"We as the East Sea Guardian Saints naturally focus on defending against the Great Evil of the East Sea..."
The three Great Saints fell silent for a moment, and eventually, it was the San Shan Great Saint who took the lead to explain: "According to our previous arrangements, we generally divide the outer sea into three directions: the Endless Sea, the Hidden Dragon Court, and the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain... Each of us three Great Saints is responsible for guarding a part; in the Endless Sea, there is the Great Evil [Nine-headed Infant Snake], in the Hidden Dragon Court, there is [Da Gun], and as for the final Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain, it is composed of countless scattered small islands located in the deep sea. We estimate that there used to be a continent over there, which was later shattered to create a string of archipelagos..."
"The direction of the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain is the largest in area and the most complex in situation. Some islands even have indigenous tribes living on them. Their civilization is primitive, still in a tribal period, and they maintain extremely bloody and savage sacrificial customs while worshiping the Great Evil Demon..."
Li Xuan Saint continued: "Previously, I was responsible for the Endless Sea, San Shan fellow Daoist was responsible for the Hidden Dragon Court, and Huang Long fellow Daoist was responsible for the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain, which was somewhat overwhelming..."
Huang Long Great Saint forced a smile: "This time, the [Son of Da Gun] circled around to the direction of the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain and broke through to the inner sea, which was due to my inadequate guarding. I am willing to privately compensate your sect's cultivators with a Biluo Fox Jade..."
"Sure!"
Li Xuan Saint said nothing more.
Huang Long Great Saint then turned to Zhong Shenxiu: "I alone patrol the sea for ten thousand miles, indeed beyond my ability. Fellow Daoist, why not come to assist me first?"
"Which Great Evil Demon is hidden within the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain?"
Zhong Shenxiu pondered for a moment and asked.
"I don't know... but I have felt that ferocious presence, indeed an existence on the same level as us, perhaps... more than one!"
Huang Long Great Saint showed a solemn expression: "According to legend, at the deepest part of the sea, there is inevitably a Heavenly Demon Battlefield, but we cannot enter the deep sea to exterminate the demons... Hence, the sea demons are nearly endless, impossible to completely kill..."
"And the Great Evil Demons in the deep sea may also be the most numerous!"
"The Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain directly penetrates the deep sea; my pressure is immense..."
...
Upon hearing this, Zhong Shenxiu could only sigh.
He knew that the future of this world was indeed bleak.
Even with the support of two Dao Ancestors, it could only be considered barely enough.
After all, [Heavenly Elder] and other Outer Gods may not necessarily be inferior to the Lord of the Gate, Time's Ouroboros!
The last time his true body clashed with them, even though it was just an instant, he experienced a little disadvantage.
"Since it is so, then I will join fellow Daoist Huang Long and together be responsible for the situation in the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain!"
Zhong Shenxiu said.
"Excellent!"
Li Xuan Saint laughed heartily and called forth a disciple of Fang Xian Dao, none other than Jiang Yuansheng: "Fellow Daoist, everything here is at your disposal and equal to us three. This disciple seems to have some fate with you, so let him stay by your side to serve closely."
"Understood!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuansheng eagerly agreed.
Being able to stay by the side of a Great Saint, even just receiving a few pointers on cultivation, would be immensely beneficial for him.
Moreover, his safety would greatly increase.
This is practically the cherished opportunity that all cultivators on the islands dream of.
It's not an exaggeration to call it a crucial step in changing his fate.
...
After the banquet, Zhong Shenxiu led Qin Weiyin, with Jiang Yuansheng guiding them from the front.
"Chongming Island originally had three main halls, which are the best places in terms of Feng Shui and scenery... Today, as the Great Saint comes, we have specially opened one 'Lianxing Tower,' which is not only exceptionally scenic but also very quiet, free from disturbance..."
Jiang Yuansheng cautiously asked: "How does the Great Saint find it? If not satisfied, we can change it..."
"No need."
Zhong Shenxiu looked at a seven-story pavilion ahead and couldn't help but smile.
These cultivators have even figured out his preferences.
When residing in the villa of Tai Sui Society, he preferred tranquility, so they found a quiet place, making it evident they put in the effort.
The weight of a Great Saint is indeed substantial.
It is said that if one goes to the West, they would be called a 'sage,' with a status even more noble than a king of a major country.
After all, a king can be replaced once dead, but if a Great Saint falls, allowing the Great Evil to ravage a region, it could result in tens of thousands or even millions of deaths!
"I don't like using maidservants; let Qin Weiyin serve alone. You can check in daily."
After arriving at Lianxing Tower, Zhong Shenxiu dismissed Jiang Yuansheng and said to Qin Weiyin: "How is it?"
"Very clean..."
Qin Weiyin closed her eyes. As a civilized demon, she was very sensitive to information exchange: "There's no hint of spying or probing..."
"Of course, in front of a Great Saint, they wouldn't humiliate themselves, nor dare offend me... Today, those three Great Saints were quite interesting, especially that Huang Longshi."
Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily but did not say much when faced with Qin Weiyin's probing gaze.
After assigning her as his protector, he looked up at the moon and murmured: "The foundation of the Great Saint has been established, tonight the moonlight is just right, then... let's break through completely!"
The watered-down Corpse Dissolving Immortal he achieved was in the sea, returning to the sea now to break through to the Great Saint Realm seemed somewhat destined.
Zhong Shenxiu arrived on a piece of land, looking at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly deep in thought: "This bright moon might well be a Dao Ancestor, even an entity of supreme existence..."
Amidst the silver radiance, he flicked his finger, and a deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground.
Zhong Shenxiu lay in it, his hair silently growing.
In the sea of his consciousness, the last trace of the [Taiyin Corpse Disintegration Talisman] became thoroughly solidified!
At this moment, Fang Lang achieved through corpse dissolution and became an unorthodox Great Saint!
Buzzing!
The formed [Taiyin Corpse Disintegration Talisman] extended far and wide, allowing Zhong Shenxiu to roughly grasp the power of this authority.
"I must say... though weak, completely incomparable to singular divinity, but indeed it surpasses a Corpse Dissolving Immortal! Moreover... this particular trait..."
Zhong Shenxiu borrowed the talisman authority, and a sliver of his mind invested upon the moon.
...
At this moment, countless cultivators in the East, and astrologers in the West, suddenly looked up.
In places where the moon could be seen, people were shocked to discover that the round moon in the sky suddenly blinked, as if... it were an eye?
'This is the power of the Great Saint's authority...'
At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu seemed to return to when he first entered this world, giving him a better perspective of observing this world.
Simultaneously, a sense of kinship from the body of Fang Lang also exerted a slight attraction on him.
'Could it be the blood relative of this body?'
As he willed, accompanied by this mysterious feeling, he saw a certain place in Minhai County within the Great Zhou Dynasty...
