Chapter 695: Chapter 694: Grace

Xiao Xiaomo: "Activate the Perception Eye. Let’s take a look."

Chi Xue Child activated the Perception Eye and asked, "How is it?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Yi sent a message: "You’re not going to believe this, but the Spiritual Power over there is incredibly strange and profound. We’re about to have a sudden enlightenment."

Chi Xue Child: "..."

Liu Yiyi: "..."

Fairy Mo Yan: "You can get enlightened from *this*? Aren’t you guys trash at Cultivation?"

Chu Qing: "That’s because we have a stone that stores a single instance of enlightenment. It triggers automatically when we encounter the right conditions."

Fairy Mo Yan: "Name your price! I’ll do it, even if you want me to assassinate Chu Qing!"

Chu Qing: "My sister is so exceptional and hardworking. She never slacks off, not even in extreme heat. Of course I’m going to give this to her."

Chi Xue Child: "Her sister probably has a blade to her neck again."

Fairy Mo Yan: "Suddenly, I’m starting to feel pretty gentle by comparison."

Liu Yiyi: "Hehehe."

Chi Xue Child: "Hehehe."

Zhong Yiyang: "Hehehe."

Fairy Mo Yan: "You all just look down on Demon Cultivators. We Demon Cultivators don’t even look down on you Daoist Cultivators."

’Chi Xue Child didn’t believe a word Mo Yan said. Otherwise, why couldn’t anyone call her "Fairy" in front of other Demon Cultivators? It just proved they looked down on Daoist Cultivators.’

Chi Xue Child didn’t pay it much mind, however. He still had to enter the Ghost Gate.

Even though he didn’t know what was inside, he had to take a look.

But when he went inside, he discovered that there was nothing but a single path.

Chi Xue Child followed the path to its end, only to find there was still nothing there.

He was dumbfounded. ’What was that all about?’

In the end, Chi Xue Child walked back out. Nothing had happened during the entire process.

???

So, he had just taken a stroll through the Ghost Gate and that was it?

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiaomo and Chen Yi had fallen into a state of enlightenment.

’It seemed there was a great opportunity here, but it wasn’t meant for him.’

Finally, Chi Xue Child sat down. He took out the Red Sword and began to comprehend the Bloody Wave.

But the moment he closed his eyes to perceive it, he suddenly found himself adrift in an endless tide, in danger of being swallowed by the waves at any moment.

The only thing he could do was keep himself from being swept away.

Only then did Chi Xue Child realize that living people could not physically enter the Ghost Gate.

One could only enter it through perception and experience.

However, Chi Xue Child felt no fear in the face of the colossal waves. He had wanted to comprehend the Bloody Wave anyway, so this was the perfect opportunity.

If Chi Xue Child wasn’t mistaken, what Chen Yi and the others needed to do was stabilize themselves and then calm the tide.

But Chi Xue Child was different. What he wanted to do was dye these waves red, turning them into a sea of blood.

The Red Sword on his person began to hum, absorbing an invisible aura.

And as this energy began to be absorbed, a low hum suddenly emanated from a gigantic fish in the deep sea.

Normal people could not hear this sound; it propagated only through the deep sea.

And somewhere in the deepest part of the sea...

A pair of eyes suddenly snapped open.

It had been awakened.

「Domain of the Holy Beast Dragon Race」

A colossal dragon awoke from its slumber. It perceived its surroundings for a moment, then said in surprise, "It’s actually still alive."

He then extended a claw, and a Space Gate opened accordingly, intending to directly pull back what he had sensed.

But as his claw entered the Space Gate, a sizzling sound erupted—ZZZT!—and he swiftly retracted it.

Even so, his claw was now covered in scorch marks.

The colossal dragon frowned. ’Such powerful Sealing Power. No wonder I couldn’t sense it for so many years. Since it’s like this, I’ll just find someone to run this errand for me.’

Afterward, the colossal dragon closed its eyes once more.

Somewhere on the Earth Valley Longyuan Sea, a Space Gate opened, and three figures stepped out.

These three people wore three different masks.

It was the trio of Ghost Cultivators.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, why is it us again?" Shui Mian couldn’t help but ask.

"A Space Gate can obviously be opened here. Why would they need small-timers like us to show up?"

Although their Cultivation was considered decent, compared to the great senior who could open a Space Gate, they were truly nobodies.

Huo Mian said, "Because it seems there’s a power level restriction here. Outsiders who are too powerful can’t get in."

Leng Mian asked, "Are we really here looking for a Dragon? A Dragon from the Holy Beast Dragon Race?"

Shui Mian asked, "Have you guys ever seen a Dragon? How are we supposed to recognize her?"

Huo Mian took out a scale and said, "This will guide us. When the time comes, we can use it to allow ’that person’ to barely manifest here. Once that happens, our mission will be complete."

Shui Mian asked worriedly, "It’s related to space again? Are we going to die here?"

Huo Mian shook his head. "We were the first ones to use the great Ghost Cultivator senior’s legacy and not die. Trust in our luck. We’ll survive."

’That was easy to say, but not dying just meant taking on one mission after another until they finally did die. And each mission was more terrifying than the last.’

’They had survived the first time, but who knew if they would survive the second?’

’The pressure was immense.’

「On a small island somewhere」

"Get lost! Stay away from me," Saint Dragon Shuang Ying growled at the Divine Dragon.

The Divine Dragon froze for a second before moving a short distance away. "Are you all right?" he asked.

He really was injured. Using Instant was not something he could do so casually. But he had felt that person was truly out to kill. If he hadn’t used it, the Holy Dragon would have very likely died at their hands.

The Holy Dragon looked at the Divine Dragon with contempt and said, "Useless trash. You couldn’t even beat someone like that. And you think you’re worthy of approaching me?"

The Divine Dragon said, "He might come after us. Why don’t you heal yourself first? I’ll get you out of here in a bit."

The moment she heard their pursuer might be on his way, she immediately snapped, "Then what are you waiting for? Go find me some Spirit Medicine to heal! Why are you wasting time talking to me?"

"Alright, I’ll go find medicine for you right now. You should stabilize your injuries so you’re ready to take it." With that, the Divine Dragon quickly departed.

After the Divine Dragon left, the Holy Dragon gnashed her teeth. ’Despicable human, how dare he injure me like this!’

Then she shot a disgusted look in the direction the Divine Dragon had gone.

The Divine Dragon didn’t give it much thought and began searching the vicinity for useful Spirit Medicine.

He was also heavily injured, but he didn’t tend to his own wounds first. To him, an injury like this was nothing.

Soon, he found what he was looking for: a Healing Holy Medicine, enough for both of them.

He quickly returned to the Holy Dragon’s side. "I found it. We can each take half, and we’ll recover quickly."

At that, the Holy Dragon snatched the Holy Medicine and sneered, "Are you worthy of sharing the same medicine with me?"

Then, the Holy Dragon added, "They’re about to arrive. Take me away from here, now. I’ll heal on the way."

The Divine Dragon fell silent, but finally said, "Alright. You heal first, and I’ll take you away from here."

"Remember, don’t let them disturb me. If they catch up, you will block them for me even if it means you die," the Holy Dragon commanded.

To her, allowing him to protect her was a gift in itself.
