Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 751 - 347: Dragon Slayer (Part 2)

"This is the ’Spirit Communication Crystal’, which I’ve used to track the Cyan Evil Flood Dragon’s movements," said the Celestial Alchemist.

As he spoke, he lightly tapped the crystal ball with his fingertip, causing a flash of spiritual light.

Immediately, a deep blue sea scene emerged within the crystal ball, prominently featuring a gigantic flood dragon, a hundred feet long.

Its entire body was jade green, its scales shimmering with a ghostly chill, horns like knives, claws like hooks, surrounded by an extremely dense Water Element Spiritual Qi.

"Cyan Evil looks exactly like this."

The Celestial Alchemist’s expression was solemn. "It dwells in the deepest part of the Abyss of Many Scales, a place where Water Element Spirit Veins converge, with immense water pressure that even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would find suppressive."

"However, I have discovered its travel pattern of once every eight cycles."

"On the day of the new moon, it will swim out of the abyss to a nearby area rich in spiritual qi to absorb it."

"Tomorrow is the new moon, the best time for us to take action."

Watching the flood dragon’s aura surging within the crystal ball, Xu Ping maintained a peculiar feeling.

This flood dragon is indeed a notch stronger than the average peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but it is still quite a gap compared to him.

Especially with the Sword Array perfected and the Wood Spirit Avatar in perfection, even in single combat, he can absolutely defeat this flood dragon, although killing it might be more difficult.

....

The next day, as the new moon rose, the sky darkened slightly, and the sea surface shimmered with silver light.

The Celestial Alchemist eagerly led the three of them to an ocean abyss.

"Fellow Daoists, the Cyan Evil has already left the Abyss of Many Scales, heading towards the place where the spiritual qi converges,"

At this time, the Celestial Alchemist’s transmitted voice reached their ears, "As per usual, it will first absorb spiritual qi at the convergence point for a day, and then return to the abyss."

"We must set up the array on its return journey!"

The three immediately understood, each taking out an array flag. The flags were entirely blue, inscribed with complex and arcane runes that flickered with faint light.

With the infusion of the four people’s spiritual power, the flags trembled slightly, the runes lit up, and beams of blue light shot from the flags, weaving into a vast Water Element network in the void.

As the Spirit Root continued to operate, this net became denser and larger, soon covering a hundred-mile radius of the sea.

Consequently, the four and the Water Lake Rat’s aura and forms vanished without a trace, completely hidden by the array.

From afar, besides the empty sea surface, there was no unusual phenomenon, marvelously exquisite.

Within the array, Xu Ping sat in mid-air, eyes closed, meditating.

The Water Lake Rat transformed into a purple light, hiding in the sea below his feet.

With some time before the Cyan Evil’s return, patience in waiting was naturally required.

Suddenly, a subtle spatial disturbance, like ripples, spread out, disrupting the tranquility of this sea area.

That fluctuation was weak yet extremely distinct, carrying a foreign aura.

"Hmm?"

Xu Ping abruptly opened his eyes, a glint flashed across his eyes, his expression stern.

This spatial fluctuation differed entirely from ordinary spiritual qi fluctuations, seemingly carrying a hint of foreign aura, making him alert.

"Friend, do not be anxious, the spatial fluctuations between the Nanchuan Realm and the Wind Origin Realm are becoming more frequent nowadays, it’s quite normal,"

The Celestial Alchemist explained via transmitted voice upon noticing Xu Ping’s change.

"Normal?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping frowned tightly. His vigilance did not diminish in the slightest, but he said nothing more.

With only a few hours left until Cyan Evil’s return, he naturally would not leave alone due to a mere spatial fluctuation.

Moreover, with his current strength, even if something unexpected happened, he was more than capable of safeguarding himself.

Seven or eight hours passed again.

At the horizon’s edge, the setting sun leaned westward, dyeing the entire sea a golden red.

The sunset, like fire, blurred into a splendid color at the junction of sea and sky.

The sea breeze gently brushed, carrying a slightly salty tang, gliding over the calm sea surface.

"Roar——"

A thunderous roar echoed from the distant seabed, filled with anger and surprise, causing the sea to churn violently for miles around.

Clearly, the Cyan Evil Flood Dragon had detected something amiss.

"The Cyan Evil Flood Dragon has entered the array!"

The Celestial Alchemist’s excited voice spread in all directions via divine sense, his tone filled with undisguised excitement, "Fellow Daoists, stabilize the array’s footing, do not let it escape!"

In fact, there’s no need for the Celestial Alchemist’s reminder, as Xu Ping and the others already took action when the Cyan Evil Flood Dragon entered the array.

Each of them controlled the array flag in their hand, continuously channeling mana into it, enhancing the Dragon-locking Array’s power increasingly.

At this moment, the sea suddenly boiled over, countless bubbles emerging and the seawater was lifted several feet high by a powerful force!

"Who dares to plot against this dragon!!"

From the ocean depths, a pair of icy dragon eyes slowly opened, the bluish gaze full of ferocity and murderous intent.

Feeling the force binding it, the Cyan Evil Flood Dragon was immediately filled with rage.

Its green scales stood up, its dragon aura surged to the sky, and with a flick of its tail, it attempted to break free from the array.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion occurred, the entire array shook violently, yet it was not breached.

The Cyan Evil roared repeatedly, only to find its power greatly diminished and its divine techniques difficult to wield as desired.

"This array is indeed wondrous,"

Xu Ping silently nodded, continuing to stabilize the array’s core.

He could clearly feel the Dragon-locking Array’s significant suppressive effect on the Cyan Evil Flood Dragon.

At this moment, the Celestial Alchemist’s voice came again, "Everyone, strike quickly while it’s constrained by the array!"
