Chapter 973: He can do anything |
Four figures stood motionless on the sea surface, their gazes slightly cold.
The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and colossal tsunamis surged from all directions, yet there was not a hint of sea breeze, eerily strange.
Boom!
A magnificent azure lightning bolt split the night sky in an instant, illuminating an area of hundreds of thousands of miles as if it were daytime. Countless small sea beasts had long since fled the area.
However, beneath the sea surface, massive bodies moved, hiding a terrifying glow.
"This aura..."
Song Heng's eyes rarely showed a trace of seriousness as he spoke in a deep voice, "Lingzhu Bichi, Lanwu Haihualin, and Fengmei! All are powerful Heavenly Sovereign sea spirits, their physical bodies comparable to demi-immortal forms, it's not easy to leave."
"Master Dao, could they be targeting Young Master Gu?"
Qionghua Shuiyu was secretly nervous. She was only at the early stage of Great Ascension, a respected figure in other heavenly domains, but in this ancient Wild Heaven Region, she could only protect herself.
She couldn't believe they were merely exploring an immortal tomb, attracting such Heavenly Sovereign-level powerhouses.
Just as Qionghua Shuiyu finished speaking, Gu Lisheng and Little Chi squinted slightly, their divine sense penetrating space, looking toward the sea surface beneath the azure lightning, sensing something amiss!
Song Heng and Qionghua Shuiyu's divine senses were also drawn there, avoiding probing any living beings, indicating they were merely passing by.
In the distance.
Torrential rain poured down on a figure, unable to manifest a mana shield. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice the faintly swaying shadow of a Dharma Aspect behind him, revealing him as a Heavenly Sovereign.
Yet he still tightly protected the infant in his arms, ensuring no harm came to him.
The infant reached out with both hands, babbling with laughter, seemingly trying to catch the rainwater flowing down the man's face.
In just an instant.
The four figures on the distant sea surface were suddenly enlightened, realizing that someone was engaged in a duel here, and it had nothing to do with them. What a coincidence!
"Heh, so that's it, they're not after us."
Song Heng breathed a sigh of relief, his round face breaking into a smile, "As expected of the Wild Heaven Region, there's conflict everywhere, but that person's face looks somewhat familiar."
"Fatty, who is it?" Gu Lisheng looked at Song Heng suspiciously, sneering, "You think you can make a connection here?"
"Ask Rengar if you don't believe me! This person once went with us to the Milky Way War, hey!"
Song Heng slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "Damn it, isn't this Qian Shan from the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, the young brother who followed the factory owner out of the Immortal Prison in his youth!"
"Roar~~ Fatty, yes, it's Qian Shan! It's him!"
Little Chi's eyes flashed with surprise, his mane trembling without wind, "How did he get chased here by so many powerhouses? Outrageous! They dare to touch Brother Xun and Brother Bull's young brother, does this Wild Heaven Region still want to exist?!"
"Little Chi, could this matter really alarm Chen Xun and Ximen Bull?"
Qionghua Shuiyu's eyes were filled with disbelief. The ancestors and Heavenly Sovereigns she knew were almost always indifferent to worldly matters, leaving the affairs of the younger generation to be handled on their own, not to embarrass themselves before the true self.
Not to mention immortals, she had never heard of any immortal in this grand world standing up for their juniors...
That revered identity was evident, but Little Chi's words still stirred a ripple in her heart.
"Shuiyu, don't overthink it, the factory owner would surely handle this matter." Song Heng took a deep breath, "He might even bring a group of powerhouses to personally come and smash your domain."
Having followed Chen Xun for many years, he knew some of his habits well. This person was the epitome of acting on a whim, talking about the demeanor of a powerhouse, the demeanor of an immortal Dao Ancestor...
That truly didn't exist. Just for the sake of seeking justice for the small beings of his small boundary, he dared to declare to the myriad clans and immortals across the Three Thousand Great Worlds that he would storm the Boundless Great World!
