Ask about the Immortal Way

Chapter 2300: First Entering the Source Sea

There is such a terrible enemy outside that even the boundary wall has been broken!

The continents that Qin Sang had visited were all prosperous. The monks were obsessed with the struggle for interests and were completely unaware that crises existed at all times, but were blocked by the powerful.

As the saying goes, if the sky collapses, there is always someone taller to hold it up. Although Qin Sang doesn't feel the pressure now, he still feels heavy.

Master Ning's performance shows that the powerful are not optimistic about the next demonic calamity.

Qin Sang is no longer a weakling and will not be sent to the battlefield without knowing why, but he still has no ability to control his own destiny.

When the devil's calamity comes, no one can remain immune.

What will be the fate of all living beings in this world if they cannot survive the devil’s calamity?

This is not what Qin Sang should consider. He just wants to protect himself and his relatives and friends when the devil calamity comes. Now all he can do is to improve his strength and become stronger!

"Therefore, the present is different from the past," Master Ning turned around, looked at Qin Sang, and said meaningfully, "The attitudes of all parties towards the Dao Court will no longer be the same as before. You should have heard that Qianzhou's implementation of the governance of good deeds was inspired by the Dao Court."

Hearing this, Qin Sang suddenly understood why Master Ning told him so many secrets.

The news of the broken boundary wall should not be spread, as it would cause a huge disturbance and make all the creatures in the world in a state of panic. Master Ning wanted to tell Dao Court through him that their situation was no longer the same as it was back then.

At the beginning, the Dao Court was besieged and all twenty-four main courts were lost, leaving only four secondary courts, and an entire world was sealed off.

"Junior brother, someone is coming."

Two young men wearing precious armor stood in front of a hall.

This is a teleported palace, and today it is their turn to guard it. Perhaps because they are too bored, one of them is drowsy.

The other young man sensed the fluctuations in the hall and hurriedly pushed his companion, and the two of them immediately stood up straight.

"Swish!"

The spiritual light shines in the hall.

When the spiritual light slowly dissipated, two people walked out of the hall.

The two young men were both disciples of Qingyang Temple. When they saw Shen Chen, they were about to pay their respects, but suddenly they saw Qin Sang and were shocked.

They had seen the portraits of Qingyang Temple's ancestors in the main hall.

"Disciple greets the Grandmaster! Greetings to Master Shen!"

There was a look of fanatical admiration on the two men's faces.

Today, Qingyang Temple still continues the previous practice, dividing the various lineages according to inheritance. Each lineage has a leader, and above him is the temple master Li Yufu.

"It's you two brothers," Shen Chen recognized them and called them forward to ask, "Has there been any trouble in the alliance recently?"

While Shen Chen was asking questions, Qin Sang spread out his spiritual sense and took in the surrounding scenery.

I still remember when Silu and I first came here, it was just a desolate sea area with tens of thousands of islands and reefs of various sizes, but they were all barren lands with no human traces.

Today, there is no trace of the old days. On some of the islands and reefs, various magnificent buildings have been built, some are planted with grass and trees and are lush and green, and some have been removed because they blocked the road.

With the teleportation array as the center, the islands and reefs were arranged layer by layer, with a well-arranged density and proper planning, forming the Ten Thousand Islands Array, which obviously took a lot of thought. There were many ships and sails around, and there were cultivators everywhere. As the headquarters of the Qingyang League, it would never let down the reputation of the Qingyang League.

The Qingyang League was founded over two hundred years ago. After two hundred years of development, every aspect of it had become sufficiently perfect and he no longer needed to worry about it.

At this moment, Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, and he saw a ball of Buddha's light appear in the air, and a monk walked out of it.

This man was wearing a cassock, had a scar on his head and a fair face. He looked younger than the two disciples of Qingyang Temple. He was the junior brother of Master Liaochen of Ziyun Mountain, and his Buddhist name was Liaofan.

"I am a poor monk, Liaofan, and I am honored to meet Master Qin."

Le Fan was alarmed by Qin Sang's spiritual consciousness and came to check. He recognized Qin Sang at a glance, his expression relaxed a little, and he saluted eleven times.

"Master Le Fan is polite. I am rude for disturbing your practice," Qin Sang bowed his head in return and looked him up and down. He saw that this monk was in the middle stage of Lianxu, but his aura was strong, and he estimated that he was not far from the late stage.

With such a strong man in charge of Qingyang League, they can rest assured. Moreover, the formation that Liaofan uses for cultivation is also a protective formation. Even if a strong enemy attacks, Liaofan can block the first wave of attacks, and then support will arrive.

"No problem!"

Liao Fan smiled and said, "I have long heard of Master Qin's reputation, and finally I have the honor of seeing his true appearance."

No matter Qin Sang's cultivation or his relationship with Master Ning, Le Fan did not dare to neglect Qin Sang in the slightest.

