The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 376: 373: Sea Clan Invasion, Mermaids
The fantasy world,

All living beings are in the alliance.

Chu Zhou's figure flashed and he appeared in the hall. He looked around and saw the five-member team of the All Living Beings Alliance, all of them were present.

The retired emperor Ji Ruofeng of Dayun, the eldest princess of Dayan Murong Yan, the uncle of the Khan of the Golden Horde Tuoba Renxian, plus Donghuang and Baidi.

The five people were arguing about something with heated words, and the angriest one was Princess Murong Yan of Dayan.

His chest was heaving, his face flushed red, and he looked like he was about to explode with anger.

Chu Zhou's appearance made them suddenly quiet down, their expressions stiff.

Without waiting for them to speak, Chu Zhou asked directly: "Who can tell me what's going on?"

"The sea tribe is attacking? The Dragon King of the South China Sea didn't dare to attack us during the decisive battle with the ghost tribe. You think they are attacking us now?"

"To be honest, I can hardly believe it!"

The five people looked at each other, and Murong Yan couldn't help herself. She stood up and said, "Palace Master Chu, this is the fact!"

"The southern coastline of Dayan has been flooded by the tide again, extending hundreds of miles inland."

"We, the Great Yan Dynasty, have just relocated hundreds of thousands of people here, divided the land, and worked hard to cultivate the land. It is almost harvest time.

The results of it? "

"Millions of acres of fertile farmland were lost, hundreds of thousands of mortals were killed or injured during the migration, and countless more were displaced and became refugees."

"As a result, a plague broke out, and many people died of disease and starvation."

Chu Zhou's face was cold and hard, and his expression was ugly. He interrupted directly: "What about disaster relief? How is the disaster relief work going?"

Murong Yan said: "The court has already mobilized, and has first transported a batch of food over, and is also organizing Taoist doctors and preparing medicinal materials.

That’s right, it just takes time!”

"Then hurry up, hurry up! The All-Kings Alliance can lend a hand and dispatch a batch of supplies, personnel, and doctors.

If you still can't handle it, I will let the disciples of Xuanzhen Dao Palace go."

Having said that, Chu Zhou turned his head and looked at the others: "There are some things you can do, fighting openly or secretly, it's normal.

But some things are my bottom line.

I don’t want to see you treating mortals like ants when you are cultivating immortals.”

"If it really comes to that, you will be nothing more than ants in my eyes."

Chu Zhou's words were like thunder, weighing on everyone's hearts. Ji Ruofeng quickly said, "We just discussed these things, and have already sent invitations to some sects that are proficient in medicine.

A batch of Taoist doctors and medicinal materials will be transported to the southern border of Dayan at the fastest speed through Ruyi Gate. "

“That place is still a war zone, and the safety of these people is difficult to guarantee.

That’s what we were arguing about.”

"We wanted to send some experts ourselves, but Princess Murong insisted that Dayan send people to escort us."

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and figured it out.

Dayan was obviously afraid that experts would enter and spy on information, so he prepared to send his own guards. However, those Taoist doctors were also treasures of each family.

Those who can come up with something at this time obviously have extraordinary means. If one or two of them really die, they will cry.

I don’t know how much more trouble there will be in the future!

After a slight pause, Chu Zhou said, "I will ask Xuanzhen Dao Palace to send disciples to protect us. Do you have any objections?"

"It would be great if Xuanzhen Dao Palace intervened!"

"I agree too!"

"I agree."

"..."

Even if someone has some ulterior motives, who would dare to say "no" at this moment?

Chu Zhou added: "Send the order of Xuanwozhen Dao Palace, and ensure the disaster relief work. If anyone obstructs or dares to be disrespectful, I will send someone to help him be decent."

With these words, everything is stable. Nowadays, there are not many people in this small piece of land who dare to provoke Xuanzhen Taoist Palace.

Of course, the reason why Chu Zhou did this was actually to establish his authority and set an example.

When he rebuilt the Alliance of All Beings, he already had a humanitarian protection plan and forced it through.

But that was just an approval. This time it is implemented and a benchmark must be set.

After doing all this, Chu Zhou asked again: "Now, who can tell me what is going on with those sea creatures?"

This time, it was Murong Yan who spoke up: "Palace Master, the attack by the sea tribe this time was obviously deliberate."

"Although we don't think the sea tribe dares to attack actively, we still have the necessary preventive measures."

“There is an army of 100,000 soldiers stationed on the border of the South China Sea. The backbone of the army are soldiers who retreated from the battlefield of Zhou Juetian.

Their strength and tactics are beyond doubt, but even such a large army was defeated in less than a day after engaging in battle with the sea tribe."

"Moreover, this time they did not rely on the backflow of seawater, but fought head-on and defeated our Great Yan army."

