Indescribable Source:

Item Quality: Legend

Item Level: 20

Item Type: Curio

Special Effect 1: Twisted Knowledge

When using this curio, you will receive a flood of chaotic, disordered knowledge, and your flesh will begin to change at the speed of your will.

After use ends, you will make a Will check and a Constitution check; if you fail, you will transform into an indescribable creature.

After transforming into an indescribable creature, you will lose some abilities that rely on your original bloodline power, and you will gain new twisted abilities.

ps: After transforming into an indescribable creature, your alignment will greatly shift toward chaos.

When using this curio, you can share the chaotic, disordered knowledge with others, causing them to undergo the same Will and Constitution checks.

Each time you use this item to transform an indescribable creature, you will receive the great gaze and gift of the indescribable.

Special Effect 2: Chaotic Call:

You can summon indescribable creatures from the void to fight.

After a successful summon, you gain indescribable divine power or gifts based on the number of indescribable creatures summoned.

Special Effect 3: Gaze of the Indescribable Divine:

After a standard action, you activate the curio's special power; the curio will automatically transmit your current plane coordinates to the indescribable deity, and the indescribable deity will descend onto your current plane.

When the indescribable deity descends, you will gain indescribable power or gifts based on the current world coordinate level.

Good stuff, absolutely good stuff, good enough to destroy a world.

As long as you use this thing, regardless of whether you can resist the so-called twisted knowledge, it can plunge the world into great indescribable terror.

The existence of this thing is like a cancer cell, spreading infinitely from a single point, plunging the entire world into madness.

This world has already begun to develop toward madness.

Previously, those indescribable deities outside the world needed to transmit power through their retinue, but now they can transmit power across space.

They can project things onto Mu Yi's face, and they can also project things onto other creatures.

That is, the Ming dynasty has a protective barrier; otherwise, the land would probably be ablaze with war everywhere.

Profound, mad, chaotic; Mu Yi merely gazes at the light cluster before him, feeling his sanity evaporate, even giving rise in his heart to a mad desire to embrace, explore, and master it.

Mu Yi promptly cut off these stray thoughts, then stored them in his item bag; once the Zongwang gathered them, Mu Yi instantly felt his surroundings brighten.

Not daring to delay, Mu Yi hurried to find Zheng He.

"General, we need to speed up!" Mu Yi said solemnly to Zheng He.

"Why?" Zheng He looked at Mu Yi, somewhat surprised.

"The evil god's erosion of this world is deepening; if we don't act quickly, what we face may not be the evil god's minions but the evil god itself!"

Zheng He's expression changed slightly; as the one who knows the most, he clearly understands what the evil god represents.

One can get a glimpse of this from the tragic fate of the Four Sea Dragon Kings.

"Activate the Tide Secret Art, full speed ahead!"

Without much hesitation, Zheng He directly issued the military order.

The surging waves embraced the fleet as it rushed toward their destination, speed nearly double that before, as if it were flying.

"This is why I said it's a dead end; in our world, the density of heaven and earth's essence is insufficient; if it were higher, the fleet could completely fly in the sky!"

Zheng He turned his head and said to Mu Yi.

"Why are you telling me this?" Mu Yi was somewhat surprised, feeling that Zheng He was consciously speaking these things to teach him.

By rights, these things are also secret teachings not to be passed on; at the very least, one would need to spend some sect contribution to obtain them, after all this already counts as hands-on instruction.

"In a dead end, one must always find a way to live; I cannot do it, perhaps you, the exalted god, can!"

Zheng He smiled, his eyes very profound.

Mu Yi scratched his head, not expecting it to be like this.

After a little thought, since not taking advantage is foolish, Mu Yi bluntly poured out all his doubts and confusions from observing Zheng He command the navy these days.

Zheng He also hid nothing, answering Mu Yi's questions one by one.

"Zongwang Prompt: You accept Zheng He's guidance, your Military Strategist knowledge is increasing……"

"Zongwang Prompt: Your profession skill Military Strategist-Command and Dispatch has been raised, current skill level lv5!"

