This arrow shot forth, ignoring the vastness of the blue dome of Heaven. A Divine Name’s might feared nothing, so what would he not dare.
Whoosh!
The Cloud-piercing Arrow’s arrow-light was like a snake transformed into a dragon. It was explosive in power, ardently issued from the arrow itself.
The divine bow that shook Heaven. The divine arrow that pierced clouds. Even a Divine Name would need to fear these. After killing the first crimson snake, the second arrow followed closely behind.
The Cloud-piercing Arrow instantly was among Approaching Heaven magic treasures in power, making Li Hezi’s expression instantly change. This Golden Core cultivator who claimed party to a Divine Name’s power did not know how many passing merchant ships he had plundered in these Western Sea waters. By relying on the Calamity Of Shoal Wind, many had capitulated, but he never imagined that this trifling Immortality Boat would have a mere Qi Refinement Ninth Deva cultivator actually dare to defy him. The Approaching Heaven magic treasure’s shuddering might shocked the very soul.
“This is impossible, how can the magic treasure of a Qi Refinement cultivator like you be stronger than a Golden Core cultivator’s? I do not believe this!”
Li Hezi exclaimed.
The Bagua seals behind the old man glowed all of a sudden, as if they were tangible. The magic treasure “Descended Demon Pestle” descended from the sky and flew forth like a dragon soaring through the heavens. Afterwards, it transformed into millions of pestle-shadows that plunged towards the Cloud-piercing Arrow.
At the same time, Wang Jian’s eyes gleamed. She slashed with the Divine Weapon in her hand, and a scorching sword-light sliced towards Li Hezi.
Xu Fu did not hold back either. She extended a hand and attacked with “Thunderslaughter Firebrand” talismans.
The Blackbird Guards present also summoned all of their spirit and power to launch their most powerful assault on Li Hezi, firing bolt after bolt towards him.
“Great Pool Divine Thunder, Nourishing Great Thousand!”
Li Hezi’s eyes were practically glowing. After several cycles, he also used his strongest ability. Golden Core cultivators were already capable of controlling the Five Elements Divine Thunder abilities. The Great Pool Divine Thunder became a deep eddy; his Divine Thunder was classified as the Kan trigram, which was water. Deep and yielding yet also fierce, it was like a whirlpool had formed in the ocean, swallowing all the incoming force.
At the same time, he raised both his arms and shouted.
A jade plaque shattered, and power dispersed.
“Lord God, assist me!!’
Boom!
The vortex-like Divine Thunder rumbled, becoming several thick peals of thunder. One intercepted the Cloud-piercing Arrow, another stopped Wang Jian’s sword-light, and another blocked Xu Fu’s talisman. The remaining energy surged towards the Immortality Boat like formidable serpents.
Bang!
The sound of metal colliding with stone came over the distant waters.
“What, Divine Energy??”
Everyone was astounded.
An earth-shattering tsunami rose up. The Great Pool Divine Thunder combined with the tidal wave, surprisingly displaying unstoppable force. At this moment, even Xu Fu’s expression changed. She did not expect this Golden Core cultivator to actually be able to receive a portion of the Western Sea God Divine Name’s power.
Just at this critical moment, a figure like light and shadow suddenly descended from the boat like a flying immortal from beyond Heaven.
Purple qi coiled around, and the sky filled with stars.
The black night sky was suddenly filled with purple light, enveloped by purple clouds.
The mysterious girl finally took action. She gestured with her hand, and the surroundings became star-light. This purple starfield and galaxy hung over the tidal wave. The Great Pool Divine Thunder and the light of the stars collided with each other. That girl’s legs tread upon the stars. Purple qi coiled around her, and she was a flying immortal from beyond the heavens.
“Seventy-two Earthly Fiends – God-expelling Style!”1
The purple qi covered the visible sky. Endless starlight like a wave dispersed the tsunami, and the Great Pool Divine Thunder was completely disintegrated under the stars.
“Huh? Divine Name?” The old man was shocked.
The girl pointed her finger.
The Descended Demon Pestle was shattered by stars.
That monster boat also capsized in the face of that meteor shower-like bombardment. With an ear-splitting explosion, it engulfed that old man. By the time the purple qi receded, the ocean surface was already littered with the monster boat’s wreckage and several dozen large chests.
“Hurry and retrieve all of those boxes.” Xu Fu immediately ordered.
The Blackbird Guard jumped, stepping across the water like flitting swallows.
The white-clothed girl descended over a banner like an immortal, the purple star slowly concealing itself from view.
Qi Lin glanced over. She was none other than the girl he had entangled souls with.
“Ah, Your Highness Xue Sha!!” Wang Jian recognized the girl and immediately knelt in astonished greeting.
“En.”
