Chapter 162: Chapter 66: Treasure Hunt in the Deep Sea

After repeatedly checking several times,

Li Jizhou finally had to admit that Gua Gua really exceeded his expectations!

“Does this count as breaking the Destiny Law?”

Thinking carefully, it’s not entirely so; there’s too much opportunity and coincidence involved.

Celestial Pure Water, Blood Evil Pill, especially Bai Yi’s contribution at a critical moment… all these are opportunities.

However, its own will… is equally extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Li Jizhou immediately looked towards Gua Gua.

Gua Gua felt the gaze and turned to look back.

Their eyes met…

Li Jizhou felt a tremor in his heart.

Even though Gua Gua had just entered Tier Three at Half-step Golden Core, the oppressive pressure of its Golden Core’s Dao Charm was definitely not comparable to ordinary True Core.

Li Jizhou actually felt a bit uneasy being stared at by those frog eyes.

Besides, after Gua Gua ascended to Tier Three, its original eyes underwent some change.

The originally black pupils even glimmered with an unusual color, and just by looking into them, one’s mind seemed to be on the verge of falling into them.

Li Jizhou discreetly looked away, avoiding Gua Gua’s eyes, and asked in a deep voice: “Three fragmentation of the Demon Core, how did you do it?”

“Gua~” Gua Gua shrank its head shyly and communicated with Divine Sense.

Li Jizhou learned the reason and was momentarily stunned.

It turned out that when this guy was fragmenting the Demon Core, it worried about its own low bloodline level, being unable to completely shatter the core, and fearing the suffocating feeling of Spiritual Pressure, so it self-created an illusion to convince itself of having a divine bloodline, and weakened the pain caused by Spiritual Pressure!

“…” Li Jizhou was speechless for a long time.

Then Li Jizhou remembered the matter of the Rong family’s Spirit Blood Pool.

As it turns out, Gua Gua said that was the first time it discovered the illusion could be used like that!

“…” For a moment, there were no words.

“Gua Gua~” seeing Li Jizhou silent, Gua Gua anxiously asked about Bai Yi’s condition.

Li Jizhou told it that Bai Yi’s vitality was greatly damaged and he was recuperating.

Gua Gua seemed a bit lost.

“Don’t worry, with me here, he won’t be in trouble. You should quickly stabilize your realm.”

Until half a day later when Gua Gua completely stabilized its realm.

Li Jizhou took everything down, removed the array and walked out.

As soon as he came out,

Master Shangshan and Yan Wenjue respectfully greeted him.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist Huang, for your beloved pet’s promotion to Tier Three Great Demon; it’s truly delightful!”

Li Jizhou smiled slightly: “Thank you, fellow Daoists.”

“Fellow Daoist Huang, the old me has arranged a feast for the celebration of your pet’s promotion. I wonder…” Master Shangshan saw Li Jizhou come in and out without much change and relaxed his heart, quickly asked.

Li Jizhou waved his hand: “Master Shangshan’s kind gesture, Huang acknowledges it, but Huang has urgent matters to return to, and cannot stay long!”

“Fellow Daoist Huang, we…” Yan Wenjue also hurriedly stepped forward.

However, Li Jizhou likewise gave her no chance.

With a decline and a farewell, he flew away from the sea surface.

He didn’t need to consider what those two thought; after all, this skin is unlikely to be used again.

With several turns, Li Jizhou returned to Linglong Island’s residence under the identity of Zhang Ruoyu.

“Tier Four Dragon Saliva Cold Gold…” During the time he let Gua Gua settle down, Li Jizhou looked towards the northern Tier Three deep sea region with great anticipation.

Four years ago, Han Di tracked Gua Gua and unexpectedly brought not only another part of the Crystal Condensing Pill materials and numerous Tier Two natural treasures but also info on Tier Four Dragon Saliva Cold Gold.

Now, with Gua Gua promoted to Tier Three Great Demon, he could finally attempt treasure hunting.

Once obtaining Tier Four Dragon Saliva Cold Gold, with his nearly seven years at the Five Elders Association Sea Domain and daily observation and comprehension of Dao Patterns on the Heart-Burning Furnace, he had some semblance of confidence to craft his own Life Magical Artifact.

