Godly Stay-Home Dad

Chapter 1021 The End of the Boundless Sea
“Dad.”

Mu Xue was the first to go back to her villa. She said to Sect Leader Mu, “I’m going to the Lost Continent with my master and others for a month. You can either stay here or go back to the sect. Do whichever you want. It’s said that there are many treasures on the Lost Continent. I’ll take as many treasures as I can and bring them back to you.”

“The Lost Continent? Where is it?” Mu Xue’s mother asked.

“It’s not on the Earth. We’re going to travel to space. Haha, this time, I’ll go explore the way first. Next time, I’ll take you with me,” Mu Xue said, grinning.

“What? Space travel? You are leaving Earth?” Mu Xue’s mother was astonished.

Sect Leader Mu had heard a little about this, but he didn’t expect that they would set off so soon.

“You’re leaving in a short while? You’ll come back safely, won’t you?” Sect Leader Mu sounded a little concerned.

“Of course,” Mu Xue replied. “Master, Ma’am, and Mengmeng will all go there. The journey would be very safe. The people who have obtained the clusters of energy before will all participate in this trial. It’ll last for a month. So, we will come back soon.”

“Umm...”

In the neighboring villa.

“All right, it’s all right. What are you crying for?” Zhao Feng patted Liang Mengqi’s back repeatedly and comforted her, “It’s not like we wouldn’t come back. There is bound to be some danger on the Lost Continent, so I can’t take you there this time. Besides, only the people who got the clusters of energy can go on this journey. There are 100 people in total. Oh, no, there should be a few more. Because Ma’am and Mengmeng are not on the list.”

“It would be fine if you were going somewhere on the Earth. But you’re going to space. I-I’m worried that you can’t make it back. What if you can’t find the way home?” Liang Mengqi said, sobbing.

“How can it be?” Zhao Feng smiled wryly. “As long as Boss is with us, no accident can happen. Yue Wuwei will go with us. Didn’t I tell you last time that he often goes to the Sea Dragon Star Area?”

“...”

“Jiaran, I’ll leave our dad to you these few days. Dad, I’m going to the Lost Continent to have a trial, and I’ll be back in a month,” Ah Hu said. The same scene was going on in his villa, too.

“Promise me you’ll come back.” Liu Jiaran had said these words many times.

Fortunately, Liu Qingfeng was here to manage the situation.

“Just put your mind at ease. Maybe we can go there together next time,” Liu Qingfeng said with a smile. “Ah Hu, when you get there, you must live within your means and just do your best.”

“Certainly.”

“...”

Next door—

“Darling, look at those people. They are distressed at parting. Tut-tut, we can go on the trip together. How wonderful it is!” Instructor Liu smiled smugly.

Jiang Yanlan was rather speechless.

She could only roll her eyes at Instructor Liu kittenishly.

Zhang Mu was coolheaded about this. He acted perfectly normal.

Zhang Guangyou and Rong Jiali were also whispering in their room.

Rong Jiali was both relieved and worried about this journey. Her emotions were a bit complex and conflicted.

The others felt the same, too. They all started to pack up their things.

The liveliest place was Zhang Han’s.

“Mummy, do we have to bring so many clothes?”

Looking at the three large suitcases that Zi Yan had laid on the ground and crammed with clothes, Mengmeng was a little taken aback. “Can we put just those in our Space Treasures?”

“Then I wouldn’t be able to have the fun of packing things. Look at the clothes I’ve packed up. I’ve got clothes for four seasons. There are three suitcases. We each have one. I only packed a few clothes for each of us,” Zi Yan said.

“Well, Mummy, you’ve also packed several hats,” Mengmeng looked at the suitcase and said.

“It’s just the beginning of packing. There are still a lot of things I haven’t put in yet.”

Zi Yan stretched out her hand, scratched the tip of Mengmeng’s nose, and then looked at Zhang Han. “Put these away.”

“Swoosh!”

Zhang Han made the suitcases fly into the Space Ring.

“There are two big beds on the second floor. Let’s take them, too.

“Take the gauze curtain as well.

“Take a set of tableware and kitchen utensils, as well as a dining table and chairs. We don’t know if there is a city there, so we take those just in case.

“Bring some water and food, too.

“Put the guitar in as well. There’s no electronic device over there. I can play the guitar for you when we’re on a break.

“We’d better get some fruits and washing supplies. After all, we have to stay there for a month.”

“...”

The family of three ran from the third floor to the first floor, fetching all kinds of daily necessities. They did not look like they were going for a trial but a relaxing trip.

As they packed up a ton of things, two hours passed in a flash.

Then, those going on the journey all gathered in front of the castle. Dozens of people were standing around them to see them off.

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Mu nodded to the crowd and said, “Take care of this place and wait for us to come back.”

