Chapter 16: The Vast Ocean (Part 2) Is this the entrance to the Vast Ocean Secret Realm? ...
Chi Wanyin was riding on a flying boat. This was her first time riding on one for such a long time, probably more than five or six days.
Outside the window is an endless sea of clouds, and the flying boat is sailing above the sea of clouds.
Chi Wanyin knew that apart from her, there were three other cultivators, plus the team leader Song Qingtang, Yantian Sect sent five disciples this time.
However, the three disciples are still traveling outside and did not take the flying boat this time. They just agreed to meet in a town near the Vast Sea Secret Realm.
When she had nothing to do on the flying boat, Chi Wanyin would practice with the peach wood sword. This peach wood sword was very compatible with the martial arts she practiced, and was much more convenient to use than ordinary iron.
When Song Qingtang came out and saw her practicing sword, he was not surprised and just said, "Junior sister, we may reach that mortal town in half a day."
Chi Wanyin paused while practicing swordplay, and she put away the peach wood sword. "Yes, but I don't know where the entrance to this secret realm is."
Song Qingtang said in a calm tone, "The entrance to this secret realm is hard to find, but the same is true for cultivators from other sects." The implication was that everyone was starting from the same starting line.
Sure enough, after half a day, the flying boat slowly descended and landed not far from the mortal town.
After walking for many days, the two decided to take a short break in the city and entered.
The city is paved with blue bricks, and lush locust trees are planted along the roads. Although it is not as prosperous as the area at the foot of Yantianzong Mountain, it is still a lively scene.
Chi Wanyin specially picked a tavern and sat with Song Qingtang in a private room by the window on the second floor. "I'm afraid there will be many cultivators coming to this city."
Song Qingtang was about to speak when he heard a commotion downstairs, which seemed to be getting more intense.
Chi Wanyin was waiting for the food to be served, feeling rather bored, so she said to Song Qingtang, "Senior Sister, I'll go take a look."
Song Qingtang nodded and warned, "Be careful."
Chi Wanyin went downstairs and saw two men surrounding the owner of the restaurant. "You said there are no seats in the private rooms? We are from the Taichu Sect. Why don't we just let those mortals give up a room?"
The shopkeeper was wiping his sweat constantly. After all, he couldn't afford to offend the guests upstairs and these people who looked like monks. He was speechless.
But Chi Wanyin laughed, "So you're from the Taichu Sect. What a great honor."
The two monks were attracted by the laughter and raised their eyebrows when they saw her attire. "Are you from the Yantian Sect?"
The Yantian Sect and the Taichu Sect are far apart from each other. Although they have no hatred, they are not close either.
Chi Wanyin didn't want to waste time talking to them. When she was a demon cultivator in her previous life, she had seen many cases of people relying on their status as cultivators from righteous sects to wantonly oppress mortals.
The peach wood sword was already unsheathed, and her figure was as swift as lightning. The two male cultivators did not expect that she would suddenly attack without any mercy. One of them could not dodge in time, and the edge of the peach wood sword had already scratched his cheek, leaving a deep bloody mark, almost revealing the bone.
Blood flowed down his cheek. The cultivator quickly covered the wound and used his spiritual energy to heal it, cursing, "Yantian Sect is the leading righteous sect in Nanzhou. How could you, a witch, be so vicious?"
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a long whip from his waist. However, the whip did not go directly towards Chi Wanyin. Seeing that it was about to fall on the mortal beside him, Chi Wanyin immediately turned around and blocked it with a peach wood sword.
"Is this how the Taichu Sect acts, harming innocent people?" Chi Wanyin's face remained calm as she retorted, but a cold light flashed in her eyes. Since her rebirth, she rarely had such murderous intent.
The mortal was rescued by her and was still in shock, and was about to express his gratitude.
But Song Qingtang had already come down from the private room on the second floor. "Junior sister, what happened?"
The monk had excellent eyesight and hearing. In fact, she naturally knew the whole story, but she did it on purpose at this moment.
Although the two male cultivators did not know Chi Wanyin, they knew Song Qingtang. The reason was that the deeds of this senior sister of Yantian Sect had spread far and wide.
The older of the two immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Fellow Daoist Song. I didn't realize this cultivator was your junior sister."
Song Qingtang raised her eyebrows, "Is that so?" As she said this, she looked at Chi Wanyin.
"They rely on their status as cultivators to wantonly oppress mortals, and they call me a witch, but they don't know who is more rampant than the evil demons." Chi Wanyin just crossed her arms and looked at the two of them coldly.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Seeing this, the mortal who was saved by Chi Wanyin hesitated for a moment before kneeling down and saying, "Master Immortal, these two just took advantage of the situation to bully the shopkeeper and almost hurt me. Fortunately, this female fairy came to my rescue."
Song Qingtang still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes revealed a coldness. "Although I can't say that I'm familiar with the Yantian Sect and the Taichu Sect, I can still say a few words in front of your leader."
Before he finished speaking, a piece of white silk stretched out from the sky, and a female cultivator stepped on the white silk and came flying.
The female cultivator's clothes were no different from those of the two who claimed to be from the Taichu Sect, but the embroidery was more delicate.
She first glanced at the two male cultivators and said, "What a great show of authority! What did the Sect Leader say before they left?"
When the two male cultivators saw her, they naturally lost their arrogance. They lowered their heads and dared not say anything, but nodded in agreement.
