Chapter 2062: Fog Year
"Old Wu, what you said is too arbitrary," someone next to him interjected, "Are we the only ones who know that there are good things in the Mahayana Dojo? Those powerful people won't be tempted? Maybe countless masters have already gone in and turned the source sea upside down, but we just don't know about it."
The boat owner was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Those powerful people come and go, it has nothing to do with us. I also want to let Fellow Daoist Qin know how dangerous it is in there, so that he won't underestimate it and lose his life in vain."
"That makes sense!"
The man nodded and agreed, "Logically speaking, the Source Sea should be a holy place for practicing poison, but those poison practitioners only dare to wander around the periphery. I heard that this is the case, and many people have disappeared without a trace after entering. Now there are all kinds of rumors, and the more they spread, the more weird they become."
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoists. I'll make a note of it."
Qin Sang bowed, thanked him, and asked curiously, "Since Yuanhai is so powerful, how did such a force decline, and even the inheritance was broken, but which powerful enemy did they provoke?"
"Who knows?"
The boat owner shrugged his shoulders and squeezed out the venom in the sac, and the strange fish died. He lifted the fish head again, broke off all the sharp teeth, and kicked the fish carcass back into the sea. The bloody smell attracted fish to eat it, and a white belly instantly appeared on the sea surface.
The boat owner burst into laughter at the sight, and threw the fish teeth in his hand to everyone, "Whoever sees it gets a share!"
Then he said to Qin Sang, "Whether the legend is true or not, only God knows. Maybe it is all made up by people. Even if there is such a force, fellow Daoist, look at the location of Yuanhai. What's so strange about it?"
This place is located between three tribes, and it can be said to be a place of four wars. Even now, there is no peace, let alone in ancient times. If the source sea is in such a place, once it shows signs of decline, it will be destroyed at any time.
"Not entirely," the man before began to contradict the ship owner again, "Some people have seen mysterious human cultivators in places farther than the Origin Sea. It is said that some hidden sects do not want to be under the control of the Great Zhou, so they escaped to the outer sea and have a long heritage. They are closer to the alien races, so why are they safe and sound? What exactly happened in ancient times is hard to explain now..."
Qin Sang listened to their conversation with great interest. Although they were all rumors and legends, he could get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. The situation in the East China Sea was far more complicated than he had imagined.
What surprised him most was the Poison God.
After ascending to the universe, Qin Sang had heard very few rumors about Mahayana cultivators, most of which were fragmentary and mixed with many mythological colors. This time was the clearest, even with a title.
Could the Poison God be related to the "Poison God Canon"?
Qin Sang thought of the magic of the "Poison God Canon". As soon as he got this method, he knew that it must be a superior method.
It is by relying on this method that one's cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds during the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang sent a message to the sword slave, "Daoyou, have you ever heard Senior Tianyue mention the "Poison God Canon"?"
Qin Sang had never asked Master Tianyue for confirmation, but it was likely that Master Tianyue made special arrangements after learning that he had the ability to resist poison, leaving behind the "Poison God Book" to lure him to get it.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the first time he entered the Gushan Zhizhi Temple, he was able to obtain a set of skills that was extremely suitable for him, and also came with a holy place for cultivation.
I don’t know where Master Tianyue got it. Has he been to Yuanhai, or did the Poison God also fall in Ziwei Palace?
"I have never heard the master mention it," the sword slave responded quickly.
At this time, the treasure ship drifted further and further south. Qin Sang stood by the side of the ship and looked at the source sea.
Since he only had a fragment of the "Poison God Canon" in his hand and was missing the part above the Refinement Void Stage, he gave up on this technique after entering the Refinement Void Stage. Unexpectedly, he got another clue now.
"Countless Taoists have come one after another to enter the outer sea, so they must have found some treasures related to the Origin Sea. Is there anyone who has collected these things?"
Hearing Qin Sang's question, the boat owner looked at him carefully and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you coming for the Source Sea?"
Qin Sang smiled and said, "Who in the world would not be tempted by the Mahayana inheritance?"
"You are quite frank, fellow Taoist."
The ship owner nodded, "There are countless treasures in the open sea, and countless of them are of unknown origin. Every family has some old items that have been kept in the bottom of their boxes for many years and no one has cared about them. Fellow Taoist, go and ask around, maybe you can find them."
Qin Sang thanked him, followed his advice, and went to ask the merchants on the ship.
The treasure ship sailed in the air, made a big turn, and successfully arrived at the south side of Yuanhai.
