— Chapter 279 —

Yunlong stayed on the boat and received information from his shadow clone, who lived in the Spirit Hall to monitor everyone.

“Well, not bad.” He commented while chewing on the sashimi he made.

A massive fish was resting on the ship’s deck, a sea spirit beast he had wild-caught from the sea a few hours ago. He prepared the fish into sashimi and ate it together with Kaguya.

“Hmm…” Kaguya chewed on the fish and frowned a little.

“It doesn’t taste good?” Yunlong asked with a wry smile, to which she quickly denied with a shake of her head.

Kaguya placed her chopstick down and replied, “I was thinking about something.”

“If you could visit another world with an advanced summoning circle, is it possible to bring Hagoromo and Hamura here?”

“I wanted to meet them again…”

Yunlong smiled and answered, “Yes, we can.”

“However, not right now.”

“We have a few things to do first.”

Kaguya nodded in understanding and rested her head on Yunlong’s shoulder, staring at the vast sea with a calm look.

They arrived on a small island called Purple Pearl Island near the Sea God Island and stopped shortly to gain more information.

Yunlong glanced at a few pirate ships near the island and glanced at the pirates he caught. “Are you connected to them?” He asked naturally.

However, the pirates don’t open their mouths and dodge Yunlong’s gaze instead, causing Kaguya to lash them with silver grass.

“Oh, Goddess!”

“Please don’t hurt us!”

“Yes, we are connected to them.”

“We are from Purple Pearl Pirates Group, after all.”

“Ah…” Yunlong suddenly remembered something.

The Purple Pearl Pirates actually were established by Captain Zi Zhenzhu, which ruled over the Nine Star Seas and possessed about 3,000 members, of which 200 were Spirit Masters.

Zi Zhenzhu was originally the Sixteen Saint of Spirit Hall, a candidate for Saintess like Hu Liena.

Yunlong lifted his body and saw a ship approaching at a fast pace.

A woman described as incredibly beautiful sat arrogantly on the captain’s chair. She has a well-proportioned body with a high nose, big purple eyes, short purple hair that looks neat and orderly, and flourishes with a heroic spirit.

Yunlong’s eyes gradually met with hers, and they stared at each other for a moment. Yet, the woman licked her lips hungrily when she noticed Kaguya beside him.

“Heh… What a woman.” He commented with a sneer.

The pirate ship stopped in front of Yunlong’s boat, overshadowing him like a small mountain.

“Well, well, look what we have here.” Zi Zhenzhu excitedly grazed through her chair. “A pretty boy and a beautiful woman.”

“I’ve been searching for brand new bed warmers, but what a surprise that two appeared now.”

“Bed warmer?” Kaguya tilted her head in confusion.

Yunlong smirked and whispered something into her ears, causing the chopstick in her slender hand to break because of the sheer power she put into it.

“I won’t let her.” Kaguya stood in front of Yunlong.

Zi Zhenzhu frowned because the woman seemed the bold type because she tried to protect the pretty boy.

“How cute.” She raised her sword at Kaguya. “I wonder if you’re that fierce on the bed.”

Kaguya activated Byakugan, and veins gradually appeared around her eyes.

She raised her palm and whispered indifferently, “Vacuum Palm.”

A vacuum shell ejected from Kaguya’s palm, which caused a powerful shockwave to sweep over Zi Zhenzhu’s ship.

BOOM!

As half of the ship got destroyed by Kaguya’s attack, Zi Zhenzhu had already dodged and jumped into the air.

She activated her martial soul, which caused her skin to get covered with a fine layer of gray-blue scales, and spirit rings slowly appeared around her.

A faint image of a snake appeared behind Zi Zhenzu, releasing a powerful spiritual wave attack at Kaguya.

However, Zi Zhenzu’s opponent is Kaguya, whose spiritual mastery was higher than hers.

Kaguya’s silhouette appeared in front of Zi Zhenzu, and her red spirit rings illuminated everything within a one-mile radius.

She reached level 69 of the Spirit Emperor Realm after months of training within her cave.

Unlike other spirit beasts that turned into a human and tried to cultivate their way up back, Kaguya’s cultivation soared quickly because of her understanding of energy.

Kaguya probably has the most energy-efficient usage of spirit energy compared to others. Even Gu Yuena, who lived for so long and was half of the dragon god, is still slightly inferior to her.

