Chapter 105 The Heavenly Barrier Sect Jade Token
At the same time, the slender figure running towards the cabin stumbled, his hand reaching for the ground missed its mark, and he was suddenly thrown high into the air like a kite with its string taut, falling overboard.
"Grandma!" Guan Wangzhen ripped the cable off the mast with one hand and threw it at Ji Mingran.
Ji Mingran was tossed around like a leaf by the gale. In his chaotic vision, he vaguely saw a rope flying toward him. Suppressing his exhaustion, he reached out and caught it, then tied it tightly around his waist. With all his might, he turned to the side.
In a single breath, he flipped more than ten times against the wind, lowered his center of gravity, and landed on one knee on the third-floor roof of the ship.
The wind and rain howled and lashed her face, but standing on high ground, she could see the situation clearly even through the rain.
In an instant, dozens of giant pillars pierced through the dark sky and the black sea, creating one after another enormous, bottomless whirlpool in the sky and the sea.
It was a tornado. Dozens of tornadoes swept across everything with devastating force, and countless sea monsters and demons fled with mournful cries, only to be torn to pieces in an instant.
Blood and flesh dyed the tornado a deep red, and the giant tornado pillar that stretched from heaven to earth was ferocious, bloody, and terrifying.
The creature that had just collided with the ship was a colossal sea monster fleeing in panic. It had no time to care what it had hit and simply sped away in the direction they had come from.
Ji Mingran looked ahead and saw the dark horizon between the sky and the sea growing ever thicker as the tornado continued to tear at them.
The wind kept blowing in, turning his eyes bloodshot. Ji Mingran didn't blink, staring intently at that spot.
They seemed to have reached the edge of the ocean, where the so-called black line where the sky meets the sea was a chasm that severed their path. The chasm was neat and endless at both ends, as if it were a strike from beyond the heavens, cleanly cutting the sea in two.
The dark, thick seawater was surging and pouring into it relentlessly.
The chasm is a chasm, a shocking sight.
If it weren't for the massive vortexes created by those dozens of tornadoes maintaining a delicate balance, all creatures near this sea area would have been swept into the chasm and perished without ever seeing the light of day again.
Only one word popped into Ji Mingran's mind: abyss.
The demon on the tugboat screamed shrilly as it tried to retreat, but it seemed to be held back by something, and could only move forward while screaming and whimpering.
Ji Mingran's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed in the direction the demon had gone; the Spirit Stone was right ahead.
Shen Qingluo had already wielded her sword and slashed down the demonic beast that was rushing towards her like a blind fly.
Shi Jinle then froze the flying limbs of the demon beast and scraped them away.
The golden light instantly spread throughout the entire ship, and in the next instant, Ji Mingran appeared on the deck from the third floor.
The moment my feet touched the deck, I felt a wave of dizziness.
The ship continued to rise and fall dramatically with the wind and waves, swaying left and right. Ji Mingran used his waist and abdomen to stabilize his body and stand firmly on the deck.
Her gaze returned to the cabin; a fierce battle was about to begin, and she desperately needed to replenish her energy.
She was about to go directly into the cabin when the thought of the teleportation array came to mind. However, the strange scene that suddenly appeared forced her to temporarily interrupt the array.
The white jade pendant tied to his waist was floating in front of him.
Ji Mingran's gaze shifted accordingly.
The light flowed and grew brighter, with four beams of light projecting from different directions and converging above the deck, revealing the scenery of five peaks and two rivers depicted on the sect's jade tablet.
Ji Mingran heard Zhu Shibai murmur absentmindedly, "This..."
Turning her head and looking around, she saw that the sect jade tokens attached to the four members of Dingsheng Sect, including herself, were all floating vertically in front of their faces. It was the light emitted by these four sect jade tokens that converged and projected a bird's-eye view of the sect.
“Over there!” Guan Wangzhen shouted from above.
He held onto the mast with one hand, and pointed his other hand toward the tornado.
A tornado piercing the sky and the sea, leading downwards to an endless vortex on the seabed, is now shimmering with white light, revealing the magnificent scenery of the five peaks and two rivers of the Dingsheng Sect.
