BXBX NOVEL Chapter 314 So That's How It Is
Cofuran explained many things about the primordial sea to Yuchi, and he gained insight into what it was from her explanation.
The essence of the primordial sea was the sea hearts.
If a sea possessed a sea heart, it was categorized as a primordial sea.
The reason why it was called as such, was because it lacked any life or living beings, and would always be in a state of deathly stillness.
On the other hand, the sea heart was like a Dao heart without a soul.
One's Dao heart was formed based on one's personality and soul. The sea heart was naturally the same, except that it lacked both.
If he could obtain a sea heart, it would greatly increase his strength. At the same time, it would also increase his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao. Yuchi would also be able to obtain some true Dao heart skills from the sea heart. The power of these skills would far exceed all of his current skills, excluding the ability to summon divine flowers.
…
One day later.
Yuchi arrived at the peak of a tall mountain.
Standing on the highest point on the mountain, he had a bird's eye view of the primordial sea in front of him. It looked similar to a crescent bay and, at the edge of the primordial sea, there was actually a city, which seemed to be marked with strange religious-looking symbols.
This matter was a little strange.
He squinted his eyes and focused on the city. Inside, he could see many fox-like creatures. However, they had human forms, and were multicolored.
He saw white, yellow, red, and many other color variants. They also walked on two feet, and wore clothes that made them look even more human-like.
Of course, such a scene was not unusual in this world that was full of myriad races. Yuchi had encountered plenty of strange creatures among the myriad races.
However, this was the primordial sea. Why were there so many creatures around the primordial sea?
What was the purpose of them gathering here?
It was very strange.
There were no living creatures in the primordial sea, and the primordial sea would greatly reduce the vitality of the surrounding creatures, reducing their lifespan.
Cofuran was also quite surprised. "I can't understand why this race exists here. Can't they feel that this place is harming them?"
"It's strange."
Yue Hanjiang had already grown to a height of 1.4 meters by now. She was now standing next to Yuchi, holding his arm.
"Master, I can already feel how dangerous this place is."
There should not have been any ordinary creatures in this place. Furthermore, these creatures have not reached the Dao realm, so they have no way to resist the devouring power of the primordial sea.
"Are they not afraid of death?"
Yuchi stood there motionless. He did not directly answer his disciple's question. Instead, he turned to Cofuran and asked, "Where is the sea heart? Is it at the bottom of the sea? I'll just go straight there if that's the case."
Yuchi had no intention of interacting with this race.
After he obtained the sea heart, he would leave.
He was but a mere traveler of the world.
Cofuran explained, "The sea heart is essentially a dao heart. Because it is not bound to any soul, it is relatively difficult to find. It is just like the Heavenly Dao itself, which does not have any unique characteristics."
"You have to carefully sense your surroundings for it. If the Dao aura is relatively thin somewhere, or is attracted in one direction, that's likely the direction in which it is."
"Once you find its exact location, you'll have to infuse an immense amount of Dao aura into it, then it will show up."
"Sea hearts have different forms. It can be an underwater palace, it can be a fish, or even a beam of light. Anything and everything can be a sea heart.
Yuchi sort of understood.
Yue Hanjiang suddenly chimed in, "Sister Cofuran, am I a sea heart with a soul then?"
Yuchi immediately turned to look at Yue Hanjiang.
Cofuran also looked at Yue Hanjiang in surprise. Yue Hanjiang, on the other hand, was grinning with curiosity.
"Yes, in a sense. The sea heart is just a name though, so you don't have to call yourself that. Besides, you have a soul. That's why you're so special."
Yue Hanjiang was even more curious. "What about my name? Who gave me my name? I remember that my name wasn't given to me by Master."
Yue Hanjiang knew nothing about what had happened when she was young, especially when she was still a baby. She could not remember the details at all. All she could remember was that one day she opened her eyes and saw Yuchi sitting quietly on the shore. However, somehow, she knew her own name.
"Your name was given by the Heavenly Dao. Also, it chose that name because it was something your master liked and was attached to, so that he would raise you..
"Oh! " Yue Hanjiang was enlightened. "So, master, you like Hanjiang?"
"I do."
Yuchi also nodded after some thought.
"I fished in Hanjiang for many years, so I have a deep impression of that place."
"Still, I didn't expect your name to have been chosen because of this."
The Heavenly Dao was really quite amazing to have been able to decide such things.
Then, just as Yuchi was about to head towards the primordial sea, a rustling sound came from the forest behind him. Two figures walked out.
Two fox clan mountain guards.
When they saw Yuchi and a little girl appear here, they simply could not believe their eyes.
This place was patrolled heavily, so how could someone just walk in without anyone knowing? Who were these two people?
