Chapter 694: Chapter 52 But It’s True [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Grr--"

There was suddenly a roaring sound akin to thunder from the boundless Ruins. The Ruins were large, with not many Sea Demons residing within, and thus it was rather sparse. Naturally, none of the Sea Demons heard it.

However, the Merfolk Tribe was extremely sensitive to this call. In no time at all, a Merfolk Singer arrived at the place and saw the Spirit Beast emitting this thunderous roar.

It was a golden frog standing upright on a high platform.

This high platform was specifically built for rituals, and whenever Mother Goddess had an edict, the golden frog would appear at this site.

"Messenger of the Golden Frog!" The mermaid maiden cried out in surprise, then began to burst into song. This was something every Merfolk would do when they saw the envoy of the Mother Goddess.

The singing voice of the Merfolk was piercing, able to penetrate the vast oceans and sky, attracting numerous sea demons from the Ruins to this place. They gathered around the central golden frog and began a conference.

Just as the Mermaid Maiden was about to undertake the command of Mother Goddess, a sudden shout came from afar, "This Golden Frog is fake!"

Upon hearing this, the young mermaid turned around and cried, "Princess?"

Indeed, the visitor was none other than the Merfolk Princess, Baozhu Liange.

"Just now, the real Golden Frog came to Merfolk Island and relayed its plight of being trapped," Princess Lian Ge ascended the high platform and declared loudly: "The Ruins Shenxu captured the real Golden Frog, fabricated this fake Golden Frog, conveyed a fraudulent message of war, causing us to throw the lives of our numerous Sea Demon brethren away for nothing! This is all a plot of the Mister Navy!"

Just as the group of sea demons below was still bewildered, wind sounded in the distance, followed by the mighty landing of a huge Golden Frog. It glowed golden all over, standing next to the fake Golden Frog, its large eyes bulging with rage.

The two Golden Frogs were identical, as if mirrored.

"All you need to do is feed them Spirit Plants, and see what treasures they spit out to know which one is real, and which one is fake," Princess Lian Ge said loudly.

Just as the sea demons were about to commence their verification, a call came from afar, "No need!"

The sea demons immediately made way.

The arrivals were none other than the Merfolk Queen and Mister Navy, both taking the lead, followed by their respective entourages.

Behind the Merfolk Queen were naturally the Merfolk Guards, and Mister Navy had with him his followers from Ruins Shenxu, each and every one fierce, with faces covered in murderous intent.

It could be seen that while the expression of the Merfolk Queen was aloof and cold, Mister Navy’s was filled with dark, suppressed rage... His expression was akin to returning home to find all his subordinates dead and the treasures in his house stolen.

"This matter was not Mister Navy’s doing, but a trap set by a Human Cultivator who wishes to stir up the South Sea," The Merfolk Queen looked at Princess Lian Ge, a flickering look of approval in her eyes.

Then, she turned around and pointed at the fake Golden Frog.

Whoosh--

A flash of brilliance appeared, and the fake Golden Frog suddenly emitted a painful coo. Its golden glow faded away, and it was transformed into an ugly toad stained with foul pus.

"Coo hah!" The toad, calm just a moment ago, was now panic-stricken at being exposed. It turned to look at Mister Navy.

Mister Navy only gave it a glance.

Bang--

The toad exploded and died. Dirty pus splattered everywhere, and the sea demons hurriedly avoided the mess.

"Dared to impersonate the Messenger of the God Mother," Mister Navy said in a low voice.

"Mother Goddess would never want her children to sacrifice their lives in vain! I hope such an incident never happens again!" the Merfolk Queen declared loudly.

Upon hearing this, the sea demons let out cheers.

Though the number of sea demons was large, the sacrifices they had to make to come ashore were also huge. The previous great battle had stained a vast sea area red. None of the sea creatures wished to throw their lives away.

Just at this moment of joy, the ground suddenly shook. A terrifying, colossal whirlwind rose in the distance, rampaging through the underground of the Ruins, turning all in its path into nothingness.

"Stop!" Mister Navy leaped forward, a sinister wave of air arose, halting the whirlwind on the spot, which revealed the figure of Chang Feng within.

"You are... the Great Lake Demon King?" Mister Navy confined his voice to ensure it could not be heard outside, then asked.

"That’s me," Chang Feng chuckled maliciously, "We fought till death at the Yunque Temple for you, yet you want to swallow our treasures? There’s no such good thing."

"Didn’t I notify you and clarify everything? After I returned, everything had already ended. All of my subordinates I left behind to watch the house were also killed," said Mister Navy furiously.

He was very angry too.

His original plan had been going well, but it was suddenly disrupted by Wu Chao. He was severely chastised and strictly ordered not to continue this matter. Upon returning home, he found the bodies of his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, along with demon blood from the Far West Demon Clan all over the place.

Everything was ruined, nothing was left.

And now, he was about to be ambushed.

