Chapter 2043: Danger
The sword slave said, "I sent a message to my master, and then I came back to wait for the real person, but I didn't see my master."
They knew what danger the Tianyueshang people would face, but they could do nothing.
Qin Sang sighed, "Fellow Daoist, are you still going back to Baiyujing? I wonder what instructions you have given me?"
The sword slave said in a daze: "My cultivation is low, and I can't help the master. The master said that he would not be able to settle down for a while, so he let me decide where to go by myself, and I don't have to be trapped in Baiyujing. But I have no relatives in the world, and my old friends are missing with Daoting. I don't know where to go except Baiyujing."
Since he followed Tianyue Shangren, he regarded himself as a slave, was loyal to Tianyue Shangren, and strictly completed every order. Suddenly he was freed, and he didn't know where to go.
Qin Sang thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Kanzhou and open a Taoist temple overseas. You may as well go to Kanzhou with me. If you want to travel around the world, the East China Sea is vast and you can travel anywhere, and we can also take care of each other. If you want to practice in seclusion, I will leave a cave for you in the Taoist temple."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "The place I chose is located in the territory of a foreign race, surrounded by enemies on all sides. I'm afraid it will be hard to have peace and stability. You will have no shortage of opportunities to hone your swordsmanship."
If Qin Sang was forced to flee, Jian Nu could stay in Da Zhou to provide support. Since he had escaped safely, he might as well keep Jian Nu by his side.
The sword slave is a pure sword cultivator who has inherited the true teachings of Master Tianyue. He is an excellent swordsman and should be hard to beat below the level of Lianxu. He is undoubtedly a powerful fighter.
During this period of time, Qin Sang had been thinking about how to resolve the crisis and survive in the alien territory after finding the Storm Realm.
Migrating the entire country is really the worst option.
There are countless people in the various tribes of the Storm Realm. Even if Qin Sang’s small cave is intact, it is unknown how many times he will have to go back and forth. What’s more, the space is unstable and living creatures cannot survive for long.
Using other magical instruments to migrate would inevitably cause a huge noise. How many alien races along the way would sit idly by? When the road ahead is blocked and there are pursuers behind, how many people can finally make it out alive?
Qin Sang believed that as long as the Storm Realm had not been destroyed, the situation was not extremely urgent. Perhaps the Changyou Tribe was trying to monopolize the realm, blocking the news and preventing other alien races from intervening; or perhaps the powerful alien races were proud of their status and thought that the Storm Realm was no threat to them, so they were too lazy to pay attention and let the people below solve it on their own.
However, once he showed up in the Storm Realm, the nature of the situation changed.
The Storm Realm has become a virtual power, and the powerful aliens will not sit idly by. Therefore, even if he and Su Nu find the Storm Realm, they cannot act simply and crudely, and directly attack and repel the Changyou tribe. They must consider the geographical environment and pay attention to strategy.
The situation within the Storm Realm is also complicated. The various domains were originally divided by storms, and the customs and cultures vary greatly. There are countless sects, and there are three ethnic groups: humans, wizards, and liches, all of which have grudges and entanglements with each other.
Whether inside or outside, everything must be unravelled and handled patiently.
In this case, the Storm Realm's incarnation combat power is crucial and is the backbone. It is possible that the sword slaves will be asked to lead the Storm Realm monks to fight in all directions.
After receiving Qin Sang's invitation, Jian Nu did not hesitate at all and decisively agreed, "I will obey your orders!"
Qin Sang was very happy to have received another great help, and took his sword slave to see Su Nu and Gu Ya.
The few people met each other. Qin Sang only said that Jian Nu was an old acquaintance, but did not introduce his origins. The two women did not ask any more questions.
Upon learning about the sword slave's cultivation level, Gu Ya couldn't help but be overjoyed. This time he brought back so many masters, and hoped that the Storm Realm could hold out until the day they arrived!
……
"This is Xuwei City."
Qin Sang smelled the slightly salty sea breeze and stepped on the stone slabs on the ground. The ground was solid.
Looking around, the sky is clear.
Under the blue sky, the roofs are like a forest in all directions. The pavilions and buildings here are all unique, decorated with things from the sea, with strange shapes and bright colors. The tiles on the roof are polished by special Lingbei, as clear as colored glaze, sparkling under the scorching sun, like the tide sweeping over the fairy city.
The earth has almost no undulations, and there is not a single tall mountain to be seen. It is like a spread-out pancake, extending in all directions, so vast that there is no end in sight. The sea water cannot be seen at all. If you hadn't smelled the sea breeze, you would have thought you were still on land.
Qin Sang couldn't help but think of the legend of the giant tortoise. This fairy city seemed to be laid out on a tortoise shell. Xu and Wei were two of the seven northern Xuanwu stars. There must be a reason why this city was named after them.
Xuwei City is the capital of Kanzhou among the Eight Heavenly States. It is located in the East China Sea. It is said that the territory of Kanzhou is almost all in the sea and is composed of islands.
