Chapter 360: Chapter 179: On-site Observation (Part 2)
"Not really. Just help me find him."
"No problem."
The Three Lives Sect Leader readily agreed. He then sent a telepathic message to the nearby sect members, ordering them to spread out, contact the government, and find Zhao Rui’s whereabouts as quickly as possible.
"However, Witch Venerable, this man’s Martial Arts are incredibly strong. I’m afraid ordinary people won’t be able to find him..."
As the Three Lives Sect Leader spoke, his gaze flickered toward the dark corner of a tall building below. The movement was extremely fast; he retracted his gaze in the blink of an eye.
"It’s fine. I just want him to know that I’m looking for him. I’ll wait for him to come to me."
Mo Ling’Er gave a faint smile, full of confidence.
She knew Zhao Rui definitely wouldn’t have run far.
"In that case, I will certainly do my utmost to assist... Witch Venerable, I’m not sure where you plan to stay. How about I arrange for some exquisite accommodations for you to rest?"
"Oh? Alright. I want something with character."
Mo Ling’Er raised an eyebrow, quite interested.
The two of them quickly descended and landed on the ground.
An extended luxury car slowly drove over, and a subordinate specially opened the doors for them.
Then, the car whisked the two of them away.
Not long after the two had left, Zhao Rui emerged from a corner. His Charming Maiden Formless Celestial Demon Formless was exceptionally suited for concealing his presence.
Deceiving an ordinary Dharma Realm Martial Artist was no problem at all.
He just wasn’t sure if he had deceived that Demon Sect Leader above. After all, the Phantom Envoy was also his subordinate, so he must have dabbled in these Demon Skills to some extent.
’Looks like all of Woguo has been infiltrated from top to bottom. I just don’t know if Celestial Spring is calling the shots now, or if this Sect Leader is.’
Zhao Rui shook his head slightly. With a flicker, his figure vanished on the spot.
’Since I’m here, I might as well enjoy the Island Country life.’
He usually didn’t get the chance to visit the Island Country for fun.
Especially those classic "story-driven films" from his past life. Many of the scenes were truly captivating.
...
"Director, is this okay? I’m afraid I won’t have any strength left in a bit!"
"It’s fine, Qiao Sang will help you. Let’s lose the clothes; it’ll be more direct."
"Heh, Gudai Yimasu!"
In a room resembling a private residence, a group of men were gathered around a woman, filming certain... unspeakable scenes.
The professionalism on display made Zhao Rui, who was watching from the side, feel his face twitch slightly.
’Damn, it’s not like it is in the movies.’
’So there really is post-production!’
Zhao Rui shook his head slightly, stepped forward, and swaggered out of the room.
Classics, snacks, bars, luxury hotels, even concerts.
Zhao Rui went and checked them all out.
He even went to observe a live session of the "teacher’s instruction" that was so renowned in his past life.
He had now sampled the full spectrum of East Japan’s unique lifestyle.
It was still city life, but the decadent atmosphere was far more intense than before.
Moreover, the situation behind the scenes was even more chaotic than he had imagined. The East Asian government had become a puppet of the Holy Lotus Sect, so naturally, no one was stopping the Sect’s actions anymore.
Some high-ranking officials unscrupulously practiced Demon Skills, treated human lives as disposable, and stole the Primordial Yin of young women—these things had all become commonplace.
Any commoner who dared to resist these acts would, at best, have their minds clouded and be turned into servant puppets.
At worst, they would be captured and used as blood sacrifices for the cultivation of Demon Skills, contributing their part to the growth of the Holy Lotus Sect.
How could a Demon Sect possibly care about face, rules, or protecting the country and its people?
The reason East Woguo fell so quickly was precisely because its people had this inherent nature of frenzy, madness, selfishness at others’ expense, and bloodlust.
This happened to align perfectly with the Holy Lotus Sect’s teachings.
Zhao Rui hadn’t expected the East Japan of today to become like this. On the surface, it still looked relatively normal, but its insides had long been replaced.
’I wonder what’s going on with Zhang Kui!’
Zhao Rui couldn’t help but think of the upperclassman he’d seen before, Zhang Kui. That guy was actually still alive.
And he had even joined the Demon Sect. From the looks of it, his position wasn’t low, either.
And that Luo Min was a member, too.
He just didn’t know what state the two of them were in. If they had already fallen into the Demon Dao...
