The Sky-Swallowing Whale's eyes lost their color.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Heaven Swallowing Whale's aura of death spread for five hundred kilometers. The sea beasts that rushed over when they heard the news fled in all directions. The seawater that was piled up quickly receded. The Endless Sea regained its former peace.
The sky opened its eyes, and more sunlight fell from its eyes onto the sea. The misty sky caused by the imbalance actually lightened a lot.
Lu Zhou said,
"Clean up."
The pavilion master's performance was over. The Evil Sky Pavilion's members' work had just begun. The crowd, who had been watching with excitement since a long time ago, was filled with fighting spirit. They dashed toward the sea beasts that couldn't escape in time.
Blood rained down on the surface of the sea again.
Since ancient times, the conflict between humans and beasts had been irreconcilable.
No matter what kind of contract the Supreme Martial Artist and the powerful vicious beasts had made, the natural contradiction would always break the balance and destroy the contract under the guidance of time.
There was no such thing as' you can kill me, but I can't kill you 'in this world. It's the same for everyone.
Penglai Island's disciples didn't have high cultivation levels, but they worked harder than anyone else when it came to killing small sea beasts.
They had hatred, they had emotions, and they had enough motivation to give it their all.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion had a clear division of labor. Some of them began to collect the Birth Chart Hearts from the corpses floating on the surface of the sea. They dissected the corpses and extracted the Birth Chart Hearts. Some of them went around to kill the remaining sea beasts, while others were responsible for keeping watch in all directions.
"The Sky-Swallowing Whale isn't easy to deal with!" Kong Wen held a large knife and tried to dissect the Sky-Swallowing Whale's corpse, but he didn't know where to start.
"You're a Qianjie with six Life Diagrams, yet you can't even deal with a corpse?" Yan Zhenluo laughed.
"That's not to the extent of … hehe." Kong Wen brandished his saber and jumped onto the Sky-Devouring Whale's corpse. He began to dissect it frantically in search of the Fate Heart.
He was the only one who could do this.
His understanding of Ferocious Beasts and the Heart of Fate was greater than anyone else present.
There was always such a group of people in the cultivation world. They lived at the bottom of society. They had no vision and no ability, but they were very familiar with the treasures of heaven and earth, fierce beasts, and the heart of fate. They could talk about it clearly and logically, and they knew more details than the owners of these treasures.
Although the Sky-devouring Whale's body was large, Kong Wen's incessant dissection soon caused its chest to be torn to pieces.
Not long after, Kong Wen broke through the Sky-Swallowing Whale and cursed, "F * ck, it's really sturdy …"
After saying that, he dived into the Heaven Devouring Whale's body and dug slowly like a mouse digging a hole. He even had to prevent the seawater from flowing in. Together with his brothers, he squeezed out the seawater and spent a lot of effort to dig out the Heaven Devouring Whale's Fate Heart.
Hu!
Kong Wen flew out of the Sky-Swallowing Whale's body with the incomparably large heart of fate and said, "I got it."
Only then did the other three brothers withdraw their energy and look at Kong Wen in high spirits.
Kong Wen placed the Birth Chart Heart into the seawater to wash it. Then, he walked up to Lu Zhou and said, "Pavilion Master, I didn't expect there to be four Birth Chart Hearts. They're a little too big."
The heavens were fair. Perhaps it was deliberately set up this way. No matter how big a Direbeast's physique was, their Heart of Fate would not be too big. At most, it would be the size of a human's head. It was not easy to embed such a Birth Chart Heart. One would have to enlarge their Life Palace to withstand its size.
After all, the Heaven Devouring Whale was too big. Naturally, its Birth Chart Heart would not be small as well.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Shortly after, the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion finished collecting the Birth Chart Hearts on the surface of the sea.
It took them about two hours.
When Lu Li was done, he reported, "Pavilion Master, we've obtained six Birth Chart Hearts from the Beast Kings, four from the Beast Emperors, 10 from the high-grade Birth Chart Hearts, 42 from the middle-grade, and 155 from the low-grade. The other oceanic beasts don't have any Birth Chart Hearts. There are only about 800 Birth Chart Hearts."
Everyone was shocked when they heard these numbers.
Even Qin Naihe had never seen so many Birth Chart Hearts. Although the Qin Family's Perfected Person, Qin Renyue, was powerful, he was not confident he could defeat the Beast Emperors.
Kong Wen laughed and said, "We're rich! We're rich!"
Yan Zhenluo rolled his eyes at him. "You're right, Emissary Yan. I can't help it … I'm so happy!"
"Emissary Yan, you're right. I can't help it … I'm so happy!" The four Kong brothers were the most excited. They had been at the bottom of society for too long. They had risked their lives to obtain more treasures. He did not even dare to dream of obtaining so many Birth Chart Hearts in the past.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction and said, "Keep them well."
"Understood."
It was comfortable to stay with the Great Perfected Person.
