Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 236 - 235: Dragonbone Divine Ship, East Sea in Chaos

Chapter 236: Chapter 235: Dragonbone Divine Ship, East Sea in Chaos

The Dragon Ship is about two hundred meters long, and after being pulled out of the great hall, it took up quite a bit of space, with dragon bones like jade and the hull like Mo Tie.

The Old Turtle Demon placed the Dragon Pearl on the ground before leaving, as Zhang Kui had suddenly erupted, leaving Venerate Huanxin no time to clean up.

The two seemed to resonate with each other, and the Dragon Pearl emitted a faint light and gently floated up, with clouds swirling around it, and a dragon shadow churning inside the pearl.

The Dragonbone Ship slightly trembled, and the snow-white jade-like dragon bones surged clouds and mist, accompanied by a vast and distant dragon roar, causing the great hall’s atmosphere to suddenly change.

A gentle breeze brushed his face, and Zhang Kui’s eyes shone, "What a treasure!"

He said, waving his hand, making the Dragon Pearl float over. Zhang Kui grabbed it and immediately began using the Divine Refining Skill.

He had been holding on to this Dragon Pearl for quite some time, and only after visiting the East Sea Water Mansion did he know how to use it.

Within the Dragon Pearl, there also existed a dark, damp residual thought, likely left by the Old Turtle Demon. Zhang Kui unhesitatingly cleared it and used his Divine Sense to slowly refine and imprint his Divine Thought.

The process was not a quick one. Even with Zhang Kui’s current strength, he had to sit in meditation, carefully refining it bit by bit.

Beside him, the Demoness Bao Wuxin took the opportunity to swallow a pill to heal her wounds. All that she had seen and heard today had caused her emotions to fluctuate, and reflecting on her master, who was like a father and perished in this place, left her in silent grief and a sense of loss.

Before long, Zhang Kui slowly opened his eyes with a slight smile on his lips, the Dragon Pearl floating like a mischievous child, bobbing up and down beside him.

Suddenly, he frowned, looking in another direction, where Bao Wuxin’s aura was unstable, sometimes fierce, sometimes subdued...

Going into demonization?

Zhang Kui felt a bit troubled; the path of cultivation is not only about body-protecting skills and Tao cultivation; having a harmonious mindset is also crucial.

Unlike him, most cultivators reach their achievements only after millennia of training and often retreat for a century.

Observing the ever-changing world, if one’s mind grows indifferent, it becomes as hard as stone, difficult to improve, thus requiring fluidity, like uncorrupted water.

A wildly fluctuating mindset, going into demonization or progressing further, relies solely on oneself, external help is futile.

Fortunately, Bao Wuxin’s Qi Mechanism was gradually stabilizing, with an added touch of elegance.

Bao Wuxin slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Kui smiling, "Congratulations, Taoist Friend, on your advancement. Did you gain anything?"

Bao Wuxin nodded, "I must have amused you, Taoist Friend. My master cultivated for thousands of years but fell here, leaving no remains. It’s hard to accept."

"However, just as my mindset was about to crack, I suddenly remembered my master’s teachings, that seeking the Tao is arduous and long, with meetings and partings commonplace on this journey."

"Some people will eventually disappear, while others will come; destiny is unpredictable, and ultimately, the road belongs to oneself alone."

"Just like you, Taoist Friend Zhang, your swift advances are beyond our reach, mere fellow travelers; nevertheless, everyone will witness new scenery, and the path of longevity is exciting, which my heart yearns for."

Zhang Kui chuckled, "What you say is true, Taoist Friend, but I, Old Zhang, don’t think much about it. When tired, I sleep; when hungry, I eat; when angry, I fight; when destiny ends, I accept it with ease, letting nature take its course."

"Such a carefree nature!"

Bao Wuxin smiled, "With such an unrestrained nature, it’s no wonder you have achieved so much."

This unrestrained nature is true, but I have achieved this because I have a... Zhang Kui laughed, changing the topic, "Taoist Friend Bao, would you like to see this Ancient Dragon Ship?"

"Of course."

