CHAPTER 682: CHAPTER 407 RETURN, ATTEMPT

Gulu!

Several days later.

Streams of bubbles floated up before the black palace, a gigantic octopus trying to command the newly subdued fishman warriors.

"Shaa!!"

The sound echoed, creating ripples.

Each fishman warrior remained vigilant, scattered throughout the Sea Split Canyon.

Relying on his Spiritual Link to see everything clearly, Chen Feng stood near the deep pit sea eye, his Black Dream Mark long activated.

This journey to the Realm of the Dead had yielded immense rewards; he could already leave.

But he still needed to investigate one more thing.

Immediately, he looked over.

Dressed in a silver church robe, Archbishop Gali led several members of the Storm Church in reinforcing the seal.

Bursts of light intermittently emanated from them, sometimes transforming into storm lightning, sometimes forming frost patterns.

A certain residual oppression was thus awakened, and Chen Feng could vaguely perceive its might.

It was as if a mysterious factor was awakened, resembling spiritual residue, or like some powerful entity casting its gaze.

Buzz!!

Instantly, the ocean waves diffused again, continually spreading over the sea eye.

Focusing intently, the so-called sealing light screen appeared multicolored, with patterns of flames and frost, as well as lightning and storms.

It looked like a rainbow crystal barrier, several hundred meters across, perfectly covering the sea eye.

"Residual Divine Power, huh..."

Chen Feng squinted, suspecting that this was what Bishop Gali previously mentioned, the residual Divine Power that needed to be awakened with a ritual.

That was another level above angels.

Even if the True God slumbered, there were still corresponding methods left behind.

For this reason, he could sense that his external perception encountered an invisible suppression.

Not only the surrounding residual oppression was awakened, but a large part was also due to the isolation of the sealing light screen.

It felt like a kind of world rule, forcibly locking all power, capable of weakening and suppressing any intrusion and interference.

He even felt that, even if he didn’t intervene, the humanoid shadow with bat wings couldn’t easily break through the seal; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been enticing the Fishman Clan here, expending so much effort.

Buzz!!

For a moment, the condition of the seal reinforcement persisted for a long time.

Perhaps because he bore the so-called Storm Blessing, Bishop Gali and others surprisingly didn’t guard against him much, focusing fully on the ritual.

Lost in thought, Chen Feng did not interrupt, silently standing aside.

When the invisible fluctuation suddenly dispersed in the end,

the five-color light on the sealing light screen vanished, indicating Bishop Gali had finished the ritual and was slowly withdrawing the storm spirit exuding from him.

"The seal on this Ghost Sea Channel should be fine for a while."

He said softly, and the other four members of the Storm Church breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ghost Sea was the land of undead, a source of pollution, and if truly breached, the consequences were unthinkable.

Seeing their expressions, Chen Feng’s eyes glinted briefly, quickly walking forward to take the opportunity to inquire.

"I see the seal here has the power of many gods. Why is it the responsibility of the Storm Church?"

Feigning curiosity, Bishop Gali paused momentarily before responding.

"The Ghost Sea Channel is not the only one; each major church has similar duties."

"The Sea Split Canyon is located on the east side of the Steel Kingdom, not far from our church headquarters...."

Hearing this, Chen Feng’s heart moved, taking the opportunity to ask how many Ghost Sea Channels there were.

This was the reason he had been waiting here.

He was curious whether other places had similar situations of previous seal breakages.

Divine Attribute Fragments weren’t easy to collect, and if given the chance, he wouldn’t mind seeking and verifying them.

"Apparently, you are indeed not one of the church’s people."

Bishop Gali gave him a deep look, having guessed over the past few days of interaction that the other party did not belong to any church.

Especially such secretive matters that, if truly a church angel, ought to be known.

Still, it also meant he felt deeply confused in his heart.

Since he was not a church believer, why did the other party receive the Storm God’s blessing?

Thoughts flashed by as Chen Feng didn’t deny it, merely waiting calmly.

Bishop Gali pondered for a moment before finally not concealing it.

"Since you received the blessing, it must be the revelation of our God."

"The Ghost Sea Channels are not so secret, apart from this place, there are ten other places..."

"Rock Mountain City in the Steel Kingdom, Black River Valley in the Tulip Kingdom, Gray Mist Bay on the west coast of the Holy Star Empire, and central Red Flame Mountain...."

His smooth-sounding voice carried a hint of worry and reflection, while surprise appeared in Chen Feng’s eyes.

Including this sea eye, this world actually had eleven invasion pathways left by the Black Tide?

Moreover... Rock Mountain City, Red Flame Mountain?

He strangely felt as if these two names were somewhat familiar.

"The capital of the Steel Kingdom was originally in Rock Mountain City."

"Later, for certain reasons, it was moved to the nearby Crystal City."

Gali shared some past history, being a core high-level member of the church, he knew secrets far beyond the ordinary.

"As for Red Flame Mountain."

"That’s where the Flame Red Dragon resides, and by a stroke of fortune, the Red Dragon Family established a contract with it."

Chen Feng was lost in thought.

Red Flame Mountain was indeed the territory of the Holy Star Empire’s Red Dragon Family, and the rumored Flame Red Dragon resided here.

"So, what is the strength of this Flame Red Dragon?"

He inquired out of curiosity, naturally not forgetting he had some enmity with this family.

"If it’s just the current one, its power should not be beneath yours."

Gali said with a smile, making Chen Feng’s eyes narrow.

"The current one?"

"The ancient progenitor dragon of the Flame Red Dragon clan is a true angel who followed the Flame God, once participating in the Divine War alongside it."

