Sequence Ocean Survival: Awakening God-Tier Sequences at the Start

Chapter 256 Good news: Extremely high status; bad news: The whole island is an enemy!

"vomit--"

A muffled retching sound came from beside me.

The human swordsman who had previously managed to reach level 800 was now bent over, his face ashen.

It wasn't because I was scared.

It was not because of the reckless, even illegal, high-speed flight.

The surrounding scenery had long since blurred into elongated, bizarre lines of light, a residual afterimage caused by extreme speed. The intense jolt felt like an invisible hand pressing down on the back of everyone's heads, trying to shake their brains out.

"Hold on tight, the fog's coming out!"

Xing Tian's booming voice, like a broken gong, rang out in the gale.

Before he finished speaking, the thick, almost tangible, milky-white fog in front of him suddenly began to churn violently.

There was no gentle, gradual process of clearing away the clouds to reveal the sun.

It was like a red-hot blade stabbing into a huge block of solidified grease.

Sizzle—!

With a crisp sound as some kind of spatial barrier was torn apart, all the oppression, chaos, and confusion vanished in that instant.

The scene that immediately came into view made the swordsman, who had just straightened up, swallow back the profanities that were rising in his throat, and only managed to squeeze out a strange, distorted cry.

"This...this is in the sky?!"

Even Luo Tianfei, who always maintained a haughty demeanor, had her long, narrow phoenix eyes slightly fixed on the scene. Her tense body subconsciously relaxed as she was completely captivated by the magnificent spectacle before her.

Beneath my feet, there was no longer that unchanging, despairing deep sea.

It is a continent.

A super landmass that defies the laws of physics, arrogantly and domineeringly suspended thousands of meters in the air!

It is so vast that it stretches as far as the eye can see, covering at least a thousand square kilometers.

The mountains and rivers rise and fall, like dragons and snakes coiled; ancient trees reach the sky, like canopies obscuring the clouds.

Even more exaggerated are the water flows.

Countless silvery waterfalls cascade down from the edge of the island, falling into the vast emptiness below, transforming into a sky full of shimmering mist, which, under the refraction of sunlight, forms a series of magnificent rainbows.

What kind of island is this?

This is clearly a divine kingdom that was forcibly ripped off the earth's surface by the gods and thrown into the sky!

"That's interesting."

Lu Sheng had his hands in his pockets, and the wind made his bangs dance wildly in the wind, but there was no appreciation for the "beautiful scenery" in his dark golden vertical pupils.

Only cold, lifeless data streams are beating wildly.

[Target Analysis: The Main Line of Ascension Island]

[Core Architecture: Anti-gravity Matrix + Spatial Folding Force Field]

[Energy Source: High-Dimensional Spirit Crystal (Extremely High Reserves)]

[Evaluation: This is a huge, mobile...resource repository.]

"If Newton saw this, he'd probably be so angry he'd lift the lid of his coffin and nail it back on."

Lu Sheng licked his slightly dry lips.

What he cared about wasn't the scenery, but the intense, almost liquefied energy in the air.

Just standing here and taking a breath makes the thirsty cells in my body feel like ants that have fallen into a honey pot. Every pore is opening up, cheering, and greedily devouring the free-floating spiritual particles.

This place is really fertile.

"Hahaha! They're dumbfounded? A bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world!"

Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, Xing Tian felt a great sense of wicked pleasure.

He put one hand on his hip, pointed to the magnificent building complex that was faintly visible in the clouds, and his loud voice made everyone's eardrums buzz.

Welcome to Immortal Ascension Island!

"Throw away your meager imaginations! There are no sea monsters to bother you here, no abyssal threats, only resources more than you can vomit, and a broad road to the realm of gods!"

"How about it? Compared to your dilapidated, out-of-the-way city or quaint little paradise, isn't this place a million times better?!"

No one objected.

Because there's no way to refute it.

In this apocalyptic world, resources are life, dignity, and everything. And this place is practically synonymous with paradise.

call out--!

A streak of light ripped through the sky, carrying everyone as they plummeted downwards.

Finally, with a muffled "thud," the cyan spiritual energy dissipated, and the four landed steadily on a huge plaza paved with a single piece of white jade.

The moment your feet touch the ground, a profound sense of weight, originating from the earth's veins, rushes from the soles of your feet straight to the top of your head.

The square is enormous, with nine towering stone pillars carved with totems standing around it.

Many young disciples dressed in uniform white Taoist robes were moving back and forth in the square, either exchanging spiritual techniques or sitting cross-legged and breathing exercises.

The moment the two great gods, Xing Tian and Li Xiaoyao, descended, a brief vacuum appeared in the originally noisy square.

"Greetings, Grand Elder! Greetings, Elder Xingtian!"

The voices were uniform and even carried a hint of military solemnity.

Lu Sheng keenly sensed that the disciples' gazes did not hold much goodwill as they swept over the four of them.

That was scrutiny.

It's like a pack of wolves in their territory looking at a few stray dogs that have suddenly wandered in.

Several powerful young disciples made no attempt to hide the provocation and contempt in their eyes, their gazes lingering on Luo Tianfei's tattered red dress and Lu Sheng's lazy demeanor for a long time.

"What are you looking at! Get back to your cultivation!"

Xing Tian glared at them, and the group of disciples scattered like birds and beasts, but the faint sense of rejection still lingered in the air.

"This is not an orphanage."

Li Xiaoyao, who hadn't spoken until now, walked slowly to the four people with his hands behind his back.

