The Seventh Incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Monster realized that the Ghost Race masters he encountered were unlike any he had conquered before, driven by clan loyalty above personal advancement. Meanwhile, Lin Xuankong and Li Changming observed the battle from a flying ship, with Li Changming questioning the Ghost Race's fierce resistance against the Nine Nether Old Monster. Lin Xuankong countered that some cultivators prioritize principles and sacrifice over personal survival and advancement.

Actually, in my view, the path of cultivation is inherently like this. If one’s life is solely devoted to cultivation for the sake of cultivation, it would be too dull! Cultivators like Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing and her subordinates add more color and interest to this world, otherwise, if the Star River were filled only with the likes of the Nine Nether Old Demon and Jin Ming from Golden Ridge, it would be too dull, too dull!

Even having more cultivators like you, Changming, would be more interesting than having more of those like the Nine Nether Old Demon and Jin Ming from Golden Ridge!"

Li Changming paused upon hearing this, frowning and pondering.

At this moment, the Magic Artifact Flying Ship had swiftly flown nearly a thousand miles, nearing the vicinity of the area controlled by Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing’s numerous Generals and Deputy Generals.

Normally, the swift passage of the Magic Artifact Flying Ship would create quite a stir, and the ships controlled by the various Generals and Deputy Generals under Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing would detect the movement of Lin Xuankong’s Magic Artifact Flying Ship early on! However, this ship, originally belonging to Jin Ming of the Six Paths Sect, underwent some initial and simple modifications under Lin Xuankong, resulting in it traversing the void without causing any True Qi disturbances or producing any light and sound!

This modification, which Lin Xuankong deemed as the simplest and most basic, managed to bypass the detection of thousands of other Magic Artifact Flying Ships present, and even as it passed through them, no cultivator was aware of the rapidly advancing ship!

It wasn’t until Lin Xuankong maneuvered the Flying Ship to stop a hundred meters away from Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing,

that the thousands of Ghost Race Generals and Deputy Generals of North Celestial Palace noticed, suddenly realizing an unexpected emergence of a ship nearby, as if it had just popped out of the void!

Had not all the Generals and Deputy Generals of North Celestial Palace been preoccupied with the fate of their Celestial King, disregarding anything else, the exceptionally quiet and miraculous passage of the Flying Ship would have been enough to make every General and Deputy General of North Celestial Palace’s eyes widen in shock!

At this point, the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, who was directing the last of her True Qi, sensed the Flying Ship’s approach too,

in a brief interval of directing her True Qi, she glanced towards the Flying Ship, showing a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Just at this moment,

the window of the Flying Ship suddenly opened,

Lin Xuankong, surrounded by a dense and transparent layer of True Qi, flew out from the window of the Flying Ship and landed directly in front of the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, who was preparing to burn away everything.

The Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, nearly exhausted from burning everything into True Qi, however, in her time on Blue Origin Star, she clearly recognized the mysteriousness of the person before her, seeing Lin Xuankong approach, she forced herself to take a breath, and spoke: "Xuankong... How does the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable suddenly arrive! We are engaged in battle against the embodiment of the Nine Nether Old Demon, truly... this place is dangerous!"

At this moment, the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing had even more questions,

For instance, Lin Xuankong, who is merely at the Tier Nine Immortal Venerable realm, his True Qi shouldn’t be so refined, yet why can he form such a solid protective shield outside his body, enabling him to walk in such an icy void?

Why is Lin Xuankong able to operate the Flying Ship, which typically requires highly specialized procedures not manageable by anyone other than its original owner, to navigate from Blue Origin Star?

Why does Lin Xuankong’s Flying Ship, which belongs to the lowest tier Deputy General of North Celestial Palace, maintains quiet controls during flight, managing to approach without anyone noticing until it arrives before them?

But given the urgent situation now, she has almost reached her life’s end, where is the time to inquire about these things, much less the energy to ask or ponder them!

Lin Xuankong gazed at the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing who was burning everything, calmly saying: "The Northern Celestial King left in such a hurry, Xuankong thought there might be something major happening! And the collaboration between Northern Celestial King and Changming was quite pleasant, naturally, I couldn’t just let this cooperation fall apart without taking a look and see what happened, and see if there’s any assistance I could offer!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s words, a shift occurred in the expression on Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing’s previously dim face, a sliver of hope appearing in her eyes as she struggled to turn towards him intending to speak, yet was unable to utter another word, as this master of the Tenth Layer of Transcendence Perfection Realm had nearly burnt out all the blood in her body, leaving her unable to speak!

Seeing their Celestial King in such dire straits,

the thousands of Ghost Race cultivators from North Celestial Palace were intensely anxious yet utterly helpless, only able to stare intensely at their Celestial King’s direction.

Amongst the many cultivators of North Celestial Palace, three female Celestial Generals, due to their strong capabilities second only to Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, were still capable of speaking.

Seeing that their Celestial King couldn’t speak anymore, the Female Celestial General Demon Sword, while directing True Qi to assist Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, urgently spoke: "This must be the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable mentioned by our Celestial King... Our Celestial King’s situation is dire, she’s burning everything, including her life, in a bid to completely seal the embodiment of the Nine Nether Old Demon, but... but Little Jian worries the embodiment might not be entirely sealed before our Celestial King falls! If the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable has a way, please act swiftly, otherwise... otherwise..."

Even as the Female Celestial General Demon Sword spoke these words, her face showed no sign of expectation.

She already sensed that the True Qi fluctuation of the so-called Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable was clearly within the scope of a ’Tier Nine Immortal Venerable.’ She couldn’t comprehend why he could easily fly in the icy void with such nonchalant freedom with Tier Nine Immortal Venerable’s True Qi, yet Tier Nine Immortal Venerable was far too distant from Tier Eleven Immortal Venerable, a gap akin to the difference between heaven and earth!

Among the thousands of Magic Artifact Flying Ships, there are about three thousand Tier Nine Immortal Venerables from North Celestial Palace’s Ghost Race, all exceptionally talented, who also couldn’t help their Celestial King!

After speaking, the Female Celestial General Demon Sword did not look at Lin Xuankong anymore, instead focused wholly and more intently on directing True Qi into the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, wishing to slightly slow down the burning speed at which her Celestial King Mo Liqing was consuming everything!

Lin Xuankong glanced at the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword under Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing and Female Celestial General Demon Sword’s feet, then looked far off at the embodiment of the Nine Nether Old Demon being sealed, contemplated briefly, and shook his head lightly:

"Merely a cultivator at the eleventh layer, even with some special talent, is ultimately still at the eleventh realm! Given that you have such fine-graded mid-grade Magical Artifacts, why bother with sealing this eleventh realm cultivator, when you could simply eradicate him entirely?"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong, the numerous cultivators of North Celestial Palace present, whether it’s the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing or the three female Celestial Generals, and those Tier Ten Transcendence cultivators burning blood and True Qi, immediately frowned deeply.

The Female Celestial General Demon Sword, in particular, frowned tightly at Lin Xuankong, addressing him: "Profound Void Immortal Venerable, if we had a way to completely destroy the embodiment of the Nine Nether Old Demon, we would have obliterated him without hesitation! However, he’s the embodiment of the Nine Nether Old Demon, and in the entire Star River, there’s no one who can completely eradicate his embodiment!"