A sharp glint flashed through Zhao Rui’s eyes.
Not long after Zhao Rui left the small film set, a terrifying tremor suddenly shook all of East Japan.
The tremor ran through the entire island, causing many buildings to sway from side to side, looking as if they were about to collapse.
Zhao Rui had no choice but to leap into the air to dodge the various objects falling from above.
The shaking lasted for about ten seconds before it stopped.
Although it didn’t cause many buildings to collapse, it gave Zhao Rui a real fright.
’This damn place!’
Zhao Rui was just about to dart away when he suddenly saw a brilliant radiance burst forth from the sea not far away. The sky filled with a dazzling, misty glow, as if some rare and Exotic Treasure was being born.
At the same time, a mysterious Divine Soul Power pulsed with the rising and falling of the misty glow, emitting a unique Magical Power aura.
"This is?"
Zhao Rui’s expression froze. With a flicker of his body, he was already rushing toward the seashore.
This feeling of Spiritual Qi fluctuation was something he had only ever encountered from a few Divine Weapons, like the Qiushui Changtian Sword in the Emei Master’s hands.
There was no mistaking that peculiar fluctuation.
Before he could even reach the coast, a fierce gale suddenly blew in from the sea in the distance.
From the source of the glowing haze, a sky-blotting tidal wave abruptly surged, rolling toward the shore like a vast wall.
Zhao Rui paused and hastily soared into the sky, climbing to an altitude of over two hundred meters to look into the distance.
Only then did he see a massive hole that had appeared on the distant sea’s surface, with an endless torrent of gas spewing out from within.
It formed a colossal hurricane, blowing the ocean waves out in all directions.
And that location was precisely where the Divine Weapon’s fluctuations were coming from.
The last time he encountered such a huge wave, Zhao Rui hadn’t yet advanced to the Divine Void Realm. He didn’t even have the ability to fly and was nearly swept away by the sea.
This time, he naturally had no such worries.
With a flicker, his body shot toward the center of the sea like a long rainbow, racing away.
Having witnessed the Witch Venerable’s power and learned more about Gui Xu, Zhao Rui knew there were still many things he had yet to come into contact with.
At the very least, his knowledge of Divine Weapons was lacking.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rui couldn’t help but recall the Horsetail Whisk he had left back in Qing City.
That Horsetail Whisk was a Divine Weapon used by Cangwu Zi before he fell to the Demon Dao. After his fall, it was lost on the ground, and Zhao Rui picked it up and took it.
After all, the item’s origins were questionable, so Zhao Rui had never used it.
As for the people from Qing City, they weren’t sure if Cangwu Zi had been carrying it or if it had been lost.
So naturally, they wouldn’t ask him about it directly.
Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun, Ascension in the rosy clouds!
If one were to ignore the twenty to thirty-meter-high tidal waves and the raging winds...
...just looking at the red sun and the evening glow while flying through them really gave one the feeling of having become an immortal.
Zhao Rui’s current Sword Intent Transformation Sky Technique was incredibly fast. In just the blink of an eye, he arrived above the massive vortex.
A fierce gale surged from the vortex, making Zhao Rui’s body sway.
He looked down into it. It was a pitch-black, deep hole with no visible bottom.
’This kind of natural weather is impossible on Blue Star. For it to appear one after another, it must be related to Gui Xu. Could this be one of the passages?’
Zhao Rui frowned slightly.
There was one question Zhao Rui still had no answer for.
Where exactly did the Central Plains Sects and the defeated army of Gui Xu come from?
Before, the Illusionary Sound Old Demon could perhaps be explained as a descent via a Divine Soul Secret Technique, rather than his actual body.
But now, these experts from the various Sects had clearly come in their true bodies.
Yet all of these people were extremely secretive about it and naturally wouldn’t volunteer information about the path they took to get here.
"You little thief! Haha, I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist!"
Just as Zhao Rui was lost in thought, the sound of something tearing through the air came from the distance, along with Mo Ling’Er’s triumphant laughter.
Hearing this, Zhao Rui hurriedly retreated at top speed, ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
"Little friend, don’t be hasty!"
The Three Lives Sect Leader, who had arrived with Mo Ling’Er, quickly called out to Zhao Rui and said in a clear voice, "Little friend, do you know what this vortex is?"
Zhao Rui halted, shook his head, and said, "I do not. I would like to hear the details!"
"This is the Realm of Space!"
"The Realm of Space?"
