Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Undersea Secret Realm, From the New Continent
’The Mine-Hunting Jellyfish is dead...’
The Third-Order native, sitting cross-legged and lying in wait on the seabed, had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
A ghostly blue light flickered within his eyes, and a few fragnted images appeared before him.
It was the scene of the Ghostly Flood Dragon activating its "Hell’s Anthem"!
’This ship... a Second-Order Spirit Ship?’
’But it doesn’t belong to the Cyan Profound Sect... a demon-hunting family from nearby?’
’It’s fine as long as I wasn’t exposed... As for the Mine-Hunting Jellyfish, a lightning-attribute mutant species... It’s a bit of a sha, but so be it.’
The Third-Order native shook his head, his expression quite calm.
To hear him speak, it seed that a Sea Successor Mutant Species that was close to, or even surpassed, a Heaven-grade bloodline was nothing more than a sowhat valuable, disposable pawn.
Why?
Even across the entire Yaoguang Islands, spirit beasts with Heaven-grade bloodlines were extrely rare and valuable.
Even distant Golden Core sects, and even Nascent Soul factions, would place great importance on Heaven-grade demon beasts!
Why?
Why could this secretive Third-Order native, who didn’t even possess a single Spirit Vein, speak of it so casually?
And at that mont!
Suddenly, right before the Third-Order native’s eyes, deep within the boundless, pitch-black, and abyssal undersea canyon—
HUM!
Like a spark in the dead of night, a faint, ghostly blue light ignited!
And this speck of light was instantly captured by the Third-Order native’s vision, which had undergone a transcendent transformation!
"It’s here!"
The Third-Order native focused his full attention, his expression incredibly solemn.
The ghostly blue light grew brighter and continued to expand, forming a vortex of water in the pitch-black canyon!
The vortex spun, and a mbrane of light erged.
In its very center, a narrow passage, several inches wide and high, shockingly appeared!
An aura that seed to hail from before ti immorial, steeped in the vicissitudes of history, wafted out from the passage.
It seed utterly out of place with the current world!
This kind of feeling was usually only found in places that had ford during the Ancient Era—ancient mystic realms and Grotto Heavens that had preserved much of the world’s original appearance and unique atmosphere from that ti.
The mont the passage ford, the Third-Order native moved!
His figure flashed, and he thrust his arm into the passage with lightning speed!
TSSSS!
So kind of traceless restriction activated at that mont.
The Third-Order native’s body had been tempered through countless trials, making it even stronger than that of a Crystallized Realm True Person.
In an instant, dozens of wounds deep enough to reveal bone appeared, and blood gushed out like a spring!
However, he remained expressionless.
Despite the excruciating pain, he showed no sign of retreat. He moved his five fingers, as if to grab sothing!
HUM!
He pulled an egg-sized piece of Sea Successor Remains, shimring with a ghostly blue luster, out of the passage!
Imdiately after, his figure shot backward.
The ghostly blue passage closed, and the vortex vanished.
Once again, this patch of the seabed was shrouded in darkness.
With a solemn expression, the Third-Order native clutched the Sea Successor Remains in his hand, headed for the surface, and made his way to the island.
...
Deep within the island.
A dense forest lood.
Dozens of simple wooden houses, along with even more thatched huts, stood in a clearing, enclosed by a wooden wall and fence.
A small native tribe of only about a thousand people lived here.
As the Third-Order native walked into the tribe, he was t with gazes of worship and gratitude.
"Your Highness Navasen..."
"Your Highness Navasen..."
Everyone, young and old, man and woman, bowed to him solemnly to show their respect.
One could feel that this respect was not born of fear for his power, but ca from the heart.
If not for the appearance of ’Navasen’, several years ago, their tribe would have perished due to the surging number of demon beasts in the surrounding waters and a food shortage!
Navasen nodded in acknowledgnt to each of them.
Then, he arrived at the center of the tribe.
It was the only stone structure in the entire settlent.
The building had not been completed long ago.
The materials used were not precious, but the carvings were exquisite and its form was stately, exuding a hint of a temple’s solemn majesty.
Navasen pushed the door open and walked into the temple.
An opening had been left in the stone temple’s do, allowing sunlight to stream in and illuminate a shrine.
A native woman with wheat-colored skin and a solemn expression was kneeling on a soft leather mat before the shrine, praying.
Her clothes were exquisite and finely crafted, no less sophisticated than the robes of a cultivator from the Yaoguang region.
Furthermore, they were inscribed with Spiritual Power patterns of a kind completely different from the Yao Guang Immortal Dao System.
This was a level of craftsmanship that the nearly-extinct natives of the islands could never possibly possess!
"Priestess Marina..."
"Your Highness Navasen."
Marina rose and bowed. Her accent was sowhat strange.
It sounded like the native language of the islands, yet also like a similar but different tongue.
"A short while ago, the passage opened, and I obtained another ’Sea Demon Stone’..."
Navasen stepped forward and handed over the Sea Successor Remains.
Marina accepted it with great solemnity.
She returned to the shrine and placed the Sea Successor Remains upon it.
Then, she began chanting a tongue-twisting incantation, performing a sacrificial dance as part of so ancient ritual.
A short ti later, the Sea Successor Remains flashed with a fluorescent light.
So faint trace of activity within it had been awakened!
"It is done... Just throw it into the sea."
Looking quite exhausted, Marina handed the Sea Successor Remains back.
"According to current estimates, within twenty years at the earliest, this sea region will be able to nurture multiple ’Third-Echelon’ demon beasts, as well as many ’Second-Echelon’ ones."
"The Curse Attraction I embedded within the ’Sea Demon Stone’ will make them naturally docile toward you and allow you to command them unconditionally one ti."
"Stirring up a super-massive Beast Tide should... be enough to breach the ’Weiyuan Immortal City’ you ntioned."
"Thank you, Priestess Marina."
Navasen said earnestly, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"If you hadn’t appeared, I would still be trapped by my legacy, unable to step into the Third Order."
"And I would never have had a thod like activating the ’Sea Demon Stone’ to take revenge on the Cyan Profound Sect and Weiyuan Immortal City..."
Marina shook her head, not taking the credit.
"To be able to rely on an incomplete ’Deer Demon’ legacy, use the Path of Totems to switch your cultivation to ’Bloodline True Form’, and step into the ’Third Echelon’ is not my achievent. It is a testant to your own profound foundation, Your Highness the Prince."
"Besides, helping you is helping ourselves."
Marina gave a bitter smile.
"If not for losing a political struggle this ti and being exiled to the Sea of Fog to fend for myself, I’m afraid I never would have imagined that the ’Endless Sea of Mist’—the one to the north of the ’Divine Continent’ that has existed for millennia, devoured countless lives, and from which no one returns—"
"...is actually... slowly dissipating?"
"In a hundred years at the latest, the Endless Sea of Mist will dissipate completely, losing its ’endless’ quality."
"When that ti cos, I’m afraid one won’t need to rely on luck to survive by a hair’s breadth as I did. Instead, with just a normal voyage... the fleets of the Yaoguang Islands will be able to reach the ’Divine Continent’ in a matter of months!"
"That’s far too close..."
"And yet the kings and the temples are completely unaware of this."
"They are still indulging in mutual conquest and bloody sacrifices, continuing their intoxicated and degenerate lives..."
...
...
I’ll release the other two Chapters later, around 5 or 6 PM, all at once.
Had sothing to take care of in real life this morning, sorry about that.
Also, I’m about to start a major new plotline and need to carefully go over the outline.
