The Star Saint’s Will collapsed with a bang, unleashing thousands of laws that erupted forth in a dazzling spectacle of color. However, no one was in the mood to admire the view, as these laws shattered the Net of Law formed by Chu Yun and the Night Emperor. Laws scattered into the Sea of Chaos, while others tangled like a ball of yarn.
The world collapsed, and the spherical space finally disintegrated. The ensuing chaos of laws rendered all cultivation methods useless, trapping everyone. The Sea of Chaos detonated, unleashing a continuous barrage of thunderous explosions. Waves rolled in from all directions, and a chaotic black current surged, heralding a tsunami of chaos.
“Not good!” cried the Immortal Pouch King, desperately activating his Mysterious Yellow Breathing Earth Dao Robe. Only Innate Demonic Creatures could resist the devouring power of the Sea of Chaos. However, the chaotic sea’s fury far surpassed their imaginations. A colossal black wave crashed down, making the Immortal Pouch King appear like a faint firefly. The overwhelming force swept him away, his cries for help quickly fading into the depths of the Sea of Chaos.
“Quick, gather!” shouted the Wine King. He released the Dragon Gate Inn, which returned to its normal size, and everyone quickly entered. In the next instant, the chaotic tsunami engulfed the battered space and the Dragon Gate Inn.
The inn, now adrift like a buoy in the turbulent waters, was tossed about violently. Soon, water began seeping through its doors and windows. This Innate Demonic Soldier, only tens of thousands of years old, could no longer withstand the Sea of Chaos’s power.
“Marrow Cleansing Cauldron! Innate Drunken Snow Saber!” Chu Yun, seeing the dire situation, unleashed these two Innate Demonic Soldiers, temporarily stabilizing their position. But it was only a temporary reprieve. The Sea of Chaos’s power grew stronger, constantly tearing and eroding, as if countless demons were gnawing at the Dragon Gate Inn from without.
“This won’t do! The strength of Innate Demonic Soldiers is still no match for the Sea of Chaos. The defensive line will collapse sooner or later,” the Wine King stated grimly after a brief observation.
Xingyu Immortal, frowning slightly, added, “There’s only one solution: form the complete Blissful Joy Ship. I’ve been calculating this for years, and a faint conclusion has emerged. The complete Blissful Joy Ship will be a combined Innate Demonic Soldier. If our seventy-two sisters can overcome the Lightning Tribulation, we will all ascend to the Innate level.”
“Are your calculations reliable?” Xia Fan Immortal asked immediately.
“About a sixty percent certainty,” Xingyu Immortal replied.
“It’s a shame we’ve only managed to gather the sisters present. Including you, Xingyu Immortal, that’s only a little over fifty. And we can’t leave now to gather the other Immortal Consort Demonic Soldiers. How can we form a complete Blissful Joy Ship?” lamented another immortal.
“That’s not a problem,” Xingyu Immortal said, raising her eyebrows proudly. “Over the years, I’ve used my calculation methods to gather demonic soldiers. I now possess all of them, including the one the Immortal Pouch King gave to Chu Yun yesterday.”
“Wonderful! This way, we sisters can finally be truly reunited,” a cheer erupted among the Immortal Consorts. Chu Yun couldn’t help but smile, happy for them.
“But can we survive the Heavenly Tribulation? The last one was almost endless. Even the Tang Jin Kingdom, with the full might of the nation, ultimately failed,” Hongshang Fairy worried.
“That’s why I said this is an unparalleled opportunity,” Xingyu Immortal continued excitedly. “If we were to undergo tribulation in Xingzhou, we would surely fail, and the ordeal from years ago would repeat itself. But here, we are in this Supreme Grade Immortal Pouch, a self-contained system that can completely isolate us from Xingzhou’s Great Net of Law. Now, with the laws in chaos, even if our tribulation attracts attention and triggers a Lightning Tribulation, it will be instantly consumed by the ferocious Sea of Chaos. This is a peerless opportunity for us sisters to reunite!”
Everything has two sides. While the chaotic Sea of Chaos trapped Chu Yun and his companions, it also provided a great advantage for the Blissful Joy Ship to undergo tribulation. With this, everyone wholeheartedly supported the Blissful Immortal Consorts in forming the complete Blissful Joy Ship. With an Innate Level Blissful Joy Ship, they could completely negate the corrosive and devouring power of the Sea of Chaos. Once the sea calmed down, Chu Yun could then deal with the aftermath, and victory would be assured.
It was a moment of great excitement. Years of effort and the deepest desires of their hearts were finally being realized. These chosen daughters, refined into demonic soldiers, had endured countless hardships and trials. Seeing the remaining dozen or so Immortal Consort Demonic Soldiers merge into the Blissful Joy Ship, many Blissful Immortal Consorts wept. Even Chu Yun’s eyes welled up with emotion.