“W-What, red spirit rings-.” Zi Zhenzhu felt her neck was about to get snapped by something.

“You want to make Yunlong your Gigolo…” Kaguya swiftly choked her and threw her onto the Purple Pearl Island. “I won’t let you.”

BOOM!

Kaguya’s body flashed to Zi Zhenzi and launched another palm attack at her, causing a portion of the beach to disappear.

She bombarded the poor pirate queen to her lowest point, where almost all of her body’s parts awfully were broken.

“Drop of Nature’s Essence.” Kaguya utilized her fifth spirit skill, which created a clear water drop of natural energy with a healing property, enough to heal anything instantly.

A drop of water fell onto Zi Zhenzu’s body and recovered all injuries she had received. “W-Why…” She whispered in disbelief.

“No, not enough.” Kaguya gazed at her coldly.

“Vacuum Palm.”

BOOM!

After a few more healings, Zi Zhenzu lay in a deep hole with a lifeless expression.

Kaguya solemnly looked at her and commented, “I won’t let you.”

“Okay, that’s enough.” Yunlong grabbed Kaguya’s palm. “Don’t torture her anymore.”

“She suffered enough.”

He sighed and wondered if he was too much for explaining Zi Zhenzu’s bed warmers term to Kaguya. He picked a supreme pontiff badge from his inventory and threw it at Zi Zhenzu.

“Sixteen Saint of Spirit Hall, Zi Zhenzhu.”

“Report your absence to me.”

“Why did you run away from your duty and become a pirate instead?”

Zi Zhenzhu wouldn’t open her mouth because a memory flashed in her mind. A school of giant white sharks attacked her ship ten years ago and destroyed everything.

“Shark…” Zi Zhenzhu breathed heavily.

“Sea God Island.”

“Sharks…”

“We got destroyed… Completely…”

“I see,” Yunlong placed his palm on Zi Zhenzu’s head. “You can rest now, and I’ll fetch you to the spirit hall later.”

“My mother might want to see you.”

“After all, You’re one of the saints around her era.”

He put Zi Zhenzhu on a dream and picked her onto his shoulder, which caused Kaguya to pout.

“Why did you save her?” Kaguya indifferently asked while staring at Yunlong’s eyes. “You have enough maids already.”

“She’s not a bad person.” He chuckled while patting Kaguya’s head.

They jumped out of the hole, and a young man walked toward them hurriedly.

He’s a slender youth with deeply tanned skin, red eyes, and red hair. He wore simple white clothing, lugging around a large green backpack on his back.

Yunlong smirked slightly and brought Zi Zhenzhu onto the young man’s shoulder. “Treat her. you’re Purple Pearl Pirate’s doctor, right?” He said naturally.

“Then, We’ll go now.” He walked away with Kaguya, leaving the young man speechless.

“Eh?” Ji Xiang stared at Zi Zhenhu and looked at Yunlong again. “Wait, How did he know I am a doctor?”

Yunlong grasped his boat from below and stored it in his inventory abruptly, causing the pirate on it to fall into the ocean.

“We’ll walk to Sea God Island from here.” He commented while using the water-walking technique.

“Okay.” Kaguya followed and stepped on the sea surface.

As they left the purple pearl island, everyone looked at them with a surprised look plastered on their faces.

“What are you two?”

“How can they walk on the sea casually?!”

Yunlong walked to an island with violent waves around it, and a few spirit beasts surrounded them. He ignored them and held Kaguya’s hand tightly, even knowing none of the demon spirit great white sharks could injure them.

He took a step forward and used the Water Dragon King’s will he had received in the past.

BOOM!

An enormous wave tried to drown them, but it turned into a frozen sculpture when it was about to touch Yunlong and Kaguya.

Yunlong’s eyes became dragon eyes with white slitted pupils, which was the effect after using [True Evil Dragon]’s martial soul.

He could control [True Lunar Flame] and [Semi-Absolute Water Element] with this. He created an absolute cold domain around them and prevented anything from touching them.

A demon great white shark burst out of the sea and opened its mouth to eat them.

“Freeze…” Yunlong swiped his hand lightly up.

SWOOSH!

A chill breeze swept over the shark spirit beast and froze everything up to 100 meters high, creating an enormous ice pillar.

