Just a single drop of Moonlight Divine Water had tormented Luo Xiu for nearly an entire night.

However, when Luo Xiu regained consciousness, he found that the night's suffering had not been in vain.

Closing his eyes and looking inward, he could see a vast, boundless sea. This "sea" existed within his mind!

"Big Brother, congratulations! You've opened up a Spiritual Ocean, which means your Divine Sense has reached the realm of Divine Separation," Lin Tong's voice resounded in Luo Xiu's mind.

Luo Xiu took a deep breath and quietly released his Divine Sense, clearly perceiving everything within a radius of several hundred meters.

Five hundred meters away, a Wolf-headed Demon was squatting in an outhouse. He had probably eaten something bad last night, as he still had diarrhea. While wiping himself, he accidentally got some on his hand. Seeing no one around, he smeared it on the wall…

Three hundred and twenty meters away, Dou Dou was bouncing around in her room, doing a primary school calisthenics routine called "Colorful Sunshine," her little form very earnest. For her, this was her daily morning cultivation.

Two hundred and seventy-three meters away, Chi Sha had just gotten out of bed and was taking off her clothes, apparently planning to take a bath…

Suddenly, Chi Sha turned her head and glared fiercely at the void, as if she sensed Luo Xiu's Divine Sense spying on her.

"Little guy, believe it or not, this king will gouge out your eyes!"

Luo Xiu immediately felt a sharp pain in his mind. The Divine Sense he had released was instantly repelled, and his body shook involuntarily as he clutched his head and howled in pain.

Seeing Luo Xiu's setback, Lin Tong laughed heartlessly. "I'm telling you, Big Brother, you really were asking for trouble. Of all the people to peek at, you had to choose that hot-tempered Little Queen."

"..."

After a long while, everyone gathered in the great hall.

The previous night, after Zhu Hong was killed and Tang Ao fled back to the Upper Realm, Zhu Hui had taken Xia Chan and run away. As a result, Zhangwei Mountain was now without a master.

However, Luo Xiu had no intention of being an interloper, nor had he considered doing anything to the Demon Beasts of Zhangwei Mountain.

Yao Ritian was lying on the ground, sobbing loudly over the loss of one of his brothers. Of the Kunlun Four Tiger Generals, only three remained.

After consoling him for a bit, Luo Xiu found Chi Sha to discuss serious matters.

However, before he could even speak, Chi Sha kicked him in the rear.

Luo Xiu rubbed his backside, his face full of grievance. He was furious but didn't dare say a word.

He knew exactly why Chi Sha had kicked him; it was obviously because he had peeked at her with his Divine Sense earlier.

Even so, Luo Xiu felt it was quite unfair.

"I wasn't looking at your body, so what business is it of yours?"

Chi Sha huffed coldly, ignoring his excuse. "If you dare to be so filthy again," she said icily, "be careful this king doesn't castrate you!"

A shiver went down Luo Xiu's spine, and he scrambled back to put some distance between himself and Her Majesty the Queen.

"By the way, where is Mu Xueyan?"

Chi Sha answered slowly, "Previously, outside Zhangwei Mountain, her battle with Yang Zhilu grew more and more intense. Eventually, they disappeared, and no one knows where they went. This king searched for them but couldn't find them."

Luo Xiu sighed. "Forget it. With her skills, she should be fine."

He didn't want to waste time searching for Mu Xueyan.

After getting their things in order, Luo Xiu's party left Zhangwei Mountain and headed for their destination, led by Yao Ritian.

「Outside Zhangwei Mountain.」

In a certain cave dwelling, Xue Xiao walked up to Xia Chan and asked, "Miss, Yingxiao just sent word that Chen Shuisheng and his group have set out. Should we follow them?"

Xia Chan slowly opened her eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.

"Let's go."

Xue Xiao asked, "Should we bring Zhu Hui along?"

Thinking back to the previous night's events, Xia Chan wanted nothing more than to give Zhu Hui a vicious beating. If that fool hadn't summoned those two pieces of trash from the Upper Realm, she wouldn't have nearly been violated and humiliated.

But on second thought, she couldn't really blame anyone else, since she had been the one to agree to it.

"No need. Let him stay at Zhangwei Mountain and properly train those Demon Beasts."

"Understood."

Compared to Tuof, Yao Ritian, a native of the Shanhai Territory, seemed to know the route to the seabed much better.

The three tigers carried Luo Xiu, Dou Dou, and Chi Sha respectively, flying along the Crimson River. It took them only a week to reach their destination.

