Chapter Five: Common sense about magic on the One-Ping Shore is
that dark magicians excel at using curses, while bestowing blessings is the job of light priests. From this, we can conclude that Ah Xue's blessing spell was truly terrible; I even suspect it backfired.
Great undertakings always involve risk, and finding a great treasure can't be accomplished in one go. Looking at the result, we can only say that we were too careless and underestimated the difficulty of the task. The Sea God's Palace was indeed very intricate; we only got a glimpse of the gate before we hit a brick wall.
After entering that one-ping shoreline, it was as if we were transported by some kind of spatial magic. We only saw strange white-green lights flashing around us, and the water rippled, suggesting we were moving rapidly in the water, yet we couldn't touch a single drop of seawater.
When the passage beyond space ended, we found ourselves in a strange, verdant space. Ahead lay a vast expanse far exceeding the size of the island, but the sky was a blinding white, like undulating ocean waves. On the ground, besides the enormous plants we had seen before, various primitive dragons roamed the grasslands and forests, along with other inexplicable creatures that, while not dragons, were equally gigantic. This strange space was
more like a museum than a zoo, as every creature within it was like a specimen, completely still, motionless, or moving at an incredibly slow pace, taking an eternity to move an inch.
These primitive dragons were utterly helpless, completely at our mercy. We could have done as we pleased, but a magnificent, golden palace in the distance drew our attention, compelling us to turn in that direction.
And then, a series of calamities began.
We tried to head towards the palace, but after walking for almost half an hour, it remained a long way off. No matter which direction we went, we couldn't get close. At this point, we knew something was wrong, but we couldn't give up. Even if we couldn't get there, some reconnaissance would surely help, right?
For a mage, casting spells like shikigami or summoned beasts would easily complete the reconnaissance, but I didn't want to use the Phoenix Blood Bee casually, and I wasn't sure if the summoned beast could send me a message. So, Ah Xue cast a spell, releasing the spirits she controlled, which flew towards the Sea God's Palace for a simple reconnaissance.
However, the released spirits didn't fly far before they seemed to hit an invisible defensive net, turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating into ash. Even Ah Xue, who was casting the spell, was affected, feeling dizzy and almost collapsing to the ground.
Those evil spirits were all protected by Ah Xue's magic. The power to instantly annihilate them under her protection must be extraordinary. Just as Ah Xue was about to faint, and Mao Yan'an was helpless, a golden light suddenly appeared not far ahead, followed by eighteen gleaming bronze figures.
"What...what are these things?"
Swords, spears, clubs, axes, halberds, hooks, and forks—eighteen robust and tall bronze figures, each wielding different weapons, were linked by a bronze rod on their backs. Clearly, it was some kind of mechanism, triggered by us, to drive away our uninvited guests.
These eighteen bronze figures were truly formidable. I didn't know their construction principles, but driven and protected by some unknown force, they were impervious to swords and blades. Even the Hyakkimaru, which should have been able to cut through iron like mud, couldn't leave a single crack on them, and the destructive power of their heavy weapons was astonishing.
Ah Xue was unable to fight for the time being, and the lustful beast I summoned was even less effective. Under the dense attack of these mechanical bronze men, several weapons struck wildly, turning the lustful beast into a pile of minced meat in an instant.
Knowing that the protective mechanism had been activated, and that we couldn't even get past the first hurdle, the only thing we could do was to run for our lives. I considered using the lustful spirit I had just learned, but then I thought that these Arhat bronze men were protected by power, like masters with protective abilities. The lustful spirit probably couldn't penetrate their bodies at all. Besides, even if I could defeat these mechanical bronze men, who knew how many more powerful things were behind them? It wasn't worth revealing my trump card too early.
Escape was the priority, and the three of us and the leopard were once again caught in a desperate flight. However, the mechanisms along the way continued to activate, and one after another, the Eighteen Arhat formations emerged from the ground, forming a grand Arhat formation diagram. A total of one hundred and eighty Arhat bronze men were chasing after us, a vast and terrifying force.
"Master, let me handle this. You all get out of here quickly."