"Brother Qin, have you sensed the will of the giant turtle?"
Su Nu walked out from behind Qin Sang. She was very interested in the legend of the giant turtle. She had just tried to probe her spiritual consciousness deep into the ground, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and was no different from anywhere else.
Qin Sang shook his head. "The giant turtle that supports an immortal city has an unimaginable level of cultivation, which is beyond our reach. Even if it is still alive, Xuwei City will not allow others to disturb its slumber, and will definitely set up a large formation."
Jian Nu and Gu Ya followed behind them.
Gu Ya was one step closer to her master and could hardly hide her excitement.
The sword slave was not disturbed by external things. He just glanced at it lightly and then withdrew his gaze. His mind never left his natal spirit sword.
After doing some inquiries and understanding the layout of Xuwei City, Qin Sang naturally went to the Five Elements Alliance first.
Xuwei City is oval in shape as a whole, and its interior is divided into areas like the patterns of a tortoise shell. Like other large immortal cities, people in Xuwei City also need to use a small teleportation array to travel around.
Arriving at the area where the Five Elements Alliance was located, Qin Sang first rented a courtyard, settled everyone down, and then went to the Five Elements Alliance alone.
After Qin Sang left, there was nothing to do, so Su Nu prepared to call the two of them and go out for a walk.
Each of the eight Tianzhous has unique outputs. Most of the other Tianzhous are close to the sea, and Kanzhou is the only Tianzhou on the sea, with advantages that other Tianzhous cannot match.
Unexpectedly, Jian Nu had already entered into a state of meditation in his room.
"I don't know where Brother Qin found this idiot!"
Su Nu shook her head and didn't force it.
……
"Five Elements Alliance."
Qin Sang looked at a deep courtyard in front of him. He didn't expect that the Five Elements Alliance in Xuwei City was of this style.
No matter where in the Eight Heavenly States, the Five Elements Alliance's signboards have exactly the same shape and font, only the colors are different to indicate the hierarchy.
When Qin Sang entered the courtyard, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of forbidden formation, and there was indeed another world inside.
The courtyard is deep and covers a large area, and each courtyard has its own independent formation.
From the outside, the vegetation in Xuwei City is sparse and there is little green, but in the courtyard, there are clear springs flowing, creating a quiet and peaceful scene.
Immediately, a maid came forward. Qin Sang took out the token. The maid showed a respectful look on her face and took Qin Sang to the side porch. After walking for a while, they came to a small courtyard with an octagonal stone pavilion in the middle.
"Elder Qin, please wait in the pavilion. I will go and invite Elder You."
The maid bowed and withdrew.
Entering this room, Qin Sang sensed the pure breath of earth fire and knew that there must be a superior fire room in the courtyard.
"If Xuwei City was built on the back of a turtle, why is there an underground fire vein? The spiritual energy in the city is so strong, where does the spiritual vein come from? Could it be that the vitality was plundered from the giant turtle's body?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Qin Sang's mind.
After a while, Qin Sang sensed someone approaching. He looked outside the pavilion and saw a man in black clothes walking slowly towards him. He had a cold expression, a muscular body and black hair. His age was unknown. He must be Elder You.
This person's cultivation level is similar to mine. The leader of the Five Elements Alliance in Kanzhou should be someone else. However, I am not qualified to be treated as a guest of honor by such a person. It is appropriate for me to be received by Elder You.
The elders of the Five Elements Alliance are also divided into different categories. People like Qin Sang only have the title of guest official and have no right to interfere in the affairs of the alliance.
Elder You holds great power in the alliance. If he is sent to other immortal cities, he will be a local lord and no force will dare to underestimate him.
Qin Sang stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Elder You."
"Elder Qin is polite."
Elder You returned the greeting, and the sternness on his face eased a little. After the host and guest were separated, he went straight to the point, "Elder Qin, you came from Tianzhou? I wonder what's the important matter? Do you need help from the alliance?"
For every guest elder, the Five Elements Alliance will try its best to meet their demands as long as they are not excessive.
Seeing that Elder You didn't like beating around the bush, Qin Sang explained his purpose, "Qin has been living without a fixed place, wandering around, which is not a long-term plan. This time I came to Kanzhou to see if there is a suitable place for cultivation. I wonder if the alliance has a detailed sea map for Qin to see?"
Elder You was invigorated upon hearing this, "Elder Qin plans to stay in Kanzhou for a long time?"
If a guest elder passing by can't be of much help to them, they can just let him off for the sake of courtesy.
If the other party is prepared to take root in Kansas, that is another matter and it is worth the effort to win him over.
