Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 338 The First Item of the Dirty Bag Returns to Its Place: Retracing the Round-the-World Journey

"The two elderly fathers had been worried about the impending chaos."

They pinned their hopes on the fact that "The Theory of Sea Power" could acquire the power to connect all the water bodies in the world, carry the vital energy of the golden toad that gives birth to water, and receive the incense and wishes of the whole world.

Based on this, regardless of race, belief, or nationality, we will mobilize the power of the entire world to bless our Great Wall of Curses.

Now that my senior sister has switched to the [Flying] class, it's a double blessing, and her potential is already beginning to show.

If my ambitions are truly realized in the future, and combined with the effects of "The Influence of Sea Power on the World," it might actually help to form a united front around the world to some extent.

Try to stop the bleak future that the Mountain and Sea Curse forbids from collapsing, leading to a massive invasion of immortal scum and the extermination of 80% of the population.

It could even reverse course, initiating an exploration of the 'celestial realm' beyond the walls.

Wang Cheng immediately told his two older sisters about his plan, and their faces lit up with excitement.

"I think it's very feasible. Once I advance to the third rank, I can have as many [Spirit Communication Nuo Masks] as I want."

"That's a great idea."

Once completed, it will become the supreme military strategy manual for 'great unity of all nations and peoples in the world,' and no demon or monster could withstand the full force of this entity's attack.

What would be a good name for all the countries if they united as one?

It should be understood that even the "Thunder and Fire Revolution" they have begun to promote can, under normal circumstances, only enhance the comprehensive national strength of a country or region.

Even with each additional complete industrial system and each additional industrialized nation, a new competitor will emerge.

Such countries with strong power and war potential are called—great powers!
The irreconcilable contradictions between the great powers are known as the First and Second World Wars!
But with Shen Yueye's ultimate "claim to power," which extends from rivers to the sea and from the Roman civilization of the Western Continent to the whole world, everything seems to be no longer a problem.

If these two transformations, representing material and spiritual changes respectively, are combined into a single, complementary ritual for advancement, then Sister Fox's ascension to the rank of a high-level deity will become an inevitable and unquestionable outcome.

Wang Cheng couldn't resist giving the fox sister a hard kiss on her red lips, then wrapped his arms around the two sisters' slender waists and spun them around in place.

"You're such a treasure!"

Of course, he wouldn't show favoritism just because of the [Spirit Communication Nuo Mask], and he also kissed Sister Axiao's red lips forcefully.

"Oh, and my precious baby too!"

This elicited a coquettish reproach from the two girls.

Then, to celebrate Shen Yueye's job change, the family of three unanimously decided to do something fun.

One of the Yin-Yang dual beings and Sister A-Xiao will soon be leaving the East Sea Kingdom. Such a large Zhenhai Guard and Yuegang cannot do without their presence.

Today, it was a rare treat to sleep together under the same quilt, with a bunch of pink legs and arms wrapped around him, and Wang Cheng didn't want to get out of bed at all.

Furthermore, Shen Yueye's fifth-grade cultivation is still missing three acupoints, requiring their joint efforts.

Wang Cheng possesses the blessing of "Giant Spirit Descending to Earth" and the ability to communicate with demons, resulting in the fastest progress in his life cultivation.

Even if there were two more, let alone just two, it wouldn't be enough to make him walk with his legs bent over: "Hissing sounds"

So, at nine o'clock in the morning:
"Practice makes me happy!"
We have all embarked on the path of cultivating both body and spirit, and have even formed the foremost official positions in the Water and Earth classes, yet we still cultivate so diligently. I will utterly crush everyone present here!

10:00 AM

"I taught the older sisters a few new poses, and they were even happier than before."

This is the correct way to practice the combined Heaven, Earth, and Water elements and the Golden Chamber Sexual Techniques. One day and one night of practice is more efficient than two people doing it for half a month in the past.

Perhaps, besides Lao Lu, who teaches three classes at once, we have found another key to the fundamental principles of Shinto cultivation.

12 noon:
"While spiritual practice is certainly very important, shouldn't we also balance work and rest?"
It seems there are still many administrative matters that require my and my inner confidante, Sister Fox, to make decisions and handle. After such a long period of leisure, it's time to get some work done for at least an hour.
Wang Cheng, you can't keep indulging like this.

Even though you've just turned eighteen and are in great health, you still need to be moderate!

4 PM:

"Since it's already so late, I might as well continue my cultivation."

