Chapter 625 – Seas Becoming Mulberry Fields

　　After completing the preparations, everyone stepped into the teleportation array under their feet. The teleportation array connected, lighting up one by one, just like exploding fireworks in the air. However, it was fleeting and frequently lit up between teleportation arrays. For the people concerned, it was definitely not any kind of good feeling. Even though Lin Xuanzhi already reached the Earth Realm, he was quickly and frequently teleported around, making him dizzy, not to mention others’ reactions. When teleporting, the surrounding scenery couldn’t be seen, and there was only a distant light ahead of them. In the seemingly endless darkness, Lin Xuanzhi said, “There are five left, everyone get ready.”

　　Everyone responded in succession.

　　Soon, they passed the bottomless cliff.

　　The instant the last teleportation array appeared close to the ground, Lin Xuanzhi grasped the Zhige sword, and as soon as his line of sight recovered, his sword burst through the array, and with a bottomless green light, killed the humanoid monsters lying in ambush to attack, mincing them all to death.

　　Yan Tianhen, “….”

　　He silently withdrew the Yin flame whip in his hand.

　　Their luck was still considered not bad. They didn’t fall into muddy swamps or into any strange places. There was hard black soil at their feet, surrounded by trees with strange shapes that seemingly made people tremble.

　　After receiving the first wave of attacks, those upright humanoid monsters all came running towards their way. A rotten stench hit their noses.

　　When Yin Chongyue saw thousands of monsters, he couldn’t help but feel numb and shouted, “Run to the middle quickly!”

　　They took up arms and worked together to deal with these things. Suddenly, there was a turbulence on the ground, which seemed like an earthquake. Lin Xuanzhi had an ominous premonition. He pulled Yan Tianhen and shouted a single word “Run”, and immediately flew on his sword. He flew over the heads of those monsters, and others followed suit and ran out as fast as possible.

　　They were not the only ones who felt the danger and ran away. Those humanoid monsters that originally seemed to be without restraint also seemed to have received some kind of stimulation. Then, while screaming, they started to run towards the depths. However, after only a candle wick of time, the originally hard ground was suddenly upturned, and reddish-brown liquid sprayed out, more and more, and soon covered a large area. The land sunk, eroded by the corrosive liquid, and slowly fell into the water. And those monsters who ran like crazy were swallowed by this unknown water. One by one, they whined and wailed bitterly. From head to feet, they soon disappeared in front of the group.

　　When he saw this, Yan Tianhen involuntarily gripped Lin Xuanzhi’s hand.

　　Before long, the originally vast land had already turned into a boundless red ocean, and all the living things had been completely swallowed up by red water.

　　In one day, mulberry fields turned into the sea. Yin Chongyue asked, “Exactly what kind of place is this?”

　　Ah Bai’s legs softened and his wings loosened, and he nearly fell down. Yan Tianhen quickly used his whip and wrapped it around Ah Bai, pulling him up.

　　However, this slight movement alerted the dragon snake that originally wanted to sink down. It suddenly turned its head and stared towards them.

　　Yan Tianhen, “…..”

　　Other people, “…..”

　　The dragon snake sank down and the water’s surface became calm again.

　　Cold sweat appeared on Yin Nian’s forehead and he said, “Such a big monster is a bit scary. Who knows how many powerful things are hidden in the water.”

　　Lin Xuanzhi said, “Let’s quickly leave this place– be careful!”

　　Lin Xuanzhi’s pupil suddenly shrank, his left hand made a hand seal while his right hand grasped the sword and swiftly swung down. A sword light that spanned hundreds of meters chopped down, cutting off half the huge head of the dragon snake that suddenly rushed straight towards them from the water without warning!

　　“Mother ahhhh!” Yin Nian cried out as he began to slash his sword over and over. Yan Tianhen also had a handful of Yin fireballs, aiming them all at the big wound of the head being cut off.

　　This dragon snake twisted violently in pain, and its body, which was originally hidden in the water, kept thrashing around, stirring up the water and shaking the earth. Many monsters that were originally hidden in the water were stirred up. They looked strange, but most of them had no eyes. They originally smelled human flesh and wanted to fly up and attack Lin Xuanzhi and the others, but suddenly they seemed to smell the scent of this injured tyrant.

　　As a result, the vast majority of monsters in the sea rushed towards the seriously injured dragon snake and hung on its body, constantly biting it. Even if some of them were thrown off, more monsters rushed forward. Finally, the dragon snake itself was in danger and no longer had the energy to pay attention to Lin Xuanzhi and the others any more. When they saw that the dragon snake had been wrapped up in monsters and was unable to attack them, they ran far away, killing the occasional monsters in the sea who foolishly attacked them.

　　After running for a whole hour, they finally saw the edge of the sea. There was another cliff at the end of the sea. From a distance, because the cliff was a critical intersection of the sea and mulberry fields, it looked very clean. At least there were no horrible climbing vines.

　　Yan Tianhen’s sharp eyes saw a high hanging cave and he immediately shouted, “Let’s go over to the cave, hurry!”