After collecting their spoils, they flew into the skies.
Madam Huang and the Penglai Island disciples, on the other hand, could not bring themselves to feel happy.
With so many deaths and the sinking of Penglai Island, even if they killed all the invading oceanic beasts, they would not be able to recover their losses.
…
Penglai Island.
As the oceanic beasts gradually dispersed and the Heaven Devouring Whale died and sank, the seawater gradually receded until the four islands appeared. Only then did the surface of the sea calm down.
Madam Huang and the Penglai Island disciples looked at the seawater. They shook their heads and sighed.
Lu Zhou said, "As long as there's life, there's hope. Why do you sigh?"
Madam Huang said, "Penglai Island isn't like the Evil Sky Pavilion. It was once a faction in Great Yan. Times have changed, and things have changed. I'm afraid Penglai Island will never be able to regain its former glory. "
"With great power comes great responsibility," Lu Zhou said indifferently.
Madam Huang nodded.
She had been on good terms with the Evil Sky Pavilion all these years, and Penglai Island was doing well. However, the Evil Sky Pavilion was the Evil Sky Pavilion, and Penglai Island was Penglai Island. Relying on someone else was not enough. Now that Penglai Island had sunk, how could she be in the mood to dwell on this?
"In any case, thank you for your help today, Pavilion Master Ji," Madam Huang said.
The remaining Penglai Island disciples bowed at Lu Zhou in unison.
When Yu Zhenghai saw that it was almost time, he reminded Lu Zhou, "Master, it's time to depart."
Lu Zhou gave it some thought and said, "Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Kong Wen, stay here and help Penglai Island."
"Understood."
They did not like fighting. They wanted nothing more than to stay and search for the Birth Chart Hearts. This was more interesting.
"The rest of you, follow me to Chongming Mountain."
"Understood."
…
Chongming Mountain.
The setting sun was as red as blood as it slowly set the mountain.
Si Wuya, Huang Shijie, Li Jingyi, and Jiang Aijian flew at a low altitude above Chongming Mountain.
Jiang Aijian said, "It looks small from afar, but I didn't expect it to be so huge. We've been flying for half a day now, and we don't even have a place to rest."
The sky was about to turn dark.
They wanted to find a place to rest as soon as possible.
When they arrived at Chongming Mountain, they parked the Sky Chariot by the sea and flew toward the mountain.
They did not expect Chongming Mountain to be much larger than they had imagined.
What was even more unexpected was that there was not a single tree on Chongming Mountain. It was barren, bleak, and uninhabited. This was their initial impression of Chongming Mountain.
"What's that?" Jiang Aijian pointed at a black pit nearby. It seemed bottomless.
Si Wuya looked at it and said, "It looks like a dry well."
"Is there such a huge dry well?" Jiang Aijian shook his head. He did not think so.
"Indeed, it doesn't look like a dry well. The geological structure is complicated … Let's continue forward."
After flying for some distance, they saw another black well.
The four of them looked at it curiously. When they saw nothing out of the ordinary, they continued forward.
An hour later, the sun set, and night fell.
"Another black well. How many are there now? The fifth one? "Jiang Aijian said," Don't you think it looks like a hornet's nest? “
Huang Shijie glared at him and said, "You talk too much."
Li Jingyi smiled and said, "It does look like a hornet's nest, but it's not as densely packed … I've counted. We've encountered six black wells so far. We'll encounter one every ten miles. I think there are more of them. "
Si Wuya was puzzled.
Jiang Aijian asked in a hushed tone, "Don't you often dream about this place?"
Si Wuya asked, "Do you often forget what you're dreaming about when you're dreaming?"
Jiang Aijian scratched his head. "I think so."
"That settles it, then."
"…"
At this moment, Huang Shijie blocked their path and said, "Be careful."
The wind was blowing.
The cold wind at night was clearly stronger than during the day. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was amiss about Chongming Mountain.
The wind grew stronger. It stirred up a mist that blurred their vision.
"I think there's something up ahead."
Roughly 100 meters ahead, there was a shadowy object that resembled a mountain. It could be vaguely seen amidst the cold wind and mist.
Si Wuya frowned and flew forward.
The other three quickly followed after him.
When they arrived in front of it, they were all startled by the huge object — it was a skeleton that was hundreds of feet tall.
The skeleton was sitting cross-legged with its palms placed flat on its knees. Its back was straight, and its head was lowered.
"Is that a human?" Jiang Aijian asked in shock.
It was clearly a human skeleton.
"How can a human be so big? This …" Huang Shijie shook his head in confusion.
It was understandable for beasts to be 1,000 feet tall. However, they had never heard of a human being that was 1,000 feet tall.
Si Wuya slowly tapped the ground and stood in front of the skeleton. He studied it carefully.
Indeed, the skeleton belonged to a human!
Si Wuya's expression was grim. He studied the skeleton for a long time before he lowered his gaze. There were many smaller skeletons scattered around the skeleton.
