Chapter 1494: The Fifth Heaven Boundary Monumen

Chu Mu and the mermaid princess returned to Coral City. The mermaid princess seemed to know Chu Mu wasn’t used to the creatures in the ocean so she brought Chu Mu to Coral Island.

A few Ocean species members lived on the island. Chu Mu was actually curious how the mermaid princess, with a part fish body, would walk on land.

Just as Chu Mu thought she was going to transform her fish body into a pair of legs, the mermaid princess controlled the water around her and moved on land this way, crushing Chu Mu’s imagination.

The moment they arrived on Coral Bay, Chu Mu saw an Ocean Iguana Demon riding on a Flying Cloud Mother in the air.

The Ocean Iguana Demon gave a bow, and then spoke in Ocean species language.

The mermaid princess’s face grew slightly angry!

“What’s the matter?” asked Chu Mu.

“The Calamity Ocean Demons have invaded our White Island.” said the mermaid princess, “White Island is an important island in Eastern Ocean. The White Coral there is food four our Ocean species’ children.”

The mermaid princess didn’t give a very detailed explanation. It was possible to see that she was very worried.

Old Li, just then, added an explanation:

“Ocean species members that have recently been born are very weak. They will easily suffer from the impact of intense seaquake. These things don’t happen on land. However, the impact of these quakes will cause 50 percent of Ocean species babies to perish before reaching the tenth stage.”

“The White Corals are given to Ocean species children to eat. They make their bones and organs more resistant. As long as they’re protected properly, the survival rate of the children will greatly increased. Because the children are very weak, their bodies find it difficult to withstand the energy of most spirit items. Thus, the special spirit items that can actually be used on Ocean species children to strengthen their bodies are especially important. Indeed, Ocean species creatures don’t have soul remembrances like you humans and therefore cannot extract energy from within the spirit item.”

Old Li seemed to understand the Ocean species very well. After listening to him, Chu Mu understood how important White Island was.

The Calamity Ocean Demons evidently wanted to control Eternal Ocean Eastern Ocean’s newborn offspring. Once the life or death of the newborn children were within their grasps, the Ocean species that were originally able to protect their young would easily acknowledge allegiance to the evil Ocean Demons.

“I’m very sorry. The Calamity Ocean Demons are attacking our species members again. Although I am not a fighting Ocean species, as Eastern Ocean’s princess, I must provide some aide in this war.” the mermaid princess politely said to Chu Mu.

“If it’s on an island, I can probably help you in this fight,” said Chu Mu.

The mermaid princess hesitated a while. She felt that letting a guest participating in her species’ internal fight wasn’t appropriate and politely said: “It’s best if we deal with it ourselves.”

“It’s no worries. Didn’t you just say yourself that we are neighbors? We should be helping each other.” said Chu Mu.

“Then I will say thank you first!” the mermaid princess appreciatively glanced at Chu Mu.

In reality, the Ocean species currently lacked experts. Since the ocean region had several important areas that needed experts to defend, the moment one was broken through, it was a huge blow to Eastern Ocean.

The mermaid princess initially wanted to send someone to bring Chu Mu to White Island. But after carefully thinking about it, her father was probably too busy. It would be best if she could deal with the White Island matter herself and lessen the responsibilities for Eastern Ocean’s king.

“Let’s go together.” said the mermaid princess.

“Ok.” Chu Mu nodded his head.

The mermaid princess understood the human language and spoke it very fluently. If she sent another creature from the Ocean species to bring him, Chu Mu would feel strange since he wouldn’t be able to communicate. Indeed, the way of thinking between the Ocean species and humans would definitely have some discrepancies.

It wasn’t that Chu Mu had never interacted with soul pets before. For example, in Southern Forbidden Region, Chu Mu came and went like he was in his own home. However, strictly speaking, the Nightmare species could be considered the same family as Chu Mu,so there was no issues in communicating.

……

The mermaid princess needed to intercept an Ocean species guard team heading together to White Island so Chu MU and Ning Maner went first to White Island to examine the situation.

As they flew through the air, Chu Mu held the navigation pearl the mermaid princess had given him, allowing them to fly straight to White Island.

It was a certain way from Coral Ocean City to White Island since the ocean was far more vast than human territory.

“What’s the matter? You’re not saying anything?” Chu Mu glanced at the adjacent Ning Maner, puzzled.

Ning Maner herself didn’t know why she was sulking, and ignored Chu Mu.

“Was it the Yellow Springs?” asked Chu Mu.

Ning Maner’s special immortal energy was very effective on creatures outside of humans. However, she was rejected by the Yellow Springs. Thus, she was probably angry about this.

“No,” said Ning Maner.

“Then why are you angry,” said Chu Mu.

“Hmph!” Ning Maner glared at Chu Mu as her cheeks puffed. She looked rather cute.

“Are you angry at me?” Chu Mu reacted, and stretched out his hand to pinch her smooth cheeks.

“Pervert!” said Ning Maner.

“...” this girl was still caught up over that matter. Chu Mu was speechless.

The mermaid princess hadn’t worn clothes when she stood in front of him. Even a normal person would pay attention to a certain area. Moreover, the mermaid princess was peerlessly beautiful and had an amazing figure. Anyone else would have been stunned a long time ago. Thus, the fact he was able to calmly chat with her was not an easy task.

