Chapter 209: Sea Beasts

Water Blue Star.

In Sakura Country, He Mao Chun Yi Lang, who is already the National Master and a Yin-Yang Master, has been busy near Sakura Mountain for the past few days.

This area, which was designated as a restricted zone early on due to the descent of the Abyss, was once a famous tourist destination in Sakura Country.

Now, it has once again received special attention.

The reason is none other than that He Mao Chun Yi Lang has once again written to notify the Sakura Emperor and the Cabinet Ministers that there is still a possibility of a Space-Time Rift appearing in the same spot!

And this time, there is a possibility that even more terrifying monsters will appear.

Therefore, in order to protect the entire Sakura Country as much as possible, it is very necessary to turn this vicinity into a permanent defensive fortification.

And it is not just Sakura Country and Flower Flag Country participating.

Resisting invaders from another world is a major matter for all of humanity.

All capable major powers should come to lend a helping hand!

This naturally includes major powers like Beijixiong Guo and the Eastern Ancient Kingdom, which previously did not have very good relations with Sakura Country and Flower Flag Country.

If it were in the past, Flower Flag Country would certainly have jumped out to stop it, stating that they could resolve everything themselves.

But now, especially after the Beijiquan Xiwangdao Jidi was submerged by a tsunami, not to mention the heavy losses.

This series of blows.

Has also made the high-level officials of all walks of life in Flower Flag Country feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, forcing them to wake up in the face of the eerie power of mysterious forces.

Added to this are the warnings from the mysterious side and more and more evidence proving that this world is becoming increasingly unsafe.

The trend of a great human alliance has, in a sense, already reached a consensus.

Besides the resumption of cooperation in economy and technology, military cooperation has also become an expected matter.

Because of this, when He Mao Chun Yi Lang finished his meditation in the temporarily constructed Heiya Shenmiao Temple and inspected the construction site ahead.

Looking into the distance, one could see the flags of more than ten different powers fluttering on this land.

Furthermore, every few days, one could see more new types of weapons appearing in these fortifications—weapons that usually only appear in scientific magazines and promotional covers, but are rarely equipped in reality.

Electromagnetic Cannons capable of firing special shells weighing over one hundred kilograms.

Particle weapons that can release ultra-high-temperature plasma.

And even photon weapons, suspected to be tractor beams, mounted under modified heavy Drones...

One after another, weapons that He Mao Chun Yi Lang had heard of, had not heard of, only half-understood, or knew nothing about, appeared here, leaving this Yin-Yang Master wide-eyed.

He also vaguely realized that the major powers were likely taking out the things from their bottom-of-the-barrel reserves, hoping to test them on the battlefield to find weapons capable of effectively countering those monsters.

On one hand, He Mao Chun Yi Lang hoped that these technological weapons would have no way to counter those monsters, thereby making his own status as an extraordinary person with extraordinary heritage more solid and lofty.

On the other hand, he hoped that human technological weapons would be effective, thereby resisting the otherworldly invasion and preventing the world he is familiar with from moving step by step toward a war-torn world of devastation because of this disaster.

Su Ping also learned about the changes in the Sakura Mountain area through He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

He was also happy to see the technological weapons of the major powers.

If there were truly useful technological weapons, Su Ping would not mind learning and borrowing one or two.

Furthermore, although he reminded the other party that Abyss Rifts would continue to appear at Sakura Mountain when he summoned He Mao Chun Yi Lang to the Pot Heaven.

He did not intend to continue using Space-Time Rift Challenge Scrolls there in these few days.

Su Ping intended to wait a while, letting He Mao Chun Yi Lang set up the Array and allowing the various powers more time to prepare.

Only then would it be convenient for him to open higher-difficulty challenges to obtain more rewards.

Of course, during this period, Ordinary Challenge Scrolls appeared in the Travel Shop, and Su Ping did not let them go.

It was just that for these Ordinary Challenge Scrolls, Su Ping did not continue to make any big moves on Water Blue Star.

Finding a place with rare human activity and a ley line, he would open it, and after the monsters appeared, he would simply take action to wipe them out.