"Currently, it should still be slumbering...."

Hearing this, Chen Feng’s eyes flickered; he hadn’t expected the Red Dragon Family’s reliance to have such a background.

A few thoughts rose in his mind, and he suddenly felt puzzled about why Bishop Gali was willing to tell him such secrets.

"Heh heh, with many church affairs and numerous other matters needing my attention,"

"I will leave a church saint to guard the seal here, but still feel somewhat apprehensive."

"Would it be possible to trouble you to watch over it slightly?"

As if perceiving his confusion, Bishop Gali said with a smile, stroking his goatee.

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly catching the implied meaning.

The secret revealed by the other party was a kind of exchange, simply hoping that he, blessed by the Storm God, would conveniently help watch over the seal.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Feng gave the other party a deep look.

"If I have the time, I will look after it."

He did not refuse, as the Merfolk left here were the best spies.

No need for him to worry much; even if he wasn’t there, he could easily monitor everything nearby through Jia Ta’s Soul Fire.

"In that case, I’ll leave it to your care."

Bishop Gali was pleased, letting out a sigh of relief.

"You’re welcome to come to the Royal Capital to find me anytime."

"The Storm Church will be your best friend."

The tone was sincere enough, and Chen Feng nodded gently.

This was the real reason he agreed to the request.

The friendship of a True God Church; he hoped to use this to uncover more secrets of this world, and perhaps even obtain new Divine Attribute Fragments.

The conversation between the two ended here, and Bishop Gali soon waved his hand, transforming into a tornado and leaving with several people.

In just a dozen breaths, they broke through the sea surface, seeing the clouds and blue sky.

"Your Grace, can we really trust this unfamiliar angel?"

Someone from the church asked, glancing at the ocean with concern for any unexpected events.

Bishop Gali’s eyes were deep, and he spoke lightly.

"The Lord God has long given His revelation."

"The army of the Ghost Sea is about to awaken again; we must unite as much strength as we can."

"This person has His blessing; let’s see what happens next..."

.....

Splash!

Water ripples flashed by, leaving the Church Saint to see Chen Feng off.

Remembering the instructions given earlier, he guarded the surroundings, remaining vigilant.

During this, he looked at the crystal barrier-like seal curtain.

It was incredibly calm, not showing a single ripple.

Nodding secretly, he gently closed his eyes.

But unknown to him.

Beneath this impenetrable seal, in the dark and deep unseen void.

Two scarlet lights suddenly emerged.

Then, as if it was the beginning.

Buzz!!

One pair of similar scarlet eyes opened simultaneously, flashing with primitive desires of hatred and slaughter.

....

Buzz!!

Opening his eyes, Chen Feng lay calmly in bed.

The beams and wooden ceiling came into view, with a gentle breeze blowing in from the half-open wooden window.

The previously suppressed sensing inexplicably became lighter, fully releasing and spreading outward, meter by meter.

The clean stone table and stone stool, the cobblestone path in the small courtyard.

Goldfish swam back and forth in the pond, with disciples standing on both sides of the corridor, seemingly concerned that someone might disturb his closed-door cultivation.

As for further away.

"Hmm?"

Yang Wudi, biting a cigarette, suddenly frowned, as if sensing something.

Beside him, Molly in a black jacket removed the brown wooden brace from her right arm, stretching her muscles, and looked on curiously.

"What’s wrong, Yang?"

"It’s nothing."

Shaking his head, Yang Wudi’s brows relaxed, suspecting it was his imagination.

Or perhaps...

He turned his head to look at Chen Feng’s courtyard.

"After transcending, has the mind become so keen?"

Retracting his perception, Chen Feng’s eyes flickered slightly, gradually adapting to everything upon his return.

At the same time, he noticed Yang Wudi’s actions.

The latter had always excelled far more than other martial artists in the development of Spiritual Extreme Intent.

Correspondingly, with the blessing of World Power, this aspect was also significantly enhanced.

Shaking his head, Chen Feng wasn’t overly concerned about this, as it was still not comparable to Perception Talent.

Getting up, he looked at his phone, discovering a few messages over the past few days.

Most were related to the investigation progress of Chi Bo Energy, but they were still stuck on the previously exposed martial arts creatures, with no new findings.

In comparison, the two messages from Chen Yun and Chairman Li Yun were more noteworthy.

[Chen Yun: Xiao Feng, I’m planning to come back for a while.]

[I’ve already contacted Senior Sister Lin, she’ll come to pick me up, don’t worry, smile.jpg...]

Seeing the text message, Chen Feng wasn’t surprised.

Chen Yun had mentioned before that the research group would take a break, and she wanted to return to Nanjiang for a while.

However.

His eyes moved, thinking about the so-called Legendary Technology and the rumored new metal.

"I wonder, what this new metal is and how it compares to Rainbow Iron?"

With a bit of curiosity, he felt that Chen Yun’s return might help answer this question.

Immediately, he replied with a message before turning to look at Chairman Li Yun’s specially sent message.

Its general content was about resource support from Red Capital.

The two lots of Origin of Life he had requested were already being gathered from the treasure house and would be delivered by someone no later than tomorrow.

Surprised at Chairman Li’s high efficiency, Chen Feng smiled slightly.

"Thank you."

After sending the final message, he set down the phone.

The breeze blew outside, rippling the pond’s surface.

Not in a hurry to leave the house, he instead quietly sensed the talent state of the Sea Gate.

This was Earth Star.

If he were to activate the Sea Gate here and trigger the ocean tides.

Would he succeed?
