NIRVANA SHACKLES
SWALLOWED SHARK

Hold the Samsara entered by the spirit of Qiaofeng back to attack the water monster. When the water monster had surrendered and returned to the bottom of the sea, Qiaofeng returned to his human form. He lifted up the thread lifting the red thread that was along the ocean with his strength. When the red thread has successfully fallen into his hands, the thread turns shorter, about half a meter like the size of a zither/lute.

Qiaofeng smiled half-lips when he managed to get the first thread that was none other than the red thread of the rainbow zither. Then, he rushed to dive into the sea, with the aim of searching for Wuxian's whereabouts.

"Wuxin! where are you?" Qiaofeng tried to summon Wuxian with the inner contact she was connected to. "Wuxian, are you okay?" He continued to search, to the bottom of the endless ocean.

The ocean is very wide. It was almost impossible if he looked for it in such a simple way. There was no other choice but to summon the Wuxian soul, although he had to lose a lot of his spiritual power.

Qiaofeng finally decided to search for Wuxian with a soul summoning spell. As a sword spirit, the heart of his sword had been possessed by Wuxian. Qiaofeng only needed to summon his heart that had been protecting Wuxian all this time.

"That damn kid!" Qiaofeng still had time to curse when his spiritual power was weakened when summoning the Wuxian soul. The heart of the sword was Qiaofeng's most important part in maintaining the human form. If he felt in danger, then his body slowly became translucent, because that was how he felt right now.

Qiaofeng realized that his body slowly disappeared when he saw his palm that became translucent as he swam across the ocean, while Wuxian never found it.

"Can't keep this up. The ocean is so vast and deep. Where should I find him? I don't have much time. Soon my true form will return," he murmured. Qiaofeng began to panic when he never found Wuxian, even when he had cast a soul summoning spell. "Where the fuck is that kid!" objurgation.

After a while, Qiaofeng was finally able to feel the presence of his heart around him. However, he still had difficulty finding the Wuxian figure among the thousands of marine species within such a vast ocean.

"Dark? Sure enough, the boy's in the shark's stomach?" Qiaofeng did not want to believe it, but that was the reality. He felt silly mixed with amusement.

Wuxian, who had previously said that he could defeat sea monsters with confidence, now ended up inside the stomach of an ordinary shark. However, Qiaofeng's worries turned to sectarian annoyance.

"My current master is unreliable!"

As fast as lightning, Qiaofeng braved the pressure of the currents in the sea to remove Wuxian from the shark's stomach. It was not difficult for Qiaofeng to defeat such an ordinary shark. Without a second thought, Qiaofeng separated the spirit of his body with the form of a sword, then he grasped the Sword of Samsara with his own hands.

AREEK!!!

Not much thought, the shark's stomach was split with a single slash. Instantly, the shark's body split into two. The sea water turned red because it was mixed with shark blood that swallowed Wuxian's body.

Qiaofeng did the action without much thought. He did not care if his attack could hurt Wuxian or split his body like a split shark body. When the shark's body was split in two, in a collection of internal organs, a body covered in shark blood was seen. Yes, that piece of body must be Wuxian's body. Fortunately, Qiaofeng removed Wuxian's body from the shark's stomach in its intact condition without being cut off in the slightest. However, looking at Wuxian who was completely fine, it did not make Qiaofeng feel happy in the least.

"Useless! it should be one of his legs or hands, or all of his head should be separated from his body!" chirp Qiaofeng in annoyance. "Shame the good name of the Asura clan alone! throughout history, no clan member has been as weak as him! not a single member of the clan had ever been swallowed by an animal like him. How humiliating!" Qiaofeng was not satisfied to vent his anger when many times he himself had to intervene to save Wuxian from the impact of making it that always ended silly.

The night finally arrived. The warriors who traveled to the Northeast Ocean in search of artifacts decided to rest in a nearby inn. Similarly, Huang Chao and his classmates who have been through a trip for a day last night. It was certain that they were very tired, especially now that Huang Chao was still in the recovery stage.

Not only those who came in groups, but also many other disciples of the immortal sect envoys, and also through the journey towards the Northeast Ocean. Their goal was the same, namely to find holy artifacts scattered in various directions. Their journey is almost there. Therefore, they postpone it until tomorrow. But suddenly, all the disciples staying at an inn felt a tremor as they set their feet on the ground.

"Do you feel any vibrations around here?" huang Chao asked his comrades.

"Senior, I feel it."

"I am too."

"I feel it too."

"Actually, what's going on around here? why is the ground suddenly shaking? although the vibration was not strong, but it was very clearly felt." Huang Chao wondered about what was going on.

"It must be a water monster" said someone who mediated their conversation.

He was Chang Sheng who had come to bring a bowl of medicinal soup for Huang Chao's recovery. When he heard the words of Chang Sheng, at once all who were there did not understand and were curious about what Chang Sheng meant.

"Water monster? whatdoes thatmean? is there some kind of monster that's disturbing the peace of the area around here?" lice Huang Chao.

"What water monsters? but if there really is a monster around here, we should eliminate it according to the sect's teachings!" tusky.

"The water monster I'm referring to is not what you guys think it is. The water monster did not bother anyone, but he was precisely the guardian of the balance of the sea. The balance of the sea in question is the red thread of the rainbow zither. The monster was guarding the rainbow zither thread. But apparently, he failed in his duty. Someone had successfully lifted the red thread from the Northeast ocean. You guys are so late. Congratulations, your trip to this place was in vain" Chang seng said as he explained.

"Red yarn has been lifted? who lifted it? are the sect disciples coming with us?" cecar was a colleague of Huang Chao.

"Cannot be. Definitely not those who do. The sun has set. I guess, the one who raised the red thread must have long since reached the Northeast ocean."
