From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The entire space trembled, and the dragon fire gathered into a tornado shape, swirling around the Jianmu tree and blasting away all the merfolk outside.

Lu Jin waved his hand, recalling the nine long nails that were moving around outside. He fastened them to his waist, took a deep breath, and shouted in a booming voice that echoed throughout the Jianmu tree, "Everyone hold on tight! The Jianmu tree is about to take off!"

Then, Lu Jin extended his magnetic field and pulled Gu Qian and the others, who were still outside killing the merfolk, into the Jianmu tree, saying, "You're all agile. Take advantage of this time to kill the merfolk who burrowed into the Jianmu tree earlier!"

Gu Qian and his group nodded, their eyes flashing with murderous intent. Following the trail of the merfolk, they were determined to wipe them out completely!

Because the merfolk were much weaker and slower after leaving the water, Gu Qian and the others, being a boat-dwelling people, were able to adapt to the vibrations of the Jianmu tree. They moved as if on flat ground and found most of the merfolk who had burrowed into the Jianmu tree in a very short time, dealing with them one by one.

The remaining few merfolk killed three or five people, which aroused the people's anger. They were attacked by the crowd and were also eliminated.

At that very moment, seawater filled the entire Guixu space. The essence of the moon pills inlaid on the nine-legged, eight-sided cauldron, the stone cauldron, and the bronze figure was eroded by the flow of energy and radiated outwards, forming streaks of silver light that covered the original dragon fire and created a magnificent aurora scene.

Jianmu became the center of this scene, rising between the spirals of silver light and instantly breaking the chains that were thicker than a human body, and passing through a vortex passage composed of silver light, red dragon fire and blue seawater.

Wave!

It felt like a moment, yet also like an eternity!

The Jianmu tree left the Guixu space and entered the real ocean. The swirling force it carried stirred up the seawater once again, creating a whirlpool several miles in diameter on the surface. Within this whirlpool, a Jianmu tree shot into the sky, carrying the water below, and in an instant rose to a height of nearly a hundred meters above the sea.

If someone were to look at this scene from a distance, it would be as if they were watching an invisible whale spouting a column of water—magnificent and dazzling!

The seawater cascaded down from the sky, refracting and reflecting the sunlight to create a ring of rainbow light that enveloped the Jianmu tree.

exactly!

Ten kilometers away, a cruise ship was sailing in the East China Sea. The people on board saw this scene from afar and were all amazed.

Let's look at Jianmu again.

Ultimately, it wasn't a rocket, but rather something that had gathered the power of the Guixu Qiju, reaching its limit at a height of 100 meters above the sea.

I want to ascend to the moon—

A fool's dream.

thump!

The Jianmu tree descended and fell into the water. The "passengers" inside were hit by this blow, and their internal organs churned, their viscera shook, and their spirits fainted. Many of the weaker people died on the spot.

"There's a boat!"

Some people remained conscious, lying on the broken Jianmu tree, and saw a giant ship sailing towards them in the distance. Despite their exhaustion, they shouted loudly.

The remaining conscious people also waved and shouted.

There are people in the sea!

Passengers on the cruise ship observed the people clinging to the log through binoculars. Some were shocked, some were curious, but adhering to the principle of saving lives and the purpose of finding the root cause, the captain of the cruise ship still launched lifeboats and ordered the sailors to go and rescue them.

"The Sago!"

The old captain of the Alexander recognized the giant ship and exclaimed, "This is a giant ship that only the rich can afford to ride on!"

The Sago.

A luxury cruise ship, with passengers all wealthy and adorned with jewels, sails not to explore new continents or search for gold, but to fulfill the dreams of the rich on board to travel the world.

"The gap between East and West is just too great!"

Thinking of her hometown and seeing the "leisurely pursuits" of Westerners, who even built such a colossal vessel to travel the world, Duanmu Ying, sitting on the Jianmu tree, wringing out the water stains from her clothes, felt a strange sense of loss. But she quickly perked up, because her purpose in going to the West was to study and experience all sorts of new and exciting things…

# Chapter 502 The Mermaid of Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao

Inside the ruins.

