”

“You’re a very sinister fellow. You must be hiding something good in your hands. The Good Fortune Fruit isn’t very useful to your Tree Demon. What are you keeping it for?” Li Qing said.

“The problem is that I really don’t have anything! What’s the use of saying so much? How can you ask me to take it out?”

“Ai, since that’s the case, then I can only force myself!” Li Qing sighed, as if he had been forced into a helpless state.

“You … what are you trying to do? Don’t act recklessly!” Tree Demon immediately panicked.

“Hand over the Good Fortune Fruit or something similar. Otherwise, I’ll burn your island. Choose between the two options.” Li Qing said.

“How can you be so shameless? Aren’t you humans the ones who pay the most attention to etiquette and shame?” The Tree Demon said loudly.

“Hmph, for the sake of the Good Fortune Fruit, let alone etiquette and shame, no matter how great the price is, I am willing to pay!” A purple light flashed in Li Qing’s eyes. At the same time, his hand began to move. An Eight Desolate Fire Dragon condensed from the sky.

With his current strength, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon he had condensed was more than a hundred times more powerful than before. The scorching energy spread out, causing the surrounding trees to become somewhat charred black.

The tree monster cried out. Originally, there was still a trace of luck, but when he saw this terrifying Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, he immediately gave in.

“Wait, say something good!”

“What? Have you thought it over?” Li Qing said.

“I suddenly remembered that there seems to be something that has a special effect on you humans. I’ll leave it to you now.”

“Hmph, you old monster, if I don’t force you, I won’t take out the good stuff!” Li Qing snorted coldly.

A branch stretched out from the depths of the forest and rolled up a pale blue flower into Li Qing’s hand.

“This is the Blue Spirit Immortal Flower! Although its effect is not comparable to the Good Fortune Fruit, it is still quite good.” Li Qing nodded in satisfaction.

“If you take something, hurry up and leave!” The Tree Demon said angrily.

“Haha, you really have a lot of good stuff in your hands. Looks like you didn’t come wrong this time!” Li Qing laughed loudly.

“Scram! Don’t come back again! I don’t want to see you again!”

“Don’t be so angry. It’s good to get together and disperse. I’ll visit more in the future.” Li Qing was in a good mood and left the island with Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai.