　　The exhausted people landed in the cave one after another, and after confirming that there were no monsters in the cave, they collapsed to the ground one by one. They ran and attacked the entire way, which was enough to leave Yan Tianhen and Yin Nian empty of spiritual Qi.

　　If it weren’t for the support of Yan Tianhen’s medicinal pills, which could instantly replenish their spiritual Qi, he and Yin Nian would probably have dragged everyone down.

　　Yin Nian collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath and said, “Your… your medicinal pill is too fucking incredible. The Qi contained in those pills can probably be weighed by the catties, right?”

　　Yan Tianhen’s heart started hurting as soon as those medicinal pills were mentioned. He looked at the top of the cave with empty eyes and said, “Don’t bring it up, I had to spend hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones just to get enough spiritual plants for one pill. It took ten days to half a month to refine just one bottle, and now it’s practically gone.”

　　This time, it was not only him and Yin Nian, but also the two tiger cubs who also ate a lot.

　　Yin Chongyue glanced at the two of them as he learned against the mountain and smiled. “Do you realize the benefits of having high cultivation now?” He and Lin Xuanzhi still had enough spiritual Qi to spare.

　　The Yin and Yang Umbrellas were weapon spirits and had high cultivation to begin with, so they were not too tired.

　　Yan Tianhen and Yin Nian were sprawled on the ground. They then looked at Ah Bai and Hu Po lying sprawled around like them, and then looked at the others, who were still sitting very dignifiedly cross legged or leaning on the mountain wall, and suddenly felt a sense of shame at the same time.

　　Yan Tianhen sniffed, groaned, and got up. He then laid down on Lin Xuanzhi’s cross legged lap. He looked at Lin Xuanzhi’s faintly-open eyes and said, “Thankfully, Dage urged me to cultivate before, otherwise, today I wouldn’t be able to even reach this level.”

　　Lin Xuanzhi contributed the most. Not only did he need to navigate and cut open a path, but he also had to handle the monsters that jumped out one by one. At this time, a few strands of his long hair, which was originally tied up, were scattered in front of him, giving him the image of a lazy beauty.

　　Lin Xuanzhi lightly smiled, raised his hand and patted Yan Tianhen’s forehead, saying, “I can urge you even more.”

　　Yan Tianhen, “Yes yes yes.”

　　Yin Nian looked at Yan Tianhen shamelessly using his master’s thigh as a headrest, and then looked at himself, lying on the ground, with no one caring for him, and suddenly had a sour taste in his mouth.

　　Yin Nian secretly glanced at Bai Yanqiu. If there was anyone among them whose performance was the most incredible and hard to believe, it was definitely Bai Yanqiu.

　　“You are really capable.” Yin Chongyue had already opened his mouth and said, “I thought you couldn’t lift your hands and carry anything, but you’re actually also a magic cultivator, and your cultivation is not low. Your talent is wasted as a disciple in the Academy.”

　　Bai Yanqiu helped a lot along the way. His fire dragon was more violent than Yan Tianhen’s. With one move, a bunch of monsters rushing at them were burned into fireballs and fell down. Looking at him right now, those attacks didn’t seem to have taken a toll on him. Bai Yanqiu just smiled modestly and said, “I have been traveling outside all year round, so it is only natural that I should have some ability in order to protect myself. Besides, I came to Myriad Dao Academy only to learn alchemy, as the saying goes, there are many specializations, but each always has shortcomings.”

　　Look, what is a modest gentleman? There is a living one right here.

　　As soon as they came to the Tomb of Youshan, they suffered from the malice here, but fortunately, they could get out of danger and win a short respite of peace right now.

　　The frequent fights before and the unusual changes in terrain made these outsiders clearly realize that the enemies here were most likely existences they had never encountered before, but on the other hand, it allowed them to find that the monsters in the Tomb of Youshan were not invincible. The cave hanging over the high cliff was considered safe; not only was it sheltered from the wind, but it was also rarely attacked by demonic beasts. They all used this place as a stronghold for the time being, and hurried to take the time to adjust their conditions.

　　Taotian contributed a lot of peaches, which were grown in Ethereal City with abundant spiritual Qi for many years, so each peach was full of spiritual Qi. They were fresh, juicy, and plump. After eating it, not only was the absorbed miscellaneous dirty Qi cleaned out, but also the spiritual Qi in the body recovered a bit.

　　Yan Tianhen was very satisfied with eating peaches.

　　Although Taotian’s fighting capacity was not good, his restoration ability was high.

　　That night, at an unknown time, suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise outside, like an earthquake, startling everyone awake. Lin Xuanzhi took the lead, rushing out, and saw that the free flowing flood was shaken up and had set off huge waves, followed by soil collapsing and turning over, and all the water was pushed down. It took less than a moment for those soil to condense together thickly, burying all the red sea beneath and turning the sea into a mulberry field overnight.

　　The scene was quite spectacular. A row of people stood at the entrance of the cave, looking towards the picture that could only be called spectacular and utterly shocking. They witnessed the transformation of a vast ocean into land. The demonic seeds buried in the ground took root and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, then grew branches, and finally became what they had first seen — an endless canopy that blocked out the sky and perfectly merged life and death together.
