The black secret book was called the Four Seas Extraordinary Scripture. It was not the original book, but a handwritten copy.
Moreover, it was crudely preserved, and there were already traces of water and insects.
Flipping to the first page, one could see that there were some fragmented scriptures written in extremely sloppy handwriting. Some of them were even mixed with some local slang. The words were incoherent, and there were many omissions. It was very painful to look at.
In fact, the more he flipped, the more frantic it became. It could make the reader lose their rationality and gradually go crazy.
However, it did not work on Chung Shen-soo.
Moreover, he was already mentally prepared for this.
After all, this was a world influenced by a True God. Naturally, there would be all kinds of pollution.
However, these True Gods and Outer Gods … did not seem to be as kind as him. They even deduced a harmless Heaven Immortal's Great Path and gave it to the natives of the Seven Lights Heaven.
"That's not right … The Heaven Immortal's Great Path is fine at the Mahayana stage. However, at the Dao Fusion stage, no matter which Connate Dao Seed is fused with, there will definitely be negative effects of pollution and madness in the Only Divinity!
"Without the experience of understanding madness and suppressing pollution in the previous stages … I'm afraid those Mahayana Disbanded Immortals will go crazy when faced with the difficulty of Dao Fusion!"
Chung Shen-soo had a flash of inspiration and thought of other aspects.
After a long time, he closed the Four Seas Extraordinary Scripture and pondered.
The Four Seas Extraordinary Scripture was originally a true inheritance of unorthodox techniques. It was all-encompassing and contained more than 300 secret techniques.
However, there were only two techniques in this copy.
One was called the Sea Soul Corporeal Body Technique. It was a technique to transform the body. It required the caster to find the eggs of a Prime Devil Stinger at the bottom of the sea. When the moon was full, the caster would mix the eggs with talisman water and plant them in his own bones.
The Prime Devil Stinger was soft as if it had no bones, but it would be like maggots attached to bones. It would constantly suck the bone marrow and gnaw at the bones, then use it to replace all the bones in the body.
This process was extremely painful. Those who could not bear it would die from the pain.
After mastering it, one could cultivate the Sea Soul Corporeal Body. One could swim in the sea like a fish without having to breathe on water. Moreover, one could gain some ability to control water.
The ship owner, Uncle Hai, had learned this dao technique and was able to dominate the seas for a period of time.
As for Old Manison, he had learned another [Dragon Breeding Magical Art]. It was mainly to swallow a kind of sea fish called the Demonic Lamprey Eel and raise it in the stomach. Using its blood and human flesh to cultivate a symbiotic relationship, he could then control it at will and spit it out to harm people.
Not only could these lampreys grow and shrink, but they could also spit out corrosive venom. Their bodies were also considered sturdy. The only drawback was that after the symbiosis, their lives were linked. If the lampreys died, the cultivator would die as well.
Then, it met Chung Shen-soo.
Even if it was the fake version of the Moon Refinement, the power of an Undead Immortal, it was not something a small fish could resist. Thus, Old Man Manison died unjustly.
"These two pirates are people who have committed countless crimes. They deserve to be captured by the Mysterious Sea Ship. I can be considered to have freed them …"
Chung Shen-soo closed his eyes and pondered.
"This world's Path of Transcendence seems to lean towards evil, horror, and madness … I'm familiar with that."
"Moreover, the price is high."
"After mastering those two dao techniques, there are still many concerns. For example, Old Man Manison has to feed human flesh and blood to the lamprey every once in a while. Otherwise, it will definitely backfire and eat his own organs … As for the ship owner, it is even worse. Not only will he become neither human nor ghost, but he will also not be able to leave the sea. He will never be able to go ashore. In fact … he has to soak in the sea for a certain amount of time every day. Otherwise, he will immediately go crazy …"
However, what attracted Chung Shen-soo more were some descriptions in the Four Seas Extraordinary Scripture.
For example, in this handwritten manuscript, the author had mentioned a supreme secret book many times called the [Notes of Heavenly Mother], also known as the [Heavenly Mother Scripture]!
The author believed that the [Heavenly Mother Scripture] was the true way to become an immortal. Once obtained, one could cultivate to become an immortal!
But what Chung Shen-soo valued was the name of the [Heavenly Mother]!
"This Sea Master cultivates the [Four Seas Extraordinary Scripture] and worships Dagon. According to the legends, Dagon is also a powerful monster in the sea … Previously, when I descended here, Dagon came … So, it is the spawn of the [Heavenly Mother]?"
Chung Shen-soo thought of the few foreign gods who were wandering outside the crystal wall.
Among them, the [Heavenly Mother], because she was the first to fight, had obtained the most information.
"[Heavenly Mother] …"
Chung Shen-soo pondered. "This is the most basic form of address. In fact, if translated, there are many ways to express it … For example, 'Heavenly Mother', 'Mother of the Sea', 'Grandmother of Life', 'Mother of Yin', and so on.
"Thinking of her authority, the kind of sea that can drown a world and is full of life … It seems that the possibility of Dagon being her child is very high.
"And Dagon is not the only monster in the sea. In Fang Lang's memory, there is the most widespread one in Min Hai Commandery — the [Nine-Headed Infant]. It is said that in the west, there are also powerful sea monsters … These marine mythical creatures might come from the same lineage, the same large group, and they are all the spawn of the [Heavenly Mother]?
"Moreover, the [Heavenly Mother] is constantly trying to corrupt and infiltrate this world. For example, the scriptures among the cultivators … Those who cultivate the [Four Seas Extraordinary Scripture] will most likely be summoned by Dagon, and those who cultivate the [Heavenly Mother Scripture] are even more dangerous. They can die at any time, and even if they survive, they will become fanatics of the [Heavenly Mother]!
"I feel that the situation of the Ouroboros of Time and the Gate Master isn't too good, and they probably can't spare much strength. None of them came to help me … Or, is this a tacit understanding with me, and they want me to cause trouble myself?"
Chung Shen-soo stood up. "In short … the sea is too dangerous. Let's go ashore as soon as possible."
He walked out of the captain's cabin and saw Ah'Bao bouncing over. "Ship Owner!"
"What did you call me?"
Chung Shen-soo suddenly heard the heartbeat of the Mysterious Sea Ship. This ship was like a huge living creature, and at this moment, it was even trying to tamper with his cognition, making him think that he was the ship's owner.
Presumably, the two pirates from before had suffered the same fate.
However, Chung Shen-soo's status was high enough, and this level of cognitive confusion was useless. Even the [Heavenly Mother] might not be able to do it.
He smiled and accepted this title. After all, there was indeed something he could use. "Go tell the sailors that we will change course and go to the nearest port!"
"Okay!"
Po responded with a silvery voice, then hopped away again.
Looking at her pink and cute appearance, it was impossible to tell that she was a ghost.
Chung Shen-soo looked at this scene and could not help but sigh.
