Ch. 129 - Sea Sacrificial Ceremony, Demon God

The voice was getting closer and closer, and in the end, it bounced through the palace wall and fell in Ji Yuenian's ear!

"Senior Brother Ji!"

The voice of resentment resounded deep in his soul. Ji Yuenian slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a beautiful and pretty little face.

Azure blue hair cascaded down her shoulder as Yu Yan pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Ji, the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony will commence in three days, don't sleep anymore."

Following her words, there was a pure blue light flickered in the hall, and it seemed as if the heaven and earth were following its rhythm.

He found that it had already been several days and nights.

Ji Yuenian stood up slowly, and unconsciously followed Yu Yan out of Yuting Palace, raised his head, and looked up at the vast water curtain beside the North Sea.

The blue light that reflected the heaven and the earth shone on top of this water curtain.

The Earth Realm was located on the outskirts of the Beiju Continent, bordering the boundless Northern Sea. Prior to several catastrophic calamities, it was once part of a larger region along with several surrounding desolate realms, known as the Luoshui Sea Realm.

The North Sea, which runs through the sky, had been undergoing drastic changes for an unknown number of years. The towering waves on its surface reach tens of thousands of feet high, carrying an unparalleled calamitous force. If allowed to continue, the forming colossal waves could eventually devastate a large portion of the Beiju Continent.

Despite the arrival of several upper-level deities from the 33 Heavens and the Xuanhai Heaven, the flood in the Northern Sea remained unresolved. After consultation among the upper-level deities, they collectively went to meet the Heavenly King Duowen, who oversaw the Beiju Continent, and eventually invited him to the Luoshui Sea Realm.

Although Heavenly King Duowen stopped the flood, he could not restore the Northern Sea to its original state, so he had to set up a veil of mist covering the sky on the bank of the Northern Sea, so that the creatures in the Luoshui Sea Realm would go forward and sacrifice to it, generation after generation.

After the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony every ten thousand years, the cultivation system in the Luoshui Sea Realm would collapse, and 90% of the living beings would be wiped out. It had been like this for countless years.

"Do you know that these records are actually just a hoax?"

Yu Yan stood beside Ji Yuenian, looking at the monstrous water curtain glowing with blue light, and said softly, "The creatures after the sacrifices all dissipated between heaven and the earth, but have you ever thought that where does these all souls go?"

Ji Yuenian glanced at her and said, "The Dragon Palace in the Northern Sea."

After he said those words, the whole world seemed to be quiet for a moment.

In the dark, it seemed that there were ancient eyes staring from unknown places.

For the first time, Yu Yan showed a very obvious look of shock, and said, “You ..."

Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, and said, "There's no need to deliberately play tricks on me. If my predictions are correct, there won't be any floods at all. The so-called catastrophe and floods should be just a conflict between Xuanhai Heaven and the Northern Sea’s Dragon Palace."

The Heavenly Court had 33 Heavens, and the second heaven was Xuanhai Heaven, which nominally controlled the Eastern Sea, Western Sea, Southern Sea, and Northern Sea sides of the four major continents.

But the four seas had long been governed by the extremely noble Dragon Palace, and the four seas’ Dragon Palace had its own background and backing in the heavenly courts.

"How can you guess these arcane secrets?"

Yu Yan had a complete change of expression. Her pretty face was only a foot away from Ji Yuenian, and she gazed at him pointedly.

Ji Yuenian was more sure of his guess, he calmed down a little, glanced at the girl, and said, "Don't play tricks with me anymore, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to revive the God of Luoshui, integrate more than ten land realms on the banks of the Northern Sea, and regain control of the Luoshui Sea Realm!"

The girl had lost Yu Yan's appearance at that time, revealing her true face.

The frost like white hair was several feet long, dancing and fluttering behind her.

Dressed in jet-black, with bare feet hovering in the air, that girl was actually of an extremely rare divine bloodline.

The gods of heaven and earth who had never opened a shrine couldn’t give birth to blood descendants at all, but everything in the world had never been absolute. Under some extremely harsh environments, even imperial gods who had never opened a shrine might have children.

Beside the two of them, the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony had started.

Ji Yuenian knew that these were scenes from several eons ago, so he didn't look at them, and said to the barefoot girl, "The Luoshui Sea Realm has long been annihilated in the long river of time, you are too naive."

"I've waited for so long, and finally I've found someone who is destined to enter Luoshui's divine seal." The long snow-white hair fluttered behind the barefoot girl, and her pale eyes were filled with unquestionable dignity. “If you don’t do what I say, I will directly kill you within the divine seal.”

Ji Yuenian laughed a little, and said, "If I don't listen to your orders, I will be killed; but if I listen to your words, I will end up more miserable."

The barefoot girl's complexion changed several times in succession, but in the end she forcibly suppressed the killing intent towards Ji Yuenian deep in her heart, and said, "It is rare for someone who can enter the Luoshui Divine Seal, but I can afford to wait."

"If you could afford to wait, you wouldn't be so impatient to take me into the illusion of the divine seal," Ji Yuenian seemed to see through the girl's thoughts, and there was no trace of fear or panic in his eyes. "Previously, you wanted to confuse me, but unfortunately your acting skills are too clumsy, obviously you have never really dealt with living beings before."

"You want to die?!"

The girl's black dress danced wildly, and a moon-white aura directly suppressed Ji Yuenian, throwing him into the increasingly violent and monstrous sea.

...

"How could this happen?"

Chen Yanshou looked dignified, and sat down with Daozi Qiongyu separately, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness Daozi, is it true that the third Holy Son Candidate of the Taiyu Holy Sect has disappeared?"

Qiongyu Daozi nodded, with some doubts still evident in his expression. He said, "I was cultivating at that time, and I suddenly lost the aura of Daoist Ji Yuenian, and when I was looking for him, I couldn’t find a single trace of him."

Chen Yanshou couldn't help standing up, walked back and forth in the hall, and said, "Could it be that those evil gods attacked and killed him? But, this is the ancestral land of my Chen family, with the Supreme Elder in charge. No evil gods should be so presumptuous."

Chen Yanyang, the Grand Elder of the Chen family, had broken into the Divine Sea Realm, and the status of many relatives who were close to him in the Chen family had also risen. Chen Yanshou was one of them.

Qiongyu Daozi thought for a moment, and said, "Elder Yanshou, it’s not too late, please let me have an audience with the Supreme Elder, and report this matter, so that he can sense throughout Cui Ri, and see if he can find the trail of Brother Ji Yuenian."

Chen Yanshou looked distressed, and said slowly, "After the Supreme Elder broke into the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm, he became more and more powerful. He just killed several descendants of the Chen family casually a few days ago, and he even passed down an oral order not to allow anyone to see him. Even though I am a relative of his clan, I dare not take such a risk."

"If something really happened to Daoist Ji Yuenian, do you think the Taiyu Holy Sect will not pursue the Chen family for an answer?" Daozi Qiongyu snorted coldly. "Although I am not a member of the Taiyu Holy Sect, I too know that the weight of the words behind a Holy Son Candidate."
