Three Immortal Island Secret Realm, atop Penglai Immortal Island.

Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow floated in mid-air, and a cluster of star-like spirit light surged in the sky, slowly dissipating.

The bow appeared to breathe a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the Great Wilderness Star River Pearl beside it.

"Stop sleeping, get up!" A large hand made of golden light emerged and strongly patted the Great Wilderness Star River Pearl.

The Great Wilderness Star River Pearl trembled twice, and a silver-clothed girl slowly emerged from within.

"Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow, why are you here? Why have you awakened me?" The girl appeared to be only about twelve or thirteen years old, looking drowsy.

"What time do you think it is, and you're still asleep? The Undead Tree Demon has already been eradicated!" said Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow.

The silver-clothed girl became completely alert, her eyes emitting two streaks of silver light a zhang long as she looked around, her face quickly showing excitement.

"So the Old Tree Demon is truly dead! That's great, finally no need to be forced into labor. Who did this?"

"It was a group of outsiders, not only the Undead Tree Demon has fallen but the Evil King Mirror was also taken by them. We can finally breathe easy," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said.

"The Undead Tree Demon is one thing, merely a Spirit Tree brought back from Overseas by our masters, but the Evil King Mirror is from the Demon World. With it being on Three Immortals Island, we could still keep an eye on it. Now that it has been taken away, who knows if it will significantly impact the outside world," the silver-clothed girl said, her smile slowly fading, her tone somewhat worried.

"Who cares? Since those three old geezers left the Evil King Mirror on Three Immortals Island, they implied that outsiders could take it. Why should we worry about that? Speaking of which, with no Undead Tree Demon to hold us back, we can continue what we discussed before," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said cavalierly, quickly changing the topic.

"You still plan to go to sea! Both of us know the dangers of the Overseas World. Although this Three Immortal Island space serves as a barrier, delving too deep into the Overseas is risky, no one can guarantee that Three Immortal Island space can protect us. Just the Whale Calamity alone, we can't break through, not to mention the subsequent Demon Song and the Wind Sea. You better drop that idea quickly," the silver-clothed girl's face showed fear, her head shaking like a rattle-drum.

"I am well aware of the dangers of the Overseas World. I don't plan to go too far, just need to get past the Whale Calamity to obtain some Three Light Divine Water, and refine our bodies, preparing for future advancement," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said.

"Are you sure you can get past the Whale Calamity?" the silver-clothed girl uttered softly, somewhat hesitantly.

Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow didn't respond; the bow's body shook slightly, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, it was the missing Qiong Yun.

Qiong Yun was in a deep sleep and had undergone a significant transformation, her skin now displayed many bizarre blue patterns that emitted a faint demon energy.

"This pattern…" the silver-clothed girl's expression changed.

"Indeed, these are the Azure Sea Whale Veins. This woman is a human-demon hybrid, and contains the bloodline power of the Azure Sea's Blue Whale King. If we can stimulate it, there's a great chance of getting past the Whale Calamity," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said.

"If it truly is the Bloodline Power of the Azure Sea's Blue Whale King, there really is a great chance of overcoming the Whale Calamity. Let's not delay, let's start right away! Wait, where's the Lank Chessboard? Stimulating the Bloodline Power takes time, his Lank Chess Formation would have been perfect to help delay time," the silver-clothed girl initially rejoiced, then looked around and asked.

"Black and White sacrificed his body, shifted into a replicated Spiritual Treasure brought by outsiders, taking the opportunity to break free from the island's Forbidden restrictions, and followed those people to the outside," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow explained.

"Is that so? Lank schemed for many years and has finally left this cage, maybe he was right," the silver-clothed girl said.

"To each their own, let's not talk about him anymore, we better start preparing. We need to leave before the next storm in the Wind Sea, otherwise we'll have to wait another few hundred years," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow urged.

...

The place where Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow sent Yuan Ming and the others wasn't far from the Overseas World; they arrived within half a day with the speed of Lei Yu.

"This is the Overseas World, truly magnificent!" Yuan Ming stood up, exclaiming in awe.

The sea area beneath him had wind and waves as well, at most about twenty or thirty zhang high, but several miles away the sea surface suddenly boiled, lifting waves ten times higher and visible tornadoes pulling the seawater into towering water columns reaching the heavens.

Above the sky, dark clouds piled up layer upon layer, many thick thunder and lightning moving about; occasionally when thunder and lightning collided and converged, it would create a dazzling area of thunder spanning several mu, or even tens of mu.

Many giant thunders, Thunder Balls fell from the thunder area, destroying the towering waves below, the void vibrated, and it seemed like the heavens and the earth were about to collapse.

Although Yuan Ming had heard about the harsh environment of the Overseas World several times, seeing it for the first time still left him astonished.

The environment of the outer sea was harsh enough, but compared to the Overseas World, it was practically a tranquil and peaceful paradise. No wonder even a Returning Void existence like the Shura Master couldn't cross it.

"Gaga…" Lei Yu flapped its wings excitedly, as if the violent scene of thunder and lightning stirred its innate demon beast ferocity.

"This Thunder Wing Bird of yours is quite exceptional. Ordinary demon beasts would be terrified by the atmosphere of the Overseas World, yet it shows no fear," Xi Ying's voice sounded in Yuan Ming's ear.

Yuan Ming looked at the Thunder Wing Bird beneath him. During the previous Immortal Fruit Conference, someone had discussed this bird, believing it contained the bloodline power of the ancient Thunder Peng. He had heard them but hadn't paid much attention. Could it possibly be true?

"Master, may I go to cultivate amidst the outer thunder clouds?" Lei Yu transmitted a message asking.