Crafting a Life Magical Artifact doesn’t have much correlation with the Artifact Refiner tier, which corresponds to the crafting grade of Magical Artifacts. Yet, a Life Magical Artifact initially is the lowest tier, suitable to nurture inside the Dantian.

So, Tier One Artifact Refining skill suffices.

Most importantly, it has Dao Patterns capable of bestowing life aura to the Magical Artifact.

The only concern was whether Bai Yi’s True Flame could melt the Tier Four treasured material!

However, Bai Yi now recuperating leaves this temporarily unknown.

“If there were Tier Two Array inheritance, and if a Separation Fire Heart Burning Array could be laid, Bai Yi’s original True Flame should suffice to melt Tier Four treasure!”

Currently, the Array inheritance was still from the Inverted Mountain departure, acquired from the Black Mountain Hunter robber repair’s Tier One Array inheritance.

He had studied it thoroughly a long time ago; only lacks Tier Two Array inheritance.

The path of Array requires talent more than anything, where talent mainly refers to perception.

Without perception, one cannot deduce, cannot integrate thoroughly.

And perception happens to be Li Jizhou’s major advantage.

Yet, for most Loose Cultivators, perception is incredibly mysterious, and there’s no specific way to cultivate it. Hence, similar to the path of puppetry, few people study it, and little inheritance circulates in the world.

Especially for Tier Two and above inheritances, very few, and back in Golden Crow Immortal City, Li Jizhou too searched extensively but found nothing.

“Array inheritance… Now Tier Two of talisman crafting is perfect, Tier Two in alchemy is perfect, Tier Two in medial poison is perfect, Tier Two in puppetry is perfect, and there’s even Tier Three inheritance yet unstudied, but Tier One in artifact refining is enough for crafting the Life Magical Artifact…”

After contemplating for a moment.

“The array must advance, and should be largely developed subsequently!”

Li Jizhou’s demand for arrays mainly stemmed from long-distance teleportation.

Moreover, a Tier Three Talisman Master can barely draw a small Teleportation Talisman that is truly a lifesaver, but its creation requires integration of Teleportation Array’s related Array Patterns.

After the clear target, Li Jizhou no longer dwelled on it.

Currently at Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense comparable to Late Stage; he could only perform Tier Two techniques, so it’s not urgent for now.

Cultivation power is the most crucial and fundamental reliance!

Six months later, Gua Gua stabilized at Tier Three Early Stage and officially ventured out.

“This time give it your all, strive to get as much as possible; if there’s enough Tier Four treasured material, I might consider crafting a Life Magical Artifact for you too, to be nurtured with your own Demon Pill.” Before setting off, Li Jizhou earnestly encouraged Gua Gua.

“Gua~” Gua Gua rejoiced; if Li Jizhou kept his word, it might become the first demon beast with a Life Magical Artifact in this Sea Domain!

A month later, riding on Gua Gua’s back, Li Jizhou reached the Tier Three demon beast rampant zone, miles away from the Five Elders Association Sea Domain.

This area frequently has Spiritual Energy storms; Li Jizhou didn’t dare ride the Flying Ship, instead letting Gua Gua carry him.

Upon encountering a storm, they would submerge deep into the ocean to avoid danger.

Moreover, all along the way, Li Jizhou was circling around according to Han Zhuo’s memory fragments, and now he roughly determined the location.

Only that position was almost in the core activity area of Tier Three demon beasts, and he dared not approach.

For the time being, he had Gua Gua stop at the periphery.

“If you encounter danger, don’t act rashly, immediately trigger the Divine Speed Talisman to escape!” Li Jizhou handed the Tier Two high-quality Divine Speed Talisman to Gua Gua and said solemnly.

Although Gua Gua now became a Tier Three Great Demon, it couldn’t yet roam freely in this Sea Domain.

Within it were many Tier Three Mid Stage and even Late Stage Great Demons.

Moreover, once a demon beast ascends to Tier Three, its body contains a Demon Pill that becomes very attractive to other demon beasts.

By devouring the Demon Pill, one could nourish their own Demon Pill.

After receiving the command, Gua Gua shared vision with Li Jizhou and left following the guidance.

Li Jizhou then submerged into the sea, using chessboard array to hide his form, and then activated Tier Two Restriction Talisman protection.

Subsequently, his vision followed Gua Gua into the deep-sea zone…
