Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 358 - Chapter 358 Chapter 214 Looking at Each Other with New Eyes_2

Chapter 358: Chapter 214 Looking at Each Other with New Eyes_2 Chapter 358: Chapter 214 Looking at Each Other with New Eyes_2 This was undoubtedly related to the secret realm island where the Evil God Nier was sealed.

The mortals of these Overseas Islands had mostly realized this anomaly and began migrating toward other areas of the sea that were relatively safe.

Some powerful families began to feel fortunate they had chosen to live on ships, ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

The worst affected were those coastal ports and fishing villages.

These people had thought good times were coming as the population surged.

These locals, with the geographical advantage, thought it was hard not to get rich.

But these good times had hardly lasted a few days.

Strange incidents began occurring frequently.

The once generous masters began packing up and relocating.

This left the fishermen also feeling uneasy and fearful.

Many quick-witted ones simply sold themselves into servitude, hoping to get on the masters’ ships and leave the area.

As for taking the land route…

The locals who had heard various stories from those who had come by land already had a common understanding:

Without the protection of a great cultivator, taking the land route was a dead end!

Su Ping arrived at the port that was a frequent travel route.

The port was filled with all kinds of large wooden ships.

All the ships were now busy reprimanding servants as they loaded supplies and preventing ordinary people from boarding.

Given the significant gap in martial strength that world’s martial artists and loose cultivators had over common folk,

even though most people were in a state of panic, the port still maintained basic order.

No commoner shouted out that they would change their way of life today and then forcefully boarded a ship.

Anyone that foolish in the world of immortal cultivation would generally have gone to reincarnation before reaching adulthood.

“You remember your names, Dongfang family does!”

“Trust the Dongfang family! Anyone who works for our family and has a wooden tablet can board the ship!”

“You over there, stop talking! Keep talking and I’ll take your wooden tablet away!”

A manager stood on a high platform temporarily piled up with sandbags, using his martial voice to shout at the workers below:

“Those whose names are called, come over first!”

“Those whose names aren’t called, don’t panic, there’s another ship after this one!”

“It’s okay if you don’t have one, it’s just a few days’ delay, just eat and drink well and take care of yourself!”

“The master is kind, this time counts as your working hours, everyone gets paid!”

Having said this, the manager repeated it a few times.

The point that they would get paid even without working quieted the workers down instantly.

The manager sneered internally, already figuring out how much to deduct later.

He also despised his timid colleagues who were reluctant to take this task.

How could they be so unlucky that exactly these few days, an evil spirit would erupt?

He had relations with the chubby monk from the Little Golden Light Temple, and he confirmed multiple times privately that these coastal towns

were protected by Evil Exorcism Magic Artifacts and numerous Evil Exorcism Talismans.

The occurrence rate of evil spirits was much lower than in the wilderness.

“Making money always involves risks.”

“Compared to evil spirits, I’m more afraid of poverty!”

The manager muttered to himself, then looked up and noticed several Sword Lights slicing through the sky.

He was extremely envious of those cultivators flying around.

It was just a pity he didn’t have a Spirit Root, becoming a martial artist was already his limit in this lifetime.

But he had made up his mind.

Once he had saved enough money, he would buy a few more wives and, like the masters, have as many children as possible.

If a child who could become a loose cultivator arose from his family, his family could turn their fortunes around.

And if a child could enter a sect,

perhaps he would be called ‘master’ by his former colleagues before he died!

“Attention!”

“Be careful!”

Suddenly, shouts of cultivators came from the sea.

This was followed by dazzling lights and explosive noises.

This incident immediately caused chaos at the port.

Especially when a Sword Cultivator from the Dongfang family stumbled onto a large ship,

his both arms were completely severed.

He looked at his family on the deck, his expression changed and he shouted:

“Get to shore quickly!”

“There are sea monsters in the sea!”

As he spoke, the sea churned and threw up waves, and then various blue sea snakes and sea fish monsters with hands and feet rushed up with the waves.

All these sea monsters had blood-red eyes and exuded an evil qi.

It seemed that after coming into contact with a high concentration of Evil Qi, the sea creatures had gradually mutated into Evil Spirits, becoming puppets controlled and infected by these spirits.

