Chapter 108 The Sun Blooming in the Sea, the Truth in a Corner of the World
In fact, what the invisible monster didn’t know was that it had been discovered the moment it set its sights on Ding Kai.
Although Ding Hai did not look at it, his spiritual sense had already locked onto its existence.
With the operation of the Sky-Viewing Eye, Ding Hai had already begun to peek into the true appearance of this mysterious creature through the layers of ripples in the sea.
Unfortunately, there was an inexplicable force around this monster that blocked the consciousness of Ding Kai and the other man, making it difficult for Ding Kai to detect its true appearance.
Just as Ding Hai was about to investigate further, the monster suddenly moved.
It suddenly raised its head, and a powerful force instantly surged out from under the sea, distorting the void around Ding Kai.
The force was like a black hole, pulling Ding Hai's body and forcing him to fall into the turbulent sea.
This force is very strong, so strong that even with Ding Hai's physique, it is difficult to break free from the powerful suction.
All of a sudden, Ding Hai's body gradually sank, sliding towards the bottomless dark abyss under his feet.
After roughly testing the power limit of the monster under his feet, Ding Hai stopped playing around.
The surging innate Qi instantly surged out of his body, and a repulsive force instantly shattered the suction force surrounding him.
In less than a breath, Ding Hai regained his balance: "How dare you, a cunning person, come and attack me? You are courting death."
Ding Hai swung out with one fist, and a dazzling bolt of lightning instantly killed the monster under his feet.
The thunder cut through the surging sea, carrying Ding Hai's anger and power, and pierced straight into the invisible monster.
However, the monster seemed to be prepared.
In an instant, an even more powerful energy rose from beneath the sea and collided with Ding Hai's thunder.
After a loud 'boom', the thunder and the force collided and intertwined, forming a dazzling curtain of light.
Under the light curtain, a huge crack was torn in the sea water, and a huge dent appeared on the sea surface.
After a head-on fight, Ding Hai frowned.
He could feel that the power of this monster was not beyond his imagination, but the power of this monster was extremely strange!
Not only is it extremely corrosive, it also seems to be able to devour the power of thunder!
Although he realized that the monster under his feet was very different from the previous monsters, Ding Hai did not retreat.
With a thought, he circulated the innate Qi in his body to the extreme, and then punched again.
This time, he no longer used thunder, but instead condensed all his strength into an almost solid small Huashan.
It is the Baoshan Seal.
The place is filled with moisture, and Ding Hai wants to try whether the Baoshan Seal, which is in conflict with the nature of this place, can have any miraculous effect.
The solid Baoshan Seal cut through the sea like a meteor, and with the momentum of destroying the world, it smashed into the location where the monster was.
Under the sea, the monster seemed to be startled by Ding Hai's attack.
It let out a deafening roar that shook the entire sea.
Immediately afterwards, an even more powerful corrosive energy surged out from beneath the sea surface and collided violently with Ding Hai's Baoshan Seal.
This time the collision was more intense than the previous one.
The entire sea surface was covered with huge waves tens of meters high.
Ding Hai was also pushed back repeatedly by the powerful recoil force, but he did not give up.
Through the attack just now, he had already tested what he wanted.
The five elements of life and death have a certain degree of restraint on the monster under his feet, but considering the surrounding environment, the restraint is not that great.
Just as Ding Hai was gathering his strength again and preparing to launch a more violent attack.
The monster that was originally so aggressive suddenly disappeared from under the sea.
In an instant, the sea returned to calm, as if everything before was just an illusion.
Ding Hai frowned, he could feel that the monster had not left, but due to the interference of the surging sea water under his feet, the range that could be detected by both his Sky-Viewing Eye and his spiritual sense was greatly reduced.
There was no other way. Ding Kai could only expand his spiritual sense to the limit while moving continuously, trying to find the trace of the monster.
Finally, after some searching, he found the trace of the monster.
It turns out that it was hiding hundreds of meters below the sea, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, Ding Hai sneered and disappeared in a flash.
When he appeared again, he had already broken through the layers of sea water and arrived above the monster.
The battle flag of the Lord of Arms that was originally hidden in the storage ring appeared in his hand at some point, and the power in his body gathered together again as he thought about it.
However, just as he was about to launch an attack, the monster disappeared again.
Ding Hai's face changed drastically. He had clearly locked onto the monster, so how could this happen?
Shocked, Ding Kai quickly activated his Sky-Guan Dharma Pupil. However, in his vision, the monster seemed to turn into sea water and disappeared without a trace.
This change made Ding Hai feel inexplicably irritated.