After saying goodbye for the last time, Zhang Han activated the Heaven-earth Formation to dissipate the power of the No-fly Zone. The group flew into the air and gradually disappeared out of sight.

It would take them two hours to fly to the Kunlun Mountains from here.

Adding the two hours they used for packing, they would arrive at the time Yue Wuwei requested.

However, just as they had flown for half an hour...

“Frizzle!”

A Light Gate suddenly appeared on the side, and Yue Wuwei came out of it.

“Elder Yue.”

Zi Yan waved at him.

“Are you guys ready?” Yue Wuwei glanced at them.

“Yes, we’re.”

“I tipped you off so many days in advance, so you must be well prepared. Those who just got the news in the Kunlun Immortal World were almost dumbfounded,” Yue Wuwei said beamingly.

“Is there anyone we’re familiar with coming?” Zhang Guangyou asked.

“Yes.”

Yue Wuwei answered, “Some are the secular disciples who went to the Kunlun Immortal World last time, such as Yan Chen, Ye Longyuan, Su Beimu, Shi Fenghou, Wang Xiaowu, Ding Jiuming, and Deep Flame...”

“Who? Xiaowu is going too? Did he get the Source Energy?” Zhang Guangyou was stunned.

“Yes,” Yue Wuwei said casually. “Even the wise are not always free from error. He is the one error in my wise plan. The Source Energy he got was actually someone else’s. But he was in luck. At that time, I was distracted for a second and let it be intercepted by him. His aptitude is just ordinary. After being hit by the energy, he didn’t wake up until four hours ago. He hasn’t even realized that he is already at Elixir Realm Last-Stage...”

“Beep...”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Guangyou’s cell phone rang.

“Hello? Xiaowu, go to the Kunlun Mountain Range first. Let’s talk when we meet.”

Zhang Guangyou grinned from ear to ear after learning that Wang Xiaowu had also seized the opportunity.

Sometimes, luck was also very unfathomable.

“Ding Jiuming has also got it?” Mu Xue raised her eyebrows slightly. “Why didn’t he tell my father? Did he just wake up, too?”

“He woke up five days ago.”

Yue Wuwei calmly replied, “People’s reactions to the change are different. After their power is enhanced, some people’s mentality and the way they see things changed. But it’s hard to predict a man’s thoughts. Maybe he wants to give you a surprise.”

Indeed, people’s thoughts were hard to predict. Yue Wuwei did not think highly of Ding Jiuming regarding his character. He was very dull, and his mood was never shown on his face. He was not the kind of person Yue Wuwei liked.

“Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you.”

Yue Wuwei stroked his beard and said, “This time is the ninth trial for the selection of the Heavenly Lord of the Saint Warrior Planet. In the first eight times, 100 people participated in every trial as well. But the people in Kunlun Immortal World and the other places know nothing about the trials. Because as long as none of the contestants in the trial gets the martial arts heritage of the Heavenly Lord, no contestants can come back. This is a rule.”

“Hiss!”

The faces of Zhao Feng, Ah Hu, and many others changed in an instant.

“We can’t come back?” Mengmeng was dazed. She muttered with confusion, “So I don’t have to go to school, do I?”

“Haha,” Yue Wuwei laughed before continuing. “But you are exceptions to that rule. Since Zi Yan is here, you’re not subject to the rule. I’ll bring every one of you guys back. But to be honest, if anyone of you dies in the trial, I can’t bring him or her back. The Lost Continent is not under my control. Therefore, some people, such as Wang Xiaowu, shall just stay in the peripheral area.”

“Phew...”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Of course, if no one becomes the Heavenly Lord, I won’t bring anyone else except you guys back. I think I’ve made this issue clear,” Yue Wuwei looked at Zi Yan and said.

He said that mainly for Zi Yan’s benefit. As for other people, he didn’t care much about them, not even Zhang Han.

“Okay, I see.” Zi Yan nodded slightly.

“What about those who stayed there? Have they died or...” Mu Xue asked.

“They just stay in the Sea Dragon Star Area. Those people may have lived a better life than before. I’ve run into at least two of them, both of whom have made achievements in some forces. They’re doing quite well. Yet, they can never find the way back to the Saint Warrior Planet,” Yue Wuwei replied.

“Grandpa Yue, what vehicle would we ride to go to that place?” Mengmeng blinked, her big bright eyes full of curiosity.

“We’ll go there by boat.”

Yue Wuwei looked at Mengmeng with a smile on his face. “It’s just an ordinary boat.”

“An ordinary boat can sail away from Earth? That’s amazing,” Mengmeng muttered.

“In this boundless universe, there is no lack of strange things. You’ll know more about it in the future.”

They talked while flying. When they arrived at the Kunlun Mountain Range, the rest of the participants were basically all there.

