[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Slay the Sword-Tailed Sea Serpent King]
[Task Reward: Comprehension]
On the sea, Ye Kang appeared like a demon god descending to earth, his four demonic souls baring their fangs and flailing wildly. He forcefully dragged the giant sea serpent king's body high into the air and hurled it onto the deserted shore.
Faced with Ye Kang's absolute physical strength and various martial arts techniques, the only advantage of the Sword-Tailed Sea Serpent King is its naval combat and venom.
However, Ye Kang's Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique perfectly offset the disadvantages of naval battle, while the Blazing Inferno Technique and the Roc Demon Fire Control Technique could instantly refine the venom.
The outcome of the battle was self-evident; victory was assured from the very beginning.
At this moment, Tang Yi also jumped out of the water in a disheveled state.
There were two more powerful beings within the group of sword-tailed sea serpents, each equivalent to a six-petaled lotus. He fought so many alone that he was almost killed.
Fortunately, Ye Kang dealt with the situation quickly. With the Snake King dead, the remaining sea snakes fled at top speed.
Tang Yi's gaze toward Ye Kang held an added touch of reverence.
"Brother Wang, your body tempering cultivation has truly impressed me; it is even stronger than the physical bodies of demons."
Ye Kang smiled and said, "It's just brute force. Brother Tang is quite strong for being able to repel so many sea serpents all by himself."
"That's not bad, after all, I am a genius of the Tang family."
Tang Yi flicked his hair, expressing his complete agreement with Ye Kang's praise.
The two flew ashore, and the Carp Goddess ran over as well. She pointed at the giant sea serpent king's corpse and asked, "Is this for the Carp Goddess to eat?"
Ye Kang smiled helplessly: "Sorry, this is what I use for cultivation."
Tang Yi looked at the Carp Goddess with a face full of horror: "Little girl, you can't eat this, it's a poisonous snake."
"The Carp God is not afraid of being poisoned."
Tang Yi was even more confused. He couldn't tell that the Carp Goddess was a demon, and the Carp Goddess had never used her demonic energy, so he just thought of her as an ordinary human little girl.
Ye Kang also noticed this.
The Carp God's transformation technique seems to be extremely advanced. Unless one is a powerful expert in the Divine Sea Realm, no one within the Lotus Realm can truly discern it.
He looked at Tang Yi: "Brother Tang, I'm going to cultivate here for a while, what about you?"
"I'm sorry, I have to get back to the Tang family immediately. The woman I just escaped from, I guess, is Liu Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the Liu family. She's always been unruly and extremely cruel. She's also Master Zheng's student. I have to go back and tell the Tang family to be prepared to avoid her retaliation."
"Alright then, I wish you a safe journey, Brother Tang."
Ye Kang didn't say much. Sometimes, being too proactive can arouse suspicion, so it's better to stop short of making a move.
Sure enough, Tang Yi said with a look of anticipation, "Brother Wang, it is a great honor to befriend you. Your strength, array formation skills, and character are all rare in my life. Why don't you come to Tyrant Whale Island and become a guest elder in the Tang family?"
"This... I'm just a rogue cultivator..." Ye Kang shook his head, feigning nonchalance.
Tang Yi continued, "It's good to be a rogue cultivator. After you become a guest elder, the Tang family will be your support!"
"Thank you, Brother Tang. Please allow me to consider it. Perhaps I will visit you again on Whale Island later."
"Then it's a deal! Tang family of Tyrant Whale Island, just mention my name, and it'll work!"
Tang Yi laughed heartily, feeling that he had made a good friend, and flew away happily.
Ye Kang watched his departing figure, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Whale Island, we definitely have to go there."
"The identity of Tang family guest is indeed a wonderful one, which will greatly help me obtain the innate spiritual fire. However, my current disguise is still a notch short."
Ye Kang felt somewhat helpless. No matter how powerful the Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusions Body was, it was ultimately just a disguise technique at the innate level.
It's alright if you're in the Lotus Realm, but once you encounter someone in the Divine Sea Realm, it's too easy to be exposed.
