The moment Baiyu heard the sound, he immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction the sound came from.
The distant sea horizon was a straight line.
Amidst the layers of white waves, a massive golden ship, shining with rainbow light all over, gradually appeared before his eyes.
The ship grew closer and larger, from far to near.
It gradually filled Baiyu's entire pupils.
Whoosh...
The waves were pushed aside below the giant ship; the enormous tsunami, enough to destroy a city, was nothing but tiny splashes that couldn't even reach the deck of this ship.
Woo woo woo...
The ship's whistle constantly sounded, the only noise in this deathly silent Sea of the Soul.
From its top, tall smokestacks released thick smoke, the resulting water vapor covering a large area of the ocean.
Rumble...
The ship maintained a steady pace as it sailed in another direction, as if nothing could obstruct it.
Of course.
Any sane creature wouldn't think of blocking such a massive ship.
To collide with it?
Wouldn't that be akin to being run over by a dump truck dozens of times?
Gradually, the ship sailed past Baiyu, beginning to travel into the distance, while the sound of its whistle still echoed in the air.
When the ship finally disappeared.
The oppressive feeling on Baiyu's body slowly retreated, but the shock in his heart was hard to appease.
"What on earth is this..."
Baiyu mused, looking at the distant sea horizon.
He always thought that the Heart Sea World had no life, but it now seemed that might not be the case.
Even though he couldn't see any living thing on the ship.
Baiyu felt that perhaps life truly existed in the Sea of the Soul.
Having undergone that experience, Baiyu lost interest in continuing his cultivation; this place wasn't a kind place and wasn't suitable for lingering long.
Moreover, after that time, he had already adapted mostly to his increased spirituality.
Staying here longer wouldn't be very beneficial.
Baiyu wasn't the only human capable of exploring and entering the Sea of the Soul, but those who could gain anything from it might really be few.
Baiyu wasn't greedy.
In the future when he enters the Sea of the Soul again, it should be because he is confident enough to explore.
He retreated.
Baiyu felt he was already at the threshold of Sequence Seven; his current spiritual strength far exceeded that of a normal Sequence Seven Extraordinary.
"Master" as a sequence wasn't difficult to understand, so Baiyu quickly digested the Magic Elixir.
He now felt.
He only needed an opportunity to completely digest the "Master" Magic Elixir and officially enter Sequence Six.
As for that opportunity.
Baiyu had some vague inklings in his heart, but wasn't sure.
After a short rest.
Baiyu went on to teach Moon Lady extraordinary knowledge. She was only interested in knowledge related to Black Moon, which was a bad sign that needed correction.
However.
As Baiyu walked past the pavilion, before reaching the place where Moon Lady and Shi Yi Xian lived, a dazzling meteor suddenly streaked across the sky.
Crack.
Like a thunderbolt descending.
Everyone in Mountain City, whether ordinary people, Martial Artist, or Extraordinary, whether dining, practicing, or doing other things, all raised their heads to look above.
The once smooth, mirror-like sky now had a massive black crack in it.
The Spirit Realm's biting, scorching winds blew in, making pedestrians on the streets extremely uncomfortable for a moment.
Faced with this sudden event.
Many people instantly lost their bearings.
Quite a few yelled, "the sky has broken," "aliens have invaded," causing waves of chaos.
This was only around Baiyu's mansion that he heard these things.
If the Inner City District was like this, one could imagine how chaotic the Outer City District was.
Before Baiyu could react, several teams of guards hurried over, their expressions panicked, clearly also taken aback by the anomaly in the sky.
"No one panics, return to your posts. Close the Earl's Mansion gates, no one is to leave."
Baiyu quickly gave out instructions.
The Earl's Mansion wasn't weak in defense; if something really changed outside, this place would also be relatively safe.
Once everything at the Earl's Mansion was settled, Baiyu hurriedly stormed out.
In the streets.
Because of that black fissure in the sky, the whole street was utter chaos, vehicles and people were all cramped together, running in whichever direction they could.
Some Martial Artists even started emitting Blood Qi, forcing open the crowd, resulting in many injuries.
As for the patrol robots and street cleaners, they couldn't control the situation, and the Security Bureau's patrol team was desperately maintaining order.
But the effect was minimal.
Baiyu intended to rush to the Security Bureau headquarters to mobilize everyone to maintain order, when he heard the all-city broadcast of Mountain City.
"Citizens, do not panic, it's just a minor test on the protective shield's strength, the fissure will soon heal."
"Citizens, do not panic..."
The broadcast repeated the message.
With the official staff's reassurances, the situation improved significantly compared to before.
By the time Baiyu reached the Security Bureau, many people had already gathered. Baiyu naturally didn't believe the nonsense broadcast.
He was certain.
The Defense Spirit Array of Mountain City had been breached!
There was no warning.
The high-ranking officials were likely bewildered too, and the broadcast earlier was just to stabilize the populace.
Seeing the confused looks from the people at the Security Bureau.
Baiyu said solemnly, "First, maintain order, remember not to let anyone exploit this opportunity to cause further chaos.
Try to control the crowd and reassure them."
Hearing Baiyu's instructions, even though the people were still puzzled, they dared not question their superior officer's decision.
Following orders was fundamental.
If they couldn't even do that, they wouldn't have been recruited.
Having managed the Security Bureau tasks, Baiyu then dashed to the Anomaly Bureau, which was the main base for handling emergency disasters.
At this moment.
The big meeting hall of the Anomaly Bureau was filled with dignitaries and officials.
The captains of the Anomaly Bureau had all arrived, along with prominent families of Mountain City, and other departmental officials.
When Baiyu arrived, everyone instantly quieted down.
In the present Mountain City, Baiyu held the highest rank and the greatest authority. In the absence of Yao Shuimei, he was the acting commander of Mountain City.
"What exactly happened?" Baiyu asked the crowd.
A commander from the City Guard Army hurriedly stood up and said, "A Great Demon broke through Mountain City's protective barrier!"
"Great Demon?"
Baiyu looked at him in disbelief: "Say that again, what?"
"Demon, Great Demon!!"
The commander's neck reddened with urgency: "The Protective Spirit Array was breached with a huge crack, and we are working hard to repair it now."
