Chapter 26 part 2

Ling Xi’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She remembered that she didn’t find the name of that famous high-tiered deity. She didn’t expect that…he was actually called Nan Zhi…

“Nan Zhi cultivated a human form after I went to Xuwang Cliff. I found many books of spells in eldest senior brother’s study and let him learn them. He is smart and his comprehension ability was high. His skills rose very quickly. However, he only cultivated a human body at Donghua Mountain. He went to ask high-tiered deity Donghua for help,” Ling Xi said honestly.

Qing Kui said, “High-tiered deity Donghua really helped him?”

That high-tiered deity was the leader of the immortal world. His cultivation was indeed unfathomable, but that temper…could only be described with the word “strange”.

“Mm…” Ling Xi nodded and continued. “I swore that Nan Zhi hadn’t used any dissident ways to increase his cultivation! He is very kind and obedient and not some demon or devil. I swear!”

After Qing Kui was silent for a while did he say, “Ah Chou, for Xiao Hei’s own good, it’s the best to not let others know for the moment that he had cultivated a human body.”

Even if the black Chinese rose’s spiritual power was high, even if he (NZ) swallowed two hundred years of cultivation from him (QK), even if Ling Xi had given him many immortal elixirs, as an immortal spirit, his growth was too abnormal.

Qing Kui prided himself for not being an old-fashioned person. He believed that many things couldn’t be explained with conventional reasoning. For example, the passed away eldest senior brother who had never done anything harmful to the six realms created a black snow lotus. For example, Ling Xi whose heart was a pure as a blank paper was able to make snow lotuses turn into ashes. He believed that the black Chinese rose was really a miracle of the six realms and got the cultivation of today by his own virtue. However, that he believed didn’t mean that master would believe and didn’t mean that the other people of the immortal realm would believe.

Ling Xi looked away and watched the constant changing scenery under the thin clouds. There were so many scenery in the world. She had promised Nan Zhi to no longer conceal his existence and would no longer let him hide. She would travel with him around the world.

“If you can’t conceal it any longer, at least wait till the matter of eldest senior brother is finished. With eldest senior brother here, the situation would be different,” Qing Kui said.

Ling Xi lowered her eyes and nodded silently.

—

The Eastern Sea was vast and a sparkling blue. The sky was also clear. The endless sea reflected the blue sky and there was almost no way to tell where the sky and where the sea was.

When Ling Xi came out of the netherworld, it happened to be the time of a sunrise. It only took half a day for the three to arrive at the Eastern Sea. It was the time that the sun was at it highest, but the breeze on the sea was gentle and refreshing.

This wasn’t the first time that she had came to the Eastern Sea.

At the end of the Eastern Sea was Cangjia Mountain. That year, she and big brother lived in a small village near the Eastern Sea for more than a year. After getting up to Cangjia Mountain, the year that Nan Zhi broke through the seal of Xuwang Cliff, he flew over the Eastern Sea with her. Now that she remembered it, the picture of the two happy them of that day was still vividly in her memories. Ling Xi called Nan Zhi again in her heart, but there was still no response.

“Are you sure that Qing Nian said that the sects would come to help?” Qing Kui looked at the empty sea and asked Qing Lian unhappily.

Qing Lian was also puzzled, “The information that Qing Nian gave me was indeed like this. Perhaps, the Four Immortals’ Association had just finished. They had to prepare before leaving. Besides, it will take a few days to come here from Donghua.”

Qing Kui looked at the east, “But it’s very easy for master and junior uncles to come.”

Qing Lian was in deep thoughts as she frowned. Qing Kui continued, “We will know after we ask.”

As he talked, he chanted a spell. A green bird appeared in his hand. He said a few words to it and then let it fly away.

Qing Lian said hesitantly, “Maybe they didn’t expect us to come out of the netherworld so soon. Why don’t we go down the Eastern Sea and find the Soul-Suppressing pearls? After master arrives, he will certainly contact us.”

Qing Kui thought for a moment. In the big Eastern Sea, in order to prevent someone from releasing the evil spirits, the exact location of the Soul-Suppressing pearls was known to only a few. All the evil spirits that had been caught had been directly thrown into the Eastern Sea and dealt with by the people of the Eastern Sea. They came to get the Soul-Suppressing pearls. If it doesn’t go smoothly, it may take a few days to find the location alone.

“Why doesn’t Ah Chou wait for us on the surface of the Eastern Sea and we will go down.” Qing Kui was a bit worried and didn’t want Ling Xi to be in danger again.

“Mm, the Eastern Sea is unfathomable. Xi er, you are not proficient in water spells. Just wait on the surface for master and the others to arrive.” Qing Lian also agreed.

• Er: term of endearment

Ling Xi was tired, but her eyes were firm. She shook her head and said, “I had promised master. For eldest senior brother, I will do my utmost best.”

Ling Xi had always felt that at that time when Cang Yu emphasized that she would be the leader of all the disciples that participated in the Four Immortals’ association must be intentional. Since she was the leader, she naturally couldn’t back out in face of a dangerous task.