"There are numerous dangers ahead, and the thunder and lightning there are violent and brutal, incomparable to those in the inner and outer seas," Yuan Ming said.

"Master, rest assured, I know my limits. I will only cultivate nearby and not venture too far. Moreover, for some reason, the environment ahead gives me a long-lost sense of familiarity," Lei Yu said.

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and took out the Thunder God Bombarding Divine Hammer and threw it out, "If that's the case, then go ahead and take this Magic Treasure to protect your body."

The Thunder God Bombarding Divine Hammer needed to absorb a massive amount of the power of thunder and lightning to unleash its full might, and the thunderstorms rampant in the clouds of the Overseas World made it the perfect place.

With the Thunder God Bombarding Divine Hammer for protection, Lei Yu's safety would have an additional layer of assurance.

Knowing the Thunder God Bombarding Divine Hammer, Lei Yu thanked him profusely, swallowed it, and with a flap of his wings, entered the Overseas World. He struggled through the hurricane and finally plunged headfirst into the thunderclouds hanging mid-air.

Yuan Ming watched closely ahead while the Undying Tree Roots in his Dantian primed themselves for action.

The demon power of the Undying Tree had risen to the peak of Level 4 by now, and the reach of its roots had greatly increased, sufficient to rescue Lei Yu.

As soon as he flew into the thunderclouds, Lei Yu activated his divine power to summon thunder and lightning, forming a large swath of rain clouds around him and drawing in the nearby power of thunder and lightning.

Sizzle...

The thunder and lightning that wildly darted about in the cloud layer were drawn toward Lei Yu.

In the Overseas World, not only was the thunder and lightning intense, but it was also exceptionally violent; Lei Yu's body emitted crackling sounds, and many areas on his skin showed burnt marks.

Yet, Lei Yu did not scream in pain. Instead, excitement shone in his eyes, as if he immensely enjoyed the baptism of the violent thunder and lightning.

A sharp, piercing cry emanated from within the thunderclouds as Lei Yu stimulated the thunder-absorbing ability of the Thunder God Bombarding Divine Hammer within him and spread his wings.

Hundreds of lightning arcs shot out from above, attracting even more thunder and lightning power.

The burnt marks on Lei Yu's body multiplied, and he began to lose feathers, yet the demonic energy within him did not diminish but rather started to increase.

"To be able to directly use the power of thunder and lightning to temper your body, it seems this Thunder Wing Bird truly has a trace of the Thunder Peng bloodline; its future potential should not be underestimated," Xi Ying remarked.

"Lei Yu is indeed extraordinary, but Xi Ying, you wouldn't have brought me here just to enjoy the view of the Overseas World, right?" Yuan Ming replied.

"What, you have complaints about accompanying me here?" Xi Ying snorted softly.

"Of course not, but you've always been extremely methodical in your actions. Right now, with the Wu Yue Sect massively attacking the East Sea, the situation in the Inner Sea must be chaotic. You probably aren't in the mood to just enjoy the scenery, are you?" Yuan Ming remarked.

"In your eyes, am I someone who loves stirring trouble and is keen on conflicts?" Xi Ying said with an unexpected expression.

"I didn't say that, but you previously mentioned dealing with the Wu Yue Sect, and now they've already reached into the East Sea. Can you afford to continue staying here?" Yuan Ming said.

"You guessed right. Besides sightseeing, I indeed have another purpose here. I need to hunt a few Ghost-faced Fish and extract some fish oil, which thrive at the boundary between the Overseas World and the outer sea," Xi Ying said after a moment of silence.

Guoguo opened her mouth and spat out a Jade Scroll, which landed in front of Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming activated his Divine Sense to probe, and the Jade Scroll contained detailed information about the Ghost-faced Fish, a Level 4 demon beast skilled in Concealment and stealth attacks, though not particularly powerful in combat.

"So it's such a minor matter. Don't worry, leave it to me," Yuan Ming said without inquiring about Xi Ying's need for the fish oil and nodded.

The Divine Sense enhanced by the Stealing Heaven Tripod could penetrate anything, perfectly countering the Concealing Divine Power of the Ghost-faced Fish. With his current strength, a mere Level 4 Ghost-faced Fish was nothing more than an easy catch.

"Master, let me handle this. I, too, want to stretch my limbs in the Overseas World," Hua Zhi flew out from the Spiritual Beast Bag, patting her chest as she spoke.

"Sure, your regenerative ability is very strong, so wandering around the outskirts of the Overseas World should be safe," Yuan Ming, startled, handed the Jade Scroll to Hua Zhi.

Hua Zhi cheered excitedly, flew into the sea, and submerged.

Yuan Ming let Hua Zhi replace him for a reason; he was busy with many things at the moment and somewhat overwhelmed.

He put Guoguo into Stealing Heaven Tripod and then also dived into the sea, quickly reaching the seabed.

Yuan Ming opened up a simple Cave Mansion at the seabed, spread a Barrier with the Silver Token, took out a stick of Possession Black Incense, lit it, and placed it into the Stealing Heaven Tripod to activate the possessing divine power.

His consciousness plunged into darkness and soon regained clarity, now possessing Wulu's body.

Wulu was currently unconscious, the Blood Puppet Armor had already been retracted, lying within a blood-red space inside a Jade coffin, which appeared to be sarcophagus-shaped.

Many patterns were engraved on the coffin wall, faintly glowing with spirit light, clearly no ordinary object.

Yuan Ming carefully examined these patterns and soon determined they were Corpse Refining Runes, totaling eighty-one in number, similar to those of the Black Fire Sect but even more profound.

Strings of Blood Light emanated from the eighty-one Corpse Refining Runes and merged into various parts of Wulu's body, slowly transforming his flesh.
