DONG! DONG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majestic, ancient chimes of the Emperor’s Awakening Bell reverberated through the Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, every other sound in the sprawling, hundred-mile expanse of Weiyuan Immortal City was silenced. Only the tolling of the bell resounded through the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor’s Awakening Bell is ringing... Damn it, three chimes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goddammit, and I just put in for my vacation...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the inner city, a scruffy, middle-aged cultivator emerged from his room with a cigarette dangling from his lips, cursing resentfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah...\" He took a deep breath, tossed the cigarette butt, and ground it out with his boot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and went back into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his treasured Magical Artifact, opened his wardrobe, and changed into a clean, crisp white City Guard Army uniform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his cape unfurled behind him, the middle-aged cultivator was just about to leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a small, sweet voice called out from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you say you were going to stay home and play with me for a few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged cultivator froze. He turned around, his expression softening into a look of resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little girl in a green dress with her hair in pigtails walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Yue’er...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something’s come up. Next time... I promise, next time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s always ’next time’...\" The little girl in green pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough, Yue’er. Your father has important things to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dignified woman with her hair in a high bun gently pulled the little girl to her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on,\" she said to him. \"I’ll take care of things here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm...\" The middle-aged cultivator’s eyes met his wife’s, and he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away, his expression grim and resolute. His back was as straight as a ramrod as he marched toward the city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Zheng, Captain of the Fourth Team, Vermilion Bird Camp of the City Guard Army!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewed from high above,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>countless cultivators in the uniform of the City Guard Army could be seen hurrying through the streets of Weiyuan Immortal City, rushing toward the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guards converged, their white uniforms forming brilliant streams that flowed through the streets and merged at the city wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the ramparts, its many watchtowers, and the battlements were all packed with cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye followed the stream of people and arrived at the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his agreement, he was not required to participate in the defense against the Beast Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Su Ye still planned to observe the Beast Tide’s situation for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Mr. Su! Please, come right this way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in charge of this section of the wall looked at Su Ye with eyes full of reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye gave a slight nod; these cultivators had all participated in the Reverse World clearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the top of the tower, infused his eyes with Magical Power, and activated his Spiritual Eye Skill to gaze into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GASP! Seeing the spectacle outside the Immortal City, Su Ye’s pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were far, far too many demon beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sea outside the Immortal City, not a hint of the ocean’s blue was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a countless horde of demon beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dense, pitch-black Beast Tide surged forward like an overwhelming tsunami, crashing toward the majestic walls of the Immortal City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the sky was blotted out by innumerable flying beasts, whose piercing shrieks sent a chill down one’s spine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This apocalyptic sight made countless cultivators’ faces pale, and they couldn’t help but gasp in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavens... How can there be so many demon beasts?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, am I seeing things? Is that a Dragon-beard Whale?! Dozens of them... How can such a rare type of demon beast be gathered so densely?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing the sheer number and power of the beasts in the tide, the expressions of the Immortal City’s cultivators on the wall changed dramatically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still... as numerous as these demon beasts are, they aren’t the true threat...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s gaze shifted. He swept his Divine Sense toward the rear of the Beast Tide, sensing the concentrations of demonic aura and probing carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magnificent, ethereal blue light flashed in his eyes and was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had activated the [Heart of the Vast Sea]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after a long moment, his heart leaped. He’d found something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very rear of the Beast Tide, three terrifyingly powerful fluctuations of Demon Power were mixed in with the endless demonic aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was high in the sky, moving rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grayish-blue demon bird with a wingspan of over fifteen zhang, capable of summoning a hurricane with a single flap as it soared through the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two were on the surface of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monstrous sea demon brandishing thousands of tentacles covered in suckers and fangs, powerful enough to drag a spirit ship to the bottom of the sea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A creature part crocodile, part dragon, as massive as a mountain and shimmering with a rocky luster. A crystallized protrusion on its head resembled a crown—a giant crocodile dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Evil Celestial Auk, the Thousand-legged Sea Demon, and the Rock-Crowned Crocodile Dragon... Three Demon Kings!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s eyes narrowed. He sensed a deeply familiar aura coming from the three Demon Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of the Sea Successor Remains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can be certain now. The Beast Tide is the work of the aboriginals...’ Su Ye sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In fact, I could have confirmed it through simple logic.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, the Beast Tide’s route was far too strange.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It had ignored every human settlement along its path—unless it was directly in its way—and made a beeline for Weiyuan Immortal City!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It arrived outside the Immortal City in an impossibly short amount of time!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’More than half the cultivators who came for the grand auction hadn’t even had time to leave the Immortal City after it ended...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With this kind of behavior... even a six-year-old could guess someone was pulling the strings!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... if we include Navasen... that makes four Crystal Core-level combatants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「At that moment.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the clear sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin descended from the sky, his gray-white Daoist robes wreathed in dazzling lightning and electrical arcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canghai’s first disciple arrived at the wall, leading more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiuying was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined aura of a Crystal Core Master and over twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators invigorated the spirits of the other cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye, however, frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight of these twenty-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators had been fighting alongside him in the Reverse World not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So Weiyuan Immortal City is short on manpower, too...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without using his Divine Sense, Su Ye could sense their fatigue and weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, not every cultivator possessed an astonishing level of Body Refining like he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battles in the Reverse World had taken a severe toll on their Magical Power and mental fortitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, you could probably count on one hand the number of cultivators on the wall who could perceive that these Foundation Establishment cultivators were not in peak condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the boost to morale was still quite significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stabilizing the defenders’ morale, Sikong Xin posted a list of rewards for contributions to the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Beast Tide is upon us! Weiyuan Immortal City is recruiting Loose Cultivators...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It offered cultivation resources like Spirit Stones, Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Objects, and elixirs to entice the city’s Loose Cultivators into battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this end, Weiyuan Immortal City had made many rare resources available, even offering the chance to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was enough to make the hearts of many Loose Cultivators pound, and they eagerly signed up to fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a street corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Muyun, dressed in pink, was lost in thought. ’A Beast Tide, is it...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to a secluded corner, and with a slight movement of her fingers, she inscribed a simple Magical Power sigil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a secret sigil of the Cyan Profound Sect, and its meaning was simple: call for backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1365,"2026-06-05T21:02:39.313Z",1,"novelbin.me","443c10d641b27c1aa42292bbe13c2f0eeb81dee74a6cee3c670e108a2988a886","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-182","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-203",236,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-cover.jpg"]
