Chapter 430: Chapter 149: Get Straight to the Point, Kill Him
In the following days, Zhou Heng exchanged a few more conversations with the girl from the Winged-people Tribe.
He also learned from her so ancient legends from other aspects.
At the sa ti, he ca to know the na of the Winged-person girl.
It was “Lan Xia.”
It was said that she was nad this because a blue mist appeared in the sky at the ti of her birth, prompting her parents to give her that na.
Once they reached the land of Yu Zhu Country, Zhou Heng parted ways with Lan Xia.
He set foot upon the land of Yu Zhu Country alone.
Thus, he officially arrived in the countries of the Eastern Sea.
…
Yu Zhu Country is a nation that is a vassal state to the rmaid Kingdom.
The vast majority of the people in this country are ordinary humans without exotic bloodlines, but they are skilled at differentiating good and bad pearls and can sell the pearls that co from the rmaid Kingdom at very high prices, which is why they are popular with the rmaid Kingdom.
Thus, Yu Zhu Country simply beca a vassal to the rmaid Kingdom and, by selling their pearls for money, the people could exchange for daily necessities and enjoy a stable living environnt.
After arriving here, Zhou Heng discovered that the people lived in great abundance, dwelling in resplendent hos and enjoying a variety of food without having to work, living leisurely and carefree.
It was only when the pearls from the rmaid Kingdom were delivered that the people of Yu Zhu Country would beco busy. They would select pearls, set prices on different ones, and sell them to rchant ships from the Central Lands.
Zhou Heng walked the streets of Yu Zhu Country and would sotis encounter people trying to sell him pearls at the markets.
However, he wasn’t interested in that.
The reason he had disembarked in Yu Zhu Country was partly because it was the final stop for the rchant ship, but also he wanted to find a way to get to the rmaid Kingdom from here.
Previously, while he was on the rchant ship, Zhou Heng had learned from Lan Xia that rfolk were different from many exotic races.
Exotic races were typically humans who, during the Dark Era, had their appearances changed by various forbidden experints and other reasons, which gave them special abilities.
But rfolk were different.
The legend said they were one of the original inhabitants of this Eastern Sea, with so rfolk even claiming their existence predated the ancient Heavenly Court. Their ancestors had supposedly witnessed the establishnt of the Heavenly Court across the Thirty-Six Heavens.
This made Zhou Heng quite curious.
If the rmaid Tribe were indeed so ancient, they must know many secrets and be of high exploratory value.
But neither the Pure Yang Palace nor the records of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer had the precise location of the rmaid Kingdom.
The nation seed to be intentionally hiding itself.
No one knew its whereabouts.
Very mysterious.
…
“Excuse , do you know how one might go to the rmaid Kingdom?” Zhou Heng stopped a man by the seashore of Yu Zhu Country and asked earnestly.
“I don’t know.” The man, who appeared to be in his thirties, showed a look of disgust upon being questioned in this way and left hastily, quickening his pace.
This was the tenth person Zhou Heng had asked.
“Yu Zhu Country seems to have a great taboo against outsiders asking for the whereabouts of the rmaid Kingdom,” Zhou Heng concluded. He had never expected to get a direct answer in Yu Zhu Country about how to get to the rmaid Kingdom.
If it were really that simple, the rmaid Nation wouldn’t be as mysterious as it is now.
The reason Zhou Heng wanted to ascertain the attitudes of the people from the Jade Pearl Nation towards this matter was that he planned to use this opportunity to collect the thought fragnts that spilled out of their minds.
People who have not cultivated their Divine Souls will involuntarily think of certain things when they are talking about them, and because they lack the thods to control their thoughts and spiritual power, thought fragnts will naturally escape from their bodies.
Under normal circumstances, these thought fragnts are extrely minute, and even the Divine Sense of a Great Grandmaster is unable to collect these fragnts, let alone extract useful information from them.
Zhou Heng, however, could.
Although he had not yet successfully cultivated the True Spirit Heart Sutra, he could still use the insights he had gained recently to collect thought fragnts.
Once he had collected enough thought fragnts, he could cast spells to extract information and refine the knowledge about the rmaid Nation from the cognition of the people of the Jade Pearl Nation.
With this thod, he might be able to find the location of the rmaid Nation.
…
As there were quite a few people who ca to the Jade Pearl Nation to inquire about the location of the rmaid Nation, Zhou Heng did not stand out.
After continuing for three days, he collected nurous thought fragnts and obtained the approximate location of the rmaid Nation, as well as so basic details.
The rmaid Nation lay three million miles east of the Jade Pearl Nation, concealed in a different dinsion of space by Heaven-Born Prohibitions and postnatal Secret Techniques.
Unless one had special ans, even Celestial Powers were unable to forcibly enter the rmaid Nation.
However, the rmaid Nation had recently fallen on hard tis; it seed that they had acquired a certain treasure related to an ancient legacy, which attracted the attention of several Loose Immortals.
Any rfolk that ventured out were inevitably seized by the Loose Immortals coveting the treasure, who would then press them for information about the rmaid Nation.
As the number of captured rfolk increased, those coveting the treasure gradually discerned the location of the rmaid Nation and surrounded it directly.
But the Heaven-Born Prohibition and the postnatal Secret Techniques guarding the rmaid Nation were so formidable that these Loose Immortals couldn’t make their way in and had to wait outside for an opportunity to present itself.
When Zhou Heng arrived, he saw five Loose Immortals floating above the sea.
These Loose Immortals seed to have settled down there, each with a different posture, so ditating and circulating mana, so resting with closed eyes, nurturing their Magic Weapons, and others drinking to the sky or leisurely reading books.
They were not from the sa faction, but because they were unable to enter the rmaid Nation, the five Loose Immortals had temporarily ford this harmonious scene.
Yet, as soon as Zhou Heng arrived, the harmony was imdiately disrupted.
The world of five people suddenly had a sixth.
Naturally, things could not end well.
Therefore, the eyes of all five Loose Immortals turned towards Zhou Heng, all filled with hostility.
“What brings you here, sir?” one of the elderly Loose Immortals with white hair narrowed his eyes, sizing up Zhou Heng, and suddenly laughed, waving his hand, “rely a Grandmaster, this is not the place for you. Go back.”
His words were filled with disdain.
After all, as forr Celestial n, looking down on a re Fifth Rank Grandmaster was not too excessive.
“That’s right, this is not the place for him.” Another Loose Immortal, a woman who appeared to be in her twenties, furrowed her brows and said in a stern voice, “I agree with Master Wang’s opinion, let the child leave on his own.”
With her level of Divine Sense Perception as a Loose Immortal, she could clearly sense that Zhou Heng’s real age was only in his twenties, and to her, who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, he indeed was just a child.
“No, we can’t let him leave just like that.” At this mont, another tall male Loose Immortal stood out, his expression grim as he looked at Zhou Heng.
“The whereabouts of the rmaid Nation took us so much ti and effort to discover; what if this kid leaves and deliberately spreads the location of the rmaid Nation on purpose?
“Let’s be direct, kill him to prevent future trouble.”
