Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 115 Obtaining Kunmu

"Fellow Daoist is truly without any scruples; the karma involved here might not be small!" Little Pagoda transmitted, carrying an indescribable sense of emotion.

"I don't care about this, that, or the other. As long as my own strength is sufficient, what karma or not? I'll wipe them all out if they come!" Fang Ming sneered, appearing completely unconcerned.

"It's better to be a bit careful. This sea area isn't that simple," Little Pagoda gently swayed, as if shaking its head, and warned, "There's a unique type of ghost ship in this sea area with an immense origin, known as a taboo. Historically, everyone who has had any interaction with it has not ended well."

"In the ancient era, it was not uncommon for cult masters to fall because of this. Fellow Daoist still shouldn't be careless!" Little Pagoda was very serious.

Hearing this, Shi Hao hesitated and whispered, "Senior, maybe we should just forget it? It would be bad if we missed the Kun Peng Precious Technique."

"It's still early!" Fang Ming said calmly, "Don't worry, the Kun Peng Precious Technique isn't that easy to obtain."

Just then, two panicked voices came, and an ancient large ship drifted over silently.

Shi Hao turned his head and saw the scene on the ship. On the ship, two young girls were bound by black light, their vitality and spirit constantly draining away, being absorbed by this ghost ship.

"Alright, now you have no choice but to go. Your big fatty has been bound by this ghost ship," Fang Ming teased.

On this ghost ship, one of them was Yun Xi of the Human Clan, and the other silver-haired girl he didn't know.

"What big fatty of mine!" Shi Hao grumbled and quickly steered his small boat towards the ghost ship.

He recognized one of the young girls on the ghost ship; she was from the Human Clan and they had interacted in the Heavenly Break Mountain Range.

If he hadn't encountered them, then so be it, but now that he saw them, he couldn't pretend not to.

It was just right to board the ship and search for treasure.

It was a massive wooden ship on the verge of decay. There was a demonic quality on the ship, and constant roaring sounds came from who knows where. Just by getting close, Shi Hao's vitality and spirit were about to leave his body.

"Use your black broken sword. That sword can deal with this ship!" Fang Ming spoke in time.

Although this ghost ship was somewhat strange, it wasn't too difficult for him to handle; he just didn't need to make a move all the time.

Taking out Ghost Elder's broken sword, Shi Hao leaped and jumped onto the deck of the ghost ship.

On the deck, Yun Xi and Yin Xue, who were already in despair, saw Shi Hao appear, and a bright light flickered in their eyes. The despair on their pale faces slightly receded.

Shi Hao held the broken sword and said irritably, "You two big fatties, you're really unlucky. Every time I meet you, nothing good happens!"

"You..." Yun Xi was angry, but she couldn't refute.

Because their luck was indeed bad. If they had good luck, they wouldn't have been driven to a dead end and boarded this ghost ship.

Black light wrapped around him, absorbing his vitality and spirit, but Shi Hao didn't panic. Instead, he looked at the two girls and laughed, "Your Ancient God Mountain isn't that great either. You can't even deal with a broken ship."

"What broken ship?" Yun Xi retorted angrily, "Who knows how many important figures have died on this ghost ship. You talk as if you can deal with it."

She had originally thought this Bear Child had some way to deal with the ghost ship, but as soon as he came up, he was tangled by the ghost ship's black light and bound to the ship, just like them.

The silver-haired girl laboriously tugged at Yun Xi's sleeve and said weakly, "He also came to save us, don't be like this."

"You, this fatty, are not bad," Shi Hao nodded, very satisfied with her performance.

"Me? Fatty?" The silver-haired girl was stunned. She looked down at herself and completely didn't understand what he meant.

"The other fatty, watch carefully!" Shi Hao shouted in a low voice, fully activating the broken sword in his hand.

Instantly, the black bloodstains on the broken sword turned bright red, absorbing the black light from the ghost ship and devouring it.

A black vortex appeared here. The black clouds in the sky and the black light on the ghost ship were all attracted at this moment, devoured by the broken sword at the center of the vortex.

In the sky, black clouds gathered, and demonic power was being absorbed. Black demonic light flowed into the vortex like water.

Everyone present, even Shi Hao, was dumbfounded.

The power of this broken sword far exceeded his imagination!

"This Bear Child actually has a way to deal with the ghost ship!" Yun Xi was dumbfounded. This detestable Bear Child really wasn't ordinary.

"So powerful!" The silver-haired girl exclaimed repeatedly, feeling very fortunate.

Black light rain rose from the ship's body and was devoured by the broken sword. The ghost ship, as large as a mountain, gradually shrunk. Under the shocked gazes of the three, it turned into a paper boat about ten feet long.

