Chapter 2005 Jade Emperor
The tide is strong.
As the white line advanced, a wall of water rushed over and the sea water flooded in. Except for a mountain in the middle of the island, almost everything was submerged under the tide.
Looking in the direction where the tide comes from, you can't see the end of the ocean current.
The setting sun casts a dim light on the sky.
When the tide came, the area around the island became bright. It turned out that what we saw before was not just waves, but also countless spots of light.
These spots of light were extremely tiny. They turned out to be spirit insects, similar in shape to beetles. They glowed like fireflies, but were much smaller in size.
Among the insect swarms, the lights are connected, alternating between sparse and dense, forming light flakes, like pieces of glowing seaweed.
The insects drift with the tides, and the ocean currents seem to be made up of insects, present everywhere from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea, and countless in number.
In an instant, the entire island and the white tiger that had not left the island were surrounded by the swarm of insects.
The tide had just arrived, and although there was no immediate danger, the scene was still scary enough.
In the quiet room, Qin Sang looked outside and frowned.
There is no such spiritual insect on the Witch Insect List. It can be seen that the individual ability of this spiritual insect is not strong and it is as fragile as an ant, but its number is too astonishing.
Some special spiritual insects are unremarkable individually, but once they form a group and reproduce to a certain number, the entire group will mutate and develop unimaginably powerful magical powers. They are extremely dangerous and even cultivators have to stay away from them.
Those on the Witch Insect List all have both magical powers and potential. Individually, they are powerful enough to guide their descendants in practicing the way of spiritual insects.
It is very difficult for cultivators to control this kind of spiritual insects, so they are not on the list.
I don’t know what magical powers these light insects have, but judging from Li’er’s performance, they must have a way to deal with it.
"What kind of spiritual insect is in the sea?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"These are the tide messengers. They are finally here!"
Li'er answered crisply, cheered, and jumped up. After a mechanism rang in mid-air, she turned into a mermaid shark. Her body suddenly bounced and she dived into the sea.
‘Wow! ’
The water splashed high.
Li'er threw herself into the ocean current and turned into a real shark, swimming flexibly in the sea.
The skin of the shark is covered with dense spots. These spots are as big as tide messengers and can emit the same light. They can even imitate the special fluctuations of tide messenger swarms.
The tide-messengers mistook Li'er for one of their own kind, and the frightened swarm of insects immediately gathered around Li'er.
The spots on Li'er's body began to shimmer slightly, as if possessing some kind of magic. The insect swarms continued to gather towards this section of the ocean current, appearing brighter than anywhere else.
More and more damp-letter beetles were attracted, forming a large, dense patch of light that wrapped the pear in the middle, making it impossible to tell the difference between the pear and the damp-letter beetle.
Li'er completely integrated into the insect swarm and drifted with the ocean current.
Qin Sang sensed for a while and found nothing unusual about the insect swarm. Moreover, the speed of the ocean current was quite fast. He thought to himself that Can Jincheng was indeed quite skilled. He believed that he had made some experience in controlling insects. It was not easy to figure out the habits of this kind of spiritual insects.
Tide-telling insects don't make any sound, and the only sound in the ocean currents is the sound of flowing water, which is unusually quiet. The others also put their minds at ease and entered into meditation.
This drift lasted for three full years.
During these three years, Li'er never changed into any other form or displayed any token, but she was not harassed by any monsters or practitioners. This shows that the tide-signaling insects are not harmless to humans and animals. Li'er must have deceived the insect swarm in some way.
‘Wow! ’
Li'er separated from the water and transformed back into a white tiger. She shook her fur, raised her tiger claws and waved at the insect swarm, "Goodbye! Thank you for protecting Li'er!"
The swarm of insects naturally wouldn't respond to her, and Li'er didn't care, she just ran away on all four legs. As they got closer to Da Zhou, it was obviously much safer here, so Li'er started to speed up.
Three months later, another person was about to get off the ship.
"Please let me go. Thank you Miss Li'er for escorting me."
An old man got off the boat.
In the fifth month, Zhuque suddenly woke Qin Sang up and pointed out the window excitedly. Qin Sang saw a black line appear at the end of the sea, extending infinitely in both directions.
"Dear guests, we have reached the shore. The tide is coming early. We are half a year ahead of schedule!"
Li'er's voice echoed throughout the cabin, waking everyone up.
"We've finally arrived at Da Zhou!"
Qin Sang couldn't help but stand up and stare at the continent.
Ahead is the territory of Great Zhou, where the human race lives and multiplies. I wonder what is waiting for him ahead, a surprise or danger?
From the remote Yuedu Bay to Da Zhou, this is the first step into the great universe.
"Will I meet old friends in Da Zhou?"
Qin Sang's eyes were dark.
Before, I thought that searching for old friends in this vast world was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Unexpectedly, the human race actually has the Great Zhou Immortal Kingdom and the human holy land of Baiyujing, which is equivalent to the center of the entire human race and is the most eye-catching landmark. As long as the ascended monks have the opportunity, they should want to go there to pay their respects, right?