He flew forward for some distance.
When he was about a meter away from the skeleton, he saw a large character on the skeleton's forehead that was covered in dust. It was' Fire '.
Si Wuya waved his hand.
When the dust cleared, the character 'Fire' was imprinted in his mind. It had turned black. Its original color was indistinguishable.
"There's something behind us!"
At some point in time, Jiang Aijian had appeared behind the skeleton. He exclaimed in shock, "A catacomb?!"
Si Wuya said, "A catacomb?"
Li Jingyi corrected him. "It's the same black well as before. However, this one is bigger. It seems like the entrance has been sealed."
Si Wuya flew over and saw a stone door that resembled a coffin.
Jiang Aijian shook his head and said, "This isn't my style … I'm leaving. I want to go home. I'm not married yet."
"…"
Si Wuya ignored him. He walked up and studied the words on the coffin.
"Three Qi Heaven of the south, Fire Official's Mansion, Crimson Emperor's Palace. Eight Stars of the East Well of the south, Southern Gate of Heaven … "The words were blurred due to the passage of time.
"What does that mean?" Huang Shijie was puzzled.
Si Wuya said, "I'm not sure myself. Let's go in and take a look … If you're afraid, you can wait outside."
He tried to push the stone door open with his palm, but it did not budge.
Compared to the others, Si Wuya was not a person who liked to use brute force. He briefly studied the layout and structure of his surroundings in an attempt to find traces of a Formation. However, he found nothing.
"Can't you open it?" Jiang Aijian asked with a smile. "It's fine if you can't. It's dark outside. It'll be even darker inside."
Si Wuya flew forward. He circled the area once before returning to his original spot. He said, "It's an underground palace."
"How did you know it's an underground palace?"
"With my eyes," Si Wuya replied.
He flew to the forehead of the huge skeleton and looked down. His eyes shone with a peculiar red light again.
The red light only appeared for an instant before Si Wuya struck the huge skeleton with his palm.
The 'Fire' character buzzed and shone with a red light.
The huge skeleton suddenly waved its arm.
Swoosh!
Si Wuya moved upward to avoid the attack.
Huang Shijie, Jiang Aijian, and Li Jingyi swiftly retreated.
The skeleton's mouth creaked as it waved its arms.
Hu!
Si Wuya dodged to and fro, causing the dust to fall to the ground. Red scripts lit up on the skeleton's body, covering every corner of the skeleton.
"What the hell is this?" Jiang Aijian asked.
"That's good!" Si Wuya kept dodging as he weaved between the huge skeleton's arms.
Bang!
The skeleton clasped its palms together. Si Wuya moved away, and the skeleton's palms missed. The skeleton stopped moving.
The stone door slowly moved open. Hum —
Si Wuya descended. When he was certain the skeleton was no longer moving, he said, "Come with me."
Jiang Aijian was puzzled. "How did you know?"
"I dreamed of it," Si Wuya replied.
"If you insult my intelligence again, I'll leave right away," Jiang Aijian said as he followed Jiang Aijian.
"Leave, then," Si Wuya said.
Jiang Aijian turned to look at the pitch-black sky.
"Err … You can continue to insult me."
…
Si Wuya stepped through the stone door and entered the underground palace.
To be more precise, it was more like an oval-shaped space. When they entered the underground palace, Jiang Aijian was completely stunned by what he saw. There were swords everywhere on the walls inside … long and short, thick and thin. There were all kinds of swords, and there were hundreds of different styles.
Jiang Aijian's mouth was agape as he looked at the treasured swords.
The visual impact of the treasured swords dispelled Jiang Aijian's fear. He flew over and admired the treasured swords in the underground palace.
The scabbards were decorated with various patterns and the shining blades. Thousands upon thousands of treasured swords were buried in the underground palace. However, they did not lose their radiance and charm despite the passage of time.
The treasured swords' radiance illuminated the underground palace.
The crystals above them glowed faintly.
"We've found a treasure."
Huang Shijie landed on the ground. The ground was covered in gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and luminous pearls. All of them were supreme-grade treasures.
Swords were not the only weapons. There were sabers, spears, staffs, and halberds as well. Every single one of them was a rare treasure. Even the most inferior ones were earth-grade and above.
Si Wuya walked up to Huang Shijie. He looked at the treasures and nodded as he said, "Indeed, it's a treasure. However, why is it on Chongming Mountain? Cultivators have long abandoned the pursuit of worldly things. What's the point of hiding these things? "
He was not interested in these things at all.
He pushed away from the ground and flew deeper into the underground palace. What he saw shocked him even more. He saw a statue that was many feet long standing in the middle of the underground palace.
The skeleton was hovering with its wings spread. It was unmoving like a statue.
Si Wuya shifted his gaze to the center of the wings. He thought it was a huge flying beast. He did not expect it to be a human! A petrified human!
