Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 208: Chapter 133: Battle for Supremacy!_2 Chapter 208: Chapter 133: Battle for Supremacy!_2 In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the clearing.

Lu Li leapt up and followed the crowd into the Array, arriving in front of a large Teleportation Array.

One by one, the group walked into the Teleportation Array.

This Teleportation Array was exactly the one set up by the Four Great Sects, used to pass through the second Array and reach Sky Island.

For the sake of this Spirit Root, the Four Great Sects spared no efforts.

It wasn’t long before it was Lu Li’s turn.

After he stepped into the Teleportation Array with a group of Cultivators, the entire Array flashed brightly, then darkness surrounded him, and the environment before his eyes changed instantly.

His Divine Sense swept the surroundings, only to find himself at the edge of a forest where giant ancient trees could be seen everywhere, with lush branches and leaves that seemed to cover the sky.

There were no other Cultivators in sight.

This Teleportation Array was clearly of random transmission.

Lu Li recalled the map in his mind, confirmed his current position, and then rode the tunneling light towards the northwest.

He did not intend to delay any further. The Spirit Root was located right in the middle of the island, and heading straight towards it was the best strategy.

He assumed the other top ranked combatants from the Heavenly Ranking List would act similarly.

…

Sky Island, southwestern edge.

A young man in purple clothing suddenly appeared beside a lake.

The young man’s figure instantly began to blur, and his face dramatically changed into a ruthless-looking youth, exuding a very astonishing aura.

“Heh heh… With Venerable Shadow Phantom taking action, plus my own Divine Skills, I really wasn’t detected by any other Cultivators.”

Ming Huan stood by the lake, smirking coldly. Shortly thereafter, he activated a Communication Talisman from his Storage Bag. Half an hour later.

Six middle-aged men in black robes quickly flew from afar, between the towering mountains.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived before Ming Huan.

“Lord Ming Huan, we are here to assemble.”

The six men knelt on one knee, their faces a picture of respect.

In their eyes, the power of a Heavenly Ranking List combatant, combined with their “assistance,” was more than enough to sweep this place.

Ming Huan nodded slightly, “Let’s begin.”

He took out several huge metallic objects, four shaped like arms and legs, plus one enormous torso, all emanating a faint glow.

Then, Ming Huan assembled the objects into a gigantic War Puppet, seven to eight zhang tall with an overwhelmingly imposing aura.

“Clang…”

Seeing this, the six Foundation Establishment Cultivators drew out their Flying Swords and opened their own arms, as streams of Essence Blood swiftly converged into the metallic Puppet, like a torrent.

In no time, the Puppet’s eyes started emitting a bloody light, and its spiritual nature greatly increased.

“All for the Holy Sect!”

The six Foundation Establishment Cultivators were fervent, not stopping until all their Essence Blood had been exhausted, turning into dry corpses that collapsed to the ground.

Ming Huan looked on with satisfaction. Originally, with his cultivation, he could not control this Purple Mansion War Puppet, but now with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ sacrifice, he just barely managed.

At least he could exert early-stage Purple Mansion Realm strength, enough to hold on until he annihilated all enemies and extracted the Spirit Root.

Next, he danced his hands quickly, casting streaks of bloody spiritual light toward the Puppet’s chest.

Soon after, a narrow passage opened in the Puppet’s chest, leading straight to the internal space.

Ming Huan leapt up, flew through the passageway, and entered the interior of the Puppet.

His Divine Sense quickly connected to the control core, and after acclimatizing to the massive body, he controlled the Puppet’s body to leap up, pass through the lake below, and quickly fly towards the center of the island.

He vanished from the spot swiftly.

…

Lu Li operated his Divine Power Technique and tunneled through the Endless Forest, the wind blowing against his robes and producing a rustling sound.

Several hours later, he arrived at a large valley in the center of the island.

He looked up to see the valley teeming with greenery and filled with the continuous sounds of birds and beasts; in the center, a two-zhang tall Spirit Root was growing on a patch of red soil.

The Spirit Root’s trunk and leaves were a fiery red, with clouds of Spirit Fog rising from the top, very extraordinary.

Twenty-three Spirit Fruits hung quietly on the branches, while strands of Spiritual Energy continued to flow into them.

Surrounding it were multiple layers of enchantments, emitting shimmering light.

The Tree of Ten Thousand Blossom Fruits was truly worthy of being an Eighth Grade Spirit Root; the surrounding Spiritual Energy was almost turning into fog.

Acquired Spirit Roots ranged from Ninth Grade to First Grade, the higher the better, and above that was the Innate Spirit Root, which no one had ever seen.

The highest grade Spirit Root known in the Dragonfall Sea was only Fourth Grade.

