Chapter 199 The Sea Cannot Stop
That night, Fenghua rushed back from the imperial capital of Fengling Dynasty, and Hua Jianyue once again gathered all the elders together to discuss matters.
Fenghua's face was not in a good mood. He was ridiculed by the new monarch when he went to Fengling Dynasty. Originally, he and the current monarch were competing for the throne.
At that time, Fenghua succeeded in the competition, but because of his arrogance, he offended Ning Ruoxi, and the throne was dismissed, and the throne fell into the hands of that competitor again.
"Venerable Elder, what do people in the imperial capital say?" Hanami Yue was eager to know the situation in the Fengling Dynasty.
But Fenghua just shook his head and said, "Wang Chao hasn't found out what exactly happened to this flood."
"My grandfather personally conducted an investigation there. Not only the Fengling Dynasty, but also the coast of the Yewu Dynasty has been flooded. The sea water has been rising. If we don't find a way to contain it, maybe... the entire southern region will be submerged."
"Hiss..." Everyone couldn't help but gasp. If the entire Southern Region was flooded, where would everyone in the Southern Region go?
It is easy for cultivators, as they can go to the other three regions or Zhongzhou, but what about mortals?
Furthermore, some major forces in the Southern Territory, such as the Fengling Dynasty, would definitely not be happy if the monarch of the Fengling Dynasty abandoned everything in the Southern Territory!
If he went to the other three regions or Zhongzhou, who would recognize him as the king?
The same is true for the Xiandao Sect. The sect’s foundation is here, and they really don’t want to leave unless it is absolutely necessary.
This disaster is not only aimed at the human race, but also has a huge impact on the monsters on land. Some low-level monsters are likely to be drowned.
Moreover, as the sea level rises, there is a possibility that sea beasts will invade the land, which is really troublesome.
"Junior Brother Nan, you personally lead people to the east to investigate the situation. Junior Sister Xia, you manage the disciples in the sect well and don't let them spread this matter. With so many mortals migrating outside the sect, this matter probably can't be concealed." Hua Jianyue said to Nan Chengwen and Xia Ran.
The two of them looked serious and immediately went to do as Hanamiyue instructed.
The disciples in the sect did hear some rumors that there was a flood coming in the east, but the disciples did not take it seriously. How could a flood affect the cultivators? Can't it? Wouldn't it be better to just fly with a sword?
No matter how bad the situation is, we still have the elders and the sect leader here. They will definitely be able to stop the harm caused by the flood.
However, some disciples also discovered clues. The flood came from the coast of the Southern Region. The coast of the Southern Region is so far away from the Xiandao Sect, but the flood could still come here, so it must be extraordinary.
…….
In late spring and early summer, birds fly in a line across the sky. Although it is a natural scene, it foreshadows a huge crisis.
Nan Chengwen returned after finishing his investigation in the East. After a month's work, he found nothing, or rather, he had no idea where to start.
While there was still some time for the sea water to reach Xiandao Sect, Nan Chengwen rushed back to Xiandao Sect, wanting Hanamiyue to come up with a response plan as soon as possible.
When enemies come, we must fight them with soldiers; when water comes, we must block it with earth. The only way Hanami Yue could think of was to cast a spell to resist the attack of the sea water.
However, it is said that the first batch of monks who had defended their sect and cast spells to resist the sea water have already evacuated. Their sect was completely submerged by the sea water, and casting spells to resist only slowed down their departure.
More importantly, when they cast spells to resist the sea water, sea beasts attacked their sect. Although the sea water is not scary, the sea beasts hidden in it must be taken seriously.
"Master, have you told Elder Ning about this?" Fenghua couldn't help but ask Hua Jianyue.
Hanami Yue shook her head, "Not yet."
Hua Jianyue didn't intend to disturb Ning Ruoxi, as Ning Ruoxi stayed in seclusion in the cave every day.
During this period of time, Ning Ruoxi has been relying on the power of incense to sprint to the peak of tribulation. It can be said that she is very close, but the power of incense is still a little thin.
"Let's talk to Elder Ning! If the seawater comes, we can coordinate as a whole and come up with a response plan."
Fenghua’s meaning was very simple, which was to prepare for the worst and move away.
Casting spells to resist the sea water is not a foolproof or long-term solution.
“Yeah, I understand!”
After the meeting, Hua Jianyue found Ning Ruoxi and told her about the flood, but Ning Ruoxi didn't take it seriously.
"Senior Brother, you should have told me about this earlier! Isn't it just a flood? I know a sea beast that can control water. I can ask him to help recede the sea water." Ning Ruoxi didn't think this was a big deal. She remembered that Qing Yan could control water.
"Really? That's great!" Hanami Yuetsu's face showed joy. If she had known it was so simple, why would she worry about it?
"Junior Sister Ning, to be honest, the sect really can't do without you!"
Ning Ruoxi shook her head, "Brother, you are too kind."
"But Senior Brother just said that the seawater will reach Xiandao Sect in less than a month. Does that mean that a large area of land in the east has been submerged by the sea?"
"Yes! Many people died."
"Then there is no time to lose. I will set out to find the sea beasts for help. If there is anything in the sect, you can ask Fenghua to do it, brother." Ning Ruoxi said hello to Hua Jianyue, then left the sect and headed towards the Sea Beast Dynasty.
Passing through the eastern part of the Southern Region, there was nothing but sea water, with no land in sight.
Lin Shuang exclaimed: "I never thought there would be a flood. Such a large-scale flood doesn't seem like something a sea beast can do!"
Ning Ruoxi also agreed with Lin Shuang's words. Looking at the scope of the flooded land, it was not something that could be done by just one sea beast. It was possible that it was done by multiple sea beasts working together.
Of course, not all sea beasts have the ability to control water.
Ning Ruoxi spent three days rushing to the Sea Beast Dynasty to seek Qing Yan's help. Qing Yan immediately followed Ning Ruoxi to the eastern part of the Southern Region.
But after seeing the area submerged by sea water, Qing Yan fell silent.
"Senior Qingyan, what's wrong?" Ning Ruoxi asked Qingyan.
Qing Yan explained, "Ning Ruoxi, the range of this water control is too large. Even all the ninth-level sea beasts in the Sea Beast Dynasty that can control water cannot flood such a large area."
"So Senior Qing Yan means this wasn't done by a sea beast?"
"It might be a sea beast! But that would require many ninth-level sea beasts to control the water at the same time."
Qing Yan didn't know what the reason was, "I'll try to control the water first to see if I can make it go away."
"good!"
Qing Yan came to the coastline and planned to try out the sea water in an area first. He began to use the water control technique, but unexpectedly found that the sea water in this area was not under his control at all.
So he changed to another area, and repeated the process over and over again with the same result.
"Senior Qingyan, what's wrong?" Ning Ruoxi could see that something was wrong with Qingyan.
Qing Yan said with an unpleasant expression: "My water control technique...is ineffective."
