52: Chapter 11: In the heart of the Changhai Sea, the Water Nightmare descends!

In the center of the Long Sea, giant waves rolled, and the seawater was as blue as a gemstone, crystal clear, as if hiding infinite beauty.

It was also Zi Ling's first time controlling a spirit boat in such an environment.

In an instant, the spirit boat began to rock violently.

Chen Xuan grasped a Spirit Stone to recover his mana, while telling himself over and over in his heart not to panic.

Today's fortune is [Minor Ominous], so it definitely won't be a life-or-death danger.

"My mana is almost exhausted," Zi Ling said, her lips trembling.

"Eat this."

Chen Xuan suddenly stood in front of Zi Ling.

Zi Ling opened her mouth and swallowed it with difficulty.

Instantly, a warm current surged from her Dantian, and mana began to regenerate in waves.

It was actually a Medium Grade mana recovery Medicinal Pill!

Zi Ling's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to turn back.

"Focus!" Chen Xuan reprimanded.

Zi Ling immediately perked up and focused on piloting the spirit boat.

The Wang family Cultivators behind them were in hot pursuit, "This is the central region of the Long Sea; if you don't surrender now, be careful of being swallowed in one bite by a Long Sea Yao Beast."

The Long Sea is boundless, and most powerful Yao Beasts live in the central and core regions.

And according to historical records of the Southern Region, someone once saw the True Spirit Kunpeng!

"Elder, we cannot drag this out any longer! A few juniors at the early stage of Qi Refining are darting around like rats, relying on their spirit boat!"

"If we wander any longer, we will definitely encounter a Tier 2 Great Yao Beast!"

Urged by the two, the white-clad Cultivator's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and unleashed a secret technique.

Chen Xuan's Dharma Eye [Heaven-Stealing Foundation] immediately captured this detail.

"Not good! These Wang family Cultivators are desperate; I'm afraid they are about to unleash some secret technique."

"Wang Ni, activate the Talisman with me, full defense."

Chen Xuan handed over a Gold-element Medium Grade Talisman [Golden Light Shield], and combined with the Earth-element Medium Grade Talisman [Earth Dao Kun] in his hand, two floating light shields instantly enveloped the spirit boat.

Just as the Talismans solidified, a giant blood-red hand descended from the sky.

The palm did not hit the fast-moving spirit boat, but the fingertips still touched it.

Almost instantly, the Golden Light Shield shattered upon impact.

The next moment, the Earth Dao Kun also shattered.

Boom!

The outer rear of the spirit boat was instantly pulverized, causing it to slow down immediately.

Raging water was about to pour in within the blink of an eye.

It's over!

Chen Xuan's heart went cold, and the two women were so terrified their Faces turned pale, already preparing to commit suicide in their hearts.

If they fell into the hands of these three Wang family Cultivators, it would truly be a fate worse than death.

"Kill!"

The Wang family Cultivators immediately flew over, their eyes blood-red, laughing brutally, "Hehehe! I will torture you to death!"

Just as Chen Xuan was at his wit's end, a sudden change occurred!

Splashing sounds!

The seawater churned, kicking up waves, as a robust figure appeared like a gale, making a fierce entrance with a storm!

"Roar!"

A piercing roar resounded in mid-air, and a sense of great terror, great fear, and great despair instantly spread.

Everyone's hair stood on end, feeling instinctive fear.

The figure gradually became clear; a burly ape carrying a staff broke through the water and approached.

"Water Nightmare!"

The Wang family Cultivators and Chen Xuan's trio all exclaimed!

Almost instantly, seeing that green-faced, fanged creature carrying a giant staff, their hearts turned cold.

The aura of the Great Yao Beast made all six of them suffocate.

Zi Ling was frozen in fear.

Chen Xuan shook off the aura suppression, immediately pressed down on her shoulders, and shoved her hard, "Go!"

Mana aggressively surged through Zi Ling's arms into the helm, and the spirit boat creaked, quickly fleeing.

"Wang Ni, plug the gap!"

"Okay!"