As soon as the wooden structure "ascended," the bronze palace and mountains collapsed, releasing the pressure accumulated over thousands of years and destroying the history of the Kingdom of Hatred.

The nine-legged, eight-sided cauldron shattered, and the stone cauldron and iron tree collapsed. The Guixu Qiju regained its "freedom" and returned to its original state, but it also allowed the Jiaomu, who had been suppressed under the stone cauldron and iron tree, to be born.

The Jiao Mu is enormous, about thirty or fifty meters long, and its entire body is covered with jet-black scales, interspersed with white placentas.

Although it's called a shark, it's actually more like a giant mutated sea cucumber or sea anemone.

Or perhaps it truly wanted to ascend on the Jianmu tree, but was blocked by Jiang Liu and missed the opportunity. The merfolk who burrowed into the Jianmu tree were also blocked and killed by Lu Jin and the others, which made it extremely angry at this moment. It summoned all the surviving merfolk, and the placenta around its body was squeezed as its body writhed, giving birth to small merfolk.

In just a short while, the Guixu space, filled with azure seawater, was filled with tens of thousands of merfolk of all sizes.

The merfolk swayed their bodies, their spiritual powers intertwined, forming an invisible network of spiritual energy that covered the entire Ruins of Return.

Immediately, a voice, indistinguishable between male and female, entered Jiang Liu's mind amidst the surging undercurrents and rippling waves, asking, "Why are you hindering my ascension?"

"A reason?"

Jiang Liu stroked the storage ring on his left index finger with his right hand, and grasped the iron rod in his hand. With a swirl of sea air, he stirred up thousands of waves, pushing all the surrounding mermaids away several miles away. "Let's restore order to this Guixu and let it return to the form of the Kunpeng."

Don't you want to ascend to immortality?

The Mermaid questioned.

"Do not want to."

Jiang Liu swung his staff, using the Kunpeng talisman to stir up thousands of ocean currents, scattering the merfolk who had gathered again, and said leisurely, "I am unwilling to abandon my physical body."

The Mermaid was puzzled by this, but she said nothing more and manipulated thousands of mermaids to follow the sea currents and stabilize their forms.

As a mermaid who has lived in the Guixu space for thousands of years, she does not understand the principles of the formation of the Qi formation, but she is still able to utilize it.

Furthermore, it also grasped the principles of the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams...

Although they misunderstood the content and reasoning, to the point that they believed that ascension to heaven meant taking one's physical body with them to the moon.

However, it can also use the power of the Ruins to stir up ocean currents.

In an instant, not only did the Guixu Space ripple wildly, but even the ocean outside began to fluctuate, showing a tendency to form a whirlpool ocean once again!

Most of the refugees on the Alexander had already boarded the Yago. Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, the old captain, the old security captain, Jonathan, Gu Qian, and eight others, along with three or five brave sailors, were still wandering in the waters around Jianmu and nearby, searching for any survivors who might not have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Jonathan wasn't trying to save anyone, but he noticed that some of the drowned or unconscious people were wearing valuable rings, gold watches, jade, and the like—something he couldn't let slip by!

And so, they became the last group of people still in the sea.

at this time!

The sea was churning, and the sky was darkening.

The crew of the Alexander, who had already boarded the Sago, were terrified when they saw the sky and shouted for the captain of the Sago to set sail.

"Wait! Wait a little longer! Trust us!"

Lu Jin shouted, "Nothing will happen again! Trust Jiang Liu! Wait for him to come up! Please wait a little longer!"

"No! Don't wait!"

Those crew members on the Alexander who had been reprimanded by Jiang Liu stood up at this moment and shouted to the captain and sailors of the Alexander:

"Speed ​​the boat! They're not good people!"

"Once the vortex forms, we won't be able to escape!"