As expected of a top-tier dark mage, Ah Xue finally rallied, gritting her teeth and channeling her incantations, fighting despite her excruciating headache. Afraid to use necromancy, she relied solely on her own magic to unleash various spells, absorbing most of the attacks from these traps. A series of eerie winds and black lights continuously unleashed their power within the bronze statue formation. Unfortunately, there were simply too many bronze statues, and in the end, she was still at a disadvantage. If Mao Yan'an and I hadn't turned back to rescue her, she might have been seriously injured in the chaotic attack.
As a result, we were all trapped in the Arhat Formation, and I was forced to use the Lustful Spirit. The effect was as disappointing as expected. Although the red light knocked down one bronze statue, the lifeless, heat-sensitive creature quickly rose again, charging forward with murderous intent along with the other bronze Arhat statues.
Ah Xue's power was our last hope, but as she gritted her teeth, preparing to prick her finger and draw blood for the spell, a bronze figure suddenly appeared from behind. Its bronze fork narrowly swept across my side, almost resulting in my intestines spilling out.
My hasty dodge barely avoided the bronze figure's attack, but as the fork swept past my side, it struck the leather pouch at my waist. A dazzling yellow light burst forth, generating an inexplicable force that swept out like a storm, knocking down more than ten bronze Arhat figures nearby.
(What did I put in the bag?
There was no time to think about it. Taking advantage of a gap in the Arhat Formation, we fled again. Once the Arhat Formation closed in again, the next time it would be a near-death experience; we wouldn't have such good luck again.
We temporarily escaped the Arhat Formation, but we couldn't tell which way we came. In our panic, we didn't have time to find our way back, we just rushed towards the light. We finally found a glowing door, but as soon as we rushed in, we realized something was wrong. Although we had entered a passage through space, this passage was not as calm as the way we had come; it was a raging torrent. We were instantly swallowed by the dark, violent current.
Looking around, the surrounding seawater was pitch black. This exit seemed to lead to some deep seabed, judging from the immense pressure, probably dozens of feet below the surface. The immense pressure made it hard to breathe, and our bones ached terribly.
To save my life, I could only desperately summon my shallow true energy, and before my breath ran out, I tried to slowly make my way to the surface.) Swim away.
Although Ah Xue lacks protective powers, her magic should be able to help her through this ordeal. As for the delinquent middle-aged man, who likes to drift with the tide, he'll naturally perish at sea.
In the chaos, I think I grabbed someone, and without thinking twice, we floated to the surface together. On the way, I felt an icy chill, unbearably cold. I initially thought it was because of the seawater, but gradually, I realized that although my clothes were still wet, there wasn't a single drop of water left on my body. All the seawater was blocked by a foot away.
Without seawater, then besides my wet clothes, this chilling cold that made my teeth chatter came from…
I moved my hand upwards from where I grabbed it and found a very slender waist. Mao Yan'an couldn't possibly have such a slender waist. Moving my hand further up the waist, I felt two round, plump, high breasts, which instantly warmed my cold hands. Violet wouldn't have such full, fragrant breasts, so the body I was holding must be my most beloved little apprentice.
Through the thin fabric of her clothes, I couldn't help but cup the outer edge of her snowy breasts in my palms. Even in the cold darkness, they exuded a rich, fragrant warmth, making me want to bury my face in them, enjoying the intoxicating warmth of her fragrant breasts and forgetting the coldness in my body.
The seabed was too dark for me to see anything, but I could vaguely sense that Ah Xue was concentrating on using magic, manipulating the undead to form a protective shield, isolating all the seawater and even negating the immense pressure of the ocean, allowing us to slowly rise under such conditions.
My body felt so cold, and Ah Xue's warm, fragrant body was so alluring. I felt an urge to reach under Ah Xue's robes, down her flat stomach, and into her silk undergarments to see if the thin fabric was wet. Was that dampness from the cold seawater? Or from warm nectar?
If I could gently explore the flower valley in this tense moment, teasing Ah Xue's sensitive and delicate buds, watching her writhing moans in shame, it would certainly be quite amusing. Unfortunately, my mind remained clear; I knew this wasn't the time for flirting. Otherwise, if the protective barrier broke, Ah Xue wouldn't be able to protect me; instead, she would become a burden, and then it would be too late to cry.
