304: Chapter 304 The Boundless Sea, the Submissive Shark Beast

Chu Sheng plummeted from ten thousand miles in the sky, the wind whistling shrilly in his ears.

The sea surface drew closer, rushing toward him like a massive blue mirror.

His spiritual power was nearly exhausted; his Dao Palace was cracked, his Dantian shattered, and he couldn't even perform the most basic flight.

He could only watch helplessly as he smashed toward the sea surface.

"Splash—"

The seawater swallowed him, the immense impact causing his internal organs to churn.

He sank dozens of feet before stabilizing his figure.

The seawater was bone-chillingly cold, and the salty water rushed into his mouth and nose, making him cough violently.

Gritting his teeth, he summoned the sea-suppressing cauldron from his Dantian and lay atop it.

The body of the cauldron was warm, isolating him from the coldness of the seawater.

Chu Sheng floated to the surface, gasping for air.

He looked around; it was sea on all sides, with no end in sight.

He recalled the Boundless Sea from the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's memories—the ocean between the Northern Region and the Central Region, vast, boundless, and extremely perilous.

According to the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's memories, the ruins of the Mermaid race should be nearby.

But that was ten thousand years ago; he didn't know if they still existed.

He only knew that he couldn't stay in this place for long.

Elder Xuesong would soon discover he had escaped, and with the Elder's cultivation, covering thousands of miles with his Divine Sense was not a problem.

Once Elder Xuesong locked onto his location, he wouldn't be able to run.

But upon second thought, the Boundless Sea stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles; him falling here alone was like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

For Elder Xuesong to find him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chu Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But soon, his expression changed again.

On the sea surface not far away, several black dorsal fins were swimming toward him.

Shark Demons.

Not ordinary sharks, but Yao Beasts.

Chu Sheng's Divine Sense swept over them, and his expression grew increasingly ugly.

Spirit Spring, Spirit Lake, Sea Opening... the largest one was in the Spirit Nurturing Realm.

Their eyes were blood-red, and they kept their mouths open, revealing sharp teeth, as if waiting to be fed.

Chu Sheng was furious.

"The sharks of Nancun bully me for being weak and old!" he cursed.

In his current state, he couldn't even defeat a Cultivator in the Spirit Sea Realm.

A Shark Demon in the Spirit Nurturing Realm was like a mountain to him.

But fortunately, the strongest one was only in the Spirit Nurturing Realm, not the Dao Completion Realm.

If it were in the Dao Completion Realm, he would really be in trouble.

He still had the sea-suppressing cauldron and the zhu xian sword.

Although his spiritual power was almost gone, his Magical Artifacts remained.

Chu Sheng summoned the sea-suppressing cauldron from his Dantian; the cauldron enlarged, and bronze light flowed across its body.

He aimed the mouth of the cauldron at the largest Shark Demon and said in a low voice: "Come here."

The sea-suppressing cauldron emitted a low hum, and an invisible force surged from the cauldron, enveloping the Shark Demon.

The Shark Demon's body stiffened, and its blood-red eyes became dazed.

Like a tamed dog, it swam obediently in front of Chu Sheng and lowered its head.

Chu Sheng climbed onto the Shark Demon's back, sat behind its dorsal fin, and patted its head.

"Good. Take me away from here."

The Shark Demon wagged its tail and swam toward the distance.

The other Shark Demons followed behind like guards.

Chu Sheng sat on the Shark Demon's back, the sea breeze blowing against his face, feeling cool.

He looked down at the massive Shark Demon beneath him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect the sea-suppressing cauldron to have this effect."

He had seen it in the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's Legacy: the sea-suppressing cauldron was the ancestral treasure of the Mermaid race; not only could it suppress the Sea Eye, but it could also command all beasts in the sea.

But he didn't expect that it could even command a Shark Demon in the Spirit Nurturing Realm.

The Shark Demon swam very fast, faster than he could fly himself.

Chu Sheng sat cross-legged on the shark's back and began to check his Storage Pouch.

His expression grew increasingly ugly.

The Heaven And Earth Treasure were all gone.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor's collection, Sloth's treasury, and his own savings accumulated over more than a decade—all of it had been swindled by Elder Xuesong.

The Storage Pouch was empty, with only a few changes of Daoist robes and a few jugs of wine left.

Chu Sheng was so angry he gritted his teeth.

"That old thing... it wasn't enough to steal my zhu xian sword, he even emptied out my entire fortune!"

He cursed a few times, then sighed.

Fortunately, the core items were still there.

The zhu xian sword, not a single one missing.

The sea-suppressing cauldron was also there.

The wendao bell was in his Dantian, and his Luck was still there.

The Many Children, Many Blessings trait was also there.

As long as these were here, he had the capital to make a comeback.

He looked down at the Shark Demon beneath him and kicked it again.

"Hurry up. Don't dawdle."

The Shark Demon aggrievedly wagged its tail and accelerated.

It was probably thinking: I, a dignified overlord of the sea in the Spirit Nurturing Realm, am actually being ridden as a mount and even kicked.

But it dared not resist.

The power of the sea-suppressing cauldron was suppressing it, so it could only obey obediently.

Chu Sheng looked up into the distance.

Where the sea met the sky, a hint of green could be faintly seen.

That was an island.

He needed to find a place to rest, recover his spiritual power, and repair his Dao Palace.

He couldn't go on like this.

Old Grandfather exchanged his life for his, so he couldn't waste it.

He had to return alive.

The Shark Demon swam faster and faster, with the shark pack closely following behind.

On the sea surface, sunlight spilled onto the waves, shimmering with golden light.

Chu Sheng squinted, watching the patch of green getting closer and closer, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.

He didn't know if he would be able to leave the Boundless Sea alive.
