Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Whoosh!"

In the void, a flying boat rippled through space and suddenly appeared.

It was Alkaid aboard the Dragon Steed Flying Boat.

Having completed a Void Shuttle, there was a relaxed smile on his face.

"It’s really great, I myself possess the talent of a Void Child, and my sensitivity to the void is not much inferior to that of the Hollow Void Realm. Now that I’ve cultivated a Deep Blue Golden Core, relying on the massive size of this supergiant star, it has become much easier to cause ripples in the void. Operating the Dragon Steed Flying Boat now, the efficiency is not much less than that of True Monarch Li Hanqiu."

As he spoke, he reminisced about the various powers he had encountered in the surroundings...

His gaze quickly settled on a force millions of miles away.

The Penglai Celestial Palace, one of the Ten Great Immortal Paths.

Standing over the Sea of Turmoil and extending into the Deep Blue Sea, the true dominator of the marine area.

The Penglai Immortal Sect is an emerging sect, established for less than a hundred years.

Speaking of Penglai Immortal Sect, one cannot help but mention the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion, also one of the Ten Great Immortal Paths.

A thousand years ago, at one of the True Disciple meetings of the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion, an exceptionally talented True Disciple emerged but was not given the treatment deserved by a top True Disciple. Instead, he faced various suppressions.

One of the Hollow Void Elders even coveted his astonishing talent and wanted to make him a cauldron.

Enraged, this True Disciple defected from the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion.

The defected True Disciple naturally faced pursuit from the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion.

During the chase, it was rumored that the True Disciple gained the inheritance of a top powerhouse.

With this inheritance, she quickly rose to power, growing stronger with each battle.

Reaching Hollow Void, advancing to Refining Void, entering Shattered Void, along the way, countless Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion experts became bones beneath her fame.

By four hundred years ago, this True Disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion had astonishingly advanced to become a Dao Lord, standing at the summit of the Northern Sea.

A hundred years ago, she came directly to the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion and sparked an epic battle that stunned the Northern Sea Star.

The outcome of this battle is unknown to anyone.

But after the fight, the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion directly shut itself for a hundred years.

This True Disciple came to the depths of the Deep Blue Sea, swept through the Demon Race in the area, and staked out a territory from the wilderness to establish the Penglai Immortal Sect.

As she made a name for herself by stepping on the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion, she attracted countless followers and adherents. In just a hundred years, an impressive force had been created.

Fearing her majesty, people no longer addressed her by her name, but as the Penglai Dao Lord.

As a top power that was only established a hundred years ago, Penglai Immortal Sect is considered the only force among the Ten Great Immortal Paths that still slightly values its reputation.

After all, they want to expand and cannot afford to be too overbearing.

And Penglai Immortal Sovereign’s Biyou Fairy City, which is open in the Deep Blue Sea for external trade, has received personal orders from the Penglai Immortal Monarch that no one is allowed to fight or cause trouble within its boundaries.

This sense of security, which is almost impossible to find elsewhere, has attracted countless forces and commerce guilds to settle in Biyou Fairy City, with many Cultivators who roam the seas using Biyou Fairy City as a selling point.

In this situation, nearly every year, there are tens of millions of Pure Yang Great Pills traded in Biyou Fairy City.

The taxes the Penglai Immortal Sect collects from Biyou Fairy City every year are enough to fill their coffers to the brim.

"Previously, when planning to sell the Supreme Divine Power at the Nine Heavens Sect, I had considered Biyou Fairy City. However, it was far from the Nine Heavens Sect. Despite having the Void Disk, going back and forth would not take less than a year. At that time, the Nine Heavens Sect was too weak. If Li Hanqiu and I left, the Nine Heavens Sect would have no capacity to resist any risks; therefore, we settled for the next best, and went to the Eastern Sea Immortal Market instead."

Now he had over two million Pure Yang Great Pills worth of goods to sell, and going back to a place like the Eastern Sea Immortal Market would be asking for trouble.

Biyou Fairy City, still somewhat concerned about saving face as a newly established city, was undoubtedly the best choice.

With that thought, Alkaid propelled the Dragon Steed Flying Boat and swiftly traversed toward Biyou Fairy City.

The greatest advantage of the Dragon Steed Flying Boat compared to the Void Disk is its comfort.

This comfort is not only reflected on the passengers, but also on the driver.

"The Dragon Steed Flying Boat is simple to operate, allowing me to cultivate and travel at the same time."

Alkaid stayed in the cockpit, often needing only to use his Void Child talent to find a space ripple.

He still had time to do other things.

"However, with such a distant journey, I’m afraid it will be too late to participate in the Heavenly Dao Sect’s True Disciple assessment two years from now."

His thoughts wandered.

But then that slight regret was cast aside with a laugh.

"What a joke, once I sell what I have on hand for two million Pure Yang Great Pills, I’ll immediately enter closed-door cultivation in Biyou Fairy City to work on breaking through to the Hollow Void Realm. Once I entered Hollow Void, I could become a revered guest in any power, even those of the Ten Great Immortal Paths, freely joining them, showered with invitations from various forces. Why should I care about a mere True Disciple status?"

With that idea in mind, he set aside the so-called True Disciple assessment of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

What fun is there in being a disciple compared to the freedom and exhilaration of being an Elder?

...

The Dragon Steed Flying Boat continued traversing.

Using this airborne Dao Artifact, Alkaid’s speed was not slow at all.

Even compared to an ordinary Hollow Void Realm Cultivator, he was not much inferior.

In this case, he naturally has no idea that four Hollow Void individuals and one hard-pressed Deep Blue were chasing after him from behind.

It was the company of Tushan, Hou Feng, Tong Ming, Mo Shan, and Jiang Heavenly Venerable.

