Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 823: Chapter 669: Kingly Bearing

Two months later.

Two thousand miles from Starlight Island.

On the Iron Pear Ship, Shen Xuan stowed away the ropes on the Tiger Whales.

Over a dozen Tiger Whales, all Tier Three Sea Demons.

With such formidable presence, nearby Sea Demons were terrified and fled.

The journey was smooth and unimpeded.

However, the closer they got to Starlight Island,

more and more powerful Divine Senses lurked in the void, monitoring the Iron Pear Ship and the Tiger Whales.

It was indeed too conspicuous.

Considering the mutual distrust between the Human Race and the Sea Race,

Shen Xuan decided to release the Tiger Whales here.

Shen Xuan used Spiritual Communication: "What is this king’s name?"

The Tiger Whale King quickly replied: "I dare not. My name is Jing Sihai."

"Within the four seas, all are brothers."

Shen Xuan didn’t care whether Jing Sihai understood or not.

"I troubled your noble tribe for two months. As promised, I won’t treat you unfairly, there will be compensation."

Shen Xuan took out a Jade Box, inside was the True Pill of the third Island Master of Fierce Tiger Island, Zhang Zeyun.

Back then, the three Village Chiefs of Fierce Tiger Island and Liu Ruoping ambushed Shen Xuan but were counter-killed by him.

The corpses of the four were buried under the Frost Cold Soul Tea Grove, while their Inner Cores were collected by him.

"Serving the lord is a small person’s honor. How would I dare accept the lord’s reward."

Jing Sihai revealed a human-like smile.

"Take a closer look at what it is, then refuse if you must!"

Shen Xuan sent the Jade Box flying in front of Jing Sihai.

"This is..."

Jing Sihai scanned with his Demon Sense, his face immediately losing color.

"Water Technique True Pill, perfectly suited for your cultivation. Are you sure you don’t want it?"

Shen Xuan remained calm.

Like Demon Beasts, the Inner Core is the essence of a Core Formation True Master.

Jing Sihai, being a Tier Three Upper Grade Demon King, is wise beyond measure, naturally he understands.

"Thank you, lord, for the bestowed treasure!"

Jing Sihai repeatedly nodded his head in gratitude towards Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan asked, "By the way, how can I quickly find you in the future if needed?"

Jing Sihai took out a fin and presented it respectfully.

"This is our tribe’s contact item. With it, the lord simply needs to input Spiritual Power and within a thousand miles, you’ll sense our tribe."

Shen Xuan stored it away and waved his hand.

"That’s it! You can return now."

Shortly, Jing Sihai led his Tiger Whale tribe back to the distant ocean.

Shen Xuan watched the Tiger Whales safely dive into the deep sea, smiling faintly.

He knew.

That transformed Whale Demon was following the Iron Pear Ship all along in secret.

Both understood each other’s intentions clearly.

Shen Xuan employed the Tiger Whale group to tow the ship, a mere pretext.

He was showing goodwill towards the Tiger Whale group.

Moreover, he presented a True Master’s Inner Core, as compensation for two months of ship towing by the Tiger Whale group.

The compensation was considerably generous.

Shen Xuan’s generous gesture was purely for the sake of the transformed Whale Demon.

In his past life, Tiger Whales were known as the wisest among Sea Beasts.

And, they were notably friendly towards humans, rarely attacking them actively.

While considering alliances within the Sea Race,

the first to come to his mind was the Tiger Shark Demon Race in this world.

"I hope he understands my intention."

"However, it’s not urgent. Slow but steady."

After traveling together for two months.

The members of Long Family Stronghold became familiar with Shen Xuan.

The others didn’t matter, their status was insufficient.

Long Xiaoyun and Long Zhijiao could exchange a few words with Shen Xuan.

Especially Long Xiaoyun.

Being female.

And a Fake Pill True Master.

With Shen Xuan intentionally concealing his Body Refining Divine Realm, they treated each other as peers.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun expressed with envy: "True Master Shen, you’re truly remarkable. Even those Tiger Whale Demons listen to you."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and said: "I’ve heard, Tiger Whale Demons are quite friendly to the Human Race, rarely actively attacking them."

"Indeed."

Long Xiaoyun agreed.

"Alright, there’s still two thousand miles left, we’ll arrive in a few days, everyone prepare to disembark."

Upon hearing this, the Long Family members showed excitement.

After drifting at sea for over two months, traveling a hundred thousand miles, they were finally about to reach their destination.

...

Starlight Island, Cold Ice Cave.

Guest Hall.

"No way."

Qin Yuehan stared at the opposing True Master Xuan Xiang, resolute and persistent.

"Starlight Island is my husband’s Dao venue. This matter, both Profound Celestial Sect and Cyan Cloud Sect recognized in the past, with a contract as proof. My husband handed it over to Yuehan to manage, Yuehan cannot afford to let it suffer the slightest mishap."

True Master Xuan Xiang is a Golden Core True Master of Profound Celestial Sect, realm, cultivation, status, and position far surpassing hers.

But this is Starlight Island, the home of Shen Xuan and her.

She couldn’t afford to retreat an inch.

True Master Xuan Xiang sat still, expression ice-cold.

"Fellow Daoist Hanyue, Starlight Island has always been the Spiritual Land under our Profound Celestial Sect."

"Back then, Brother Sect Leader Xuan Ji, mindful of the camaraderie of being part of the Six Sects of Song Country, and out of respect for Fellow Daoist Mysterious Trace from your sect, made an exception to temporarily lend this island for Fellow Daoist Profound Ice to settle."

"Now, over fifty years have passed."

True Master Xuan Xiang’s gaze was intense as it fell upon Qin Yuehan.

"It’s time for Fellow Daoist Profound Ice to return Starlight Island to our Profound Celestial Sect."

Qin Yuehan’s chest heaved slightly, glaring fiercely at True Master Xuan Xiang, her lips tightly pursed, momentarily at a loss for words.

The other cited sect-wide righteousness, aggressively imposing, leaving her, a Fake Pill Cultivator, feeling powerless.

Just then, a figure in green walked in from the inner chamber’s back door.

The person wore a moon-white Daoist Robe, hair styled high, their face as cold as snow, emitting a chilling aura.

"Fellow Daoist Cold Jade?"

True Master Xuan Xiang’s gaze tensed, his face displaying a hint of surprise.

His Divine Sense instinctively scanned, instantly confirming the other’s identity.

Late Stage Ice Technique True Pill, appearing now and here, could only be True Master Cold Jade from Cyan Cloud Sect.

True Master Cold Jade spoke coldly: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiang, inform Brother Xuan Ji for me, if he wishes to reclaim Starlight Island, wait until Shen Xuan returns to discuss it with him directly."
