After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2540 Wang Maoshi

The Holy Venerable Lingxu once assured the Heavenly Realm that he could provide the gods with over 13,000 divine bodies. Because his statement was vague and lacked further details, both the demons of the Heavenly Realm and He Lingchuan believed his boast was an exaggeration.

But today, after entering the Glazed Sea and seeing the body of the Hidden God Lord with their own eyes, everyone realized that the Holy Venerable Lingxu might be telling the truth!
This kind of sincerity is more frightening than a lie.

Ling Jinbao called out twice, "Everyone, let's discuss the real issues. Don't forget our ultimate purpose for entering the Spiritual Essence Palace!"

They've come to sabotage the divine descent plan. Having finally entered the Crystal Sea, and with the Hidden God Lord right before them, shouldn't they move on to the next step?

“This… Doukou Garden definitely can’t hold it all.” Immortal Mingke coughed lightly. “Basically, no mobile space that stores living organisms can hold such a large seaweed forest.”

The Cardamom Garden has restrictions on the size and weight of the objects it can collect. Let alone collecting the entire giant kelp forest, it would be difficult to collect even one ten-thousandth of it.

“Then only a small world can hold it,” Aunt Zhu replied, “like this crystal sea.”

The crowd looked at the ocean before them and smiled bitterly. With the size of the Hidden God, how could they possibly carry it away?

No wonder the Heavenly Demon insisted on creating a small world specifically to house it; how could an ordinary bay contain such a large seaweed forest?

“The Nine Netherworlds’ personal treasure mirror might be able to hold it.” Aunt Zhu was also cautious, emphasizing the word “maybe.” “But it can only contain living beings when they are completely still. You can’t just take them away whenever you want.”

Immortal Mingke considered: "Then we can only execute the second plan. If we can't take it with us, we'll destroy it."

But Aunt Zhu said, "There is also an immortal on the rocky beach below."

There was another person on the shore, intently supervising the mechanical puppet. He Lingchuan guessed that he must be Chief Supervisor Wang.

Hu Xin said that Supervisor Wang is on duty at Liulihai today.

There are only a few people with the authority to access this site, so they have to take turns.

"Wang Mao, the chief supervisor of Lingyun Palace, is an immortal," Ming Ke the immortal said in surprise. "When did immortals become so worthless?"

Aunt Zhu didn't mince words: "Ever since you all came out of the pass in large numbers..."

"That's not right. When did he join the Heavenly Palace?" Immortal Mingke pondered. "I've never heard of him before. Besides, what kind of place is the Spiritual Palace? Why would someone who isn't loyal to the Heavenly Palace be here?"

He Lingchuan was unavailable, so Dong Rui answered the question: "Actually, Cang Yan once collected information on Wang Maoshi, who became an immortal about a thousand years ago."

"A thousand years ago?" Everyone was astonished. "When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was insufficient, other immortals would only perish. How could he rise against the tide?"

"Even when war rages and people suffer, with countless frozen corpses on the road, there are still wealthy and powerful families, local gentry and tyrants. The Nine Netherworlds call this 'the drought-stricken and the flood-stricken.' Similarly, no matter how scarce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is, there are always a few forces that are not lacking in spiritual energy and can thrive on it. For the past few hundred years, the Illusion Sect under the command of True Immortal Qianhuan has continued to live a life of immortals in the Upside-Down Sea. The sect's disciples fly on swords, and spiritual fields and herbs are everywhere."

Aunt Zhu remarked with feeling, "Indeed! How could the Heavenly Palace be inferior to Immortal Qianhuan?"

"This Wang Maoshi was originally a descendant of a certain Duyun Envoy in the Heavenly Palace. He himself had also served as a Lamp Bearer. Because of his exceptional talent, he later lived in an underground palace in a Xuanjing mine to cultivate and actually became an immortal. This shows the Heavenly Palace's foresight."

"Mystic Crystal Vein." Even though Mystic Crystal Vein is not as rare as it used to be, everyone's tone was still full of envy.

Damn it, are the mice cultivating themselves in the rice jar?!
However, everyone understands that even with its immense wealth, the Heavenly Palace couldn't just give away Xuanjing (mystical crystals) to anyone given the spiritual environment at the time. The fact that Wang Maoshi was selected and nurtured into an immortal demonstrates the Heavenly Palace's exceptional selection and cultivation abilities.

No wonder the Heavenly Palace has developed much better than Mount Ling over the past few thousand years.

"His roots are all in the Heavenly Palace, and he became an immortal under the nurturing of the Heavenly Palace, so of course he is extremely loyal to his family."

At this moment, Chief Supervisor Wang also looked up at the two of them, and patted the two cloud carts beside him that were fully loaded. The runes on the cloud carts lit up and floated up on their own, drifting upwards along the stone steps.

Duan Heyun sighed: "The body of the Hidden God is too hard. The result of the Whirlpool Shark's hard work for most of the day is only two cartloads."

A highly skilled whirling shark can slice through fine gold with just two swift movements of its teeth, but it would be far more difficult to contend with this seaweed.

During the short time He Lingchuan observed, three or four Helicoprion sharks had completely given up and slowly sank into the sea.

Most sharks do not have a swim bladder or gill covers, and they need to keep swimming to breathe, otherwise they will suffocate and die quickly.

The other Helicoprion sharks ignored them. As if driven by an invisible force, they relentlessly dug for seaweed.

It may be difficult, but if you keep doing it, you'll eventually see results.

Wang Maoshi's voice came over first: "Why did Master Duan bring Hu Xin in?"

Duan Heyun knew this was a bit against the rules, so he quickly said, "We urgently need materials for tomorrow morning's experiment, so we'll cut them on the spot."

Wang Maoshi glanced at the two of them again.

Ling Jinbao was a little worried: "Won't this guy become suspicious? He does seem much smarter than Duan Heyun."

Duan Heyun devoted all his energy to research and paid no attention to outside affairs, while Wang Maoshi was a meticulous person.

Hu Xin from Doukou Garden confessed that Wang Maoshi was not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also shrewd and cautious, making him a master both inside and outside the palace.

Although Lingyun Palace has two chief supervisors, Deng Yanlong cannot compete with him in terms of power and is subtly inferior to him.

Fortunately, Wang Maoshi was on duty at Liuli Sea today and did not travel to Lotus Valley and Million Mountain, otherwise He Lingchuan's actions would have encountered more obstacles.

Duan Heyun coughed lightly: "While Chief Supervisor Deng is away, all affairs are handled by Hu Xin."

This means that Hu Xin has to do all of Deng Yanlong's work.

Wang Maoshi withdrew his gaze and remained silent.

If Deng Yanlong believes Hu Xin is qualified to enter the Glazed Sea, why not give him the talisman?
However, Wang Maoshi was unwilling to argue with Duan Heyun.

That incident is now behind us.

At this moment, the several fully loaded cloud carts floated up the stone steps, heading towards Duan Heyun and his companion.

The vehicle was enormous, and its size became even more apparent upon closer inspection. He Lingchuan took two steps back, his heels kicking two rocks, which tumbled merrily down the cliff.

With two "plop" sounds, water splashed up high.

The Soul-Capturing Mirror suddenly shouted, "There's something else underwater, a big one!"

He Lingchuan glanced down and saw several enormous snake shadows protruding from the bottom of the cliff and slowly swimming through the three-dimensional forest of interwoven algae.

That was clearly not someone to be trifled with; even just its underwater shadow gave off a strong sense of oppression.
