Chapter 493 - 492: Attacking the Seven Emotions Coast

Chapter 493: Chapter 492: Attacking the Seven Emotions Coast

Jiang Zuo opened his eyes. He had wasted some time, but fortunately, it wasn’t a major issue.

Next, Jiang Zuo needed to reach his peak state and then attempt to trigger his Celestial Tribulation.

The tribulation he was about to face likely wouldn’t be an ordinary one. In fact, he hoped it would be a powerful one.

If it was just an ordinary one, it would be rather disappointing.

Jiang Zuo then adjusted his state and placed the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires in his hand.

After that, it was simple. He just had to use his Innate Two Qi to devour it.

The Battle Spirit Stele was also rapidly spinning beside him, absorbing as much of the power as it could.

This power was extremely pure. As long as he absorbed and refined it, it was many times better than absorbing dense Spiritual Qi.

This was the source of Jiang Zuo’s confidence in being able to reach his peak state directly.

Meanwhile, the woman beside him was holding back the Little Wild Cat. That stone was all emotion, after all. The Little Wild Cat felt like her food was being stolen. She wanted to snatch it back, and if she couldn’t, even a couple of bites would do.

’If that’s not possible, a couple of licks will do.’

"Mine, mine, eat. AWOO."

The Little Wild Cat didn’t care about anyone else. She just wanted to eat. She *had* to eat.

But alas, she couldn’t escape her mother’s grasp.

And the woman holding her back looked at Jiang Zuo with great curiosity.

She was a little surprised.

She discovered that Jiang Zuo’s Cultivation was actually only at Tier Two.

What did Tier Two even mean?

They were a dime a dozen. Forget about seeing her in her peak state; even a normal Tier Two Cultivator would instantly explode just from looking at her quiet daughter.

But what was going on with this person?

He was acting as if nothing was wrong.

At first, she thought that "other person" had left something behind to help him. But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case at all. This man was completely unaffected by them.

’Tier Two... is that really possible?’

The more the woman thought about it, the more alarmed she became. Her daughter had seemingly returned after receiving a scare.

Although her daughter could only roar, she was practically invincible. All these years hadn’t been for nothing.

Her range might be small, but at close quarters, even a Tier Nine would have to be wary.

Chaos was no joke. The influence of emotions was simply all-pervasive.

Without Attaining the Dao, one couldn’t block it completely.

So a Tier Two had blocked it?

What in the world was he?

At that moment, Jiang Zuo was rapidly absorbing the power from the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires. However, the feedback he received was normal Spiritual Qi; he had no intention of switching to the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique.

Watching Jiang Zuo cultivate, the woman stopped overthinking it. It was useless to dwell on it anyway. All that mattered was that her daughter was safe.

After all, she would eventually forget everything and become food for the Flying Fish.

At this thought, she grew a little sad and hugged the Little Wild Cat.

Her face was filled with sorrow.

But the Little Wild Cat didn’t understand at all. All she knew was eating. Seeing this person hug her, she swiped a paw and then kicked with her feet, trying to get over to the food.

The woman was rather helpless. Why was her daughter so mischievous?

And after so many years, she had never even called her "Mother."

It was quite sad when she thought about it.

But then she thought about how she had consciousness, a husband, and a daughter, and she felt incredibly lucky. Among her kind, there was probably no one else like her.

They were born of Chaos and lived in Chaos, unwelcome by anyone.

She could already be considered to have received Celestial Favor.

’So, I should be at peace.’

’Yes, being at peace is enough.’

’I’ve done very well.’

’And I’ve received so much.’

’I’m very happy.’

「At the Seven Emotions Coast」

The people there slowly began to recover, but many of them couldn’t understand what had happened.

As for those who had tried to escape, they quickly came running back.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t get out, but that they were chased back.

They were chased back by countless Flying Fish.

These Flying Fish were generally Tier Three and Tier Four, far beyond what they could handle.

