Zhanyue sat in the secret chamber, feeling the changes in the Earth Mother Golden Cauldron. Even though it had only absorbed a little of the Life-Nurturing Soil, Zhanyue noticed that this divine contract object seed to have beco more mysterious and weighty. This feeling made Zhanyue wonder who had forged this item, or if it was even forged by humans at all. From its design and function, the answer seed clear, but as its contractor, Zhanyue felt that things weren’t that simple.
Limited by his own pill-making skills, the Earth Mother Golden Cauldron was currently wasted in Zhanyue’s hands. But Zhanyue had no choice; cultivating both martial arts and pill-making, he didn’t have enough ti to delve deeply into the art of pill refining.
Thinking of pill refining reminded Zhanyue of Baizhi. As the first girl to express her feelings for him and the first person to give him a sense of belonging in this world, Baizhi’s importance to Zhanyue was self-evident. He missed her greatly after not seeing her for so long.
“I wonder how that girl is doing now.” Zhanyue couldn’t help but worry. But after thinking for a mont, he relaxed. Baizhi had three lifetis of mories, her true strength far exceeded what appeared on the surface. If truly pushed to the brink, her hidden past life mories would naturally co into play. Zhanyue knew the power of the Southern Ming Separation Fire.
“Co to think of it, that girl hasn’t sent a ssage for a long ti.” As Zhanyue was pondering this, he sensed sothing unusual in his divine ability space. The purple divine wood stored there had been taken away, and only Baizhi could have taken it.
“Not good, that girl is in danger.” Zhanyue quickly sat down and sent a strand of his soul consciousness to that avatar. “I hope it works!” Zhanyue wasn’t sure if it would succeed, after all, this was in the Heavenly Book world. But soon he relaxed.
In a world of blue seas and skies, the scenery was beautiful, but no one was appreciating such a seascape. Instead, the air was filled with the sll of blood.
“Over there, don’t let her escape!” Several pirate-like n were chasing a white-clad woman. The woman was young and beautiful, with an otherworldly aura and bright, spirited eyes. Though not as stunningly beautiful as Yunyao, she had a certain liveliness and cuteness that made her a rare beauty in the world.
“Hurry, we can’t let her escape. Such a beauty is rare in this world. If we present her to the King of the Ink Sea, we’ll be set for life. We’ll be able to walk tall in these waters afterward,” one of them said.
The white-clad woman was Baizhi. She took out one of her few remaining pills and threw it.
A terrible explosion directly blew her pursuers to ashes. She was usually kind, but even a rabbit bites when cornered. She had encountered many dangers in this world and had already killed many people. She showed no rcy to these disgusting individuals. However, she was almost out of pills, and this world didn’t have enough materials for pill refining.
Soon after, she was discovered again on a deserted island in the vast sea. This ti, the enemy ca out in full force, with over two hundred people surrounding the entire island, making it impossible for her to escape.
And so, the initial scene unfolded.
The pirate leader, looking at the beautiful woman before him, could barely contain himself. But he knew that he couldn’t keep such a beauty for himself, and it might even bring about his demise. The most suitable action was to present her as a gift to the King of the Ink Sea in exchange for his protection.
“Beautiful lady, give up your resistance. We dare not harm you, but you’ve killed and injured so many of my brothers, you need to give us an explanation. We just want to introduce you to the King of the Ink Sea, the most powerful man in these waters,” the pirate leader said, his bald head reflecting the light, seemingly thinking his words were very clever.
Baizhi frowned. Although she still had so ans, the sea was dangerous, and she didn’t want to push herself into a corner. “I’ll have to try that. I hope he’s free right now.” Baizhi knew that Zhanyue was also going through important battles, so she was reluctant to disturb him unnecessarily. If he was in a crucial battle, her call for help might disturb his concentration. But seeing the purple wood lying quietly in her divine ability space, she knew Zhanyue probably wasn’t in such a dangerous situation, as the avatar hadn’t been used. So she gritted her teeth and took it out.
“What treasure is that!” The pirate leader was startled to see Baizhi take out a piece of purple wood from thin air. But what shocked him even more was what happened next. The piece of purple wood transford into a humanoid monster right before everyone’s eyes.
The monster was muscular, two to three ters tall, covered in green scales except for the head. Its lower body wasn’t human but a giant shark tail, with huge fish fins for ears, and a white ‘X’ mark carved on its forehead. It was a Ghost Shark Clan mber.
“M-monster!” Everyone was shocked. They had never seen an intelligent being other than humans before, only reading about monsters in storybooks.
“What’s going on?” Zhanyue turned his head, looking at Baizhi.
Baizhi had seen Zhanyue’s avatar before, so she wasn’t afraid. She said, “They want to capture and present to soone called the King of the Ink Sea.”
Hearing this, a fire of rage seed to ignite directly in Zhanyue’s heart, as if sothing important that belonged to him was about to be snatched away. Even he didn’t notice that his reaction was sowhat excessive, but it also seed natural.
“Then they all deserve to die!”
After having Baizhi take out the Thunder God’s Whip from the divine ability space, Zhanyue began a grass-cutting-like slaughter. Instantly, flesh and blood flew across the deserted island. So were electrocuted to death, so were split in half by a single lash, so were smashed to death by a single palm strike.
The pirate leader was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he even wet his pants. It wasn’t that he had never seen scenes of slaughter before; he had even enjoyed them. But this monster was too violent, too terrifying. The one-sided massacre left him with no will to resist.
“Monster… Great Monster, please spare my life.” He wanted to run but found he couldn’t move his legs, so he directly knelt down.
Zhanyue looked down at him from above, revealing a cruel smile, “You dare to covet what’s mine.” Then the divine whip in his hand fell, and the pirate leader’s head split open like a waterlon.
Soon after, the island returned to silence. The entire island was like a hell on earth, with corpses strewn everywhere.
“Are… are you alright?” Baizhi was clearly frightened by Zhanyue’s ferocity. She had never seen Zhanyue so enraged before.
Zhanyue shook his head, “Just a bunch of small fry, how could anything happen to ? But what about you? Your realm isn’t low, why were you surrounded by them?” Zhanyue was a bit puzzled. His slaughter had gone smoothly; the opponents had no power to fight back.
“I don’t know. This world seems to have so heavenly laws that suppress the upper limit of all human cultivators’ strength. I’m not good at fighting to begin with, and after being suppressed, I’m even worse. These pirates who cultivate their bodies and martial techniques actually have an advantage, not to ntion there are many of them. I’ve almost run out of pills too,” Baizhi explained.
“Suppression? I didn’t feel anything.” Zhanyue was puzzled, but he suddenly realized that his body was of the Ghost Shark Clan, not human. Could it be because of this? Weren’t humans at a great disadvantage in this world then?
“I know what you’re thinking. This world seems to have no intelligent species other than humans,” Baizhi answered Zhanyue’s confusion.
Outside the world, the Spirit of the Heavenly Book widened her beautiful eyes as she watched Zhanyue’s avatar appear in Baizhi’s world. Gritting her teeth, she squeezed out a few words, “This guy is cheating!!!!”
