<h4>Chapter 631A – Walking Corpses and the Divine Pce</h4>


    Following that, in the next two days the ship encountered three other living corpses as they traveled forward. Luckily none of them tried to cause trouble.


    At this time, fluctuations appeared in Qin Yu’s mind. He opened his eyes. Deep within the fog, he could vaguely see some sort of construction appearing.


    This was an iparably grand pce. It was hundreds of thousands of feet tall like the dwelling of a god. Every inch of it exuded dignity.


    The ship carefully traveled to the edge of the pce. Like small flying bugs, the cultivators onboard seemed extremely small.


    Shu He stood on the bow. He subconsciously lowered his voice as he said, “Everyone, we have arrived. This is our destination!


    “I’m sure you are all curious about the origins of this towering divine pce-like construction. But I must apologize, I have no idea. In fact, there is no one within the entire Sealed Stone World that knows. But there is something that I can tell you with confidence. The master of this pce is absolutely an existence that surpasses your and my imaginations. Even if this master has already died, the divine pce they left behind still possesses an infinitely incredible force.


    “Your following mission is to ce the treasure chests entrusted to you within the pce. Then, with the support of the pce’s strength, to transform the stone beads within the chests.”


    With a flick of his sleeves, the deck opened up and treasure chests flew out, appearing next to each seat.


    “These treasure chests have been specially refined so that they cannot be ced into storage treasures. Each person will carry one treasure chest and you will all leave in groups of two, bringing the treasure chests to the assigned location. I ask everyone to remember that you must restrain your auras. This is because hidden in the pce, there are many, many walking corpses.


    “Now, I ask everyone to ce a drop of blood onto your respective treasure chests. This is a simple contract that will allow everyone to move the chests without suffering a bacsh. There will be no restrictions ced on you. You may all inspect the contract before doing it if you wish.”


    Qin Yu probed the chest. As Shu He said, there was no problem. Still, when he nced at the young maid, he still felt that things couldn’t be this simple.


    After thinking for some time, he asked within his soul space, “Meimei, purple moon, is there any problem with this chest?”


    Several breaths of timeter, Meimei cautiously said, “There seems to be something wrong but I can’t sense too clearly. Big sister is a true expert in this aspect.”


    A cold voice sounded out, “There is a problem.”


    A momentter, Qin Yu and the others ced a drop of blood onto the treasure chest. When it was absorbed, there was a sh of blood red light. A weak connection appeared in everyone’s minds.


    And at this moment, the ship arrived at a distant corner of the pce. It seemed that a great battle had urred here before. The towering pce had suffered a horrifying barrage of attacks in the past and the surface area here was marred with cracks.


    Although this ce had cracks, it was enough for the cultivators to step out. This was also the ce where the treasure chests were ced.


    Shu He said in a low voice, “The first group of two fellow daoists, please enter through this crack. Around three miles in there will be a white tform. You may ce the chests there.”


    Two cultivators lifted their chests and stood up. A blood red light covered their bodies. With a flicker, they flew out, sinking right into the crack. Before several breaths of time passed the two people had already returned. When they boarded the ship again, their faces were filled with excitement.


    Missionplete!


    Everyone let out a long breath as they saw this. Their tense expressions eased up. It seemed that this task wasn’t too difficult.


    Next, a second group of cultivators entered. They soon emerged without any problems.


    Then a third group, fourth group, fifth group…


    Shu He’s smile widened. Today’s luck was unexpectedly good. Over half the chests had beenid down and not a single ident had urred.


    Momentster, only two more treasure chests were left. Qin Yu pointed a finger at Qin Yu. “Fellow daoists, it’s time for you two to go down!”


    Across from him, therge fellow loosened his embrace on the young maid and quietly stood up.


    At this time, in a silent hall, there was a sudden roar of anger. A walking corpse drilled out from the crack. It held a torn piece of cloth in its hand. It ced the cloth on its nose as it took in a deep sniff.


    Soon after that was a second walking corpse and a third walking corpse. Immediately after, the crack was covered in walking corpses. Their gray eyes red stubbornly at the ship, their gazes causing everyone’s scalps to tingle and fear to gush out in their hearts.


    “What happened!?” Shu He shouted, his face pale.


