Wang Xiaoqiang, with a thought, collected all the Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Porcelain into the Sumeru Ring, then cleaned the cabin again. When he found nothing else, he stopped.

At that moment, Qiao Zhi felt somewhat tired, so the two bid farewell to the Sea Dragon and prepared to return to land. Just then, the sea suddenly churned, and the 212 Spirit Springs within Wang Xiaoqiang vibrated, while the Sea Dragon also cried out loudly, "A cultivator is coming."

Wang Xiaoqiang released his divine sense for a check and indeed, three cultivators were coming towards them. Wang Xiaoqiang saw that their cultivation bases were all at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Wang Xiaoqiang's submarine, made of 800 Spiritual Springs, now had only 212 Spiritual Springs left in his body, equivalent to an Early Golden Core Stage cultivation base. If those three Nascent Souls attacked, it would trouble them. At this point, he had to disassemble the Spiritual Spring Submarine.

While Wang Xiaoqiang was considering these issues, the three cultivators had already arrived, each surrounded by an eggshell-like Spiritual Energy Protective Shield, filtering out the seawater.

As soon as these three cultivators appeared, the Sea Dragon swam quickly, hiding its large body behind Wang Xiaoqiang, showing extreme wariness. It had already been attacked by Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy Sword and was seriously injured; it was not in a condition to face these three Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

The three cultivators saw Wang Xiaoqiang and Qiao Zhi, saw the Sea Dragon, saw the sunken ship, and a glow of excitement appeared in their eyes. A Foundation Establishment Late Stage youngster, a beautiful woman with no cultivation base, an injured Sea Beast, and a sunken ship; this was simply tempting fate and a stroke of fortune,

The thoughts of these three cultivators were completely aligned at that moment: kill the Foundation Establishment youngster, seize the beauty, hunt the Sea Beast, extract its inner core, then explore the sunken ship for treasures.

Such delightful euphoria~

The three of them thought this, smiles of triumph appearing on their faces, then pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Boy, which sect do you belong to, and why are you here?"

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't answer.

Another person said, "A dead man walking, why bother talking so much with him? Aren't you afraid he'll haunt you as a ghost?"

"Cut it, let him be annihilated!," said that person, already charging towards Wang Xiaoqiang. The other two also rushed forward eagerly.

Wang Xiaoqiang whispered something into Qiao Zhi's ear, then with a thought, Qiao Zhi's body suddenly vanished.

Seeing the beauty disappear abruptly, the three cultivators were all startled, yet they did not falter, and all three brandished their magic treasures and attacked Wang Xiaoqiang.

With another thought, Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Spring Submarine disappeared, and an eggshell-like Spiritual Energy Protective Shield emerged around his body, blocking the seawater, and all 800 Spiritual Springs were absorbed back into his body.

Spiritual Power surged instantaneously.

The three Nascent Soul Old Monsters, closing in, saw Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly transform from a Foundation Establishment cultivator into an existence higher than Divinity Transformation, felt their scalps tingle, fear flooding their eyes. They hastily retreated, but it was too late. Wang Xiaoqiang opened and closed his hands, and in a split second, three Spiritual Energy Spears shot out, each targeting a cultivator.

Zooom~

The Spiritual Energy Spears, unimpeded by seawater, zipped forth and ultimately pierced through the three men's Spiritual Energy Shields, impaling their bodies and nailing them firmly to the ground.

The three men were not yet dead, resembling three strung grasshoppers comically wriggling their limbs. Their eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang, conveyed their unwillingness.

Wang Xiaoqiang then struck with three Spiritual Energy Swords, cleaving open their chests. True Yuan and Spiritual Power seeped from their chests, and Wang Xiaoqiang released one hundred Spirit Springs, which split into three groups, each rushing towards one of the men, thoroughly absorbing the leaking Spiritual Power. Suddenly, the hundred Spirit Springs split into two,

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop...

becoming two hundred Spirit Springs. The two hundred Spirit Springs, colorful and circulating, appeared mesmerizingly beautiful in the water, unmatched in their beauty.

As Wang Xiaoqiang willed it, they were absorbed back into his body, and suddenly, the Spiritual Power within him ascended another level, taking another step towards the State of Solidification.

Now Wang Xiaoqiang had 1112 Spirit Springs in his body. These 1112 Spirit Springs, like countless stars in the night sky, arranged themselves inside him in a zodiac constellation pattern, mysterious and profoundly marvelous.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, you are so formidable. To be able to instantly kill cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage, your cultivation level must have reached an astonishing degree," said the Sea Dragon with awe and suspicion.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't respond to the Sea Dragon. With a thought, the 800 Spiritual Springs enfolded him, then formed into the Spirit Spring Submarine. With another thought, Qiao Zhi emerged from the Sumeru Ring, looking somewhat bewildered. She had felt herself entering a dark world; had it not been for Wang Xiaoqiang's reminder, she would have been terrified. Yet still, she remained unnerved, and Wang Xiaoqiang, holding her slender waist, comforted her until her heart calmed.

Without asking further, Qiao Zhi now understood that Wang Xiaoqiang was no ordinary mortal; he was a cultivator, and the matters of cultivators naturally weren't something a mortal could comprehend.

"Little Qiang, I'm a bit tired, shall we go up?" Although Qiao Zhi hadn't had enough, she felt weary and wanted to breathe some air above the water.

"Alright, let's go up," said Wang Xiaoqiang as he waved at the Sea Dragon, signaling his departure.

Suddenly, the Sea Dragon said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, could you take me with you? I would like to follow you and cultivate."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "How could that be possible? You are so huge, how can I possibly take you with me?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're wearing a Superior All-Items Ring on your hand. This ring can contain a whole mountain peak. How about taking me into the ring, and then I can cultivate inside it?"
