Western Sea, Mount Zi.
In the archipelago, there was a palace that was like a mountain range. The palace was near the sea, and more than a dozen human-faced bird-shaped boats were docked at the harbor. Outside the palace were guards. The defenses were tight, as if this was a city-state.
This was none other than the location of the Western Sea God’s cult.
Although Xu Fu believed that Li Hezi had relied on the opening of the Register Of Deities and borrowed the power of the Divine Name of the Immemorial Royal Family’s Western Sea God Yan Zi to pretend to her might in order to commit his heinous acts of piracy, in truth, the master of this Western Sea God Palace was none other than the Western Sea God herself, Yan Zi.
Yan Zi appeared attractive and charming, like a boyish hero. Her brows were sharp, her eyes like stars, with red lips and pure white teeth. Her hair was tied with a snake-like ribbon, and her whole body was covered by a magnificent coat that seemed to be made of purple feathers.
She sat upright upon a tall throne, her entire being emanating a languid aura.
There were seven or eight male and female cultivators below the throne, each with Golden Core Realm strength.
“Reporting to Lord God, as you have foreseen, the Shaman Spirit Kingdom’s Immortality Banquet has begun. Many nations and cultivators have come to attend. In accordance with Lord God’s orders, anyone who is not a High Ancient Divine Name is required to pay tribute in order to cross the sea.” A female cultivator with a monster seagull perched on her shoulder deferentially made her report to Yan Zi.
“However, they actually made many complaints.”
The woman on the throne fiddled with a light blue crystal-like serpent in her hand. She sneered: “Complaints? Just kill them if they resist.”
“With Lord God’s Calamity Of Shoal Wind, making them pay tribute to cross the sea was already a favor by Lord God. They truly do not recognize their luck.” A Golden Core Fifth Trigram man shut his eyes and scoffed.
“Lord God can be completely merciless and kill them all.”
“Hmph, this matter cannot be done too too aggressively, otherwise the Shaman Spirit Kingdom’s Ten Shamans will appear. This God feels that would be bothersome. This is for the best. Firstly, they had done so voluntarily. Secondly, this shows This God’s benevolence. This God will also attend the Immortality Banquet and obtain the Immortality Pill. This God does not want to ruin the mood.” The woman spoke, her voice low.
“Xia Yun,1 why has Li Hezi not returned yet?”
“We acolytes move independently. I would not know why he has yet to return.” The female cultivator named Xia Yun held her sleeves and disdainfully answered.
“Is Li Hezi not your lover? We already know about your dual cultivation.” The Golden Core Fifth Trigram Realm man calmly said.
“Fuyunzi,2 how dare you utter such nonsense before Lord God!” The female cultivator’s expression chilled.
Just at this moment, Yan Zi suddenly frowned, her indolent mood abruptly gone. It was like an enormous abyss had engulfed this place. The Golden Core cultivators were all quiet out of fear. A fire-light entered the “Western Sea God Palace,” striking like lightning.
The woman extended a slender finger, and that crimson lightning stopped on her fingertip. It was a scarlet snake, Chilian.
Yan Zi had raised two Primordial “Chilian” snakes, her treasures. Because Li Hezi wanted to intercept the Ancient Qin Empire’s Immortality Boat, Yan Zi had lent him the two snakes. She even gave him a Deity Talisman to use. This formation would have left even Ying Zheng with no choice but to capitulate, but this Chilian that returned was covered in wounds and cut a very sorry figure.
Everyone stared at each other.
“Lord God, what has happened?”
“Hm?” Yan Zi gently stroke the Chilian snake’s head. Her fingertip was gentle and meticulous. The Chilian snake first felt calm, then it suddenly felt pain. The essence-blood in its body was completely absorbed by the woman’s fingertip, and the snake instantly became a desiccated corpse.
“Huh?” Seeing the treasure that their Lord God had usually loved so dearly be killed in the blink of an eye, the cultivators were all stunned.
“Li Hezi has already died.” Yan Zi threw the Chilian to the light blue snake as feed. The two Chilian snakes were one; if one was dead, the other was also useless.
