Master of Kaidan-Chapter 479: Searching for Dragons and Acupoints

"Crush~Flow~Overflow~~"

"KILLER WHALE IN WEIGHT-D (’The Power of Orca - Deep Sea Pressure Form’)"

"POOOOOOWER!"

Accompanied by that powerful audio effect, Feng Xue, after a long absence, donned the All Things Squeezing Driver once again.

After teaching Nezha the "Trendy Woodworking Encyclopedia," Feng Xue didn’t immediately leave Chentang Pass. Firstly, he wanted to stake out the real Taiyi and see what level one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect could reach in this world. Secondly, he was curious about how the world line would develop.

However, considering that historically, Nezha’s disturbance in the ocean was still a year away, he eventually decided to go to the ocean himself first.

Starting the life support mode, the Masked Rider Orca Armor was immediately enveloped by a phantom that resembled an orca, and Feng Xue, standing on the shore, jumped into the sea with a single leap.

With the power of the orca enhancing him, Feng Xue swam much faster than any normal marine animal. Listening to various sounds of marine creatures echoing around him, he maximized the built-in radar of the Masked Rider System, searching for the location of the Undersea Dragon Palace.

Perhaps because the East Sea was even larger than he had imagined, or perhaps there was some mystical protection, Feng Xue leaped through the water and didn’t encounter any scenery that was out of place for the ocean.

Not to mention a Crystal Palace Dragon King Hall, he hadn’t even seen a single water demon. In fact, since arriving in this world, he hadn’t encountered a single "demon."

"Could I be wrong? Does this world only have technology and cultivation, and no demons? It seems that in this world, cultivation is related to Kaidan ’Jun.’ If so, as long as people do not have the concept of ’demons,’ they indeed aren’t likely to manifest. So then, what exactly is triggered by Nezha’s disturbance in the sea?"

Feng Xue scratched his head, but then he felt he might be preoccupied with preconceptions. After all, since this world was included in the transversible worlds, it does exist—and he shouldn’t rashly assume it would follow the storyline of Divine Enthronement just because it shared similarities.

Realizing this, he relaxed his mind, put aside thoughts of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and leaped from the sea, heading directly towards the Eastern Continent.

It wasn’t that he had given up searching for the Dragon Palace, but because there was a very classic landmark "building" that could definitely locate the palace.

Moreover, this place definitely existed now.

Yes, he was looking for Huaguo Mountain Waterfall Cave in the Kingdom of Aolai, Eastern Continent.

Although the monkey wouldn’t appear until the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, which was four to five hundred years later, Huaguo Mountain was known as the ancestral vein of ten continents and the rising dragon of three islands. Even if Aolai Country wasn’t yet established, he could use the Feng Shui divination technique from the four methods of the Motion and Stillness Technique to find this place—

As long as such a place did exist in the world.

And under the iron bridge in front of Huaguo Mountain Waterfall Cave, there was a sea eye undercurrent that led directly to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. If this world was indeed connected with worldviews like Divine Enthronement and Journey to the West, finding the Waterfall Cave would lead to the Dragon Palace.

Of course, it was also possible that the Waterfall Cave didn’t exist at all, or, more conspiratorially, that it had only been carved out when the monkey was about to appear, but even then, it was only a matter of waiting another year or so.

As long as he stayed in this world, his ’Immortal’ power would continue to absorb new nourishment, and even if he ended up doing nothing, he wouldn’t suffer any losses.

Admittedly, a world with internet was indeed convenient. By booking online, Feng Xue easily obtained a ticket to the scenic area of Huaguo Mountain and flew directly from Chentang Pass to Huaguo Mountain, which didn’t yet belong to the Kingdom of Aolai, still searching for the Waterfall Cave.

"I’ll just have to search through all the waterfalls in the mountain."

Feng Xue blended in with the crowd, perfectly embodying the image of a tourist as she followed the Guide all around the scenic area. However, she secretly utilized Feng Shui geomancy to search for the legendary "Pillar that touches the sky where all rivers meet, the unmovable root of the earth,"—yes, the mountain that harbored Sun Wukong’s stone.

"No, no, still no..." Feng Xue listened to the Guide describe various miraculous sights of Huaguo Mountain while stealthily deploying a drone masked by Hermit Power. She linked the drone’s camera to the internal display of the Masked Rider Armor and searched for her target from above.

Though the peak holding the Immortal Stone had not been found, she did identify over a hundred waterfalls after eliminating all those with lesser flow.

"Next, I’ll sort them by monkey activity level and nearby water veins." Feng Xue quickly analyzed the data, placing the waterfalls in priority order, then secretly applied Hermit Power on herself, left a Poisonous Insect Body as a beacon for return, and departed from the group of tourists.

...

"Squeak! Squeak!"

As she walked along the lightly vegetated animal trails, listening to the noisy monkeys in the forest, Feng Xue observed the geomantic layout of the surroundings. The waterfalls of Huaguo Mountain had the sea eyes of the East Sea; the direction of water flow must be different. By consolidating information about plant growth and animal activity, she quickly found a waterfall that relatively matched the layout of Shuilian Cave.

However...

"There’s no Shuilian Cave!"

Feng Xue moved around the back of the waterfall, feeling slightly disappointed. There was neither the iron plank bridge nor the Shuilian Cave. But considering various conspiracy theories, she didn’t give up; she transformed into Masked Rider Orca and leapt into the deep pool beneath the waterfall...

...

"Damn, there really is an underwater current!"

While it’s normal for large waterfalls to have underwater currents, one that could unsettle a 22nd-century device was a bit excessive.

Feng Xue felt as if she had been thrown into a tumbling washing machine, being wildly spun and shaken while the water whisked her rapidly through its depths.

Though escaping the current was not difficult with his abilities, considering the magnitude of the current he decided there must be something unusual about it. He ceased to struggle, letting the water propel him forward fiercely, and the external water pressure readings on his suit started to skyrocket at an exaggerated rate.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, with the emergence of a blocking sensation, Feng Xue felt a weird sense of weightlessness, and then, his vision cleared, and what appeared before him...

Well, he couldn’t see anything.

After all, it was the bottom of the sea, and it was quite normal to have no light. Feng Xue activated the sonar system, with sound waves spreading out, the Masked Rider System rapidly parsed the surrounding environment into recognizable patterns.

But just then, a noise of rapidly spinning propellers suddenly spread in his ears—

"Boom!"
