Because Qingfeng Li used the Fire Dragon Fist, he consumed all of the vital essence in his body. He had to be carried back to the ship by Flower Fairy.
Although the Fire Dragon Fist was strong, its sequela was too heavy for Qingfeng to bear.
The Sea Turtle Demon King's Ddmonic nucleus fell down from the sky and into the deep sea. Qingfeng Li's face changed and said weakly, "Hurry, go pick up the demonic nucleus."
Just when Flower Fairy was about to grab the nucleus, Black Puppy suddenly jumped off the passenger ship and arrived at the green sphere before her. He took a bite and swallowed the demonic nucleus instantly into his stomach.
"Puppy! Who said you could eat the demonic nucleus?" Flower Fairy's charming face turned red as she questioned coldly.
It was already known that this green demonic nucleus contained a powerful long-distance attack at the Spirit King level. It could be considered as a half-step Spirit King Realm demonic nucleus.
Flower Fairy wanted to feed the demonic nucleus to Qingfeng so that he could recover his strength, and she definitely didn't think that Black Puppy would steal it from her. She was furious.
Qingfeng Li was enraged as well. This Black Puppy was really too shameless.
Qingfeng Li fought to exhaustion to kill that Sea Turtle Demon King, but, in the end, Black Puppy took advantage of him.
After Black Puppy ate the green demonic nucleus, its body grew by five centimeters, and its eyes exuded sharp energy.
Although Qingfeng Li could not figure out Black Puppy's strength, he knew this puppy was a lot stronger than before, to the point where it was not much weaker than himself.
Flower Fairy was very mad at Black Puppy and wanted to give it a beating, but seeing Qingfeng Li's anemic body, she gave up on the idea.
Flower Fairy hurried back to Qingfeng Li and took out some elixirs and vitality stones. She fed it to Qingfeng Li and helped him restore his vital essence.
Qingfeng Li's strength recovered a small bit after eating Flower Fairy's elixirs as he refined those spirit stone. However, he only recovered one-tenth of his strength, and was far from a full recovery.
Qingfeng Li took out some of his own vitality stones and elixirs as well. These were obtained from his victory over other self-cultivators and now was the perfect time to use them.
Qingfeng Li took the elixirs and refined the vitality stones. His vital essence was now half recovered.
Qingfeng Li stood back up. Although he looked a bit pale, his body seemed to be fine now and he could maneuver freely.
After killing the Sea Turtle Demon King, the ocean was peaceful again, and the passenger ship continued to set sail towards Huaxia.
Could the ocean actually be peaceful? Of course not, because it was always more dangerous to travel in the sea than on land.
As the passenger ship traveled to the center of the Pacific Ocean, nine water pillars suddenly appeared in front of them. The water columns rose straight into the sky as high as a few hundred meters, blocking the way for the cruise ship.
Qingfeng Li and the others stood on the deck of the cruise ship and looked at the nine water pillars in front of them with concern. Sensing the power maintaining these nine water pillars, they were frightened.
"The Nine Dragon Water Pillar. It's actually the Nine Dragon Water Pillar." Black Puppy's face changed too, as it exclaimed in shock.
Qingfeng Li frowned and asked, "What is the Nine Dragon Water Pillar?"
Black Puppy's face became serious and it explained, "The overlord in the ocean is the dragon. They are the ancient godly beasts, powerful forces that control the Eastern Sea, Western Sea, and Northern Sea. We are now in the Eastern Sea based on the Earth's geography, and this is the territory of the Eastern Sea Dragon King. Only the people of the Dragon Palace can summon the Nine Dragon Water Pillar."
After listening to black puppy, Qingfeng Li nodded. Black Puppy was indeed an ancient spiritual beast. Being able to survive from the ancient era until now, it had to have gotten to know a lot of the Earth's secrets.
However, Qingfeng Li was still feeling skeptical because it came out from Black Puppy's mouth. In his mind, the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was just a place in the legends.
Black Puppy saw that Qingfeng Li was suspicious, so it said, "The Forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountain is real, the Celestial Emperor and Empress are also real, the Dimension Guardian that you saw was also real, so you do not have to doubt the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace's existence. It's also real."
Qingfeng Li suddenly realized that he had just entered a forbidden zone. Earth was different from the past now, with magical powers, ancient treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixirs. They had all started appearing one after another.
Like the Golden Calabash Qingfeng Li obtained, it was possessed by Earth's Golden Saint, during the ancient era.
"Human, you have breached our Dragon King Palace's territory," a crisp and sweet voice sounded from below the Nine Dragon Water Pillar.
Once Qingfeng heard the voice, he quivered at this strange voice. Needless to say, he could tell it was the voice of a woman, a pretty young one as well.
"We need to cross this path. Please let us proceed," Qingfeng Li smiled and said.
Qingfeng Li was very anxious as he needed to hurry back to Huaxia to hold a wedding with Xue Lin. He did not want any delay.
Qingfeng Li had good intentions, but the woman below the Nine Dragon Water Pillar certainly would not agree.
"In order to pass, you must hand over a king tier spiritual device," the crispy female voice responded from beneath the Nine Dragon Water Pillar. It did not intend to let Qingfeng Li pass through it quickly.
As soon as Qingfeng Li heard the words "King tier spiritual device", his face changed. King-tier spiritual devices were treasures that only Spirit King Realm masters could use effectively. Of course, he could not surrender it.
"I don't have one," Qingfeng Li smiled and responded.
In fact, that was a lie. He had two king-tier spiritual devices on him, the Green Tower and Golden Calabash, but he would not surrender these two pieces because they were of great use to him.
"Do not lie to me. I can sense the aura of a king-tier spiritual device on you," the crispy female voice replied.
As the voice dropped, a beautiful girl emerged from below the Nine Dragon Water Pillar. The girl, only seventeen or eighteen years old, landed on the deck. She looked as if she was a high school student, and she was gorgeous.
The young girl had pure, white skin, like a snow lotus. Her nose was well crafted, and her red lips looked tender and attractive. Beneath those thin eyelashes laid her black eyes, especially charming and appealing. As she swirled down, it looked like a black gem falling from the sky.
Although this young girl was not old, her figure was well developed. She was already quite blossomed, with a slim waist like a willow.
The young girl did not wear any shoes; her bare feet were like jade. Her ankles were snowy white and were attached with two purple bells. The bells sounded crystal clear and were very soothing.
No doubt the girl was a beauty, but her most attractive feature of all was her hair and forehead. She had purple hair shining like purple crystals, flowing in the wind. She was very attractive.
As for her forehead, it was smooth and glowing. She had a small purple bump, only a few centimeters high, like a horn.
