Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 240 - 167: Ghost Ship

Wu Chang retracted his Inspiration, actively shutting his ears to the Mystical abilities, and the voice in his mind instantly vanished.

The voice disappeared, but his expression remained grave.

He had heard the calling before; when he was in the Peaceful Town and first acquired the Deep Sea Race transformation, while undergoing the Giant Whale Transformation, he felt a similar call in the sea.

The call came from the depths of the ocean, enticing him to venture deeper into the sea.

At that time, his Inspiration and Will were still low, nearly succumbing to the allure. He hadn’t expected to hear a similar calling again in the Silent Route Dungeon.

Why would such a situation occur when the Peaceful Town and Silent Route are not even in the same Plane?

Could it be that all sea-related Planes are somehow connected to the call from the deep sea?

Impossible.

Wu Chang shook his head in denial, greatly trusting the stability of the Plane barriers. Even someone like Erin, who became a deity within the Desolate Realm, would be suppressed by the Plane Rules. How could the Desolate Realm accommodate such a powerful existence that traverses multiple Planes?

Before he could figure out what the call from the seabed was, his Mystically altered eyes witnessed the ship seemingly breaking through a thin membrane.

They emerged from the Ghost Wall sea region into another ocean expanse.

The sign of entering the new sea area was the disappearance of the Ghost Wall-like marked reef, and at the same time, the dense fog enshrouding the sea surface thinned, leaving only a gauzy layer of moisture.

The widened view signified easier navigation and a clearer path to finding the correct route.

Everything seemed to be taking a turn for the better.

But Wu Chang did not think so.

As the Star Jump sailed into the new sea area, the Mystical Energy on board became markedly intense. Besides the core node of the ritual on the fourth deck, a secondary core node appeared in the captain’s quarters.

The New Cosmos Sect’s plan seemed to have moved to the next stage, becoming restless and beginning to take action.

Standing on the seventh deck, Wu Chang gathered Energy in his eyes, straining to look into the distance.

With the effect of the Energy, his gaze penetrated the lingering thin mist on the sea surface, continuously extending far into the distance.

Technically, what humans grasp in Mysticism isn’t Mysticism itself but the Rules of Mysticism.

People use these Mystical Rules to manipulate a form of Energy already inherent to the world, molding it into the shape they desire.

And Mystical pollution is actually the true essence of Mystical Energy, the Mystical Origin as well.

However, this Energy is too powerful for ordinary human bodies to withstand.

The final form of the Secret Magic Knight was designed from the start to fuse the physical body with the Mystical Origin, aiming to bypass the Mystical Rules, reaching a realm of freely manipulating Mysticism.

Currently, Wu Chang’s eyes could perform similar feats.

When he activated his eyes with Energy, his Mystically transformed eyes could directly see through illusions created by Mystical Energy and achieve the effect that only Masters using the Eagle Eye Technique could attain, without understanding the Mystical Rules.

As the Star Jump traveled forward, his line of sight quickly picked up the silhouette of another ship. Judging by its size and appearance, it seemed to be a passenger liner, comparable to Star Jump.

Are there other ships in this sea region?

He looked intently at that ship, trying to discern who was aboard, whether it was a large group from the New Cosmos Sect waiting here or unfortunate souls like those on the Star Jump being lured here.

As the two ships drew closer, he noticed red dots on the distant ship’s hull.

A dense mass of red dots.

Each red dot embodied a grudge.

Separated by several kilometers, he couldn’t directly read the information within the grudges, so he quickly descended to the third deck to observe closely as the ships approached each other.

Upon arriving at the third-level hall, he saw that the number of those praying within the New Cosmos Sect had more than doubled.

The entire hall had nearly joined their prayers.

After a full day’s efforts, every new member’s eyes were at least half-opened.

It wouldn’t be long before these new members would turn into mature seeds, just like the excellent believers participating in community building activities.

A piercing alarm sounded, interrupting everyone’s prayers.

The crew of the Star Jump noticed another passenger liner heading directly towards them,

As the Star Jump rang the alarm, it also signaled with lamps towards the distance, warning the other ship to stop.

Yet there was no response from the other side; it continued sailing towards them.

When the distance between the two ships was less than a kilometer, the approaching vessel slowly came to a halt, motionless on the sea surface.

A crew member used a megaphone to shout towards the incoming ship, but there was no response, only an eerie stillness.

Star Jump gradually drew closer to the vessel, and the passengers gathered on the deck began to see the name on the hull of the approaching ship.

Sea Song.

Such a familiar name.

People pondered over the significance of this name until someone quickly recalled that two years ago, a cruise departed from Pen Island heading towards Mid Country, passing Gao Mu Country, and vanished shortly after leaving without a trace.

The name of that vanished cruise was the Sea Song.

A Ghost Ship, missing for two years, now eerily intact, appeared right before everyone’s eyes.

The moment this news spread, the entire ship descended into a state of fear.