"Zongwang Prompt: Your profession skill Military Strategist-Command and Dispatch has been raised to the maximum lv5, cannot be increased further! Need special conditions to unlock the cap!"

"You have gained a new profession feat—Command and Dispatch."

Command and Dispatch

Type: Profession Feat

Description: When performing Command and Dispatch, Cloud Energy mobilization speed increases by 10%.

A feat barely better than nothing, but as a standing ability it's still not bad.

"Zongwang Prompt: You have gained Military Strategist naval-related knowledge, you have gained the profession skill Military Strategist-naval-related secret art divine ability, which can be unlocked by consuming Universal Experience and Zongwang Disaster Coin!"

Zheng He poured all his knowledge into Mu Yi in one go; Mu Yi understood part of it, and the rest was stored by the Zongwang as a database.

This part, Mu Yi can learn through self-study, or directly unlock by consuming Universal Experience and Zongwang Disaster Coin.

Compared to the latter, the former will be more facile in use.

Zheng He perfectly played the role of a teacher, giving Mu Yi a comprehensive understanding of Command and Dispatch, Cloud Energy, and Military Strategist.

Bai Qi previously only helped him lay a solid foundation, whereas Zheng He this time truly improved his ability in the Military Strategist path.

And the tale of teacher and friend came to an abrupt end at the climax, because they had reached their destination.

"We've arrived!"

Zheng He's face was solemn; with their arrival, an unprecedented chaotic aura began to rise on the sea surface.

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled thunder rolled across the sea, and the sky's dark clouds thickened, dimming everything in an instant.

Two twisted, distorted divine dragons leapt from the sea, diving into the clouds; bolts of thunder fluttered through the clouds like silver snakes, and even Mu Yi, who was inside the Cloud Energy Shield, could feel that Frenzy‑filled thunder and lightning.

"East Sea Dragon King, South Sea Dragon King…"

The coverage exceeded ten kilometers, almost enveloping an entire sea area.

Apart from Jiuzhou's native Four Seas Dragon Clan, the Dragon Kings of each world are generally not the same.

For example, the Four Seas Dragon Clan native to Jiuzhou has green dragons in the East Sea, red dragons in the South Sea, white dragons in the West Sea, and black dragons in the North Sea.

But the Dragon Kings beyond Jiuzhou all come from the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and there is no rule that they must be arranged as green, red, white, black.

It's like the North Sea Dragon King of this world is a red dragon, while the West Sea Dragon King is a white dragon.

And the East Sea Dragon King and South Sea Dragon King of this world are both green dragons.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings are led by the East Sea Dragon King, and the Four Seas Dragon Clan is naturally led by the East Sea Clan, so in this world the East Sea and South Sea Dragon Kings are far stronger than the North Sea Dragon King.

The two green dragons, moving clouds and calling rain, their thunder‑laden clouds covered more than ten kilometers, almost shrouding an entire sea area.

Mu Yi could feel the gathering thunder power between heaven and earth, a force that even made his skin tingle.

A crackling downpour soon fell from the sky; a terrifying storm seemed to be brewing, turning this spot into the eye of the storm. Gale‑driven waves rose on the sea, and the Cloud Energy‑shrouded ships rocked violently.

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Rolling thunder roared, and crackling lightning struck repeatedly, slashing the Cloud Energy Shield.

Zheng He's expression was not pleasant; he ordered the fleet to circle the center of the chaos. The two Dragon Kings in the heavens were only appetizers; he sensed more evil god minions rising from the deep sea.

Several silhouettes seemed to flash across the sea surface.

They were deep‑divers wielding bizarre weapons, taller and stronger than any deep‑diver Mu Yi's party had seen before. These fish monsters brandished various weapons exuding chaotic aura, sprinting across the sea toward the fleet.

Beneath the sea, several massive shadows emerged, radiating twisted and chaotic energy.

"What formidable combat power!"

Mu Yi closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings.

"Basically all of them are equivalent to high‑level Transcendent practitioners; the number of Legend creatures is at least five…"

That was not good news for them.

The fleet's Cloud Energy attacks could never fully hit the two freely soaring Dragon Kings; even grazing them with a half‑body bombardment only caused light wounds, as the dragons' regenerative ability is already absurd, let alone in their twisted state.

