Chapter 1608: Arriving at the First Sleeping Place
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A meatball fell from the sky. It was a scene no one had expected. A meatball could fly? And it even flew over the great ocean? One would think this was a scene in a movie!
The officers of Sakura Island were stunned. However, in that instant when they were dazed, the meatball had already fallen… No, it should be a meat missile had already fallen…
A deafening explosion immediately echoed out—the battles.h.i.+p blew up in an instant! The sea churned violently as the water rose as high as a mountain, bubbling as if it was boiling! At the same time, a column of flame thrust into the sky, glowing dazzlingly in the dark. At this moment, the entire ocean shook fiercely.
In just the blink of an eye, the spot where the battles.h.i.+p was at had turned into a huge whirlpool. As for the s.h.i.+p, it was nowhere to be found. Before the officers and soldiers of Sakura Island could react, they had already gone from the world.
Fortunately, no one had seen this, or their jaws would have dropped in shock. Was this really the destructive power generated by a single meatball? Why was it so terrifying? It was almost as powerful as a nuclear bomb!
The tremors generated by the explosion were very strong. Even the cruise s.h.i.+p Jewel, thousands of miles away, felt them.
Moreover, because of the violent shaking of the sea, the water was rising in waves. These waves kept stacking up as they swept out in all directions and soon turned into a tsunami. When the tsunami approached Jewel, it had already become dozens of meters high!
The s.h.i.+p’s crew had barely breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the huge wall of waves, and their hearts immediately jumped back into their throats!
For a large cruise s.h.i.+p like Jewel, such huge waves were extremely dangerous. Once the s.h.i.+p was. .h.i.t, it would be a nightmare for everyone on board! They had escaped the man-made disaster, but now it seemed that they could not escape the natural disaster!
Bu Fang had returned to the s.h.i.+p. Standing on the deck, his hair fluttered in the wind. He put one hand behind his back, and with the other, he was holding Foxy, who still had faint wisps of smoke rising from her mouth.
The fox’s little eyes were looking into the distance where a flickering fire could be vaguely seen. The tsunami was also coming from that direction.
Although Bu Fang’s divine sense could not spread too far, he could still clearly sense the battles.h.i.+p’s location with his cultivation base. So, after determining the target, he gave Foxy’s bottom a gentle slap and sent a meatball to the people over there.
Those people tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, then sent him a free food ingredient, a few fighter jets to destroy, and a missile to entertain him. It made him feel that he would be ungrateful for their hospitality if he did not return the favor.
So, he gave them a meatball. He hoped that they would enjoy it.
He was holding a piece of snake meat in his hand. It was the best piece of flesh he had taken from Yamata no Orochi’s body. He was going to make a snake soup out of the meat.
At this moment, Yu Ge, Xiao Ai, and everyone else on the cruise s.h.i.+p looked at Bu Fang in awe. If their guesses were correct, he should be an Earth Immortal.
They could not believe that such an existence actually showed up. Even if he was only an Earth Immortal, he was still an Immortal!
On the other hand, the superhumans from the West all looked at him with a very complicated gaze.
On the top deck of the s.h.i.+p, helicopters were landing. Many Hua superhumans came out of them, including Chief Luo. He had not witnessed the battle that had just occurred. By the time he arrived, it was already over. However, from the shocked expressions of the people at the scene, he was able to see that it must have been a very unusual battle.
Chief Luo took Xiao Ai away. He needed to find out from her what had just happened. As for the crew, they were scrambling to prepare for the coming tsunami. Almost everyone had gone back to their rooms. There were, of course, a few other people who remained on deck, including Yu Ge, the monk, and the two Western superhumans.
With a mixed expression, the monk walked over. He did not have the slightest doubt that Bu Fang was stronger than him. He was an S-cla.s.s superhuman, while Bu Fang, who was stronger than him, could only be a Heaven Qi cultivator, or even an Earth Immortal. According to the agreement, existences of this level were not supposed to appear.
“Senior…” Yu Ge called to alert Bu Fang when he saw the latter still staring into the distance.
That pulled Bu Fang out from his thoughts. He turned around and saw the monk and the two Western superhumans walking toward him.
The mixed beauty’s expression was somewhat unsightly. She finally understood why she was enchanted by Bu Fang when she went to tease him—he was much stronger than her.
“May I ask from which immortal land your excellency comes from?” The monk stood not far in front of Bu Fang, put his palms together, and bowed. Bu Fang’s strength had earned his respect. He wondered which immortal land could produce an Earth Immortal in this era. Would it be Kunlun or Penglai?
“The kitchen,” Bu Fang said with an expressionless face.
‘The kitchen?’ The monk’s face darkened. ‘This senior really likes to joke. He comes from the kitchen? Does he think he’s a G.o.d of Kitchen? Or a G.o.d of Cooking?’
“Hua has promised not to interfere with this spiritual energy sealing point. Are you planning to openly break the agreement now?” The two Western superhumans frowned at Bu Fang.
“Spiritual energy sealing point? I’m just pa.s.sing by… I’ll just take a look from the outside and not go in,” Bu Fang said in the same indifferent tone. “As for your agreement, I know nothing about it.” He shook his head. He was not a Qi cultivator of Hua, so the so-called agreement had nothing to do with him.