“It would be quicker for three people to search. When we encountered trouble, I will definitely see protecting myself as the most important,” Ling Xi added. She didn’t want others to take risks in order to make up for her mistake and she would watch on the sidelines.

Qing Kui saw that Ling Xi was determined. He jumped from Juisheng and said, “Then, Juisheng will follow you.”

“I will still lend Xinyin to you.” Qing Lian threw Xinyin hairpin into Ling Xi’s hand without a mistake.

A warmth spread through Ling Xi’s heart. Suddenly, her whole body was full of strength. “Thank you, senior brother Qing Kui and senior sister Qing Lian!”

“No need to thank. Let’s go down the sea!”

Qing Kui happily headed into the Eastern Sea. Qing Lian smiled slightly at Ling Xi and also quickly entered the sea. Ling Xi patted Juisheng’s head and said, “Let’s go!”

The water of the sea was cold. The deeper they went, the colder the water was and the light also got dimmer. However, compared to the water of the River of Forgetfulness, the slight discomfort caused by the sea water of the Eastern Sea was negligible. Ling Xi only needed a small spell to freely move in the Eastern Sea.

The Soul-Suppressing pearls are at the bottom of the sea, but the Eastern Sea was so vast and Ling Xi didn’t know what that pearls looked like and what special characteristics they had. She didn’t have any clues about how to find them. She only remembered that Qing Lian reminded her that since the Soul-Suppressing pearls were used to suppress the evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, it must be located at the place where the dark energy was the most prosperous in the Easter Sea.

“Juisheng, why don’t we go directly to the Dragon King and ask for the Soul-Suppressing pearls?” Ling Xi recalled that Qing Lian had said that the Dragon King was eager for the Soul-Suppressing pearls to not be out of the Eastern Sea, so that he could disperse those evil spirits. Moreover, previously, she got the Soul-Locking water from the king of hell…

Juisheng shook his body and muttered, “The Dragon King looks down on us! The dragon clan is also a branch of the god clan. Since the god clan had disappeared ten thousand years ago, the dragon clan had no longer appeared in the six realms.”

Ling Xi pursed her lips. In order to see the king of hell that day, she caused a ruckus in the netherworld. Now that she wanted to see the Dragon king, she couldn’t let the Eastern Sea turn upside down, right? Moreover, getting the Soul-Locking water from the king of hell was a pleasant surprise… the Dragon King…she couldn’t be sure…

“The place where the dark energy was the most prosperous…” Ling Xi felt that the bottom of the Eastern Sea was full of vitality. There was no place where the dark energy was the most prosperous. “Juisheng, go look over there. The dark place over there.”

“No, no. Just with one look, you would know that it’s a cave.” Juisheng’s eyesight was better than Ling Xi’s. He was very dissatisfied with her decision.

“Look, there is not even one seagrass nearby and the fishes also go around the hole. Perhaps, there is something about it.” Ling Xi was anxious. They had been walking around at the bottom of the sea for half a day and didn’t find anything unusual.

Juisheng floated to there unwillingly. When he arrived at the opening of the cave, he shouted, “So fragrant!”

Ling Xi also smelled the strong aroma of wine. While she was pondering about how one could still make wine under the sea, Juisheng already rushed into the cave excitedly.

A silver light suddenly appeared in the dark bottom of the sea. The group of fishes got a fright and scattered away. The cave originally had a boundary which was broken by Juisheng. After the silver light came out, the boundary disappeared and the aroma of the wine overflowed everywhere.

There was originally altar made of wine jars in the cave protected by that layer of boundary. Juisheng broke the boundary and the seawater poured into the cave. The wine jars floated up one after another and the wine in the jars also overflowed into the sea water.

“Good wine! My good wine!”

Juisheng’s whole attention was on the wine that had been poured away and didn’t discover that the Ling Xi on him was already in the state of preparing to go to battle.

The moment the boundary had disappeared, she and Juisheng were also surrounded.

Merfolk.

They wore waterweed clothing. The upper body looked like that of a human. The lower body was a huge fish tail.

Ling Xi had read about them in <The recordings of spiritual objects>, but seeing them now, she was still taken aback.

At this moment, they were glaring with their big blue eyes and were obviously furious.

“Oh no, trouble…,” Only now did Juisheng realize that. He carefully moved with Ling Xi out of the cave, but the moment they moved, the merfolk immediately followed.

Merfolk were highly spiritual, but they couldn’t speak. They didn’t understand spells, but they were brave and good and fighting. They had a strong physique and they were definitely not easy to deal with.

“Why don’t we use a seal to trap them?” Juisheng proposed.

After the battle in the netherworld, Ling Xi was much calmer than before. She shook her head and said, “The merfolk has latent sounds available. Even if this merfolk were trapped, they can inform the other merfolk unless we have the ability to trap the entire Eastern Sea with the seal.”

Juisheng looked around. Sure enough, there was merfolk coming from other places, running non-stop to here.

“I will deal with them. You leave first!”
