Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 579 - 367: The killing_2
Chapter 579 -367: The killing_2
Seventy miles
Sixty miles
…
Almost simultaneously, in the Mystic Nether realm’s midsection, the doors of the Wanhua Cave were suddenly slammed open. One after another, cultivators in hiding hurriedly took out stone shells and quickly burrowed into them.
During the major eruption of Earth’s energy tide, if they didn’t want to be assimilated, they had to use the erupting power to fly out of the Sea Eye in time.
Otherwise, those who didn’t believe in evil, yet ultimately turned to dust, served as the best warning to them.
Forty miles!
Hmm?
In the midst of ascending, Zhao Sheng suddenly shifted his gaze, his Divine Sense already fixated on a spot a hundred yards away from the stone shell, within the torrent. There, a block of Green Radiant Tree fossil as large as a head concealed a pure green flame within itself.
“Yimu Green Flame! What a treasure.”
Zhao Sheng’s eyes brightened, and he fiercely slapped the inner wall of the stone shell. The shell suddenly shook, and then flew horizontally towards the tree fossil.
When they were about twenty yards apart, a gigantic five-colored hand suddenly shot out from the stone shell, grabbed the tree fossil out of thin air, and then retracted back inside.
Bang!
The stone cover opened, the fossil fell inside, and then the cover closed shut with a bang.
Thirty miles
Twenty miles
…
The Vortex Sea region thousands of miles wide was violently shaken, the water churned, creating towering waves.
Series after series of thunderous booms echoed across the skies.
Boom!
At a certain moment, endless bright yellow energy burst forth from under the sea, shooting high into the sky, like a colossal pillar that propped up heaven and earth.
Above the high sky, floating spirit islands, like a string of treasure ships, roamed about in the Earth’s core torrent, with streaks of tunneling light continuously dashing from the islands into the torrent, occasionally scooping up various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and then hurriedly flying back to the islands.
Every time the Earth’s energy tide erupted, it would bring forth a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the depths of Earth’s core.
And when that day came, it was the day cultivators would become vastly wealthy.
No wonder all the top forces of the Netherworld contended with each other, struggling for power over these five Earth Core Sea Eyes, resulting in many great wars where they almost fought their brains out.
“Eternal Crystal Essence! This is mine; I saw it first, nobody snatch it.”
“Ha ha, Taiyi Golden Essence! I’ve struck it rich!”
“Elder of the Gloomy Forest, don’t even think about it! The Earth Heart Spirit Flame is not something you can possess.”
“Pah, Qi Xiu, you old dog, just you wait. One day I’ll make you pay. For now, consider the All-purpose Iron entrusted to you.”
…
Two days later, the Earth’s energy tide gradually subsided; the colossal Vortex Sea Eye slowly returned to calm.
Above the ten-thousand-yard-high sky, a five-colored tunneling light arrived from afar and swiftly descended on a floating island about two to three miles in size.
Gazing at Daoist Zhai Kong, who appeared before him, Zhao Sheng was slightly taken aback, “Brother Zhai Kong, what brings you to me?”
Zhai Kong smiled helplessly and pulled out a scroll from his bosom and pushed it towards Zhao Sheng, “Sanbao, Ancestor Master issued a mission, specifically requesting that you take it on. It’s an order I must follow; I have no say in the matter.”
Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered as he reached for the scroll and opened it, his eyebrows raising involuntarily.
“Wanted Gold List number sixty-nine, Wind Waterfall Old Monster Zhu Liu’er, originated from Charm Sect, currently the Water Department Elder of the Heavenly Rebel Alliance… Spotted three days ago in the Sea Boat City… dead or alive, significant rewards offered!”
Zhai Kong then took out a Jade Scroll and explained, “Inside here is all the intelligence our sect has collected about Zhu Liu’er. Please have a look, Junior Brother. If you’re not preoccupied, you’d better set out quickly. Don’t let this demon slip away again.”
“Brother, with these actions… why would Ancestor Master specifically instruct me to undertake this task?”
“Ancestor Master has always been unfathomable and far-sighted. His thoughts are not for the likes of us to speculate. Don’t overthink it, Junior Brother. It must be a good thing, not a bad one.”
“Oh, I see,” said Zhao Sheng, not pursuing the matter any further.
Although Zhai Kong’s words were vague, Zhao Sheng had his suspicions.
After Zhai Kong completed his briefing on the mission, he did not stay for long and soon drifted away.
After Zhao Sheng looked through the information within the Jade Scroll, he too quickly left the cave mansion.
A moment later, a sword rainbow burst forth from the island, piercing the sky. In the blink of an eye, it flew into the Cloud Sea and disappeared from sight.
…
One day later, as the red sun rose, the sea surface glittered with waves.
Countless large and small boats gathered on the sea surface, interconnected with thick iron chains to form a vast and dense ship city.
These ship cities wandering the Wuzhou Sea often formed around the effort to salvage underwater relics and dispersed quickly after the relics were exhausted.
On that day, in a gigantic Third-rank Treasure Ship at the very center of the ship city, a young man with a face like jade, wearing a water-blue long robe, lay lazily on a three-zhang-long Jade Couch, surrounded by a group of stunningly beautiful women.
These female cultivators each unleashed their specialties, desperately trying to please the man in hopes of attracting his attention.
Zhu Liu’er’s eyes were half-open, ignoring the gorgeous cultivators around him as if his mind was elsewhere.
After a while, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the hall, “Jiu’er, how many days left?”
At that moment, a graceful young girl with skin like snow, seemingly made of water, respectfully replied, “Master, at most three days, and we will surely find the Water Gem.”
“Hmm?”
Jiu’er trembled, hurriedly kneeling and bowing, “Master, forgive me, Jiu’er will urge them on once more.”
“Hmm!”
As the sound of the word fell, Zhu Liu’er abruptly sat up, his gaze sharp as lightning, looking upwards.
“Who is the expert secretly spying here?”
“Old Monster Zhu, you—”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Liu’er’s hands ferociously slammed down on the Jade Bed.