However, they cannot travel to the open sea in their true form, as it would be too dangerous if they were discovered by the Raging Waves.
So, at least for now, we can't go to Whale Island.
Ye Kang looked down at the Carp God: "Please come with me to the mountains ahead and help me protect the Dharma."
"The Carp God agrees."
"Thank you, Carp God."
The two held hands and walked into the dense forest beside the coast.
This place was originally deserted, with only some demons and wild beasts roaming around. Ye Kang swept his aura, and all the demons fled.
The two arrived at a giant ancient tree.
The giant trees reach for the sky, their roots growing out of the ground and swallowing up all the surrounding vegetation. The roots are so extensive that humans could build a small village on them.
The spiritual energy here is noticeably denser than in the surrounding area, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
In fact, Ye Kang discovered as soon as he entered the outer sea that the concentration of spiritual energy in the outer sea far exceeded that of the Great Jin. In the outer sea, one breath of spiritual energy required at least six breaths in the Great Jin.
With such a huge gap, it's no wonder that the martial artists from the outer seas are so powerful.
Ye Kang stopped thinking about it and sat cross-legged on the tree root.
He took out the corpse of the Sword-Tailed Sea Serpent King, took a deep breath, and called upon the system.
"System, integrate the Azure Cloud Demon Art."

[Tip from the Furnace of All Laws]
[The Path to Heaven (Lotus): Beginning the Integration of the Azure Cloud Demonic Art]
In an instant, countless insights descended, and the Azure Cloud Demonic Art was rapidly absorbed by the Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Art.
In his enlightenment, Ye Kang seemed to transform into the son of a poison king, growing up surrounded by poisons, his entire body filled with various deadly toxins, anyone who touched him would die instantly...
The Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique was running wildly. Inside the Purple Mansion, the lotus platform rotated, and the Holy Ultimate True Qi enveloped the corpse of the Sword-Tail Sea Serpent King, drawing it all into his body and forcibly refining it.
Before long, the fifth lotus leaf slowly bloomed. This lotus leaf incorporated the Azure Cloud Demon Art, so it was emerald green. The leaf was engraved with the patterns of a sword-tailed sea serpent, with the serpent's fangs sticking out, symbolizing its deadly venom.
At the same time, Ye Kang opened his eyes, having completed his comprehension. He had completely mastered the Azure Cloud Demon Art. With each step he took, lotus flowers bloomed beneath his feet, forming a lotus-lined path.
The fifth leaf opens!
At the same time, a storm was brewing, and the originally clear sky suddenly darkened. Only in the mountain forest where Ye Kang was located did all the trees bow towards him, and the plants emitted light, illuminating the night sky.
This is an extraordinary phenomenon of heaven and earth, with flowers flying from ten thousand trees.
With blessings bestowed by heaven and earth, Ye Kang seized the opportunity, his true energy surged, his physical body advanced, and he absorbed twenty body-tempering plants in one gulp, refining them in an instant.
His physical strength increased once again, and with a single punch, the dark clouds dissipated.
In the human settlements of Sword Mountain Island, many martial artists also witnessed strange phenomena, and they all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"It's like ten thousand trees bursting with blossoms! A peerless genius has triggered this extraordinary phenomenon!"
"Sword Mountain Island actually has such a brilliant and talented person, who is it?!"
"Damn it, we're too far away. If we could be closer, maybe we could gain some insights!"
Countless martial artists rushed towards the location of the strange phenomenon, but it was too late.
The strange phenomenon disappeared, and everything returned to normal. The dense forest was so vast, who could possibly find Ye Kang?
"Koi God thinks you've gotten stronger again."
Suddenly, the Carp Goddess looked at Ye Kang, her little hands already holding a bunch of fruits. As she spoke, she handed Ye Kang the smallest and ugliest fruit.
"Thank you, Koi God."
Ye Kang smiled and accepted the fruit. At the same time, with a thought, a green poisonous mist spread out.
The Azure Cloud Demon Art has made the venom of the Sword-Tailed Sea Serpent even more terrifying.