"It has to be tried, I'll go." The voice, as cold as a spring, was resolute and unwavering. In the next instant, the fiery red figure rushed forward. The ant-like figure moved against the current with fearless force, taking the initiative to meet the enemy, and leaped into the whirlpool on the sea surface.
"It's so dangerous, why bother fighting for first place! It should be me..." Guan Wangzhen said anxiously, but before he could finish, another panoramic image of the Dingsheng Sect appeared opposite the giant vortex that had just shown a bird's-eye view of the Dingsheng Sect.
"We always go first. Now that she's gone, it's my turn!" Guan Wangzhen roared, leaping forward. The talisman, as tall as a person, carried him through the clouds in an instant and plunged into the vortex in the air.
"It's just a jackpot, are you all out of your minds?" Shi Jinle, who had taken Shen Qingluo's place and was circling the ship to drive away the monsters, shouted upon seeing this.
Zhu Shibai released his grip on the helm, his calm voice piercing through the storm, "I also thank you all for helping my sect guard the ship. If we return safely, the prizes we sought on this journey will be yours to choose from."
"What are you going to do?" Shi Jinle exclaimed in shock. "The projection vortex is gone, isn't it?"
The vortex that had just appeared as the projection of the Dingsheng Sect had vanished as Shen Qingluo and Guan Wangzhen jumped in.
"Brother Zhu, you're not going there, are you?! Good heavens!"
A hundred miles away from the side of the ship's stern, another giant tornado stood in the seabed vortex, with five peaks and two rivers and cloud patterns rising up once again.
"Yes." Zhu Shibai's expression was firm, his mind made up.
"What kind of bewitching drugs has the Dingsheng Sect given you!" Swallowing back his words of advice, Shi Jinle simply said, "I don't need your prizes. I didn't come up here for that. Leave this to me, and you all go and come back quickly!"
“Me too!” Ji Xingyang’s voice came from the stern of the ship.
"We've already made our money! Don't worry, with our spirit boat here, your ships will be fine!" Fu Daolan patted his chest and assured them.
Shao Qing shouted, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, please be careful!"
The words of the crowd were still drifting in the wind and rain when the cultivator in the sky-blue robe disappeared into the massive, dark vortex.
The corresponding vortex disintegrated instantly.
In the blink of an eye, three of the four members of the Dingsheng Sect rushed toward the terrifying celestial phenomenon as if facing certain death.
The sect projection on the deck blurred and almost disappeared as the three people left.
However, the sect's jade tablet floating in front of him did not fall back down.
As if sensing something, Ji Mingran turned his gaze to the direction the ship had tilted, dozens of meters away.
The dark waves rose and fell, and a small pattern of five peaks and two rivers appeared on them, like a seal gently pressed onto the sea. The pattern was faint and difficult to see with the naked eye if it were not for the dim green light it emitted.
Ji Mingran knew that this was not the time to be reckless; she was short of energy and desperately needed to replenish it.
The array patterns of the teleportation array have appeared beneath our feet.
The cabin was within reach; with just a thought, she could find Yu Tianxing, obtain food supplies, and then, like her fellow disciples, follow the directions indicated by the sect's jade tablet to search for the Spirit Stone.
Ji Mingran glanced back at the door leading to the cabin. The wooden door was half-closed, and the gap was dark and gloomy. She wouldn't have been able to see the inside of the cabin passageway from the outside.
But she seemed to see a shadow flash by in the distance through the crack in the wooden door, and that figure seemed to be rushing towards her.
Ji Mingran's gaze then drifted to the small vortex that was emitting a clear, emerald-green light.
The light was dimming, and the vortex was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye; it would disappear in no time.
My gaze returned to the wooden door, which was slightly pushed open from the inside. A hand with well-defined knuckles rested on the edge of the door, revealing a corner of a black sleeve.
It's too late. Ji Mingran thought regretfully.
We can only wait until she obtains the Spirit Stone, then come back to eat the steamed buns, and then tell her.
The destination of the teleportation array has been adjusted.
The formation is activated.
Yu Tianxing pushed open the door and saw the girl in the formation glance at him before disappearing with the light of the formation.
The deck was deserted.
Author's note: I never expected that Ranbao wouldn't get to eat his steamed buns for several days [laughing and crying emoji]