Such an existence, all irrationality, all seemingly laughable and incomprehensible matters, were absolutely normal for him.
Little Chi's sharp gaze nodded in agreement, "Fellow Daoist Shuiyu, even if you casually killed a chicken from the Five Aggregates Sect, rest assured, Brother Xun would mobilize the five domains and initiate a Wild Heaven Region war..."
"Huh?"
Qionghua Shuiyu covered her mouth in shock, suddenly turning to look at Qian Shan's side, "Such actions might increase too many unnecessary causalities, powerhouses seem to be most wary of such matters."
"Heh, Fellow Daoist Shuiyu, you're mistaken. Brother Xun is actually worried about not having enough causalities... looking for trouble elsewhere."
Little Chi chuckled lowly, glancing at the shocked Qionghua Shuiyu, "He and Brother Bull are quite strict with those who follow them. If someone seeks to involve him in their causalities, rest assured, it's definitely an evil cultivator!"
After speaking, it smiled meaningfully. Why did Brother Xun settle in the Wild Heaven Region, if not to freely slay demons and eliminate evils, restoring a clear sky to the world...
Qionghua Shuiyu tightly pressed her lips, recalling their encounter in the Xuanwei Heaven domain, these two were truly unique.
As for the fallen storage ring, it was naturally his, a matter of convenience.
Gu Lisheng remained silent on the matter, his memory somewhat jumbled, feeling as if he had known this person long, long ago...
Yet now he couldn't recall anything, only that familiar feeling lingered.
As he pondered, Qionghua Shuiyu took a step forward.
"Master Dao, that infant..." Qionghua Shuiyu's eyes sparkled, as if recalling some legend, "His pupils are unlike any living being, his lips bear innate inscriptions, and his arms seem to emit a medicinal fragrance, attracting powerful sea spirits."
"Dao medicine."
Song Heng squinted his eyes, a gleam flashing in them, he had noticed long ago, "This medicine has not long taken form, it seems intended for a Heavenly Sovereign, intercepted by Fellow Daoist Qian Shan."
"Fatty, what is Dao medicine?" Little Chi's pupils contracted, "How could a spiritual herb take the form of an infant?!"
"Dao medicine is not comparable to common spiritual herbs, this medicine embodies the essence of heaven and earth, each one has the power to defy fate, nurturing Dao medicine is essentially the process of cultivating a living being."
Song Heng spoke leisurely, his right hand already holding up the Treasure-Seeking Compass, "In the vast history of immortals, there have been instances of Dao medicine becoming immortals, but after their demise, they leave no immortal body, only returning to the heavens and earth."
"As the immortal path grows stronger, Dao medicine surviving and growing stronger on its own is simply impossible."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had seen something deeper.
This Dao medicine had taken the form of a human infant, and its mind was clearly incomplete, such a result had only one reason, a human being had fed themselves to the Dao medicine...
But to match the Dao medicine's spiritual root attributes, etc., how difficult it was, it was no exaggeration to say it required sacrificing a prodigy, but how was that possible?!
Song Heng looked from afar at the infant fiercely protected by Qian Shan, harboring some bad suspicions in his heart.
"Roar, you all better stop talking!"
Little Chi's eyes darted around, a lewd expression on his face, "Now that Qian Shan is in dire straits, we need to find a way to save him, let's quickly take him and run."
"Rengar, don't rush."
Song Heng's Treasure-Seeking Compass spun with a hum, his two fingers together, "This place is filled with killing intent, even the void is sealed, it's practically a trap..."
"Then we'll carve a path out, what is there to fear." Gu Lisheng spoke coldly, looking down on all sides, "Let it be known, I want to see who dares to touch us?!"
"Young Master Gu, be cautious." Qionghua Shuiyu softly stopped Gu Lisheng, knowing that when traveling outside, one shouldn't be arrogant and offend cultivators lightly.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a colossal eye appeared in the sky, carrying a nearly indifferent mockery.
A voice like thunder boomed, "Young brat, such arrogance, state your name!"