"According to the soldiers who have retreated, the sea tribes are extremely powerful. There are even tens of thousands of transformed demon generals, and each of them is fearless and unafraid of death."

"In terms of command style, it is very different from the previous South China Sea Dragon King."

Tuoba Renxian spoke at the right time: "So, we have some guesses. Maybe the Hailong Kingdom has changed its supreme commander.
or……"

Having said this, he paused and seemed a little hesitant.

Chu Zhou said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Bai Di took over the conversation: "Just as the Palace Master said, when our human race and the ghost race had a decisive battle, the Sea Dragon Nation did not dare to take action.

Now they are launching a massive attack, which is really suspicious!"

“So, we speculate that the Sea Dragon Nation may have received support from other parties.

Or maybe other forces are forcing the Sea Dragon Nation to launch a massive attack."

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"There is no specific information, but the soldiers of Dayan who retreated brought back a photo stone that showed this."

It was Dong Huang who spoke this time. He raised his hand and waved it. A curtain of light descended from the void, revealing a picture.

That was the top of the mountains. The Dragon King of the South China Sea with a human body and a dragon head stood there, but he bowed slightly, showing a respectful look.

In front of him, a man dressed in black, with a slender figure and outstanding demeanor, stood facing the wind.

He had a handsome face with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were icy cold and lacked much warmth.

The mountain has been occupied by densely packed sea monsters. They are wearing golden shell armor, holding steel forks, wearing uniform attire, and are full of imposing manner and demonic aura.

Although there are many types of them, and there are even some huge monsters with sturdy bodies, at their core, they are all human bodies with fish tails.

Chu Zhou frowned slightly, as if he remembered something: "Is this a mermaid?"

"Yes, this is the mermaid!"

Murong Yan said: "According to the information we have now, although the sea clan world is vast and sparsely populated, it is divided into many sea clan kingdoms.

Among them, the strongest is not the Sea Dragon Nation, but the Mermaid Nation."

"So, you guess that the mermaids intervened in this war?"

Murong Yan hesitated, and Ji Ruofeng took over the conversation and said, "It's just a guess, and we can't be sure now." Chu Zhou didn't say anything when he heard it, but his eyes flashed as he looked at the man in the picture, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

It was like this person posed a great threat to him and made him irritated.

"Since you're not sure, let's go and take a look!"

As he said this, Chu Zhou's figure disappeared.

In the Xuanzhen Taoist Palace, Chu Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, but did not move his body. Instead, his mind moved, and the realm of Tao unfolded.

Only after taking a tour of the Liuguang Realm did Chu Zhou discover how magical and important this realm was!
The universe is vast, and the many environments are extremely complex and difficult to describe. They are also affected and the rules are changeable.

If immortal cultivators want to survive and move around in these places, they must have the ability to protect themselves. This realm of Tao can shield them from many unfavorable factors and assimilate them with its own rules.

In this way, one can reach for the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the five oceans without any worries.

Take the Liuguang Realm for example. In fact, its rules are slightly different from those of the Chilong Realm.

For example, the basic rules of gravity, air composition, etc. are different. Only when the realm of Tao is opened can one use one's own magical powers, magic weapons and treasures without hindrance.

When one reaches the Spirit Transformation Realm, there are more things one can do, so Chu Zhou has been trying to open the realm of Tao outside his body all the time and achieve a balance between consumption and recovery.

Of course it does not expand, but it covers the body surface with a thin layer, which seems to be there and not there. It does not affect the activities, but it can give people the power to be immune to all kinds of attacks.

However, when he opened the realm of Tao at this time, it was naturally not for cultivation, but to manifest the mental image of heaven and earth.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the mind was like heaven and earth unfolding, and the three worlds refined by Chu Zhou had already appeared.

Inside, you can vaguely see towering mountains and steep cliffs, surrounded by a jade belt; you can see forests and sea of ​​trees, with monkeys crying and birds singing; you can see blue sky and white clouds, and the city is like a star.

And above these three worlds, in the void, there seemed to be overlapping phantoms, revealing the outline of a secret realm.

Some are big, some are small, like the Xuanzhen Taoist Palace, which is almost level with the human world, and some are as small as the Ice and Snow World, which is just a point in the center. As for the cave heaven in Xinzhou, it is still in ruins.

Of course, the above is not everything Chu Zhou saw, not even the most important part.

He also saw inspiration like the sea, vast and endless, circulating back and forth; he saw rules like threads, dense and bound, binding the heaven and earth; he saw space like a funnel, with countless holes; he saw time like a long river, flowing from the source to the downstream...

People see different things when they stand at different heights.

Nowadays, no secret can hide from Chu Zhou’s eyes.

Of course, this is actually an illusion. In fact, inspiration, rules, space, and time are all obscured, making it hazy.

It felt like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water. Occasionally, he could see clearly, but from time to time, interference would arise and affect his vision.