The two of them approached the Dragon Ship. Accomplished in Array Formation Skill, Zhang Kui walked around it once and had a rough idea in his mind.

The deck of the Dragon Ship was just as expected, made from the same material as the ancient ship buried underneath the East Sea Water Mansion, though it isolates spiritual qi. Inside, it was intricately arranged with many arrays.

The dragon bones were also refined, arranged with numerous Five Elements Spirit Gathering Arrays, absorbing vast heaven and earth spiritual qi, converting it into dragon qi, roughly equivalent to the engine of the Dragon Ship.

But like a giant dragon without eyes, the Dragon Pearl capable of harnessing dragon qi serves as the catalyst or missing core.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui extended his right hand, and the Dragon Pearl, glowing with brilliance, slowly flew up and into the giant dragon skull at the bow.

Roar!

Another vast dragon roar sounded, and golden light ignited in the two hollow eyes of the giant dragon skull. Around the hull, clouds materialized out of thin air, and the Dragon Ship slowly floated upwards.

Zhang Kui and Bao Wuxin exchanged smiles and leapt onto it.

The interior of the Dragon Ship was empty, nothing inside, but Zhang Kui, through the Dragon Pearl, instantly controlled the entire ship.

Indeed, this Dragon Ship was extraordinary, capable of flying in the sky and entering the sea, though it was not yet clear if it could traverse the Star Sea.

In addition, it possessed both defensive and offensive capabilities.

With a thought, Zhang Kui raised a golden arched shield, like a canopy, covering the hull.

The means of attack lay within the dragon head, and the Old Turtle Demon was right, the grand array of the East Sea Water Mansion Sea God Hall had its origin here, except this Dragon Head Cannon was far more powerful.

Bao Wuxin glanced around and felt the strength of the defense array, her eyes suddenly brightening, "Indeed, what a treasure, Taoist Friend Zhang. If we ride this, many places in the Underworld will be freely traversable, but how do we get out?"

Zhang Kui laughed heartily and slowly turned the ship’s head, aiming the dragon head at the collapsed cave passage, "Taste my cannon!"

Boom!

The earth shook violently.

Outside the mid-mountain of Profound Yin Mountain, rocks shattered the sky as a golden dragon shadow soared, wrapped in a mass of boulders and dust, spewing out.

Profound Yin Mountain rumbled as though an earthquake had struck.

Amidst black sand and dust erupting from various parts of the mountain, Artifact Demons burst forth with a bang, stirring dust into the sky. They stared at the passage, their eyes glowing red, swiftly crawling towards it.

And outside the dense lightning at the mountain peak, several gigantic black shadows suddenly appeared, like evil tumors formed by countless fragments of iron and debris, climbing halfway up the mountain, each step causing the ground to tremble...

Zhang Kui had long overlooked the attraction of the dragon ship to these artifact demons.

...

On the other side, the remaining forces of the Spiritual Sect and the East Sea Water Mansion had already fled to the foot of Profound Yin Mountain, their faces full of the relief of having escaped with their lives.

Suddenly, the Old Turtle Demon’s face turned pale, "The Dragon Pearl has been refined. Venerate Huanxin must have already dealt with that human cultivator. If that old monster comes into being, I fear no one in the world could stop him."

Chi Lin’s face was changing unpredictably, "He let us go just now to focus on dealing with Zhang Kui. You’ve seen that strange altar too; I’m afraid all of us Mahayana are set to be offerings for that old monster."

The Old Turtle Demon gave a bitter laugh, "Though the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch is dead, we probably can’t stay in the East Sea either, Sect Leader Chi Lin. I plan to lead the Water Mansion in migration; what are your plans?"

Chi Lin looked around. He came with great ambition, but now he only had four subordinates left, and his heart bled at this thought.

He had provoked powerful enemies at sea and led the Snake Den branch to join the Spiritual Sect, plotting tirelessly to secure a high position, only to end up in such a miserable state. He feared that even the foundation of the Spiritual Sect could not be preserved.

