Chapter 2719: Chapter 1252: Descent of the Purple Cloud Palace, Deep Sea Giant Beasts (Part 2)

And their ascent from the deep sea to the surface resulted in an unprecedented terrifying tsunami on this planet.

Chen Mobai remained unaffected.

After all, within the Purple Cloud Palace, even those with great abilities in the Pure Yang Realm don’t dare to act rashly.

Moreover, these Deep Sea Giant Beasts, despite their terrifying momentum and the vast and majestic Water Spirit Qi they stir, under the Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai has discerned that they’re merely Rank-4.

These Deep Sea Giant Beasts might have lived for a very long time, with energy inside them comparable to Divinity Transformation, yet they likely don’t understand cultivation and lack Spiritual Wisdom, thus stuck at the pivotal step of transformation.

But as he listened to the Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai discovered that these Deep Sea Giant Beasts were circulating their vast Vital Essence to maintain their complete bodies under low pressure. Although their methods varied based on individual differences, the principles and framework were consistent.

Does this mean someone taught them?

Chen Mobai thought of the Spiritual Venerable, who had spent thousands of years in the Earth Element Star ocean enlightening the sea creatures, eventually establishing a kingdom in the Sea Territory.

So has this process repeated on this planet?

As Chen Mobai pondered this, the distant water surface began to churn intensely, with each surge of towering waves, an enormous creature slowly emerged.

This creature resembled a giant octopus, and once its head surfaced, dozens of tentacles as thick as adult whales rose with a boom, slapping the water and causing more terrifying sounds and waves, resembling a dark island suddenly appearing on the sea surface.

But that was only the beginning.

Amidst thunderous sounds, a serpent-dragon-like creature with three heads surfaced, its central head opening a bloody maw in a roar; a massive black-green turtle rose like an expanse on land; and a Strange Fish with transparent wings yet armored with thick steel-like scales...

Their appearance intensified the tsunami, spreading waves over hundreds of meters high. Meanwhile, the spiritual energy of nature on this planet gathered towards them, with thunder echoing through the cloudy sky.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.

These creatures are clearly the planet’s indigenous life forms, with Vital Essence and energy likely surpassing ordinary Divinity Transformation; if they possessed an Immortal Dao cultivation technique compatible with their physique, they could easily attain the Undying Body.

Yet, even the Spiritual Venerable would find this extremely challenging.

After all, the Spiritual Venerable is most familiar with the physique of his Kunpeng, and even the cultivation technique customized for Narcissus only allows Body Forging up to Rank-4. In the Immortal Gate, Narcissus achieved Divinity Transformation through the Six Imperial Scripture, forming a Primordial Spirit.

Hence, Chen Mobai noted that although these Deep Sea Giant Beasts have some methods to temper physiques with Vital Essence, they are rudimentary.

But perhaps, an opportunity had arrived.

If these Deep Sea Giant Beasts could use this chance to enter the Purple Cloud Palace and complete their cultivation paths, they might break the shackles and attain the Undying Body. Even dual cultivating like the Spiritual Venerable might allow them to form a Primordial Spirit.

This might be why Master Zi Xiao left the Purple Cloud Palace.

To leave a gateway of transcendence for all living beings in the world.

Thinking of this, Chang Mobai felt deeply the righteousness of his teacher and turned again, bowing towards the direction of the Green Lotus Stone Platform on behalf of cosmic sentient beings.

As the three thousand steps of the Purple Cloud Palace gradually formed, more and more Deep Sea Giant Beasts surfaced, some less spiritually wise and impatient enough to begin gnashing their teeth at weaker neighboring creatures.

With battles beginning, they quickly spread.

The most powerful Deep Sea Giant Beasts stood their ground; if any creature dared invade, they would not hesitate to swallow them whole.

Soon, the once clear water surface turned red with blood.

Witnessing this, Chen Mobai realized the intertwined nature of blessings and calamities.

If not for the arrival of the Purple Cloud Palace, these deceased creatures might have lived for a long time, basking in glory in the deep sea. Now, however, they’ve been lured out and turned into sustenance for stronger beasts.

Chen Mobai sighed softly, wondering why the Spiritual Venerable hadn’t appeared.

Considering the Purple Cloud Palace has descended upon the Earth Element Star more than once, the Spiritual Venerable should be well acquainted with the situation.

In theory, as the Purple Cloud Palace appears in the Outer Space Void, its landing spot should be calculated, awaiting its arrival.

Yet the Spiritual Venerable hasn’t shown. If in secluded cultivation, immersed in a Meditation State, he should react as the Purple Cloud Palace entered his Law Domain.

And now, not only has his Law Domain been dispersed by the Purple Cloud Palace, but the awakening of the planet’s ancient beasts has sparked global hurricanes.

The Spiritual Venerable should be stirred unless he has died.

Chen Mobai waited for several days as the three thousand Great Dao steps nearly reached completion, yet still no sign of the Spiritual Venerable.

A sense of foreboding crossed his mind immediately.

Such circumstances only leave a few possibilities.

One is the Spiritual Venerable has been gravely injured or died.

Another is he’s encountered a formidable enemy, unable to escape.

But neither possibility is favorable news.

Considering this, Chen Mobai abandoned caution, unleashing his Second Primeval Spirit when Void Illusion couldn’t find traces.

A Treasure Bead rose behind his head, transforming into a firelight and shining atop the highest step of the Purple Cloud Palace.

The Second Primeval Spirit commenced at the Purple Cloud Palace, employing the Heaven Comprehension Earth Spirit of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram, attempting with this Secret Technique to find the core Spirit Vein of this planet.

Yet the Boundary Domain Cave Heaven had sublimated into the Law Domain, transcending beyond the ordinary.

The Heaven Comprehension Earth Spirit, Echoes in the Void, Haotian Mirror’s illumination—none could find a trace.

It’s as if the planet’s core vanished into thin air.

Chen Mobai then realized how powerless and helpless those facing their Law Domain opponents must feel.

Even he, who has also formed the Law Domain, can do nothing.

Considering the Spiritual Venerable’s possible plight, Chen Mobai continued his efforts.

He quickly conceived an idea, his Second Primeval Spirit flashing back to the Purple Cloud Palace before the giant octopus that surfaced first. The latter showed curiosity upon spotting the Second Primeval Spirit.

[I have something to ask.]

Chen Mobai courteously transmitted his message using Divine Sense, ready for the giant octopus’s incomprehension, trying on the off chance.

Surprisingly, it responded: [Greetings... Dao Friend...]

Though the information transmitted via Divine Sense was awkward, Chen Mobai was certain it was in Earth Element Star’s language and narrative style.

Indeed, the Spiritual Venerable imparted his teachings here!

At that moment, Chen Mobai was utterly convinced.

He reached out to draw in the Void, condensing the surrounding moisture into the true form and two great Primordial Spirits of the Spiritual Venerable, asking the giant beast before him about its knowledge.

[Master!]

Upon Chen Mobai forming the Spiritual Venerable’s image from the moisture, the surrounding beasts all respectfully addressed the Spiritual Venerable’s Heavenly Peng Primeval Spirit with reverence.

Chen Mobai: "I’m a fellow of the Spiritual Venerable. Might you know where the Spiritual Venerable is now?"
