Martial God Asura

Chapter 6578: The Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Quandary

“I’ll make it up to that big sister in the future,” Little Fishy said.

“Something is amiss here, Chu Feng. Why would Little Fishy suddenly need origin energies?” Eggy grew vigilant.

Chu Feng also noticed the same problem and asked, “Yu’er, did something happen?”

“Of course not. It’s just...”

LIttle Fishy was about to explain with a radiant smile when Chu Feng interjected, “Yu’er, don’t lie to me.”

Hesitation flickered in her eyes. “Big brother, my clan met with some trouble.”

“It’s fine, Yu’er. I’ll shoulder the burden with you no matter the situation. Tell me what happened,” Chu Feng said gently.

Little Fishy’s eyes reddened. It formed a stark contrast to her powerful aura. She might have grown stronger, but she still had a vulnerable side. Chu Feng’s presence greatly comforted her, especially because she knew that he meant those words.

Little Fishy looked at the guild leader and the lunatic and said, “Elders, my apologies but...”

The guild leader raised her hand to stop her. “I get it. You two speak.”

With that, the guild leader and the lunatic took their leave.

“Big brother, follow me.” Little Fishy made her way to the place where she emerged from.

Chu Feng followed her, and they soon arrived at a natural cavern world located at the bottom of the Immortal Sea. This was where Little Fishy had been undergoing closed-door training.

Chu Feng was perplexed.

This place was rich in the Immortal Sea’s aura, making it an ideal cultivation ground for the Immortal Sea Fish Clan, but there was no isolation barrier here. It didn’t make sense for Chu Feng to have failed to sense Little Fishy earlier.

Just then, Little Fishy opened her mouth, and a bead-sized light sphere floated out from within. This light sphere contained isolation energy that not even Chu Feng could see through.

Little Fishy formed a hand seal, and the light finally receded. Only then did Chu Feng realize that the light sphere was a formation realm. There were countless figures meditating inside the formation realm, including Little Fishy’s parents, grandfather, and older brother, Xianhai Shaoyu.

They were all cultivating, and Chu Feng could sense them improving in real-time. Little Fishy wasn’t the only one who became stronger.

The reason behind their swift growth was the golden aura. The golden aura was coming from the formation realm, and it harnessed the concentrated aura of the Immortal Sea. There was no better cultivation resource than this to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.

This should have been a good thing, but Chu Feng sensed something amiss.

He didn’t rush to voice his concern aloud. Instead, he patiently waited for Little Fishy to share her story.

“Big brother, have you heard about the story of our Immortal Sea Fish Clan and the Immortal Sea?” Little Fishy asked.

She knew that Chu Feng was lacking knowledge about the world of cultivation, particularly because it hadn’t been that long since he emerged from the Eastern Region.

“I only heard about the story after I saw the phenomenon,” Chu Feng replied.

“The story is true. Our Immortal Sea Fish Clan underwent a metamorphosis after absorbing the Immortal Sea’s energy. It paved the way for our ancestors to rise to prominence in the Immortal Sea Galaxy. That was why we set the Immortal Sea as our ancestral land.

“Not long ago, we sensed changes in our ancestral land and realized that it still retains some of its energy. We were able to tap into that energy and benefit from it. On top of that, I discovered something. The energy in our ancestral land isn’t just a cultivation resource; it is alive, sentient, and powerful. It’s similar to a natural oddity, but far stronger.

“I had tried communicating with the ancestral land, but to no avail. This time, it finally worked. My conjecture was right. Our ancestral land is indeed alive and sentient. As a result, I learned some things,” Little Fishy said.

“What is it?” Chu Feng asked.

“Our ancestral land’s energy didn’t disappear because we depleted its energy. Rather, it was devoured by a terrifying monstrous beast who lived in the vicinity,” Little Fishy replied.

Eggy spoke up, “Chu Feng, could that monstrous beast be that golden-haired woman?”

“It is possible,” Chu Feng replied.

He didn’t mention the golden-haired woman right away but instead waited for Little Fishy to continue her story.

“That monstrous beast devoured not just our ancestral land’s energy but life force as well, causing it to wither. To protect itself, our ancestral land sealed off its remaining energy and retreated deep underground. It is summoning us now not just to help us, but also in hopes that we can help it,” Little Fishy said.

“How can we help it?” Chu Feng asked.

“Our ancestral land raises our cultivation, and in return, we’ll use our powers to nourish it and restore its life force. That is what all of my clansmen are doing right now. However, we met with a quandary,” Little Fishy said with a frown.

“Yu’er, there is bound to be a solution to any problem. Tell me what’s going on, and we can brainstorm together. I’m sure we can resolve any problem,” Chu Feng consoled.

The Immortal Sea Fish Clan appeared to be in a terrible position, evident from how stressed Little Fishy looked. That was why Chu Feng comforted her while probing for more information. He wanted her to know that she wasn’t alone, and he was here to help.

“Big brother, our goal is to raise our cultivation while nourishing our ancestral land, so we’re using a special cultivation method. It could be because our ancestral land is in a poor condition and is unable to control its energy, but our clansmen are unable to awaken from their cultivation.

“Even I struggled to awaken from my cultivation, even after I made a breakthrough to Heavenly God level and induced a huge phenomenon.

“I suspect that it’s not just the ancestral land’s energy binding us. An external force is at play, too. It’s a power resembling that of the ancestral land, but it is malevolent. I sensed your arrival, big brother, but I couldn’t head over to look for you.

“But for some reason, big brother, moments after you arrived, that energy suddenly vanished. That was how I managed to wake up from my cultivation and arrive in time to rescue you from danger,” Little Fishy said.

“It really is that golden-haired woman!” Eggy exclaimed.
