Chapter 457: Sea Monster
The giant white jade ship is an integral structure, thirty feet long. It was dug out by An Xianjing from a secret realm and is a magical weapon that is as valuable as the Wan Zi Qi.
Kudi looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an average build and appearance. He didn't have the stunning looks of Jiang Ning or Zuoqiu Hongting. But he seemed more real, as if he was just like ordinary people.
Her white Buddhist robe was covered with the Amitabha Sutra and swayed in the wind.
Li Weiyi grabbed Yu'er's wrist, controlled the wind, crossed the sea, and landed steadily on the deck.
His uneasy mood has calmed down.
It wasn't that he was afraid of what An Xianjing would do to him, but he was worried that Yu'er's identity would be exposed. In the situation just now, if he deliberately hid Yu'er, it would only make her more obvious.
"Master Ku, long time no see, you really haven't changed at all."
Li Weiyi was exhausted, his face still stained with the fine sand of the white desert, but he smiled and pretended to be relaxed and natural, clasping his hands together in a bow.
Yu'er followed suit and bowed with her hands together.
Ku Di did not expect that the Jiuli Shenyinren, who was already a world-renowned figure, would be so polite. He was confused for a moment, and it seemed that he, a monk, was not in a peaceful and calm state of mind.
"Come in!"
An Xianjing's cold and melancholy voice came from inside the cabin door.
On the huge white jade ship, it seemed that only An Xianjing and Kudi were on board, with no other figures to be seen.
"Please help look after my disciple. She is still young. Just let me handle everything."
Li Weiyi took the opportunity to hand Yu'er over to Kudi to prevent her from having close contact with An Xianjing.
Ku Di didn't know how the Master would deal with this traitor. But even she wouldn't argue with a little girl, let alone the Master?
Li Weiyi restrained his smile, pushed the door and walked into the spacious cabin lobby. Then, through the screen, he saw An Xianjing standing by the window.
The ship's window is a horizontal window that is ten feet wide.
The sea breeze is slightly salty and the view is broad.
The cabin door ten steps away closed automatically.
"You don't have any awe or fear at all. Who allowed you to go behind the screen?" An Xianjing turned her head slightly and glanced at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi stood beside the screen, observing An Xianjing's face, his posture straight. "Palace Master An treats Weiyi like his own son or nephew, so why should I be afraid? I only respect Palace Master An, not fear him."
An Xianjing's appearance changes every day, as appearance reflects the heart.
When you are in a good mood, your face will be beautiful and pretty.
You can tell when you are in a bad mood by looking at your face.
An Xianjing looked about the same age as Kudi today. She had pure fairy-like skin and a beautiful face. Her hair was shiny and her red lips looked quite bright, indicating that she was in a good mood.
But those eyes, which had seen all the vicissitudes of life, concealed a deep sense of worry.
"Do you think you can escape today by saying this?" An Xianjing had red lips and white teeth, and a frost in her eyes.
Li Weiyi wasn't frightened. His aura was even stronger than An Xianjing, who was half a head shorter than him. "Lord An, you'll kill me if you don't let me get on board. Are the four little guys okay?"
"Are you reminding me that you helped me grow golden rice? I have already repaid this favor!" An Xianjing looked out the window.
The giant white jade ship set sail and headed towards the deep sea.
Li Weiyi asked, "Has Palace Master An already achieved transcendence?"
"I have already repaid this favor!" An Xianjing said.
"Palace Master An misunderstood... whatever."
Li Weiyi pondered over it again and again before saying, "I know full well that what I did in Lingxiao City will inevitably lead to Palace Master An being punished by the Divine Cult. I believe I have done it with a clear conscience. If I had the choice ten thousand times, I would still do it. The only person I feel guilty about is Palace Master An. I should not betray Palace Master An's trust and care."
An Xianjing fell into a long silence, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The huge white jade ship was moving at an extremely fast speed and the land was no longer visible.
After a while, An Xianjing came out of her inner world, stared at Li Weiyi coldly, walked to the chair next to the screen and sat down, picked up the Buddhist beads on the table and swung them: "You still have some conscience, knowing that you have caused me so much trouble."
There was no trace of condescension in the tone, and it didn't seem like it came from the mouth of a great immortal.
Li Weiyi could tell that her anger had mostly subsided, and he knew that An Xianjing didn't really hate him and Yao Qingxuan. She just had the resentment in her heart that any woman would have after being betrayed, and she had no way to relieve it.
Li Weiyi really felt guilty.
No matter how bad the Dao Sect was, An Xianjing was absolutely sincere to him and Yao Qingxuan. She treated him better than her own disciple Qiongji Daozi.
Li Weiyi's arrogance faded, and he quickly stepped forward, offering her a flattering massage. "Each person has their own choices, and as a human, I must make my own. My master and I cannot accept the collapse of Lingxiao City and the spread of Yin corpse rice cultivation across the world. But our friendship with Palace Master An is another matter."
An Xianjing frowned slightly when a young man touched her body, but soon she went from the initial rejection to gradually adapting to this strange and fresh feeling.
If it were anyone else who was so smooth-talking and fawning, she would definitely be disgusted and would slap him to death.
But there was a certain sincerity in Li Weiyi, which made her believe that even if he achieved great success in the future, he would definitely remember their friendship and not be ungrateful.
He was able to stand up when the situation was critical, without fear of death or the collapse of the sky.
How could such a strong man deliberately try to please and serve her just because he was afraid of being killed by her?