At first, they had been able to deal with them, but that didn’t last. The fish just kept getting stronger, and their numbers were endless.

"Why is this happening? What in the world is going on here?"

"This place is definitely a trap! Who are the organizers?"

"Find them! At the very least, they have to let us out, or we’re all going to die."

Many people were panicking.

And those who had just woken up were also stunned by the sight of the endless Flying Fish.

Oddly, no one paid much mind to why these fish could fly. After all, some of them were already Tier Four, and it wasn’t impossible for a Tier Four being to fly.

Of course, more importantly, not everyone had the presence of mind to care about such details.

The Ghost Cultivator organizers were also surprised. This was completely beyond their plans.

Their plan had accounted for many dangers and many unknowns.

They had also prepared many countermeasures, such as being attacked by other Cultivators, someone stepping up to cause trouble, or encountering a powerful Cultivator who just happened to be here.

But they had made no preparations for an attack by an army of Flying Fish.

Moreover, it was highly likely that they themselves had caused this.

So, which part of the plan had gone wrong?

They didn’t know. What they needed to do now was stabilize the situation. At the very least, they had to hold their ground.

Otherwise, even if they weren’t eaten by the giant whale, they would be slaughtered by these Big Fish.

A Ghost Cultivator on site immediately gave an order: "Activate the Array and defend against the enemy!"

Instantly, an Array lit up over the Seven Emotions Coast. The Array formed a massive Defense Shield, enveloping the entire coastline.

But the Flying Fish didn’t care about any Defense; they simply rushed forward in a single wave.

They would either break through or crash to their deaths against the barrier.

And once they died, their bodies would fall into the water, where large numbers of their kin were waiting below to feed.

The sight sent a chill down everyone’s spines.

With such a frenzied assault, it felt like the Defense wouldn’t last for long.

At this moment, the Tier Six Ghost Cultivator host came out. He released his Tier Six Cultivation and said, "Fellow Daoists, do not worry. This Array can withstand the full-force attack of a Tier Six Peak expert."

"We built it at a great cost. No matter how numerous these fish are, they will not be enough to break through."

Sensing his Cultivation, many people chose to believe him. After all, they didn’t have much of a choice.

Here, Tier Six was the strongest.

A Tier Four trying to reason with a Tier Six?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Meanwhile, An Xi was sitting where she had been from the start. She was already on edge, and now, seeing the Flying Fish made her even more uneasy.

Gu Jiansheng looked at An Xi and asked, "Senior, are you afraid?"

Gu Jiansheng was genuinely curious. In his eyes, Senior An Xi’s Cultivation should be above Tier Six. Even if she wasn’t Tier Seven, she should be at Tier Six Peak.

Would someone like that be afraid of these Flying Fish?

No matter how strong these fish were, they had their limits.

So he was curious, wondering if his perception was wrong.

Hearing Gu Jiansheng’s words, An Xi looked at him. "Human, you are too self-righteous."

Gu Jiansheng didn’t say anything. He was just asking. If he didn’t get an answer, he didn’t really care.

He was more concerned about the Xiaoli in his arms.

But at that moment, An Xi spoke again. "Human, why would you think that I’m afraid?"

Gu Jiansheng paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "When Xiaoli is afraid of mice, she acts just like you, Senior. She stares straight ahead with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, and the urge to flee at any moment."

An Xi looked at Gu Jiansheng, her expression unchanging. She just said coldly, "Don’t compare me to your fox. Otherwise, your fox might die."

Gu Jiansheng lowered his head and said, "This junior understands. But, Senior, would you be willing to tell me what you are worried about?"

’An Xi had all but confirmed she was afraid, since she had never once denied it.’

’She just told me not to compare her to Xiaoli; she didn’t deny being afraid.’

Gu Jiansheng could understand that much.

And An Xi had no intention of offering a false denial. She just stared ahead and said, "I knew that person was here from the beginning. I just didn’t expect him to have escaped as well. Theoretically, he should have needed more time."
