Cultivation Online-Chapter 680: Sea Demon Identified

Chapter 680: Sea Demon Identified

"Reincarnation? Do you believe the Young Master is the reincarnation of a powerful immortal in the past? Do you even believe in the concept of reincarnation at all?" Feng Yuxiang looked at Xiao Hua with raised eyebrows.

Xiao Hua didn't appear to be the type to believe in these kinds of things.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Hua spoke, "Although Xiao Hua doesn't necessarily believe in reincarnation, her family believes in it."

"Your family? I have been wondering for a while now, but what kind of family do you have?"

"..."

As Feng Yuxiang expected, Xiao Hua refused to say anything about her family.

"Whatever. Not that I really care. Anyways, if the Young Master is really the reincarnation of a powerful expert, I believe it. After all, I am a phoenix— I symbolize reincarnation itself."

Chu Liuxiang listened to their conversation with raised eyebrows.

Although she doesn't believe in reincarnation, she found the topic to be quite interesting.

This was also the case for Min Li.

"Let's say Yuan is the reincarnation of someone else… Is there a way to test that?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.

"There are many mythical treasures in the world of cultivation, right? Surely, there must be a treasure that can tell whether someone is reincarnated or not."

Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment before speaking, "Actually, there's one. However, it's only a legend."

"It's called the Mirror of Samsara. Legend has it that anyone that stands in front of this mirror will have their past lives revealed by the mirror."

"It's only a legend? From my experience, all legends turn out to be just that— legends…" Chu Liuxiang sighed.

"Actually, the Mirror of Samsara really exists. The legend is that it can tell one's past lives." Feng Yuxiang said.

"If the treasure exists, why does this legend still exist?"

"Probably because nobody can confirm it. The Mirror of Samsara is being kept by a powerful collector who doesn't allow anyone near his treasures, so even though the treasure exists, it's not accessible, hence the legend."

"The collector is probably doing it on purpose to keep the treasure rarer than its actual value, so when it's time to sell the treasure, it'll earn much more money. It's a pretty common tactic for collectors." Chu Liuxiang shrugged.

"You seem to know a lot about this topic. Are you also a collector?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"No, but my family is."

After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang asked, "Let's hypothetically say that Yuan is reincarnated. What will you all do?"

Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "Nothing. Once someone dies, their identity and everything else dies with them, so even if the Young Master is reincarnated, it won't affect him or change who he currently is."

Xiao Hua nodded, "Brother Yuan is Brother Yuan no matter who he was in his previous life."

"Is that so…"

They returned to watching the pond shortly after.

The following day, Yuan opened his eyes when there was another announcement in the ship.

"This is an emergency! I repeat, this is an emergency! There is currently a large-size Sea Demon heading towards our direction, and it is very likely that it's a Leviathan! We will need the cooperation of everyone on the ship if it really turns out to be a Leviathan! Please prepare yourselves!"

Everybody on the ship began to freak out after they heard the announcement.

"A Leviathan is coming?! How can we possibly fight that monster?!"

"We're dead! We're all dead!"

"Fuck… I think I jinxed it for us…" Qin Kai rubbed his temples in a stressful manner.

"They said it might be a Leviathan. It's not confirmed yet." Yuan said.

"I know, but there's a good chance that it's a Leviathan."

"How powerful is a Leviathan?"

"Most of them are as powerful as a mid-level to peak-level Spirit King. Some of them even have the prowess of a low-level Spirit Emperor. We might barely survive an ordinary Spirit King, but if it has the strength of a Spirit Emperor, we're all guaranteed to die." Qin Kai sighed.

"Do we have any Spirit Kings onboard?"

"There is always one or two of them aboard, but even then, we might not defeat a Leviathan. Sea Demons are just like magical beasts in the sense that they're much more powerful than humans that are at the same level."

"Strength of a Spirit Emperor…" Yuan muttered in a low voice.

Compared to his last trial, this second trial is definitely more difficult.

Unfortunately, the only thing they can do now is wait and see what this large-size Sea Demon really is.

After another day of anxious waiting and without anyone getting a good sleep, if any at all, the announcement returned, "We have identified the Sea Demon approaching us! It's— It's a Leviathan!"

This announcement brought many people on the ship to tears, as their worst nightmares have come true.

However, there was still more to be announced, and it only made people feel more despair.

"Furthermore, it's not an ordinary Leviathan! It's a mutated Leviathan— a Flying Leviathan!"

"WHAT?! A FLYING LEVIATHAN?!" Qin Kai exclaimed in a shocked voice.

Seeing Qin Kai's reaction, Yuan could only swallow nervously.

"The Flying Leviathan will arrive in two hours! We need all Cultivators on the deck now!"

The announcement ended there.

A moment of silence filled the ship, but when that silence ended, chaos erupted, and Yuan could hear screaming and crying coming from every room there.

"Let me guess… a Flying Leviathan has the strength of a low-level Spirit Emperor." Yuan asked Qin Kai, who slowly nodded his head.

"Unfortunately, that's not all there is to it. There are many different species when it comes to Leviathans, and the Flying Leviathan is one of the most dangerous types, as they can leave the water and fly around in the sky like a dragon…" Qin Kai continued.

Yuan closed his eyes and released a deep sigh.

"Flying or not… I will not let it stop us from reaching the Giant's Continent."