This also let the major powers, who had discovered these Space-Time Rifts belatedly via satellites, know that the extraordinary forces were still working hard.

When it was necessary to notify them to stall for time, it was truly because he could not spare any manpower for a short period.

The Great Ocean, the tourist resort Maoyi Dao.

Large areas of streets here that were once turned into ruins by wildfires have now been built into villa areas and hotels.

A large number of tourists gathered here for vacation as usual.

Neither mysterious events nor drastic climate changes seemed to have affected their interest.

There were even reports constantly promoting that mysterious events, including Abyss Rifts, would only appear in the Northern Hemisphere.

Therefore, the Southern Hemisphere was now the safer place on Water Blue Star, and more worthy of people's investment and living.

In the waters off Maoyi Dao, on a yacht.

Several divers who looked amateurish jumped off the yacht with laughter.

Preparing for a graduation trip conducted underwater.

The leader felt something abnormal as soon as they sank into the Dahai.

They felt a stinging pain on their skin.

It was not because the seawater was cold, but as if there were sharp thorns in the current stimulating the skin.

At the same time, looking from the deep seabed, it seemed that some dark red light appeared in the depths of the seabed in the distance!

That halo carried an abnormal eeriness; just looking at it from afar was enough to make one's spine instinctively turn cold!

This person felt that something was wrong and hurriedly surfaced.

Then this person saw those classmates also popping their heads out one by one, with a trace of terror on their faces.

Clearly, this was not a hallucination caused by getting diving claustrophobia!

"It's a bit strange, let's get back on the boat first."

After less than a second of silence, a girl with short brown hair spoke up to suggest, and was immediately echoed.

At this moment, no one acted like a supporting character in a horror movie who, despite being terrified, still wanted to run over to check it out out of overflowing curiosity.

They only wanted to get on the boat to get far away from this sea area, and then hurry to report it.

As for whether it was an opportunity or a danger... that should be left for the big shots above to bear!

These amateur divers had just boarded the boat.

Someone saw the changes on the sea surface and let out a cry of surprise.

They saw countless schools of fish suddenly emerge, then desperately try to flee from the direction of the red light on the seabed.

Among them, there were even large sharks and other fish.

And they seemed to have gone mad, constantly ramming into the bottom of the yacht, causing the yacht to shake continuously and triggering a burst of screams from several people.

"Woo!"

A strange cry spread through the ocean, and immediately following it.

One snake head after another emerged from the seawater.

It was not until all nine snake heads had emerged that no more heads appeared.

Each of these snake heads was the size of that yacht.

And when the upper body covered in dark green scales emerged.

Looking from afar, it was almost as large as a small mountain.

"Holy Lord above!"

"Look over there! What kind of monster is that!"

On the beach, the people who were sunbathing while observing the scenery with binoculars were the first to discover the anomaly.

Then, under their exclamations, the panic of these people spread to others.

"Damn it, didn't the content creators say that the Southern Hemisphere wouldn't encounter monsters!"

"It's over, it's all over! I just invested in a hotel here!"

"Run, that monster has stirred up a tsunami!"

Soon, the people on the beach saw that as the nine-headed snake raised its heads, it had actually stirred up giant waves!

The people swimming in the sea now had to speed up their return to the shore.

However, in the eyes of the rescue teams that were rushing over.

The speed of these people was too slow.

Their speed could not compare to the waves that had already taken shape.

Moreover, compared to these tourists, the rescue personnel were more worried about that monster on the distant sea surface.

And people kept expressing confusion as to why they had not received a warning for this monster invasion.

Could it be that even a warning of this level had to be delayed and shirked?

The management of Maoyi Dao was equally dumbfounded and contacted the nearby military base at the first opportunity.

However, after the Flower Flag Country military in the base obtained the first-hand data.

They all hesitated.

Especially those generals who knew the detailed data of the Arctic Circle were even more filled with fear about dealing with the monster on the sea.

After all, there were still too few means for humans to effectively act in the sea nowadays.

If they couldn't beat the opponent head-on, what should they do if it dived and used special abilities to fight?

The generals still had the fleet take action at the first opportunity.

But it was not intended to face the enemy head-on... but rather to launch an attack toward the rear!

