Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Chapter 207 Swallowing Bamboo Island

"The only Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator I have offended in the Blue Sky Sea is Whale Cloud, the old monster! This fellow is most likely Whale Cloud himself. He's truly devious, verbally agreeing to consider for three months, but then immediately attempting a stealth assassination on me. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent."

Zhao Yu waved his hand, and the White Ghost Emperor stepped forward to devour the soul of Whale Cloud's corpse.

"It really is Whale Cloud! Apart from him, there are two other Golden Core cultivators on Bamboo Island, Real Man Yellow Crab and Real Man Thousand Thoughts. They possess cultivation levels of Golden Core fifth layer and fourth layer respectively, not enough to be feared. This is the perfect opportunity to take Bamboo Island as my base in the Blue Sky Sea!"

Zhao Yu immediately summoned Jin Shanchang and other Seacat Island cultivators, and driven by their escape lights, they flew towards Bamboo Island.

Outside Bamboo Island, streaks of escape light arrived, revealing their forms—it was Zhao Yu and his party.

Jin Shanchang suddenly unleashed the terrifying pressure of a Golden Core level cultivator and shouted, "Real Man Yellow Crab, Real Man Thousand Thoughts, Zhao Yu, the direct disciple of Real Man Yuanhai has arrived. Please come out to meet us!"

Two streaks of escape light flew out from Bamboo Island, materializing into Real Man Yellow Crab, who was dressed as a young Taoist, and Real Man Thousand Thoughts, who had the appearance of a middle-aged cultivator.

With a wary face, Real Man Yellow Crab said, "I am Real Man Yellow Crab. May I know why you have come to this place and what important matter you have?"

"Whale Cloud, the old monster, dueled with me and died by my hand. He lost Bamboo Island to me! I ask that you both leave Bamboo Island and hand it over to me."

Zhao Yu directly took out the head of Whale Cloud and tossed it over, and a horrifying aura of Golden Core Eighth Layer spread out from his body.

"The master is actually dead? How is that possible? Real Man Thousand Thoughts, can you see if this is indeed the master's head?"

The complexion of Real Man Yellow Crab changed drastically as he passed Whale Cloud's head to Real Man Thousand Thoughts beside him.

Real Man Thousand Thoughts was proficient in a secret technique that could distinguish the true from the false.

Real Man Thousand Thoughts solemnly declared, "This is indeed our master's head; our master is truly dead!"

Whale Cloud was a Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator, and the combined strength of the two Golden Core cultivators, Real Man Yellow Crab and Real Man Thousand Thoughts, was no match for him. If Zhao Yu could kill Whale Cloud, it meant he could also easily slay Real Man Yellow Crab and Real Man Thousand Thoughts.

After struggling for a while and with his gaze shifting several times, Real Man Yellow Crab finally said with reluctance, "Since the Island Master had an agreement with you, Bamboo Island is now yours! I will take my leave immediately with my people!"

Everyone immediately fainted.

Unless one was a Nascent Soul Level expert or a genius naturally resistant to illusion techniques, even a Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator would struggle to resist the White Ghost Emperor's illusions.

Zhao Yu's Divine Sense swept over them and, seeing that everyone was unconscious, he then brought out the Earth Immortal Map.

A yellow light beam shot out from within the Earth Immortal Map and swept over the people below, directly sucking them into the Map.

Within the Earth Immortal Map, suspected to be part of an Immortal Relic, there is an expansive land with a top-quality Fifth Order Spirit Vein, spanning a territory of three thousand miles.

Inside the Earth Immortal Map, millions of survivors from the Shanyue Sect lived, but their Cultivation Level could only reach up to the Foundation Establishment Stage due to the restrictions of this Immortal Relic.

The main ability of this Immortal Relic called Earth Immortal Map is to cultivate Spiritual Medicine; within this Map there are various attributes of Core Formation Fruits, as well as many millennium-old Spiritual Medicines planted by the former Shanyue Sect.

Besides cultivating Spiritual Medicine, the Earth Immortal Map also has the capacity to absorb cultivators, transport various materials, and store all kinds of treasures.

Currently, the Earth Immortal Map only possesses these two capabilities, which are not enough to drive Divinity Transformation Cultivators wild with desire. But after all, it is an Immortal Relic and certainly has more than these two functions; it is simply not a complete Immortal Relic.

This Immortal Relic is divided into the Earth Immortal Map, Water Immortal Map, Fire Immortal Map, Wood Immortal Map, and Metal Immortal Map. Only when the five maps are united will the true Immortal Relic emerge, with its immense power fully unlocked.

Even so, the current abilities of the Earth Immortal Map already surpass those of many Spiritual Treasures.

After Zhao Yu took everyone into the Earth Immortal Map, he used an ultra-long-distance teleportation Array to return to the Blue Sky Sea, reaching Bamboo Island, released everyone from the Earth Immortal Map, and cast a spell to wake them up.

Zhao Yu called over Jin Shanlong to assist Li Xianjiao and his group in controlling Bamboo Island.

Facing Li Xianjiao and his group, whose Cultivation Levels far exceeded his own, Jin Shanlong showed great tact, actively cooperating and transferring all kinds of authority over Bamboo Island into the hands of Li Xianjiao's group.

Zhao Yu then returned to Shanyue Sect's cave mansion to continue his cultivation and observe the situation.

Since the Myriad Changes Demon Sect also possessed a Divinity Transformation Level orthodox sect to contend with, it was not certain that they would support the Hanlong Empire.