He knew very well that the monster had not really disappeared, but had used some means to conceal its presence, making it impossible for him to track it.
"Who on earth is this monster? How can he hide his breath so easily?" Ding Hai thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, a strong wave came from under the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black light rose from under the sea and suddenly attacked where Ding Hai was.
Realizing how powerful the black light was, Ding Kai quickly placed the flag of the Lord of Arms across his chest, and the innate Qi in his body surged wildly, preparing to meet this sudden attack.
However, just when he was ready to face the black light, the force suddenly changed direction, bypassed him, and rushed towards the distant sea.
This scene confused Ding Kai, and he quickly spread his spiritual awareness, trying to find the whereabouts of that power.
However, the dark light that made it feel threatened seemed to have disappeared.
No matter how hard he looked, he could not find any trace of it.
"What on earth is this monster doing?" Ding Hai couldn't help but feel confused.
Just as he was puzzled, a strong feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart.
He suddenly raised his head and saw a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sea not far away.
A huge suction force suddenly surged out from the gap, sucking in everything around the gap.
“It’s Guixu!”
Ding Hai was startled, and quickly used the "A World Away" to break through the sea water and stand high in the air again.
After hastily escaping a disaster, Ding Hai did not hold back when he attacked.
Two lead tubes as thick as two fingers appeared in Ding Kai's hands. With the help of an extremely powerful magnetic force, they instantly rushed into the seabed and came in front of the monster.
There was a tremendous collision at an unparalleled speed.
In a flash, a dazzling sun burst into the sea with all its light and heat.
The monster, who hadn't realized the world had changed, was instantly engulfed by a huge fireball. The surging high-temperature particles destroyed everything in it in an instant.
After the dazzling light faded, Ding Hai looked down at the sea below, spreading his spiritual awareness to the extreme, carefully exploring and searching the surrounding sea to make sure that the monster really no longer existed.
After a while, Ding Hai, who had not sensed the monster's breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little: "Finally solved."
"Pa, pa, pa... " A burst of crisp applause came from the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Jingshan, Lord God, with Ding Hai's current performance, it should be more than enough for him to guard the entrance, right?" The voice of Taoist Qingsong came from the applause.
Ding Hai looked up and saw Qingsong Zhenren, who had called him here, standing side by side with Wuyi Shenjun and two unfamiliar Yangshen Zhenjuns.
"More than enough, in my opinion, your disciples are no less capable than us."
The Wuyi God who said this looked at Ding Hai and couldn't help but feel emotional.
When we first met a few years ago, although Ding Hai had some real kung fu skills, his star-pulling technique was indeed amazing.
But as long as he makes up his mind, it will not be difficult to kill Ding Kai.
At that time, they were on equal terms with him, not only because they valued his potential, but more importantly, they were giving face to Maoshan.
Who would have thought that just a few years later, earth-shaking changes would take place.
He killed the Dream Mother, whom even the demon Taoist Lin Lingsu couldn't deal with.
The evil girl who was at the threshold of Yangshen realm was killed by him.
Just looking at his attack just now, I am afraid that I am no match for him now.
In the life-and-death fight, I wasn't even sure I could seriously injure him!
"Thank you for your praise, Lord God." Ding Hai responded modestly to the praise from Lord Wuyi.
"Ding Hai, the one next to me is Master Jingshan, the junior brother of the old Heavenly Master of the Successor Han Heavenly Master Mansion, and the one next to the God is Master Mingchenzi, the Grand Elder of the Luofu Palace in Guangdong."
Seeing that Ding Hai did not get cocky because of his own strength, Qingsong Zhenren nodded with satisfaction and then introduced the other two Yangshen Zhenjun to Ding Hai.
After Ding Hai bowed his head and greeted the two men, Master Qingsong then took Ding Hai aside.
"Ding Hai, when you came here, did your master tell you your mission?"
“I have been informed.”
“The riot in Nanhai Guixu this time was extremely strange, and its intensity was far greater than in the past. The goddess Mazu who was guarding the place also disappeared inexplicably.
The sect and the Tianshi Mansion discussed it and decided to send people to Guixu to find out what was going on. Wuyi Shrine and Louvre Palace were the second line of defense guarding Guixu in the South China Sea.
Wuyi Divine Lord and the Supreme Elder of the Louvre Palace must act as pioneers with our two sects, but the Yangshen realm cultivators from Gezhao and Wudang are temporarily held back by other things.
It will take at least half a month to get here, so I temporarily pulled you over to help. I hope you don't mind."
Master Qingsong told Ding Hai the whole story in detail.
"Uncle Master, you are too kind. Guarding the entrance to Guixu is nothing to me."
