Chapter Fifty: Mountains and Seas
boundless sea of lotus petals, he saw a lotus bud drifting towards him.It grew taller and taller until it was level with Jiang Wang's gaze.Then the lotus bloomed, but at its center was not a pistil no...After the banquet at Huangliang Pavilion, Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu never stepped out of the Duke's Mansion again.
Daily practice, honing skills, and self-cultivation.
I only seek to enter the Shan Hai Realm in its most perfect state.
What made Jiang Wang happy was that the Duke of Huai occasionally took time to give lectures.
From the brutal massacre of Daqi to the esteemed master Guanyanyan, from the court official Yi Xingchen to the Grand Duke Huiguo of Chu, Jiang Wang, who had "tasted a hundred schools of thought" in his cultivation, was very good at taking advantage of such opportunities.
>
Earlier, in order to supplement his foundation, he had sought advice from friends like Chong Xuan Sheng, Li Long Chuan, and Zuo Guang Shu. There was no issue with him being unable to open his mouth.
As my abilities have grown, these friends gradually can't offer as much help...
> More is gained through constant struggle and self-reflection, seeking out our own problems to improve.
Such days, guided by the strong, were like a feast for someone starving for years, an indescribable happiness to Jiang Wang.
In such a beautiful time, February 16th, the day when the Shan Hai Jing opens, has finally arrived.

The two sat opposite each other in Zuo Guangxu's study.
The Duke of Huai's mansion was one of the safest places in Chu. They didn't have to worry about what would happen after the Shan Hai Realm ended.

The jade bi with the inscribed "Ode to Oranges" in its nine chapters, lies in Zuǒ Guāngshū's hand, patiently awaiting the opportune moment.

"Who did you originally ask to help" Jiang Wang suddenly asked.
Zuo Guangshu raised his head: "Why do you ask that"
"It just came to mind, so I asked casually."
He was a prodigious talent from the Dusk Drum Academy. With adequate compensation, Brother Jiang need not worry.
"I'm not worried... how much did you give"