    One of the cultivators that recently returned lifted a hand. Everyone could see that the cuff of his sleeve had been torn.


    “I…I didn’t think this would happen…I…I was too worried at the time so I didn’t think of taking it back…”


    Shu He bitterly looked at him. “I already told you that you have to be extra careful!” He took a deep breath. Then, he half-knelt down and ced both hands on the deck. The ship began to hum as runes started to shine. The scales on the ship’s surface started to emit light.


    The entire ship came to life. The two masses of blood red light at the front became even brighter.


    Rah!


    A deep roar spread out from the ship. It seemed to cross the endless flow of time, carrying with it an ancient and formidable aura.


    The approaching corpses suddenly paused. Their bodies stiffened and they roared back in response, nervously shuffling back and forth.


    Shu He spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood fused directly into the deck. Then, a second roar came from within the ship, this was even louder…and releasing an even stronger suppression of will!


    The walking corpses that flooded the cracks began to rapidly run away. The deathly silent scene from before returned.


    Shu He’s face was pale white. Spitting out the blood just now seemed to have cost him a great deal of strength. He said with a weak voice, “Wait a moment and then you can go in.”


    He sat down as he spoke.


    Therge fellow crossed his arms together, an indifferent look on his face.


    Qin Yu kept his head lowered. But, his eyes were actually flooded with joy.


    It was true!


    After two continual times, he could determine that what frightened those walking corpses away was the suppression of will that came from the ship.


    Since this was the case, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.


    After some time he would find a chance to withdraw. He had no interest in apanying these people from the Three United Trade Association to y ‘family’.


    That’s right, with his cultivation and strength, it really was boring and meaningless to y out this act.


    Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger was fun, but that was only if he could eat a tiger at the end. Who wanted to pretend to be a pig to eat a pig?


    After a moment, everything returned to tranquility.


    Shu He opened his eyes. “Alright, you two may enter. You must remember to be careful and not to provoke any more troubles.”


    Therge fellow grinned, “Don’t worry, I’m a veteran here.” He nced at Qin Yu and revealed a toothy smile.


    Shua –


    Shua –


    The two people flew down from the ship. After several flickering movements, they drilled into the crack.


    The towering pce was amazingly tall and its walls were equally astonishingly thick. Even after flying a mile, they only then passed through the crack to enter the pce.


    The inside was also filled with fog. After flying forward a bit more, they found the white stone tform.


    Therge fellow was the first to ce down his treasure chest. He moved to the side.


    Qin Yu followed close behind. After flying before the stone tform, he ced down his treasure chest.


    At this time, a swift and fierce aura erupted from behind Qin Yu. He spun around and lifted a hand, intercepting therge fellow’s fist with a loud thud.


    “In this ce, do you think you can escape if you harm me?”


    Therge fellow grinned, “I can!”


    His figure was like smoke, twisting and vanishing from sight. Echoingughter came from the fog all around.


    “Boy, enjoy our life’s final moments.”


    Roar –


    The roars of walking corpses sounded out. It was clear that they had detected the auras of living beings from the outside.


    In the thick fog, therge fellow was like a phantom as he rapidly raced through the crack.


    He cultivated some kind of live-saving art that could give him a virtual body for some time and conceal his aura.


    It was exactly by relying on this that he managed to leave the Sea of Bewildering Fog alive twice.


    And this would be his third time.


    Suddenly, a calm voice sounded out in his ears.


    “Where do you think you’re going?”


    Therge fellow’s eyes widened and he lifted a hand and punched out. But, the surrounding space had be like sticky glue, making every movement iparably difficult.


    The fog separated outwards and Qin Yu stepped out. His eyes were faint and there was a cold chill circting his pupils.


    “There is still time to escape! If you kill me then you won’t be able to leave either!”


    Qin Yu lightly said, “I don’t need to run.”


    He lifted a finger and brought it down. With a light popping sound, a bloody hole formed between therge fellow’s eyebrows. The light in his eyes faded away, rapidly extinguishing. His soul had already been crushed and absorbed by the Cosmic Seacross Bell.


    The surrounding fog wildly tumbled. Like an angered sea, the roars it emitted caused one’s heart to tremble.
