Chapter 248: Chapter 246 Sea Emperor Festival Begins! Sea Emperor Tower Emerges!

Although Ye Qingxue did not possess the interrogation skills of Hua Yufei as Lin Tianming had thought, through her violent methods, members of the Deep Sea Church still obediently divulged all their information.

These members of the Deep Sea Church chose this time to come to East Sea City precisely for the Sea Emperor Festival.

There was a treasure that the Deep Sea Church wanted from the Sea Emperor Festival, but what exactly it was, this member of the Deep Sea Church, only Level 40, didn’t know.

He only knew that the higher-ups of the Deep Sea Church did not come in person. Instead, they sent quite a few members, from Level 30 to 40, under the guise of third-year students from Jiuzhou to participate in this Sea Emperor Festival.

Once they found the hiding place of the treasure, they would join forces using some special method to directly transfer the treasure away.

After digesting the information provided by the members of the Deep Sea Church, Ye Qingxue also fell into brief contemplation.

[Could the treasure desired by the Deep Sea Church be... the very thing I did not obtain in my previous life?]

[If it really is... Even if I still can’t get it in this life, I must not let the people of the Deep Sea Church get their hands on it!]

Hearing her resolution, Lin Tianming became even more worried about tomorrow’s Sea Emperor Festival.

After some contemplation, he said, "Qingxue, we need to inform Teacher Tianshui about the information on the Deep Sea Church, so she can notify the higher-ups in East Sea City to be on guard."

"Alright, Brother Tianming, let’s go back now and find Teacher Tianshui!"

Ye Qingxue strongly agreed; during the Sea Emperor Festival, no accidents could be allowed.

Before leaving, Lin Tianming glanced at the now useless member of the Deep Sea Church.

Being stared at by Lin Tianming’s utterly emotionless gaze, the member of the Deep Sea Church who had just been beaten by Ye Qingxue began to tremble again.

"What... what are you planning to do now, you brat?"

Faced with the question from the member of the Deep Sea Church, Lin Tianming answered with his actions.

Transforming into a Mechanical Body, with a frightening Thunder Fist, Lin Tianming blew up the last member of the Deep Sea Church on the spot.

Ye Qingxue also gave a thumbs-up to Lin Tianming for his method of killing the member of the Deep Sea Church.

"Cool! These Deceit God believers who do nothing but evil should all be wiped out!"

"Alright, Qingxue, let’s hurry back to Shuijing Academy and tell Teacher Tianshui about the potential crisis facing East Sea City and the Sea Emperor Festival!"

At Lin Tianming’s call, Ye Qingxue shed her previously cold demeanor that was chilling to the bone and once again became the sweet girlfriend who liked to cling to Lin Tianming, leaving with him arm in arm.

Returning to Shuijing Academy, Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue immediately told Teacher Tianshui about their recent encounter.

Teacher Tianshui, being a good friend of Jiang Han and a soon-to-be Top Awakened, had also learned of the Yellow Clothes Church and the Deep Sea Church from Jiang Han.

However, she didn’t expect the Deep Sea Church that Jiang Han and Lin Tianming encountered in the Xiluo Domain to come to her Jiuzhou East Sea City.

Given the severity of the matter and knowing about the Deep Sea Church from her previous life, Teacher Tianshui asked Lin Tianming for confirmation.

"Little Brother Tianming, are you sure the people who appeared in East Sea City are the same Deep Sea Church members that you and Teacher Jiang Han encountered?"

Teacher Tianshui’s question immediately stunned Ye Qingxue, who wasn’t aware that Lin Tianming had also encountered the Deep Sea Church in the Xiluo Domain.

"Brother Tianming, you encountered members of the Deep Sea Church in the Xiluo Domain too?"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Tianming showed a guilty expression, "I’m sorry, Qingxue, I was worried about you and didn’t tell you about my encounter with the Deep Sea Church in the Xiluo Domain. If you want to hear it, I can tell you now."

"I want to hear it!"

Seeing that Ye Qingxue immediately wanted to listen, Lin Tianming had no choice but to roughly tell her about his and Jiang Han’s encounter with the Deep Sea Church in the Xiluo Domain.

Although Teacher Tianshui had heard it once from Jiang Han, she still silently accompanied Ye Qingxue, who was unaware, to listen.

