Chapter 448: I’ve been imprisoned for 500 years

"Doudou, are you using Young Master Phoenix Slayer's account?" Fairy Lychee hurriedly replied. "The water-proof formation is a mere Second Stage rank formation. How is it possible that Young Master Phoenix Slayer isn't capable of fixing it?"
At this time, Doudou was still anxiously barking next to True Monarch Yellow Mountain. He was still in shock, where would he get the time to go online?
Hence, True Monarch Yellow Mountain replied, "It's not Doudou."
Fairy Lychee asked out of curiosity, "It's not Doudou? Then, what is happening?"
"At this time, it's my turn to step forward," Island Master Tian Tiankong said in a low voice. "There is only one truth… Young Master Phoenix Slayer got possessed by someone? Speak, possessor, who are you?"
Young Master Phoenix Slayer replied, "Seniors, please don't joke around, I'm sinking... if I continue sinking, I'll reach the seabed. Please help me deal with the water issue first, we can talk about the rest later!"
Fairy Firefly replied, "Alright, it's nothing too troublesome. Fixing the 'water-proof formation' would do the trick."
Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, "But I don't know how to fix the water-proof formation!"
"It's time for Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman to make an appearance. As the genius in the talisman department, Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman is rather knowledgeable when it comes to formations too." Fairy Firefly smiled.
"You flatter me, Fairy Firefly… in that case, Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer, let me give you a simple explaination about the 'water-proof formation'. I happen to have a simplified version of the water-proof formation here. I can guarantee that it'll take only three seconds to fix 😁," Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, "I beseech you to instruct me."
"Firstly, you want to draw the fundamental framework of the water-proof formation. The simplified version I have is a simple circular formation—using spiritual energy as ink, draw a circle. Next, draw a simple eight-trigram on the inside." As Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman spoke, he sent a few simple pictures.
The pictures looked simple, it was just a round circle with an eight-trigram.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer's heart leapt, the formation was indeed very simple. "What's next?"
"Thereafter, you will have to channel sufficient power into the formation and this simplified water-proof formation would be completed. The water-proof formation will be effective until the spiritual energy you poured inside is completely exhausted. Come, let me send you a picture of the water-proof formation when it's completed." As Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman spoke, he sent another picture of the completed water-proof formation.
When he received the picture, Song Shuhang almost went blind.
The completed design was very beautiful.
A perfect circle with an exquisite picture of an eight-trigram inside, and right in the middle of the image, the characters 'water' and 'proof' were imprinted on it.
However, the completed design was very different from the draft that Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman sent earlier.
When comparing the two of them, it was kind of like comparing the words 'beautiful woman' and a picture of a beautiful woman.
Song Shuhang was immediately angry. "That's cheating! Senior Seven Lives Talisman, did you omit a lot of steps in the middle?"
How did the rough sketch immediately become such a beautiful 'water-proof formation' in just one step?
"Those steps are the ones that can be overlooked, you don't have to care about these details!" Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman calmly replied.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, "In that case, let me test it out?"
"I guarantee you it'll work. Remember to channel a lot of spiritual energy into the formation, I don't want to see you suddenly sinking into the water when I watch the live broadcast," said Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, "Ok!"
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang did not speak any further. He struggled to adjust the spiritual energy within his body and directly engraved the formation on the pedal of the hand-guided tractor.
It didn't matter where he engraved it… as long as the water-proof formation was effective, it was all good.
According to Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman's instructions, he had to first draw the formation before channeling large amounts of spiritual energy directly until the formation was filled with it.
It should start working about now, right? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
However, the water-proof formation did not work, and the hand-guided tractor continued to sink.
"It's a joke, I knew it wasn't that simple and would definitely go wrong!" said Song Shuhang while clenching his teeth. He was about to interrogate Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
As he was in the midst of his thoughts…
"Bam~"
Song Shuhang felt as though the hand-guided tractor knocked into something.
Because it was very obvious that there was still quite a distance before he hit the bottom of the sea.
After it knocked into something, the hand-guided tractor rebounded upon impact, and under the reverse applied force, it quickly floated.
Five seconds later.
"Bubble~" The hand-guided tractor number 44 came out of the water, similar to the magnificent sight of a submarine resurfacing.
Such a simple water-proof formation actually worked?
❄️❄️❄️
Within the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Island Master Tian Tiankong said, "Hahaha, that stupid Phoenix Slayer finally came out of the water."
"Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman's water-proof formation is awesome," praised Fairy Lychee.
"Hahahaha, it's a must. It's my only way of making a living. However, after this, Young Master Phoenix Slayer has to pick up the pace. After all, this water-proof formation is very simple—it's continuously consuming the spiritual energy stored within it. Once the energy is fully consumed, he would sink once again," said Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
"No problem, we'll enjoy watching him sink again. It's very amusing," said Island Master Tian Tiankong.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer was speechless.
I'm still online, alright?
