Chapter 956: Trading Resources For Cultivation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Time fleeted by quickly and seven days passed by. The Nine Dragons Alignment Array had been finally completed and the radiant golden shield gradually disappeared. The world energy fluctuation seemed to have returned to its original state just like nothing had happened. However, the female Taoist, Daoist Zixuan, who had been stranded outside Nine Dragons Island, was perfectly aware that the might of the array had already reached a very terrifying level, given that it had crazily absorbed the world energy from all directions for the last seven days.

“Something is strange, Master.”

The girl in a white dress that was fluttering in the wind stood on the bow deck while staring at Nine Dragons Island and suddenly spoke.

Daoist Zixuan opened her eyes and slightly turned to her, asking, “What strangeness are you sensing?”

“I feel like the scenery in front is gradually turning kinda blurry, Master,” answered the girl. “Also, if you listen to the sounds in the surroundings, there were some sounds coming from the island previously, but now nothing can be heard but the sound of the tide hitting the shore.”

This made Daoist Zixuan’s expression slightly shift. Her expression suddenly changed and she released her perception toward the front quickly as her face went pale. She coughed up a mouthful of blood just as her spiritual sense touched an invisible layer of obstruction. It was like there was some kind of monster that was able to swallow and devour her spiritual sense there.

Cough, cough…

After coughing two mouthfuls of blood, Daoist Zixuan stared at the island in front in disbelief. She vaguely realized that the Nine Dragons Island at present was blurring and not even the slightest voice could be heard from there.

The longer she and her disciples observed the island, the more blurred the island became, up till it completely disappeared from their sight. Daoist Zixuan was still able to confirm that Nine Dragons Island was still there with her spiritual sense, but not with her eyes. There was nothing in her vision but the boundless sea.

“Master,” called out the girl, a look of hesitation on her face.

“Be at ease! I’m fine and there’s nothing to worry about,” said Daoist Zixuan with a forced smile. “A very powerful array expert has arranged a peerless array to surround and cover the entirety of Nine Dragons Island. Even with my ability, I still wouldn’t be able to figure out the mystery of this place had I not seen the island previously. You all must remember not to easily provoke anyone on this island once we land later.”

“But you’re a Golden Core Stage expert, Master,” said the girl. “Even if the person on that island is very powerful in arrays, it’s only one skill. That person’s cultivation is probably not on par to yours, right?”

“We are yet to know the owner of the island, so don’t draw such a conclusion easily.” Daoist Zixuan shook her head and said, “Also, even if the cultivation level of the person who has arranged this array is lower than mine just like you said, it’s easy to kill me once he activates this peerless array.”

Suddenly, Daoist Zixuan and her four disciples suddenly saw the air in front of them fluctuate and a portal appear out of nowhere. Inside it, they could clearly see the scenery of Nine Dragons Island.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh….

Several figures came flashing through the portal lightning fast. The first to appear before Daoist Zixuan was her six disciples, followed by Tang Xiu and the Mo Brothers.

“Master.”

Jin Chanzi, Jin Xinzi, and the other four knelt in the air and respectfully called out.

Daoist Zixuan raised her jade-like fingers slightly as six streams of qi raised them up. Then, she nodded to them with satisfaction and said, “You’ve done well, my disciples. You ran into evil people and got rid of them. Additionally, you also inadvertently came to Nine Dragons Island, providing us the chance to meet other powerful cultivators, a great merit in and of itself. I’ll give you a handsome reward once we come back to our sect.”

“Thank you, Master!” the six youths happily replied.

Seeing that Daoist Zixuan’s eyes shifted to him, Tang Xiut then smiled and cupped his fists, “I must apologize for the negligence I’ve shown you while you’ve visited my Nine Dragons Island, Senior. I’ve ordered some people to boil some good tea, and I invite Senior to come to my island to enjoy it.”

“Is your distinguished self the Island Master?” Daoist Zixuan slightly bowed and said, “May I know your distinguished self’s title?”

“My name is Tang Xiu; I’m indeed the owner of this Nine Dragons Island,” said Tang Xiu smilingly.

“May I know which sect, school and under which respectable elder’s tutelage Fellow Daoist Tang comes from?” asked Daoist Zixuan again. “We’re all fellow Daoist in the ascetic circle; maybe I know your Master as well.”