Midnight: "Happiness!"

5 a.m.: "Happy!"

It wasn't until the morning of the next day, when Wang Fugui's three-day leave from the General's Office came to an end and it was time to part ways, that the three of them had to end their ascetic practice.

Both older sisters were radiant, their skin seemed to glow.

They had simply changed into long silk dresses to cover the hickeys from their necks to their feet, and each of them was holding a Wang Cheng by the arm as they waved goodbye to each other.

Wang Cheng felt that the true qi in his body had increased significantly, and he even gained a lot of extra "karma" due to his tireless and arduous cultivation.

This gave the [Tianshi Junping Method] a much-needed boost.

"happy!"

However, after seeing off Sister Axiao who was returning to Minzhou and Sister Fox who was busy handling government affairs, he still secretly rubbed his waist.

It's true that practicing the three cultivation methods can rapidly improve one's cultivation level, but the actual expenses involved are also real.

"I have been harmed by wine, cough, and lust, and have become so haggard. From today onwards, I will eat more goji berries."

I started taking care of my health at eighteen, which saved me at least twelve years of wasted time and effort compared to others—I've gained an advantage.

The two Jonin who came to find him, the fifth-rank [Steel Rock Ninja] Tachibana Yukichiyo and the fifth-rank [Nugumi Ninja] Kira Hebihime, perfectly demonstrated the professional spirit of the two leaders of the East Sea Ninja Clan, turning a deaf ear and keeping their eyes straight ahead.

Wang Cheng turned his head and glanced at them.

The upper echelons of Donghai Kingdom had long since launched a vigorous de-Japaneseization movement, and distinctive Japanese clothing and hairstyles were gradually disappearing. These two Jonin were dressed as ordinary women from the Great Zhao Kingdom.

Although his appearance is somewhat excessively outstanding, it doesn't remind people of a ninja.

His gaze was fixed on the swamp ninja with golden vertical pupils and two venomous snakes, one blue and one red, wriggling in his sleeves.

"Snake Princess, you get into character pretty quickly."

Like Yukichiyo, Kira Hebi, whose true form is a yokai and whose race is "Snake Bone Granny," immediately knelt on one knee: "It is all because of Your Highness's mercy that the Snake Princess was able to be reborn."

Even if it means being shattered to pieces, Boa Hancock will repay your kindness.

This was no politeness; Wang Cheng, in his capacity as the "Director of the Imperial Court," had already established the strictest legal agreement with this surrendered general of Qiezhidan.

She had to serve three generations of the Wang family until almost the end of her life before regaining her freedom. During this time, any thought of betrayal would make her wish she were dead.

This was only because she was the only Jonin among the Numizu Ninja who could mass-produce cannon fodder Genin; otherwise, she would have been beheaded long ago, just like the other Kirishidan Wokou backbone members.

Currently, the East Blue Kingdom has the [Steel Rock Ninja] led by Yukichiyo, the [Numazumi Ninja] led by Hebihime, and Kidomaru, the [World Demon Ninja] who is temporarily infiltrating the Mori clan.

As the ninja group, skilled in special operations in non-hot warfare, gradually grew in size, Wang Cheng's methods of using the "Offshore Balance Technique" also became more diverse.

At this moment, Tachibana Yukichiyo also respectfully reminded him:

"Your Highness, the other ships summoned by the flagship Trinidad have all returned, and our ninjas have taken control of the crew members on board immediately."

The Garden of Abundance and the Five Temples of Divine Treasures containing the Elixir of Immortality were all intact.

As you requested, all the ships have been moved into the secret dock without anyone noticing. What should we do next?

The Donghai Kingdom already possessed a ship called the Santiago, which was planted with "kidney flowers"; and it obtained the Concepción, which was planted with "heart flowers," from Emperor Shaozhi.

The San Antonio, planted with "lung flowers," was in the hands of the Dutch; the Victoria, planted with "spleen flowers," was in the hands of the Zhu family.

Among them, only Uncle Zhu from the Old Port Pacification Commission and Princess Jiashan, whom I had met once before, were considered old acquaintances from past lives. Since we were too familiar with each other, it would be a bit awkward to take things without asking.

Therefore, the Victoria has not been summoned for the time being.

Wang Cheng decided to write a letter to Zhu Yaozhai explaining the situation and allowing him to use the Victoria to invest in the United Fruit Company and share a portion of the profits from Southeast Asia.