Acquired Spirit Roots had the effect of gathering Spiritual Energy; planted atop a Spirit Vein, they could slowly enhance the grade of the vein.

For an Eighth Grade Acquired Spirit Root, it had a substantial effect even on a Grade Two Spirit Vein.

Lu Li shook off his thoughts and, activating his Divine Skills, quickly flew towards the center of the island.

Not long after, they arrived at the center of the mountain valley and slowly descended onto a stone platform.

At that time, several figures of cultivators had already gathered around, and some of the strong ones on the Heavenly Ranking List were notably present.

When Zuo Qiuhai and his two companions saw Lu Li’s arrival, their faces turned cold.

Lu Li paid them no heed and twisted his head, surveying the surroundings.

Several disciples from the Flowers Sect had also rushed to the spot, including Yin Qian.

It was evident that the teleportation points of these individuals were much closer to the center of the island.

The Spirit Fruits on that central Spirit Root had obviously not fully matured; Spiritual Energy was still accumulating.

It looked like it would still take some time.

“As the Four Great Sects clear the field, all cultivators who plan to fish in troubled waters must immediately leave this place, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

As time passed and more people arrived, Zuo Qiuhai shouted loudly and with a cold expression.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned very ugly, and with reluctance, they flew towards the exterior of the valley, landing on the outskirts to observe the situation in the valley.

Soon, only the three strong ones on the Heavenly Ranking List, Lu Li, and Wu Ziqing from the Flowers Sect were left in the center of the valley.

Even other strong ones from the Earth Ranking had to bow their heads and land outside the valley, prepared to seize any opportunity.

The combined forces of Zuo Qiuhai and his companions were difficult to resist.

“Although Wu Daoist friend is much weaker, you barely qualify.”

Zuo Qiuhai uttered softly, with an indifferent expression.

“Hmph!”

At these words, Wu Ziqing’s expression chilled, her heart burning with anger, yet she did not erupt immediately.

Lu Li stood quietly on the open ground, looking very calm.

Zuo Qiuhai and his companions also regarded him warily, for no one ranked on the Heavenly List was simple.

Even the rankings by the Heavenly Pavilion might not be accurate, so they had no choice but to be cautious.

They stood apart, encompassing the eight directions, and began to wait.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

“Boom…”

Series after series of sounds of breaking through the air were heard as a giant War Puppet flew swiftly from the distant forests, emitting an astonishing aura.

Even from a great distance, everyone could sense this strong oppressive force.

The giant Puppet passed through the layers of mountain ranges and in an instant, landed on an open area in the center of the valley.

A group of people looked at the metal Puppet ahead with a face full of shock.

“Isn’t this a secret weapon of Zoroastrianism? How can it be here, and moreover, a Purple Mansion Puppet!”

Everyone was familiar with Puppets, but those who could manipulate them to perfection were the madmen of Zoroastrianism.

Normally, it would be extremely difficult to control a giant Puppet across ranks; otherwise, the Major Sects would have just let each of their true inheritors take a Purple Mansion Puppet along.

“Dammit, how did these lunatics sneak in here? Now it’s troublesome.”

The expressions on the faces of Zuo Qiuhai and his group turned extremely ugly.

This giant War Puppet was clearly beyond the Foundation Establishment level, having reached the Purple Mansion Realm.

They were no match for it.

Not far away, Wu Ziqing’s pretty face turned pale as she sensed waves of oppressive force coming at her, causing her body to tense up.

Upon seeing this, Lu Li’s expression changed slightly. These remnants of Zoroastrianism must have been prepared for quite some time.

It seemed to be a retaliation against the Flowers Sect for their previous mad encirclement and suppression.

With his strength, he feared it would be difficult to take down this giant Puppet.

“Geniuses of the Four Great Sects, if you join our Holy Sect, this Venerable will spare your lives today. What do you say?”

Ming Huan stood inside the Puppet, looking arrogant.

Zuo Qiuhai and his group went cold with disdain.

Naturally, they would not be so foolish as to join a Cult and be marked with restrictions – a fate worse than death. It would be better to fight their way out.

“Kill!”

In an instant, Zuo Qiuhai brought out a golden Flying Sword, fiercely attacking the Puppet ahead.

The pale Sword Qi on the sword ebbed and flowed, as if it could tear apart the void, with an amazingly fearsome aura.

The Flying Sword hovered in the air, instantly arriving above the Puppet’s head.

With this strike, with all his might infused with his Divine Skills, it had reached a peak attack.

“Humph… Stubborn and ignorant, then let this Venerable erase you altogether. It’s a pity for all your cultivation to go to waste.”

Ming Huan operated the Puppet’s body, clenched his fists, and violently smashed them toward the golden Flying Sword.
