Free Web NovelChapter 352: Chapter 351: Nether Sea Monster
Chu Qing’s Mother wasn’t very satisfied with Jiang Zuo’s answer. ’Only one person? And he only vaguely scried it?’
However, she didn’t say anything more. After all, the man was her son’s savior. Repaying kindness with ingratitude would be going too far.
That’s right—she could tell that Chu Qing had already begun to recover.
This was a great kindness. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn’t bring herself to question him a second time.
At that moment, Chu Qing’s father asked, "So they’re still going to come over?"
"They won’t," Jiang Zuo said confidently. "Because that person absolutely won’t dare to."
His words made Chu Qing’s Mother angry again, but in the end, she said nothing. For her son’s sake, she would endure the frustration.
Jiang Zuo hadn’t said anything wrong. If Luo Ying could indeed scry something vaguely, then he would surely know that there was a price to pay for scrying on him.
As for why others couldn’t scry on him, after his return from rebirth, the Celestial Secret surrounding him was already in chaos.
Coupled with the fact that his Mystic Study skill was maxed out, ordinary people couldn’t scry anything about him at all.
"Then when will Chu Qing get better?" Xiao Xiaomo asked from the side.
The insult to the Celestial Secret Lineage had nothing to do with her. At most, she knew a few people from that lineage.
Jiang Zuo looked at the Array that was about to be fully lit and said, "Wait."
Everyone: "..."
* * *
In the center of the Array, Su Qi held the instructions and lit up the Array step-by-step.
The Array was very complex, but also very simple, because the instructions were extremely detailed.
It was as if the creator was deeply afraid that others wouldn’t be able to understand it.
And as Su Qi continued to light it up, she grew more and more astonished.
This Array was beyond her imagination. She didn’t know much, but this Array was truly incomprehensible.
The only thing she could understand was its power. This Array was simply the most powerful one she could comprehend. (She couldn’t comprehend the Holy Land Array.)
She even felt an incredible smoothness as she lit up the Array, as if it had been custom-made just for her.
’Looks like I’ll have to ask Master to thank them properly,’ Su Qi thought. ’This Array isn’t just incredible, the annotations are so meticulous. Senior Shui Luo is very thoughtful.’
’It would be great if I or my senior sister could use this kind of Array for our Tribulation Crossing. I think I need to go back and discuss it with Master.’
’I should see if we can wholesale these Arrays, maybe get a few thousand or tens of thousands of them. That way, the success rate for Holy Land Disciples Crossing the Tribulation would be much higher.’
Su Qi didn’t even consider whether it would tire the person who set up the Array to death.
After she had injected Spiritual Qi into all the nodes, she felt that her Tribulation Crossing was a sure success this time.
From a short distance away, Shui Luo asked, "Is it ready? Do a final check."
Su Qi replied, "No problem."
In fact, she had already checked it. After all, the instructions were constantly reminding her to.
’It’s all thanks to Senior Shui Luo’s kindness.’
’I have to get Master to send some really good gifts to Senior Shui Luo.’
’But something feels strange...’
With this in mind, Su Qi went to the very center of the Array and began to release her suppression. The next moment, she sensed that she was about to face her Tribulation.
The tribulation clouds began to gather.
"It’s starting," Jiang Zuo said, looking up at the sky. He could already sense the arrival of Su Qi’s Celestial Tribulation.
He had also confirmed that there were no problems with Su Qi’s preparations.
So now he was planning to find a spot to watch Su Qi cross the Tribulation.
But just as he got up, the light in front of Chu Qing suddenly stirred.
This time, the movement was extremely intense, as if something resonating with it was nearby.
Jiang Zuo turned his head to look out at the sea. Chu Qing’s father also turned to look out at the sea.
"There are many of them," Jiang Zuo said.
Chu Qing’s father asked, "What are these things?"
He was actually just asking casually, not expecting anyone to be able to answer him.
