Chapter 2106: Volume 10: Battle of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2106: Demon Source Sea
One day a year later, on the sea of the famous Demon Source Sea in the Demon Realm, a black-green giant boat was speeding through the pitch-black sea, pulled by several whale-like sea beasts.
In the low altitude less than a hundred feet from the sea surface, bursts of black mist were rolling, and silver arcs were flashing, and there was a vague sound of thunder.
At the front of the giant boat, a man and a woman were standing by the railing, looking into the distance of the sea.
"The Demon Source Sea is known as the place of origin of the Demon Race. The demonic Qi is indeed as heavy as rumored, but the chaotic Qi mixed in it is also not light. Ordinary demons are probably unable to cultivate here." The man had a pale golden face and said expressionlessly.
"I heard that this chaotic Qi has dissipated a lot compared to before. It is said that hundreds of millions of years ago, this was one of the forbidden areas of the Demon Race, and ordinary people could not enter or exit at will. Perhaps, in a few more years, this chaotic Qi will dissipate on its own, and this sea will be able to become a holy land for the Demon Race again!" The woman was petite, with a beautiful face, and said with a smile.
These two were the ancestor of the Long family and the girl in the feather garment from the Ye family.
Obviously, Han Li and the others had gathered together again and entered the Demon Source Sea together.
"Hehe, even if there is something strange about this sea area, we have gone through so many hardships to reach this place, and there is no reason to give up halfway. The only thing I didn't expect is that the lightning power here is so strong that we can't even fly at low altitude." The ancestor of the Long family replied helplessly.
"It's not that there is no way to fly at low altitude, but that we can't use the escape technique to travel for a long time. Under such dense lightning attacks, even if our cultivation is deep, we can't support the defense for too long." The girl in the feather garment replied with a sweet smile.
"Regardless, finding the island where the Spirit Washing Pool is located will probably take much longer than originally estimated. The clues provided by the fellow daoists of the Spirit Race are very vague. Only by finding the sea area with similar characteristics can we possibly find this island. And with the vast area of the Demon Source Sea, it really requires a certain amount of luck to find it within a certain period of time." The ancestor of the Long family sighed and said.
Hearing this, the girl in the feather garment stopped smiling and pondered for a long time before saying leisurely:
"Our time is not as much as we imagined. I estimate that some Demon Race forces have already noticed us, these unfamiliar Demon Venerables. Once they figure out our true origins, the trouble will be unimaginable. Every month that passes, the risk of our exposure increases by one point."
"I naturally know this point. But as I said before, we are already riding a tiger and it's hard to get off, and we are just one step away. There is no reason to give up now." The ancestor of the Long family said with a solemn expression.
The girl in the feather garment sighed and didn't say anything more.
But at this time, the ancestor of the Long family's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked a question that surprised the girl:
"This time, Brother Han and Fairy were more than a month slower than us, and only arrived at the rendezvous point at the agreed time. And I see that Fairy's aura seems to be slightly different from when we parted last time. It seems that Fairy has gained some other opportunities on the way. If so, I must congratulate Fairy and Brother Han first."
The ancestor of the Long family revealed a meaningful look!
"Brother Long is really sharp-eyed, even my slight change can be seen through at a glance. However, Brother Han and I have only gained some small opportunities. I'm afraid Brother Long and Fellow Daoist Hui have gained more?" The girl in the feather garment's face changed a few times, but she chuckled.
"Judging from Fairy's tone, it seems she knows something. But don't worry, I have no interest in getting to the bottom of it. I just asked casually!" The ancestor of the Long family laughed.
The girl in the feather garment curled her mouth slightly, and a look of "knowing" appeared on her face.
At the same time, in a room on the bottom floor of the giant boat, Han Li was sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed, listening to the conversation between the ancestor of the Long family and the girl in the feather garment through a strand of extremely hidden spiritual sense. After a faint smile, he withdrew his spiritual sense and pondered to himself.
A year ago, when he and the girl in the feather garment obtained the Azure Luan true blood, they were intercepted by that Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor incarnation at the edge of Iron Sand Ridge.
As a result, after a great battle, Han Li, with the help of the girl in the feather garment's strange treasure and his own true divine abilities, trapped and seriously injured the Saint Ancestor incarnation.
After this Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor incarnation was seriously injured, even after he escaped, he didn't dare to continue chasing, and could only retreat to Iron Sand Ridge helplessly.
Han Li and the girl in the feather garment naturally continued on their way without any pursuers
Half a month ago, they finally converged with the Long Clan ancestor and that group of Spirit race people at a designated demon port by the sea.
But upon meeting, Han Li was somewhat startled!
