Three months passed quickly, and today is the day when the Sun family fleet returns.
On the deck, the monks of the Sun family were counting the number of people.
When they came, there were a total of thirty-six Jindan monks who went out to sea on their ship.
But three months later, only twenty-five people were left.
Nearly one-third of the people were either killed by sea monsters or swallowed up by the spiritual storm.
The bearded man stood at the stern of the boat, looking around at the vast empty sea in front of him, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that he guessed wrong, and the female cultivator who had reached the seventh level of the Golden Core Really died in the storm
The monk who escaped with him that day saw what he was thinking and couldn't help asking.
"Brother Meng, you don't think that the female cultivator we met before can really survive the storm, do you?"
Seeing that the bearded man remained silent, he shook his head.
"Even if that person is lucky enough to survive and can't make it back home, I'm afraid he will die."
The bearded man nodded and said, "You have a point, but that day, we were chased by the storm and huge waves and were only concerned with running for our lives, but she was able to face the storm head-on without any fear.
If you don't have something to rely on, how can you be so calm?"
After hearing what the bearded man said, the man seemed to be thinking, "But today is the day for her to return. If she is alive, why hasn't she returned yet?"
"That's what I don't understand. Maybe after the storm, she was delayed by something else."
The bearded man said, looking away, "The boat is sailing."
The ship has sailed, and there is no point in discussing this any further.
The storm's waning phase will soon be over.
In the sea, it is extremely difficult for a Jindan cultivator to survive the next six months.
Sun Muyun felt complicated because he had lost contact with Xu Chunniang and failed to catch the ship.
He found his uncle and confirmed it personally.
"Fifth uncle, is Fairy Xu really missing?"
The fifth uncle nodded and said, "Someone saw her being swallowed by the storm. I think she met with misfortune more than two months ago."
After hearing the exact news from his uncle, Sun Muyun felt disappointed.
Although Fairy Xu saw through his thoughts and rejected him, she did not mean to look down on him.
Moreover, Xu Xianzi rented a fitness room from Ajie, allowing Ajie to earn a large commission, and he was a benefactor to him and Ajie.
Even though he was rejected by Fairy Xu, Sun Muyun still hoped that she could return safely.
But the ship had already set sail and Fairy Xu had not returned yet.
When he returns, if Senior Linghu and Senior Lingshu ask about it, he may not be able to explain...
In fact, Xu Chunniang did not forget her way home, but was targeted by a big demon in the Nascent Soul stage.
Under extreme body tempering, she had been in the previous storm for less than two months and had already adapted to the spiritual energy that was forty times stronger.
After adapting to the pressure of the storm, the storm and huge waves that engulfed her could no longer restrain her.
After leaving this storm, Xu Chunniang quickly found another slightly stronger spiritual storm and continued to train her body.
After spending half a month adapting, she looked for a stronger storm.
It was while she was training her body here that she encountered a strange-looking water beast.
This beast has a jackal body and a human face, with two wings on its back, and moves like a snake. It is exactly the water beast turning into a snake as recorded in ancient books.
The transformed snake was originally playing in the storm, stirring up trouble and having a great time, until it discovered that a human cultivator in the Jindan stage had intruded into its territory.
The snake immediately became interested in this person. Seeing that her skin and flesh were firm, she should be quite chewy.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in this person's body is extremely abundant, which is simply a tonic delivered to him.
The snake had an idea in its mind, and immediately locked onto the golden elixir cultivator with its spiritual sense. Then it opened its mouth wide and controlled the water flow to send the cultivator into its mouth.
But to the snake's surprise, this human cultivator actually broke free from its consciousness and escaped.
With the delicious food right in its mouth, how could the snake give up? It immediately leaped after it.
It originally thought that it could catch this man with just a casual move, but in fact, it spent a lot of effort and still failed to catch this man.
This made Huashe a little puzzled. This human cultivator was obviously only at the Jindan stage, so why was he so slippery
The patience in the snake's eyes gradually disappeared. Without seeing it making any move, the sea water on all sides suddenly rose up, forming a siege and rushing towards the man.
Glancing at the rising sea water around her, Xu Chunniang's eyes were filled with solemnity.
Fortunately, this transformed snake was not known for its speed, so she was able to barely create some distance between herself and it, but she was unable to completely get rid of it.
Keep escaping like this is not a long-term solution.
When one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, one can communicate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy is much more abundant than that of the Golden Core cultivator.
When the spiritual energy in her body is exhausted, she will only fall into a more passive situation.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, and a bottle of heavy water appeared silently, turning into a black armor that wrapped her body tightly.
Then, without waiting for the waves to hit her from all directions, she activated the Meteorite Heart Flame and took the initiative to meet the huge waves from all directions.
Since there is no way to avoid it, then... fight!
Although this transformed snake is ferocious, she has never slacked off in refining her mind and strengthening her body since she started practicing Taoism.
Even when facing an enemy who is at a higher level than her, she is never willing to surrender.
Seeing the large flames lighting up around the famous cultivator, a look of surprise flashed in Huashe's eyes.
From the fire, it actually felt a hint of threat.
Once this person eats the fire, the fire will belong to him.
There was a surge of fighting spirit in the snake's eyes, and a vast amount of spiritual energy burst out, causing wave after wave of ocean to slam down fiercely.
"Tsk..."
In the face of the seemingly endless waves, the Meteoric Heart Flame only lasted for four or five breaths before it went out.
As the flame of the Meteorite Heart Flame went out, a huge wave containing tremendous spiritual power hit Xu Chunniang directly.
With a "crack", the heavy water armor also shattered.
Xu Chunniang groaned, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes.
When she encountered this giant snake demon, she had already adapted to spiritual energy fifty times stronger.
Originally, I thought that with the strength of her muscles, bones and flesh at this moment, even if she was defeated by the Nascent Soul demon, she would not be completely powerless to fight back.
But the sea monsters that can survive in the Western Sea are no ordinary ones.
The sea monsters here are generally much stronger than those in the outside world, and the snakes are no exception.
Seeing the waves coming one after another, Xu Chunniang no longer hesitated, and decisively circulated her innate purple energy to form the Tai Chi diagram.
In the Tai Chi diagram, there is Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin. Yin and Yang are in harmony, hardness and softness coexist, and it can attack and defend.
It looks inconspicuous, as if it would be broken by a wave, but it blocked wave after wave of attacks.
These huge waves hit the Tai Chi diagram, and their force was instantly reduced by three points.
The remaining seven points fell on Xu Chunniang, which was just the limit she could bear.
The snake controlling the water in the distance saw this scene and a look of surprise flashed in its eyes.
What was so strange about that black and white circle that it could actually block its magical power