At the same time, it also requires relying on the other party's influence in Southeast Asia, which has been established for two hundred years, as well as the alchemy skills of a third-rank [Dan Ding Dao Shi].

Otherwise, even if they collected all the Five Temples Divine Treasure Flowers, it would be difficult to find a reliable alchemist to refine the Five Organs Returning to Truth Pill. It can be said that everyone complements each other's strengths and achieves a win-win situation through cooperation.

However, there are more important things to do before that.

Wang Cheng led two ninjas to the dock and stood before the Trinidad, a national treasure that had been completely subdued.

Calculate the auspicious time and set up the altar according to the method of filling the altar with treasures.

Holding a magic sword, stepping in the Yu style, chanting incantations:

"The Five Spirits Primordial Sovereign is the essence of the five fires. When fire is returned to water, rivers and seas become clear."

The fire bell vibrates, startling the sea dragon. I draw upon true qi, swiftly descending, infusing it into the skin, whereupon the five internal organs are reborn. So be it!

After burning the talisman, he forcefully inhaled towards the sailing warship that was suddenly emitting magical light.

Whoosh!
As the Daoist Qi entered his body, Wang Cheng immediately felt a sense of fullness arise in his soul.

He quickly looked inward and saw the first impurity inside the clay sculpture of the divine body in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion.

Unlike the Shenxiao Sect's [Shenxiao Five Thunder Talisman], and unlike Sister Axiao who needs to absorb the Qi of the nation to refine five items—seal, bead, sword, bell, and talisman—this is different.

Instead, it directly resembles a golden sailboat, a miniature version of the Trinidad.

The light emanating from his body condensed into the shape of two kidneys, pulsating slightly like living kidneys.

The clay sculpture, which originally looked like an inanimate object, suddenly gained a touch of life.

Wang Cheng nodded secretly:

"Sister Axiao's path has already been set, which is the merging of the Earth God and the Five Grains God into the [Sheji]. There is no need to come up with anything new. As long as we work hard in this direction, it will be enough to reach the first rank safely and steadily."

However, my [Water Balance Captain] has higher potential than the more common White Water Gentleman and Court Attendant Gentleman, and there is no precedent for him, with no ready-made experience to refer to.

This method of using multiple treasures to conceal dirt has greater potential and more possibilities.

Logically, I could also choose to treat these five warships as five containers for waste, forming a naturally fitting cycle like the five internal organs, but it feels like something's missing, and I'd definitely regret it later.

The cultivation of the Five Temples Divine Treasury is to lay the foundation for the formation of one's unique authority when advancing to the upper three ranks of living ghosts and gods, and most of them cannot bring about immediate improvement.

But each item containing the filth represents the future extension of a Shinto official's power.

For example, a sailboat that has completed a circumnavigation of the globe naturally possesses fields such as [navigation], [maritime trade], and [the world].

This would allow Wang Cheng to further expand his authority after advancing to the upper three ranks, creating unique magical artifacts and further establishing his own Yin-Yang Dharma Realm.

The other four treasures should ideally be of the same level, far surpassing ordinary national treasures, in order to forge an unparalleled foundation.

Perhaps it is because this ship is so precious, being one of the very few relics that has had a global impact, profoundly influencing world history in both the East and West.

Even though Wang Cheng had not yet completed the journey through the Five Temples Divine Treasury Realm and condensed his own magical artifact.

The most core skill of the evil spirits and spirits sect, which is also the most compatible with the Trinidad, the "Sending the King Ship" technique, has been further enhanced.

Wang Cheng sensed it briefly and his face lit up with joy:

"That's right, the distance that the [Debt Collector] can jump between individual creditors has been greatly increased compared to the original version."

Originally, the distance from Dazhao to Yingzhou was roughly the limit for debt collection, but now it feels like we can extend all the way to Nanyang (Southeast Asia).

Once you reach the upper three ranks, you might even be able to expand all the way to the Western Continent.

"Huh? There's more?"

When I gently touched the first item containing the dirty thing with my consciousness, I discovered there was a surprise inside.

call--!
A gust of wind swirls up, and the field of vision immediately rises, just like how [Four Seas Treasure] would take me to see all sorts of rare treasures outside the wall during each promotion.

At this moment, Wang Cheng felt a connection with the adventure ship and actually began to travel in reverse, retracing the round-the-world trajectory taken by the flagship of the global fleet, the Trinidad!
