Family cultivation of immortality: from Fairy Cat Valley to the Nine Divine Realms

Chapter 1872 Encountering a Void Mayfly at the Peak of True Immortal

The Eighth Tower, outside the secret cultivation area.

Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er stood side by side.

Behind each of them, a Great Dao Ferry manifested.

Zhang Xuan's ferry, with its sixteen colors flowing, embodies all laws.

Jiao'er's ferry is a pure, azure blue, frozen in time.

The two auras of mid-stage Golden Immortals intertwined, creating a strange resonance.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoists!"

Xing Can's voice came from afar.

The six elders arrived together, their faces beaming with joy.

Xingyaozi stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction: "In just a few years of seclusion, you two fellow Daoists have both broken through to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal. Such a feat is something I have never heard of in all my long life."

Xing Can's single eye gleamed with admiration: "Indeed, I spent hundreds of years in seclusion to progress from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the middle stage."

Xingyi chuckled and said, "It's about foundation. The two of you have such a strong foundation that it's rare in the world. Your breakthrough today is well-deserved."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said modestly, "Seniors, you flatter us. Without the cultivation secret realm provided by the Starry Sky Ancient Realm, and without your help, we would never have been able to succeed so smoothly."

Xingyaozi waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be modest. The opportunity is yours, the strength is yours, and the breakthrough is yours. I'm just glad that I didn't misjudge you back then."

He paused, his gaze falling on the two of them, and said meaningfully, "Now that you two fellow Daoists have broken through to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal, what's next..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Zhang Xuan understood what he meant.

Void mayfly.

That peak Golden Immortal beast that caused Xingyi's downfall.

That ferocious beast dwells deep within the Sea of ​​Calamity, on the only path leading to the Nine Realms Boundary Membrane.

"Rest assured, senior," Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice. "Now that we have broken through, we will do our utmost to help your realm slay the Void Mayflies."

Xingyaozi gave him a deep look, and finally nodded and said, "Void Mayfly, peak Golden Immortal, skilled in the Dao of Time and Space. This fiend is entrenched in a spacetime turbulence area deep in the Tribulation Sea, which is the place where Xingyi fell back then."

"Although our realm has nine Golden Immortals, three of them are in seclusion and cannot be awakened. Of the remaining six, at least three must be kept in the Starry Sky Ancient Realm to guard against unforeseen circumstances."

He looked at the group of people present: "Therefore, the only ones who can participate in the hunt for the Void Mayflies are myself, Xing Can, Xing Yi, and the two fellow Daoists—a total of five people."

The five of them were about to face a Void Mayfly, a peak Golden Immortal who was skilled in the Dao of Time and Space!

A hint of seriousness flashed in Xing Can's single eye: "A Void Mayfly at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm has combat power far exceeding that of others of the same level. What's even more troublesome is its spatial-temporal talent. It can freely traverse the Sea of ​​Tribulation, coming and going as it pleases. If we can't restrict its movements, we won't even be able to touch its shadow."

Zhang Xuan pondered and said, "The Dao of Time and Space... I have refined the crystal of the origin of time and space and have some understanding of the power of time and space. If I use it with all my might, I may be able to temporarily restrict its travel."

Xingyaozi was overjoyed: "Great, this gives us a better chance of success."

He paused, then continued, "In my possession, there is also a trump card bestowed by the God King. It is a boundary-fixing talisman that the God King personally crafted back then. It can freeze a space-time at critical moments and last for three breaths."

“Three breaths,” Xing Can said in a deep voice. “With Fellow Daoist Zhang’s spacetime confinement, we have at most six breaths. Within six breaths, we must severely injure or even kill the Void Mayfly.”

Xingyi said, "My trapping formation can restrict its movements, but it may still be a bit difficult to deal with a peak Golden Immortal."

Xingyaozi pointed to a spot on the star map: "This is the nest of the Void Mayfly, located deep in the Calamity Sea, about a thirty-year journey from the Starry Sky Ancient Realm."

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

That point was marked as a "dead zone" on the star map.

“Thirty years from now, we will arrive there,” Xingyaozi said. “At that time, I will use the boundary-fixing talisman to fix spacetime, Fellow Daoist Zhang will use the spacetime origin crystal to reinforce the seal, Xingyi will use the trapping array to restrict movement, and Fellow Daoist Jiao’er will use the Ice Soul Great Dao to slow down the speed… Then we will give this monastery a thunderous blow.”

Zhang Xuan frowned slightly: "Senior, what if we fail to kill him within six breaths?"

Xingyaozi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Then let's escape."

He looked at everyone, his expression more solemn than ever before: "The terror of the Void Mayfly far exceeds your imagination. If we cannot kill it within six breaths, we must immediately scatter and flee for our lives. We will wait until the God King awakens before seeking revenge."

After these words were spoken, the secret room fell silent.

escape.

This was the first time Xingyaozi had uttered this word.

As a peak Golden Immortal and the chief elder of the Starry Sky Ancient Realm Elder Council, he fought countless battles throughout his life and never admitted defeat.

But faced with the ephemeral nature of the mayfly, he chose the most realistic solution.

Zhang Xuan remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "This junior understands."

The five people left the Starry Sky Ancient Realm.

They continued their journey into the depths of the Sea of ​​Calamity.

Thirty years later.

Holding the token left behind by Xing Yi, Xing Yaozi followed the sealed life soul light within it and approached the nest of the Void Mayfly.

“The spiritual light within the token is growing stronger,” he said in a deep voice. “We have entered its range of activity.”

Zhang Xuan looked around.

The turbulent currents of the calamity sea here are more violent than any area they have ever experienced before.

Countless shattered Dao rules danced wildly like a blizzard, colliding and annihilating each other, unleashing terrifying power.

Even more frightening is that the spacetime structure here is extremely unstable.

Sometimes, taking one step forward can lead to taking a thousand miles back.

Sometimes, even when you're flying forward, you feel like you're going backward.

“Spacetime turbulence,” Zhang Xuan said in a low voice. “We’re already close to the nest of the Void Mayflies.”

The Jiao'er Ice Soul Ferry slowly turned, setting up a faint ice crystal barrier around the five people.

Although the barrier is thin, it can effectively slow down the erosion of spacetime turbulence.

The five continued onward.

Another three months passed.

On this day, Xingyaozi suddenly stopped.

"arrive."

Everyone followed his gaze.

Ahead lay a region beyond description.

Space was folded into countless layers, and at that twisted core, a colossal creature dwelled.

It was a gigantic beast that was completely transparent and had nine pairs of wings.

Each pair of wings is formed from pure spacetime power; with a gentle flap, countless spacetime ripples spread outwards.

Its body is millions of feet long and semi-transparent, revealing countless miniature fragments of spacetime flowing inside.

Among those fragments, one can vaguely see a scene of devastation.

There is a shattered world, fallen cultivators, and extinguished stars...

The most terrifying thing is its eyes.

Those were eyes without pupils, silver-white in color, with countless spacetime vortexes spinning inside.

When it "looks" in a certain direction, the spacetime in that direction will be violently distorted, as if it is about to suck the object into its eye.

"Void mayfly..."

Xing Can said in a low voice, a look of unprecedented solemnity flashing in his single eye.

Even with his courage, he felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.

This beast was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
