Chapter 640: Journey to the Empire



Like a storm, the news swept the Southern Sea at an incredible speed.

The various clans and sects in different areas went into a state of shock, and everyone turned ashen-faced.

Six patriarch-level figures had vanished in one day and might never return. When had such a terrifying thing ever happened in the past!?

It was too terrifying.

The various clans in the Southern Sea became more and more fearful of the Dao Burial Sea Mound.

News about the demon god youngster also spread with the commotion, causing countless uproars.

No one could imagine how a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage could be so invincible. It was a miracle that he was able to escape from deadly tribulations every single time.

He had escaped the encirclement of many powerful figures outside the Deva Secret Realm.

And now, he had managed to escape the pursuit of a dozen Life Death Stage Kings. Instead, the Life Death Stage Kings either unbelievably disappeared or fled!

Everything was too unbelievable. It made many clans of the Southern Sea indignant, resentful, and ashamed.

A young man of the human race had caused such a great disturbance in the Southern Sea and set off so many storms, but no one was able to stop him from escaping!

His feats made the various Southern Sea Clans seem very incompetent!

Lin Xuan!

All the major clans and sects in the Southern Sea would never forget that name after all the sensational and shocking turmoil.

The name represented a human teenager known as the demon god youngster who once formed a legend in the Southern Sea.

But the legend that belonged to the demon god youngster was a period of great shame for all the clans in the Southern Sea.

……

In the territory of the Azure Turtle Clan, Qing Yunyang marveled, “That’s the style of a true expert!”

He entered the ancestral land of the clan and began his closed-door cultivation.

The patriarch of the azure turtle clan put his hands behind his back and said triumphantly to the higher-ups of the Azure Turtle Clan, “People do not realize the value of a tree until it grows to the height of the clouds. Just wait and see, my little brother will shine brightly when the battle of the great age comes!”

……

While storms were set off across the Southern Sea, Lin Xun and Toady were making their way back to the Ziyao Empire on the Grand Universe Ark.

“Who was that mysterious maiden in the mist? What’s her relationship with Ahu?”

“Is the Buddha with hollowed eye sockets also somewhere in the Dao Burial Sea Mound?”

“Dao Burial Sea Mound, Return Dominion, Deva Secret Realm...there are indeed too many mysterious and frightening things in the Spirit Burial Sea.”

“One day, I will come back to repay the kindness of everyone!”

Swoosh!

Under Lin Xun’s control, the Grand Universe Ark flashed across the air with unbelievable speed. Its body shined a silvery shade from the concentrated ancient rune arrays flickering like a rain of light.

Although the treasure was able to move at incredible speed, it could quickly exhaust a cultivator’s physical strength.

Lin Xun could at most last for three hours at his current cultivation base.

In addition, the ancient treasure required a huge number of high-grade aeth crystals for it to activate its rune arrays.

If Lin Xun hadn’t pocketed a lot from the Deva Secret Realm, then he would never be able to manage that kind of consumption.

That was the disadvantage of a powerful ancient treasure. Although it possessed wonderful abilities, it could quickly deplete a cultivator’s wealth. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to maintain it.

These matters were all insignificant as long as they could safely return to the Ziyao Empire. Everything would be worth it.

Lin Xun was most concerned about the numerous dangers and natural disasters along the way, such as void storms, turbulent airflow, thunder and lightning, and vicious creatures looming in the sea… Dangers were everywhere. He didn’t dare to let his guard down at all.

An ancient corpse floating on the sea could be concealing enough dangers to obliterate everything.

The eerie mist could be hiding a powerful creature that could petrify Life Death Stage Kings.

Additionally, many bizarre clans and groups were roaming in different areas of the Spirit Burial Sea, such as wraiths, bloodthirsty corpses, and other strange creatures.

It was akin to the depths of the asura hell. Its terror was strong enough to make any cultivator lose all hope.

Even if Lin Xun was on the Grand Universe Ark, he was still extra careful to avoid running into any danger.

Fortunately, the arks’ dodging ability and speed were remarkable and helped them avoid many close calls.

Lin Xun and Toady took turns to control the ark, coordinating harmoniously.

Along the way, Lin Xun did not neglect his practice. Whenever he had free time, he would focus on his cultivation, trying to understand the mysteries of his cultivation arts.