When Lin Tianming got to the part about the annihilation scene in the Grey Sea getting close and how the Deep Sea Church’s evil plan almost succeeded, even Teacher Tianshui, who had already heard from Jiang Han, couldn’t help but gasp.

Ye Qingxue’s heart clenched, fearing that her Brother Tianming would be the first to die in Divine Martial City.

Fortunately, in the end, Lin Tianming still turned danger into safety!

After Lin Tianming finished recounting his experience in Divine Martial City, Tianshui spoke again.

"Looking at this, with the Deep Sea Church appearing in East Sea City, we must also guard against them causing the same crisis they did in Divine Martial City!

I will notify the upper echelons of East Sea City and all the Awakener elites about this matter, and we will make the most appropriate arrangements.

You two children have worked hard. Rest well and don’t overthink things. Tomorrow, follow me to attend the Sea Emperor Festival as usual!"

...

The next morning, along the coastline of East Sea City, the place was already sealed off in preparation for the Sea Emperor Festival, which all third-year students from the High-level Awakened Academy across Jiuzhou could attend.

The grand Sea Emperor Festival was about to begin, and nearly all third-year students from across Jiuzhou had arrived.

Normally, at other High-level Awakened Academies in Jiuzhou, one could advance to the third year once reaching Level 25.

Therefore, students from other academies at Level 25 could also participate in the Sea Emperor Festival.

Due to the high standards of Imperial Academy, one must reach Level 30 to advance to the third year, so those who could participate in the Sea Emperor Festival were inevitably third-year students at Level 30.

Under the protection of the Sea Emperor, Awakeners over Level 40 cannot enter the festival, which is only open to third-year students from various academies.

However, it’s not only those from Jiuzhou who can attend the Sea Emperor Festival.

Similarly, Sakura Island, located near the Jiuzhou Sea Area, also has an annual quota to participate in the Sea Emperor Festival.

Yet, it has been a long time since Sakura Island produced a Genius Awakener worthy of the quota; no one has fulfilled the conditions to use this sole quota to participate in the Sea Emperor Festival for decades.

Thanks to Teacher Jiang Han securing special quota spots for them, Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue were fortunate enough to participate in this grand gathering of the Sea Emperor Festival for third-year students across Jiuzhou, despite being only first-year students.

Patiently, Teacher Tianshui explained to them information about the Sea Emperor Festival; hence, Lin Tianming gained a certain understanding of it.

After Tianshui finished explaining some basic information, she also gestured to Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue to look towards the altar being pushed away from the shore by an array and moving towards the sea.

"To express our respect for the Sea Emperor, who protects the Jiuzhou Sea Area from calamities, at this time every year, the staff in charge of hosting the Sea Emperor Festival prepare a bountiful offering for the Sea Emperor—offerings that are all foods favored by the Sea Emperor.

Do you see that altar being slowly pushed towards the depths of the ocean by the array? When the Sea Emperor accepts the offerings on the altar, that is when the Sea Emperor Festival officially begins!"

Lin Tianming nodded and followed the direction indicated by Tianshui.

Under the enhancement of the array, the offering-laden altar floated on the sea surface, inching towards deeper waters.

Once the altar was sufficiently distant from the shore, an ethereal voice suddenly echoed.

Lin Tianming remembered that this melodious sound, like the song of the ocean, belonged to the Sea Emperor, who had returned near the coastal waters yesterday!

With everyone on the shoreline eagerly anticipating, the beautiful silhouette of the Sea Emperor, as the day before, leaped from beneath the sea surface.

Then, diving back into the water with a graceful arc, the Sea Emperor carried the offerings on the altar below the surface along with it.

Immediately after, the entire coastline began to tremble violently with the increasingly turbulent and churning waters.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone present, an ancient tower emitting the aura of the boundless ocean soon surged from beneath the raging sea.

The ancient tower, bearing the essence of the boundless ocean, shot up at a rapid pace, quickly reaching a height even taller than the high-rise buildings near the coastline.

This towering edifice stood as if connecting the seabed to the heavens, mysterious and majestic.

As the celestial phenomenon caused by this mysterious tower gradually subsided, the person in charge of hosting the Sea Emperor Festival made a loud announcement.

"Today marks the first day of the Sea Emperor Festival. Participants are required to scale the Sea Emperor Tower behind me before sunset. Those who reach the top will advance to the second day of the Sea Emperor Festival, while the unsuccessful will be eliminated!

Now, I declare that the Sea Emperor Festival officially begins!"
