in in his brow. The black eyeball suddenly burst with a bang, along with his entire head, turning into a mess of fragments.As the saying goes, "One gains and loses with Cao He." His rapid rise was due..."Indeed, that is precisely what I had in mind."

Zhang Yujing said, "This system has been in effect for hundreds of years among the three major powers. Today, our Tonghai Alliance is getting weaker and weaker, only able to get ten spots."

...and Yinzhuxiang Island's strength is growing increasingly powerful, with the ability to control sixty of them single-handedly. ...

Ye Bufan raised his eyebrows. Only ten were left after the three families split the spoils; this result was rather disappointing.

Zhang Yuquan said, "This is a vicious cycle. The stronger ones get more and more quotas, while the weaker ones get less and less. If this continues, the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak."

Before today, both Yinzhu Island and Lancang Palace had powerful cultivators in the late tribulation stage, while our Tonghai Alliance only had those in the middle tribulation stage.

This is just a comparison at the high level, the gap between young disciples is even bigger.

"If it weren't for the threat of monsters, I'm afraid that the Tonghai Alliance would have annexed Yinzhú Island long ago."

Ye Bufan said, "Even so, I can't change anything by myself, can I"

"This is different. Under these rules, a gifted disciple can sometimes turn the tide."

Zhang Yu Jing began to detail the rules of the battle on Panlong Island. They weren't much different from the previous Tongtian Tower, where the disciples who climbed the highest and farthest gained points that increased exponentially.

In such a case, if any faction produced a super genius disciple, the outcome would be vastly different. It's even possible for an underdog to rise to first place.

Now the Tonghai League only has ten spots, hoping for a complete turnaround is impossible. All hopes are pinned on a single genius disciple.

And now they are short of talent, completely unable to find the talent to turn things around. Now Ye Bufan has shown them hope.

After explaining the rules, he said again, “Doctor Ye, this Jiuzhuan Panlong Island is quite special. It's completely hidden in the mist on ordinary days, and only appears when it's activated.”

If someone forcefully breaks in during the day, they will be immediately killed by the powerful formation.

Even if it is activated, there are countless formations inside, all of which should be passed down from ancient times.

And each level of the formations has a different rank, with higher levels being more powerful.

Those who enter the Nine-Turn Dragon Island, if they are lucky, may be teleported out. If not, they will be directly killed by the formation.

And every time it went through a turn, countless elixirs would appear, looking more like rewards for the passerby.

Hearing that there were countless spiritual herbs inside, Ye Bufan's heart was quite moved. He couldn't be sure if he could find the Soul Returning Grass in there, but he didn't show his eagerness.

"Two alliance leaders, this Long Island sounds like a place for cultivation."

Zhang Yu Guan said: "Yes, we also have such a guess. This island is more like an ancient treasure passed down from the ancients, used for disciples to practice formations."

That's also why, on this island, mastery of formations is more important than strength if you want to go further.

Zhang Yujing followed up, "In three days, this Panlong Island will open, and the talents in my Tonghai Alliance are dwindling. "

Including the previously slain Jiao Xu, there are only three five-order array mages, and not a single one above the sixth order.

It is for this reason that we earnestly request Ye Yixian to lend a hand. As long as you can fight on behalf of the Hai Alliance, all the spirit herbs obtained will belong to Ye Yixian.

All we care about in the Tonghai Alliance is results, and securing the next round of spots.

I have to say, for a doctor, the conditions offered are incredibly tempting.

Ye Bufan asked, "I would like to ask the two of you, is there any Huíhún Cǎo in this Jiǔzhuǎn Pán Lóng Dào"

"Reviving Grass, what is this thing We've never heard of it."

Zhang Yujing was taken aback for a moment, then said, “This we brothers can’t say for sure either. The spiritual herbs on this Dragon Island are graded according to their level, and the higher you go, the more high-level spiritual herbs there are.”

To date, the most accomplished disciples among the three major factions have only reached the seventh level.

As for what those layers look like and if there's really that kind of spirit grass you mentioned, we have no idea.

"Well, I'll do it then."

Ye Bufan said, "However, there is one point that needs to be clarified in advance. You have all seen the grievances between me and Yin Zhu Dao, and during the competition, my safety must be guaranteed."

No matter what, he must go to Jiuzhuanpan Long Island for a visit. Even if there's only one in ten thousand chance, he can't miss the opportunity to get the Huichuncao.

But Yin Zhu Island is indeed a big problem. With his current strength, he's still unable to contend with those in the late tribulation stage.

Hearing that his request had been granted, Zhang Jia's brothers were overjoyed.

Now the younger generation of the Tonghai Alliance is too weak. If this continues, next time they definitely won't even get ten spots.

If Ye Bufan could help, things would definitely be different. Although I don't expect to win first place in one fell swoop, it would still be good to get back a few more spots.

Zhang Yujing patted his chest and assured, "Rest assured, now that I'm at the late stage of tribulation, I'm not afraid of that old geezer Yin Weiyong. I will definitely protect Ye Yi Xian."

Zhang Yuquan followed up, "That's right. Moreover, there is an agreement between the three major forces that during a battle, they cannot attack any disciples of either party. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the rules."

Yinzhudao may be arrogant, but it does not dare to openly challenge my Tonghai League and Lancang Palace.

Ye Bufan said, "Then it's settled. When do we start"

"Ye Yixian, prepare well. We will send someone to pick you up in three days."

The Zhang brothers were both incredibly excited. This trip to Beiling Island was truly worthwhile, not only did they improve their cultivation but also solved a major problem that had plagued them for a long time.

They chatted briefly again, and then You Guang walked in after washing thoroughly from head to toe.

The Zhang brothers no longer lingered. The three of them, accompanied by their men, left Beiling Island and returned to the Tonghai Alliance.

Yè Búfán also turned and left the living room, striding back to his own room. After entering, he immediately took out the pill from the refining demon bottle and looked at it.

The elixirs crafted from beast souls shimmered with a crystal clarity, radiating a faint aura. A barely perceptible mist seemed to hover on their surface.

"Good stuff! It's really good stuff! At first glance, it looks like a top-notch elixir!"

Ye Bufan was filled with joy. This was a pill refined from a beast soul comparable to that of a late tribulation stage expert, containing endless energy and spiritual energy.

Once this thing is swallowed, the effect is self-evident. At least it can allow oneself to cross the threshold of the Void Realm and directly reach the Great Ascension stage.

Subduing the joy in his heart, he first placed the pill aside, then took out that jade slip.

He carefully examined a nautical chart of the sea within a radius of one million miles around the Demon Abyss using his divine sense. He could see everything clearly.

That is to say, within this million-mile radius, he would never lose his way no matter where he walked.

"It's a shame this thing has such a small range."

Ye Bufan finally sighed. What he needed most right now was to figure out his location, but this small-scale nautical chart wasn't much help.

Better than nothing, I guess. Since we have this small-scale map, maybe we can find a larger one. We can figure out the rest later.

Just as he was lost in thought, the door creaked open and Su Ling霜 walked in from outside.

At this moment, her delicate and pretty face was full of resentment, pitiful and forlorn. "Husband, are you in such a hurry for the nautical charts Or do you want to leave"e a more viable option than colluding with people from the United States.""Indeed, it is rather out of the ordinary." Lin Zhentian then said, "Don't mind them. Whether they cooperate with the people o...