On the fifth day of setting off from the Spirit Burial Sea.

Lin Xun comprehended the third transformation of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations!

Bi’an Stamp!

Once activated, he could form a shining ancient stamp with his hands and release the phantom of a Bi’an beast. It could turn the universe upside down by devastating mountains and valleys.

Lin Xun tested it against a group of wraiths along the way. Under the power of the stamp, the air exploded and six wraith commanders with strength comparable to Heaven Ascension cultivators and fifty-four wraith soldiers who were equivalent to Spirit Sea Cultivators were utterly wiped out!

……

The ninth day on the journey across Spirit Burial Sea.

Lin Xun and the others faced a sneak attack from a gang of bizarre snake-like creatures. It was the first time they had been encircled since they operated the Grand Universe Ark.

There were far too many snake-like creatures. They blotted out everything like a tide and moved at ghost-like speed, making it impossible to guard against them!

During the attack, Lin Xun comprehended the fourth transformation of Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, Baxia Imprisonment.

The Baxia was an ancient mythical beast with powers strong enough to support the sky!

Once the Baxia Imprisonment was activated, a Baxia seemed to have descended upon the world from ancient times. Its terrifying power could imprison and suppress all living beings.

In short, the move was an extremely mysterious and overbearing imprisonment art.

Almost instantly, the tide of snake-like creatures was imprisoned, unable to budge an inch. They immediately lost their advantage in speed, allowing Lin Xun and the others to easily escape.

……

On the sixteenth day.

Lin Xun encountered an unexpected space-time storm and had to retreat temporarily. He anchored his ark far away and dared not to rashly advance.

They waited for seven days for the space-time storm to subside.

During those seven days, he made another breakthrough in his cultivation. He comprehended the fifth move of Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations—Suanni Qi!

……

On the thirty-third day.

Toady suddenly had enlightenment during his practice and decided to go into closed-door cultivation on the first floor of the Nameless Pagoda. He told Lin Xun that it would last at least one year, and at most three years.

In the following days, Lin Xun had to operate the ark by himself, navigating his way through the vast Spirit Burial Sea.

He stopped multiple times, experienced many dangers, and saw many incredible wonders and bizarre scenes.

The experience significantly tempered his state of mind and improved his understanding of the great dao, the world, and all things in the universe.

That was cultivation.

Working behind closed doors was a way of cultivation.

Traveling around the world was also a way of cultivation.

Knowledge, experience, appreciation and perception...all would change and be transformed in the process.

The transformation might appear to have no significant improvement to one’s cultivation, but it allowed a cultivator to go further on the path of the great dao.

During breakthroughs, it reduced the risk of being possessed by demons due to an unstable state of mind and lack of experience.

On the fifty-fourth day.

A gleam glowed in Lin Xun’s eyes. He sensed a change of aura between heaven and earth.

It was no longer as violent and fierce as before. The bizarre and oppressive atmosphere had also faded. He felt as though he had arrived in a world of spectacular mountains and beautiful rivers.

“We shouldn’t be far from the Ziyao Empire...” He heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lift off him.

How could he not feel emotional after almost two months of traveling on the Spirit Burial Sea?

He felt a new lease of life.

He let the ark drift along the sea with the waves.

He leaned back, resting head on his arms, and gazing at the sapphire sky.

The sky was so clear and vast that it seemed to have been washed. The seawater was blue and serene, stretching as far as the eye could see. The bright sun rays beamed down, bathing the water.

Occasionally, flocks of seabirds fluttered past, leaving clear and pleasant cries.

The scenery was picturesque and full of life.

Given Lin Xun’s remarkable perception, he had already sensed that no more danger in the sea area could threaten him.

He could completely relax now. His aura was concealed in his body like a dormant dragon. From the outside, no one would know that the handsome and elegant young man was the demon god youngster who had caused headaches to various clans in the Southern Sea.

He seemed more like a leisurely traveler drifting on the sea.

It had been a long time since he felt that at ease. The indescribable quietness and comfort made him feel especially tranquil and leisurely.

He had been through so many twists and turns ever since he entered the Spirit Burial Sea, so he had always been in a busy and tense state.

He finally had the rare opportunity to enjoy some quiet time.

“Huh?”

However, a burst of sonic booms broke his rare moment of tranquility.
