Seeing Xue Qingcheng looking at the innate spiritual treasure with a face full of affection, Tang Feng rubbed his forehead in pain.

If this thing were integrated into the Star Divine Artifact, it might restore the artifact's power from years ago.

What a pity.

He did have some in his space, but nothing compared to the innate spiritual treasure with spiritual wisdom in front of him.

Moreover, Tang Feng didn't intend to use it; his array dao cultivation was continuously growing, and someday he might find use for the innate spiritual treasure.

Once it's integrated into the array path,

the idea of destroying the firmament with a single thought might not be impossible.

Tang Feng had his grievances; ever since obtaining the innate spiritual treasure, Xue Qingcheng rarely accompanied him.

This woman actually pampered it as if it were a son, but it was a spiritual object, no matter how much it grew, it could never achieve heaven-reaching abilities.

Eventually, it would have to return to its source of existence.

The thing that Tang Feng didn't expect was that it actually acknowledged a master.

It acknowledged Xue Qingcheng as its master.

She actually obtained the recognition of the innate spiritual treasure.

Looking at the seven-colored light armor that had transformed, Tang Feng was filled with envy. This was a treasure capable of limitless growth.

As long as Xue Qingcheng continued to grow stronger, so would it.

The crucial point is that it is not a dead object.

Tang Feng's divine armor was excellent too, but it lacked spiritual sense.

"Heh, jealous are we?"

One evening, Xue Qingcheng finally remembered that there was still someone like him.

"You still remember me, huh." Tang Feng rolled his eyes.

"Alright then, tonight I'm yours; let you bully me heavily." Xue Qingcheng said with a charming smile, radiant and alluring.

"Of course, I won't let you go easily."

Everything was understood without words.

The beauty of Xue Qingcheng made Tang Feng willing to stay with her every day.

This woman is truly worthy of being called a demoness.

It made Tang Feng's soul and body very joyful.

With a better mood, everything you do gets twice the result with half the effort.

After staying in Harbor City for half a month, Tang Feng decided to go to sea to have a look.

By the way, to find the location of the Divine Water Palace.

It was one of the strongest sects back then, surely it housed many heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Even if they didn't get much on the first go, opening their eyes wouldn't hurt.

They got a luxurious suite, and being on the top floor, they could go up to the top and watch the sea scenery.

This trip was heading to the islands of Dragon's Rest.

The entire island was twice the size of Harbor City, and a Sea City was established there. Although there were fewer people, visitors to this place were all cultivators coming to hunt sea beasts.

These sea beasts were different from those near the coast; after being hunted, not only could they sell the meat for money, but they might also find treasures in their bellies.

The cultivators who come here always gain something, more or less.

Such cases attract more and more cultivators to various islands.

This boosts both the shipping industry and the island's trade.

Dragon Nest Island is the closest to Harbor Island, and it has basically become a supply transshipment point for distant islands.

The most sold here are weapons and defense artifacts.

Of course, there are also various brothels.

In a man's world, it's nothing more than money, power, and women; thus, many cultivators who have gains choose to indulge for a spell.

After all, once at sea, the danger is significant, and no one can guarantee their return.

Countless cultivators have died in the sea.

Some sea beasts are exceptionally powerful.

But enormous profits drive numerous cultivators to take risks.

After all, cultivation requires many resources, solely relying on cultivation progress is too slow.

This day was calm and tranquil and was Tang Feng and Xue Qingcheng's fourth day at sea. Apart from seeing some small sea beasts, they hadn't found anything special.

Tang Feng felt a bit disappointed.

Just when he thought another dull day would pass, the ship shook slightly.

At first, Tang Feng thought it was an operational issue, but the shaking intensified.

Eventually, the ship tilted and seemed on the verge of capsizing, but a strong cultivator on board intervened and straightened the ship.

However, his action provided only a temporary solution. Afterward, all cultivators on the ship witnessed what was happening.

"Prepare for battle," shouted the ship owner, standing at the bow, weapon in hand, even wearing his divine armor.

Hearing the command, the cultivators hurried to prepare; even if they weren't going out to fight, they needed to defend the ship.

An enemy attack.

As they spoke, sudden cries erupted as sea beasts swarmed the ship's hull and quickly reached the first level.

Sounds of fighting, screams, cries of agony, and cheers erupted soon after.

These sea beasts brought death and simultaneously brought resources. Among so many sea beasts, some were bound to drop precious treasures.

Like sea crystals.

Star artifacts.

And various sea materials.

Seeing this, the battle power of the cultivators skyrocketed, as if they were on stimulants.

The ship owner was still worried that the cultivators on the first level couldn't hold them off but was surprised by their performance.

So, his pressure was somewhat relieved.

However, underwater there was a giant beast that might ram the ship at any moment.

The ship owner ordered his subordinates and dived headfirst into the water.

He intended to fight the sea beast head-on.

Tang Feng watched the battle from the top.

Boom!

Not far from the bow, the ship owner burst from the water.

A giant beast followed with its massive mouth aiming for the ship owner, a scene Tang Feng couldn't resist capturing with his camera.

Truly epic.

The ship owner spun around, delivering a blow to the giant sea beast, forcing it back into the ocean.

Its massive body hit the water, creating a massive wave that loomed over the bow.

"Quick, activate the defense shield."

A tsunami formed.

The wave towered over tens of meters above the ship.

If the wave crashed down, the ship would surely sink.

The giant sea beast, pained, became more furious.

It charged towards the ship with ten thousand beasts in tow.

We're screwed!

The ship owner, strong as he was, couldn't stay afloat for long; this relic pressed with laws, forcing him back onto the ship. Losing the vessel meant extreme peril in this vast sea.

Fortunately, Dragon Nest Island was near.

Otherwise, things would've been dire.

Bam!

The scene of ten thousand beasts attacking together was captured by Tang Feng.

Xue Qingcheng quietly stayed by Tang Feng's side.

She couldn't help; Tang Feng's safety was paramount.

Whether the ship sank or people died didn't concern her.

She didn't ask what Tang Feng was doing either.

The smart woman just stayed silently, knowing he would tell her if he wanted.

"The situation seems bad, should we leave first?"

"Okay."

Xue Qingcheng took Tang Feng's hand and flew towards Dragon Nest Island.

The ship owner saw such powerful people on board and was stunned. He cursed himself internally for not properly hosting them earlier, thinking that if he had, they might have helped. Now, it was too late for regrets.

Ultimately, the ship couldn't be saved.

One ram from the sea beasts broke the defense shield.

Without defenses, it couldn't withstand the tens of meters of tsunami.

The ship was wrecked into pieces.

Numerous cultivators flew towards Dragon Nest Island.

Yet many more fell prey to the sea beasts.

With a foothold, there was no fear, but losing it, they became prey.

Swept by a sea beast, they perished instantly.

The ship owner too was helpless seeing this; he wasn't obligated to protect them, and now that he suffered great losses, he could only bemoan his bad luck. As they neared Dragon Nest Island, this mishap left him almost spitting blood from anger.

Recalling the earlier strong cultivators, he sighed inwardly; with vision, things wouldn't have come to this.

He had to accept that he was back to square one overnight.

Everything had to start afresh.

Thankfully, ship profits were high; in a few decades, everything would return. For now, he could only console himself this way.
