Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 707 - 585: Azure Dragon Claw Probe

Lethean Sea Cliff, by the coast line that never extinguishes by day.

Seated atop the gauze-draped high platform, Moon Sea True Venerable gazes forward with a calm demeanor, specks of Spiritual Light flicker deep within their eyes, akin to the purest pearl in the abyss of the ocean.

"Little Heavenly Sect, how is your family's Three Elder Masters?"

The sound of the crashing tide reverberates, as Moon Sea True Venerable slightly lowers their gaze, looking at the two standing before them.

"Reporting to True Venerable, our old masters are doing very well. Before entering the pass this time, he kept urging me to first visit you, this is the gift he instructed me to bring to you."

With a sweet yet not overly so smile, Hu Tianzong respectfully offers a brocade box with both hands.

"Your Grandfather is thoughtful."

With a slight movement of jade-like fingers, the brocade box in Hu Tianzong's hand falls into Moon Sea True Venerable's curtain:

"I heard from Red Oriole that you have a method to counter that Evil Maitreya's reincarnation technique?"

"Yes, True Venerable, this junior has come this time precisely to help you eradicate this long-standing hidden threat."

Dealing directly with the old True Venerable who has lived for over four thousand years, Hu Tianzong doesn't hide anything and directly brings out the Dragon-subduing Nail.

As Moon Sea True Venerable on the high platform sees this instrument of punishment from the True Dragon Clan, ripples of emotion appear in their otherwise calm and watery gaze.

"Dragon-subduing Nail? No wonder you are so confident.

Very well, in respect to Old Master Hu, as long as you can subdue that Evil Maitreya, I will allow the Profound Heart Alliance to merge with your Liaodong.

But Little Heavenly Sect, do not rejoice too soon.

Though Evil Maitreya has been severely injured by me and suppressed for so long, his power is no longer at its peak.

But Primordial Spirit, is still Primordial Spirit.

If you fail this time, do not bother me again."

Saying these forthright words, Moon Sea True Venerable's gaze then falls upon Qi Xiu beside Hu Tianzong.

Silent and forbearing, Qi Xiu at this moment resembles Hu Tianzong's attendant.

Though possessing the True Dragon Body lacks the restrained divine luster of a Hunyuan Myriad Laws Immortal Body.

Yet the True Dragon Clan can be large or small, ascend or hide; large enough to summon clouds and breathe mist, small enough to conceal and hide; ascending to fly among the cosmos, hiding to lurk beneath the waves.

The innate skill of concealing breath is not inferior to the best concealment techniques of the present day.

But this method works well for True Monarchs of the Dao Body, when faced with Moon Sea True Venerable, this old Primordial Spirit boss, it seems somewhat lacking.

"True Dragon? No, the breath is not complete, imbalanced and impure, have you obtained some True Dragon inheritance?"

Seeing through Qi Xiu as disciples instantly, Moon Sea True Venerable whispers softly.

And after being examined by this old Primordial Spirit boss, the calm exterior of Qi Xiu belies a mind now heavy with thoughts.

Luckily, this transformation into a dragon was warned by Heavenly Dao, avoiding a full transformation into True Dragon Blood lineage.

Or else it would certainly be seen through by this Primordial Spirit True Venerable.

A complete True Dragon Bloodline might just have me captured on the spot.

Sensing Moon Sea True Venerable's gaze, Hu Tianzong subtly shifts to obscure half of Qi Xiu's body, then speaks:

"Rest assured, True Venerable, if this doesn't succeed, I will surely return quietly and never disturb you again."

With Hu Tianzong's guarantee, Moon Sea True Venerable says no more, slowly lifting a jade hand, a bead-like water drop of Spiritual Light floats into the air, erecting a crystalline bridge in the void, leading directly to the center of the vast sea ahead.

As the crystalline bridge emerges, the previously calm azure center of the ocean erupts in turmoil, deafening waves crash, the spray reaching a height of a hundred meters.

In the center of the sea appears a massive rotating deep vortex.

The vortex center, deep and pitch-black, seems to lead to an indescribable abyss, merely gazing from afar chills one's being, as if your soul is about to be sucked away.

"Step onto this bridge, and it leads straight to the Taiyin Sea Altar."

Opening the path to the Taiyin Sea Altar, Moon Sea True Venerable slowly continues:

"That Evil Maitreya Buddha cultivates both magic and martial, possessing the ability to spout lotus words, adept in twisting logic and evil speech, extremely troublesome, be cautious."

"Although this fiend has been suppressed for long, its ferocity remains untamed."

"If overwhelmed, crush these sea shells, I will act to extract you."

With a gentle wave of a sleeve, two luminous yellow shells with a full moon of silver light in each appear in the hands of Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong.

This is the life-saving item bestowed by Moon Sea True Venerable, if in dire straits, crush the seashell to escape.

"Thank you, True Venerable, this junior shall exert heart and soul to vanquish that old demon."

Seeing the entrance to the Taiyin Sea Altar open, Hu Tianzong bows to Moon Sea True Venerable, then pulls Qi Xiu along the flawless, crystal-clear bridge of light.

Watching the tall and short silhouettes gradually disappear upon the lengthy bridge.

Besides a not far off reef,

The Fishing Man, holding a fishing rod, leans curiously forward, incessantly peering towards the crystal bridge.

"So that's your distant cousin, quite impressive indeed, that old demon Palace Master suppressed for years yet can't handle him.

He, a Dao Body Realm, dares to stroke the whiskers of a Primordial Spirit True Venerable.

Even if a sick tiger, that's quite bold."

"You know nothing, my cousin is no ordinary person, Liaodong Hu Family's young master, destined next Heavenly Mountain Great Yi."

From an objective standpoint, he's already half-stepping into the Primordial Spirit Great Path.

"Just waiting for his father to retire, and the moment he assumes the Heavenly Mountain Great Yi position, he will attain the True Venerable status."
