Chaotic World Book

Watching the pitted statue disappear again into the seabed, the three looked at each other with a sense of dreamlike wonder, as well as a hint of regret hidden in their hearts.

It was truly a paradise, perfect for cultivation, living, and treasure-hunting... It was a pity they had stayed for only one day, rushing around like it was a market day, without even getting their fill of conflicts.

That Sea Emperor, delaying our fights.

That Sea Emperor, preventing me from being flanked by beauties, my plans of embracing them hadn't even been put into action yet... Believe it or not, staying one more day would have doubled the success rate…

All three simultaneously had the thought of coming back here to hide away after everything was done, then immediately became serious, covering up their thoughts, "So the Flood Dragon's explosion doesn't erase it completely, huh? There's even dragon skin left."

Their topic was merely a random one, but Zhao Changhe suddenly got an idea, "I've got my bowstring!"

The two women also realized, what in the world could top dragon sinew as bowstring material? It's so tough that ordinary people couldn't even pull it back, wouldn't it be like delivering a pillow to a sleepy Zhao Changhe?

Although it was only a Flood Dragon and not a true dragon, having fused with the Sea Emperor for so long, its body had clearly been greatly enhanced. Even Xia Longyuan's punch into its throat didn't burst it, it wouldn't explode completely, and it certainly wouldn't be inferior to a true dragon. Such a massive dragon body, finding just a small section of broken sinew would be enough to make numerous bowstrings.

And dragon skin, dragon bones, dragon meat, and dragon blood were all treasures... Amongst them, Xia Chichi hadn't eaten anything to enhance her cultivation on the island, this dragon meat was just delivered to her door, a perfect fit.

It was indeed an unexpected delight, the real spoils of war were waiting right here…

San Niang's eyes lit up brightly, "Mine! All mine!"

Then, with the speed of thunder, she stuffed the dragon skin into her ring and dived into the sea, heading straight for a piece of dragon meat nearby.

All those treasures on the island didn't get you this greedy... Oh right, she didn't recognize those treasures, clueless. But she recognized this.

At this moment, San Niang probably forgot about the Sea Emperor, deeply relieved that she came out early. Good things weren't picked up by others or swallowed by any passing sharks.

Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi laughed and cried at the same time, also spreading out to search underwater. The body of the Flood Dragon, containing immense special energy, was as conspicuous as fireflies in the night to everyone. Soon, they collected a large pile, including several lengths of dragon tendons, both long and short.

Zhao Changhe didn't search much either, he took a shorter piece, tailored and fitted it right away as his new bowstring, and after some minor adjusting, he was all smiles.

This power, though it lacked a bow spirit, was probably of a higher quality than the Dragon Sparrow... As for the bow spirit, as Yue Hongling had put it well, a Martial Artist's pursuit should let the weapon birth its own spirit, let it start with this bow.

What about having fun with girls when I have such a good weapon?

And this combination of Dragon Soul Wood and dragon tendon, aside from its own power and soul destruction special effects, probably had an extra feature; it should deal extra damage to dragons. It's just unknown how many dragons there are in the world... Eh, does Guigui count?

At this moment, San Niang and Chichi still gathered around somewhat reluctantly, San Niang's face was lit with excitement, saying, "My whip can be reforged now. And this…"

Saying that, she handed a piece of dragon tooth and dragon bone to Zhao Changhe: "Keep these, for forging backups, even try adding some for forging the Night Emperor Sword Blade—don't just focus on the Night Sand, while our forging techniques are with us, appropriate materials can certainly be added."

Zhao Changhe took the dragon teeth, his first thought was that this stuff could make a dagger for Sisi... Of course, he dared not speak out this thought, hurriedly changing the topic: "What about those dragon skins?"

"Dragon skin can only make armor, not normal clothes. We'll take them back to make for the elite in our Sect to wear in battle." San Niang glared, "Why, you want those too? Isn't it shameful to walk around Worldly Society wearing armor?"

Zhao Changhe tilted his head. Regardless, whether it's for the Sect's elite or not, isn't that all my elite...

Xia Chichi quietly handed him a few bottles, whispering, "I've collected some dragon meat and dragon blood, they're miraculous for your Body Refining and enhancing Qi and blood, suits you... But dragon blood is quite potent, you know. You can use them in front of me, I don't mind."

Zhao Changhe, with a stern look of judgment on his face, quietly put away the dragon blood.

Both were secretly handing stuff to their man, Xia Chichi clearly won.

San Niang's chest ached with anger. How did my Four Symbols Sect raise such a little vixen... And I still have to support this little vixen to become the Sect Hierarch!

"Ahem." Zhao Changhe coughed, speaking righteously: "Now that everything is ready, we should go find Hai Changkong, ask where the Sea Emperor Temple is, and settle this matter once and for all."

Before he finished speaking, they saw a ship's mast and sail in the distance.

Turning their heads, it was Tang En's ship coming to meet them.