"I wonder what Elder Qin's plan is, to seek shelter in a certain place, or to open up a place of his own? If it is the former, there are several idle caves in the alliance for Elder Qin to choose from. In addition, I have been practicing in Kanzhou since I was a child. Because of the relationship in the alliance, I have contacts with many famous sects, and I can also introduce them to Elder Qin. With Elder Qin's ability, as long as the news is released, those sects will definitely rush to invite you. Elder Qin can rest assured that our alliance does not have so many restrictions, and there is no conflict between the two."
Elder You was indeed considering Qin Sang.
Qin Sang did not comment, "Qin doesn't know much about Kanzhou, I want to learn more about it before making a decision."
"This is as it should be. I was reckless," Elder You nodded and immediately ordered someone to bring the nautical chart.
The sea map was engraved on a jade slip, and Qin Sang could get a glimpse of the entire picture with just a touch of his spiritual sense.
It seemed that Elder You did not use this to embarrass him and took out the sea charts of the entire Kanzhou.
There were dots of light on the nautical chart, like stars, marking the important immortal cities and famous sects in Kanzhou.
Elder You explained that the other blank spaces were not ownerless, but the situation was unstable and they changed owners every once in a while. Since they were not big forces, the impact was not big and he was too lazy to mark them in detail.
Even in the eight great states, stability is relative.
There was not much information to be found on the sea chart. If Qin Sang really wanted to open a temple here, he would have to go around in person. He naturally did not have so much time, so he took a quick look and looked towards the eastern border of Kanzhou, but found that there was not much information outside.
The location of the sea of fog, which he was most concerned about, was not found.
Qin Sang flicked his finger, and his true essence manifested a sea map, pointing to a fairy city on the eastern border. He asked curiously, "Is this the farthest branch of our alliance?"
This city was built on the Sleepless Island, hence the name, Sleepless City.
Wumian City has a teleportation array leading to other immortal cities, which is almost close to the border of Kanzhou. The same is true for other immortal cities. These immortal cities are like the gateways to Kanzhou, firmly guarding here.
Judging from Elder You’s tone, Kanzhou hasn’t expanded its territory for a long time.
"The situation at sea does not seem optimistic..."
Qin Sang thought to himself.
The Five Elements Alliance has a branch in Wuyushan in the dark area outside of Duizhou, but there is no branch outside of Kanzhou.
Elder You looked at where Qin Sang pointed and nodded in response. At the same time, he vaguely guessed Qin Sang's intention, thinking that this person might not want to be restricted and wanted to open a Taoist temple in the deep sea.
"Elder Qin has just arrived in Kanzhou, so he doesn't know much. Apart from Tianzhou, the surrounding areas are generally dominated by our human race. Under the influence of the Great Zhou, we can communicate. Kanzhou is different. Sea monsters are rampant. There are countless monster tribes living in the vast ocean, and the East China Sea aquatic creatures are countless..."
As he spoke, Elder You seemed to recall something, and said with a sigh, "I have heard a saying since I was a child. It is said that the Sea Central Plains is not our human territory. It relied on the continuous reinforcements sent by the Great Teleportation Array to gain a foothold and gradually developed into Tianzhou. There is a Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, which commands all monsters and is the king of the East China Sea aquatic creatures. However, I have practiced for thousands of years, and I can't remember how many monsters have caused chaos, but I have never seen a real dragon coming out of the Dragon Palace."
"Real dragon?"
Qin Sang looked serious.
Many legends mention the existence of real dragons, all of which are sacred beasts and auspicious beasts favored by the destiny of heaven and earth. If there are real dragons in the world, they must be top-notch powerful ones.
The situation in the East China Sea is very complicated.
There are the eight great heavenly states of the human race, the alien race in the foggy sea, the mysterious Dragon Palace, and who knows how many other races and forces there are.
Elder You also separated a wisp of his true energy and attached it to the edge of the sea chart. A mist rose up and it turned into a sea chart again.
However, the content of this nautical chart is much simpler and more vague than that of Kansas.
Qin Sang discovered that there were also human sects and forces inside, and there were quite a few of them.
“This map was drawn ten years ago. The situation in the deep sea is more changeable than in Kansas City. It’s time to re-explore.
“Elder Qin, please take a look. These sects were all founded by our human race. They are all powerful and have a long history. It is said that there are unknown peerless masters who are cultivating in the deep sea.
“But Elder Qin, don’t think that just because there are no Great Zhoutian Laws, you can be unrestrained. Our cultivation level is not high enough to allow us to be unbridled.
"If you want to gain a foothold there, race is not the first priority. You must have enough strength to deter foreign enemies, so you have to form an alliance with other forces. There are also rules within the alliance, which may be more stringent than the Great Zhoutian Law.
"As I just said, there is no peaceful place in the East China Sea!"
Qin Sang followed Elder You's instructions and looked one by one, and found that the deeper into the sea, the weaker the power of the human race.
There are also monster tribes there, resulting in a situation where humans and other races live together, and I don't know whether they can live in peace.
Suddenly, Qin Sang's heart moved when he saw a mark made by Elder You in the distant sea, which had the words "Fog Sea" on it.
