I want to embrace the moon for nine days

The South China Sea, near the Zhongqi Islands, has been shrouded in clouds and fog recently.

The sea was filled with layers of light and shadows, with mountains, water, ships, palaces, people, monsters, gods, Buddhas and saints.

The grass and trees sway, people walk, everything seems to be right in front of you. Only when the wind blows hard and all the scenes float together, can people realize that this is a mirage-like illusion.

And below the sea surface, such illusions are stacked layer upon layer, appearing to be more stable and covering a larger area.

This is the ancestral home of the South China Sea Whale King clan.

Thousands of years ago, there was a huge undersea earthquake, the geomagnetic currents in the South China Sea dispersed, and the aura of the underworld surged up, creating many more spirit caves. At that time, a group of humpback whales lived near the Zhongqi Islands, and they were nourished by the spirit caves and transformed into monsters.

Because they are born with abundant energy and blood and their bodies are huge, most humpback whales do not follow the path of Pure Land Immortals after transforming into demons. Instead, they focus on practicing the way of Land Immortals and have amazing combat power.

When in the sea, a humpback whale in the second realm can often defeat a third realm whale from other races, and a humpback whale in the third realm is enough to fight for a few rounds with a fourth realm immortal from other races.

Therefore, although the humpback whales in the Zhongqi Islands do not reproduce quickly and their total number is small, they are quite famous in the ocean.

Moreover, all the monsters in this clan are docile in temperament, and like to travel in groups of three or two. They fight for justice in the sea, protect the young of sea lions, walruses, etc., have many friends, and like to resolve geological disasters in the sea, so they have a very good reputation.

It is said that the Zhongqi Islands were originally just nameless deserted islands. It was because of the presence of this tribe that they were praised by the sirens as "strange guests in the sea, chivalrous spirits envied by the heroes."

Then it got the name Zhongqi.

After the Our Lady Palace and the South China Sea monsters completely broke off relations and showed their fangs, many monster tribes that did not have immortal-level masters in charge had their ancestral spirit caves taken away, and some entire tribes were wiped out and the people were filled with spirit caves.

There were also some who managed to escape and those who lived near the Zhongqi Islands came to seek refuge, taking shelter in the islands with their young and old.

Looking at the South China Sea today, when it comes to the forces that confront the Notre Dame Palace, this place is already one of the few major strongholds.

"The total number of various monsters that have come to our archipelago has exceeded 150,000."

On an island in the southern part of the archipelago, two men in wide, sky-blue robes were conversing.

Although these two men were in human form, they were over three meters tall and looked 70% similar, both with square faces, broad cheeks and thick beards, but one had white hair at the temples and the other looked younger.

They were the tribal king brothers of the Zhongqi Islands, Hai Wuya and Hai Gufeng.

The younger Hai Gufeng was filled with righteous indignation and said excitedly, "The Holy Mother Palace is so cruel that it wants to destroy the ancestral temples of all the tribes in the South China Sea and cut off the wisdom of future generations. It is simply unscrupulous."

"Fortunately, the human race intervened and prevented the leaders of our tribes from being wiped out by her. Now that everyone has seen through her true face, their strength is growing stronger and stronger, and they are determined to fight the Notre Dame Palace to the end!"

Hai Wuya was worried, stroking his beard as he looked outside the archipelago at the illusionary defense line that he had painstakingly built over many days, his expression becoming more and more bitter.

"A tall tree attracts the wind. The more refugees and helpers we gather here, the more likely we will be targeted by the Holy Mother Wu Ling herself."

Hai Wuya sighed, "The only time when all the tribes in the South China Sea really had a chance to unite was during the battle at Zengmu Shoal."

"Originally, if the four great swordsmen of the human race joined forces to launch a sneak attack, they might have a chance to rival the Holy Mother of Wuling. If we join forces again, it might not be impossible for us to destroy the Holy Mother Palace."

"It's hateful. The Holy Mother Palace has been in operation for a hundred years, but there are actually those who have no fathers or mothers and have betrayed their ancestors, willing to surrender and become slaves. They secretly acted and ruined the good situation. The leaders of all tribes just want to escape back to their own ancestral lands."

"But when we escaped back, the evil bandits followed us and held us back, spreading out the battlefield. There was no chance for the main forces of our tribes to join forces from all directions."

Those from various ethnic groups that have gathered here now are just remnants of the defeated army.

Therefore, a total of 150,000 monsters could only be besieged by the enemy's 300 sons of the sky gods and 30,000 elite soldiers, relying on the ancestral land of the islands for support.

"It's really not a solution to drag it on like this."

Hai Gufeng said, "If we take the treasures of our tribe with us, I wonder if it will be possible to go ashore and seek reinforcements..."