Glancing around, they found that there were men and women of all ages.

“Brother Mu.”

Seeing them arrive, Deep Flame immediately came over to chat.

“Young Master, what’s happened to me?” Wang Xiaowu asked with a stunned look. “I seem to have advanced to a higher realm.”

“Eldest Lady!”

At the sight of Mu Xue, Ding Jiuming was a little surprised. He marched over and asked, “Are you on this trip as well?”

In the crowd, in addition to the people of Hua nation, there were also some cultivators from other countries. One of them was a one-eyed man holding a cane who was emanating a mysterious aura. At a glance, one could tell that he was proficient in incantations.

There were also a few young disciples of the Black White Palace. The one in the lead was Wu Ming.

“Zhang Hanyang, it’s been a while. Hahaha, this time we’ve prepared some good wine. When we get there, we can have a few drinks.”

“Oh, good.” Zhang Han smiled.

“Older Martial Brother Wu Ming, is he Zhang Hanyang? He looks just ordinary,” a male disciple in his early 20s beside him said with the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. With your little strength, you can’t take more than three moves from him.” Wu Ming warned him with the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique as well.

Ye Longyuan, Shi Fenghou, Yan Chen, and others were kind of dumbstruck.

“Sh*t, why have so many of them come here? Have they all obtained the energy? Are they all at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage?”

“Moon Empress is here, too?”

“Wow, she is Moon Empress? She’s gorgeous!”

“...”

The two parties sized each other up. As the people on Zhang Han’s side way outnumbered the other party, everyone felt a little awkward.

“The Lost Continent is a continent located in the Sea Dragon Star Area. There is no exact goal in this trial, so everything is unknown to us.”

.

Yue Wuwei floated into the air and said in a clear voice, “The so-called trial is an opportunity for you to get many treasures or martial arts heritages. What I can tell you is that there are heritages of supernatural powers, cultivation methods, as well as something even more heaven-defying. I also want to tell you that there are powerful strange beasts on the Lost Continent. Don’t ever mess with those beasts... Because you can’t afford to.

“As for my name, it’s Yue Wuwei.

“I’m the guardian of this planet, the ferryman.

“Now, get on board.”

Yue Wuwei waved his right hand.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

Suddenly, a ten-meter-long, canoe-shaped boat materialized in front of them. The crowd looked at one another and got on the boat in succession. After they were aboard, they were surprised to see that there was invisible and stable energy around the boat.

“The trial on the Lost Continent begins!”

A green light flashed across Yue Wuwei’s eyes.

With a stir of his mind, a huge gap appeared in the void in front of the boat.

Everyone could even see that the world inside the gap seemed to be a vast sea.

“The sea?”

The boat floated forward, passed through the gap, and arrived in the sea world. The sea stretched as far as the eye could see.

“The wind on the Endless Beach is about to calm down. After spreading the sails and withdrawing the anchor, the boat feels so light.

“The boat sails fast even without me feathering the oars.

“The water glistens in the breeze. I feel like the mountains on the banks are coming to meet me.

“Upon a closer look, it’s not the mountains but the boat that is moving.”

Yue Wuwei pulled on the oar with his right hand.

The boat moved forward rapidly.

When everyone saw the scene around them, their countenance changed.

“What?”

“Is this the Boundless Sea?”

“We directly appeared in the Boundless Sea. And we’re still headed straight for its depths!”

“Is the Boundless Sea connected to... an unknown world?”

To Ye Longyuan, Shi Fenghou, Yan Chen, and the others, the view in front of them was a huge blow to their world outlook. But Zhang Han and his people were not much surprised.

“Daddy, is this the Boundless Sea?”

Everyone had been absolute quiet, and Yue Wuwei’s whisper rang around the boat.

Suddenly, Mengmeng tugged at Zhang Han’s hand and posed that question in a low voice.

“Yes.” Zhang Han nodded. “This is the Boundless Sea. People can easily get lost here.”

“Are we traveling across this sea?”

Mengmeng looked left and right before asking, “Daddy, didn’t you say that there were many powerful spirit beasts in the Boundless Sea?”

“That’s the case in the Northernmost Sea.” Zhang Han corrected with a smile. “There are many large spirit beasts in the Northernmost Sea.”

“Well, then why don’t we make our way through the Northernmost Sea?” Mengmeng said.

It was clear that the little girl wanted to see the spirit beasts in the water.

“The Northernmost Sea does have many spirit beasts, and there are even some strange beasts there.”

Yue Wuwei, who was standing at the bow of the ship, instantly appeared in front of Mengmeng. Looking at the sea on both sides, he smiled and said, “But the area of the Northernmost Sea is less than one percent of the Boundless Sea. There are also many spirit beasts in the Boundless Sea, but most of them are at a low level. If they appear, they are also overlords in the sea. Look, under our boat, there is a shoal of Clear Fish. Their number is huge. There are perhaps hundreds of thousands of them.”