The female cultivator looked at Chi Wanyin and Song Qingtang, "My two fellow Daoists from the Yantian Sect, I am Lu Qingyi from the Taichu Sect. I am aware of the matter. It is indeed my sect's fault. I will send a letter to the Sect Master later, and the Sect Master will decide on the punishment."
When Chi Wanyin first heard the name, she was startled. Lu Qingyi...
Then she continued, "The Taichu Sect will compensate for the damage caused here as usual, so I won't disturb the two fellow Taoists from the Yantian Sect."
Chi Wanyin looked at Lu Qingyi's departing back. In her previous life, she didn't have a deep impression of Taichu Sect. She just heard by chance that the eldest senior sister of Taichu Sect had passed away.
"Junior sister, Mingting has sent me a message, let's go." Song Qingtang's voice brought her back to her senses.
*
When the two arrived at the agreed location, Mingting, whom Song Qingtang had mentioned, had not yet appeared. Looking at the endless sea, Chi Wanyin thought of Lu Qingyi whom she met in the restaurant.
"Senior Sister, what do you think of Lu Qingyi?" she couldn't help but ask.
Song Qingtang shook his head. "I'm not very familiar with her. The relationship between Yantian Sect and Taichu Sect is not very close. If it weren't for their leaders doing this for Master's sake, perhaps we wouldn't even have this kind of relationship."
Chi Wanyin always felt that a female cultivator like Lu Qingyi would not die just after undergoing the tribulation as usual. Perhaps something strange happened in her previous life.
Seeing her gazing at the sea in silence, Song Qingtang asked, "Junior sister, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
As soon as he said that, a small dot appeared on the sea surface, gradually coming closer from far away. Then he could hear the sound of roaring waves. It turned out that a ship was breaking through the waves.
Two female cultivators stood on the dragon-headed boat. One of them, with a rosy face and rosy cheeks, jumped off the boat first. She was also wearing the Yantian Sect's attire and landed on the sand not far away. "It's a good thing there's a boat willing to take us a ride."
When she turned around, she threw a sea-blue jewel to the people on the boat, who caught it. Another female cultivator had just gotten off the boat. After both of them got off, the boat sailed away on its own.
Chi Wanyin just watched the scene silently. The female cultivator approached her first and asked, "Is this the new junior sister?"
Another female cultivator said, "Minglang, don't be rude."
Chi Wanyin saw that the female cultivator who spoke was a little older, and remembered what Song Qingtang said, so she guessed that she was Ming Ting. As for Ming Lang, considering their similar faces, it was not difficult to guess that they were sisters.
Although Ming Lang was scolded by his sister, he still looked at Chi Wanyin with curiosity. Song Qingtang spoke again, "Let's talk about the past later. The entrance to the Vast Sea Secret Realm may be here."
The two of them were obviously very convinced of Song Qingtang. As soon as she spoke, Minglang no longer looked noisy, but instead looked serious.
Ming Lang took out an exquisite compass and injected spiritual energy into it. The compass needle turned and pointed to a sea surface.
Song Qingtang summoned the Sword of Flowing Water and swung it towards the sea. In an instant, the sea surface was frozen. A group of people stood on the ice and looked down from the transparent ice surface. The tentacles underneath were faintly visible.
It seems that if you want to enter the secret realm of the vast sea, you must first defeat the monster under the sea.
All four of them took water-repellent pills and just as they dived into the sea, the monster's true appearance was revealed. It was an almost gorgeous or weird purple color, and its entire body was this color.
But what is even more surprising is that it has ten bodies with one head, and it waves its tentacles to catch food in the sea.
Song Qingtang frowned and whispered to everyone, "This monster looks like the Heluo fish I've seen in ancient books, with one head and ten bodies."
"No matter what it is, let's defeat it first." Minglang responded with a cheerful tone and the action of summoning her double swords.
Minglang came forward with a knife, and Mingting followed her although he had no choice.
Chi Wanyin and Song Qingtang also summoned their respective weapons. The water-repellent pill had a limited time to last, so it seemed better to end the battle quickly.
Minglang's double knives first pierced into the eyes of the Heluo fish. It was injured, but it became enraged. Ink spurted out of its mouthparts, staining the surrounding sea water. Then, taking advantage of this gap, the Heluo fish's tentacles wrapped around Minglang. A moment later, the tentacles were cut off by Chi Wanyin's peach wood sword.
"Thank you, Junior Sister." Ming Lang did not forget to thank Chi Wanyin.
However, the broken tentacles quickly recovered, and ten tentacles attacked everyone. Chi Wanyin swung his sword and cut them off several times, and found that the recovery speed seemed to be slower each time.
Chi Wanyin looked at Song Qingtang, and Song Qingtang naturally understood. He condensed cold air with the Sword of Passing Water and froze all ten tentacles of the Heluo fish. The remaining four people cut off the tentacles. Sure enough, this time the tentacles did not recover, and the blood dyed the small sea area red.
At this time, He Luoyu was already at the end of his strength, and the four men worked together to chop the head into two halves.
The moment He Luoyu died completely, the door to the secret realm of the vast sea finally opened.
The five people floated to the surface of the sea. There was a whirlpool in the center, and it was extremely deep below.
"Is this the entrance to the secret realm of the vast sea?" Ming Lang's tone was a little excited.
"It should be." Ming Ting was a little uncertain.
In her previous life, she had no memories related to this secret realm. Looking at the deep entrance, Chi Wanyin felt a little palpitated for some reason.
But she was not the kind of person who would retreat. The four of them exchanged glances and swam towards the depths of the whirlpool together.