One day, the ship owner was driving the treasure ship to the sky above a stone island. Seeing the mess below, he frowned slightly and muttered, "We have changed the place again!"
He took out a compass and activated it with his spiritual power. After a moment, he received a response and steered the treasure ship to change direction. Soon, a sea fog appeared in front of him. After passing through the fog for a while, an island came into view.
There are neatly built houses on the island, and almost all of them are filled with human monks. It is a market town.
Qin Sang stood at the bow of the ship until the treasure ship stopped at the shore, informed the ship owner, and then floated off the ship.
As the market needs to be moved frequently, the merchants here are too lazy to go through the trouble of decorating, and the stores are very straightforward and simple.
Qin Sang randomly picked one and walked into the store.
The store was very deserted, with no other customers. A young servant in green clothes was reading a book with great interest. He only noticed Qin Sang when he approached. He quickly stood up and said with a smile, "I was so engrossed in reading that I neglected you, Your Excellency. Please forgive me! Is there anything you like?"
Qin Sang looked around and saw that the most common items in the store were various kinds of elixirs. He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Have you received any treasures or fragments of spells of unknown origin? Bring them all here."
The servant was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Immortal. I will go get it right away."
He quickly returned to the back hall and soon came out carrying a few mustard seed bags, "Please have a look, Immortal."
Qin Sang opened a mustard seed bag to check it out. The servant stood silently beside him, his face full of expectation. These were things that no one in the store wanted, so he took them and smashed them in his hands, and he would sell them as much as he could.
When his spiritual sense swept through, he found that the first mustard seed bag contained various fragments of magic weapons. Some of them looked extraordinary, but they had lost their power and were of no value.
He opened the second mustard seed bag and checked them one by one in the same way, only spending a little more time on the mustard seed bag that contained various jade slips and ancient books.
If this Poison God is that Poison God, then there must be some secret techniques in the Source Sea that are based on the "Poison God Canon". Even if only fragments are left, he can see any connection with the "Poison God Canon".
Unfortunately, after looking through everything, I didn't find any such secret technique.
He went to the next store, and continued searching one by one, and finally bought a few interesting little items, but his real purpose was not achieved.
The treasure ship stayed on the island for several days before setting off again. Every time it traveled a certain distance, it would stop at a market town, during which time some people would get on and off the ship.
Every time this happened, Qin Sang would go down to investigate.
Even Su Nu could see that something was wrong with him, "Brother Qin, do you think the legend of Yuan Hai is true?"
She had originally scoffed at this legend, but Qin Sang's attitude made her somewhat shaken.
Qin Sang brought up the same remarks he had made to Captain Wu.
Su Nu said, "Since Brother Qin is interested, why don't I accompany Brother Qin to Yuanhai for a visit."
Qin Sang closed the bamboo scroll in his hand, looked at the source sea, and pondered. Finally, he shook his head gently, "Forget it."
He had been busy for so long, but he hadn't found any signs of connection with the "Poison God Canon", not even a decent poison skill. Could such a powerful force really disappear completely without leaving any trace?
Of course, it could also be that he arrived too late and someone had already 'cleaned up' it.
Regardless of whether the Source Sea is as dangerous as the legend says, he didn't get any clues, and if he entered the Source Sea, he could only wander around like a headless fly. It would take more than one or two years to explore the Source Sea, so it was obviously inappropriate.
Qin Sang was originally so interested in the name 'Poison God', and it was not worth it to take risks for this.
You know, there is another most important reason why he gave up his poison skills: the poison bead was broken!
If the poison bead was still there, he might really go deep into the source sea to explore.
Without the poison beads to suppress the toxins in the body, "The Poison God Canon" is just a superior martial art and it is impossible for it to have the same miraculous effects as before.
Because he has practiced poison skills, Qin Sang knows more ways to deal with external poisons than his peers. However, if the Source Sea is as dangerous as the legend says, he may not be able to escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang gave up the idea of entering the Source Sea. Even if he wanted to explore the Source Sea, he would have to wait until he found the Storm Realm and improved his merits before considering it.
However, during the rest of the journey, Qin Sang was still looking for information everywhere, and finally it was time to disembark.
The treasure ship has sailed around the Source Sea for most of the way and will continue to head east, while Qin Sang and his companions will head north to look for the teleportation array.
After getting off the boat, Qin Sang summoned a magic boat, and he and Su Nu took turns controlling it, trying their best to conceal the aura, and they had a safe journey.
In the Dharma Boat.