Thinking of this, anger rose in Chi Lin’s heart, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

"On this journey, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch and the military advisor lay hidden, as well as that human Zhang Kui, all with ulterior motives, causing much trouble. Even if he is dead, I must slaughter the entire coastal human race to relieve the hatred in my heart."

The Old Turtle Demon shook his head slightly, "I have a large family business in the Water Mansion, so many trivial matters take time. I’d better go back early. Sect Leader Chi Lin, please yourself."

Chi Lin looked at the Old Turtle Demon, his eyes flickering with a dark light, "Alright, we’ll go our separate ways."

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, startling the demons, who quickly turned their heads, only to see the dragon shadow soaring into the sky halfway up the mountain.

The Old Turtle Demon cried out in shock, "Not good, old monster Huanxin has broken free, let’s go quickly."

With these words, he led the remaining few subordinates, riding the rolling black smoke, howling away.

Chi Lin was also frightened, and with his four subordinates wrapped in infinite Yin wind, they ran hundreds of miles in an instant.

"Sect Leader, what should we do?"

"The old monster Huanxin likely won’t come chasing us for a while. Let’s first go back, pack up our belongings, dismiss the little demons, and then go kill to our heart’s content with me."

"And in the future, we..."

"Hmph, in such a vast world, where can’t we go? At worst, we’ll return to our old trade. The East Sea Water Mansion holds many treasures; we’ll just rob them halfway."

"Sect Leader is wise..."

...

Dust and smoke billowed, and stones continuously fell.

In the cave passage, the dragon ship’s golden shield rose, remaining unfazed in the midst of falling rocks.

Bao Wuxin looked around, his face showing joy, "This defense array is indeed remarkable. Even if the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch exerts his full strength, he may find it hard to breach it in a short time."

"The impressive thing is not just that..."

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and sword lights flew out into the sky, shredding the falling rocks into pieces one by one.

"You can attack from inside!"

Bao Wuxin was even more delighted. This was truly powerful. Enemies are blocked by the array, but inside, one could attack at ease. No wonder the East Sea Water Mansion cherished it so much as their foundation.

However, at that moment, Zhang Kui frowned, seeing the cave entrance actually blocked by countless artifact demons, with several room-sized monstrous claws constantly groping inside.

Zhang Kui slightly shook his head,

"Blocking anything but the cannon’s mouth..."

With mind control, spiritual Qi instantly concentrated on the dragon bone, and in the head of the dragon at the bow, golden air revolved continuously, dragon shadows tumbling.

Boom!

Accompanied by a desolate dragon roar, a massive golden dragon shadow shot out, smashing numerous artifact demons into pulp.

Unexpectedly, however, these artifact demons were not dispersed by the blast, and fragmented iron, flesh, shattered arrays... all sorts of messy things quickly gathered again, like malignant pulp, once more blocking the cave entrance.

Zhang Kui slightly shook his head, the Dragonbone Cannon was powerful but not adept at dealing with such strange beings.

Thinking of this, he simultaneously unleashed the Ten Thousand Swords Attack while puffing up his cheeks.

Whoosh~

Torrents of blood-red karmic fire gushed forth...

...

Back in their sect, Chi Lin and his subordinates immediately began packing their belongings. The colossal Soul Suppressing Tower couldn’t be moved and had to be left behind, but the divine artifacts and magical treasures were all taken without leaving any behind.

Of course, they also thoroughly ransacked the treasure vaults of those deceased Mountain Lords.

Some subordinates of the Mountain Lords, trying Divine Travel, attempted to inquire but were blasted to pulp in an instant, leaving the entire Spiritual Sect in a state of panic.

Meanwhile, the Old Turtle Demon led several Mansion Masters in a panic back to the Water Mansion, only to find the sea in turmoil, with endless Yin Qi and rolling blood waves.

The Old Turtle Demon and his group instantly had bloodshot eyes, summoning towering illusionary Dharma aspects to charge into the battle.

It turned out the Sea Eye demons, seeing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch dead, thought it was the Water Mansion’s doing, and finding the defenses empty upon arrival, they had no scruples and wreaked havoc.

To put it in a colloquial way, the whole East Sea was in utter chaos...
