Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1592 (Raw 1574): Grave Sea Cluster

Pirate ships have contracts?

Xiao Chen was doubtful. When he actually saw the contract, he realized that it was true.

All pirate ships were made by the Pirate Alliance and had a unique serial number. The Pirate Alliance kept records of all purchases. If one wanted to transfer legal possession of a pirate ship, the person who signed the contract had to take the initiative to hand it over.

Xiao Chen took the contract and looked at it. When he saw the final clause, he read it out softly, “Anyone who formally owns the pirate ship will become a glorious member of my great Pirate Alliance. There is no turning back or withdrawing. Our voyage is far from just the starry sea!”

This last clause was written in an unremarkable font. If one did not pay attention, one would not notice it.

“Wang Suo, what’s going on with this last clause?”

The black-clad man smiled and said, “Big Brother, just call me Xiao Suo. I already said I would take your family name. As for this last clause, only the Pirate Alliance knows how to construct this pirate ship, which is the symbol of pirates. If one has it, there is no need for any proof. When others see it, they will recognize you as an astral pirate.”

Xiao Chen eyed the black-clad man suspiciously. Then, he turned his head to ask the Jiao Snake about it.

The Jiao Snake said with a deep voice, “He is right. However, you have nothing to your name now. There is no problem with joining this Pirate Alliance. It will not hinder you from joining a sect in the future. Anyway, pirates are free-spirited people in the first place.”

A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. “Will I receive the protection of the Pirate Alliance?”

“You are overthinking. Look at that man, turning so subservient. If the Pirate Alliance protected him, he would not become this subservient. However, there are some other benefits. For example, if you come into Profound Tools, secret manuals, or natural treasures with questionable origins, you can quickly dispose of them in the black market controlled by the Pirate Alliance.

“The Pirate Alliance’s black market is also one of the largest black markets in the entire Great Thousand Realms.”

From the looks of this, there was nothing wrong with joining the pirate alliance. Right now, he was nothing.

It was fine to use the identity of a pirate to conceal his actual identity.

“Big Brother, from the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you would make an excellent pirate. You definitely have a great future with the Pirate Alliance. I already took the initiative to remove my name from the contract. Big Brother, just leave your name there.”

The black-clad man thought of how Xiao Chen single-handedly dismantled his ship, seizing all opportunities, so he praised Xiao Chen very sincerely.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen eventually made his choice. He needed to rush to Purple Sun City.

At the same time, he needed a new identity to pull the wool over others’ eyes.

—

The moment Xiao Chen signed the contract, elsewhere in the boundless Starry Heavens, separated by thousands of great realms:

“The child of the most mysterious epoch...the Great Desolate. You finally appeared.”

A mysterious voice echoed in the surroundings of a dark, black divine mountain.

Countless black lotuses bloomed in the sky. Amid the stern and solemn atmosphere, a sinister air developed. Each lotus flower had a vertical eye on it that radiated layers of Buddhist lights.

Closely following that, an enormous sculpture of a Buddha appeared behind the master of the voice. However, this Buddha was completely pitch-black. Shrouded in solemnity and dignity, it looked at the world with cold eyes utterly devoid of warmth.

A black light burst out of the Buddha sculpture.

A Buddhist Might spread into the world. When it peaked, it burned, turning into black flames.

All the vertical eyes gathered into one huge divine eye looking at the surrounding five thousand kilometers of mountains. Then, the eye headed off into the boundless Starry Heavens.

At that moment, all living things in the great realm where that black mountain range was fell silent as if they were plunged in eternal darkness.

—

At the same time, in the astral regions near the Purple Sun Region, the few Cloud Sea Realm powerhouses vaguely noticed something changing in the air.

—

In the black mountain range:

An ancient Buddhist temple stood on every mountain peak with believers prostrated along the mountain paths.

These believers prayed earnestly and sincerely before this mysterious phenomenon, not daring to show any disrespect.

“Orders from the Sect Venerate. Summon the four Protectors and the seventy-two arhats.”

A rumbling Buddhist voice resounded in the cold, dark mountain range. That voice touched the soul of every believer, causing all of them to tremble.

After this voice spoke, the black flame burning in the sky suddenly disappeared, passing in a flash like resplendent fireworks.

Then, the boundless Buddhist Might vanished.

“The black lotus secret imprint and the Thousand Eyes Divine Eye. After getting injured by the head monk of Leiyin Temple one thousand years ago, he has been recuperating. Why did he spend so much effort to execute this Supreme Magic Skill this time?” muttered a handsome bald monk in white robes with Buddhist prayer beads in his hand. He had a gentle look on his face as he sat atop an isolated peak in the black mountain range.

“Whoosh!”

At some point in time, this white-clad monk stood up and suddenly appeared elegantly on the main peak of the black mountain range.

