Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 415 - 286: Six-Star Task

The extraterrestrial demonic spiritual power had barely escaped from the apartment before Sun Yan caught up with it.

Under the shroud of mana, he directly imprisoned the extraterrestrial demonic spiritual power that had escaped from the white man’s body in place.

Bang!

With Sun Yan’s exertion, he shattered the extraterrestrial demonic spiritual power on the spot.

"To be able to remotely influence the brains of ordinary humans with spiritual power, the means of these extraterrestrial demons are not simple."

Sun Yan retreated into the Earth Shrine, starting to survey the nearby area of the neighborhood using the shrine’s abilities.

He found several other humans whose brains were likewise affected by the extraterrestrial demonic spiritual power.

These people’s jobs all belonged to the arts, either painting or creating.

Under the infection of the spiritual power, the works they temporarily created were filled with extreme artistry.

Once Sun Yan expelled the extraterrestrial demonic spiritual power from their bodies, these people’s spirits became instantly lethargic.

"This extraterrestrial demonic spiritual source is too remote, I can’t precisely locate where it’s hiding."

Sun Yan pondered heavily.

It’s not a good thing for an extraterrestrial demon to revive on this world. If not eliminated in advance, it could possibly cause serious threats.

After his mind returned to his body, he discovered a new task had appeared on his notebook.

——

Special Task[Seal of the Underwater Grotto Heaven]

Task Difficulty: ★★★★★★

Task Description: All around the world, ancient creatures that once existed in this world are sealed. Their power is immense and extremely dangerous. If given a chance, it’s best to eliminate them completely. The seal under the ocean is now stirring, and all Tomb Guardians have the chance to eradicate these ancient existences.

Task Requirement: Find the lost ancient city, eliminate the sealed longevity ancient species

Task Reward: Celestial Court Realm Fragment (1~10)

——

"A Six-Star Task!" Sun Yan looked at the new task on his notebook, his expression involuntarily shocked.

All this time, it was his first encounter with a Six-Star Task.

Moreover, the task’s requirement was to deal with the longevity species that still exist on Earth.

The absolute nemesis of humanity.

Back then, the Immortal Gods paid a huge price to drive these longevity species out of this world.

This resulted in the world entering an era without Immortal Gods, and many people considered Immortals nothing more than mythological figures conjured up by early humans.

Only Tomb Guardians like Sun Yan could learn about past events through piecemeal clues.

Now, a sealed longevity species is stirring, and as a Tomb Guardian, Sun Yan naturally couldn’t sit idly by.

Especially since this task’s reward was something quite unprecedented for Sun Yan.

"A lost ancient city, under the ocean, how is one supposed to find it?" Sun Yan scrutinized the notebook with great puzzlement.

The Earth is so vast, with oceans covering 70% of its area, pinpointing an underwater city is incredibly difficult.

Even Sun Yan felt it was beyond his ability.

"Looks like I’ll have to return to the Grand Sacrificial Society for help from other Tomb Guardians, maybe their Tomb Guardianship can achieve such a task," Sun Yan internally strategized.

The Tomb Guardians have different strengths, some excel at magical combat but lack auxiliary abilities.

Some might not excel in magical combat but possess abilities like the Thousand-Mile Eye, Downwind Ear, and Divine Traveling Ten Thousand Miles.

Which are very advantageous for locating people or objects, and that’s exactly what Sun Yan needs right now.

To enter the Grand Sacrificial Society, he must wait until the next week eight; until then, all he can do is patiently wait.

...

On the surface of the South Pacific Ocean.

An old cargo ship slowly advanced, the entire vessel traversing without any lights, like a ghost ship drifting on the vast ocean.

On the ship’s bow deck, hundreds of humans in black cloaks stood in an array resembling an array, hands uniformly raised towards the sky, chanting strange spells in whispers.

Even though the sea was as dark as an abyss, threatening to engulf everything at any moment.

These people fearlessly murmured, as if summoning something to appear.

Inside the control room, a group of individuals stood by the windows, overlooking the scene on the deck below.

Leading them was Xu Fu, with a few men dressed in ancient attire standing behind him.

"Master Xu, can this really attract those longevity species?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask, looking at the cult-like scene on the deck.

"I’ve been searching for longevity species for many years, investigating their presence through numerous ancient sites. The ancients would use sacrificial songs to attract the attention of these longevity species. Even now, though they’re sealed by the Immortal Family in the Grotto Heaven, it doesn’t stop them from sensing our presence and responding,"

Xu Fu said with a dispassionate gaze, "Longevity species have no specific language; they communicate spiritually. As long as enough emotion is produced, the longevity species will respond. Just wait, as soon as we find the longevity species, we can collaborate with them, perhaps breaking the Immortal Family’s seal and escaping this world."

One of Xu Fu’s disciples hesitated slightly, asking, "Master Xu, is leaving this world really wise? We don’t know what’s beyond the seal, and what if life outside Earth isn’t as good? At least now we’re alive, and human technology progresses daily, perhaps one day we’ll board ships to leave the Milky Way Galaxy ourselves."

Before he could finish, Xu Fu suddenly turned, striking him atop his head.

Xu Fu’s palm burst with white light, followed by a powerful suction.

The speaking man had no time to struggle, as large amounts of his soul were pulled from his body into Xu Fu’s palm.

His body withered visibly, shrinking.

Eventually, his husk fell to the ground like a discarded shell.

Witnessing this, the other disciples’ faces turned pale, revealing a trace of fear.

"If your Dao heart is unstable, there’s no place for you at my side,"

Xu Fu said coldly, "This world is now the End of Dharma Era, with spiritual qi dwindling. Ordinary methods can no longer achieve immortality, let alone longevity. You’ve followed me for years. You should understand nothing is more threatening than staying in this world. Our ultimate goal is to escape it; in the future, if anyone dares question again, I will reclaim all I’ve given to you. Were it not for me, you’d have been piles of bones long ago. Understand?"

The disciples quickly replied with utmost respect, "Yes! We will definitely follow Master Xu’s orders."

"Seeking immortality, the vast cosmos to seek Dao; if we can’t shatter these heavens, we’ll be imprisoned forever," Xu Fu sighed, then fell silent.

On the tranquil sea, fierce waves suddenly surged, as if a giant entity churned below.

In the dark sea, numerous shadows seemed to multiply.

"What is that?!"

"What’s happening!"

Amidst the murmuring of those black-robed figures on the deck, one after another creature with fish heads, scales covering their entire bodies, and web-like limbs climbed up from the sea onto the ship, crowding the entire deck, their eyes glowing, staring at the singing humans.

"They appeared! It’s them! Subordinates of the longevity species!"

Seeing the emergence of the half-human, half-fish creatures from the sea, Xu Fu’s eyes lit up with uncontrollable excitement.

After searching for so long, he finally found his target.

"Ah!!!"

"Why! We summoned you, why are you doing this!"

The creatures gave the black-robed singers no time to continue, launching a furious slaughter.

The black-robed figures were torn apart under the claws of these creatures, cries of despair echoing across the deck.

"Master Xu, why is this happening?" Xu Fu’s disciple asked, unable to contain himself.

They came with intentions of collaboration, if the longevity species harbored hostility, Xu Fu’s plan would fail.

"No need to worry, these subordinates of the longevity species are particularly sensitive to humans intruding on their territory, this is a normal occurrence. Even if it’s a ritual, some sacrifices are expected."

Xu Fu smiled nonchalantly, "Now, we just have to wait for the true longevity species to arrive. Come, let’s go out to greet it."