San Niang's first thought was that it was just the right time to come out. If it had been a bit later, Tang Wanzhuang would have picked up all these treasures for free…

...

"Previously, Your Majesty commanded us to stay outside and not get close, but while we were retreating, we ended up getting lost," Tang En, wiping sweat off his brow, explained the situation on deck. "The distorted vision here made it impossible to navigate, even with a guide…"

"Yes, as long as you're safe, what happened next? The Chaotic World Book mentioned you ended up joining the battle near the Sea Commander? Was it close?"

"Not close at all. It took us more than a day and night to return, several hundreds to nearly a thousand nautical miles, but we got caught in a chaotic current that twisted and brought us there." Tang En remarked fearfully, "Somehow, we ended up behind Commander Xia's fleet, and a cannon shot almost broke our mast. Fortunately, everyone recognized each other from our previous meeting at Dong'an Island, so the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up, and we helped the commander fight a battle. We were so confused; we didn't even know who we were fighting until the Chaotic World Book broadcasted that it was the Sea Emperor Temple. Your Majesty, this battle won't cause us any trouble, right? That's an Ancient Demon!"

"No, it was well fought; didn't you see that even His Majesty joined the battle? The Tang family's involvement was just right; Wanzhuang will only praise them highly."

Tang En sighed deeply.

Zhao Changhe pondered in silence; the chaotic current causing teleportation wasn't normal, it felt like the work of a blind wizard.

The Sea Commander battling the Sea Emperor Temple would have had uncertain outcomes; after all, isn't the Sea Emperor—bolstered by years of accumulated elite Sea Race—not so easily defeated by a mere Penglai fleet? Hai Pinglan was prepared for the worst, thinking the Sea Commander might become a fugitive if defeated. It was the Tang family's warship joining that tipped the scales of victory.

This shadowy involvement in a battle exactly mirrors the blind wizard's methods—I was similarly drawn into the Otherworld by her. Moving a fleet hundreds of nautical miles? Child's play.

Clearly, the blind wizard was after the Heavenly Book in possession of the Sea Emperor.

Other treasures aside, the blind wizard surely wouldn't partake in worldly conflicts. You hid the Heavenly Book, and now you've drawn her attention... Poor Sea Emperor still doesn't realize who the real formidable enemy aiming for him is. If the extended hand of the world wants to hit you, losing is truly incomprehensible.

I am but a tool for her to fulfill her needs, a… vibrator.

"Where is the Sea Commander now?"

"The Admiral has returned to Penglai, saying he was going to clear up the remnants and restore order; of course, I wouldn't go with him. I need to find you first."

"So, the temple is flattened?"

"The temple is shattered; I saw nothing left there..."

Zhao Changhe shook his head, "There has to be a secret realm there; the Sea Emperor has gone through an entire epoch of revival. Could it be that it was merely regaining power on the outskirts? Take me there quickly; if we are any later, Penglai might be retaliated against to the extent of leaving no survivors."

The Divine Temple at the Chaotic Reef Islands.

Miles of chaotic rocks, elite Sea Race warriors entrenched within this bouldery jumble. The place had no fitting ground for a temple, but there was not only a temple but even a grand Divine Hall stood amidst the chaotic reef, how it was erected there is a mystery.

The Sea Emperor needed the Power of Faith and hence, required a temple for worship, also because of this, it gave Hai Pinglan a clear target, utterly destroyed here.

In this battle, the Sea Commander unleashed a barrage of thousands of cannons, and the Sea Emperor himself was caught in a grueling fight, without the protection of Alien Power, the Divine Hall was blasted into ruins, debris and broken fragments scattered chaotically on the sea surface or hung amongst piles of rocks.

Together with the clutter, countless Sea Race corpses lay scattered, uncollected bodies spread miles.

From the surface, it looked utterly devastated, no survivors. Naturally, the Sea Commander wouldn't still be wandering here, anxiously leading his team back to Penglai to stabilize the rear.

Yet unseen by all, the chaotic bodies of the Sea Race seemed to be gradually blurring and disappearing, as if some miraculous power was slowly absorbing them, unseen.

In the Secret Realm Abyss, a figure floated in the void, gradually taking form from the ghostly figure, limbs, facial features… and fishtails visible.

The so-called Sea Emperor, whose true soul was actually human...

"Hai Pinglan… your forceful life-consuming breakthrough into the Imperial Realm, is ignorantly false… you will never understand, what it means to be indestructible as a God Demon." The Sea Emperor's whisper echoed in the Abyss, countless energy bodies entered his body, becoming more solid.

"You'll soon know what regret means, whether it's your Penglai… or your daughter." The Sea Emperor opened his eyes.

"Boom!" With the opening of his eyes, the surrounding seas surged wildly, likewise shocking the vicinity of rocks outside the Secret Realm with a tsunami.

His revival, much swifter than Hai Pinglan anticipated—much swifter!