Of course, while the fleet was moving, the Drones in the military base flew up first, not fearing death.

At the same time, dozens of missiles that had been in a state of alert flew out from various facilities and shot toward the nine-headed snake on the sea surface.

However, a pale blue water ripple shield appeared a thousand meters from the nine-headed snake.

When the missiles landed on these shields, it was like entering the deep sea; they only advanced less than a few hundred meters before losing power and beginning to fall.

Even if there were explosions, their power was greatly reduced within the shield, and they couldn't affect the body of the nine-headed snake at all.

Instead, the waves began to approach the island, and their speed became faster and faster as they got closer to the beach!

Roar!

Suddenly!

The waves were sucked away by two suddenly appearing vortex forces, forming two water spouts that shot straight into the sky.

Then, accompanied by a roar like an ancient giant beast, a mysterious turtle giant beast as large as a mountain or a mountain range emerged between the two water spouts.

Just as this sea giant beast emerged, before those dumbfounded tourists on the beach could cry out in surprise.

This mysterious turtle giant beast carried the water spouts and crashed directly into the nine-headed snake on the sea!

The two sea giant beasts collided together.

In an instant, it made people feel what it meant for the sky to go dark and the sun and moon to be inverted.

A large amount of seawater was stirred up and shot into the sky, sweeping across the heavens.

It was as if the sky had also become a part of the ocean.

After dozens of seconds, the military of the Flower Flag Country, through intelligent comparison of the mysterious turtle giant beast.

They judged with a 99.9 percent probability that this giant beast was likely the one that caused them heavy losses in the Arctic Circle!

The speed at which the Flower Flag Country military base's fleet was fleeing became even faster!

Deep in the seabed.

Su Ping was watching the Space-Time Rift that had appeared on the seabed while performing a charging operation.

That nine-headed snake on the sea was naturally an Abyss boss summoned by Su Ping using an Abyss Normal Challenge Scroll.

The reason he came to the ley lines of this Maoyi Dao.

This was also because Su Ping saw someone online reasoning quite logically.

They believed that the Southern Hemisphere had not encountered any true mysterious events up to this point.

This was not normal, and it could be due to several reasons...

To keep them from overthinking, Su Ping felt he could use the Ordinary Challenge scroll he had obtained here.

Then Su Ping discovered that Space-Time Rifts do not always appear in the sky.

Like this Space-Time Rift, it appeared from the deep seabed and spread to the shallow water area.

Consequently, the outside world failed to discover this special phenomenon for a short time.

Because the battle was taking place in the sea.

Su Ping directly summoned the young Black Tortoise and Da Hei to help.

As of now, the combat power of the young Black Tortoise was still very reliable.

Even when encountering an Abyss boss whose attributes were stronger than its own in every aspect.

His young Black Tortoise still did not fall into a disadvantage, and if it came to a war of attrition, it would definitely win this victory.

Although the young Black Tortoise had lower attack power, and its biting and breath attacks could hardly deal heavy damage to the Hydra, it could at least still cause injury.

Yet the Hydra's snake heads were completely helpless against the young Black Tortoise.

Its poisonous fangs could not even break the skin.

As for water-type spells, there was no need to mention them; the sea waves, water tornadoes, or storms stirred up by both sides... neither side could break the other's defense!

Su Ping opened his Divine Sense fully and locked onto the target.

Taking advantage of the moment the young Black Tortoise bit down on the Hydra's middle neck while its two claws opened to grab the Hydra's massive body tightly.

Su Ping blasted out the Beidou Tanlang Fist from beneath the Hydra!

After a loud boom.

A large amount of water vapor rose into the air from the sea surface.

Accompanied by the sound of a notification.

Su Ping withdrew the young Black Tortoise and Da Hei, who was of no use when facing an Abyss boss, and then turned to leave this sea area.

As for what would happen to this region after witnessing the battle between these two great sea beasts, it was none of Su Ping's business.

Following the fall of the massive water curtain, the tourists discovered that the sea beasts were all gone.

After a burst of shouting and clamoring, the travelers all wanted to upload the videos they had just taken.

