Chapter 335 - 335: Southern Region
With a move of Qin Changqing’s hand, the Feixian Sword cut open the armor on the Azure Dragon Beast’s body.
This Lane Dragon Beast had previously escaped from him, but this time, it was effortlessly dealt with by Qin Changqing.
This armor appeared extremely tough at first, but it’s nothing for the current Feixian Sword.
The Feixian Sword now is a top-grade treasure.
Of course, the material of this armor is excellent, but the principal strike of Feixian Sword isn’t sharpness, so ordinary Feixian Swords could penetrate this armor under Qin Changqing’s powerful attack.
But it’s not able to cut open this armor as it did now.
Those that could cut open the armor were several Feixian Swords specifically created by Qin Changqing. These swords aren’t as flexible as the others, but they’re sharper.
With a sweep of Qin Changqing’s divine consciousness, he understood more about this armor.
The craftsmanship of this armor was average and not very impressive, but the material used was amazing.
Any high-grade treasure that’s not sharp enough can’t break its defense.
It doesn’t seem to be made by humans.
Moreover, based on the materials, Qin Changqing felt that they mostly came from the sea.
“Is it from the Hai Clan?” Qin Changqing wondered.
If this armor was created by the Hai Clan, which one could it be?
They first sent the Azure Dragon Beast to attack the North Sea, and now they have come to the Southern Sea for some mischief.
The attack couldn’t be from the North Sea or the Southern Sea. The West Sea is in the wrong location, and the Western Sea Tribe already has a good relationship with the Guiyuan Sect, so the chance that they would cause trouble everywhere is quite low.
So, could it be the East Sea?
The East Sea has the largest area, and the Eastern Sea Tribe is arguably the most powerful.
“Thank you, senior, for saving my life.”
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Qin Changqing saw that the Mermaid in the form of God had already come over.
“Why is this Azure Dragon Beast attacking you all?” Qin Changqing asked.
Upon hearing Qin Changqing’s question, the Mermaid’s gaze fell on the body of the Lane Dragon Beast. When she saw the armor disguised as scales, her face changed.
The presence of armor indicated that the Azure Dragon Beast was not wild but had been raised by someone.
“Senior, I don’t know. I led some people to a special place to gather Kuishui Beads and soon after leaving, we encountered them,” the Mermaid replied.
“Can you tell where this Lane Dragon Beast comes from?” Qin Changqing asked again.
“Senior, I can’t tell. However, the queen will be here soon. If you’re not busy, you can wait here for a while,” the Mermaid replied.
“Okay.”
Qin Changqing waited.
After waiting for not too long, just a few hours later, an incredibly buoyant sea boat leaped out.
A mermaid with a crown appeared on the sea boat.
Qin Changqing got the impression that this mermaid was also a Void Refinement level, likely even late-stage or peak.
A Void Refinement level mermaid.
Was she the queen of the Southern Sea?
So, it seemed that the mermaid tribe of the Southern Sea was stronger.
By the way, if Bai Ling hadn’t been trapped back then, she would most likely be at the Void Refinement level or even higher by now.
“Thank you for your assistance.”
“These are some specialties of our Southern Sea. We hope you will accept them. ”
After the mermaid in the form of God explained the situation, the Void Refinement Mermaid expressed her gratitude.
While speaking, she took out a storage bag filled with many things.
Qin Changqing accepted it.
Then, she began to examine the Azure Dragon Beast and the armor.
She had not been able to tell much about the armor and could not ascertain where it had come from.
However, after examining the Azure Dragon Beast for a long time, she had made a discovery.
“There is a trace of the Ancient Sea Power in its blood. So, it is possible that it comes from the East Sea.”
The Void Refinement Mermaid expressed in a serious tone.
Ancient Sea Power?
“The ancient sea is located in the East Sea, which is filled with a unique energy.
Many years ago, during the Four Seas union, we also received some Ancient
Sea Water there.”
Seeing Qin Changqing’s confusion, the Void Refinement Mermaid explained.
An idea struck Qin Changqing, and he asked, “So the Four Seas no longer communicate with each other now?”
The Void Refinement Mermaid remained silent for a few seconds before replying, “There’s scarcely any communications now.”
Seeing this, Qin Changqing realized, asking further, she might not be willing to reveal much more information about the sea.
After all, it was their first meeting.
“If you trust me, please hand this Azure Dragon Beast over to me. Given some time, I should be able to learn something.”
The Void Refinement Mermaid said again.
Qin Changqing pondered for a bit, saying, “Okay.”
The Void Refinement Mermaid handed Qin Changqing a conch: “If there’s a result, the conch will ring.” Qin Changqing took the conch.
“Until next time.”
He stored the Azure Dragon Beast’s armor away, and his figure soared into the sky, heading toward the Southern Region.
“Queen, who is he and why do I have an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and trust towards him when I see him?”
As soon as Qin Changqing had left, the Transform God Mermaid spoke.
“He bears the blessing of the royal merfolk on him, and if my guess is not wrong, he probably also has a child with royal blood.”
The Void Refinement Mermaid was staring at the place where Qin Changqing had disappeared, she said.
On Qin Changqing’s body, something that could only be detected by the merfolk with both high stature and a strong bloodline.
It was a blessing that Bai Ling had quietly given to Qin Changqing one year when they were traveling in the North Region.
One of the side effects of this blessing was that it made other mermen unconsciously feel a sense of familiarity and trust towards Qin Changqing.
In addition, Qin Changqing’s daughter, Qin Linger, had an extraordinary bloodline that could only be perceived by powerful royal mermen.
Thus, the Transform God Mermaid could feel this familiarity and trust instinctively, and the Void Refinement Mermaid could spot traces of it.
“Who is he?”
Curiosity was also evident in the Void Refinement Mermaid’s gaze.
Meanwhile, after a significant amount of flying, the Southern Region was in sight.
The Southern Region was vast and sparsely populated, with probably the same total population as the current North Region, and tall mountains could be seen everywhere.
Various spiritual beasts were also observed.
Occasionally, one could see some demonic beasts.
Since he had reduced his speed to get a better look at the Southern Region, it wasn’t until several days later that Qin Changqing arrived at the locale of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
Here too, peaks and hills overlapped in an abundance of green, forming a ring-shaped mountain range with five encircles.
The terrain was indeed unique.
However, there was a flaw in this five-ring layout, which made setting up the Heaven and Earth array here result in a comparatively weak point.
“Qin Changqing.”
The moment Qin Changqing arrived, the cheerful Ten Thousand Beast Sect Master came out to greet him.
Qin Changqing explained his intentions.
“Not a problem at all. We have an abundance of spiritual grasses and medicines that we can’t use up. I’ll take you to them
Without any hesitation, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect Leader agreed.
“Besides the spiritual grasses and medicines cultivated on specific peaks within the sect, we also have a vast natural spiritual medicine garden spread across the entire Southern Region. Certain spiritual medicines require very particular environments to thrive.”
A voice echoed on a hill full of medicinal grasses, it was from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect Master.
Her name was Liu Xiaowan, a woman with strength at the Transform God Yanfeng level, delicately pretty, and petite in appearance.
Despite being petite, she was not skinny. Her figure was well proportioned, radiating a sense of harmony.
It was the case of adding a fraction more would seem too much, and a fraction less would seem insufficient..
