#415 - Chapter 415: Crisis is coming
Serenity Peak.
Lin Yaoyao and the others went to cultivate as usual, but when Lin Yaoyao looked out at the Sea of Bitterness, she noticed that Earth Spirit was gone.
She walked to the edge of the Sea of Bitterness and asked her master, "Master, I haven't seen Earth Spirit for the past few days. Where did she go?"
Ye Kong waved his fishing rod and said softly, "Ye Ling has gone out to busy herself."
"Ye Ling?" Lin Yaoyao frowned, "Isn't she called Earth Spirit?"
"She took my surname," Ye Kong said casually.
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao said with a sullen face, "So… I should call her Shimu (师母 – Master's wife), right?"
"Huh? No need to call her that," Ye Kong said suspiciously.
"If you don't call her that, why does she have your surname? She didn't marry you, why would she take your surname?" Lin Yaoyao said angrily.
Since ancient times, wives have taken their husband's surname, such as Ye Ling Shi, Ye Yao Shi, and so on.
Ye Kong immediately reacted and said, "No, she was originally called Earth Spirit, but later she realized that she wasn't called Earth Spirit, so she didn't have a surname, so I let her take my surname."
"Anyway, my disciples all have my surname, so it's okay to have another Ye Ling, right?" Ye Kong explained in detail.
Lin Yaoyao looked at her master unhappily and said, "Master, it's okay for junior brothers and sisters to take your surname because they didn't have names. You accepted them as disciples, and a master is like a father, so it's natural to give them names and let them take your surname."
"But Ye Ling… oh no, Earth Spirit, she is a normal woman and cannot change her surname at will."
Ye Kong looked at Lin Yaoyao and nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Yaoyao sat down next to Ye Kong and watched her master fish.
"Master, you fish every day, how long will you fish for?" Lin Yaoyao asked.
"Hmm… I don't know either," Ye Kong shook his head.
Fishing every day, Qi Refining +1…
What could he do?
Cultivation was useless to him, only fishing could steadily increase his cultivation.
Qi Refining was growing day by day, but Foundation Establishment was still far away.
"Sigh."
Keep working hard and establish the foundation as soon as possible.
After Lin Yaoyao comforted her master for a while, she turned around and went back to Peach Mountain to cultivate.
Ye Kong waved his fishing rod and continued fishing.
He sat there for a whole day.
It wasn't until evening, when the system's voice sounded, that Ye Kong put down his fishing rod and stretched his back.
Just as he was about to go back, he saw a cloud of mist spreading over the Sea of Bitterness.
"Heh, it's getting foggy," Ye Kong chuckled and returned to Serenity Pavilion to sleep.
That night,
A thick fog spread from an unknown place to the Immortal Cultivation World.
The entire Immortal Cultivation World was covered by a thick layer of mist, making it impossible to see one's fingers.
The twelve Star Observation Pavilion Ancestors guarding the world instantly noticed the abnormality.
Yun came out of Heavenly Sword Peak and saw nothing but mist.
He hurriedly flew into the sky, but no matter how high he flew, there was a thick layer of mist.
"Everyone listen, return to your houses as soon as possible!" Yun shouted loudly.
But the mist blocked his voice.
"Damn it, why didn't the mist come with any warning?" Yun cursed secretly and flew back to Heavenly Sword Peak.
The Star Observation Pavilion Ancestors in each continent went around to find the source of the fog, but not only could they not find it, they were also attacked by unknown things.
They were just avatars, so it was difficult to resist. Helpless, they had to return to the Star Observation Pavilion and wait.
Ye Ling in Eastern Forbidden Continent looked at the rising fog, feeling a little dazed.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that she had lost contact with all things, completely unable to sense the existence of anything.
"What is this, what's going on?" Ye Ling looked confused.
Saint Continent, Star Observation Pavilion.
Xingkongdong's eyes sensed the mist coming and couldn't help but say, "The fog is rising, a crisis is coming."
"Unannounced fog is the most deadly!" Xing Chang sighed and closed his eyes.
That night, the mist enveloped the Immortal Cultivation World, and the unknown things in the mist harvested many lives as they passed by.
That night, the entire Immortal Cultivation World was silent, falling into absolute silence.
That night, even the ancient powerhouses were frightened.
The next day, clear and bright.
Chen Shi (辰时 – 7am-9am) in the morning.
The mist dissipated, and the entire Immortal Cultivation World seemed to have not recovered, still in absolute silence.
The Star Observers of each continent counted the people in their respective continents.
As a result, upon investigation, each continent had lost many people.
Tens of thousands in the least, millions in the most.
All the missing people were those who were outdoors.
After each continent recovered, the people wailed, the strong were afraid, and the Great Emperors were terrified.
The entire Immortal Cultivation World seemed to be plunged into despair.
Ye Ling was in Eastern Forbidden Continent. After recovering, she learned about what was happening in the Immortal Cultivation World.
She stood in the air, manipulating all things, and conveyed her message: "Everyone in the Immortal Cultivation World, once the mist appears, immediately go indoors!"
After speaking, Ye Ling left Eastern Forbidden Continent and headed to the next place to continue subjugating.
She had to speed up, only by completely controlling the Immortal Cultivation World could she sense where the mist was coming from, so she could prepare.
The mist came suddenly and disappeared without a trace.
No one knew if the mist would come every night.
Ye Ling was about to go to the next continent to conquer when she suddenly thought of Ye Kong.
"Wait, others may not know, but maybe Ye Kong knows."
Thinking of this, Ye Ling immediately turned around and flew back.
…
Serenity Peak, by the Sea of Bitterness.
Ye Kong had just picked up his fishing rod when Ye Ling returned.
"Ye Kong, last night's mist…"
"Yeah, I know," Ye Kong nodded.
"Do you know where it came from?" Ye Ling asked excitedly.
Ye Kong shook his head and said, "I can only predict that the fog is coming, but I don't know where it came from."
Ye Ling was stunned and looked at Ye Kong.
"So, you don't know where the mist came from either?"
Ye Kong pondered and said, "The mist comes from other places and cannot be stopped."
"Can I stop it if I refine the Immortal Cultivation World?"
Ye Kong pondered for a moment, looked at Ye Ling, and said uncertainly, "Maybe, after all, you control the Immortal Cultivation World."
"As long as the Immortal Cultivation World is closed off, the mist can be prevented from drifting in."
Hearing this, Ye Ling turned around and was about to go and conquer the continents.
After taking only two steps, she suddenly remembered that there was still a question she hadn't asked.
"Ye Kong, do you know about the strange things in the mist?" Ye Ling asked.
She was also attacked last night, but the things in the mist couldn't hurt her.
"Last night, I was asleep," Ye Kong spread his hands.
After fishing, she went back to Serenity Pavilion to sleep.
He didn't know much about the mist, he only sensed that the mist came from other places.
Ye Ling: …