As the center of the human race in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Baiyujing is bound to have more opportunities and will undoubtedly attract countless heroes to gather here.
The ascended monks in the Storm Realm might have established their own power in the Great Zhou and left behind a legend.
Of course, Qin Sang wanted to see those old friends more. If they could also come to Baiyujing, they would eventually meet each other.
"More than five hundred years!"
Qin Sang sighed secretly. If we count the two hundred years in the talisman world, he has been "ascended" for nearly eight hundred years. This is a number that ordinary people cannot imagine, and many things can happen there.
"The capital of Lantan Prefecture is called Lantan City. It's not far from the South China Sea. We can get there in three days!"
When Li'er stepped onto the land, her body shook slightly and she made a joyful sound, interrupting Qin Sang's thoughts.
The monks on the ship were all planning to make plans after reaching Blue Beach City, so no one got off the ship.
When they stepped onto the land, they were greeted by a tall mountain range that stretched into the distance along the coast.
Li'er grew wings under her ribs and turned into a flying tiger. Her vision extended and she saw the undulating mountains in front of her, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"It's worthy of being called Genzhou!"
Qin Sang and others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the eight great continents were named after the Eight Trigrams, and it seemed that they could correspond to the trigrams.
As they walked along, they saw mortals working and immortal cultivators coming and going below, and the situation was generally peaceful.
On the third day, just after noon, a mountain city came into view. It was Blue Beach City.
Lantan City was built on a mountain. It was well-behaved and there was nothing special about it. However, it reminded Qin Sang of the fairy city of Daotingdutan.
'Snapped! '
Li'er fell from the sky, landed on all fours, and landed on a high platform in the city.
Qin Sang noticed the presence of guards and a large formation in the city, but no one stopped him and no one came to investigate. This was obviously a privilege of Canjin City.
"We have arrived at Blue Beach City. Li'er's mission has been completed. All the distinguished guests may disembark!"
A door opened in Li'er's abdomen, and Qin Sang and others walked down one after another.
"Ah! Li'er is finally back!"
A cry of surprise came from below, and a fiery red figure flew out, it turned out to be a fire phoenix.
This fire phoenix is undoubtedly also a mechanical beast, and it must be the red phoenix that Li'er mentioned before.
"Sister Hong'er, Li'er misses you so much!"
Li'er jumped over, and the tiger and the phoenix hugged each other tightly, spinning and jumping, and finally the tiger's phoenix's wings were on the tiger's phoenix's wings, and they danced in the air, fully displaying the joy of the friends' reunion.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is rare to see such a pure and sincere scene, and several old monsters all showed kind smiles.
"Miss Li'er, see you later!"
Qin Sang bowed and walked out of the courtyard.
On the way here, Li'er gave a general introduction to Blue Beach City, and he already had a goal.
"Master, please stay," Huai Ting called him from behind.
Qin Sang learned that Huai Ting planned to settle down in Lantan City first, travel around the area, and then gradually go deeper after getting familiar with the city. He once again declined Huai Ting's invitation to join him. Huai Ting was also a free and easy person. He said goodbye and turned to leave.
Qin Sang turned a street and found several chambers of commerce, and bought several feng shui maps. He found that the contents on them were similar, but more detailed than Li'er's, marking some surrounding sects and forbidden areas, but he had to distinguish the authenticity by himself.
He randomly picked a chamber of commerce to stay at and chat with the manager.
"Chenhui Prefecture is the westernmost prefecture in Genzhou? What else is there to the west?" Qin Sang asked, pointing at the geomancy map.
"Mountain!"
The manager said, and stretched out his hand to draw a half circle on the edge of the geomancy map, "Besides the sea, there are mountains. Endless mountains, endless dangers. It is said that the area between Genzhou and Baiyujing is the same. There are mountains that you can never walk through in your lifetime. Otherwise, why is it called Genzhou?"
"Of course I have never been there. I heard about it from a senior. Does Brother Qin want to go to those places?" the steward asked.
Qin Sang decided to use his real name in the Great Zhou Dynasty from now on, maybe it would reach the ears of old friends.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to go?"
Qin Sang glanced outside and sighed, "This prefecture is one of the prefectures in Genzhou, but there is no large teleportation formation leading to other prefectures!"
The steward laughed, "It's not that easy to build a large teleportation array. Lantan Mansion has only existed for less than a thousand years. I wonder when our mansion master will have the strength to build one, so that it will be convenient for travel in the future."
"Oh? Our Lantan Prefecture is also within the Great Zhou territory, and the Prefecture Master has to personally plan and build the Great Teleportation Array?" Qin Sang deliberately showed a look of doubt.
The steward looked at Qin Sang carefully and said in a disapproving tone, "Fellow Daoist Qin, have you met the King of Zhou? You thought it was in the mortal world, where the king conquered the world and sent civil officials and military generals to govern. I heard that..."