Zuo Guangsu: ...
As they were speaking, the Jiuzhang Jade Bi in Zu Guangshu's hand suddenly emitted a brilliant light.
This radiance, manipulated intentionally by Zuo Guangshu, also enveloped Jiang Wang.
A circle of light enveloped the two people.
...and then extended itself, forming a cylindrical beam of light.
Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu became close friends.
It was originally a pure white light, but suddenly it became multicolored. Countless fragments of scenery swirled around him, but he couldn't make out what they depicted at all, it was just a dazzling array of strange and wonderful sights.
And then it vanished in a flash, disappearing from the study.
Meanwhile, at the State Duke's mansion, the husband sat in his study, gazing out the window thoughtfully.
Within the dazzling beams of light, Zuo Guangshu loudly asked, "Do you know what the Shan Hai is"
"What..."
Jiang Wang only managed to utter two words when the scene before him abruptly changed, and his ears were filled with the sound of waves!
Whoosh!
The boundless and endless sea.
A boundless azure blue.
Jiang Wang had seen the sea, his soul was extinguished on the Tianya Stage, and his name still echoed across the nearby islands to this day.
But the sea before my eyes, boundless and vast, stretches endlessly far.
When compared to the vast ocean, the nearshore area seemed cramped.
The seawater is crystal clear, with visible fish and coral. The underwater world is rich and diverse.
The sea is blue, like an endless mirror.
...and the sky...
Looking up at the sky, the clouds are like smoke and mist stretching for thousands of miles, resembling a magnificent scroll.
Floating mountains, reaching into the mists, seem to appear and disappear at the edge of sight.
“This is the mountains and seas!”
Zuo Guangshu was enveloped in a hazy blue smoke, floating mid-air. His voice trembled with awe and power.
Jiang Wang also activated his Wu Yu Yan Jia (Smoke Armor) beside him, enveloping himself in fiery red armor. In an instant, it neutralized the terrifying power of the Mountain Sea Realm's heavy Xuan force.
Indeed, the view before my eyes is filled with mountains and seas.
Zuo Guangshu asked, "You once became famous overseas. How is the sea there compared to this one"
"The near sea is nothing compared to this vastness, and as for the boundless ocean, I haven't seen it after the Realm of Illusion. However, the environment should be quite harsh, not as beautiful as this." Jiang Wang replied while looking around at their surroundings.
Zuo Guangshu slowly drifted down, his feet landing on the sea surface. With the power of the water, he quickly grasped the surrounding environment.
Jiang Wang sensed the primal energy here, subtly adjusting his muscle state to best adapt to the rules of the Shanhai Realm. He said, "You said you needed something, and you'd only know what it was once inside the Shanhai Realm. Now that you're here, do you know"
It is said that Huang Wei Zhen left everything here. His secrets of divinity, his Nine Phoenix Chapter, his wealth, and his ultimate skills... That's why so many people flock to this place.
Zuo Guangshu closed his eyes slowly and said, "I don't know what will appear this time... but of course I want the Nine Phoenix Chapter most."
Each person has their own "true self," which cannot be conveyed through language, recorded in words, or shared with others. Therefore, even if the way to perceive true nature could be left behind, its impact on later generations would not be so significant. The level above perceiving true nature is even more beyond description.
As the beginning of the top three realms, the Divine Manifestation Realm is a transcendence of the essence of life, directly breaking through the innate lifespan.
The most precious practice experience that Huang Wei truly embodies is his ability to leave it behind.
Hearing what Zuo Guangshu said, Jiang Wang still thought he would expect Huang Wei's secret of divine descent, but unexpectedly it was the Nine Phoenix Chapter.
"I couldn't help but say, 'I've heard you mention the Nine Phoenix Chapter before, but I still don't know what it is.'"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“This is a martial art, an artifact, and a supernatural ability. Or perhaps, it's the key to unlocking the Nine Phoenix divine power. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. All I know is that it can only reappear in some place after the previous practitioner of this martial art has died.” Zuo Guangshu explained, “Therefore, this divine power is unique.”
Secret Techniques, Relics, Supernatural Abilities
Jiang Wang heard something he had never heard before.
This is a text.
Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and in an instant, he opened the state of sound-hearing immortals.
Zuo Guangshu, who had always relied on He Bo's divine powers to explore the environment, grasped the information even faster than him. He reached out and grabbed him, and the two of them sank directly into the water.
A naturally formed oval water shield arose in the sea, shielding them within its embrace.
Here's the translation without any HTML tags:>
Thanks to Zu Guangshu's profound understanding of water movements, this water shield is almost indistinguishable from seawater.
Their defense is nearly non-existent, their greatest purpose is to help them integrate into this sea.
The smoke-dispelling armor on both of them dissipated immediately. Zu Guangshu had boasted incessantly before that he didn't care about spirit stones and would maintain the smoke-dispelling armor throughout, ensuring he was always in peak condition... Apparently, he hadn't considered the need for concealment in this situation.
Although the Smoke-Proof Armor is quite effective, it's a bit ostentatious.
In the next instant, a voice sounded in Jiang Wang's ears, "Toward" —
When he attained the state of a Sound-Hearing Immortal, ten thousand voices came to pay their respects, like subjects paying homage to their king.
But this voice sounded like it was coming from someone plotting treason, shaking Jiang Wang's celestial state of being almost to its core. He did indeed actively suppress it.
It was a call much like that of a mandarin duck.
And yet, there was a terrifying majesty between them. The power of the shriekers could almost be imagined.
This is definitely not something the current self can handle!
Just entering the Shan Hai Realm, one could encounter such a terrifying existence. Is it just too much luck, or are these kinds of monsters commonplace in the Shan Hai Realm
Set up a secret realm where the gods are forbidden to enter, and within it, terrifying monsters exist. Is Huang Wei truly not murdering
That terrifying pressure quickly approached, Jiang Wang raising his eyes through the water shield that had merged with the sea.
Then he saw a strange creature, about twenty feet long, with the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, gliding through the low air.