"Heh," Chang Feng disdained, "Would you believe such an excuse if it was told to you?"

"I wouldn’t believe..."

There was helpless frustration, anger, bitterness and slight killing intent in Mister Navy’s voice. If he could lay his hands on the perpetrator, he would definitely dismember them.

"But it’s true!"

...

"Ah-choo!"

Chu Liang sat upright on the deck, facing the wind. He sneezed and then continued to meditate with his eyes closed, unconcerned.

Of course, he had already discussed the matter of Ruins Shenxu with Princess Lian Ge. If they, the human cultivators, were to intervene, things would become more complicated. It would be simpler to say that Golden Frog returned on her own and announced the truth at a ceremonial occasion.

They should only mention the conspiracy of the Ruins Shenxu, so as to prevent the sea demons from dying in vain. They must not mention the intent to revive the God Mother.

This way, the war could be prevented.

If they were to bring up the matter of reviving the God Mother, it might inadvertently rally the unwavering faith of the sea demons, turning the situation into a pre-war mobilization meeting.

Chu Liang was certain that Mister Navy would not dare to disclose this matter to the public.

By temporarily settling the unrest in the Southern Sea, they could enjoy a peaceful journey home on the Liang Longhao, without having to worry about any lingering matters.

However, upon leaving, they received shocking news from the circle of immortal friends: the Qingqiu Demon King and the Great Lake Demon King had attacked the Yunque Temple, causing significant damage.

No wonder the Law Lotus Platform that had been suppressing the Southern Sea had left, so that was the reason.

In his mind, Chu Liang began to outline a deal made by the two groups of demonic tribes: the Bi Bozhan and a rescue mission in exchange for the Demon Pot of Devouring Sea.

The Demon Pot of Devouring Sea contains the Dao of Devouring. Could it be that the Far West Demon Clan is also attempting to resurrect the Demon God?

But, wasn’t it said that the Demon God isn’t dead yet?

Could it just be a bluff by the demonic clan?

What are the benefits of spreading false news and becoming the target of public criticism?

Or maybe they have another purpose for this magic artifact.

After a little thought, Chu Liang decided to focus on his own affairs first.

He took out a spirit plant from the jade box, consumed it, circulated his energy a little, and then exhaled.

Done.

Broke through.

After several days of sedimentation, he had advanced to the fifth stage of the Five Elements Realm. With a further period of cultivation stability, he could reach the peak of the Five Elements Realm.

Normally, the step of condensing the Dharma Body is a major challenge, but he already possesses the Dark Winged Divine Dragon Dharma Body, fully trained to an optimal degree.

By the time he approaches the threshold, breaking through will only take a moment.

It’s as if he’s already defeated the final boss before fighting small monsters to gain experience. The final victory is only a matter of time.

After breaking through, he projected his divine sense into the White Pagoda again. By now, there were three golden marks inside.

Shrimp Soldiers, Crab Generals, Cat Demon.

It’s time for a delightful triple reward.

He excitedly approached and refined the mark of the first Shrimp Head Spirit Demon. Boom, a ray of light came out, Chu Liang caught it, and a piece of information was also transmitted into his mind.

[Red Demonic Helmet]:

A strong helmet that combines the divine uniqueness and aesthetics. When put on, it can extend the range of one’s divine sense by ten times and enhance its penetrative power. The helmet is recommended for exploration, battle, and surveillance scenarios, and not recommended for improper uses.

In Chu Liang’s hands was an oddly shaped helmet.

"Combining the divine uniqueness and aesthetics..." He muttered speechlessly.

The shape of the helmet was like a freshly chopped shrimp head, with its insides hollowed out, and the outer shell made into a helmet. If the head of a shrimp were as big as a human’s head, that would be quite terrifying, resembling a demon of some sort.

Chu Liang tried it on. Although his entire face was covered, the pair of golden orbs on the helmet immediately erected, and a surge of spirituality was channeled into his spiritual platform.

Indeed, his divine sense was greatly enhanced.

Whew——

In an instant, the entire White Pagoda became clearer in his mind.

The few dolls busy in smoke, Tuntun who had turned into a cocoon, the seemingly endless iron cells in the darkness... and he became a man with a shrimp head.

All appeared in the images transmitted by his divine sense. If he were outside, this range would be much broader.

Not bad.

Aside from its advanced aesthetic, the effects were quite good.

"Huh?"

Chu Liang, who was inspecting the White Pagoda with his strengthened divine sense, noticed a tiny detail he had never discovered before. On the wall of the White Pagoda, there was a small dark spot.

On closer inspection, it seemed to be a crack, possibly smaller than a needle. But it existed so tangibly there, as if leading to the outside.

The White Pagoda, ever since its inception, has always been mysterious and powerful in Chu Liang’s mind, holding up to the Top Ten Divine Artifacts in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record.

What could possibly penetrate it?

Incredulous.
