nThe only daughter of a Celestial Emperor had become a transexual. They did not know what to think. Lan Hua, realizing that this transexual had designs on him, felt on the verge of a breakdown. Especially after being the object of Ying Zhi’s adoring gaze for four hours.

nLan Yu seemed delighted to see Lan Hua’s suffering. He had a ‘You finally got what you deserved’ expression on his face.

nSince entering the Heavenly Gate, Lan Hua had not let go of Radish. Wearing a guarded expression, he followed closely behind Shen Ying, as if afraid of being violated.

n“Emperor Xin Han?” said Ying Zhi. After they had told Ying Zhi the purpose of their visit, she finally pulled herself together and shifted her attention to them. “You’re saying he has dealings with the fiend tribe?”

n“Hmph! A real-life fiend is sitting here now. There are other fiends in the immortal realm, what’s so surprising about that?” Lan Yu snorted. His eyes shot daggers at Lan Hua.

nLan Hua’s mouth twitched but he refrained from retorting.

n“This is not the only reason we came here.” Chen Ge frowned and explained worriedly, “Since he’s able to plant a demonic seed in me, he can do the same to the other celestial emperors. He definitely has some other plan up his sleeve.” Besides, there could be people above him involved in this too.

n“Then why are you here?” Ying Zhi asked.

n“We heard that unusual phenomena was sighted in Cloud Sea.” Lonemoon stepped up to explain. “When Xin Han escaped, he used a sorcery technique that generated large amounts of demonic Qi, which could trigger unusual phenomena. So we came here to investigate.”

nYing Zhi and Lan Yu fell silent. Both wore a strange expression.

n“Then you have wasted your time.” Lan Yu replied coldly. “Cloud Sea’s strange phenomena was not caused by demonic Qi.”

n“It’s not?”

n“No.” Ying Zhi could not help stealing a glance at Lan Hua as she said this. Lan Hua shuddered and shrank behind his friends. Ying Zhi retracted her gaze in disappointment and continued, “Cloud Sea’s phenomenon is due to… The cloud beast in the sea throwing his temper.”

n“What?” What the devil! He tore a hole in the clouds just to vent his anger? The Lan ancestors would turn in their graves if they knew how childish their descendants were.

n“What kind of animal is this Cloud Beast?” asked Lonemoon.

n“The Cloud Beast is the avatar of the Cloud Sea.” Ying Zhi explained. “As all of you have seen, We in Cloud Sea and the other continents are different, our sea is suspended at the edge of the sky. The reason it’s like this is because of the presence of the Cloud Beast. Once every million years, the Cloud Sea will develop spirit wisdom and become a Cloud Beast. The Cloud Beast controls all the living creatures in the sea. Even the Marine immortals in the Cloud Sea depend on it to survive.”

nEveryone nodded their heads. “But the phenomenon…” How do you explain the hole?

nYing Zhi expression stiffened and even Lan Yu turned his head away. After a moment, Ying Zhi said, “In the past, all Cloud Beasts born in the sea would all sign a contract with the Cloud Sea Emperor. It’s like a contract beast of the Celestial Emperor. But… when I ascended the throne, the cloud beast had not been born yet. So the Cloud Beast now is still a child, only five thousand years-old.”

nHe gave a sigh, then as if recalling something, he shook his head and continued, “In the past, Cloud Beasts hardly left the Cloud Sea. After all, they are in fact one body. Although they have avatars, once they leave, the Cloud Sea would dry up and shrink by half. But this particular cloud beast is still a child.”

n“It wants to leave Cloud Sea?” Lonemoon asked. They had sure raised a wilful child!

n“It’s not only this…” Ying Zhi’s expression became even more unreadable. “I asked Emperor Lan Yu over because of this matter. But…” He turned to look at Lan Yu. The latter was frowning as if not sure of how to broach the subject. After a while, Ying Zhi gritted his teeth and stood up. “Please follow me to take a look and you’ll understand.”

nEveryone looked baffled. But they had come to investigate the strange phenomenon. Although Emperor Ying Zhi had said that it had nothing to do with the Fiend Tribe, it was better to see with their own eyes. So they got up and followed him.

nWith Ying Zhi in the lead, they flew eastwards. Below them lay a stretch of blue sea, through which they could faintly see the silhouettes of forests and mountains.

nAfter ten minutes, they arrived at their destination. Lonemoon looked around him and confirmed that it was the spot where the strange phenomenon was reported. Previously, when they were below the Cloud Sea, they could only see a huge waterfall, but now that they were above it, they saw a huge eddy. On top of it glowed a golden array that reached down to the sea bed. It seemed to be some sort of protective wall.

nA few immortals were guarding the place. In contrast to those guards at the Heavenly Gate, these were all males. All of them were exalted immortals and above, and a few were even young emperors and immortal emperors. All of them seemed to be talking frantically to someone in the eddy below.

nAs they drew closer to the eddy, a huge wave suddenly rose up. It formed into the shape of a fish tail and flapped itself down towards the group of immortals. A few of them did not manage to escape in time and were knocked into the water.

n“Fellow Immortals, you see what’s happening.” Ying Zhi said. “The Cloud Beast insists on leaving and even tore a hole in the cloud sea, causing the strange phenomenon. Thanks to Emperor Lan Hua, who put up the arrays, we were able to stop him. But these arrays can’t hold up for long…” He looked at Lan Hua again and asked hopefully, “Ah Hua, you are an expert at sorcery, can you…”

n“I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Lan Hua stepped back immediately. This Cloud Beast and Cloud Sea were obviously of one body. Even if he patched up this hole, it would just tear another hole elsewhere.

n“Why does the Cloud Beast insist on getting out?” Chen Ge asked. By right, these avatars are highly territorial and won’t easily budge.”

n“Because…”

nYing Zhi was about to explain when they heard a child-like voice rise up from the bottom of the sea.

n“You ugly things! Let me out! I want to find the pretty sisters!”

nYing Zhi: “…”

nLan Yu: “…”

nEveryone from the Invincible Sect froze. This voice… Instantly, all eyes locked on a certain radish.

n“Why are you looking at me for?” A certain plant that was sitting on Lan Hua’s shoulder looked startled. However, when Shen Ying turned to look at it, its eyes brightened. Passing her a dandelion flower which it had plucked from its head, it said, “Little Missy, for you!”

nYi Qing: “…”

nLonemoon: “…”

nLan Hua: “…”

nChen Ge: “…”

nDo all your avatars behave like this?

n“Get lost!”

n“…” The radish’s heart broke into little pieces
