Chapter 210 The Secrets of the Deep Sea
The sea area was indeed quite large; it took Liu Jun a good half hour to fly to reach the next blood coral production area.
However, this time Liu Jun didn't plan to go around again and directly released his divine sense to scan the area.
The map indicated that this area was several times larger than the previous supply point, but it could be scanned in a short time with divine sense. In order not to miss anything, Liu Jun expanded the area by several miles, but still found nothing.
Blood coral isn't anything particularly rare; it's just that it's a bit more resilient and can be woven into clothing. It's not much different from ice spider silk or silkworm silk, so why is it so hard to find?
Ice spider silk is white, celestial silkworm silk has a bluish tint, and blood coral is predominantly red.
Previously, if it weren't for the fact that the bone clam was also in the shepherd's hands, I wouldn't have had to spend the money to dig up a blood coral, since a whole blood coral is not cheap.
A mature blood coral can be used to make more than five robes. A good one can be sold for more than 500 mid-grade spirit stones. Apart from that, it has very few other uses.
Although five hundred spirit stones were nothing to Liu Jun, it's better to spend money than not to spend it.
Who knew that the temptation was so great for these people? They really squeezed them clean, leaving not a single seedling behind.
Unconvinced, Liu Jun went to several more areas where blood corals were found, and finally found one, but it was just a newly grown seedling. Only then did Liu Jun give up completely.
The little black box that had been refined earlier was now useless, so I took it out and filled it with seawater and mud before transplanting the seedling into it. As for whether it would survive, that was up to fate.
If we can't find the blood coral, we'll have to look at the auction house, but this bone shell...
The shepherd was difficult to deal with; he couldn't steal it. Liu Jun decided to ask for it directly.
As descendants of an ancient race, the shepherds have never declared which side they stand on. However, since they sent people to the Xuanshan Sect last time, it means they will at least not be enemies with the people of the Xuanshan Sect. So, they should give her, their leader, some face.
If a fight really broke out, Liu Jun didn't know how much of a chance he had of winning, since they were opponents he had never fought before.
I took out the map and glanced at it. The map did not mark the shepherd's address. Either it was not allowed, or he did not have a fixed place of residence.
How then did the interpreters on the shore manage to find them?
Since they can issue invitations, it means that shepherds would also invite people on the shore to their dwellings.
The fact that the translator, though not a shepherd, was able to manage the affairs of outsiders entering the Sumeru Sea suggests that he was acting on the orders of the shepherd. However, the phrase "life and death are determined by fate" also contributed to the perilous nature of the Sumeru Sea, and few who entered the sea returned unharmed.
More precisely, it's good to have any breath left.
The ocean floor is not only home to its own kind who kill and plunder, but also to ferocious alien creatures, some familiar and some not.
Leaving aside the numerous sea monsters in the ocean, just consider the well-known merfolk. People are generally aware that they are beautiful and good at singing, but few know that they can even eat their own kind. They are primitive and brutal, let alone when they see something different.
Besides the merfolk, there are countless other humanoid and beast-like sea monsters in the ocean. Setting up protective formations is not only to withstand the pressure of the ocean floor, but also to prevent creatures from suddenly attacking from any nook or cranny.
Shepherds never interfere with these things. If people on the shore want to come looking for treasure, they have to take these risks. Survival of the fittest applies no matter where you are.
But is that really the case?
The Sumeru Sea is so vast, and so is southern Anhui. So what if those who come seeking opportunities jump into the sea without making a record? Would the shepherd be afraid that if someone dies in the sea, the sects behind him will come to settle accounts?
At least she hadn't heard of it, so what was the point of setting up those translation embassies?
Going out to search for treasure is inherently extremely dangerous, and those who cultivate the Tao accept this with equanimity. Setting up an interpreter's office is unnecessary, and they even justify it by saying they are afraid of being questioned.
I didn't think much about it when I went to sea, but now I have doubts about everything.
The embassy has been established for so many years, are the people on the shore really so unquestioning?
