Chapter 596: Chapter 301: Outer Sea Lighthearted Palace! Profound Kun Zhenren
"Spare me, Senior..."
"Body-Firming Talisman? Golden Armor Talisman..."
Swish, swish!
Before anyone could react, the junior suddenly donned all sorts of colorful talismans, each glowing brightly, enveloping his body completely. It must be said, this junior’s family background is indeed not bad.
Zheng Yi took a glance and immediately noticed several talismans that would be considered high-level among Core Formation Cultivators. Their defensive power was strong enough to withstand the attack of such cultivators, and these precious talismans were typically life-saving trump cards, yet this junior had used them all at once.
Crack, crack!
That person was truly terrified. His body, wrapped by various radiant lights like a central egg surrounded by protective shields, saw those shields crumbling under the pressure of power. A terrifying big hand was collapsing inwards. It seemed like this junior was about to fall.
Suddenly, a black light shot out from the distant sky, as fast as lightning, slashing towards the overwhelming hand.
"Finally, you couldn’t help but reveal yourself..."
Zheng Yi’s expression suddenly turned solemn; his face unchanged as he released the clenched hand in the void, transforming it into a hand spanning the heavens, fiercely striking toward the direction of the black lightning.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth, resounding throughout the universe, even causing massive waves to rise on the sea below.
The explosive shockwave spread in all directions, sweeping everything around and surging further out.
In an instant, the world quaked, and the forceful collision’s shockwave directly tore apart the sky’s integrity. Black fissures emerged in space, from which darkness poured forth, flooding into the space.
The world fell silent, yet a middle-aged man in fine attire appeared, holding a black blade and shielding the junior behind him.
"Grandpa, you arrived! This big cultivator is too fierce."
"If you were a step later, we would have been separated by Yin and Yang."
Although the junior was noble and had extensive knowledge, even he was somewhat lost in his Divine Soul in the face of life-and-death crises, his expression pale as paper.
"Now you know restraint!"
The middle-aged man sighed softly and said, "I told you before, the outside isn’t home, where you can do anything you like."
Speaking, the middle-aged man raised his head, looking toward this direction, sincerely saying, "Friend, please show mercy; I, Profound Kun, thank you here."
Looking at the Profound Kun Daoist opposite, although his appearance seemed middle-aged, his aura revealed extreme age and power, at least several hundred years of life, with immense strength reaching the Late Stage of Golden Core, comparable or even superior to that of Immortal Floating Island’s Island Lord, Daoist Haicang Jiezhou You.
The two were nearly equal in strength, without much difference.
"Profound Kun Zhenren? Leader of the Three Loose Cultivators of the East Source Outer Sea, is this Lighthearted Palace?!"
Zheng Yi was truly a bit surprised this time.
He hadn’t noticed his direction at all previously, instead instinctively moving everywhere, searching for the hidden sea monsters but unknowingly ending up in the area of Lighthearted Palace.
Lighthearted Palace and Immortal Floating Island weren’t much different in strength. Immortal Floating Island was one of the leading forces among the Thirty-Six Islands of the Archipelago Cultivation Realm, while Lighthearted Palace was both righteous and tyrannical, with a more mysterious origin.
Rumors connect it to the mysterious Overseas Immortal Island.
As for Profound Kun Zhenren, he is the Supreme Venerable residing on Lighthearted Island, the foremost expert of Lighthearted Palace, and one of the three renowned loose cultivators in the East Origin Sea Region, achieving the Late Stage of Golden Core was normal.
Zheng Yi also sensed that this Profound Kun Zhenren has achieved a Upper Grade Golden Core in the Core Formation Realm, approximately belonging to the Seventh Grade Golden Core.
This is already quite formidable.
Nowadays, Spiritual Qi has been significantly reduced from the Ancient Era, severely diminishing the quality and age of Spiritual Objects, no longer producing as many Spiritual Objects as in the Ancient Era. Thus, advancing to a high-grade Golden Core became quite challenging.
In the example of the Sea Realm, True Core cultivators are occasionally heard of, with a new one emerging every few decades. However, Upper Grade Golden Core advancement occurs only once a century, making their numbers extraordinarily scarce.
But once successfully advancing, their combat power is extraordinarily strong.
Furthermore, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage later means holding an early advantage.
"That’s right, this is Lighthearted Palace."
Profound Kun Zhenren berated the junior behind him directly, "Why aren’t you thanking the senior for sparing your life?"
As a descendant of Profound Kun Zhenren, although this person was a wastrel, he wasn’t brainless. Moreover, he noticed that even his nearly invincible grandpa in his heart had to fully exert himself yet only matched the opponent’s casual strike, increasing his vigilance abruptly and hastily bowed.
"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"
"May I ask why Fellow Daoist appeared here? Or for what purpose?!"
"If there’s any trouble, Lighthearted Palace can offer hospitality as well..."
Profound Kun Zhenren also personally felt the opponent’s strength and couldn’t help but inquire.
"If I said I was lost, would you believe me?"
Zheng Yi said with some helplessness, as he indeed hadn’t noticed his direction, ending up here.
"This..."
Profound Kun Zhenren felt a bit helpless, unsure what to say.
"Never mind, I should leave! By the way, tell your great-grandson to be careful not to get killed outside!" Zheng Yi glanced at the junior hiding behind Profound Kun Zhenren and said unceremoniously.