Ziyun Mountain is so dedicated to helping Qingyang League. On the one hand, it does see the benefits, and on the other hand, it is because of its importance to Qin Sang and Liuli. Of course, in the final analysis, it is still Master Ning.

At this time, the monks of Qingyang League also received the news, and several beams of light flew here.

Le Fan was not good at speaking. He greeted Qin Sang and then saluted eleven times before disappearing quietly.

"Gu Ya greets Senior Qin."

The leader was Gu Ya from the Xu Ling Sect.

As the current head of the Xu Ling Sect, she personally joined the Qing Yang League and held an important position. Moreover, the first branch of the Qing Yang League in Kanzhou was the Xu Ling Sect branch she founded in Kanzhou. The Xu Ling Sect benefited a lot from this, and its overall strength surpassed many old forces in Beihai Jing.

This made her respect Qin Sang even more.

"Senior Qin, the two Wu people sent by Fellow Daoist Mingqiu have all had their five senses sealed. They are currently in the cabin..."

Gu Ya reported.

Qin Sang wanted to take them to the Wu Clan, but didn't want to expose Qing Yangzhi's location, so he sealed their five senses and released them after entering Kanzhou.

"Okay, if there is nothing important in the alliance, let's set off today," Qin Sang said.

"yes!"

Soon, a treasure ship sailed out of Qingyang League and headed south.

The treasure ship's route was the same as when Qin Sang came that year. It chose to bypass Yuanhai from the south and then enter Kanzhou. The purpose was to avoid merchant ships from the Water Department and keep to itself.

The weather was fine and the sea was calm.

The treasure ship sailed through the waves. Qin Sang stood on the deck, with his hands behind his back, looking to the southwest.

As they got closer and closer to the Source Sea, the treasure ship happened to encounter a wave of poisonous beasts. The guards on the ship immediately manipulated the ship's formation, and rays of mysterious light shot towards the sea. Soon, blue-green blood emerged from the sea water, emitting a fishy smell.

Gu Ya walked onto the deck, holding a wooden box in her arms, which contained a number of jade slips. "Senior Qin, these are the classics related to the Origin Sea that the Merchant Alliance collected."

It is indeed convenient to have people under your command. Things like collecting information can be done by your subordinates.

Qin Sang had already told Su Nu that after the Qingyang League was founded, she should collect information about Yuanhai in Kanzhou and compile it into a book.

Qin Sang activated his spiritual consciousness, and the contents of the jade slip flowed through his mind. He found that most of them were legends circulated in various places, or compiled by later generations. There were very few ancient books related to the Origin Sea, and there was no trace of the descendants of the Origin Sea. However, some of them were notes left by predecessors who explored the Origin Sea. There were quite a few of them, and they could verify each other, so they were very credible.

Legend has it that the Source Sea was once a Mahayana dojo, and it may contain the Mahayana heritage, attracting countless people to come. Even if it is not a Mahayana heritage, the Source Sea has bred countless unique poisonous beasts and poisonous creatures, and is also the source of rare poison treasures and some special elixirs.

According to the contents of these notes, there are three main paths leading into the Source Sea.

Two of them enter from the north and south sides of Yuanhai respectively, and the other one enters from the west but is also biased towards the north. There are fewer people coming from the east, and there is no clear pattern.

Even the patterns have been found, which shows that the monks in Kanzhou have already explored the Source Sea to a very high level. Of course, these contents are only limited to the periphery of the Source Sea. The strong people who have the ability to explore the core of the Source Sea will not spread the information easily.

There was no time last time, and there was no urgency this time, so Qin Sang planned to explore the Source Sea on the way.

After carefully analyzing the notes, Qin Sang decided to enter the Source Sea from the south side.

"Um?"

Qin Sang suddenly took a jade slip into his hand. A scene recorded in the slip gave him some associations.

Then, the Qianjun Ring flashed with light, and a formation plate flew out from it.

The array plate was square, with countless runes carved on it, except for one corner which was missing, indicating that the person who had refined the array plate had not yet completed it. However, the array plate already had some power.

Qin Sang infused his true energy into the formation, and immediately rays of icy blue light shot out from the formation plate.

Under the shining blue light, Qin Sang seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, and countless snowflakes were flying in the void.

If you look closely, you can see that these are not real snowflakes, but rather tiny ice crystals. The inside of the ice crystals is hollow, but there are exceptions, such as a dozen ice crystals with yellow spots of light sealed inside.

Qin Sang summoned these yellow spots of light to his side. They looked like small yellow insects. With his attainments in poison, it was not difficult to tell that they were not living creatures but a very dangerous and strong poison.

These yellow bugs are exactly the same as the highly poisonous substance recorded in the jade slips. It is a strange poison bred from the poisonous sea. Its toxicity is so strange that it makes people shudder at the mere mention of it.