The steward lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious, "It is said that if a powerful person wants to build a city or a palace, as long as certain conditions are met and a notice is given, declaring that they will serve the King of Zhou as their master from now on, they can ask for a summons from the King of Zhou. This is how the various palaces and cities are often built."
"Is it the same in Tianji City, the capital of Genzhou?" Qin Sang asked.
He thought secretly that it sounded like the so-called common ruler of the world by King Zhou was more of a righteous title, and there were countless forces in the world who would only obey orders and not obey orders.
"I don't know about that. It is said that the Eight Heavenly States and Baiyujing have existed since the Jade Emperor created the world," the steward shook his head.
Jade Emperor!
This was not the first time Qin Sang had heard this name.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have much respect for the contemporary King of Zhou, but the legend of the Jade Emperor was far-reaching and known to everyone.
According to legend, the Jade Emperor created the world and led the human race out of the wilderness. He worked hard to expel demons, standardized etiquette, passed on immortal laws, founded the Great Zhou and the eight heavenly states, and established a foundation that would last for all eternity. From then on, the human race truly prospered and stood tall among the vast universe.
Baiyujing is where the Jade Emperor resides. The Eight Heavenly States govern the world and have existed since ancient times. All the Zhou kings in history were descendants of the Jade Queen.
If the legend is true, the Jade Emperor has undoubtedly made great achievements and his prestige is unmatched. He is revered by everyone in the world. It is not difficult to imagine that the Great Zhou and the King of Zhou have such a status.
Anyone who dares to overthrow the Great Zhou is going against the justice of the human race.
However, the manager of a mere chamber of commerce only knew limited things, and most of what he heard was hearsay. Moreover, in Lantan Prefecture, which did not even have a small teleportation array, these legends were very exaggerated.
Qin Sang listened to it for the time being, thinking that he would have to go to Baiyujing to find out the truth. He chatted with the steward for a while and then asked, "Qin wants to go to another prefecture, but I'm afraid that I'm alone and weak, and I won't have peace on the road. What do you recommend, fellow Taoist?"
"Of course it's Canjin City!"
The steward said without hesitation, "However, the price asked by Canjin City is too high, and most people cannot afford it. As long as Fellow Daoist Qin can afford the price, there is no need to think about other places in Genzhou."
"Thanks for the advice, fellow Taoist."
Qin Sang stood up and bought some spiritual materials before leaving, which made the manager smile.
After wandering around Blue Beach City for a while, Qin Sang did not leave the city, but went to Canjin City again.
It was Chi Fenghong'er who received him this time.
The closest place to Lantan Prefecture and the one with a large teleportation array is Xushan Prefecture. When Qin Sang told her the purpose, Hong'er immediately agreed, but they had to wait a month to gather more people so that they could set off together.
This time, Qin Sang entered Hong'er's belly again.
These mechanical beasts move on land in much the same way as they do in the sea. Hong'er sometimes dances like a phoenix in the sky, sometimes transforms into legs and runs on the ground, showing all kinds of fantastic changes.
When passing by a swamp full of miasma, he unexpectedly entered the belly of a giant crocodile and was carried across the water by the crocodile. The giant crocodile was not a monster but a wild beast, yet it could survive in the miasma.
On the way, we will pass through cities, strongholds and sects of all sizes, and stop along the way, with passengers getting on and off in an orderly manner.
After arriving safely at Xushan Prefecture, the rest of the journey will be much smoother, as we can transfer via the Great Teleportation Array.
Unlike the Dao Court, the inspections in the Great Zhou were not strict. They basically only focused on the cultivation level of those coming and going and took corresponding precautions.
Qin Sang is a cultivator of the Void Refining Stage and is treated with a certain level of attention. He always feels like he is being watched in secret.
The Great Teleportation Array is convenient, but the price is extremely high, even a Divine Transformation cultivator would feel painful after riding it once.
Qin Sang naturally didn't care about this little expense. Seeing that Genzhou and Baiyujing were so close, he didn't plan to stay halfway. After several transfers, he finally reached his destination.
The capital of Genzhou, Tianji City!
After feeling slightly dizzy, Qin Sang quickly returned to normal. He calmed the turbulent energy in his body, looked around, and found that he had been teleported to a closed hall.
A row of guards in full black armor stood in the hall.
Moreover, Qin Sang felt that a hidden aura was locking onto him. If he did anything untoward, the formation would be activated immediately. He was afraid that even a Void Refining cultivator like him would be reduced to ashes in an instant. He could not help but feel secretly awed.
"Daoyou can enter the city through this formation."
The leader stretched out his hand, and rows of small teleportation arrays appeared next to the large teleportation array, all leading to Tianji City. In this way, the large teleportation array was hidden in an unknown place.
Qin Sang nodded, picked one at random, and stepped into the formation.