The kindness on his face had long since vanished, replaced by an absolute, rational indifference.

"Once you enter this door, the rules outside are null and void; you must abide by the rules here."

Xing Tian picked up the conversation, extending a thick, carrot-like finger. He pointed to the main island beneath his feet, then to the nine small floating islands above his head that seemed to be surrounded by nine stars.

"Dengxian Island is a living pyramid."

"At the very bottom are the outer disciples. They live on the outermost edge of the main island, in places where a gust of wind could send them tumbling down. They do the hardest work, receive the fewest resources, and nobody cares whether they live or die."

"Climbing up further, you become an inner disciple. You can enter the core circle of the main island, where elders occasionally give lectures, and you can receive some spirit stones each month."

"Next are the core disciples."

Xing Tian's gaze swept over the two people besides Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei.

"You two are barely acceptable, but you'll be temporarily placed in the core. You have your own independent cave dwellings and plenty of resources, but don't take yourselves too seriously. If you want to climb up, you'll have to risk your lives."

The two men exchanged a glance. Although they were somewhat unwilling, they knew this was the best outcome. They quickly clasped their hands in agreement and obediently stood aside.

Only Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei remained in the square.

The air seemed to freeze.

Xing Tian grinned, revealing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth, his smile carrying a sly glint in his eyes, as if he were enjoying the spectacle even more.

"As for the two of you..."

He raised his hand and pointed to the nine floating islands above his head, shrouded in clouds and radiating colorful light.

"Beyond the true teachings, there is another position."

"Michiko."

The moment those two words were uttered, the disciples who hadn't gone far in the distance visibly stiffened.

Countless complex gazes were cast upon him.

Jealousy, passion, greed... it's the desire for absolute power.

"What is a Daozi?"

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance.

"The Dao Child is the direct offspring of the Great Dao. To put it simply..."

Xing Tian's fleshy face twitched, and he declared in a fanatical tone, "That's the father of the entire island!"

"See those nine floating islands? They're blessed lands formed by forcibly drawing upon the spiritual veins of the surrounding seas using a spirit-gathering array! Taking a single breath there is equivalent to three days of arduous cultivation down below!"

"Only Daozi is qualified to live there!"

"Not only that!"

Xing Tian pointed his thumb at the towering Sutra Repository behind him.

"View all the Spirit Source Secret Techniques freely! No level restrictions, no limit on the number of times!"

"The Dao Child will have priority in choosing all the top-tier resources! Whatever is left over for the others will then be distributed among them!"

"As long as you don't betray the island, you can do whatever you want on this island, even pluck the elders' beards, and no one will dare utter a single word against you!"

This is way too...violent.

Luo Tianfei's breathing quickened.

This level of resource allocation is utterly unreasonable. This isn't training disciples; it's raising a Gu king!

"but."

Xing Tian abruptly changed the subject, and a chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire room.

"This spot is so hot it could burn your butt, it could even cook it."

Li Xiaoyao approached with a sly smile, like an old fox watching his grandson jump into a fire pit.

"Little fellow, I previously bestowed upon you the title of First Sequence Dao Child, that was to give you face."

"But the rule of Ascension Island for thousands of years is—the strong live there, and the weak get out."

The old man pointed to the disciples in the distance, whose eyes were growing increasingly hostile and who were even starting to rub their fists together, his tone playful.

"Of the tens of thousands of disciples on this island, who doesn't want to become a Daoist? Who doesn't want to live in those houses up there?"

"Sitting in this position now, you're a sitting duck."

"According to the rules, any disciple above the core level can challenge you at any time if they feel that you are not worthy of your position."

"This is called the 'Battle for the Road'."

"You've won. You can continue to be the Taoist priest up there, enjoying the worship of thousands."

"We lost..."

The smile on Li Xiaoyao's face vanished instantly, his eyes turning as cold as a knife.

"Then get down here and clean the toilets outside! Your resources, your island, everything you have belongs to the victor!"

That's pretty blatant.

To give the best resources to the strongest people, you must keep them under constant life-or-death pressure, like being surrounded by wolves.

Luo Tianfei frowned, her fingers unconsciously tightening around her sleeves.

Although she was proud, she also felt immense pressure.

The people here are all geniuses, one in a million, some of whom have cultivated on the island for a long time and have unfathomable depths of knowledge.

To be faced with this relentless pressure right from the start is like pushing someone to their death.

however.

The expected solemnity, tension, or even protest did not appear on Lu Sheng's face.

He simply lowered his head, his shoulders twitching slightly.

then.

"Oh."

A soft laugh escaped from deep within his throat.

Lu Sheng slowly raised his head, but there was no pressure in his dark golden vertical pupils.

He cracked his neck, making a series of snapping sounds, and looked past Li Xiaoyao at the group of eager "challengers".

Those are tens of thousands of walking experience packs.

It is a mobile resource library of tens of thousands of files.

"Anytime you can challenge me? Not only can you fight, but you can also legally rob someone?"

Lu Sheng stuck out his tongue, licked his dry lips, turned to look at Xing Tian, ​​and asked a question that instantly froze the air in the room:

"What if I hit them too hard and accidentally killed them..."

He paused, then a sincere and sunny smile appeared on his face.

"We don't need to pay compensation, right?"

P.S.: Thank you for the generous donation! As usual, if the donation exceeds 10 yuan, I'll add an extra chapter! I don't ask for much; 10 yuan is enough for me to order a meal, hahaha.
