Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Just as the scholar with a chain of heads appeared, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor materialized beside him and crushed his skull with a punch. Forced into a corner, the scholar had to use the Demonic Skeleton Substitution Art to let a chain of skull heads die in his place.

Zhao Yu then set in motion the Mountain Seal around him, sealing the void space to prevent the scholar from escaping through an Escape Technique, then watched as his three formidable subordinates surrounded and attacked the scholar.

"Stop, Sect Leader Zhao, I know the whereabouts of the Scarlet Enchantress and the other ten Demon Lords..."

"Sect Leader Zhao, I will be your dog! Please spare my life!!"

"....."

The scholar, tempting with secrets while desperately pleading, only wished for Zhao Yu to spare his life. But Zhao Yu was unmoved and did not speak. He simply continued to urge the Mountain Seal to lock down the area.

In less than a moment, the scholar had his head twisted off by the White Ghost Emperor, who then clawed through the Nascent Soul, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew loudly.

Thinking to himself, Elder Chi Kong thought, "That Evil Ghost can actually swallow a cultivator's Nascent Soul whole; it's even more terrifying than a Demon Path cultivator! Though Zhao Yu cultivates the orthodox Mountain Sutra from the Taoist Sect, he commands these horrendous demons and ghosts, each more terrifying than the last!"

Zhao Yu said, "Daoist Wu Chen, you have seen it! Among the subordinate sects of the Haiyuan Palace, the Three Spirits Gate had been harboring this Demon Path Nascent Soul cultivator. It's an established fact that Haiyuan Palace has colluded with Demon Path cultivators."

Daoist Wu Chen slightly shook his head and said, "Demon Path cultivators are all proficient in the Art of Stealth. The scholar's Art of Stealth is so advanced that even we would have a hard time detecting it without preparation! Based on this alone, we can only say that there is major suspicion between the Three Spirits Gate and Haiyuan Palace!"

Though Daoist Wu Chen loathed evil, he was no fool. He knew well that the conflict between the Holy Blue Palace and Haiyuan Palace had turned the entire Blue Sky Sea upside down. Both powers were trying to recruit neutral Nascent Soul cultivators like them. He was not eager to take sides lightly.

Zhao Yu asked, "If solid evidence of Haiyuan Palace colluding with the Demon Path is found, what would you do?"

Daoist Wu Chen replied decisively, "If Haiyuan Palace truly colludes with the Demon Path, then I will do everything in my power to oppose Haiyuan Palace, never allowing the Blue Sky Sea to become a place dominated by the Demon Path!"

Zhao Yu slightly smiled and said, "Since we are here, let's also pay a visit to the Sect Leader of the Three Spirits Gate! If he is not sensible, then let's take him down as well!"

Chi Emperor grinned fiercely and said, "Great! Let me go first!"

Among Zhao Yu's three monstrous subordinates, the White Ghost Emperor was cruel and bloodthirsty, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor was lackluster, and Chi Emperor was the most belligerent.

Both Lord Luo Sheng and Elder Chi Kong naturally had no objections. They both knew that the Dan Ling Sect was about to join the ranks of the Holy Blue Palace to oppose Haiyuan Palace. Destroying the Three Spirits Gate would naturally lessen the pressure on Dan Ling Sect.

Daoist Wu Chen's eyes flashed with complexity, and with a deep sigh, he did not follow. He only wished to slay demons and perform righteous deeds, not to participate in these cultivation world battles where there was no right or wrong, only sides.

Zhao Yu flew into the sky, invoked his mana, and shouted, "I, Zhao Yu of Dan Ling Sect, command the Sect Leader of Three Spirits Gate, Lord Ling Hua, to come out and meet me!"

The whole of Bai Ming Island heard Zhao Yu's voice.

"Dan Ling Sect's Sect Leader Zhao Yu, why has he come here?"

"What on earth happened?"

"....."

Upon hearing Zhao Yu's name, the entire Bai Ming Island was plunged into unease.

