Chapter 400: It’s Light!

Chapter 400: It’s Light!

Why is this thing glowing?

Could it be that this is the ocean, and this Water Spirit Heart has sensed the ocean’s call? Is it actually a transformation device for the Blue Giant? If I scream “Agu Lux” at the top of my lungs, do I turn into the Blue Giant?

When it comes to believing in light, Lin Nuo definitely believes in it, but this dimension doesn’t seem to be the dimension of Ultraman.

Lin Nuo thinks this might be related to the sudden disturbance in the ocean’s spiritual energy. The wave that just resonated with him seemed to indicate some kind of power at work.

The spiritual light from the Blue Crystal Water Spirit Heart is very faint, and it’s not a continuous glow but rather a flickering one.

As the disturbance in the spiritual energy recedes, the light from the Water Spirit Heart grows even fainter.

What’s going on?

Lin Nuo feels lost about what’s happening, as he doesn’t remember any significant events concerning the ocean at this time.

In his previous life, he didn’t come to pay respects during this period because he happened to be in a month-long secluded training session, and it was difficult for low-level disciples to descend the mountain. Hence, he couldn’t visit, leaving him unaware of matters here.

Even if something important had happened, he wouldn’t know, for he was just a low-level disciple who was in closed-door cultivation, truly oblivious to the outside world.

He thinks he might be overthinking it; perhaps this broken crystal is just having a moment, flashing for attention.

Yes, he even forgot about its existence when it wasn’t glowing.

Whatever, back to munching on the cake.

Today’s Meat Floss Cake lacks flavor, probably because he isn’t used to the local taste, it’s just a bit off.

Meat Floss Cake depends on the region; different areas have different flavors — some spicy, some salty, some sweet. Lin Nuo prefers the sweeter kind, while this area leans towards salty, which he finds a bit lacking in appeal, plus salty Meat Floss Cake makes him thirsty, requiring constant water intake.

Even the icy water brought here isn’t enough to quench his thirst without Mu Yiting around.

When the disturbance subsides, suddenly that wave of spiritual energy breaks forth again, and the Water Spirit Heart in his hand begins to shine brightly, even more intensely than before.

Still flickering, it doesn’t stay lit long before dimming again.

A thought strikes Lin Nuo.

This feels like a hint.

A hint of what?

Maybe there’s something nearby that needs his attention.

But as an excellent villain, the fundamental quality is to be cautious, for this is an unknown — could it be a surprise or a disaster?

Lin Nuo feels it necessary to find a high place to take a look, gaining a better view from above.

So, he chooses the highest watchtower by the seaside.

There’s always a structure called a lookout tower by the seaside, after all, the ocean is vast and endless, standing high allows for a greater view; with a lookout tower, one can see further across the horizon.

Plus, if pirates are around, they can be spotted in time to prepare a response.

Pirates are not an extinct breed; they are bands of desperate rogues who gather, setting sail on large ships from islands or coastal areas, making a living by plundering.

However, there are far fewer pirates nowadays, primarily because the sea weather has been bizarre recently, with sudden dark clouds, thunder, and storms, plus strange sea creatures causing many pirates to perish in the waters.

Ru Yu Village’s waters are known for peaceful weather, pirates once eyed them, but their ships sank before they could even land.

Very strange.

Lin Nuo uses Wind Technique to enhance his jump, leaping to the top of the lookout tower.

On the watchtower, a young lad is observing when he suddenly sees someone charging up, startled, and immediately grabs an axe, ready to deal with the intruder.

But seeing it’s Lin Nuo, the boy relaxes.

“Oh, it’s just you, brother! You scared me! I was thinking, how did you get up here?”

“Just borrowing your lookout tower.”

Since it’s Lin Nuo’s first time up, he scans the surroundings; the lookout tower isn’t wide and is quite simple, standing about ten meters tall, which isn’t too high, but the view from up there is certainly better than at ground level.

He gazes out at the endless blue sea, depth unseen, but he can vaguely see some islands.

However, due to the limited height of the lookout tower, even with sharp eyesight, he can only spot a few islands.

“Not enough.” Lin Nuo mutters to himself.

“Not enough for what?” the young lad asks.

Lin Nuo doesn’t respond and looks up at the sky.

He didn’t bring his sword; otherwise, he could have flown up.

But he can’t go back now to get it; if he did, Summer Hanmo would probably trick him, saying it’s almost dinner time, where are you running off to? When he finally comes back, there’d still be no food, and he’d feel awful for leaving.

In a small village like Ru Yu Village, Lin Nuo tries not to use too many skills, especially not flying. If he were to fly, they’d see him as an immortal, and that would bring a whole wave of unnecessary praise.

Now, if he wants to see further, he needs to go to a higher place.

Lin Nuo gathers some power and lightly leaps, leaving the young man at the lookout tower dumbfounded.

“Brother, don’t do anything crazy!”

However, Lin Nuo’s leap isn’t downwards but upwards, using Wind Technique to maximize his jump height, gradually distancing himself from the lookout tower.

Then he gains sufficient visibility to clearly see the layout of the islands.

Those islands seem perfectly normal and unremarkable, just ordinary little islands. But if the ocean is seen as a sheet of paper, and they are mere points, then together they form a pattern.

Like a constellation, a picture formed by connecting stars.

As these little islands fall into Lin Nuo’s sight, after some mental processing, he sketches a rough image of a person holding a harpoon.

And the harpoon’s tip is precisely at the shore, near a rocky cove.

“Could this be…?”

Lin Nuo gets an idea and begins descending from the sky, leaving the young lad at the lookout tower stunned again.

Is this what cultivators do? Just one leap into the sky, so ethereal!

“Brother, where are you going?” the young lad shouts, but Lin Nuo doesn’t reply, diving into a grove that obscures his view, leaving him unable to see.

He finds it strange; what could this person, just having leaped to the sky, be thinking?

Soon, Lin Nuo reaches that cove and takes out the Water Spirit Heart. At this moment, it emits an extremely strong light, and Lin Nuo feels he’s onto something.

But even if he found the right place, what should he do next?

Do I really just shout “Gaia” or “Agu Lux” to turn into light?

In an instant, the Water Spirit Heart radiates an incredibly intense glow; everything before his eyes turns a blinding white.

Then, everything disappears.

He finds himself in a place, seemingly underwater.