If this group only consisted of four Hollow Voids, it might not matter, since even with Alkaid’s head start, they might still be able to catch up at full speed.

The key issue was Jiang Heavenly Venerable, with his Deep Blue Golden Core, dragging them behind, as the four Hollow Voids had to consider his speed.

In such circumstances, their pursuit not only failed to close the gap between them, but actually increased the distance even more.

...

Alkaid naturally couldn’t be bothered with this.

Relying on the Dragon Steed Flying Boat to traverse mountains and waters, and crossing the vast sea, he was gradually entering the territory of the Deep Blue Sea.

Despite not being as chaotic as the Sea of Turmoil, the Deep Blue Sea was extremely dangerous nonetheless.

After all, this sea area had originally belonged to the Demon Race until the Penglai Dao Lord forcibly carved out a domain from their control and established what is now known as the Penglai Immortal Sect.

And as a Dao Lord, those she personally took action against and killed were mostly Demon Kings or beings of even higher status, that is, demons of the Hollow Void Realm.

She couldn’t be bothered to clear out the remaining Great Demons herself, leaving this task to the disciples and elders of the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Among the deep seas, countless demons lurked.

A hundred years was evidently insufficient for the Penglai Immortal Sect to completely eradicate all demons. Under such conditions, cultivators traversing the Deep Blue Sea from time to time still encountered attacks.

Like now...

Accompanied by another traversal completed by Alkaid’s Dragon Steed Flying Boat, intense waves of battle surged within his Perception range.

As he stimulated his Divine Sense to investigate, he saw clearly a small squad made up of four Blazing White Golden Cores and five Sunburst Golden Cores battling against a Ninth-Rank Great Demon.

This Ninth-Rank Great Demon was much more ferocious than the one Alkaid had encountered during his True Transmission assessment. Had it not been for the numerous powerful Spiritual Treasures in these Golden Cores’ possession, they would have already become meals for the creature.

Passing by, Alkaid had no intention to interfere, but upon sighting the Great Demon, an idea he once had resurfaced.

To verify his speculation, he promptly retracted the Dragon Steed Flying Boat and, through Sword Control, took off, transforming into a golden streak of light that shot directly towards the Great Demon.

Seeing the energy fluctuations released by Alkaid’s Sword Control, the leading figure among the Blazing White Golden Cores could not help but joyfully express gratitude, "Penglai Immortal Sect’s True Disciple Ye Hongyu, thanks senior for lending your aid."

These words could be taken as her verbal appreciation or as a declaration of her background, serving as a deterrent to those with ill intentions.

After all, they were already not far from the Penglai Immortal Sect.

"True Disciple?"

Alkaid glanced at Ye Hongyu.

If he wasn’t mistaken, she was a Blazing White Golden Core.

Considering there were Blazing White Golden Cores in Heavenly Dao Sect who had overturned Deep Blue Golden Cores to become True Disciples, he didn’t say much.

It was just that her barely 400,000 battle power seemed somewhat weak.

"You all wait to the side for now, allow me to slay this Great Demon!"

His Divine Sense conveyed the message, and his You Long Sword was already stirring up ripples in the Void, with the Supreme Divine Power known as Rip the Sky with One Strike gathering form.

His entire being seemed like a missile soaring across the sky, aimed at a critical moment of battle, striking the body of the Ninth Rank Great Demon with inconceivable speed and force.

Even as the Great Demon pushed its True Demon Body to the limit, it could not withstand such an assault and splattered blood in all directions.

"Roar!"

A pitiful scream erupted from the Great Demon.

This powerful being that nearly wiped out the nine-member team from Penglai Immortal Sect was ripped apart in midair by the might of Rip the Sky with One Strike, with even its Demon Core being harvested on the spot.

This scene immediately caused the nine Golden Cores from the Penglai Immortal Sect to reveal shocked expressions.

"To kill a Ninth Rank Great Demon with one strike!? Is this… Supreme Divine Power!?"

"And it’s a fully mastered, perhaps even Perfected Supreme Divine Power! Which Immortal Sect’s True Disciple is this?"

"I’ve always heard that our Penglai Immortal Sect’s foundation is somewhat inferior compared to other top Immortal Sects, but I never believed it. We are all True Disciples, how much difference could there be? But witnessing this today… I can’t help but recognize the gap..."

The nine of them watched Alkaid, who casually slayed the Great Demon, with complex expressions on their faces.

However, after killing the Ninth Rank Great Demon, Alkaid did not immediately check for potential spoils of war.

Instead, he split part of his focus to sense the ancient tree growing robustly in his Spiritual World.

To be precise, it was the "Demon Hunter" branch on the tree.

During his earlier assessment at Heavenly Dao Sect, upon first encountering a Great Demon, he had speculated about what exactly defined the "Demon Hunter" profession.

A Demon Path Cultivator?

Beings from the Moon Demon, Heavenly Demon Clan?

But as realms advance, these cultivators can completely transform into human form, associating themselves with humanity. Then how would the "Demon Hunter" profession decide!?

After some contemplation, he formed a vague hypothesis.

That is, anything non-humanoid is a malevolent demon.

All malevolent demons qualify for hunting.

Now, this Ninth Rank Great Demon of the same realm as himself...

Was perfect for a test.

And as he saw the "Demon Hunter" branch, which had been insignificant for a long time, light up once again following the death of the Ninth Rank Great Demon, his speculation was immediately confirmed.

"Good!"

Alkaid felt invigorated and heartily affirmed with a strong "Good!"

The "Businessman" profession is concerned with the cost of human labor.

But the "Demon Hunter" doesn’t need any.

For every hunt, rewards are assured.