SWOOSH! BOOM!

Another white shark appeared and burst out from below them, which Yunlong countered by stomping his leg down on it.

BAM!

“Come on, bring everything you’ve got.” He initiated a shockwave underwater and made everything solid ice.

A young girl with pink pigtails arrived on the Sea God Island beach and saw them with an amused expression.

She wore a ruffled white top with long, billowy sleeves, and underneath a short black dress with suspender straps over her shoulders. As for the bottom part, She wears long thigh-high leggings and cute shoes.

This girl is one of Sea God’s seven children, who protected the god pillar.

(An: Not an actual Sea God’s children)

“Hoh, interesting…” She sat on a rock and waved her legs up and down.

Yunlong kept walking toward the Sea God Island and fended every incoming white shark with ice. Kaguya sometimes aided him with her silver grass, which disarrays a large group of the shark.

They almost reached 100 miles perimeter from the Sea God Island’s seashore and noticed the white shark’s strength was significantly more powerful.

Yunlong created an ice block and kicked it to the sky, breaking it into pieces simultaneously. He clenched his fist and hardened every piece of ice with [Material Reinforcement].

He doesn’t want to kill these white sharks for Sea God’s trials later, so he would only give them a few light injuries.

“Ice Rain.”

A rain of sharp ice dropped from the sky and stabbed the school of white sharks, clearing a pathway for Yunlong and Kaguya to walk through.

At a 50 miles perimeter, Yunlong saw an energy light condensed into lines of sharp teeth that moved in layers and charged toward him.

He frowned and quickly created a trident made of ice, using Sea God’s Spear Technique.

“Second Form: Millennial Space.”

Yunlong kicked the ice below him and swung the trident in such a gentle yet swift manner. An illusionary cloud slowly was created by his trident movement alone and approached energy sharp teeth.

BOOM!

An explosion occurred because two forces clashed and swept over the sea with an intense shockwave, sending some white sharks to the sky.

“Hmm?” Kaguya suddenly used silver grass to pull Yunlong back.

BOOM!

A sequence of water blades flew at where Yunlong stood before, which surprised him because he couldn’t sense any incoming attacks.

“Use your sharingan,” Kaguya commented while looking around with her Byakugan. “This place is a land… No, maybe a sea mine is a correct word.”

“The oceanic spirit beast manipulates spirit energy within the water, so you won’t be able to sense before it reaches you.”

“You know that I could just teleport myself, right?” Yunlong wryly smiled because Kaguya didn’t have to save him.

He shook his head and added, “Well, Thank you.”

Kaguya’s lips raised slightly, and she replied gently, “You’re welcome.”

Yunlong closed his eyes and activated his Sharingan.

“I’m not using Sharingan because it would be too easy, but holding back is also boring.” He gradually opened his eyes, showing a pair of piercing white-red eyes to the world.

“There are more than 1,000 sharks around us.” He created a bow from the ice.

“With the blessing from the hunting goddess, I pray for my arrow to reach my target.” He pulled the bowstring and placed three ice spears on it.

“Artemis Grace.”

SWOOSH!

Yunlong released his hand on the bowstring and launched ice spears to the sky.

“One arrow turned into ten thousand arrows.”

Thirty Thousand ice arrows rained on the sea and attacked every sea spirit beast around them.

Yunlong brought Kaguya into his embrace and walked to the Sea God Island while ice rain covered them. At 10 miles radius, he could see a young lady in a cute outfit.

“Human, what are you doing to my kin-.” A giant 25-meter white shark appeared in front of Yunlong.

BAM!

Yunlong kicked the shark away and kept walking toward the Sea God’s island, making the young lady’s expression harden for a moment.

He arrived on the beach and released Kaguya from his grasp.

A golden light suddenly fell from the sky and covered Yunlong’s entire body, causing a beautiful woman in Sea God’s temple to open her eyes.

The woman possessed an extremely exquisite face and ocean-blue hair that fell like water down her back and to the ground. Her clear blue eyes seem more profound than the oceans, and their depths seem to encompass the experiences of the ancients.

She wore a white and red gown with long sleeves adorned with wrought silver. Her golden crown is shaped like a halo around her head, matching her golden staff.

“Sea God’s Inheritor.”

“You’ve finally arrived.”