Holding Ah Xue tightly, we slowly rose, enveloped by the protective barrier formed by thousands of undead. After what seemed like an eternity, the pressure suddenly eased, and we had broken through the sea.
"Master, we're out..."
"Damn it, we're in the sea again! Quick, see where we are!"
The feeling of water droplets on my face told me it was raining on the sea, but the rain wasn't heavy, and the surrounding waves weren't yet a storm. Judging from the endless expanse, this was definitely not near Jurassic Park. The theory that the Sea God's Palace had different spatial exits was probably correct.
So, where were we?
If this exit is far from the sea, even in the middle of the ocean, thousands of miles from land, then we will certainly be sea refugees for a long time, drifting aimlessly without food or water, facing a life-or-death struggle. Black magicians can only manipulate undead creatures; they themselves are not immortal. Human strength has its limits. Although Ah Xue's abilities have been improving, if she were truly thrown into the middle of the ocean, her magic and necromancy would be of little use.
"Master, it's so cold... so cold..."
Ah Xue shivered incessantly, her face pale with cold, and white mist frequently billowed from her mouth. The series of fierce battles in the Sea God's Palace, and the creation of the necromancy barrier to float up from the seabed, had exhausted most of her strength, leaving her at her weakest.
Worse still, the moment we surfaced, the necromantic shield disintegrated, releasing hundreds of wraiths that roamed the surface. These wraiths, being extremely yin and cold, caused the water temperature to plummet after they came into contact with the surface in large numbers, even creating floating ice floes. Not only Xue, but even I was shivering violently from the cold.
"Master... that safety incantation... was it pronounced wrong... why are we now..."
"If you know you pronounced it wrong, don't think about it so much. Damn... it's so cold... next time before you recite the safety incantation, remember to... you must check... what happened to the person who recited it last time..."
The chill seeped into my bones, and my teeth chattered uncontrollably. Looking at Xue's pale face, I knew my complexion must be terrible, but despite the icy seawater and the floating ice floes nearby, as I held Xue's voluptuous body tightly, I couldn't help but smile, as if being in this predicament wasn't such a bad thing.
If I had stayed submerged for another hour or two, it's hard to imagine what my expression would have been. But shortly after Ah Xue and I surfaced, a surge of water and the sound of voices alerted us to an approaching boat. We used all our strength to call for help.
I hoped the people on board would hear us, but in the cold, Ah Xue and I were too weak to make anything more than a faint whistle. As the unidentified boat, far away, gradually disappeared into the distance, I regretted not having a whistle or something similar to transmit sound.
"Damn it, if only... if only I had a whistle..."
My words of regret seemed to remind Ah Xue of something. She suddenly smiled beautifully and, with her cherry lips, already purple from the cold, flashed a chilling kiss on my cheek. Then, as if using the remaining magic within her, she cast some kind of spell.
The piercing scream that followed, "Woohoo woohoo woohoo woohoo woohoo
~ ... If this is still considered being blessed by Lady Luck, then some scoundrel middle-aged man must be having an affair with Lady Luck, because when Ah Xue and I boarded the ship, the first thing we saw, besides the sailors who were trying to pull us aboard, was Mao Yan'an, who had already changed into clean clothes and was waving to us. Even Violet was standing next to him, looking down. "You bastard! Why didn't you die?" I grabbed his collar and asked him angrily, and Mao Yan'an answered somewhat awkwardly. "Uh, my dear nephew, isn't that a bit too obvious? At least you should have made an appearance and asked me why I was able to escape from the seabed. You didn't have to reveal your true intentions right away, did you?" The ship didn't smell of fish, and the cabin was full of cargo, so it seemed to be a cargo ship, not a passenger ship or fishing boat. The sailors were very polite to us, first bringing us hot soup, and then blankets, so that we could get plenty of rest. Mao Yan'an said that as soon as he emerged from that exit, he was floating directly on the sea surface, with Violet floating beside him. The two creatures were bobbing up and down, on the verge of freezing and drowning, when a ship passed by, heard their cries for help, and rescued them from the sea. "Rescue you? I don't believe it? These rude men are so kind?" When people are first rescued, they are filled with gratitude for everything they have received. However, as soon as they calm down, my deeply held belief in the inherent evil of human nature returned to my rational mind, and I began to question everything I had encountered. "Those sailors outside look like fierce monsters, like pirates. Do you think they'd be so kind to you, not robbing you and even giving you hot soup? Do you, Mao Yan'an, have that much influence?" "I may not have much influence, but others do. Since Ryan's assassination, a large number of righteous men have come to the East China Sea to join the anti-tyranny army. So many people who have never swum before have arrived at the seaside. Do you think we're the first to get lost? Marshal Li has already made arrangements with all the ships, asking them to take lost anti-tyranny righteous men to the rendezvous point." So it was Hua Mei… Hua Mei had made arrangements. That makes sense. Who among the various groups begging for a living in the East China Sea can ignore the Black Dragon Society and the resistance army? Although the sea is vast, ships can still encounter each other by chance. If the other side happens to be numerous and powerful, and old scores are settled, the entire ship could be slaughtered and burned without anyone knowing. Therefore, ships from all sides will readily assist with orders from the Black Dragon Society and requests from the resistance... as long as the orders from one side don't conflict with the requests from the other... I pondered for a moment, then asked Mao Yan'an if he knew which group this ship belonged to. "Does it matter? You wouldn't know even if I told you their names."

