Chapter 63: The Sea of Yashan
Yai Mountain Sea? S-level dungeon.... Zhang Yuanqing cursed "Damn it" in his heart, but he wasn't too surprised, even a little fortunate. After all, in a one-out-of-three situation, the probability of entering the Ascension Secret Realm was only one-third.
And the Yai Mountain Sea at least had some information. The other dungeon was a complete mystery, so compared to that, entering the Yai Mountain Sea was actually a fortunate misfortune.
He quickly sat up, pulled out the phone from under his pillow, opened the chat software, and sent a voice message to Fu Qingyang:
"Boss, my dungeon is Spirit Realm No. 012, Yai Mountain Sea, S-level."
He didn't call, but chose to send a voice message, because Zhang Yuanqing knew that Qian Gongzi didn't have the habit of keeping his phone by his pillow or bedside.
Fu Qingyang, who claimed to be of noble origin, had the common problem of wealthy young men, being particular about everything. A phone, to him, was just a communication device, and a device should stay in its designated place.
On the table, or on his assistant.
Zhang Yuanqing was worried that Fu Qingyang wouldn't answer the phone in time, and he only had one minute.
After sending the voice message, Zhang Yuanqing tossed the phone aside, flipped out of bed, put on his shoes, strode to the table, put one hand on Blood Rose's shoulder, grabbed the leftovers from dinner, and stuffed them into his mouth, regardless of everything.
Past experience had taught him that dungeons were short on food and water, so it was always good to supplement with some food before entering.
After wolfing down a few mouthfuls, the scenery in front of him suddenly blurred, appearing wavy.
"Ding Dong!"
The air conditioner was blowing cold air. In the dark and cool master bedroom, the phone on the bedside table emitted a loud notification sound, and the screen lit up, illuminating the sculpted, handsome face on the pillow.
Fu Qingyang opened his eyes, grabbed the phone, and checked the message.
Because of Yuanshi's fast dungeon entry, he had been keeping his phone close by these days.
After quickly scanning the message content, Fu Qingyang's face darkened.
He suddenly sat up, didn't put on slippers, stepped on the soft carpet barefoot, and strode to the outer hall.
He went to the desk by the bay window, sat down, turned on his laptop, logged into the official database, and searched – 012 Yai Mountain Sea.
"It really is this dungeon."
Fu Qingyang's eyebrows furrowed. When he saw Yai Mountain Sea, he felt like he had some impression. The Jianghuai branch and the Xie family seemed to have issued a reward related to the dungeon.
If he remembered correctly, it was the S-level dungeon that had cost the official side and spirit realm families six Saints, and which had not been cleared to this day.
The reason it hadn't been cleared was partly because the difficulty was too high, and partly because it appeared too infrequently.
There were many experts in the official side and spirit realm families who might be able to conquer Yai Mountain Sea, like Fu Qingyang himself.
But they might not have the opportunity to enter this dungeon.
"His performance in the Transcendent realm dungeon was too outstanding, so it was expected that he would enter an S-level dungeon, but I didn't expect it to be Yai Mountain Sea. Yuanshi is probably in danger..."
While Fu Qingyang was worried, he also felt that Yuanshi was simply favored by Lady Luck. As soon as he was demoted, the spirit realm turned around and gave him a great achievement.
Clearing an S-level dungeon, plus the Xie family and Jianghuai branch's reward, as long as he succeeded, it would be difficult for him not to turn the tables.
His vision began to stabilize, and the scenery became clearer and clearer. Before he could see the scenery, Zhang Yuanqing first smelled the salty sea breeze, then saw the clear night sky.
He was standing on a pebble-strewn beach, the sky above him filled with densely packed stars, the distance pitch black, and in front of him was the sea, with the sound of waves coming from the darkness and a cool night breeze.
Zhang Yuanqing looked around. Behind him was an open field, and in the distance were vaguely visible mountains. Beside him were his teammates for this dungeon.
The team consisted of six people:
A cold and beautiful woman wearing military pants, a military green vest, and a pair of black military boots.
A young girl wearing a silver crown, a silver ring around her neck, a blue right-lapel top, and a silver apron on her chest and abdomen.
A young man wearing shorts and a t-shirt, slippers, plain looks, and a height of 1.7 meters.