Is this a fish with wings Or a bird with the body of a fish
Jiang Wang couldn't tell anymore, he could only perceive from this terrifying sense of pressure that this was at least a monster with divine-level power.
Upon entering the realm of mountains and seas, one encounters a divine presence!
This made Duke Jiang's boast of sweeping across the mountains and seas appear utterly absurd.
Right now, he can only hide inside the water shield created by Zuo Guangshu, honestly observing this strange beast with him, not making an extra move.
He saw——
This fish-bodied, bird-winged beast flew low, and with a sudden snap of its jaws, its mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, like swords crisscrossed. And in the instant it opened its maw, the entire surrounding sea churned.
Boom!
Swallow everything.
It was as if the entire sea had been turned upside down, immeasurable seawater, carrying all manner of fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish... all surged into its gaping maw.
The sky was low, the clouds were heavy, and strange beasts devoured the sea!
You even feel, does it not want to gulp down this whole sea
The entire sea area covered by this terrifying power had a giant funnel... it was actually a surging flood!
Left Guangshu and Jiang Wang were hiding in the water-covering shield, of course, also being swept up in it. Within the terrifying range of suction, there was a feeling that they could be pulled away at any moment.
Once inside the belly of this beast, what could possibly be done
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I'm afraid there will be no chance of coming out again.
Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu, her hand already on her sword, inquiring with her eyes if Zuo Guangshu could hold his ground.
If it really comes down to it, the first battle in the Shan Hai Realm will be decided by this monster.
Although it's definitely impossible to win in a direct fight, Jiang Wang still had some confidence in being able to harass and escape. He could then use the Remembrance Secret Technique to meet with Zuo Guangshu.
>
Zuo Guangshu shook his head.
Fully immerse yourself in the water, grasping its power.
The Water God's power was immense, but manipulating the protective water shield with such precision to withstand the massive tidal wave while avoiding unnecessary resistance was a delicate dance. They didn't want to draw too much attention from the monstrous beast and become its next meal.
This precise grasp is the most energy-consuming part.
Though not a long time has passed, the terror of those monstrous creatures made it seem an age.
Even Jiang Wang could see the fine beads of sweat on Zuo Guangshu's forehead...
But thankfully this swallowing ordeal is finally over.
The fish-bodied, bird-winged beast closed its mouth, and the azure giant "conical funnel" formed from seawater vanished.
Then it grinned.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
From between its teeth, seawater shot down, emitting a terrifying screech, like a javelin! The sky was filled with "sea water javelins" that fell into the sea, churning the waters with ripples everywhere.
>
Shatter this Mirror of the Sea, riddling it with holes!
A fish happened to be swimming above the two people's water cage, and was directly pierced by a dropped "sea-water spear"!
A blood mist spread, obscuring the vision.
Throughout the vast expanse of the sea, countless "escaped" lives suffered a devastating blow at this very moment.
They narrowly escaped the monster's devouring, but were killed by the water it casually spat out.
The azure sea gradually turns red.
Jiang Wang carefully controlled the water element, dispelling the blood mist near him to gain a wider field of vision. Although he couldn't control water as skillfully as Zuo Guangshu, he had no problem doing these small things.
But at this very moment—
Suddenly, a "sea water spear" shot into the water shield, piercing Zuo Guangshu's right forearm!
Fresh blood, spreading in the water basin.
Jiang Wang's eyes instantly flared with anger, but Zuo Guangshu fixed him with a look.
"Brother, don't move."
He moved his lips, forming words silently.
In the face of that monstrous beast's pressure, and with the sea being so turbulent, it still manages to blend in with its surroundings.
He had exhausted all his efforts, and didn't even have the strength left to transmit a sound.
When the "seawater spear" came, Jiang Wang ignored it, but with his control over the River God's powers, of course he wouldn't miss the trajectory of this "seawater spear" in the sea.
It's not that he couldn't dodge, but once he dodged, the water curtain would be broken from its natural relationship with this sea area. His control over the river, his divine power, wouldn't work anymore, which would inevitably lead to —
The beast saw them at once!
This chimeric beast, with the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, possesses power on par with divine cultivators.
At this time, they were just eating normally and hadn't noticed the two little fish.
If things escalate to the point where Jiang Wang has to draw his sword and lure it away, the danger is unavoidable.
But he was unwilling.
Jiang Wang then fell silent.
In a moment, another “sea water spear” shot into the water dome.
This time, Jiang Wang had raised his twelve points of attention and reopened the sound-hearing fairy state. He lifted a finger and gently tapped the "Seawater Javelin" — to avoid affecting Zuo Guangshu's efforts to integrate into the marine environment, he used very little force.
Dao Yuan almost condensed it at his fingertips.
>
The "sea spear" struck his finger, striking repeatedly and yet dissolving away constantly.
Power was shattered, and voices were extinguished.
In the end, it almost vanished silently.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Only a drop of blood remained on his fingertips, a mark of his imperfect control.
But it is also the last drop.
In the time that followed, "sea water javelins" would still fall, but Jiang Wang merely raised a finger lightly. His ten fingers danced like a piano above Zuo Guangshu's head, shoulders...
Every time, he perfectly caught the "seawater javelin" and obliterated it just right, without making a sound.
This chimeric beast, with the body of a fish and wings of a bird, had swallowed too much seawater. From between its sharp teeth, "sea-water javelins" gushed out, continuing for a full half hour before finally ceasing.
And then it munched on the remaining fish in its mouth, flapping its wings and taking flight. It skimmed the surface of the sea, creating ripples that were invisible to the naked eye. Its terrifying aura caused a depression in the water, which took quite some time to recover.
This terrifying sea monster, in a single ordinary feeding, nearly wiped out this entire sea area.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
But he left eventually.
Jiang Wang let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He was truly afraid that if it continued, Zuo Guangshu wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.
Under the pressure of a divine-level monster, maintaining a full half hour of blending in with the environment is no small feat. The energy expenditure is unimaginable.
Left Guangshu smirked with a hint of youthful pride: "My research on this magical technique isn't bad, is it"
While treating his right arm wound, Jiang Wang showered him with praise: “Truly remarkable! You’re a gifted surgeon!”
It's a pity that the sedan chair, he carried it, Zuo Guangshu didn't carry it.
"I'll do it myself." Zu Guangshu brushed aside Jiang Wang's hand and demonstrated to Brother Jiang what a healing technique was. With just one hand, he healed the wound in three or five moves, almost perfectly.轉碼失敗！請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀！