“How is this possible, Li Hezi had a Deity Talisman, who could have killed him.”
“En…There is an interesting young man and an interesting Divine Name.” Yan Zi had already sensed everything that happened.
“It seems This God must take action personally.”
Yan Zi rose. A vortex-like hole seemed to open behind her, sucking in all of the air inside the palace. Everyone felt pressure as well as the fury of their god. By the time they came to their senses, the Western Sea God Yan Zi had already vanished from the hall.
…
The wind was still, the waves calm, and the seas were a boundless expanse.
After passing through the calamity of shoal wind, the pleasant weather was simply refreshing. Standing on the deck and facing the ocean breeze, Qi Lin looked at the beautiful scene of “fish leaping out of the wide ocean,” his entire body exceptionally relaxed.
“How is Qi Qi?” Wang Jian softly asked.
“She’s still hibernating. She’ll wake in a few days.” Qi Lin indicated there was no need to worry about her. Qi Qi honestly loathed water too much, so she entered her Invested Deity state. Otherwise, that mysterious girl would not have had to intervene. Given Qi Qi’s irascible nature, everything would have been settled with one swing of the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s staff.
Wang Jian was a bit worried about her condition, “Is she still capable of going to the Eastern Sea to search for her Divine Weapon in this state?”
“We’ll know when the time comes. I’ll do all that I can, for this is my duty.” Qi Lin was full of confidence.
“I think she is very fortunate to have a big brother like you, Qi Lin.” Wang Jian said with wholehearted sincerity.
“Then, our relationship…Do you feel it was fortunate or not?” Qi Lin approached her.
The man’s breath made Wang Jian blush, yet she was unsure of how to answer.
“Ahem.”
A fake cough from behind interrupted this dubious scene.
Wang Jian composed herself, and the two of them turned. Xu Fu was standing behind them, eyeing Wang Jian with bewilderment. She was a bit confused as to the situation; how could the grand Vermilion Bird Divine General walk so close with a man.
“We will enter the Shaman Spirit Kingdom in two days. As long as we are in Shaman Spirit Kingdom waters, we’ll be safe.”
Xu Fu said to Qi Lin and Wang Jian, who were surveying the deck.
For the past couple days, they had been on alert against that Western Sea Cult’s retaliation, and everyone was on edge.
“Are you sure nothing will happen?” Qi Lin asked. “If it really is Western Sea God Yan Zi, does the Shaman Spirit Kingdom have the capabilities to ward her off?”
“Of course.” Xu Fu replied with certainty.
The Shaman Spirit Kingdom was the largest and most prosperous nation in the Western Sea. Its surroundings contained a hundred thousand islands and millions of citizens. These islands all possessed countless treasures and materials, and no record of the Western Sea could keep track of them all. It was the most thriving business center of the entire Great Primordial’s Western Province. Such enormous fortune was the object of envy for countless people. If it did not have formidable strength, it would have been destroyed already.
The Shaman Spirit Kingdom had Ten Shamans, all of them legacies of the Immemorial Royal Family, Divine Names of the Shaman Clan.
The Ten Shamans worked together to maintain the Shaman Spirit Kingdom’s stability. Let alone High Ancient Divine Realm, even Immemorial Divine Realm Divine Names would need to be afraid of stirring trouble here. Since that Western Sea God Yan Zi was a deity born into the world from the Register Of Deities, her Realm presumably cold not be compared to those from the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court Period. Otherwise, there would be no need to resort to shady practices like blockades and piracy at all.
Hearing Xu Fu say as much, Qi Lin grew ever curious about this Shaman Spirit Kingdom.
“How deluded of you to think the Ten Shamans can shelter you. Then you must have a life to see them with in the first place!!”
Without warning, a cold and arrogant voice exploded in their ears.
Everyone was shocked. At some point in time, a woman dressed in a feather cloak and a magnificent long skirt stepped across the seawater, walking delicately over. With every step, the ocean was like an abyss, carrying an enormous divine might.