Unlike the land, these sea-born Evil Spirits… actually possessed strong initiative.

They even proactively invaded the nearby port towns!

Splash!

Merchant ships that didn’t have time to dock were attacked and in the blink of an eye were engulfed by the sea, turning into debris.

“Run!”

“Immortal Leader, save us!”

Countless people began to disembark, desperately fleeing the port.

More than a dozen cultivators rushed out from the town, and the leaders, at the sight of the sea monster, beat a hasty retreat.

The strongest among these family cultivators were merely in the Late Period of Qi Cultivation.

Faced with an attack of this scale by sea monsters, they made what they believed to be the correct decision.

These family cultivators rushed towards the port, using mana to scoop up and throw their family and friends out of the port area.

They intended to evacuate.

But then, suddenly, there was a huge splash from the sea surface, and an Evil Spirit, the size of a small hill and resembling a giant octopus, emerged.

This octopus, seeing the mana-reactive cultivators, suddenly extended a kilometer-long tentacle from the sea, then slashed it downwards.

“Dodge quickly!”

Not a single cultivator dared to resist, each scattering like birds and beasts.

They could only watch helplessly as the tentacle struck a wooden boat, preparing to smash everyone on board into pieces…

Just then!

Su Ping, who arrived at the scene, realized he was the only one in the Foundation Establishment stage there.

He turned into a blur as he flew over, summoning his Divine Arm to directly grab the descending tentacle.

With a fierce grip, he forcibly broke it off.

Su Ping then swept his Divine Sense across the sea ahead.

Alarmed by the number of opponents, yet he wasn’t too panicked.

Instead, he dived into the sea with great force.

Then, he immediately summoned the young Mysterious Turtle in the ocean.

As soon as the Mysterious Turtle appeared, it transformed into a kilometer-long body and like a torpedo, it charged towards the giant octopus.

Boom!

The ocean, with the two giant beasts clashing, raised enormous waves that surged into the sky and then fell like torrential rain all around.

Even the port experienced a heavy rainfall.

Touching the slightly salty rain on their faces, a few family cultivators stared wide-eyed at the display at sea, momentarily lost in thought.

Someone exclaimed aloud:

“That senior who just acted, I don’t know which sect’s True Inheritor he is, but that display was at least from a great cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, right?”

“Foundation Establishment Senior…”

“Don’t just stand there dumbfounded, the senior has acted to slay demons and exorcise evil, we should also take action to avoid accidentally harming the innocent!”

As the family cultivators who were muttering to themselves still stood in their place, whispers reached their ears, and they quickly changed their expressions and sprang into action.

As they struggled to maintain order, blocking the falling water masses, some time passed.

Finally, the sea surface returned to calm.

A mere newly-born sea creature Evil Spirit, while large, its realm was merely at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

If it were up against cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation World of the same realm, it might have stood a chance.

Facing the Mysterious Turtle, a Divine Beast of the same realm, it was utterly outclassed.

With Su Ping also by the side to support, occasionally clearing out the lesser monsters.

Winning was only natural.

After collecting the remains of that sea creature Evil Spirit.

Su Ping was not overly joyful.

The sea, while slightly slower than the land, was not completely unaffected by the Evil Qi.

As the seals of various secret realms were broken, the invasion of Evil Qi would not overlook any crevice in the Immortal Cultivation World.

“The number of sea-born Evil Spirits might not be less than those on land,” Su Ping thought.

“If they all possess the initiative to come ashore like the previous one,”

“Then all the coastal people might face the risk of these sea monster invasions!”

Su Ping flew out of the sea, sighing lightly.

Suddenly, he recalled that among the few family cultivators he had just saved,

Some seemed… somewhat familiar?

Now that he had the chance to reflect.

Su Ping remembered that two of the cultivators were actually his fellow Outer Sect disciples from the same period at the Immortal Sect.

While not close friends, they had shared experiences working together mining and farming.

Unexpectedly under the great changes,

They had left the Immortal Sect and returned to their families to become family cultivators, only to almost perish in the sea monster attack.

And he… had already become a great cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage,

Becoming a presence they dared not look up at as he hovered in the sky!