That's true. The Black Dragon Society and the Resistance Army are the two strongest forces in the East China Sea, but there are also some smaller organizations operating between them, trying to please both. I'd never heard of these smaller organizations before, and of course, I wouldn't know now. But Mao Yan'an told me that the ship's owner was the biggest smuggler in the East China Sea, the "Sea Merchant King" Dan Luo. Weissde.
This ship and its crew were his men, specializing in smuggling goods to the coast. They also helped the Black Dragon Society and the Resistance Army procure goods, and sometimes even bought weapons from overseas. Their wealth grew exponentially, and their status soared. It's said that his residence was a massive ironclad ship, with thick steel plates that ordinary cannons and arrows couldn't damage it. It was equipped with advanced weaponry, was fast, and could withstand all pirates. The luxurious furnishings inside were like a palace, a legend in the East China Sea.
Such luxury certainly fueled my greed, but what interested me even more was this Sea Merchant King's ability to do business with other continents. This was no easy feat. If his merchant ships could sail overseas, perhaps they would also reach the hometown of that nameless monk? I wonder what kind of world that would be.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. That Park Island is also one of the legends of the East China Sea. I never would have guessed."
Like a competent gossip, Mao Yan'an told me what he had learned. When we looked out from the island, we only saw that it was surrounded by raging waves, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter or leave. The result of Mao Yan'an's inquiry with the sailors on the ship was a rumor that somewhere in the East China Sea, there was a place where thunder and lightning raged year-round, and amidst the chaotic currents and hard reefs, there existed an ancient island inhabited by a huge monster that could only roar angrily because it could not leave the island.
Once, a lucky survivor, after a perilous journey, reached the island, only to be devoured alive by its monsters. His companions, too afraid to go ashore, witnessed the tragedy and fled by boat. Only one survivor was found among the wreckage, and the name "Park Island" spread far and wide.
"Park Island is considered an ominous, cursed name by the local sailors, so be careful not to reveal our secret of being from Park Island."
This was obvious; even if Mao Yan'an hadn't said it, I wouldn't have told anyone. Mentioning Park Island might reveal the secret of the "One-Ping Coastline," intelligence we gathered at great personal risk. How could we casually share it?
But putting that aside, now that we're on this ship, escaped our island-bound fate, and are on the right track, we should reach the resistance camp in a few days at the latest. Although the journey has been delayed, we're finally on our way.
Even though we encountered a shipwreck upon arriving in the East China Sea, is it lucky that we discovered the legendary "One-Ping Coastline"? Entering a treasure trove and returning empty-handed, I felt no sense of luck whatsoever. Moreover, the entrance and exit of the Yiping coastline were constantly shifting; this time, the exit was underwater. To get back to Park Island, we'd have to encounter the giant dragon again, survive another shipwreck, and drift to Park Island… The thought was utterly impossible. Even knowing the secret of the entrance wouldn't be of any use to us; it would be useless information.
But thinking back to our encounter in that strange space, I suddenly remembered something in the pouch at my waist that helped us escape. I hadn't put anything in that pouch except for the ring Phoenix gave me, and… that topaz!