“Splash!”

White waves suddenly surged on both sides of the boat. Upon closer inspection, the waves were countless palm-sized fish.

“Each of them is almost at the Qi strength Level. But in the Boundless Sea, they are only at the bottom of the food chain.”

“Look at this Wood Spirit Tortoise. It is big, isn’t it?”

While speaking, a huge turtle about 15 meters long appeared on the surface of the sea. Its shell was dark green. When it appeared on the surface of the sea and was shone by the sunlight, its color gradually turned blue, as if it had merged with the seawater.

“What a big turtle!” Mengmeng widened her eyes and said in a surprised tone.

It made the people around feel a little giddy.

“You called it a turtle? It’s obviously a kind of Black Tortoise.”

“It looks big, but it seems very small in the Boundless Sea. Look, here is a Lion-bearded Jellyfish. It’s more than 30 meters long.”

On the side of the Wood Spirit Tortoise, a huge jellyfish slowly appeared. It had at least four colors. It was gorgeous and colorful. It looked beautiful but gave people a sense of danger.

“It’s at least in the Heaven Realm.”

Yan Chen’s eyes narrowed.

“What a big jellyfish! Is it poisonous?” Mengmeng scrutinized the jellyfish.

“Yes. Do you see its tentacles? If you’re below the Elixir Realm and you’re accidentally injured by it, your nerves will go numb in a few seconds, and you’ll become its meal in less than a minute.”

“Ah!” Mengmeng tucked her chin in fear.

“Look, this jellyfish is very big, isn’t it? But in the Boundless Sea, it is not big enough.” Yue Wuwei touched his beard and said, “This is a Huge Demonic Fish. Its wings are like bats’, which are 70 meters wide when spread out. It weighs 20 tons. This Huge Demonic Fish is hunting. Its prey is the surrounding small fish.”

“Flop!”

A huge black shadow appeared from the bottom of the sea. When it appeared on the surface of the sea, people saw its huge head, which gave them an oppressing sensation.

“Holy cow, it’s in the Elixir Realm?”

Ye Longyuan took a few glances at it. His face was slightly stiff.

They had run into a spirit beast in the Elixir Realm so soon. It seemed that the Boundless Sea would not only cause people to lose their bearing. If one stayed here for a while, one would probably not be able to fend off the underwater spirit beasts for long. And the overlords of the sea had yet appeared. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

“It looks very big, but it’s not huge among the creatures in the Boundless Sea. There’s a Tiger Whale here. It’s 120 meters long.”

As Yue Wuwei spoke, a huge whale appeared hundreds of meters away on the left. This Tiger Whale was quite different from the whales in the secular world. Its head was like a tiger’s head, and its body was densely covered with scales. At a glance, one could tell that it was an overlord in the sea.

“Coincidentally, there’s also a Blood-sucking Flood Dragon here that’s nearly 200 meters long.”

Yue Wuwei used his power again, and an aggressive-looking red flood dragon emerged in the air over the sea 100 meters away on the right.

Its huge body instantly overshadowed the Tiger Whale. Compared to the Blood-sucking Flood Dragon, the boat they were sitting on was just the size of a palm.

“Wow, it’s so big, but it’s not as handsome as Dahei.” Mengmeng was stunned at first. But for all things considered, she preferred the mountainous pressure Dahei released after it transformed into a huge gorilla. She thought that the Blood-sucking Flood Dragon did not look as imposing as Dahei.

After mumbling that, Mengmeng turned round and looked at her schoolbag. Dahei and Tiny Tot were still sleeping in it.

“Flop, flop...”

Yue Wuwei dispersed the summoning energy, and the various creatures fell back into the sea.

“If I’m not mistaken...”

Yan Chen looked at Ye Longyuan beside him and said in a dry voice, “That Blood-sucking Flood Dragon we just saw should be a Grand Master, right?”

“Judging by that sense of oppression, it must be...” Ye Longyuan replied in a muffled voice.

Having just reached the Elixir Realm Last-Stage, Ye Longyuan was over the moon. His arrogance was ready to puff up again. But when he saw the Blood-sucking Flood Dragon, he distinctly felt frightened.

Many people were taken aback when they saw Yue Wuwei go to chat with Mengmeng. They also looked at Zi Yan up and down several times.

The title “Moon Empress” was not only known in the East Domain. In fact, the entire Kunlun Immortal World knew that when Moon Empress made her debut, she could already suppress Grand Masters in the Yuan Ying Realm. In that battle, she killed three Grand Masters by herself. This was the first time in thousands of years that somebody had created such a combat record in the Kunlun Immortal World.