But... they soon discovered that this area had already lost its internet connection!

…………

As an Immortal Sect walker, Zhou Xuan had completed a simple tour of the various dharma lineages in Beidi.

When he was summoned back to the Pot Heaven by Su Ping.

Su Ping learned from him that strange illnesses had been springing up all over Water Blue Star recently.

Zhou Xuan was also entrusted by others to ask the Yunlai Immortal if this had anything to do with any Heavenly Demon or heretical path.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping knew these matters had nothing to do with him.

He also disdained to attribute these various strange illnesses to Heavenly Demons or heretical paths.

Otherwise, how awkward would it be once the experts found the real cause of the illness?

However, Su Ping took out a stack of Filth-Cleansing Talismans and gave them to Zhou Xuan.

He let him try to see if these talismans could treat strange illnesses that were primarily caused by infection rather than being congenital.

Su Ping was very clear that in the Cultivation World, cultivators believed that it was the accumulation of Filth Qi that caused mortals to fall ill.

Therefore, by removing Filth Qi and strengthening righteous energy, many illnesses could be cured without medicine.

In Su Ping's view, this was just strengthening one's self-immunity to cure illnesses.

But because of this, Su Ping recalled one of the selection criteria for Incense Boys among mortals in the Blood God Sect: those whose bodies were entangled with Filth Qi.

Of course, Su Ping would not be so unscrupulous as to train people into Incense Boys.

However, these special individuals entangled with Filth Qi had relatively unique constitutions in the way of incense, and perhaps they could lend him a hand when operating a grand array!

Zhou Xuan returned to the real world with the talismans.

Then he appeared inside the nearest hospital.

Zhou Xuan also had a little bit of selfishness.

One of the reasons for asking his master was that someone among his own relatives had also contracted a strange illness.

Dressed in Daoist robes, Zhou Xuan was quite conspicuous in the hospital.

It was just that whenever someone approached to ask something, they would often suddenly forget what they had come to do the moment they made eye contact with him.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xuan appeared in a hospital room.

And there he saw his parents, as well as his second uncle, third uncle, and others.

Upon seeing Zhou Xuan, these people could not help but stand up.

After Zhou Xuan's identity was exposed, they all knew at the first moment that this little nephew of theirs had become an incredible and important figure!

The looks they cast at Zhou Xuan were filled with envy and jealousy.

Zhou Xuan performed a salute and looked at the patient on the hospital bed.

It was his eldest uncle's youngest son.

For some reason, all kinds of small bumps had appeared on his face and body.

And these small bumps would slowly grow larger like tumors.

They had been to several hospitals, but none could determine the condition.

His eldest uncle and the others had also looked for spirit mediums, but those people, after taking the money and finding it ineffective, all made excuses that the Heavenly Demon was too powerful and fled.

There was no other way; they could only turn to Zhou Xuan, who in their eyes possessed true ability.

Zhou Xuan was actually feeling apprehensive himself.

His master had stated very clearly that these strange illnesses were in all likelihood unrelated to the arts of Heavenly Demons and heretical paths.

In this day and age, those of the Side-Door Path who possess true ability are extremely rare, and most of them abide by the rules.

He could only warn his uncle's family that he could only do his best.

After taking out a Talisman, Zhou Xuan chanted a mantra and cast a spell.

Then, the Talisman transformed into a streak of Golden Light that sank into the patient, who was already unconscious and relying on breathing to sustain their life.

The Cleansing Talisman began to take effect.

People all around the hospital room widened their eyes, discovering that the small bumps on the child's body were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One by one, they began to shout excitedly:

"It's working!"

"Wuwuwu, it's really working!"

"As expected, one must find a genuine practitioner of the Daoist sect!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, thank you, Heavenly Venerable!"

Watching his uncle's youngest son improve, Zhou Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He declined the gifts of gratitude from his relatives.

Yet, not long after leaving the hospital room, he was once again found by members of the Investigation Team.

Remembering that after the Immortal had given him the Talismans, he had also instructed him to try and see which strange illnesses they could be effective against.

Zhou Xuan nodded and agreed to the Investigation Team's request, becoming an Avatar of a little miracle doctor.