"The captain of the Alexander is no good either; he actually helped the Easterners and made us carry away the corpses!"

"Hurry! Otherwise it will be too late!"

"..."

The captain of the Yago was also experienced and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and whirlpools were emerging on the sea. He made a decisive decision and set sail without caring that there were people below!

"and many more!"

"There are still people who haven't boarded the ship!"

"We haven't even boarded the ship yet! You bunch of bastards!"

When Jonathan saw that the Yago had actually sailed directly away from the area, he disregarded the jewelry and gold he had looted from the dead passengers and swam away with all his might. However, he was swept away by the white waves created by the Yago as it sailed away and was plunged into the sea, choking on seawater.

In the end, Lu Jin used a magnetic field to pull him out of the sea.

"Cough cough!"

Lying on the Jianmu tree, Jonathan coughed incessantly. He reached behind him and found that the bag was gone. All his previous efforts had been in vain, even the pearl he had obtained in the Guixu Space had sunk to the bottom of the sea. He was on the verge of tears, and cursed viciously, "Those ungrateful bastards, they actually abandoned us like this!"

"After the river flows ashore, how should we leave?" Duanmu Ying believed that the river would not die, but looking at the strange phenomenon of the sky darkening and the sea surging, she was worried about how to get ashore.

Even the ancient dragon households and otter families like Gu Qian couldn't possibly stay in the sea for a long time, right?

"Brother Jiang will have a solution."

Watching the Yage ship sail away into the distance, Lu Jin clenched his fists, but eventually let them fall. His gaze fell on the increasingly turbulent whirlpool. He took a deep breath, extended several magnetic fields, and bound everyone to his side. He also held onto the Jianmu tree to prepare for the possible formation of a huge whirlpool. He reassured Duanmu Ying and the others, "His abilities are beyond your imagination. As long as we hold on and don't get swept away by the currents, he will definitely be able to take us safely to the mainland!"

At this point, everyone had no other choice but to believe in miracles...

···

"Is this all the power you have to stir up the waters of the South China Sea?"

Inside the Ruins of Guixu, Jiang Liu watched the Jiao Mu's actions with awe.

The way the Mermaid controls the Void is not difficult to explain:

Using the merfolk as their spiritual vessel, they travel with the sea's energy and construct a spiritual network that permeates the entire Guixu Qi Bureau.

Let's make an analogy.

Ocean and sky within the Guixu area = human body

The circulation of Qi in the Guixu Qi formation equals the circulation of Qi throughout the human body.

The only difference is that cultivating the circulation of Qi requires one's own mental will to move it, while the flow of natural Qi does not.

The mermaid's manipulation adds a spiritual consciousness, a unique spiritual consciousness, to this natural flow of energy.

This is possession!

However, the moment Jiang Liu finished speaking, the iron rod in his hand instantly extended and pierced into the enormous body of the Mermaid. The energy circulated throughout her body, penetrating the Mermaid's body along the iron rod. During this process, the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon possessed the golden hoops at both ends of the iron rod, transforming into dragon and dragon bodies. They merged with the transformed energy and entered the Mermaid's body together, forming a dragon and snake dance. In just a moment, the Mermaid's body was shredded into dust.

The aftershocks shredded hundreds of merfolk.

The reason he possesses such great power is not only because Jiang Liu's life cultivation is strong and his strength is exquisite, but also because he has received great benefits before. He has learned the Minghe Tu, the Body Supplementing Scenery, the Luoshu, and the Heart Scenery. He has also sensed the Guixu Qi Formation and obtained a Kunpeng Talisman Seal, which allows him to use the power of the Qi Formation to unleash magical power.

But after this attack, Jiang Liu frowned, because even after the Jiao Mu's body shattered, her immense spiritual power remained undiminished.

The spirit of the Mermaid has been completely entrusted to the Qi of the Returning Void, and no longer relies on the physical body. Even if all the remaining Mermaids are killed, it will be of no use.