Xue Sha briefly glanced at Qi Lin. She turned and entered her cabin, and the world resumed its dimness.
“Who’s she?” Qi Lin curiously asked.
Wang Jian did not know her Star Name, only that she shared a very good relationship with Her Majesty Ying Zheng. Everyone addressed her as Her Highness. Her Star Name was purportedly to be Heavenly Spirit or Earthly Fiend, a Star among tens of thousands of stars. Previously, hers was a Divine Name unprecedented in the Register Of Deities.
However, ever since the Register Of Deities opened, this highness very rarely revealed herself. Reportedly, there was a certain reason, but Wang Jian did not imagine she would follow Xu Fu out to the Western Sea.
“The trace of Divine Energy that Golden Core cultivator used just now indeed is from a powerful Divine Name. I fear he truly received this Western Sea god’s incitation to plunder in these waters.” Wang Jian was worried.
“The grand Western Sea God would actually commit piracy…” Qi Lin was speechless.
“Although she is a Divine Name, this would not be strange if the Register Of Deities had only just birthed her.” Wang Jian shook her head. After the Register Of Deities opened, all deities that wished to pass a tribulation were required to exhaust any and all means to protect themselves. What, then, did seizing travel expenses amount to. Previously, there was even a “Guts of Nüwa”2 Divine Name that bolstered her strength by sacrificing millions of commonfolk. Compared to that sort of god, this one paled in comparison.
Xu Fu dispatched people to retrieve the floating chests, which numbered a dozen. These chests were all tributes that Li Hezi had plundered from other mercantile vessels. However, it was a pity that could not find the corpses of Li Hezi or the other cultivators.
These chests were filled mostly with jade utensils, gold strips, weapons, silver, and medical materials, all things that were brought to the Shaman Spirit Kingdom to trade. This time, Qi Lin had lent his assistance, and Xu Fu apportioned six of the chests to Qi Lin, who was not modest about accepting them.
“I fear we will suffer reprisals for killing Western Sea God Yan Zi’s acolyte. We must hurry to the Shaman Spirit Kingdom as quickly as we can.” Xu Fu said: “I will go ask the Ten Shamans just what is happening. The Shaman Spirit Kingdom’s waters have surprisingly been controlled by Yan Zi, this is too unreasonable.”
“En, fine.” Qi Lin did not have an opinion. What he was more interested in right now was the Divine Name of that girl.
Purple cloud east approaches, the star among stars.
Could she be Laozi?
…
Xu Fu arrived at the VIP cabin. The white-clothed girl was sitting upright and still, composing her breathing.
“Your Highness, you were too impulsive this time, you have worsened your injuries.”
“That Golden Core cultivator is borrowing Western Sea God Yan Zi’s strength, I had no choice but to intervene.” The white clothed girl faintly exhaled. Purple qi wafted about, becoming a dim star that flowed towards her forehead.
Xu Fu sighed.
“I sensed the power of an Approaching Heaven magic treasure just now…” The white clothed girl’s brow slightly wrinkled.
“Huh? Approaching Heaven magic treasure? Impossible, haven’t the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens’ Approaching Heaven magic treasures been lost?” Xu Fu said, astounded.
The girl was not sure either, but she indeed sensed a wisp of that power.
“That young man’s identity is unfathomable. I feel there is something strange.” Xu Fu had an idea, “He also cultivates Yin qi. If I use his organs and bones as a medicine base…”
“Enough rambling.” The girl gently rebuked her: “How could I do such a thing, do not mention this ever again.”
Xu Fu promptly apologized.
“I will go inspect these tributes.”
“Be careful, do not let anything happen.” The girl softly exhorted.
“I know, that Your Highness specially came forward this time was out of worry for such a matter.” Xu Fu smiled.
Xu Fu entered the hold. There was a room for casting molten metal, and it was reinforced with an array on the outside. Boys and girls were sleeping on beds, yet the commotion just now had not roused them. Xu Fu sighed and issued the order again: “Strict watch. Other than myself, no one is allowed to approach these ‘medicine bases.’ Violators will be punished without exception!”3
“As you command.”

All this purple qi and elemental divine thunders stuff reminds me of Su Xing’s powers and specialties. Makes me wonder how he’d fair in this story…
What kinda name is Qi Qi again? Divine, Star?
….Qi Lin’s NOT gonna be happy about finding that ‘cargo’….
I mean, it’s the same thematic stuff, but I really doubt she’s directly connected to Su Xing. This is Primordial World, after all. I believe Qi Qi is a Divine Name at this point in time, but she is significantly weakened without access to her true weapon.
Oh, no. I get the whole thematic similarity thing. I just meant it’d make me curious how Su Xing would do if he around with his hard earned Purple Mansion’s Immortals Thunder and other tricks.
As for Qi Qi, sounds about like what I’d guesed.
