“Lord Dragon King, should we attack the island now and eliminate those human cultivators?” Whale Sky asked.
“No rush, let them fight among themselves a bit longer,” the Dragon King smiled gently and shook his head slowly.
“Lord Dragon King is right. There are many cultivators from the four great dynasties on the island. If we go in now, they will unite against us. Let them weaken each other first, and we will reap the benefits,” said the mermaid leader, holding a trident, her voice as melodious as music.
The Dragon King smiled slightly, standing with his hands behind his back. His light blue eyes gazed at the vast Pill Sovereign Island as he spoke softly, “This island was home to a seventh-grade alchemist among human cultivators. There must be many treasures and spirit herbs on the island, perhaps even the Sacred Golden Elixir.”
At the mention of the “Sacred Golden Elixir,” the four leaders shuddered simultaneously, their eyes revealing uncontrollable greed.
The Sacred Golden Elixir, a high-grade seventh-level pill, could transform a Golden Core into a Spirit Core. It was a precious pill that could help a peak-level Spirit Saint ascend to the Spirit God realm.
The Sacred Golden Elixir had the same effect on demon beasts, helping them reach the coveted Demon Saint Realm.
Unlike human cultivators, the highest known realm for demon beasts was the upper-level Demon Saint Realm.
It was said that if a demon beast successfully transcended tribulation at the peak of the upper-level Demon Saint Realm, its lifespan would increase exponentially, allowing it to reach a plane similar to the celestial realm.
“Lord Dragon King, is there really a Sacred Golden Elixir on this island?” Whale Sky swallowed slightly, his eyes filled with desire.
“There should be. If I consume one, I am confident I can step into the Demon Saint Realm,” the Dragon King said with anticipation, though his tone was somewhat uncertain.
“Even if there isn’t, there should be plenty of seventh-grade treasures on the island. Consuming enough of them would also be sufficient for advancement,” the Dragon King added. He was only one step away from the Demon Saint Realm.
“May our king soon break through to the Demon Saint Realm!” Whale Sky and the other three leaders bowed respectfully in unison.
The Dragon King laughed heartily, “If there is more than one Sacred Golden Elixir, I will grant each of you one.”
“Thank you, Lord Dragon King!” Whale Sky and the others showed excitement on their faces.
All four of them were at the peak of the upper-level Demon Sect. The Sacred Golden Elixir was extremely tempting to them; consuming it would allow them to break through to the Demon King realm.
“Humans are truly a favored race. Although they are born physically weak, their pills are treasures,” Whale Sky remarked.
The octopus leader in a black robe rasped, “Indeed. Humans may be born physically weaker and have shorter lifespans than us Sea Demonkin, but they possess extraordinary wisdom. They can refine weapons, concoct pills, and create talismans. The gifted ones can reach the Spirit God realm in just a few decades.”
Whether Land Demonkin or Sea Demonkin, unless they had extraordinary bloodline inheritance, it took hundreds or even thousands of years to reach the Demon King realm.
“Hmph, human cultivators are always greedy and cunning with many schemes!” The golden spear blood shark leader snorted coldly.
Clearly, he did not have a good impression of humans.
“Heh heh, humans may be the wisest among all races, but this time, it’s our turn to outsmart them,” Whale Sky said smugly as he looked at the island. “In human terms, what is it called…”
Whale Sky’s plump face froze for a moment as he struggled to recall the phrase.
“The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits!” The Dragon King curved his lips into a smile and uttered eight words.
“Yes, yes! Lord Dragon King is right. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. Heh heh, once they have nearly killed each other off, we will move in and capture them all,” Whale Sky rubbed his mismatched hands together and grinned.
“Exactly! Besides the Sacred Golden Elixir, there is another item on this Pill Sovereign Island that I must obtain.”
“When I step into the Demon Saint Realm, it will mark the beginning of my domination over nearby human dynasties. At that time, all their pills and spiritual weapons will be at our Sea Demons’ disposal!”
As he spoke, the Dragon King exuded an aura of supreme authority.
The scene shifted back to the bamboo forest.
Leo and Seraphina appeared outside the bamboo forest in a flash.
Their view immediately widened.
Outside the bamboo forest was a small lake with clean and clear water that allowed one to see its bottom at a glance.
Various fish swam in the lake, teeming with vibrant life. The spiritual energy here was exceptionally abundant.
Scanning across the lake’s surface, they saw a large square on its right side.
In front of the square stood an imposing building.
Above its main entrance were three gilded characters: “Treasure Tower.”
At this moment, in front of Treasure Tower on the square, there were about a thousand cultivators gathered.
All of them stared fervently at Treasure Tower.
Above Treasure Tower hovered a massive bell-shaped light screen that covered it entirely.
Noticing that the Sealing Light Screen was intact, Leo felt relieved. The two quickly crossed the lake and arrived at the square.
Although there were many cultivators on the square, they were roughly divided into four camps.
These four camps belonged to Martial Dynasty, Crescent Dynasty, Giant Wolf Dynasty, and Godsbane Dynasty respectively.
At the forefront of each camp stood several powerful figures.
The cultivators from these dynasties looked at these figures with reverence in their eyes.
These powerful figures were considered the most likely to reach the Spirit God realm within their respective dynasties!
After scanning around briefly, Leo and Seraphina joined Martial Dynasty’s camp.
At the front of Martial Dynasty’s camp stood five figures. On the far left was Noah Shadow, young master of Yin Shadow Gate.
Noah Shadow wore black clothes and had an extremely slender figure. His face was eerily pale, and he wore a black eyepatch over his right eye.
Second from the left was Monk Benjamin from Diamond Fortress. He wore monk robes and had delicate features with intelligent eyes.
In the center stood Salvador, Martial Dynasty’s crown prince. He wore luxurious silver robes with a golden lion embroidered at their center.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, exuding an aura of heroism.
Next to Salvador were Cyrus from Martial Dynasty’s hidden Solitary family and Celia Storm from The Storm family.
Cyrus had fiery red short hair like flames burning on his head. He was tall and burly with rugged features.
Celia had a slender figure and wore a blue dress. Her smooth hair had a watery blue sheen that fell to her waist.