That's something I obtained from that nameless monk. Although I still don't know his name, this topaz is undoubtedly a relic of Famit Mu Kashu. When I fought the Ten Tigers of Water City in the past, this topaz greatly enhanced the power of my lustful magic. However, due to the pursuit of the mutated spiders, I had to destroy the crystal.
After that, the topaz, with a large crack, lost its original translucent brilliance and became an inconspicuous yellowish-brown stone. I tried it a few times in private, but it no longer had any amplifying effect on lustful magic. I felt regretful, but I didn't dare to abandon this important item, so I kept it in my bag.
(Oh no, those bronze figures were so powerful, they even shattered rocks. The crystal in the pouch, will it be reduced to a pile of shards?
Thinking of this, I started to panic. But I couldn't show these things to Mao Yan'an, so I made an excuse to get him out of the house, and had Violet guard the door like a watchdog. After confirming no one was watching, I hurriedly opened the pouch to check the situation inside.
"Oh no! How did it break like this?"
Opening the pouch, I saw that the already cracked topaz was almost split in two. Such severe damage meant that whatever special abilities the gem originally possessed were now completely destroyed. I picked up the almost broken topaz, sighing, feeling both reluctant and regretful, but I didn't know what to say. If I hadn't put the topaz in the pouch to shield me from that blow, I would definitely have been impaled by the bronze fork and died a violent death.)
"Sigh, thank you for taking that hit for me..."
I sighed, reaching out to touch the broken crystal. Suddenly, a jolt went through me. Through the crack, I seemed to see something—something that looked like writing or symbols.
I picked up the oil lamp beside me and examined the yellow crystal closely. To my astonishment, I discovered that it was indeed inscribed with something inside. Not just the broken edge, but the entire interior of the crystal was covered in these strange runes. Each figure and character was tiny, like fly-head prints. Even with my eyesight strained, I couldn't see anything. Before it broke, the entire crystal was covered in a dim yellow light, making it even more impossible to see anything.
This discovery invigorated me. The thought that I had finally cracked the secret of this treasure filled me with indescribable joy. However, this joy was quickly dampened. After some time studying it, I reluctantly admitted that unless I possessed superhuman eyesight, I simply couldn't decipher what these tiny characters meant.
(An unusable treasure, utterly useless... Strange, what did Famit intend to do with this? He's human too; he couldn't even read such small characters. Do powerful magic users have eyesight like orcs?
Thinking of magic, I suddenly remembered something. On my way from Sara to the East Sea, I secretly entered several large libraries, researching information related to this topaz.
Although I didn't find any information directly related to Famit, I concluded from some of the topaz's characteristics that it wasn't a gemstone, not even a stone, but a pure energy...) The crystal was a substance called a relic by the Temple of Light.
Even the most skilled craftsman would struggle to carve such tiny characters and symbols, let alone the densely packed interior of the sphere. It was a place where even making a single cut would be problematic; to say it was done by human hands was simply unbelievable.
So, if the entire crystal was a magical crystal, and the internal runes were the manifestation of that magic, then the way to trigger its reaction was…
I had a thought and began to gather my strength, preparing to launch a volcanic aura attack. However, the yellow crystal didn't react, just as I had calculated. Then I began to use erotic magic. As the pink mist of the erotic barrier slowly descended, the crystal began to emit a bright yellow light, reacting.
"Success."
I then summoned the lewd insects, not daring to summon too many at once, only about ten, and let them crawl onto the crystal.
I tried this repeatedly, but no matter what method I used, the crystal reacted, but the light was extremely weak, flickering intermittently, and didn't seem like it was about to react. The method seemed correct, the problem was the intensity wasn't enough. What should I do? Summon stronger lewd spirits and lewd insects, or directly summon the Hellish Lewd God to stimulate it? Is this really the right method?
I racked my brains over this problem. I could clearly see a vast treasure trove before me, glittering with golden light, but I couldn't find the key to unlock it. Frustrated and angry, I felt a surge of anxiety.
Just then, a pair of soft, snowy arms wrapped around my neck. As the warm, feminine body pressed against me, a sweet, cloying moan, almost honey-like, whispered in my ear,
"Master, my body is so hot...