At this moment, the three Wang family members, who were the first to be targeted by the Water Nightmare, were nearly scared out of their wits.

"Roar!" The Water Nightmare let out a roar, and its bloody maw swallowed one of the Wang clansmen.

Seeing that things were bad, the white-clad Cultivator finally broke free from the control, kicked his fellow clansman away, and prepared to drive the flying boat.

Who would have thought that this Water Nightmare was unaffected; it struck with a palm from several zhang away, shattering the spirit boat, and even folded the white-clad Cultivator in half.

A Tier 2 Great Yao Beast is terrifying to this extent.

After swallowing the Wang clansmen one by one, it immediately rushed toward Chen Xuan and his group.

Wang Ni complained with tears on her Face, "It's over, it's over, first the Wang family bandit Cultivators, and then the Water Nightmare!"

"We're dead, we're dead!"

Chen Xuan withdrew his mana, and Zi Ling continued to pilot the spirit boat.

The spirit boat was damaged, and its speed had dropped by at least thirty percent.

They were now rushing toward the outer reaches of the Long Sea, but the roaring sound behind them was getting closer.

The Water Nightmare's fierce reputation is well known.

No one wants to die; if they can live one more second, they will live one more second!

"What do we do?"

Zi Ling muttered, her gaze involuntarily turning to Chen Xuan.

Is there any way?

Now he is the only man left!

The scene at this moment was actually somewhat comical: two at Qi Refining Stage 3 looking at one at Qi Refining Stage 2.

Chen Xuan only said indifferently, "Don't stop."

These three ordinary words, spoken from that ordinary mouth, seemed exceptionally valuable.

Sure enough, the two women, as if having taken a reassurance pill, executed Chen Xuan's order.

But the sound of the waves behind them was getting closer, as if they could swallow this small boat at any moment.

In front of the vast ocean, the three of them appeared too insignificant.

This is the ocean, boundless and vast, far wider than the land, nurturing the greatest miracles in the world.

"Ah~" A melodious singing voice faintly appeared on the sea surface.

This singing was sometimes melodious and pleasant, sometimes miserable and heartbreaking, piercing straight through the sound of the waves and appearing in their ears.

Not far ahead was the dividing line between the blue central region and the light blue region.

At this juncture, Wang Ni really couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Yun, did you hear that?"

But she saw Chen Xuan and Zi Ling both nodding.

So it wasn't an illusion.

Alarm bells rang in their hearts; in the world of cultivation, when things are abnormal, there must be a reason.

But with the singing, the waves behind them gradually calmed down.

But the two women involuntarily began to walk toward the outside of the spirit boat.

Chen Xuan immediately activated [Heaven-Stealing Foundation], and sure enough, he saw a blue thread manipulating their minds through the music.

Mana gathered, sword light flew out and circled once.

Both women suddenly woke up, greatly shocked in their hearts.

What on earth happened!

Actually, actually! They had lost their minds and were being controlled to go into the sea.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yun." Wang Ni's eyes changed completely; she performed a Wanfu gesture with her hands and bowed deeply.

From initial indifference to importance, and now to awe.

Zi Ling couldn't let go of her Face, but still learned to perform a Wanfu, "Thanks!"

She was not an ungrateful person, but this ordinary-looking little man in front of her, who had been obedient day and night, had suddenly become capable.

Truly, one must look at a scholar with new eyes after three days of separation.

At this moment, the sky was dim, stars filled the sky, and a full moon hung high.

The sea surface reflected the moon over the sea, and the three of them sat in the spirit boat, enjoying the tranquility.

Except for the hole in the stern that kept leaking water, which was a bit of an eyesore.

The rest of the journey back to Biling Lake was smooth and calm.

The three of them reported the trip together, and after a full half-day of questioning, they were allowed to leave.

When the sun rises, forget about yesterday.

Chen Xuan felt relaxed; having successfully survived the danger, he called out, "wordless heavenly book, rise!"

The golden Talismans filling the sky quickly condensed into three heavenly secret jade slips.