Liu Jun remembered that this thing was set up in southern Anhui not long after her master ascended to heaven, and since it was something completely unrelated, she didn't pay any attention to it.
I hope she's overthinking it.
Holding up a sirens who had been beaten senseless and revealed their true form, Liu Jun slapped them again: "You really don't know?"
"Big sister, no, fairy sister, I really don't know where they are, I've never even seen them before! Please, have mercy and let me go!"
The siren spoke with tears streaming down his face, saying that if he had known it would be beaten so badly, he shouldn't have provoked this seemingly delicious human cultivator a moment before the incense stick had burned.
"How could a siren like you not have seen a shepherd? He may be human in form... or perhaps have a human head and a dragon's body."
"I've never seen anything like it before, Grandma!"
The lineage of the Holy Emperor was born later than Yinglong, but they also had dragon bodies. It is unknown whether the Shepherds still retained the characteristics of dragons in their generation, since they are the last remaining descendants of the Holy Emperor lineage.
In just tens of thousands of years, these ancient tribes have almost all become extinct, or perhaps they simply couldn't continue their lineage in this place, and most of them no longer exist here.
That makes sense, though. With the divine realm utterly destroyed, those guilty gods and defeated gods either fled or scattered, while these "descendants of prestigious families"...
(The Sinful God Starry Night... Godslayer 1409...)
The bloodline had already been broken, and those who remained were descendants whose lineage had become increasingly rare. None of them were born from the essence of heaven and earth, possessing an innate divine lineage.
A fortune teller?
The body of a half-immortal is a joke. Despite being a descendant of the divine lineage, he could only give birth to a half-immortal, and couldn't even give birth to a complete immortal.
But if he were to be born, he would be unacceptable to this world, and the Upper Realm would be the place where he should stay.
This world was created by humans, not a truly naturally formed world.
The world was created by the two gods named Lu Xihan's parents for their daughter.
The current divine realm is not the same as the original divine domain. It is merely a place called the divine realm that has been carved out in the upper realm. And the gods living there are not only the gods of the original divine domain, but also many more immortals who have become gods...
What about Yan Zhi? Does he live in the current God Realm?
She is a sinner, and it is likely that even when she turns to dust, she will never see him again.
She wouldn't allow it, just as Heaven itself wouldn't allow it.
With her current cultivation level, she could easily defeat someone of the same level, so why has she been stuck at the half-step immortal realm?
He should have left this place long ago and gone to the upper realm that everyone yearns for to continue seeking the boundless Dao, instead of watching his death day approach step by step.
"Why don't you go ask some other sea monsters? I haven't left this area much, so I really don't know what kind of people you're talking about!"
The siren beside him was still howling incessantly, so Liu Jun slapped it across the face again: "Shut up, you're giving me a headache!"
The siren immediately fell silent, but his swollen face still burned with pain, and he couldn't help but groan in pain.
Liu Jun released his grip on it without a hint of remorse: "Alright, stop scaring people from behind in the future. Consider this a lesson learned."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, Grandma. I promise I won't scare people behind their backs anymore! Waaah..."
Liu Jun let him go and prepared to capture the second sea monster to ask people.
However, when she caught the eighth sea monster and asked it the same question, the answer she received was always "I don't know" or "I'm not sure," which made Liu Jun realize that there was something wrong.
People know that there are shepherds in southern Anhui, and this area is under their jurisdiction. They have even been seen visiting during the joint competition. However, Liu Jun has never seen the three who came to visit.
Liu Jun only went to watch the competition a few days later. At that time, although the three shepherds were still in the sect, they had never met them. Liu Jun only knew of the existence of such a lineage in his memory.
Moreover, most of the various sects and factions on land had also come at that time, so it was impossible that they couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake. So why did these sea monsters say they didn't know when asked seven or eight times?
Even though she had described it very well, she still couldn't get any information out of her.
It seems that a huge secret is buried in the deep sea.