❄️❄️❄️
Above the layer of clouds, Venerable Spirit Butterfly glanced at Young Master Phoenix Slayer's hand-guided tractor. The corners of his mouth rose. "Hehe, interesting. He actually bumped into the hidden easter egg. I even thought that no one would bump into this easter egg during the competition. Young Master Phoenix Slayer's luck is pretty good, huh."
After all, the second half of the race track required participants to race on the surface of the water, and the easter egg was hiding in ambush underneath the water. The chance of people finding it was not that great.
Venerable White who was in the midst of competing also grinned.
Both he and Venerable Spirit Butterfly had discovered the easter egg by accident. Next, they carefully moved it below the race track.
If nobody bumped into the easter egg, Venerable White wanted to let it out after the competition ended and allow all participants to revel in happiness.
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang controlled Young Master Phoenix Slayer's tractor and started to catch up with the participants in front once again.
But at this time… an enormous creature awakened beneath the surface of the sea.
It slowly opened its eye. The enormous eye of the creature had blood traces in the middle. It seemed as though something knocked into it hard.
"Dammit, who knocked into my eye? It's so goddam painful." The enormous creature slowly started moving.
It was a cuttlefish-looking creature with enormous eyes that resembled that of a goldfish. Each eye was as big as two hand-guided tractors put together.
It had hundreds of strong tentacles and four human-like arms.
After the enormous cuttlefish monster awakened, the hundreds of tentacles spread open, interweaving to form a cobweb of mental energy. They spread to the whole seafloor, trying to locate the bastard that bumped into its eye.
Very soon… it located Young Master Phoenix Slayer's hand-guided tractor that was speeding along the surface of the water.
"Bastard, I found you." The hundreds of tentacles of the enormous cuttlefish monster shook violently, and its extremely agile body charged towards the surface of the sea.
It wanted to overtake that bastard and stop him before swallowing him whole!
❄️❄️❄️
The enormous body, coupled with the extremely fast swimming speed, ensured that the enormous cuttlefish monster quickly got in front of the hand-guided tractor number 44.
Thereafter, it used all its strength to come out of the water.
The hundreds of tentacles were like whips cracking in the air, and each of its stocky arms was holding an enormous hammer.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The cuttlefish monster let out an angry bellow. Its eyes were fixed on Young Master Phoenix Slayer, who was far away.
"I was imprisoned for a whole 500 years, and I managed to break out of the seal with much difficulty… and now, you actually dare to intrude into my territory. You—are—practically—seeking—death."
As the cuttlefish monster was reciting its lines, a hand-guided tractor heartlessly rode over it.
It was True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon!
After getting to the second half of the competition, he took the lead and got way ahead of the others.
When True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon was in the water, he was the epitome of 'rowing a boat without oars' or 'sailing without depending on the wind'… all he needed were the waves!
Soft Feather had previously depended on the 'lucky trap' to temporarily get to the first place. But it took True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon only a couple of seconds to overtake her again!
The four bulky wheels mercilessly ran over the cuttlefish monster's head, leaving two thick trails on its face.
The waves continued surging, and True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon continued advancing forward!
❄️❄️❄️
The cuttlefish monster bellowed, "Cruel and despicable fellow, you actually dare to mount a sneak attack… aaargh~"
After True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, True Monarch Fallout, Soft Feather, and Cave Lord Snow Wolf ran over the cuttlefish monster almost at the same time, closely following in True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon's wake.
The cuttlefish monster fell to the ground after being run over multiple times. "So painful! All you rude fellows, I am going to kill every single one of you!"
"Move!" At this time, a cold voice was heard.
The cuttlefish monster blinked its eyes and noticed that not too far away, there was a sea of hand-guided tractors charging over in its direction.
Right in front of the pack was a man with black wavy hair, driving a golden tractor.
"Dammit, all of you are courting death!" the cuttlefish monster bellowed. Afterward, tens of its tentacles and the hammers in its hands headed for the man with black wavy hair all together.
"Stupid monster, get out of the way! You are blocking the road!" Dharma King Creation said out of anger. At the same time, the golden Buddha statue appeared once again in the open container of his tractor, standing up.
The huge golden fist headed towards the cuttlefish monster.
"Bang!"
The golden fist and the cuttlefish monster's hammer collided!
In the following second, the cuttlefish monster was sent flying—it was not an easy feat to receive a blow from the Super Saiyan Monk, Dharma King Creation!
Thereafter, Dharma King Creation's golden tractor mercilessly rolled over its body.
"Aaah~" cried out the cuttlefish monster.
"Whizz, whizz, whizz…"
After Dharma King Creation, more than ten tractors continuously ran over the cuttlefish monster from different directions.
"Aaaah~" the cuttlefish monster cried out continuously.
With much difficulty, after the wave of tractors had passed, the cuttlefish monster got up once again.
It took a broad view and saw that not too far away, another wave of hand-guided tractors was dashing toward itself at high speed. And that fellow that injured its eye was the last one of the group.
None amongst them seemed to be paying any attention to it.