The Blissful Joy Ship flashed more than ten times, its aura growing stronger with each flash, and a woman as beautiful as a celestial being appeared each time. In just over ten breaths, all seventy-two Immortal Consorts were reunited.
“Sisters, we are finally reunited!” the Immortal Consorts embraced each other. “After so many years, countless ages have passed, and we have finally fulfilled our promise and gathered together,” one said, shedding tears. “This moment came so suddenly!” another cried, embracing her sister. Indeed, from the era of the Tang Jin Kingdom until now, this moment had come, late, but not too late.
A warm atmosphere filled the Dragon Gate Inn, and the raging Sea of Chaos outside was forgotten. “Sisters, allow me to introduce our ally, and the greatest contributor to our reunion!” Hongshang Fairy suddenly called out, pushing Chu Yun forward.
Caught off guard, Chu Yun found himself under the intense gaze of countless beautiful eyes. These were women of celestial beauty, their gazes filled with a mix of deep affection, curiosity, gratitude, and reverence. Chu Yun shrugged, “I only went with the flow; everything depends on yourselves. Especially Hongshang Fairy and Xingyu Immortal, their contributions are beyond my reach.”
The women giggled. “What a cute little handsome guy!” someone exclaimed. “Oh! Young Master Chu Yun, it’s not good to always be so humble,” another teased. “Speaking of which, is he really a man? He’s not moved by any of us sisters?” some whispered amongst themselves. “A man who can resist temptation is a good man,” another defended Chu Yun.
Suddenly, the Dragon Gate Inn shook violently. Doors and windows, unable to withstand the pressure of the Sea of Chaos, burst open, allowing torrents of chaotic water to pour in. “Not good. The Sea of Chaos has become even more ferocious after absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation! We can’t hold on much longer,” the Wine King exclaimed in alarm. If they were truly overwhelmed, there would be no escape.
“Strange, why haven’t we, after reuniting and forming the complete Blissful Joy Ship, ascended to the Innate level?” Xia Fan Immortal cried out. The warm and peaceful atmosphere vanished, and Chu Yun wore a grave expression.
Unexpectedly, the Blissful Joy Ship did not advance to the Innate level. Had Xingyu Immortal miscalculated? “Strange, it shouldn’t be wrong. Let me calculate again!” Xingyu Immortal, sweating, moved her fingers in a flowing motion, stars twinkling. After her calculation, she wore a peculiar expression.
The women eagerly asked for the results, but Xingyu Immortal stammered. A newly awakened Immortal Consort, who was also an Abacus Master, spoke up, “The promotion to Innate is not wrong, but it requires activating the Blissful Joy Wheel Turning Grand Array! Only by activating this array can the Blissful Joy Ship unleash its true power and generate endless Innate Original Essence. With the Innate Original Essence to transform our bodies, we can all ascend to become Innate Demonic Soldiers.”
“Then let’s activate the array quickly!” Hongshang Fairy urged. This time, even the Abacus Master hesitated, “This, this… to activate this array, it requires the union of Yin and Yang, male and female. With only us sisters, we can only generate Yin energy, not Yang. Without the interplay of Yin and Yang, it’s difficult to produce Innate Original Essence.”
Everyone present was stunned. “This… does this mean we have to…?” many Immortal Consorts stammered, their faces flushing red.
Just then, the Dragon Gate Inn shuddered violently again. The Dragon Gate Inn, the Drunken Snow Saber, and the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, the three Innate Demonic Soldiers, dimmed their radiance. “Not good. The first and second floors of the inn have been breached by the chaotic sea currents. I’ll head to the third floor to hold them back and buy you time!” the Wine King said, wisely retreating.
He left Chu Yun and the seventy-two Immortal Consorts in an awkward silence. Another violent shudder rocked the inn, the roaring waves of the chaotic sea growing louder. “We can’t wait any longer,” Hongshang Fairy stamped her foot. With decisive action, she looked intently at Chu Yun. “Young Master Chu Yun, our lives are at stake now. We sisters don’t want our reunion to be so short-lived. Please help us and cooperate in completing the Blissful Joy Wheel Turning Grand Array!”
“This…” Chu Yun hesitated, his brow furrowed. He didn’t want to take advantage of their situation, but the urgency of the moment demanded it for their survival. Chu Yun knew he couldn’t die yet. Although the Night Emperor had lost a clone, four King level clones remained in Xingzhou. The Dragon Emperor desired to unify the world, and the Archipel needed him. Furthermore, his own father, the Old Dan King, needed rescuing. Besides, the Blissful Immortal Consorts were willing; what should he fear as a man?
“However, how will I explain this to Bi Han in the future?” he thought, extremely troubled. But ultimately, Chu Yun nodded and agreed, “Alright, let’s form the Blissful Joy Wheel Turning Grand Array together!”