However, now that he is in the Spirit Transformation Stage, his soul is strong and he can do things that he didn't dare to do before.

A small person jumped out from above his head. It was Chu Zhou's Nascent Soul.

Carrying his soul, he plunged into the world of mind. The next second, he seemed to have merged into this world of mind.

In just a moment, he seemed to become the wind, the clouds, the light, and the lightning.

He is like a god, high above the heavens, with his eyes cast down; he is also like God, omnipresent and all-encompassing.

At this moment, he can change the weather with just a thought and travel endless distances in one night.

His many thoughts came together, and he gained a backbone and remembered the purpose of this trip.

Thus, as his mind moved, the space suddenly twisted, and countless scenes quickly retreated. Then, when it recovered again, he had already arrived at the southern border of Dayan, the coastal area.

Then he saw it, the miserable state and devastation of the area.

The sea water flooded in, washed away everything, and the land was covered with mud.

In the fields that had not been harvested, clusters of wheat ears fell down, many were uprooted, and most of them were limp and could never stand up again.

The city was also submerged by sea water. Many buildings were washed away and countless dead bodies were floating on the water.

The low-lying areas also formed lakes, and the sea creatures worked there, digging bigger and deeper pits in order to accumulate sea water.

There were also demon soldiers and generals patrolling there, holding steel forks and driving away the surviving humans.

If there is anyone who is disobedient, they will often pounce on him directly, bite off his head in one bite, chew it excitedly, and blood will spurt out.

This was just one place. Chu Zhou's thoughts were as fast as lightning, and he had covered an unknown distance in an instant.

Then he saw more tragic scenes.

This time, the sea tribe seemed to be really preparing for a large-scale attack. Chu Zhou discovered that they were actually widening those rivers, just like building canals, trying to open up waterways in various places.

And hundreds of miles in the hinterland, Dayan set up another defense line. This time, they really did not dare to be careless.

Therefore, when fighting with Zhou Juetian, all the war weapons that were invented were taken out.

The ghost-killing chariots, ghost-killing flying boats, divine cannons, and special artillery shells were all piled up in front of the battle line.

Of course, they are not stupid. They know that war weapons that are effective against ghosts may not be effective against sea people.

So, they have actually changed.

For example, the original track design of the Ghost-Killing Chariot was no longer viable and it got stuck in the mud and couldn't get out.

Therefore, they replaced it with an air cushion, and added sails and formations. As long as they created strong winds, they could run very fast regardless of whether it was on water or mud.

As for the Ghost-killing Flying Boat, its speed seemed a bit slower, and we had already found ways to increase its agility and speed, and correspondingly reduce the power of its main gun.

Then there are the shells. The Yaoyang Gold is useless against the sea people, and ordinary shrapnel shells have no effect either. The main reason is that the water flow has a very good damage reduction effect.

So, someone came up with an idea and wrapped the blooming bomb with an ice talisman.

With one shot, large areas of water will freeze over, causing effective damage.

In addition, the effect of the lightning talisman is also good. Water is conductive. One shot can explode with a burst of thunder, which can paralyze those demon soldiers and generals.

It has to be said that compared to hard power, humans are actually better at these "strange tricks" and can maximize their combat power.

Of course, these are not the latest inventions of the Great Yan Dynasty, and it is too late. In fact, everyone knows that it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day.

The upper echelons of the Great Yan Dynasty had long been wary of the sea tribe, so these research and development plans were naturally put on the desk.

Moreover, Chu Zhou understood as soon as he thought about it that there must be a plan to deal with the Mountain King Demon Kingdom, which was also being silently carried out.

It was this kind of preparation for a rainy day that finally showed its effect at this moment.

On the battlefield between the sea clan and the human clan, one side was powerful and well-prepared, while the other side used all sorts of means and was not at a disadvantage.

It was also at this time that Chu Zhou finally saw the mountain, the mountain that was surrounded by monsters and on the top of the mountain stood the man in black clothes.

At this moment, Chu Zhou seemed to see through something, his face changed drastically, and his thoughts shook violently.

Then, above the sky, the wind and clouds changed, turning into thick dark clouds pressing down, and silver snakes danced wildly and spread in the clouds.

Crackling!

Rumble, rumble!

The thunder struck like the end of the world.

The man on the top of the mountain also suddenly looked up, his eyes sharp, and raised his hand to create a stream of water that shot up into the sky like a fountain and spread out in all directions.

As a result, the contact between thunder and water magic was deadlocked in mid-air.

At this moment, Chu Zhou's voice resounded throughout the world: "I never thought, I never thought, you would dare to enter my world in person."

"Lord of the Secret Realm of the Sea Clan, I don't know your name, but you are seeking death!"

The roaring sound was like an angry god, and the power of thunder suddenly became ten times stronger, connecting the sky and the earth, bombarding down without any regard.
