Chapter 2888: Chapter 1344: Well, You Wretched Creature_2
But just because you can’t do anything now doesn’t mean there won’t be a way in the future.
Through this incident, Chen Mobai realized that Fu Hai True Monarch was a petty person. In the future, they wouldn’t be on the same path, so it was best to plant a pawn beside him to locate him anytime in situations beyond control.
Therefore, Zhao Nancheng couldn’t be killed just yet.
Considering the characteristics of the Heart Demon Great Method and Fu Hai True Monarch’s lack of a physical body, Chen Mobai even anticipated that Fu Hai True Monarch might attack his disciple Zhao Nancheng after leaving for the Great Dao.
If that happens, relying on the traits of the Primordial Demon Talisman, even if Fu Hai True Monarch ascends, he wouldn’t escape from Chen Mobai’s grasp.
“Here’s the deal, if you can retrieve the corpse of Ancestor Black Dragon, I’ll give you this favor.” However, Chen Mobai remained expressionless on the surface, indicating his displeasure with Zhao Nancheng’s actions.
“Alright!”
Fu Hai True Monarch gritted his teeth and agreed.
He originally planned to use his fishing line to retrieve half of the contents of the Sea Eye Cave he discovered, not only to preserve his strength but also out of reluctance to let Chen Mobai acquire the corpse of Ancestor Black Dragon.
After all, this junior already has extraordinary strength, and if he obtains the Seventh Rank Innate Water Element materials and sacrifices them to the Primordial Clock, he would be even harder to deal with in the future.
But now for Zhao Nancheng’s sake, he couldn’t hold back.
Just as Fu Hai True Monarch began fishing items from the Sea Eye using his fishing line, Chen Mobai signaled Spiritual Venerable for assistance to make Zhao Nancheng stand up and shake off, using divine sense to ensure he was not hiding anything else, before allowing the little Flood Dragon to tally the treasures again before safely gathering them.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, only with your Artifact Refining Technique can these Heavenly And Earthly Treasures’ effects be maximized. Unfortunately, when I became Dragon King, I didn’t have the Sea Suppressing Bead to enter the Sea Eye, otherwise, I would have carried these treasures to the Eastern Wilderness to offer you a century ago.”
The little Flood Dragon was willing to sacrifice its dignity to stay alive.
This made Zhao Nancheng feel extremely contemptuous on the side, yet with his life threatened by the hands of Spiritual Venerable, he dared not speak a word, even lowering his head silently praying for his master’s speed.
Soon, various items from the depths of the Sea Eye were fished out with the line, confirming Fu Hai True Monarch’s speculation—they were indeed bones.
These were True Spirits of the Demon Tribe in the Mysterious Sea, who came here after reaching their limit without being able to ascend.
In the Mysterious Sea, there has always been a legend that all ancestors of living beings were born in the Sea Eye, and entering it allows True Spirit Bloodline to return to the most pure Innate Realm.
And facts show it’s not merely rumor.
The bones of the Demon Tribe True Spirits in the Mysterious Sea remained skeletal over countless ages, yet appeared jade-like and emitted varied Dao Rhythms.
Chen Mobai and Spiritual Venerable studied the bones fished by Fu Hai True Monarch and shared their opinions on the situation.
Spiritual Venerable: [These beings were at least Fifth Rank Peak True Spirits during their lives, their flesh untouched, entering the Sea Eye with highly concentrated Power of the Great Dao, the bones post-mortem refined into Dao Essence due to Sea Eye Power.]
Chen Mobai: [Based on my experience, True Spirits, even at Sixth Rank, will have their Dao Rhythm gradually fade over time post-mortem. Yet some of these bones date back tens of thousands of years, and their Power of the Great Dao crystallized like Spiritual Objects due to the Sea Eye’s unique environment.]
Qing Nu listened to their discussion, having graduated from Jumang Academy and was top of her biological studies class. However, due to Immortal Gate restrictions, her research above Rank-4 life forms was blank, only gaining some insights in Tianhe Realm thanks to its unparalleled resources.
So despite having some views, she dared not speak.
“These two are both Water Attribute creatures, I’ll take them for study.”
Spiritual Venerable pointed at the fish-dragon shaped bones in front of him and the empty turtle shell Fu Hai True Monarch just retrieved.
“These are not of much use to me. If the senior needs them, feel free to take them all.”
Chen Mobai pointed to numerous demonic beast bones on the ground and said generously.
“Looks like I’ve hooked something long—it might be Ancestor Black Dragon!”
At this moment, Fu Hai True Monarch excitedly said, and Chen Mobai and Spiritual Venerable immediately approached, looking at the taut clear fishing line deep in the Sea Eye.
With Fu Hai True Monarch’s Primordial Spirit illuminating, the fishing line wrapped around his palm was rotated by a formidable force, slowly but firmly dragging a pitch-black elongated skeleton out of the Sea Eye.
This was a black dragon skeleton, just extracted, causing tremors in the surrounding Mysterious Flood Dragon Clan graveyard, the little Flood Dragon and Zhao Nancheng even felt suppressed by their bloodlines, involuntarily compelled to worship the skeleton.
“Only Sixth Rank…”
Upon inspection, Chen Mobai looked disappointed.
Though the black dragon skeleton emits strong Dao Rhythm, it wasn’t of Seventh Rank level.
“Do you recognize it?”
Chen Mobai turned to ask the little Flood Dragon, who scrutinized it uncertainly and shook his head: “Reporting to the Emperor, before the ascendance rule existed, many of our Sixth Rank ancestors close to lifespan’s end would follow in the Ancestor’s footsteps, entering the Sea Eye. This might be one of them.”
After speaking, Fu Hai True Monarch successfully used the fishing line to catch another elongated skeleton, revealing it as another Sixth Rank black dragon skeleton after much effort.
After retrieving three skeletons, Fu Hai True Monarch’s Primordial Spirit was dim, indicating he needed a rest.
Even with the Sea Suppressing Bead protection, consistently pulling skeletons from the Sea Eye required combating Sea Eye Power, consuming significant energy at Void Refining Realm.
“I see senior’s map, not many caves left, why not retrieve them all at once, saving your disciple from persistent anxiety?”
Chen Mobai pointed at Zhao Nancheng bound by Spiritual Venerable’s Wind Great Dao, hanging in the Huge Kun’s mouth, indicating prior shaking actions hadn’t released him.
Fu Hai True Monarch’s mouth twitched at the sight, but seeing the newly emboldened Spiritual Venerable with two Sixth Rank Artifacts by his gaze, he could only sigh, continuing to reluctantly guide the fishing line towards the last few caves he explored.
“My friend, Ancestor Black Dragon could harmonize with the Dao before. If it entered the deepest Sea Eye, my mere Void Refining skills render retrieval nearly impossible…”
Fu Hai True Monarch had initially exaggerated when coming out, but now his words reflected truth.
The gap between Void Refining stages is astronomical.
Despite years of confinement accelerating cultivation progress, Fu Hai True Monarch barely reached Void Refining early-stage peak.
He sensed Ancestor Black Dragon might have reached the deepest Sea Eye.
There resides world-forming Creation Power beyond his daring reach.
“In that case, your disciple might need to endure some hardship…”
As Chen Mobai spoke, he glanced at Zhao Nancheng, who was enraged yet dared not retort, afraid of being slain by the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor, pleadingly looking at Fu Hai True Monarch for further resilience.
“Alas…”
Fu Hai True Monarch considered a suitable body hard to cultivate and could only attempt one last time.
