Chapter 346 Chaos Burns the Sea (Part 1)
Tiandu Peak, deep within a mountain.
Dark clouds loomed over the mountain peaks, exuding a dangerous aura that inspired fear. It was as if someone might discover that someone was undergoing a tribulation.
An old man was sitting cross-legged when suddenly a gust of wind arose. This was no ordinary wind. If a Mahayana cultivator were present, they would immediately recognize this as the final calamity of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations—the Crow Wind Calamity.
The wind blew into his internal organs from the fontanelle, causing him unbearable pain. Old Lin clenched his teeth tightly, but the bulging veins on his head showed his agony.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind blew into his dantian again, causing it to churn wildly with the spiritual energy. The dantian is the foundation of a cultivator; once damaged, the tribulation will fail. Old Lin silently recited an ancient incantation and cast mysterious and obscure spells. An hour passed in this manner.
Finally, the wind blew into his nine orifices, and then through every bone and piece of flesh, causing his whole body to begin to twist.
"Ah!" The inhuman pain was unbearable, and now he could only rely on his faith and willpower to get through it.
"No one can stop me, for her sake! Ah!" Elder Lin began to gather his spiritual power again, and there was no doubt that he would be able to get through it successfully in a few more hours.
"Hehe, I've finally broken through to the Mahayana stage. Yuemin, wait for me, I will revive you one day!" A resolute light shone in his weathered eyes; this man was none other than Lin Yun.
……
"Elder Feng, Elder Lin, let's go." Bai Ke opened the Lingyun Ferry. Originally, the Lingyun Ferry was for escaping, since it cost a lot of spirit stones, but due to the urgency of time, he didn't care about that anymore.
With the cultivation level of the Wind Jade Great Ascension stage, piloting the Lingyun Ferry, coupled with a large amount of spirit stones, the speed, while not reaching the speed of light, was still quite fast.
Lingyun Ferry sped through the air at breakneck speed, so fast that its shadow could not be seen.
"Huh? Uncle Lin, have you already broken through to the Mahayana stage?" Feng Yu asked doubtfully.
Old Lin glanced at Feng Yu, too lazy to explain.
"It seems I should congratulate Uncle Lin on taking another step forward."
"Hmph, there's nothing to congratulate you on. Although the Mahayana stage is the peak in the current Mountain and Sea Realm, it's still far from enough!"
"As expected of a former prodigy of Tian Ce, his vision is indeed broad," Feng Yu exclaimed in admiration.
"Stop talking nonsense and get on your way!"
Old Feng smiled and continued on his way.
"Old Feng, how much longer until we arrive?" Bai Ke asked.
"We'll reach the sea in about half an hour, and the Chaotic Burning Sea in about an hour. Don't worry, young Feng," Elder Feng explained.
The Chaotic Burning Sea is one of the three forbidden areas of the sea, teeming with countless powerful and extremely violent demonic beasts. Danger lurks everywhere there, and a single misstep could lead to one's demise.
Even if it's dangerous, I must rescue my father and the others. Now I just hope the sect leader and the others can hold on a little longer. Father, wait for me! Bai Ke thought to himself.
"The Chaotic Burning Sea is just ahead, and the people from the Tide Sect are below!" Feng Yu said.
"Let's go down." Bai Ke put away his magic weapon, Lingyun Ferry.
"Greetings, Elder of Tian Ce Palace, Holy Son. We are here on the Emperor's orders to await the arrival of Tian Ce Palace," said the disciple of the Tide Sect.
"Thank you," Bai Ke said calmly, but unexpectedly he saw a familiar figure.
"Zhao Xueqian, the Holy Maiden of the Tide Gate, greets the Elder. The Emperor feels deeply guilty about the matter concerning the Tian Ce Sect Leader. He should have gone to rescue him personally, but his injuries have not yet healed. Therefore, he specially ordered me to come and go to the sea to assist the Tian Ce Palace in rescuing him," Zhao Xueqian said calmly.
"What? The Emperor is actually injured!" Feng Yu exclaimed in surprise.
"The scoundrel Nangong Que, together with Feng Qiong, the master of Fengyu Tower in Zhongsha Domain, plotted against the three leaders of Tian Ce Sect. Although the Emperor was injured while trying to save them, he did not expect that the three leaders of Tian Ce Sect would still be forced into the Chaotic Burning Sea. The Emperor felt very guilty about this."
Feng Yu suddenly became unusually agitated. Sure enough, it was that scoundrel. Bai Ke noticed Feng Lao's strange behavior.
"Calm down, Elder Feng," Bai Ke said immediately in a low voice.
"Your Majesty need not feel guilty. I should thank Your Majesty for saving my father and his two brothers' lives. I wonder if Your Majesty's injuries are serious?" Bai Ke said.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty only needs to rest for a few days."
"However, Holy Maiden, if I may be so bold, the Chaotic Burning Sea is extremely dangerous. It would be best if you did not go, lest something unexpected happen," Bai Ke said. The implication was that for someone at the early Nascent Soul stage like you to go would be suicide, and you would only be a burden to them.
Although a Nascent Soul cultivator was already considered a prodigy at her age of twenty-five or twenty-six, there were still many powerful demons at the Mahayana stage in the Chaotic Burning Sea. If it weren't for saving her father, Bai Ke wouldn't have dared to step into it so easily.
"The Emperor's command cannot be disobeyed," Zhao Xueqian said calmly.
Lin Yun carefully observed the Tide Saintess and suddenly realized that the girl was indeed extraordinary.
"Young master, this little girl has an extremely Yin constitution, and an unusual power is sealed within her body," Lin Yun transmitted his voice.
Bai Ke had long suspected that she was not simple, but he never expected that she had the body of extreme Yin.
Those with the Yin constitution possess extremely strong cultivation aptitude, making rapid progress in cultivation. However, it is a pity that this constitution is envied by the heavens, and it is said that without the help of the legendary Yang constitution, they will not live past the age of thirty!
No wonder Zhao Xueqian always has such a cold demeanor; it makes sense when you think about it. She was sentenced to death at birth, and all she does every day is cultivate and wait to die. No one could possibly be happy about that.
Bai Ke also had some complicated emotions. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this woman had a strange attraction to him, and he was also reluctant to let such a woman die.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Holy Maiden!" Bai Ke said respectfully.
From the entrance of the Chaotic Burning Sea, one can see that it is filled with poisonous fog, making visibility blurry. Even cultivators at the Mahayana stage with their superior spiritual sense can only barely perceive things within a hundred meters, and cultivators at the Void Return stage can only perceive even less.
In such an environment, many powerful demons roam, and the various dangers are enough to make the chance of survival less than one percent.
"The Holy Maiden and I will be in the middle, Elder Lin will lead the way, and Elder Feng will bring up the rear," Bai Ke said solemnly.
"Yes, young master," Elder Lin replied.
"Don't worry," Elder Feng said.
Zhao Xueqian looked at Bai Ke with some doubt. Although he was a holy son of Tian Ce Palace, the two of them had a strong aura and were at least at the Void Returning Realm level.
They should be of the same generation as the Supreme Elders, so why would they obey a mere Holy Son and be so respectful? It seems they underestimated this Heavenly Strategy Holy Son. Not only is his combat power immense, but his subordinate forces are also extraordinary.
Bai Ke felt her gaze and looked at her. Zhao Xueqian blushed slightly, her heart fluttering. She thought to herself, "What's wrong with me? What nonsense am I thinking? How can I be thinking about these things in such a dangerous place?"
In such a dangerous place, Bai Ke was no longer afraid of exposing any secrets or anything else, and immediately activated his third eye to observe his surroundings.
