Chapter 2240 Flooding Sea
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“The Flooding Sea is a region where only those whose cultivation is beneath God Monarch can enter. For that reason, we usually observe from the outside. Once the area opens, the Nine Skies will dispatch the Conferred God Kings and God Kings under their command to head in and gather treasures. Under such circumstances, killing and plundering from one another is inevitable, so there are many casualties every single time. As for how many treasures each Sky manages to collect, unless the God Monarch announces the result, no one will know.”
After recovering his strength, it did not take long for Little Chick to learn all about the Flood of Spiritual Energy from the reports of his subordinates.
“Young Master, I hope that you can enter as a God King of our Sky of Spirit Origin and protect my juniors from harm. Of course, if it’s not convenient for you, you don’t need to bother about it…”
“I’ll try my best to protect them if I see any of them coming to harm,” Zhang Xuan replied with a nod.
Since the Fire Feather Conferred God King and the others were juniors of Little Chick, they could also be considered his juniors. If they faced any danger in the Flooding Sea, it was only right for him, as a senior, to help them out.
“This is an insignia representing our Sky of Spirit Origin. By wearing it on your chest when you enter the Flooding Sea, others will know which power you are from. Based on that, they will decide whether they should collaborate with you or fight against you,” Little Chick said as he passed an insignia over.
Zhang Xuan took the insignia and pinned it on his chest.
On top of the respective factions of the Nine God Monarchs, there would also be unaffiliated cultivators entering the Flooding Sea in the hope of obtaining more resources. This insignia would prevent others from mistaking him as an unaffiliated cultivator, thus reducing the danger for him.
Even though the Flooding Sea was generally viewed as a lawless zone, individuals would still have to think twice before killing the subordinate of a God Monarch.
“The Flood of Spiritual Energy grows stronger every single time, and the treasures that appear become more and more formidable,” Little Chick said. “In fact, last time, there was an object that was useful even for the God Monarchs. Due to that, the Heaven Subjugation Monarch was able to reach a level comparable to God Monarch Lingxi within just forty years!
“I heard that the other God Monarchs have nurtured quite a few experts for the Flood of Spiritual Energy this time. They even resorted to using the Spacetime Mirror to distort temporal laws so that they would have ample time to cultivate. The battle this time around will likely be even more difficult than before. Young Master, you must be careful!”Visit website our Listnovel.com
He had heard that the God Monarchs had been focusing their efforts on nurturing a new generation of Conferred God Kings over the past month. As for the names and abilities of those Conferred God Kings, he had not had time to look into it just yet.
However, given that their rivals were well-prepared, they would have to make sure to proceed carefully to make up for their disadvantage.
It was true that Zhang Xuan was practically matchless against opponents beneath God Monarchs, but there was a good chance that the enemies would gang up on him. If he came under the encirclement of dozens of Conferred God Kings with all sorts of artifacts and formations thrown at him, even he would be placed in a perilous position!
Furthermore, it was rumored that the Flood of Spiritual Energy contained many natural traps that could threaten even a God Monarch.
Knowing that Little Chick was advising him out of goodwill, Zhang Xuan accepted his advice with a nod.
The three of them quickly tore through space to head over to the Flooding Sea.
The Flooding Sea was located at the edge of the world.
When Zhang Xuan saw the scenery before him after walking out of the dimension rift, he was unable to speak for a long while.
Near the edge of the blue sky above him, there was a massive enigmatic hole that appeared to lead to some unfathomable location. The violent energies within the fissure had been sealed by a light barrier.
However, the light barrier was extremely thin. It looked as if it would collapse at any moment now.
Little Chick looked at the pitch-black fissure in the sky with a fearful look on his face as he explained, “Forty years ago, that black fissure suddenly appeared in the midst of the sky, and like a deflated balloon, the spiritual energy within the Firmament began to gush outward. This resulted in what we’ve come to know as the receding of spiritual energy.”
“Why would the fissure suddenly appear? And… who was the one who killed you back then?” Zhang Xuan asked.
He had been puzzled by this question for a long while. Just who in the world had the ability to kill the Deathless Monarch?
Except for other God Monarchs, there should have been no one who had the ability to kill the Deathless Monarch. What in the world happened forty years ago that led to his demise?
Could it have something to do with this fissure that had appeared out of nowhere?
Thinking about it, Kong shi had also appeared in the world roughly forty thousand years ago on the Master Teacher Continent, which equated to around forty years ago in the Firmament.
The fissure in the Firmament’s sky and Kong shi obtaining Heavens’ Order… Could there be a link between the two?
“I seem to have lost all memories regarding my death. I have already regained my cultivation, but somehow, I simply can’t recall that event. However, my intuition tells me that it has something to do with the fissure over there!” Little Chick replied grimly.
“You have lost your memories?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
In the entire Firmament, other than Luo Ruoxin and Kong shi, there did not seem to be anyone who wielded the ability to erase a God Monarch’s memory!
“No, it’s not God Monarch Lingxi or Kong shi!” Little Chick overthrew Zhang Xuan’s thoughts. “When the fissure first appeared, Kong shi was still on the Master Teacher Continent, and he had just been born. On the other hand, God Monarch Lingxi was busy trying to seal off the fissure to prevent spiritual energy from leaking. She had to inform the other Skies and construct a grand formation to repair the damage… She wouldn’t have had the time nor the energy to make a move on me!”
“Seal off the fissure? Are you saying that the seal on the fissure was created by Ruoxin?” Zhang Xuan asked.
“Yes, that’s right!” Little Chick replied.
As he had died shortly after the fissure appeared, he was unaware of many things that had happened over the past forty years. However, he still had subordinates that would report to him about the aftermath of that incident.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
It seemed like the situation was far direr than he had thought, which was also why Luo Ruoxin and Kong shi had to complete their battle then.
This could be a side effect of the fragmentation of the heavens, which meant that his Library of Heaven’s Path had something to do with this as well.
While the two of them were talking with one another, the black fissure shook and became even more glaring.
A powerful burst of spiritual energy tore through the seal and began sweeping outward like a tornado.
The sky darkened under the outburst of spiritual energy, dimming even the sun’s glow. It felt like the black tornado was swiftly sweeping across the entire Firmament.
“Quick, enter!”
With a bellow, innumerable silhouettes in the area rushed into the tornado, vanishing from sight.
“Has the Flood of Spiritual Energy begun?” Zhang Xuan asked with a grim expression.
He had thought that he would still have to wait a while longer, but who could have known that everything would happen so quickly?
“It’s started. The rest of them have already entered, so Young Master, you should hurry,” Little Chick replied.
With a raise of his hand, he was just about to send Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi in when…
“Wait a moment. There’s still one last thing that I want to ask about. Didn’t you mention that the fissure has been absorbing the spiritual energy of the Firmament? Why would it suddenly pour out spiritual energy during the Flood of Spiritual Energy?” Zhang Xuan asked hurriedly.
He could not help but feel that something was really amiss about this, and it made him feel a little unnerved.
“I don’t know either. However, like the tides of a sea, the spiritual energy that comes out will surge back in after a period of time, and the amount of spiritual energy it releases isn’t even a hundredth of what has been consumed thus far,” Little Chick replied.
The Firmament had simply too many secrets, so even he, a God Monarch, could not possibly know everything.
Seeing that Little Chick did not have the answers he sought, Zhang Xuan wrapped himself and Luo Qiqi within his soul energy before having Little Chick send them into the Flooding Sea.
When he opened his eyes once more, he was already standing in the middle of a barren land. His surroundings were filled with rocks and chaotic spiritual energy, and there were no plants or lifeforms to be seen.
