CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 193: WHITE SAND ISLAND_3

At this moment, he had an idea.

He was intent on using Li Yunjing in tomorrow’s action, letting him die amidst the chaos, and then seizing Yu Yunyi to humiliate her.

The thought of his vile plan made Lord Ting Tao extremely excited.

"Hehe! My wife and I are quite interested in tomorrow’s events."

Did Li Yunjing not know what this man was plotting?

However, as long as this person didn’t openly turn against him, there was still room to maneuver.

Li Yunjing was willing to engage in a battle of wits with him.

"Hehe! You two are both experts, unlike ordinary Loose Cultivators. Tomorrow, you can come to the dock to find me, and I will arrange for you to board my ’Haitao Sect’s’ main warship. It’s safer and more comfortable there."

Lord Ting Tao said with a squinting smile.

"Sure thing! See you tomorrow!"

Li Yunjing responded nonchalantly and then left with Yu Yunyi.

"Hehe..."

Watching the backs of Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, Lord Ting Tao let out a cold laugh. It wasn’t until their figures disappeared that he left the square.

He was seething with anger, planning to find a few women to vent his frustration.

...

That day, the news Lord Ting Tao spread quickly circulated throughout "White Sand Island."

This news stirred up all the cultivators on "White Sand Island."

Many people were calculating their plans in their minds.

Even other factions started to make moves, preparing to compete with the Wang Family, Ma Family, and Haitao Sect.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi visited several shops, bought a lot of supplies, and then found an inn to settle down in.

At the moment, in a large palace in the southeastern part of "White Sand Island," three people were discussing something.

If Li Yunjing were here, he would be greatly surprised.

One of them was Lin Kai!

"Big brother, the news we released this time is going to bring us a big score. We will wipe out all the factions in one fell swoop!"

"As long as this plan succeeds, we will have enough resources to quickly elevate our cultivation and dominate White Sand Island!"

Lin Kai said with a grin.

The palace, with its ornate beams and painted rafters, was resplendent with gold and jade.

Around a long table sat three people—two men and one woman.

The leader, an old man with piercing eyes and a face as fair and tender as a baby’s, had long hair draping over his shoulders, exuding a carefree demeanor.

This was Lin Kai’s elder brother, a former Golden Core Realm master who had been demoted.

"Second brother, still, we must proceed with caution!"

The old man spoke with an aged, mountain-like immovability and strong aura.

"Hehe, big brother, what is there to fear! Our layout is complete. The Wang Family, Ma Family, Haitao Sect, and even other forces have all stepped into the trap!"

The seductive woman laughed and said, "This time, the Quirky Rock Sea Region will witness a bloody storm! Once they have exhausted themselves, we can play the fisherman benefiting from the struggle of the clams and crane!"

"Hahaha! Third sister is right!"

Lin Kai laughed and said, "These junior cultivators are truly greedy! Such a simple ruse works every time; as long as there’s a sliver of hope, they charge without hesitation like moths to a flame."

At this, Lin Kai sighed softly.

He seemed to pity those small figures, but there was a hint of mockery in his pity.

"Aren’t we the same?"

After a moment of silence, the old man chuckled softly and said, "Back then, for a vague treasure map, the seven of us Golden Core Realm cultivators crossed the South Sea to enter the Southern Heaven Continent. How different were we from them?"

His words left the other two momentarily stunned.

"It is indeed the same logic!"

Lin Kai was startled, then laughed wryly.

"Alas! As cultivators, we compete with the heavens, driven by fate beyond our control!"

Seemingly recalling the tragic events upon entering the South Sea, the woman’s face showed unnatural emotions as she sighed deeply.

"Forget it! Let’s not dwell on these unhappy memories!"

The old man said, "At least we survived! We still have a chance to regain our peak! Sadly, our other four sworn brothers and sister perished in the vast sea."

Hearing the elder brother’s words, the two others looked downcast.

"I don’t even know if what we’re doing is right or wrong!"

Lin Kai sighed, "If we hadn’t come to the South Sea, would we have already become overlords of an area in the Canglan Continent? Over so many years, if we had used the time to strive, we might have had distinguished status and boundless resources."

"Hehe! Those resources, no matter how good, can’t compare with the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The old man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "To attain the Nascent Soul Realm, why not risk everything?"

"Indeed! Everything is for the path of cultivation!"

Lin Kai and the woman agreed firmly, nodding their heads.

The Nascent Soul Realm and the Golden Core Realm are two entirely different concepts!

Two thousand years of lifespan, along with the power to dominate a continent.

Only then can one be considered a true figure of importance!

If Qi Cultivation Realm is akin to a commoner in the Cultivation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm is akin to a country squire, and Golden Core Realm is like a City Lord.

Then the Nascent Soul Realm is akin to an overlord figure of a continent.

In this realm, overturning rivers and seas, destroying a country, is as easy as pie.

A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator already possesses Land Immortal-level combat power.

Lin Kai and his three siblings harbored the same intense desire for this distant realm.

They chose the adventure of pursuing a higher cultivation level over the comfort of enjoying the privileges and life-and-death adventures of Golden Core Realm cultivators.

This was their yearning for the Nascent Soul Realm.

No matter how much power, beauty, or wealth cultivators possess.

All these things become insignificant before a higher realm.

For a higher realm, why not take the risk?

"By the way, my people have spotted ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’s’ Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi. They have finally arrived at ’White Sand Island’."

As if suddenly remembering something, the old man said.

"Oh?"

Lin Kai was startled, laughed, and said, "My divination had no errors! Looks like even with my lowered cultivation, ’Celestial Secret Technique’ in my hands can still be accurate seven or eight times out of ten."