Hai Wuya shook his head: "I have thought about this a long time ago, but the four great disciples of Emei arrived that day, the elders of Wudang also showed up, and later Bai Yizi was seriously injured and fled, but the elders of the human race did not show up."

"Do you think those seniors don't want to take action, or they can't take action?"

Hai Gufeng had many guesses for a moment, and then shook his head.

No matter what the reason is, since no action has been taken, we can't count on it.

When he thought about it, he felt even heavier in his heart: "Brother..."

If elder brother can also break through the fire and cultivate to the highest level in the world, then what is there to fear?
However, the strange whale monsters among them gained many advantages due to their kind and gentle nature. But when it came to the flood, they were also hindered by their nature and it became even more difficult for them to concentrate on their martial arts.

Even Hai Wuya, it was during the battle of Zengmu Shoal that he felt the crisis of genocide was imminent and thus made a decisive move to overcome the flood.

It has only been a few months, and the possibility of putting out another fire is very slim.

hold head high! ! ! !

Suddenly, on the outskirts of the archipelago, in the vast fantasy, a desolate horn sounded, followed by the roar of war drums.

This heralds the beginning of another day of offensive and defensive battle.

I saw a large number of demon soldiers from the south, carrying dark clouds, rushing into the illusion, waving magic weapons on the water and underwater, breaking through layers of illusion.

Thousands of humpback whales manifested their original forms inside the illusion, plunged into the sea, wandered endlessly, and uttered long whale songs.

They swallowed up large amounts of sea water and spewed out rainbow-like mirage gas, which continuously filled the illusion.

The Zhongqi Whale Demon Clan all practice the path of land-walking immortals, and because there are not many members in the clan, there is no clear class distinction. As long as you start practicing, you will practice the clan's skills, "The Long Song of Geomancy of the Four Seas".

Survey the four seas, subdue the demons, sing a long song, and the ocean echoes.

Therefore, the mirage they created was not a mental illusion formed by relying on telekinesis, but rather using Changge's true qi to mobilize the water element between heaven and earth to form a half-real and half-virtual scene.

Every scene in the illusion echoes with the force of water flow in the nearby sea.

As long as the demon army coming from the south breaks through a layer of illusion, their formation will be unknowingly diverted by the force of the water flow and appear a lot looser.

After breaking through several layers of illusions, some monsters began to become dizzy and turned around to swim back.

Although the army as a whole can still be suppressed, at this time, a whale will inevitably swim into the illusion and open its mouth wide.

Countless hateful glances, like candle flames, lit up in the depths of the dark mouth.

boom! ! ! !

Suddenly, thousands of magical weapons spewed out from the whale's mouth, blasting through the enemy's formation and defenses, and driving them back.

It turned out that the fleeing sirens were all hiding in the stomachs of these humpback whales in batches, ready to strike.

The swallowing and exhaling force of the giant whale demon merged with the back and forth power of these magical weapons, forming a rhythm that the enemy army could not interrupt.

When those tens of thousands of magical instruments were sprayed out, whether it was above water or underwater, whether it was the illusion or the sea water, they were all cut into pieces like white jade snowflakes.

These giant whales themselves are no match for the immortals.

If the monsters hidden in the giant whale's belly were taken out individually, they could be killed with just one finger from a powerful immortal.

However, in such a huge war, the Giant Whale Clan's tactics, each attack gathered the power of sea water, ocean currents and thousands of monsters, and was concealed with the help of illusions.

It is almost as good as a full-strength attack from a powerful immortal.

The army of demons and evil spirits had no time to stop the humpback whales swimming freely in the illusion, let alone stop such a surprise attack.

However, at this time, some fluorescent spots lit up in the void, forming the outline of a dragon-like and human-like demon god. It stretched out its arms and directly blocked the bombardment of the magic weapon.

The power of the magic weapon, impacting the outlines of these demon gods, was like rushing into an unknown void, and it was difficult to cause any casualties.

Thousands of giant whales, carrying the power of thousands of demons, swam back and forth, but were dispersed and blocked by the outlines of three hundred demon gods.

However, the mighty ocean currents will still push the evil army back when their formation becomes loose, trapping them in a new illusion.

The demons roared and screamed one after another.

The humpback whale's song suddenly became more intense, as if it was cursing something.

Although they didn't speak human language when they were running the illusion, and outsiders couldn't understand their whale songs, but they could hear... that the curses were very dirty!
Since the war began, the Zhongqi Whale Demon Clan has been repeating this kind of thing almost every day on the battlefield.

No matter how good-tempered they are, they can't help cursing on the battlefield.

But if the monsters from other places saw such a scene, they would probably cry with envy.

That was the Son of the Sky God. Three hundred Sons of the Sky God were actually restrained in this way.

When the Zhongqi Whale Demon was fighting around its own ancestral land, its spirituality was endless, and its songs were ever-changing. It was able to use the strength of its entire clan to fight against three hundred Void Gods.