By the shore of Tonghai Lake, Yao Ritian landed smoothly with Luo Xiu on his back. "Your Majesty the Supreme King, there's a Teleportation Array at the bottom of this lake that leads to the seabed."

"Going to the seabed through this array will send you to a random location. I hope you're transported somewhere safe."

He continued, "The so-called Shanhai Territory is composed of two parts: 'mountain' and 'sea.' We are land-based Demon Beasts, so we can't go to the seabed. Besides, I'm injured and would only be a burden to Your Majesty. So, from here on, Your Majesty the Supreme King must walk the path alone."

Luo Xiu hopped down from the broad tiger's back and reached out to rub Yao Ritian's furry head.

"Thanks."

"Ah, Your Majesty is too polite."

"Your Majesty, you must be careful! Come back soon. The Great King and the rest of us will be waiting for you at Kunlun Mountain."

Luo Xiu nodded. "You three be careful on your way back to Kunlun Mountain as well."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. In this Shanhai Territory, no one dares to provoke us from Kunlun Mountain."

As he spoke, Yao Ritian swiped his paw, and three small beads emitting a spirit light flew out as if from thin air.

"Oh, right, Your Majesty, these are Water-Repelling Pearls refined from the essence blood of the Kun Tribe. They aren't exactly high-end magical treasures, but they'll come in handy in the sea."

Luo Xiu reached out and took them. "Thanks."

Luo Xiu was, of course, familiar with Water-Repelling Pearls, a type of magical treasure capable of repelling water.

A moment later, the trio jumped into the lake. The Water-Repelling Pearls they wore immediately emitted a soft glow, forming a bubble that held back the surrounding water. It was a wondrous sight.

Inside her bubble, Dou Dou bounced up and down, even poking the large bubble enveloping her with the tip of her umbrella while exclaiming how awesome it was.

Luo Xiu glanced at her. "Stop playing around. Keep up."

With that, the three of them swam toward the array at the bottom of the lake.

As the array activated, darkness flooded their vision. The next moment, they appeared on the seabed.

Surrounded by colorful coral reefs, Luo Xiu looked around, bewildered. He had completely lost his sense of direction. This was a totally unfamiliar place.

"Where are we?"

Chi Sha released her Divine Sense to investigate. After a moment, she said, "We're near Shuiqin Island, in a shallow sea region. Let's find a boat on Shuiqin Island first, then head to the deep-sea region."

Luo Xiu was surprised. "You seem quite familiar with this place."

Chi Sha replied indifferently, "You could consider this sea my homeland."

Dou Dou asked, "Does that mean this sea is also connected to Earth?"

Chi Sha explained, "Strictly speaking, the entire Shanhai Territory exists inside of Earth. Although connected to it, it's also completely sealed off. The Moon Tide Siphon you mentioned earlier must be a natural phenomenon that allows the two spaces to connect for a short time."

Luo Xiu suddenly remembered something. "Where do we need to go to find your body?"

"Penglai Immortal Island."

Luo Xiu made a decision instantly. He smiled and said, "Then after we find a boat on Shuiqin Island, we'll head directly to your Penglai Immortal Island. I did promise to help you find a new body, after all."

Chi Sha looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"Aren't you in a hurry to find someone?"

Luo Xiu replied, "Taking you to Penglai Immortal Island won't cause any delays. It's in the deep-sea region anyway, so it's right on our way."

"..."

As they talked, the three surfaced from the water, stowed their Water-Repelling Pearls, and took to the air.

Under Chi Sha's guidance, about an hour later, Luo Xiu saw an island in the distance—Shuiqin Island!

But contrary to Chi Sha's description during their journey, the island was neither beautiful nor peaceful.

On the contrary, it looked like Hell.

The sea around the island was almost entirely dyed red with blood, and the mutilated limbs and decaying corpses of Sea Monster Beasts floated everywhere.

Meanwhile, the island itself was ablaze, choked with smoke, and the sounds of battle could be heard from time to time.

Luo Xiu glanced at Chi Sha's profile. "Is there a war going on on the island?"

Chi Sha's expression turned grim, a murderous glint in her eyes.

"The Seal Clan on Shuiqin Island are kind and simple by nature, but they are also weak… They must have been invaded."

Luo Xiu asked, "So, are we just going to watch, or should we help?"

Chi Sha's gaze turned icy. "Shuiqin Island was once a power under the protection of the Nation of the Great!"