This white-clad monk gave off a peaceful and calm air, looking elegant, scholarly, and tranquil, a stark contrast to the darkness that shrouded the mountain range all year round.

Holding the Buddhist prayer beads in his right hand, the white-clad monk walked to an ancient Buddhist temple at the end of the mountain road, step by step.

The broad road before the doors had black sculptures lining its sides.

Seventy-two cold-eyed arhats in black kasayas hovered in the air, flanking the path.

The white-clad monk knew that these seventy-two black-clad arhats were all Major Primal Core cultivators. Furthermore, they were all well-known figures among the Major Primal Core cultivators. Regular Major Primal Core cultivators were not comparable to them.

Aside from them, there were four Protectors dressed in magnificent clothes, holding Buddhist staffs.

These four Protectors were even stronger, already Cloud Sea cultivators. They were super experts who could cultivate Soul Energy. Even in the core of the Great Thousand Realms, they could be considered experts.

In the Grave Sea Cluster, where the Purple Sun Region was, these Protectors could be considered peak experts. No matter which astral region they went to, they would be overlord-class existences.

“Holy Son Ming Xuan!”

Upon seeing this white-clad monk, the four Protectors bowed slightly and greeted him respectfully.

After the four Protectors finished their greeting, the seventy-two arhats bowed as one.

“All of you, come in.”

A door to a large palace hall opened with a ‘buzz.’ There was a Buddha figure at the top of countless steps at the front of the hall.

A weak-looking old man sat with his eyes closed on a black lotus platform below the Buddha figure.

This was the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master.

This was also the mastermind behind the Kunlun Realm’s Demonic Calamities, someone that Xiao Chen had to kill.

“Greetings, Master.”

“Greetings, Black Lotus Sect Ancestor!”

Everyone respectfully bowed and greeted the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master when they saw him in the dim Buddhist hall.

The lotus platform slowly soared up, and the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master swept his gaze over everyone below. Buddhist light flickered in his eyes. It looked like he could eliminate everyone present with one glare.

“Sect Ancestor, you put in a lot of effort to execute the black lotus secret imprint and summoned all of us here. Is there something important to discuss?”

“Are we going to eliminate a Rank 3 sect and increase the number of believers?”

With so many experts together, they could easily eliminate a large Rank 3 sect.

“I need you all to personally search for a person and bring him back to me,” the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master said slowly, his voice deep and hoarse.

Everyone revealed a strange expression in surprise.

The Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master had summoned all the peak experts of the Black Lotus Church to find one person. Who could this person be?

“The person I’m searching for is the reincarnation of the strongest expert of the Immortal Epoch. He holds unlimited potential. I need this person greatly. The Black Lotus Church also needs this person. You have to find him. Do not get careless!”

The Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master’s eyes sank, striking fear and a scary pressure into everyone’s heart.

“Did you hear that clearly?”

“We heard it clearly.”

Given the serious tone of the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master, no one dared to show a dissatisfied expression.

“Where is this person?”

The Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master remained silent for a long time before saying, “In the Grave Sea Cluster...”

The four Protectors, the Holy Son Ming Xuan, and the group of arhats were all stunned.

The Grave Sea Cluster...this was a startlingly large field. There were hundreds of astral regions, like the Purple Sun Region, in the Grave Sea Cluster. If they had to search through all the astral regions once, it would take them decades, and they still would not finish.

“Look around the astral regions near the Purple Sun Region first. I planted the black lotus mark on this person’s body. Once you get near him, you will definitely sense it.”

The Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master felt somewhat tired. Even after executing a Magic Skill like the Thousand Eyes Divine Eye, he still failed to get a fix on Xiao Chen’s location. All he managed to determine was the general area.

There had to be a treasure covering up the black lotus mark on Xiao Chen’s body.

Left with no choice, the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master could only send out the four Protectors, the seventy-two arhats, and his own prized disciple, splitting them up to search.

After the detailed explanation, these arhats and Protectors understood. With this information, they were certain of the general direction. Furthermore, this person had the black lotus mark, so the difficulty was lowered significantly.

“It’s settled, then. Make your preparations and depart the day after tomorrow. Holy Son Ming Xuan, stay behind. The rest of you may leave.”

After everyone else left, the Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master looked at the Holy Son, Ming Xuan, and said seriously, “You must find it very strange that I’m putting in so much effort to search for one person, right?”

Ming Xuan nodded and replied, “Disciple does not understand, but Master definitely has his reasons for his decision.”

The Black Lotus Church’s Sect Master looked at Ming Xuan, his eyes glowing with anticipation. “I’ll tell you. The Demonic Bone ?arīra of my Black Lotus Church’s founding ancestor is in that person’s body. That person’s previous incarnation used this Demonic Bone ?arīra to successfully reincarnate. Do you understand now?”

The Holy Son Ming Xuan’s expression changed radically. Clearly, these words shocked him.

“Disciple understands. Disciple will definitely bring this person before Master!”
