#508 - Chapter 508 Forbidden Sea
The Forbidden Sea was still and waveless.
The morning sun poured down, reflecting on the sea surface like a giant mirror.
Ye Kong stood on the sea, fishing rod in hand, his eyes gazing into the depths of the water.
“Achoo, achoo!”
Deep within the sea, a mermaid sneezed several times in a row.
“Who is calling me? Is a person not even allowed to rest on such a beautiful day?”
The mermaid opened her eyes in annoyance, her eyelashes fluttering like tiny fans.
As she spoke, a string of light bubbles rose to the surface with a "glug, glug" sound.
Soon after, a melodious song echoed across the Forbidden Sea.
“Phew, it seems she’s not dead yet.” Hearing the song, Ye Kong breathed a sigh of relief.
He said softly, “Come out, Alal.”
This mermaid was another creature he had fished out of the Sea of Bitterness, or rather, was a reward from the system.
However, he found the tiny fish in his palm rather undesirable at the time.
So he casually tossed her into this Forbidden Sea, and several months had passed in a flash.
Who knew that upon seeing her again, the little fish had gained sentience and awakened the ancient bloodline, transforming into a mermaid.
Seeing that she was a mermaid, Ye Kong had the idea of taking her back to raise, and named her Alal.
However, the little mermaid said that she liked the Forbidden Sea and didn’t want to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Kong didn’t force her, leaving behind a few cultivation manuals before departing.
“Lord, you’ve come?”
Hearing Ye Kong’s voice, Alal’s face lit up with joy.
Taking advantage of Ye Kong’s inattention, she circled behind him, and just as he turned around, she revealed a captivating face, smiling innocently.
“I’ve come. How have you been recently, Alal?”
Meeting Alal’s innocent and pure face, Ye Kong felt all the anxiety in his heart melt away.
“Lord, my injuries are all healed. With Green Brother’s help, my strength has increased a lot.”
After speaking, Alal gave Ye Kong an extremely childish smile.
Suddenly, Alal’s expression became inexplicably downcast.
“But~~”
Alal hesitated, speaking only halfway before angrily diving back into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, she burst out again with a “splash,” splashing Ye Kong’s face with water.
“Lord,” Alal said, pushing her blue seaweed-like hair behind her ears, panting, “Lord, I still can’t deal with that Law.”
As she spoke, Alal slowly lowered her head, shrinking into a tiny ball, her eyes as pure and bright as a lamb’s.
“It’s alright, I came this time for this very matter.”
“Alal, you don’t have to blame yourself, you’ve done very well.”
“You must persevere, I believe you are the best!”
Ye Kong could never be strict with the sensible and well-behaved Alal.
Alal nodded solemnly, flicked her beautiful fishtail, and immediately disappeared into the azure sea.
“Come out.”
Seeing Alal leave, Ye Kong tossed his fishing rod and said slowly.
A green figure hidden in the shadows was startled and hurriedly scrambled up.
“Lord, you called for me?”
A green-haired turtle appeared on the surface of the sea, respectfully.
“Including all the members of your clan, can you defend the Forbidden Sea?”
Ye Kong didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“This, I’m afraid not.”
This turtle that came was from the founding ancestor lineage of the Spirit Turtle clan. Their Spirit Turtle clan had guarded this Forbidden Sea for generations.
For generations, there had been no major changes in this Forbidden Sea.
Over time, people thought that the Spirit Turtle clan was just a legend.
However, due to the appearance of the Law, changes had occurred in this Forbidden Sea.
Even the forbidden methods passed down by the Spirit Turtle clan for generations were ineffective.
Hearing what the old turtle said, Ye Kong’s expression became even more solemn.
He had thought about the seriousness of the situation, but he didn’t expect it to be so serious.
“How about this, I’ll set up a formation on the Forbidden Sea and isolate this place.”
Ye Kong thought for a while and made up his mind.
“This, Lord, this is absolutely impossible, please think twice.”
The old turtle’s face turned pale when he heard Ye Kong’s suggestion, and he shook his head like a rattle drum.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use this method, but the price paid was too great, and the consequences were unimaginable.
This was the Forbidden Sea, and apart from the sea demon clan, few other races could cast spells here.
Not to mention setting up a formation, even using spiritual power was inconceivable.
“Alright, I’ve made up my mind, you just help me guard it well.”
Ye Kong said coldly, his sharply defined profile facing the light, his eyes deep, and he sat directly on the Forbidden Sea, his three thousand raven-black hairs flying.
Bathed in the light, he was as noble as an ancient deity, worthy of admiration.
The old turtle looked up at him, tears suddenly welling up in his eyes.
His eyes were blurred with tears, and through the layers of light and shadow, he seemed to see an incomparably bright future.
Ye Kong closed his eyes tightly, chanting continuously.
As he chanted, his body was gradually enveloped in countless rays of light, and his whole person seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.
As he chanted faster and faster, the fishing rod that was originally beside him rose from the ground.
After being plated with a layer of golden light by the chanting, the fishing rod rose higher and higher.
As the fishing rod rose, Ye Kong also had a handful of sweat.
The sweat on his forehead never stopped, dripping down, and every time it splashed into the sea, a loud noise could be heard.
Startling countless birds within a hundred miles around the Forbidden Sea.
At this time, Ye Kong only felt that the spiritual power in his body was being used to the limit, and his body was extremely tired.
The sound of chanting the formation almost couldn’t come out several times, and his body was densely covered as if he had been pricked by needles one by one.
“Ah~~”
The Forbidden Sea was completely enraged by Ye Kong’s chanting, and a great force surged from the heart of the sea towards the surface.
Ye Kong tried his best to suppress the discomfort in his body, his face pale to the extreme.
“Lord, stop if it’s really not possible.”
“Before the Sea God is completely enraged, I can still remedy it.”
The old turtle obviously noticed the power of the Forbidden Sea, and he felt the discomfort rising from the depths of his body, and persuaded him.
“You shut up!”
Ye Kong almost roared these words.
He, Ye Kong, never gave up, he wouldn’t now, and he wouldn’t in the future.
But the blood in the depths of his body seemed to be burning out, it hurt.
“Ah!”
Ye Kong finally couldn’t help but roar to the sky.
At the same time, he laboriously chanted the last sentence of the incantation and mobilized all his spiritual power.
Ye Kong’s eyes were almost split, he looked at the rapidly rotating fishing rod, and suddenly smiled.
“It’s done, I’ve succeeded.”
Ye Kong looked at the Forbidden Sea, which was suddenly surrounded by fog, and smiled faintly.
But finally couldn’t support it and fainted.