In addition to accepting the task, Ding Hai also frankly expressed his unwillingness to go deep into the Guixu of the South China Sea.
After hearing this, Master Qingsong was not angry. Who would want to die if they could live? "Don't worry, when all of us old bones are dead, you youngsters will come to fill the gap.
This time, I need you to guard here for about half a month. During this period, you must not let anything else escape from the entrance to Guixu except the four of us."
As he spoke, a golden talisman appeared out of thin air in Qingsong Zhenren's hand. The talisman was engraved with many mysterious runes and emitted a faint golden light.
"What is this?" Ding Hai was a little puzzled. Although the talisman looked quite good, he could feel that it did not have much power.
“This is the Yang Talisman of the Qiankun Locking Life Talisman, which can ignore the Qiankun reversal and detect the life state of the Yin Talisman holder.
The Yin Talisman is in my hand. If one day, the Talisman is broken, but the reinforcements still haven't arrived, you better run away."
"Uncle-master, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" Ding Hai knew that Guixu was dangerous, but he never expected that even a direct descendant of the Yang God of Maoshan like Qingsong Zhenren was not sure he could walk out alive.
"Not really?" True Man Qingsong looked back at Guixu behind him and said to Ding Hai seriously, "Very serious."
"Have you ever understood the stratification of history in the spiritual world? Oh, I made a mistake. This is not the information you were able to access before.
At present, you have the strength to rival that of Yangshen Zhenjun, so there are some things you should know. " Then, Qingsong Zhenren revealed some of the truths of the world to Ding Hai.
Since humans began to record events through word of mouth, the world has gone through a total of eight eras.
The earliest era can be traced back to the era of giant beasts more than 200,000 years ago.
In this era, although humans have formed tribes, life is extremely difficult.
The second era was the ancient god era tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, humans who depended on giant beasts worshiped those giant beasts as gods.
In the East they are called the Old Gods, in the West they are revered as the Titans.
The third era is the Totem Era, which began tens of thousands of years ago.
Suiren ignited the fire of spiritual practice.
Youchao led his people to build the earliest cities so that ordinary people could also resist jackals, tigers and leopards.
The Ziyi clan created the world's earliest totem carrier - the totem flag.
The fourth era is the Dayu Dynasty, which was seldom recorded ten thousand years ago. The Three Sovereigns were born one after another and led humans to fight against the remaining gods/beasts, gradually opening up the living space for humans.
The fifth era was the Heavenly Palace Era, during which the Five Emperors, who inherited the will of the Three Sovereigns, launched a large-scale hunt against the gods, demons, and monsters between heaven and earth.
One god after another blossomed in that era.
Zhuanxu opened up a connection between the earth and the sky.
Dayi shot and killed Xiangliu, Jiufeng, and even the nine-headed golden crow.
The protracted war destroyed most of the caves and made the Heavenly Palace a legend.
The sixth era is the Six Heavens Age of Ghosts, which is incarnated by the ancient gods who are dead but not yet stiff.
In order to gain power, Qi colluded with the deceased ancient gods and defeated Bo Yi with the help of their power.
He originally wanted to turn against God and put on a show of letting you die while I take all the benefits, but he ended up failing due to lack of strength and dragged the human race back to an era where humans and gods coexisted and demons and monsters were rampant.
The seventh era was the era of great unification. The First Emperor used his destiny as a price to bring most of the six-day ghosts in the world to the underground.
The eighth era is the era of cultivating immortals that arose after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This era has continued to this day and has not yet declined.
More than 90% of the six heavenly ghosts left behind by the First Emperor were destroyed in this era, and most of the remaining six heavenly ghosts were between life and death and difficult to revive.
Humanity reaches its peak in this era!
But the power of practitioners has also declined to the extreme in this era.
The ancient gods in the heavenly era were so capable of killing that the ancient gods were terrified, but today's cultivators find it difficult to completely kill even the six heavenly ghosts that were born after the death of the ancient gods.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows how big the gap is.
The Guixu behind him can be traced back to the first era. Such a dangerous and desolate place is not suitable for a Yang God like Qingsong Zhenren.
Even deities like Mazu and the immortal ancestors in various blessed lands dare not guarantee that they can escape from Guixu unscathed.
In addition, Ding Hai understood something from the words of True Man Qingsong. If the four of them really never return on this trip, I am afraid that the next time it will be the Earth Immortal Ancestor in the blessed land who will lead the team to Guixu.
If even the ancestor of the earthly immortals cannot suppress those ancient gods who are still alive but dead in Guixu, I am afraid that a blessed land will have to be destroyed to block Guixu.
