Chapter 1634: Chapter 1494: The Fifth Heavenly Boundary Monument

Chu Mu and the Fishman Princess returned to Coral City. It seemed that the Fishman Princess knew Chu Mu wasn’t quite accustomed to ocean life, so she took him to the Coral Sea Island.

There were also some Sea Race living on the island, and Chu Mu was quite curious about how the Fishman Princess, with her fish-like body, was going to walk on land.

Just when Chu Mu thought her fishtail might transform into human legs on land, the Fishman Princess, riding the waves that swirled around her, dashed forward on the island, quashing Chu Mu’s excessive daydreams.

As soon as they entered Coral Bay, Chu Mu saw a Sea Lizard Monster commanding a flying cloud mother heading their way.

The Sea Lizard Monster performed a courtesy and spoke a string of the Sea Race language.

The face of the Fishman Princess changed slightly, showing a hint of anger!

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu asked.

“The Catastrophe Sea Demon has occupied our White Island,” said the Fishman Princess. “White Island is an important island of our East Sea, and the White Coral there is the food for our Sea Race infants.”

The Fishman Princess did not explain in great detail, but it was clear that she was very anxious.

At this time, Master Li began to provide additional explanations:

“Newborns of the Sea Race are very fragile and can easily be affected by some strong sea tremors, which don’t happen on land but can lead to the direct demise of fifty percent of Sea Race infants in the ocean before they reach the 10-stage growth metamorphosis period.”

“Feeding these White Corals to the Sea Race infants can strengthen their skeletal and internal resistance significantly. As long as they are properly protected, the survival rate of the Sea Race infants will greatly increase. Since the infants are very weak, their bodies can hardly withstand the energy from the majority of Spirit Items. Therefore, this kind of special Spirit Items that can strengthen the bodies of Sea Race infants is particularly important, especially since the Sea Race doesn’t have Soul Sense like humans to slowly extract the energy from the Spirit Items.”

Master Li seemed to have a good understanding of the situation of the Sea Race. After listening to him, Chu Mu understood the importance of White Island.

It was obvious that the Catastrophe Sea Demon intended to control the newborn offsprings of the Henghai East Sea. Once the lives of the newborns were in its grasp, it would be easy to subdue the Sea Race members who instinctively protect their young pets.

“I apologize, the Catastrophe Sea Demon has launched another attack on our people. Although I am not a battle-oriented Sea Race, as the East Sea Princess, I feel that I should contribute to this war,” the Fishman Princess said to Chu Mu politely.

“If the battle is on the island, I should be able to help you.” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu couldn’t just stand by and watch. The Catastrophe Sea Demon was also a huge threat to the New Moon Land. By helping the Henghai East Sea, it was akin to providing the New Moon Land with a stable and peaceful ocean region.

The Fishman Princess hesitated for a while, feeling it might be inappropriate to involve a guest in her people’s internal conflict. She politely responded, “We should handle it ourselves.”

“It’s okay, didn’t you just say it? We are neighbors and should help each other,” Chu Mu said.

“Then, I thank you in advance!” The Fishman Princess looked at Chu Mu with gratitude.

In fact, the Sea Race was also in need of strong ones at the moment, since many important sea areas must be guarded by experts. Being broken through would be a severe blow to the East Sea.

Originally, the Fishman Princess intended to send someone to take Chu Mu to White Island, but after careful consideration, she realized her father must be extremely busy, so she decided to handle the matter of White Island herself, to reduce some burden for the king of the East Sea.

“Let’s go together,” the Fishman Princess said.

“Okay,” Chu Mu nodded.

The Fishman Princess understood the human language and spoke it fluently. If she sent another Sea Race creature to lead Chu Mu, he felt it would be too strange, as there was simply no way to communicate with them. After all, there are definitely some differences in the way of thinking between the Sea Race and humans.

Chu Mu had dealings with Soul Pets before. In places like the Southern Forbidden Region, he came and went as if it was his own home. Strictly speaking, the members of the Nightmare Demon Clan could be considered his kin, and there were basically no barriers to communication.

…

The Fishman Princess needed to stop a Sea Race guard squad from going to White Island together, so Chu Mu and Ning Man’er decided to head to White Island first to look into the situation.

Flying in the sky, Chu Mu held the guidance pearl given by the Fishman Princess and flew straight toward the direction of White Island.

There was a distance from Coral Sea City to White Island as the sea territory is far more vast than the lands of humans.

“What’s wrong? Not saying a word?” Chu Mu glanced at Ning Man’er beside him and asked curiously.

Ning Man’er didn’t seem to know why she was sulking and just ignored Chu Mu.

“Is it because of that Little Huangquan?” Chu Mu asked.

Ning Man’er’s special Immortal Qi was lethal to most creatures except humans, and it frustratingly didn’t work on Little Huangquan, which might be the reason for her annoyance.

“No,” answered Ning Man’er.

“Then, what’s making you angry?” Chu Mu said.

“Hmph!” Ning Man’er glared at Chu Mu, pouting her cheeks, looking somewhat cute.

“Are you angry with me?” Chu Mu realized and reached out to pinch her smooth cheek.

“Pervert!” Ning Man’er said.