“We have to thank Senior. If it weren’t for him, we’d be dead by now because of the plot of those Sakura Islanders.”
The monk quickly stepped forward and said something to smooth things out. What he said was the truth. The situation just now was very dangerous. Had Bu Fang not stepped in, the cruise s.h.i.+p Jewel might not exist now.
After all, Yamata no Orochi was a monster in Sakura’s mythology. Although he was not as powerful as an Earth Immortal, he was still much stronger than an S-cla.s.s superhuman.
As the huge tsunami rolled over from a distance, a strong wind was constantly blowing at the people on the decks, causing their clothes to flap noisily. The mixed beauty’s bright red dress fluttered messily, revealing her long fair legs.
Bu Fang turned his head to look at the tsunami, then patted Shrimpy on his shoulder. Rolling its eyes, Shrimpy flew out in a flash of gold, ripped through the air, and stopped before the tsunami.
Yu Ge, the monk, and the others did not understand what Bu Fang was trying to do. The next moment, however, their pupils constricted. The mantis shrimp, which seemed so ordinary to them, showed its amazing strength at that moment.
Even as the towering tsunami approached the shrimp, it was split in half! Then, with the water falling like waterfalls on either side, the Jewel glided through the tsunami.
The spectacle shocked everyone on the cruise s.h.i.+p, especially those common people who were hiding in the cabin. Everyone let out an astonished cry and stared in awe. To them, this was simply the means of the immortals.
After the cruise s.h.i.+p safely sailed through the peculiar pa.s.sage, an immense amount of water suddenly fell and smashed the surface of the sea, producing a thunderous rumble and setting off towering waves. All around the Jewel, however, the sea was calm.
The monk and the other superhumans were appalled. They had thought that the nine-tailed fox was already a very powerful spirit beast, but it turned out that the golden mantis shrimp on Bu Fang’s shoulder was also a fearsome spirit beast!
‘Just who is this young man? How could he possess such formidable spirit beasts at the same time?!’
“Well, the crisis is over. Can you tell me where the spiritual energy sealing point is now?” Bu Fang turned and looked at the monk and the two Western superhumans.
A puzzled look flashed across the monk’s face. ‘He doesn’t know where the spiritual energy sealing point is? That shouldn’t be, right? If he didn’t know it, why did he board this cruise s.h.i.+p?’
Just as Bu Fang was asking the question, the sky in the east gradually brightened. The morning sun rose from the horizon, poking half of its face like a boy who poked his head out of the quilt that had covered him all night. The light of the sunrise shone on everyone’s face, turning them red.
The monk and the two Westerners were still staring at Bu Fang.
“Do you know where we are now?” Bu Fang asked again, with a slight frown this time.
The monk quickly replied, “We are now in the center of the South Sea of Hua… This place has been known as the land of the Immortals since ancient times, and the spiritual energy sealing point is also here, which seems to prove that…”
The monk and others had used modern detection techniques to determine the location of the spiritual energy sealing point. Although cultivators still existed in this era, their numbers were far from what it was in ancient times. In this era where technology reigned supreme, there was nothing shameful about a cultivator resorting to technology.
“Look!” Yu Ge cried out suddenly.
Bu Fang and the others, who were talking, turned to look in the direction he was pointing. The sea there seemed to be boiling, and wisps of mist kept rising from the water and floating into the sky, making the whole area look as if it was an immortal land. They even saw what looked like Immortals moving through it.
“That is… a vision of heaven and earth!” The monk’s face lit up with excitement.
However, the two Western superhumans had some doubts. “Isn’t this just a mirage?”
“A mirage is not like this… We have arrived at the spiritual energy sealing point!” The monk was very excited.
The cruise s.h.i.+p sailed on. Finally, as she neared the area that was full of immortal aura, she stopped. A shrill air horn echoed through the clouds, and with the sound of gears turning, a huge metal anchor was dropped into the sea and sank rapidly to the bottom.
“This is the spiritual energy sealing point. It is exactly the same as I had seen on the photos sent back from the planes. Before entering, we need to pick the top five of the World G.o.d of Cookery Tournament,” said the monk.
‘Why do they have to do that?’ Bu Fang did not understand.
The monk seemed to read the question on Bu Fang’s face. He smiled and began to explain, “There is an array in the sealing point, which is supposed to be created by those who sealed the spiritual energy. It is too powerful to be broken by force. However, after we studied it for a long time, we found that to open it requires a special key, and that key is… food.”
Bu Fang raised his brows slightly. ‘The Artifact Spirits are already sleeping, and yet they still made such a ha.s.sle for me…’ But he guessed that they made such a setting so that it was easier for him to find them. It looked like they were quite thoughtful.
He was suddenly a little curious about which Artifact Spirit was sleeping in this spiritual energy sealing point. Would it be Nicholas the Handsome Dragon, Mulberry the Vermilion Bird, Howling the White Tiger, or the old Black Turtle? He was suddenly a little excited.
The monk and the others turned and were about to go back inside the s.h.i.+p to continue the cooking compet.i.tion when they heard a splash. They jerked their heads and saw that Bu Fang had jumped out from the deck, landed on the sea, and was walking slowly toward the area with an immortal aura.
The faces of the monk and the two Western superhumans went black, while Yu Ge twitched the corner of his mouth.
“Senior, didn’t you say you will just look from the outside and won’t go in?”