But Jiang Zuo spoke up. "Nether Sea Monsters. In that case, was it the Nether Celestial Wheel that injured Chu Qing?
"Tsk tsk. For something like this to actually escape the Netherworld River and even drive the Nether Celestial Wheel... it seems someone is pulling the strings from behind the scenes."
"I just don’t know where this person got the right to step into the depths of the Netherworld River."
The Netherworld River was a river within the sea that specifically absorbed the dead and decaying matter of the ocean. This matter would then be reborn in the Netherworld River, becoming the Sea Monsters of the Netherworld River.
The strength of these creatures was not low, but not too high either.
But with the Nether Celestial Wheel, it was a different story.
The Nether Celestial Wheel possessed the ability to devour special constitutions, assimilate them, and finally, evolve.
It could even lead a group of Sea Monsters to evolve along with it.
However, while the Netherworld River was easy to enter, it was extremely difficult to leave. Ordinary people were not qualified to go there at all; to do so was to court death.
Jiang Zuo remembered that in his previous life, a riot had once broken out in the Netherworld River. It was a disaster for the Cultivation Realm.
However, it hadn’t affected him at the time, so he hadn’t intervened from beginning to end.
Jiu Xi, on the other hand, had taken action.
She had snatched back the Nether Celestial Wheel and specifically used it against Jiang Zuo.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless against him because Jiang Zuo didn’t have a special constitution. (In reality, the Nether Celestial Wheel was already ineffective against those at Tier Seven and above.)
He still remembered how Jiu Xi had frozen for a moment, then angrily smashed the Nether Celestial Wheel to pieces.
Jiang Zuo had felt incredible at that moment. It was the most satisfying experience he’d had in years.
’That damn thing finally suffered a clear defeat at my hands.’
’It was more gratifying than killing her ten thousand times.’
It couldn’t be helped. Given Jiang Zuo’s level of achievement, anyone would assume he had a special constitution. Who would have known that his constitution was as ordinary as could be?
How on earth did such a person achieve that level of Cultivation?
In any case, Jiu Xi never understood.
Even Jiang Zuo himself didn’t understand. He had just ascended like that.
He didn’t feel there was anything too special about it; at most, he’d had a few more fortuitous encounters than others.
Later on, he basically had no fortuitous encounters related to his Cultivation. He relied solely on himself for his comprehension of the Great Dao.
Then, step by step, he ascended to the Supreme realm and surpassed it.
Finally, he became the strongest existence of all time.
Jiang Zuo shook his head. He was overthinking things. The Nether Sea Monsters had appeared now, but it was clearly different from his past life.
The scale was much smaller.
As for whether the Nether Sea Monsters had appeared at this point in time during his past life, he didn’t know.
This period of time was a blank for him.
After listening to Jiang Zuo’s explanation, Chu Qing’s father had a look of astonishment on his face. ’This person really knows?’
Jiang Zuo didn’t say anything more. Instead, he said, "This place can’t be disturbed. If any of you have a special constitution and get injured by the Nether Celestial Wheel, enter the Array. I’ll help you deal with it when I have time."
The others then looked at each other, as if asking, "Do you have a special constitution?"
Jiang Zuo said helplessly, "Stop looking. None of you do."
Then, Jiang Zuo said to Chu Qing’s father, "You do, but the Nether Celestial Wheel is ineffective on anyone at Tier Seven or higher."
Chu Qing’s father: "..."
The fact that he had a special constitution was known to very few people, yet this person had pointed it out directly.
’Just how much can he see with those eyes of his?’
’How far does this person’s insight reach?’
He felt himself being shocked once again. For some reason, he felt that in front of this person, there was no difference between himself and those juniors.
"The Nether Celestial Wheel can also devour corpses to gain power. If they’ve been killing their way here, you’d best be careful. They might not be weak." After saying this, Jiang Zuo walked out the door.
He had to go stand guard by Su Qi’s side. These creatures could easily affect her while she was Crossing the Tribulation.