The Sea Demon races, which included the Dragon God Palace that Zhao Yu had decimated, leaving only a single White Dragon King remaining, and not long before that, Chi Kong Island had been conquered by Zhao Yu, forcing Elder Chi Kong to surrender. His notorious reputation in the Blue Sky Sea was enough to instill fear in many forces.

Bursts of Spiritual Light flashed, and Bai Ming Island activated its Fourth-order Greenwave Great Array as well.

A youth in white flew out with a solemn face and said, "I am Lord Ling Hua, Sect Leader of the Three Spirits Gate. I am unaware of why Sect Leader Zhao honors us with his visit, what brings you here?"

Zhao Yu shouted, "True Sovereign Linghua, I have discovered a Demon Path True Sovereign here on Bai Ming Island! This matter is witnessed by Wu Chen, True Sovereign Lengyun, and Immortal Qin Nan! Your Three Spirits Gate colludes with Demon Path cultivators, poisoning the common folk, a crime of extreme evil. If you surrender now, confess and render meritorious service, it's still not too late!"

True Sovereign Linghua angrily retorted, "Sect Leader Zhao, our Three Spirits Gate is a renowned righteous sect, and we have always been at odds with Demon Path cultivators. Do not invert right and wrong and slander us!"

Apart from the two top-tier human clan dominators, Saint Blue Palace and the Seven Seas Sect in the Blue Sky Sea, there are also various Nascent Soul Powers like Haiyuan Palace.

Within the Blue Sky Sea, the righteous path flourished, and those on the Demon Path were like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting to strike them. Once the Three Spirits Gate was convicted of colluding with Demon Path cultivators, unless the Blue Sky Sea turned into the territory of the Demon Path, they would be hunted by all cultivators across the Blue Sky Sea.

Zhao Yu said, "True Sovereign Linghua, since you refuse to see reason—take action!"

A dark wind blew past, and the White Ghost Emperor teleported behind True Sovereign Linghua and thrust a claw towards his heart.

"Not good!"

A sense of crisis surged in True Sovereign Linghua's heart. Just as he thought of summoning a Spiritual Shield to defend, he was confused by the dark ghostly wind for a moment, and with a pain in his chest, a Ghost Claw had penetrated his heart.

The White Ghost Emperor, seizing the initiative, smashed True Sovereign Linghua's head with a slap.

As True Sovereign Linghua's Nascent Soul just flew out, it was pierced by the White Ghost Emperor's claw, stuffed into his mouth, and chewed vigorously.

Originally, True Sovereign Wan Jian was much stronger than True Sovereign Linghua, but he was killed in an unexpected attack by the White Ghost Emperor. Naturally, True Sovereign Linghua couldn't resist the White Ghost Emperor's ambush either.

"The Sect Leader is dead!"

"True Sovereign Linghua is dead!!"

"..."

Monks from the Three Spirits Gate, witnessing the scene of True Sovereign Linghua being instantly killed, each had a flicker of horror in their eyes.

With True Sovereign Linghua dead in battle, the Three Spirits Gate plummeted from a top Nascent Soul Power to the bottom of the valley. That Fourth Order Low-grade Greenwave Great Array couldn't withstand Zhao Yu's attacks at all.

Zhao Yu directly used the Supernatural Mountainous Giant Hand Seal, a rock giant hand hundreds of feet long and enveloped in earthy yellow Spiritual Light, and heavily struck the weak spot of the Greenwave Great Array.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Many spiritual power junctions of the Greenwave Great Array exploded, and Bai Ming Island shook slightly as Zhao Yu blasted a huge gap in the array.

Zhao Yu continued to unleash the Mountainous Giant Hand Seal, forcefully breaching the entire array.

Just then, a fleet of Flying Boats came from afar and quickly reached Bai Ming Island, with countless cultivators flying out, attacking the Three Spirits Gate.

"Kill them all; avenge the Sect Leader!"

"Follow me and kill!"

"..."

The Three Spirits Gate was not without its spirited members, with many cultivators wielding various magical treasures, throwing themselves at the Dan Ling Sect's troops.

The White Ghost Emperor, with a ferocious smile in the sky, spat out vast swathes of Ghost Fog, sweeping them towards the monks of the Three Spirits Gate below.