A handsome young man wearing red high-top sneakers, black capri pants, a Dragon Ball print t-shirt, and silver earrings.
A woman wearing a complex black dress, with her black hair like a waterfall, half her face covered with a black grid veil, her eyes like clear water, hiding melancholy.
Beside her were two Yin corpses, one male and one female.
A woman with dyed blonde hair, a round face with ordinary features, and a slightly plump figure. She was wearing black sweatpants and a white t-shirt with the flag of the Free Federation printed on it.
Eh, Summer Tree Love is here too? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into her. This girl looks like she's from a minority, quite pretty... Holy crap, Yin Ji?!
As his eyes swept over them, Zhang Yuanqing almost cried out.
Isn't she a level 6 Saint? Why am I matched with Yin Ji?
Damn it, I'm not ready to meet the Demon Lord's "widow" yet... Zhang Yuanqing instinctively reached out and patted the King of Cats speaker in his waist bag.
From now on, please keep quiet.
The Demon Lord's woman was the person Zhang Yuanqing least wanted to contact, because he had received too much of the Demon Lord's legacy. Many things, the Demon Lord's enemies didn't know, but the Demon Lord's women definitely knew.
For example, the disguise ring, the King of Cats speaker, even the teleportation jade talisman and the Endurance spray. Well, the Demon Lord's women shouldn't have the chance to see the last one on him.
In short, if he exposed any of these, he would arouse suspicion.
Among the above items, the King of Cats speaker was the most uncontrollable. You couldn't predict when it would start playing some random song to 'cheer you up.'
The Demon Lord's women must be very familiar with this cheap style.
While he was sizing up his five companions, the others were also scrutinizing their teammates.
Especially Yin Ji, who, as a fellow Star Official, immediately noticed Zhang Yuanqing, and a look of surprise flashed in her melancholy, water-filled eyes.
The young man in shorts, t-shirt, and slippers raised his hand, and with a "whoosh," a pillar of fire soared into the sky, bringing flickering light.
"Damn it, I entered the dungeon in the middle of the night. I was stewing soup in the middle of the night to drink when I woke up tomorrow morning, but now there's no hope. Damn it..." He cursed as he looked around at everyone and said:
"Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Hongjige, the leader of the Soup-Brewing Province Deer Head Gang, level 4 Fire Demon. Just call me Hongji."
After speaking, he urged:
"Everyone introduce themselves, get to know each other."
The first to respond was the silver-crowned minority girl, who said in a sweet voice: "My name is Wu Yunmeng, just call me Yunmeng. I'm from Guilin Province, Qinghe tribe, and I'm an official Walker of the Qinghe branch, level 4 Beastmaster."
She was extremely beautiful, with fair skin, bright and clear eyes, and a face without makeup that radiated a pure and simple aura far removed from extravagance.
Next was the handsome young man with silver earrings, who raised his chin, his face full of arrogance:
"Xiahou Aotian, level 5 Alchemist. Hearing my name, you should know which family I belong to."
People from the Xiahou family? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, then frowned secretly.
He had a grudge against the Xiahou family.
"Freedom Eagle!" The slightly plump woman wearing the Free Federation flag t-shirt said in fluent foreign language: "I am from the Federal Empire, level 4 Plague God, a second-level silver executive of the Heavenly Punishment Organization."
When she spoke of the Federal Empire and the Heavenly Punishment Organization, her tone was full of pride, and her gaze swept over the six of them with a slightly condescending air.
"Damn it~" Hongjige picked his ear and said, "Can you not speak foreign language? I don't understand!"
Freedom Eagle snorted disdainfully.
"She said she's a second-level silver executive of the Heavenly Punishment Organization from the Federal Empire, level 4 Plague God." The cold and beautiful female instructor translated and introduced herself:
"Summer Tree Love, Hangzhou branch executive of Jiangnan Province, level 4 Swordsman."
She turned to look at Zhang Yuanqing and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect our second meeting to be in a dungeon, Yuanshi Tianzun!"
Yuanshi Tianzun?
Immediately, everyone except Yin Ji looked over.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere..." The Qinghe tribe girl tilted her head and pondered.
"The recent genius from the Five Elements Alliance, the one who broke the score record for the Transcendent realm slaughter dungeon, Yuanshi Tianzun?" Freedom Eagle looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.