This array plate was obviously specially made to capture this strange poison and is a relic of Xie Tianjiao.

Back then in the holy land of the aliens, when Qin Sang and Liuli broke into the ancient Green Scorpion Temple of the Xie Gou Clan, they encountered Xie Tianjiao. He tried to plot against them but was captured alive by Qin Sang and later died in the Thunder Temple.

"It seems that Xie Tianjiao is from Kanzhou and has also explored the Source Sea..."

It is normal that all the poison cultivators in Kanzhou would probably go to Yuanhai to take a look.

However, Xie Tianjiao seemed to have a deep understanding of the Source Sea. According to the description in the jade slip, that kind of strange poison was something that others avoided as much as possible, and there was still no antidote, but he was able to capture it.

Unfortunately, Xie Tianjiao was sent into the Thunder Palace by Qin Sang to explore the way and died there.

Qin Sang began to rummage through Xie Tianjiao's belongings again, and soon found a roll of silk. He slowly unfolded it, revealing some messy lines drawn on it.

“Is this a chart?”

Qin Sang frowned and stared at it. The silk itself was a treasure, but its function was unknown. There were only brief markings on it, which was difficult for outsiders to understand. Perhaps only the owner of the silk understood its meaning.

He could only guess, and then compared it with the notes. His intuition told him that this map was likely related to the Origin Sea. If this was a sea map of the interior of the Origin Sea, this person had explored quite deep!

"Chansu Island..."

Qin Sang took out another token with these three words on it. Apart from that, there was nothing else that could prove Xie Tianjiao's identity and sect, which seemed quite mysterious.

The more this happened, the weirder Qin Sang felt. He regretted killing Xie Tianjiao, but the situation in the holy land was unclear at the time, and he was focused on cracking the secret of the Thunder Palace, so he didn't have time to think so much.

"Could Chansu Island be the location of his cave?"

Qin Sang took the token, looked at it over and over again, and handed it to Gu Ya, "After arriving in Kanzhou, let the alliance investigate the origin of this token."

"Junior obeys your command!"

Gu Ya solemnly put away the token, and Qin Sang continued to examine the silk.

The treasure ship sailed southwards, arrived at the southern part of the source sea, and began to sail around the edge of the source sea, turning westwards. After sailing for a while, they occasionally encountered other treasure ships, but everyone was wary of each other and would tacitly bypass them in advance to avoid encountering each other.

"The road to the source sea is near this area..."

On this day, Qin Sang walked out of the cabin and ordered Shen Chen, Gu Ya and others to go to Kanzhou first. He left the treasure ship alone and flew to Yuanhai.

Following the instructions in the notes, Qin Sang quickly found the entrance to the path.

"Oh, it stinks!"

Qin Sang flew forward a short distance and encountered a yellow cloud. At the same time, a foul stench hit him in the face, making him feel sick.

Zhuque lay on Qin Sang's shoulder, covering his mouth with his wings, with a look of disgust on his face.

This yellow cloud has a very wide range and has existed for a long time. It not only stinks, but also has a strong corrosive power.

Most people would choose to avoid the yellow cloud when they encounter it, but in fact, this is the safest place. One of the important reasons is that poisonous beasts also hate the smell of the yellow cloud and will stay away from it.

Qin Sang summoned out the phoenix wings, and lightning surrounded his body, transforming into a lightning shield that expelled the stench around him.

"Swish!"

A flash of lightning pierced through the yellow clouds and disappeared into the depths of the clouds in the blink of an eye.

With Qin Sang's strength, there was no need for him to follow the so-called safe path completely. He identified the direction where the strange poison was and headed straight for that sea area.

The array was not yet complete, which meant that Xie Tianjiao had not yet started collecting the strange poison. Perhaps the strange poison had a special effect on him, or perhaps Xie Tianjiao was blocked by the strange poison when he entered the fog sea before, so he created this array.

In any case, Xie Tianjiao must have been there, probably to the place marked on the silk.

If we can find clues there, it will be a breakthrough in deciphering the silk chart!

While flying away, Qin Sang carefully searched through Xie Tianjiao's belongings several times, trying to find new clues.

The round tripod that Xie Tianjiao used in the battle was his natal magic treasure. After his death, the spirituality of the round tripod was destroyed. However, he still had two poison magic treasures in his hands. One of them was specifically used to break and resist external poisons. Qin Sang was planning to refine it.

In addition to these treasures, Xie Tianjiao also left behind some secret techniques, but unfortunately they were not inherited from his main discipline. Qin Sang took them out one by one and studied them, gaining a lot in the way of poison, but had no way of inferring Xie Tianjiao's master.

Speeding along the source sea, one bizarre and wonderful scene after another appeared before Qin Sang.