This was because Shi Hao forcibly interrupted the short sword, making it stop absorbing.

This was driven by curiosity; he wanted to study the ghost ship.

"How is it a paper boat?" Yun Xi and the silver-haired girl Yin Xue could hardly believe it.

This ghost ship, which struck fear into the hearts of many strong individuals, turned out to be a paper boat in its original form.

It was hard to imagine what kind of existence the person who folded this paper boat back then was!

"This ghost ship actually came from the hands of a woman?" Shi Hao looked at the delicate handwriting on the ship and was lost in thought.

After a long while, he sighed, "I really don't know what kind of cultivation it is, but a paper boat folded casually is so strange!"

"Past, present, future, are they coexisting at the same time?" In the inner world, Fang Ming also noticed the line of text on the small boat and showed a thoughtful expression.

This was the paper boat folded by Hen Ren after she performed the Sacrifice Dao, when she was confronting the Primeval Ancestors and was on the verge of death, it was just polluted.

The original paper boat was sacred, carrying some kind of hope or means of hers.

"Tower Brother, do you think there's a possibility that past, present, and future actually exist simultaneously?" At this moment, Fang Ming transmitted his voice.

After a long time, Little Pagoda transmitted back, "Who knows? The scenery seen at different levels is also different. Perhaps we can only see the present, but some incredibly powerful existences can not only see the past but also return to the past, and even step into the future."

Fang Ming carefully recalled the relevant content from the trilogy. After a long while, he also agreed with Little Pagoda's view.

Different levels of cultivation see different sceneries and can do different things.

"But what is certain is that here, the past, present, and future indeed exist simultaneously in some form that I cannot understand!" In the inner world, Fang Ming affirmed his guess.

Fang Ming transmitted his voice to Shi Hao, saying, "Use the broken sword to purify all the strangeness on this paper boat. Perhaps it will be useful in the future."

The broken sword glowed, continuously absorbing the strange power within the paper boat.

The paper boat, over ten feet long, constantly shrunk, turning into a palm-sized, snow-white paper boat.

On Shi Hao's small boat, Yun Xi and Yin Xue stood in the center of the boat, very curious.

This small boat seemed unremarkable, but it was actually very extraordinary, extremely fast, and very stable as it sped towards a huge ghost ship.

"Yun Xi, I heard you know this young man. Why does he say we're fat?" Yin Xue quietly asked.

Yun Xi's pretty face blushed upon hearing this. She cautiously transmitted her voice to her little friend, explaining.

Instantly, Yin Xue's pretty face turned red, and she glared at Shi Hao indignantly.

Shi Hao didn't care about the two behind him at all. He was now focused only on searching for treasure.

Not long after, the small boat stopped not far from a huge ghost ship. Shi Hao held the broken sword and, under the shocked gazes of the two girls, leaped up and boarded the ghost ship.

Not long after, Shi Hao came down from the ship with a disappointed face.

There was only bone ash on the ship, no treasures.

"When can I find a bargain!" Shi Hao mumbled, full of regret.

Hearing his words, the two girls exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.

One ship, two ships...

Shi Hao boarded thirteen ghost ships in a row, but got nothing. Apart from bone ash, it was still bone ash.

"Forget it, let's just go straight to the Kun Peng Dojo!" Finally, Fang Ming couldn't watch anymore.

He wanted to find a bargain, but the result was just a ground full of bone ash.

This was where the Kun Peng's dojo was located, and coupled with the many strange occurrences, his divine sense was greatly affected and he couldn't search like a carpet.

Several days later, Shi Hao arrived at the depths of this forbidden ocean. Looking into the distance, he saw the Kun Peng Nest.

A cliff stood in the depths of the sea area, immense and boundless. A huge bird's nest shrouded in chaotic energy was embedded in the cliff face.

Around the huge cliff, sounds of shouting and killing shook the heavens and earth. Many corpses floated on the sea surface stained red with blood.

"I came too early. It hasn't opened yet!" Shi Hao observed for a while and then understood what was happening.

Shi Hao turned around, looked at the two girls, and said calmly, "We've arrived. You can all go home!"

He had already seen the figures of the pure-blooded creatures from the Ancient God Mountain. Sending them here was already the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

"Thank you," Yin Xue thanked him solemnly. She had already made up her mind to offer generous gifts as a thank you in the future.

"Thank you this time," Similarly, Yun Xi also thanked him solemnly, then said with a slight blush, "Let's forget about those things that happened before."

"Hmph hmph~" Shi Hao waved his hand and said, "I don't care about that kind of thing at all."

Saying that, he stepped on the waves and went far away.

Looking at Shi Hao's back, Yun Xi gritted her teeth. It was clearly she who suffered the loss back then!