She believed that she only respected Li Weiyi and no longer feared him!
"Don't underestimate the fierce battle between humans and rice people, which resulted in countless casualties on both sides. But the situation has changed, and we may have to cooperate with each other in the future," An Xianjing said meaningfully.
Li Weiyi asked, "Because the Book of Shining Stars can dispel the darkness of the realm of the dead?"
An Xianjing nodded gently. "When Lingxiao Habitat only had twenty-eight states, everyone would fight tooth and nail for limited resources. But if it became thirty-seven states, fifty-nine states, or even restored to its former three hundred states, everyone could shake hands and make peace, putting aside their hatred and conflicts."
Li Weiyi asked, "Why didn't the Rice Sect do this before?"
"Because Lord Lan died. Because Prince Wu returned. Because Inamiya participated in this benefit. Everything has become different!" An Xianjing said.
Li Weiyi pressed on, "Is Wu Tianzi still alive?"
An Xianjing shook her head slightly. "I don't know! She headed west and disappeared into the Far West Ashes. But I don't think she's dead, otherwise the Western Demon Clan would have marched eastward and razed Lingxiao's habitat."
"You must know that in the battle of Lingxiao City, apart from Lord Lan, the Western demon tribe suffered the heaviest losses. They will not give up."
Li Weiyi nodded secretly, his worries temporarily put aside, and asked, "I came all the way from Yuzhou and saw the Rice Cult members busy cultivating rice fields on the decaying land. Isn't it a bit too hasty?"
The worry in An Xianjing's eyes deepened. "With your current level of cultivation, it's pointless to delve into this matter. I'm looking for you because of another extremely important matter."
"What is your relationship with that woman from the Jiang family?"
Li Weiyi stopped and asked, "Why did Palace Master An mention this?"
"Didn't Yang Qingxi tell you?" An Xianjing said.
Li Weiyi really didn't want to lie, but in the end he said, "No."
"If she hadn't told you, you wouldn't have reacted so calmly." An Xianjing added, "Everyone has their own way of survival. Yang Qingxi's way of survival lies in knowing who to lie to and who to be sincere to."
Li Weiyi asked, "Is she okay?"
"Which one are you referring to?" An Xianjing asked.
Li Weiyi said, "Since Palace Master An praised Yang Qingxi for having her own way of survival, it shows that she has returned to the Divine Cult and is living well. I'm asking about Jiang Ning."
"Not very good." An Xianjing said.
Li Weiyi asked, "What do you mean by not very good?"
An Xianjing said, "What she, Daogong, and the Jiang family are doing worries me greatly. If you and her truly have the affection you so deliberately displayed in Lingxiao City, perhaps it will be able to play a role in the future. But right now, your cultivation and strength are far from enough."
"Youyi, you have great talent, a talent I haven't seen in any other young person. You must grow up and achieve transcendence, even becoming a Martial Arts Emperor."
Li Weiyi didn't understand what An Xianjing was saying, and knew she wouldn't tell the truth: "I want to see her."
An Xianjing said, "You will meet! But even if you do, it won't make any sense."
…
Day 3.
The huge white jade ship sails in the deep sea.
The sea water is dark, and the waves rise and fall for several meters, giving people a huge sense of terror.
Sailing in such waters, even a Dao Seed Realm cultivator would feel insignificant and vulnerable. The might of heaven and earth was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.
Li Weiyi was on the deck, practicing the Twelve Free-Hand Strategy of Chan Sect.
The light gauze of the escort ship's formation blocked the hurricane outside.
After learning about Jiang Ning's situation from An Xianjing, he has been extremely depressed for the past three days.
Yu'er and An Xianjing had come into contact, but An Xianjing didn't see the clues, nor did she deliberately explore the foundation of her talent. She was also trapped in her own anxious heart.
“Ouch!”
From the bottom of the sea, horrifying roars were heard one after another.
The whole sea was shaking.
Li Weiyi stopped practicing, looking nervous, and gathered together with Yu'er and Kudi.
Just by the sound, one could tell that what they encountered was no ordinary monster. The dangers of the East China Sea were no mere talk.
Beneath the sea, a black shadow appeared, countless times larger than the giant white jade ship, swimming past at a rapid speed.
“Crash!”
A few miles away, a horn of a body as thick as a mountain was revealed, covered with black scales.
The splashes of water it stirred up were like heavy rain, sprinkling towards the ships.
An Xianjing moved to the top of the ship, and circles of Buddha light bloomed from her body. Dense scriptures burst out, covering the boiling sea below: "Get out!"
She threw the rosary in her hand, causing a large area of the sea to cave in like a bowl, illuminating the dark water into gold.
A scream came from the bottom of the sea.
The unknown huge monster fled away at a high speed.
Another half day passed.
Far away from the bottomless ancient sea.
The sky cleared up, the sea was as smooth as a blue mirror, and flocks of seabirds could be seen.
An Xianjing came to the side of the ship and stood beside Li Weiyi: "Three hundred miles west of here is Yuelong Island. I will take you there!"
On the day of boarding the ship, An Xianjing asked Li Weiyi where he was going.
Li Weiyi was surprised and asked, "Palace Master An couldn't possibly be sending me off on purpose, right?"
"What are you dreaming about? I just happened to be on the way. For this grand event of excavating the ancient immortal dragon skeleton, you young people have your own gathering place. We at this level also have our own place for discussion and gathering. Different realms of cultivation expose us to different worlds and have completely different interests."