As expected of a race known as the Whale King. But at this moment, dozens of huge figures suddenly appeared in the dense illusion, riding the wind and waves as if entering an uninhabited area.

Their body shapes are very similar to those of the strange whale monster, but they appear to be more light and ethereal.

On the huge whale's head, there is an official hat made of white paper. Compared with the size of the whale, it looks pitifully small and ridiculous.

However, many members of the Zhongqi Whale Monster's tribe could not help but let out angry roars when they saw this scene, and some of the whale monsters even had fear in their eyes.

Because those whales wearing official hats were originally their tribesmen, and some elders with very good cultivation.

During the continuous wars, these elders were attacked by the enemy commander.

With each stab and pull, all the essence, blood and vitality were sucked out, and it became an empty shell, folded like paper, and fell into the hands of the commander.

Unexpectedly, today these elders have regained their energy and come back, and the aura they exude is not much different from when they were alive.

When Hai Wuya saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed and veins on the back of his hand bulged.

Hai Gufeng roared: "Peng Hai!!"

Beyond the illusion, at the end of the mirage.

There was a mandarin whale floating on the sea, and on the back of the whale stood a well-maintained old man with white hair and a youthful face.

Over the years, the Palace of Our Lady has been operating in the South China Sea, gradually encroaching on its territory and recruiting many masters among the sea sirens. A total of more than 20 sea sirens have joined the Palace of Our Lady.

However, the most famous and powerful ones among them are still the four great demon fairies, "Qi Gu Qiu Wei", who followed the Holy Mother Wu Ling and came to the South China Sea from the land.

Those who eat air are divine and long-lived, those who eat ancient things are stubborn and unchangeable, those who eat hills can swallow mountains with their big mouths, and those who eat minute things are obscure and dark.

The demon fairy Peng Hai is the most powerful among the four elders and ranks first.

His nickname "the Eater of Air" comes from the magic technique he practiced, which is to steal air from paper figurines.

This was originally a method used by the evil sects of the human race on land, and is still prevalent in the two Hunan regions.

If there is a paper-making craftsman who has practiced this kind of technique, the paper dolls will be delivered to the door. During a funeral, the body will be kept for seven days while the deceased weeps. The paper dolls will be infected by the human spirit and will become more and more like a living person.

The dead person in the coffin will also show some unusual movements such as joint twitching and hair growing. After seven days, if the aura accumulated by the paper man is deep enough, it will cover the dead person and eat his own blood relatives.

Finally, the corpse will be completely melted by the high concentration of essence and blood, and the paper figure will completely turn into a monster, and will also become an evil magic weapon for the paper-folding craftsman.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were wars among various countries, and more and more people in the two Xiang areas practiced this kind of magic, to the point that it evolved into a custom.

When the old man's body is lying in wait, there are always young and strong people in the tribe who hold large green bamboo poles with both ends coated with rooster blood and wait. When seven days are up, they will take the initiative to attack the paper figures, tear them into pieces and burn them.

At this time, let the young and strong men in the tribe sit around the fire basin and inhale the smoke of the paper man. They will become smarter and have more opportunities to embark on the path of cultivation.

Peng Hai practiced in the Liangxiang area for a hundred years, collecting all the magic and rituals evolved from the paper-making trade, and cultivated immortal arts. He no longer made paper figures, but only official hats.

The paper-made official hat can absorb all kinds of thoughts and spirits, such as fame, wealth, superiority, returning home in glory, bullying the people, benefiting the people, respecting officials, fearing the government, and all kinds of thoughts and spirits, regardless of good or evil.

Compared with the original paper figurine secret technique, which could only absorb the mental power of the elder being worshipped, it is much more advanced than what ordinary people can imagine.

In several countries such as the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, most of the people in the country had often witnessed officials' hats flying into the sky during the day. Whenever an official hat flew into the sky, someone in the local area would become stupid.

This incident caused great panic among the people. Even in Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, rumors were spreading. The imperial guards were on high alert, and some even stopped sleeping, sitting with swords in their hands and patrolling everywhere.

Later, the Song Dynasty conquered the Northern Han Dynasty and returned to the capital. In addition, the Holy Mother Wu Ling was defeated and cursed. Peng Hai followed the Holy Mother to the South China Sea, and this major "hat monster" case disappeared.

After the battle of Zengmu Shoal, Peng Hai was not directly responsible for targeting the Zhongqi Islands, but was responsible for hunting down the eldest disciple of Emei. After losing them, he wiped out several tribes. It was heard that several evil commanders here were killed and the army was defeated.

He then led three hundred sons of the sky gods here to reorganize the troops and take on the role of commander. He quickly reversed the situation from a defeat to an encirclement.

Hai Gufeng roared, leaped up from the island, crashed into the sea, and its body expanded rapidly, finally turning into a humpback whale that was a hundred feet long.