A month later, many creatures from this sea area boarded the cliff, stepped into the transmission array, and entered the real Kun Peng Dojo.

This was a peculiar place. As far as the eye could see, islands emitting colorful light were spread throughout the sea area.

The spiritual energy here was so dense it couldn't dissipate. The seawater was crystal clear, with misty rays of light emerging and innate essence rising.

The Kun Peng Nest was vast, as huge as an ancient Demon Mountain. Innumerable runes flickered, flowing with the aura of the Great Dao.

Beside it, a massive portal stood, radiating intense light. Liquefied spiritual energy formed a mighty long river, flowing and surging out from that tall, sky-reaching portal.

This ocean was partly seawater and partly liquefied spiritual energy. The two were mixed, forming a boundless ocean.

There weren't many cultivators beside the portal. Many cultivators were attracted to the Kun Peng Nest, and only a few were gathered around the front, constantly exploring.

Suddenly, Shi Hao's heart stirred, and he quickly rushed towards the portal. He saw a palm-sized black paper boat drifting out from the portal along the river of spiritual energy.

After only a few steps, Shi Hao felt his hair loosen, and then he found that the finger-sized seed had disappeared.

Looking closely, the finger-sized seed seemed to be connected to chaos, appearing in front of the portal.

Below the finger-sized seed, from the intense portal, a piece of wood six feet long and as thick as a thigh, covered with dragon patterns, floated out.

Although the wood was tattered, divine radiance still rose from it, carrying an immortal aura. More importantly, there was still a vibrant green leaf on the wood.

"Kun wood that still has a weak life force!" Little Pagoda's voice came, full of regret, "It's truly a pity!"

The people around only reacted then, seeing only a flash of light. The kun wood and the black paper boat disappeared simultaneously.

Although there were restrictions here, they could no longer completely restrict existences at Fang Ming's level.

No one discovered how the kun wood disappeared. They could only pound their chests and stamp their feet, roaring up at the sky.

After recovering, they all fled in terror towards the distance, not daring to stay there.

Someone of great seniority had clearly made a move just now and taken the kun wood.

Shi Hao only felt his hair sink, and then he saw the familiar seed return.

He knew that that section of kun wood had been taken by Xuantian Senior.

Not long after, a great battle broke out in the Kun Peng's dojo. Many creatures holding items left behind by the Kun Peng opened the path leading to the interior of the dojo.

In the inner world, Fang Ming no longer paid attention to the outside world. His attention was focused on the kun wood he had just obtained.

As for the black paper boat folded by Hen Ren, he put it aside for now; he would deal with it when he had time, since it was already in his hands.

Although this section of kun wood, as thick as a thigh, looked like rotten wood, upon careful sensing, one could still detect faint traces of life force that had not been extinguished. That single green leaf was the best proof.

Fang Ming gently tapped it, and a clear 'crack' sound spread. The rotten parts of the kun wood fell off, leaving only a three-inch-sized, withered yellow wooden piece covered with dragon-shaped patterns.

The only green leaf was growing on this withered yellow wooden piece.

Holding the wooden piece, Fang Ming carefully observed it, trying to discern some clues.

His divine sense swept over it, trying to explore its mysteries.

"These dragon-shaped patterns are indeed innate dao patterns, not just simple appearances," Fang Ming's divine sense penetrated into it and discovered many broken chains of order and law.

These dragon-shaped innate dao patterns appeared complete, but internally they had completely collapsed, making it difficult to comprehend any profound mysteries from them.

"Hmm~" Exploring carefully, Fang Ming let out an exclamation, revealing a hint of joy, "There's hope! I've already seen complete innate dao patterns without delving into the true core. Perhaps it really is possible to revive it!"

At this point, Fang Ming stopped penetrating with his divine sense. If it were completely dead, that would be fine, he wouldn't have any scruples. But confirming that life force truly existed, he instead had concerns.

With a thought, a three-foot-sized emerald green sphere floated over. It was the sphere formed by the convergence of the palm heaven bottle's green liquid.

The sphere formed by the palm heaven bottle's green liquid hovered above. Under Fang Ming's control, a drop of green liquid the size of a bean accurately dripped onto the three-inch withered yellow kun wood piece.

As soon as the green liquid touched the withered yellow wooden piece, it instantly disappeared.

Afterward, Fang Ming waited patiently, while also carefully sensing the changes in the wooden piece in his hand.

About a day later, Fang Ming shook his head with slight disappointment.

He could sense that the life force contained within this section of wooden piece had not become stronger.

His divine sense penetrated into it and found that there was indeed no change. Those broken chains of order and law were still the same, with no sign of recovery.