Failing to land a solid hit means they cannot crush bone and scatter ash.

"We'll handle the two Dragon Kings in the sky! We'll provide supplies for the fleet."

The True Immortal of Wudang Mountain and the Abbot of Bao'en Temple wore grim faces; dueling the Four Sea Dragon Kings was no easy task, but they both knew that without someone to hold them back, the fleet's Cloud Energy attacks could not eliminate the enemy.

If this drags on, no one will get a good outcome.

The massive Taiji Diagram and the Buddha Light "Swastika" Seal burst the dark clouds in the sky.

The True Immortal and the Abbot surged into the heavens, entangling the two Dragon Kings in battle.

"I excel at nurturing vast righteous Qi!"

The Great Confucian, who had rarely taken formal action before, straightened his robes and loudly proclaimed to the firmament.

A surge of vast righteous Qi shot upward from his body, diluting the chaos and disorder spreading over the ocean.

"The evil things beneath the sea will appear ten thousand li away in the next moment!"

Confucian divine skill—Words Follow Law!

As the Great Confucian spoke, the massive black shadows lurking beneath the sea vanished instantly, and the ocean's condition cleared in an instant.

Yet the root chaotic aura from the deep sea never dissipated.

"Puff~" The Great Confucian's face resembled gold paper; he staggered upright, staring at the sea before him.

"Miscalculated, didn't expect so many evil beings…"

Several figures saturated with chaotic aura rushed up from beneath the sea at breakneck speed; although the Great Confucian had expelled a batch of evil god minions, banishing them ten thousand li away, the situation had not changed much.

"This evil being will appear ten thousand li away in the next moment!" the Great Confucian forced himself to announce again.

This time only one evil god minion disappeared beneath the sea, and the Great Confucian fell backward; although Words Follow Law is powerful, its consumption is enormous.

There is blue krypton blue, no blue krypton destiny.

The Great Confucian could already exile several Legend creatures ten thousand li away, and pushing to send away another one was already his utmost effort.

Though those exiled Legend creatures will surely return, at least they have given Mu Yi's party a chance to defeat them one by one.

"Ao Mo, North Sea Dragon King!"

Mu Yi roared, drew the Mountain Water Seal, and the three of them began to manipulate the ocean together.

Under their combined control, the seawater suddenly began to swirl, forming a massive vortex that engulfed all the evil god minions beneath the surface; the vortex's suction immobilized them, drawing them gradually toward its center.

"Lord Zheng!" Mu Yi shouted, and Zheng He instantly understood.

"Cloud Energy attack, break it for me!"

Dense Cloud Energy condensed in Zheng He's hand; upon the command, it was released in an instant, a dazzling beam of energy bombarding the evil beings at the vortex's core.

In just a heartbeat, the two Legend creatures were reduced to ash.

However, several other Legend creatures affected were thrust out from beneath the sea.

"Attack! Keep attacking!"

Zheng He showed no great fear in his eyes, merely speaking calmly as he attacked; these Legend beings were not very strong, and a barrage would send them skyward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The massive roar kept echoing as the vortex‑bound Legend beings wailed amid the Cloud Energy attack's thunder.

Yet they could not break free of the vortex's bind; Mu Yi, the North Sea Dragon King, and Ao Mo teamed up, their ocean‑control ability matching even the two official Dragon Kings in the sky.

A group of the lucky who have managed to join the Legend marine creatures simply cannot contend with this great power.

However, as the fleet mercilessly bombarded these legendary creatures, gradually wearing away their life force.

Only a dark seabed suddenly extended a massive tentacle, which immediately coiled around the Cloud Energy shield, as if to drag the entire fleet into the deep sea.

"The stars… will… return…"

A strange, muffled voice sounded, interspersed with chaotic, disorderly whispers, as tentacles bearing suction cups suddenly emerged from the darkest depths.

A vague, immense black silhouette could be seen appearing beneath the fleet.

It was an extremely terrifying oppressive force!

All present were powerful Transcendent practitioners capable of resisting dragon's might, yet under this oppressive force they felt incomparable fear.