"Hello, big boss, hello, big boss!" Hongjige's eyes lit up, and he ran to Zhang Yuanqing in a few steps, grabbed his hand: "I've admired you for a long time. Come to Soup-Brewing Province to play someday, and I'll treat you to soup."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, then pulled his hand back. He didn't say much to Hongjige, because at this time, Xiahou Aotian was striding over with an unfriendly expression.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, right." Xiahou Aotian raised his chin and said:
"Xiahou Chi is my uncle, my grandfather's younger brother, Xiahou Tianwen is my cousin."
"So what? Before the mission starts, should we have a life-or-death battle?" Zhang Yuanqing said expressionlessly.
"Yo, you're quite aggressive. Your mentality isn't great and righteous enough. Even if you're a genius, you can't be the protagonist." Xiahou Aotian chuckled and said in an arrogant tone: "Xiahou Chi's lineage is perverse and cruel, doing all kinds of bad things, not great and righteous enough, so they were killed in Songhai. But I, Xiahou Aotian, act with integrity and have extraordinary talent. I am a natural protagonist!"
The people on the side looked at Xiahou Aotian with either confusion or surprise. It seemed hard to believe that such childish and narcissistic words could come from the mouth of a Saint.
This left Zhang Yuanqing speechless.
"Xiahou Aotian, chuunibyou, arrogant, extremely rebellious and immature, always fantasizing about being the male protagonist of a shonen manga. The only thing worth praising is that his character is still decent." Summer Tree Love said.
Seeing Xiahou Aotian glare at her, she smiled and said: "This is the Five Elements Alliance's evaluation of you. Don't glare at me, I'm just repeating the commentary."
Oh, a chuunibyou Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood. With chuunibyou and anime, it's not surprising that he would say such things.
What a pity for that handsome face. It would be perfect if he were a fat otaku.
At this moment, Yin Ji, who was still standing in the distance and hadn't approached the others, said in a gentle voice:
"Don't waste time, let's discuss the dungeon. What are your main missions?"
In the slightly salty and humid night breeze, Yin Ji in her black dress was like an elf of the night, her dress fluttering, quiet and beautiful.
"Executive Yin Ji, my main mission is to survive for 36 hours," Summer Tree Love said.
Zhang Yuanqing and the others nodded slightly.
Xiahou Aotian snorted: "As expected of a weakling, my mission is to eliminate the reviving monsters."
Obviously, this was a two-carry-five dungeon. Because the level difference was huge, the main missions were different. Level 4 Walkers didn't need to confront head-on.
"My main mission is the same as Xiahou Aotian's." Yin Ji's voice was gentle and pleasant, like a kind older sister next door, and she said:
"Your level 4 missions are relatively simple, you don't need to fight head-on. But the difficulty of an S-level dungeon is extremely high. Even surviving for 36 hours will be a disaster for you. Before the mission starts, let's discuss the dungeon clearly. This can increase your survival rate."
Yin Ji continued:
"There is no strategy for Yai Mountain Sea. The only record is that the official side and spirit realm families lost six Saints in this dungeon, which can be said to have hurt their bones."
"Their items were also left in the dungeon. For this reason, the official side and the Xie family have issued a reward."
She immediately told them the contents of the reward, which made everyone's eyes light up.
Especially the Chinese-American Freedom Eagle and Hongjige, who felt that treasures were beckoning to them.
Summer Tree Love pondered:
"The items left in the dungeon may not still be here. There is a high possibility that they have been recovered by the spirit realm."
Currently, according to the phenomena observed by various organizations, some items left in the dungeon will become part of the dungeon, making the dungeon more difficult.
And some items left in the dungeon will be recovered by the spirit realm and distributed to the corresponding professional dungeons.
What kind of items will be recovered, and what kind of items will become part of the dungeon? There is currently no core pattern summarized for this phenomenon.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing said in a confident tone:
"Those items are still here and have become part of the dungeon."
Everyone immediately looked at him. Freedom Eagle asked in English, "How do you know?"
Zhang Yuanqing ignored her.
Yin Ji said softly, "How do you know?"

Also, I forgot to include the introduction to the Spirit Realm in the previous chapter. I'm making up for it in this chapter.