Such a huge body, every inch of it is made of muscles and bones that have been tempered through thousands of trials.

The moment it entered the sea, the powerful vitality energy dyed almost the entire sea surface within ten miles into sky blue, forming a sharp contrast with the blue sea and white mist illusion outside.

The azure sea surface moved forward, and in just a few breaths, it had arrived in front of Peng Hai.

During this period, ten sons of the sky gods launched an attack on Haigu Peak.

But the Changge illusion on his body was changing light and color. Although it could not capture Kongshenzi, it was enough to cause a certain impact. Then, relying on the solid foundation, he withstood Kongshenzi's attack and repelled it.

The extremely brutal momentum and the pressure like moving mountains on the sea.

Although he is only at the Land-Walking Immortal Realm, relying on the endowments of his race and fighting on his ancestral land, he will not be inferior to an opponent at the Flood Realm in the slightest.

The official-hat whale under Peng Hai's feet began to lose air and shrink just by facing this pressure, and it was half the size in the blink of an eye.

When Hai Gufeng rushed in front of him, the entire official hat whale was not as big as his closed lips.

Peng Hai just smiled, stretched out his white palm, and poked and pulled in the air.

The surging water energy around Hai Gufeng all leaked towards the small hole in the air.

For a moment he couldn't tell whether his skills were really affected or it was an illusion, but he had already noticed that his forward momentum was rapidly declining.

If he rushed over with such force, Peng Hai would be able to pierce his body's protective qi and extract his blood with a backhand in an instant.

But at this moment, Hai Wuya's figure also appeared nearby, towering over Hai Gu Peak, but still maintaining his human form. His palm, as big as a palm fan, scooped up the air and covered it.

The small holes in the air were picked up and grasped by him, like the eye of a storm floating in the sea, directly controlled by him and fighting back against its master.

The combined attack of the Whale King brothers was once an impeccable tactic in the South China Sea.

Peng Hai's expression also changed, revealing a perverted admiration for good material.

"What a strong and sturdy man! He is so rare in the world!"

Although Peng Hai was known as a demon fairy in the sea, on land, his notoriety was so great that it could not be washed away even by pouring three rivers. He was even called the old devil who chased souls for thousands of miles.

Now that the true nature of this look is revealed, even the most well-mannered person can't help but feel uneasy and then angry.

Hai Wuya was not angered, his obsession with martial arts was "to cover the islands with overwhelming force and to defend the territory without losing it", which added an even heavier burden to his kind nature, making him extremely stable.

Therefore, he was able to capture that hint of something strange in such a scene.

Boom! ! !
Hai Wuya's big hand suddenly changed direction and collided with a green fist. Both of them shook and appeared.

An extremely heavy force pushed back, and Hai Wuya's skin and muscles rose and fell violently like waves. The skin on his palms was cracked and bleeding.

Behind him, the azure sea was roaring with huge waves as big as mountains, with strong barriers and steep cliffs.

The opponent was a woman with cloud-like hair, high hairpins and a emerald green body. After the collision, she only took two steps back in the air, without any abnormality.

The "conservative and unchangeable" fairy Huaiyu.

This fairy lady should be attacking another sea monster position. Her arrival at this moment may mean that the situation on the sea may change again.

Hai Wuya's mood sank, and a suppressed groan of pain came from under his feet.

It turned out that when Hai Wuya attacked Fairy Huaiyu just now, Hai Gufeng spat out a dragon crystal bead that he had cultivated for many years to fight against Peng Hai.

White shadows fluttered around Peng Hai, and with a single clap of his hands, countless layers of paper were scraped past, leaving a crack on the orb.

"Big guy, you guys are doomed."

Fairy Huaiyu always looked hungry and sick. She said lazily, "Why not surrender with courtesy? With your status and strength, you will be able to hold a title of nobility in the Holy Mother Palace in the future."

Hai Wuya looked distressed, and in a flash he was overwhelmed with thoughts. Finally, he smiled in relief: "Can the thousand-year reputation of our humpback whales and the Zhongqi lineage be destroyed in my hands?"

There is a strange man in the sea, and his chivalrous spirit is envied by all the heroes! !

In the whale song, they silently recited the reputation of those ten words, silently recited the singing and chivalrous deeds of generations, the whole clan laughed regretfully and heartily, which no outsiders could understand, sprayed away the monsters in their stomachs, and rushed out with a bang.

Hai Wuya clenched his fists, determined to die, and was about to vibrate the ancestral spiritual cave, so that the ancestors could also take a last look at the descendants who had not lost their integrity.

At this moment, a sharp light flew across the distant sky. The energy from this side could be felt from afar. It suddenly turned and flashed through, coming at an extremely fast speed and hitting the fairy Huaiyu.
