Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1603: Chapter 101 Beizhou! Profound Pills Codex_2

She still wore that simple white dress, as pure and flawless as a lotus emerging from water.

Hearing her words, Li Dinghai’s heart suddenly burned with excitement.

Indeed, the reward this time was exceedingly generous, and consisted of Spirit Pills that were rare even for those with money to purchase. If the Li family managed its affairs properly, it might use this opportunity to cultivate a Heavenly Human Territory clansman.

By then, the family could rise to the 7th Rank, transforming the Hudaoli’s as if reborn.

Of course, all of this was contingent upon the other party “keeping their promise.”

Driven by a mix of fear and hope, Li Dinghai was naturally extra cautious and meticulous, navigating the fishing vessel toward its destination without incident.

As the fishing vessel advanced, a strikingly alluring woman with an exceptionally captivating aura remained standing on the side of the bow.

Her face was veiled, hiding her features, but her long black-and-red dress swayed in the sea breeze like a blooming black peony.

She rarely spoke, but her voice would suddenly ring out at crucial moments: “Three miles ahead, there are several hidden reefs. I advise steering to the right.”

“Please be careful. Ten miles ahead, the mist thickens—proceed at reduced speed.”

“Oh? Among the reef cluster a few miles away hides a large Level Five Spirit Blood Eel. I’ll go catch it to help Shouye replenish his body.”

This woman was none other than Jiang Qingsnow, once known as the “Chimei Demon Master,” now one of the Wang family’s Tributes.

As a Divine Power Territory cultivator, she would be regarded as an esteemed figure even within the Immortal Dynasty. In this remote countryside, she naturally seemed like a celestial being descended to Earth.

With her expansive God Sense guiding the way, they encountered no dangers and smoothly reached their destination.

It was a desolate and mist-shrouded sea region, riddled with mystery.

The billowing mist curled atop the ocean surface, as if layering the sea in gauzy veils, rendering everything within view hazy and indistinct. Only at noon did the scenery clear slightly, revealing a few rocks that periodically emerged and submerged under the waves.

Upon seeing this area, Master Danding, who had spent much of the journey sitting quietly in meditation, suddenly became animated.

With Gu Hanyu supporting him, he stood and spoke with excitement: “This is the place, this is it! After nearly seven hundred years, I, Danding, have finally returned. Li Old Ancestor, how many days remain until the August 16th high tide?”

“One month,” Li Dinghai replied honestly.

“Good, then we’ll wait one month.”

Master Danding had already briefed Wang Shouye and others on the considerations for this expedition, so once he gave the order, everyone understood and began finding their own places to wait.

In reality, they had been in Beizhou for quite some time. The reason they hadn’t yet entered the ruins was that the timing wasn’t right.

The origins of the relic discovered by Master Danding were extremely mysterious, and its entrance was profoundly concealed. Only during specific periods could one enter. If the time wasn’t right, even being at the location wouldn’t grant access to the Secret Realm.

And the great tide one month later would be the sole opportunity in nearly a hundred years to enter the Secret Realm.

For a while, the fishing vessel fell into a quiet lull.

Master Danding leaned against the stern and once again entered a state of silent meditation.

Throughout most of the journey, Master Danding had been exceptionally reserved. Though he spoke little, Wang Shouye and the other disciples understood the underlying reason.

In Longzuo County, Master Danding was only known as an Independent Cultivator. In truth, however, he hailed from Beizhou, where his family was a Fifth Grade Prominent Family.

Due to circumstances he chose not to elaborate on, he departed from the family and became an Independent Cultivator. Struggling in dire circumstances, he once teamed up to adventure into the Cluster Reef Ghost Sea, but all his companions perished. He narrowly survived and reaped an unexpected fortune.

Using that fortune, he wandered to Da Qian and rose to the Purple Abode Realm, becoming renowned as Master Danding, the Independent Cultivator.

And now, after centuries, he was returning to Beizhou, doubtlessly stirred by old memories.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

As the great tide arrived as expected, the “Ghost Mist” atop the sea gathered growingly dense, swelling to more than tenfold its previous volume.

But as the mist thickened, a miracle unfolded at the marked location: an island reef, instead of being submerged, gradually rose above the waves, rising over thirty feet high.

“Shouye, leave Jiang Tribute and two household guards to watch the boat,” Master Danding said with eyes blazing. “The rest of you, follow me into the water.”

Being a Void Realm inheritance site, its customary recipients were Purple Abode cultivators. Jiang Qingsnow had no use for entering and might even displease the Codex Artifact Spirit.

This was something Jiang Qingsnow naturally made no objection to.

After Wang Shouye made brief arrangements, he joined his senior brothers, fellow disciples, and Master in diving into the water.

They were all Profound Martial cultivators with refined cultivation bases, their bodies surging with Mysterious Energy shielding them from the seawater as easily as if employing the Water Evading Technique.

Master Danding, like an experienced guide, led the way, diving ten or so feet beneath the surface to the ocean floor.

Pressing close to the reef, he searched carefully for a moment, then propelled himself forward with a sudden motion.

In an instant, a faint ripple of space fluctuation spread outward, and his entire figure vanished from sight.

Seeing this, his disciples all lit up with excitement and, imitating him, entered the spatial fissure attached to the reef one after another.

Wang Shouye felt the surrounding space distorting, and in the next moment, the scenery before his eyes had completely changed.