“…” Chu Mu was speechless at her lingering on that matter.

The Fishman Princess, not wearing any clothes, stood before him, and it was natural to notice certain parts; furthermore, given the Fishman Princess’s stunning beauty and voluptuous figure, anyone else might have been rooted to the spot, but the fact that he managed to converse with her calmly was no small feat.

“Alright, stop fussing over these trivial matters. We have important things to do on White Island,” Chu Mu said as he rubbed her face and spoke.

“Always staring at others and not talking to me, it’s really annoying,” Ning Man’er muttered with a pout, feeling neglected.

“How have I not spoken to you?” Chu Mu was puzzled.

“Then why don’t you look at me when you talk to me, and keep glancing over at the Fishman Princess?” Ning Man’er started to be unrelenting.

What kind of logic was this? Truly, when a woman gets angry, she can find any reason to justify it.

After Ning Man’er got into the water, her clothes were soaked through. Except for certain important parts covered by underwear, she was almost no different from being naked, so how could Chu Mu dare to stare at her?

The Fishman Princess, Ning Man’er, both had excellent figures. Little did they know of the immense willpower Chu Mu had to exercise to communicate with them there.

Of course, the main reason was that Chu Mu had seen Huangquan, which greatly distracted his attention.

Seeing that Chu Mu couldn’t respond, Ning Man’er felt even more displeased and grumbled, “I was actually going to tell Brother something…”

“What is it?” asked Chu Mu.

“Not telling!” Ning Man’er said.

“Alright, as you wish,” Chu Mu said.

Seeing Chu Mu’s indifferent attitude, Ning Man’er couldn’t stand it anymore and yelled at him, “I’m going back to Wanxiang City, and I’ll tell Sister you bullied me!”

“And how have I bullied you?” Chu Mu felt a chill.

“There is!”

Chu Mu was out of options with her; he guessed it must’ve been Little Huangquan that got to her earlier.

When Chu Mu had first picked up Ning Man’er, she often went crazy. Making non-stop disturbances, she would never let Chu Mu cultivate in peace. Many times, Chu Mu would simply ignore her, lift her up over his shoulders, and continue on his way.

After growing up, Ning Man’er became more well-behaved and reserved, but that didn’t mean her wild spirit was gone. Often, you wouldn’t have the slightest idea what was going on in her little head. The more rationally you tried to explain, the more it seemed to play right into her hands, leading to an unending uproar.

At times like this, the best Chu Mu could do was to remain silent.

If he kept silent for long enough, Ning Man’er wouldn’t keep talking to herself.

Sure enough, this strategy was effective. After Chu Mu ignored Ning Man’er for a while, she stopped talking and sulked by herself.

…

From Coral Sea City to White Island was roughly a two to three-day journey. The Sea Race experts led by the Fishman Princess would probably take about four days to arrive.

Chu Mu went ahead first, acting as a sort of vanguard.

As he approached White Island, Chu Mu noticed the originally deep blue ocean had become somewhat turbid, and occasionally he could see some rather large corpses floating on the water.

“Brother?” Finally, Ning Man’er spoke.

Her voice was soft and weak, and she seemed to be treading carefully.

“Yeah,” Chu Mu responded.

“Are you angry?” Ning Man’er asked with a pout.

“Not angry, just thinking about something,” Chu Mu wasn’t angry; he simply didn’t want to bother with those pointless arguments with Ning Man’er.

“Oh, then I’ll tell Brother the thing I wanted to say just now,” Ning Man’er said.

“Go ahead,” Chu Mu said.

“It seems there’s a Heavenly Boundary Monument nearby,” Ning Man’er stated.

“Heavenly Boundary Monument? You’re sure?” Chu Mu was taken aback.

Ning Man’er nodded and explained, “The World Monarch Tree has imprinted the location of the Heavenly Boundary Monuments in my mind. There should be one near White Island in the East Sea, but I’m not sure which one it is.”

In New Moon Land, there were two Heavenly Boundary Monuments; Lin City in the Wupan Continent had one, and Princess Jinrou, who went to the northern part of Struggle Land, encountered another. Considering this one near White Island, Chu Mu had found five Heavenly Boundary Monuments in total and recorded the inscriptions from all of them.

Chu Mu’s memory heritage from the Heavenly Boundary Monument was in the West Domain Heavenly Monument. That monument contained an ancient beast soul that guided Chu Mu to the story of the Ancient Jiao Person and narrated the legend of the Seven Sins Fox, as well as the collapse of a certain dimension…

In short, many fragmented memories that Chu Mu either remembered or forgot…

In the Wanxiang Realm’s Second Heavenly Boundary Monument, it was described that the Ancient Jiao Person’s palace was right below this monument, in the second layer of the continent.

The third monument in Lin City, where Chu Mu read Ning Man’er’s memories, provided little information; it could infer the monument was related to the World Monarch Tree.

The fourth monument that Princess Jinrou encountered in the north of Struggle Land confirmed the legend of the Seven Sins Fox and marked the previous habitats of the seven Sin Foxes. This must be the Heavenly Boundary Monument of the Seven Sins Fox legend.

So, what does this Heavenly Boundary Monument near White Island narrate? (