“Fine, don’t get caught up in these senseless things. We have important things to do at White Island.” Chu Mu rubbed her cheeks as he spoke.

“You’re always staring at others and never speaking with me. How detestable.” Ning Maner pouted her small mouth as if she had been given the cold shoulder.

“How have I not spoken with you?” Chu Mu was bewildered.

“Then why weren’t you looking at me when you spoke with me. Your eyes kept wandering towards the mermaid princess.” Ning Maner wasn’t going to listen to his excuses.

What kind of logic was this? Indeed, when a woman was angry, they could find any justification.

When Ning Maner had gone underwater, her clothes had been soaked through. Besides the important parts that were covered by her underwear, the other parts were essentially laid bare. Why would Chu Mu dare stare at her?

Both the mermaid princess and Ning Maner had extremely incredible figures. Nobody realized how much focus Chu Mu had to have in order to communicate with them just now.

Of course, the main reason for this was when Chu Mu saw the Yellow Springs, it took up a large amount of his focus.

Ning Maner saw that Chu Mu wasn’t responding and felt even unhappier inside. She muttered: “I was initially planning on telling big brother something…”

“What were you planning on telling me?” asked Chu Mu.

“I’m not saying!” said Ning Maner.

“Fine, suit yourself,” said Chu Mu.

Seeing Chu Mu’s indifferent attitude, Ning Maner couldn’t bear it even more. She yelled at Chu Mu: “I’m going to return to Wanxiang City and tell big sister that you bullied me!”

“When did I bully you?” Chu Mu felt a wave of vicious cold.

“You did!”

Chu Mu couldn’t do anything about her. This girl had probably been affected by the small Yellow Springs just now.

When he first met Ning Maner, she often went crazy and would never stop causing trouble. She never let Chu Mu peacefully cultivate and often times CHu Mu would just ignore her, pick her up and place her on his shoulders as he continued on his path.

After growing up, Ning Maner became much more clever and reserved. However, this didn’t mean her crazy temper had disappeared. Often, it was impossible to know what she was thinking in that small head of hers. The more logic one used to explain to her, the more one got on her nerves. It would be an argument without end.

Thus, Chu Mu decided not to say anything.

If he didn’t speak for a while, Ning Maner couldn’t just keep talking to herself.

Indeed, this method was very useful. After Chu Mu just treated Ning Maner like she didn’t exist, Ning Maner stopped talking and just sulked there alone.

……

The journey from Coral Ocean City to White Island was about two to three days. The Ocean species expert team the mermaid princess was bringing needed four days before they arrived.

Chu Mu went first as the vanguard.

When they were almost at White Island, Chu Mu discovered that the initially deep blue ocean had become slightly turbid. Occasionally it was possible to see large corpses floating in the water.

“Big brother?” finally, Ning Maner spoke.

Her voice was soft and weak. It also seemed cautious.

“Mhm?” Chu Mu responded.

“Are you mad?” Ning Maner pouted as she asked.

“No, I’m thinking about something.” Chu Mu wasn’t angry. He just couldn’t be bothered to argue with Ning Maner about useless topics.

“Oh, then I’ll tell big brother what I was going to say.” said Ning Maner.

“Go ahead,” said Chu Mu.

“There’s a Heaven Boundary Monument nearby,” said Ning Maner

“Heaven Boundary Monument, are you sure?” Chu Mu was stunned.

Ning Maner nodded her head and said: “The Messiah Tree imprinted the locations of all the Heaven Boundary Monuments in my head. There should be a Heaven Boundary Monument nearby Eastern Ocean White Island. However, I’m not sure which Heaven Boundary Monument it is.

New Moon Land had two Heaven Boundary Monuments, Wupan Continent’s Lin City had a Heaven Boundary Monument and the northern end of Zhengming Continent that Princess Jinrou had gone to had a Heaven Boundary Monument. So adding on White Island’s Heaven Boundary Monument, Chu Mu would have found a total of five Heaven Boundary Monuments and recorded the words written on the five monuments.

The memories Chu Mu inherited from the Heaven Boundary Monument were from Western Kingdom’s Heaven Boundary Monument. Inside that Heaven Boundary Monument was an ancient beast soul and it had guided Chu Mu on the Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s story, narrated the Seven Sins Fox’s legend and the collapse of a dimension…

But they were all fragments of memories, some of which Chu Mu would remember and some of which he would forget.

In Wanxiang City’s second Heaven Boundary Monument, it recounted the story of the Ancient Flood Dragon person and told that the Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s palace was in the second layer of earth under this Heaven Boundary Monument.

In Lin City’s third Heaven Boundary Monument, Chu Mu had read Ning Maner’s memories. He hadn’t obtained much information, but was able to connect this Heaven Boundary Monument to the Messiah Tree.

Princess Jinrou had encountered the fourth Heaven Boundary Monument in Zhengming Continent’s northern end. It had confirmed the Seven Sins Fox’s legend and marked out the past habitat of the Seven Sins Foxes. That was probably the Seven Sins Fox Legend’s Heaven Boundary Monument.