Su Nu was holding a sea chart, and Si Lu drew a circle on it. They were not far from here now.
"Brother Qin," Su Nu called out, "the route ahead is that of the aliens. Fellow Daoist Si Lu ran into the aliens here. Why don't we put Gu Ya and the others down, and the three of us go investigate first. It will be easier to escape if we encounter an accident, and then we can come back to pick them up after we find the teleportation array."
"it is good."
Qin Sang found a deserted island and dropped Gu Ya and the others off. Then the three of them hid their figures and quietly entered the sea area.
They were very vigilant at first, but did not notice any danger after a while. It seemed that the aliens had not yet realized that Si Lu came here by teleportation array.
However, according to Silu, even if the other party noticed something, there was no need to worry, because the place where they met the other party was not near the teleportation array.
After some searching, Si Lu finally determined the direction. He continued to fly with Qin Sang and the others for a while, and a large group of islands and reefs appeared in front of them.
There are tens of thousands of islands and reefs scattered all over the place, but each one is small. The largest one is less than ten miles in radius, and the small ones are barely enough to stand on.
The tides here are surging, occasionally flooding over the islands and reefs, making it difficult for plants to grow, the spiritual energy is thin, and it is a barren land.
"right here?"
Qin Sang used his spiritual sense to scan the area, but did not sense any unusual fluctuations.
"These islands and reefs are part of the teleportation array. Please wait a moment," Si Lu nodded, and his figure flashed and landed on an island and reef.
Next, his figure flashed continuously, appearing on the islands and reefs one after another, performing some kind of seal. Qin Sang and Su Nu watched his movements carefully. After a while, there was no fluctuation, but the scenery in front of them was slightly different.
Only then did Qin Sang and Su Nu confirm that there was indeed a spiritual formation here.
"What a masterpiece!"
Qin Sang was full of praise.
All the islands and reefs are very ordinary, and even the spiritual energy is very thin, but they form a large formation. I don’t know whether it is the magic of heaven and earth, or the person who set up the formation has a very high level of realm.
Finally, Silu landed on a reef.
This reef looked bare and covered with moss before, but now the formation finally revealed its true appearance out of thin air!
"In order to prevent accidents, we made some adjustments, but this formation is too complicated. Changshi Xia considered it again and again before daring to destroy this corner," Si Lu pointed to a corner of the spiritual formation.
Qin Sang flew forward, silently deduced, and said, "Empress Xia is very sensible. This place will not be difficult to repair."
Su Nu said, "Brother Qin, give me the boat, you guys repair the formation, I'll bring them over."
After Su Nu left, Qin Sang and Si Lu became busy. When she brought people back, the formation had been repaired.
Looking at this teleportation array, Gu Ya was extremely excited. The Storm Realm was getting closer and closer. She had been wandering outside for hundreds of years and could finally return to her master!
"Let's start the formation!"
Qin Sang nodded heavily.
Si Lu stepped forward and inserted the spirit stone. With a humming sound, the runes in the formation lit up one by one, and spiritual light shone brightly.
The aura becomes brighter and brighter.
"pass!"
Si Lu concentrated on sensing it, her face showing joy, and she shouted. The next moment, the formation under their feet shook violently, and they felt dazed and engulfed by spiritual light.
Qin Sang calmly experienced the feeling brought by the teleportation in the void. Except for the large teleportation formation between the eight Tianzhous, this should be the farthest distance.
The feeling this time is similar to the teleportation formation between the immortal cities, just a little more violent, but completely different from the large teleportation formation between the eight heavenly states.
It was a feeling as if traveling through time and space, which showed how special those large teleportation arrays were.
No wonder there are only a few of them left today.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Qin Sang suddenly felt the pressure on his body disappear. He opened his eyes and found himself in a dark cave.
Everyone woke up one after another. Although the brothers Qingjia and Qingyi had broken through to the fourth level of Yuan Realm, they still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, they adjusted themselves quickly.
Out of caution, Qin Sang made some adjustments to the teleportation array, and everyone walked out of the cave.
The stone door was tightly closed. Si Lu stepped forward, tapped the stone door several times with her fingers, and gently pushed it open.
'call! '
A cold wind brought a white mist into the cave.
Qin Sang saw the scene outside the cave. He saw a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, with fog floating around. The extremely thick white fog covered everything.
If you don't activate your spiritual power, you can't even see things ten feet away with your naked eyes. Creatures without cultivation cannot survive here at all.
Si Lu frowned slightly, carefully sensed for a while, and said: "I forgot before, now it is the foggy year."