This time, the Long Clan ancestor's Hui-surnamed cultivator was fine, but that "Elder Jin" among the Spirit race people was nowhere to be found.
The Long Clan ancestor was also greatly surprised, and after a brief inquiry, the Spirit race people vaguely replied that "Elder Jin" had met with an accident and had already fallen, returning to the origin of the Spirit species.
As for the specific nature of the accident, the Spirit race people had no intention of elaborating.
Han Li, the Long Clan ancestor, and the others naturally found it inappropriate to press further, but they were all somewhat suspicious in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Han Li subconsciously frowned, and the face of the Spirit race youth named "Zhi Shui" flashed before his eyes again.
This Holy Spirit, who had always given Han Li an uncomfortable feeling, had, after this meeting, completely lost the increasingly heavy, cold, and baleful Qi that had been emanating from his body, becoming exactly the same as the other Holy Spirits.
This made Han Li secretly marvel, while at the same time, he vaguely felt that Elder Jin's accident might have something to do with this person.
Of course, he had not the slightest evidence for such a guess, but he couldn't help but pay a few more points of attention to this Spirit race youth.
Thinking of this, Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and as his thoughts turned, he suddenly flipped one hand, and a small white bottle appeared silently in his palm.
After slowly stroking the small bottle with his fingers for a few moments, he couldn't help but let a trace of joy flash across his face.
With this Azure Luan true blood, the Hibernating Insect Technique could gain one more transformation, and the power of the other several transformations would also increase significantly.
And the most famous divine ability of this Azure Luan was its power to control wind.
It is said that this true spirit was born within the Nine Heavens Profound Wind, and once it becomes enraged, the Profound Wind it releases is enough to overturn heaven and earth, destroy nations, and raze cities; it is terrifying to the extreme!
Han Li was naturally extremely curious about this Profound Wind power, but he did not take the true blood and refine it immediately on the journey like the feathered-garment girl.
The Hibernating Insect Technique is different from ordinary cultivation techniques; as the amount of true blood refined increases, the refining process also becomes longer and longer, and it is even more taboo to be disturbed or to give up halfway.
Therefore, he decided from the beginning to formally refine this Azure Luan true blood only after the Demon Realm journey was over and he had returned to the Spirit Realm.
Thinking this in his heart, a white light flashed in his hand, and the small bottle disappeared once again.
For the time that followed, Han Li cleared away all distracting thoughts and began to close his eyes and enter meditation.
Day after day passed, time flowed by quickly, and the black-green giant ship traveled on the black sea surface for three whole months.
Han Li and the others divided into several groups, with two people at a time responsible for controlling the ship and scouting the nearby sea area, while the others closed their eyes and rested in the cabins.
During this period, apart from encountering a few sea beasts that didn't know better, the giant ship had a smooth journey and did not encounter any major trouble.
But unfortunately, they had yet to encounter the sea area with the characteristics matching the clues provided by the Spirit race.
On this day, it happened to be Han Li and that Saintess Qianqiu's turn to be responsible for controlling the giant ship.
Han Li stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant sea, without saying a word.
Saintess Qianqiu, not knowing where she had taken out a golden silk meditation cushion, sat cross-legged on it a few feet to Han Li's side, her eyes slightly closed.
Both of them appeared extremely quiet, but both had released their vast spiritual senses, constantly searching every part of the sea within a radius of ten thousand miles.
Suddenly, Han Li's expression stirred, and a flash of sharp light crossed his eyes.
"What is it, Brother Han? Could it be that you have discovered something?" Saintess Qianqiu at his side instantly sensed the abnormality in Han Li's spiritual sense fluctuations and immediately opened her eyes to look over.
"To the left, three thousand miles away!" Han Li replied cleanly and concisely, without a single word of nonsense.
Upon hearing this, Saintess Qianqiu did not hesitate to sweep her spiritual sense toward the indicated sea area.
After a moment, an expression of surprise and joy appeared on her face, and she couldn't hide her excitement as she immediately said to Han Li:
"Demon Ape Reef, this is exactly the same as described; it is indeed this reef, no mistake. Brother Han, turn the direction immediately, I will wake the others up right away!"
Han Li naturally had no other objections; after nodding, he immediately pinched a magic seal with one hand and waved it toward the sea beasts pulling the ship in front.
Immediately, several colorful spiritual seals shot out, flashing and disappearing into the bodies of these sea beasts.
The several sea beasts immediately let out low roars, and as their direction changed, they pulled the giant ship and sped toward the left.
At the same time, Saintess Qianqiu had already used a secret technique to notify the Long Clan ancestor and the others.
After a short while, everyone appeared at the bow of the ship and similarly used their spiritual senses to check in the same direction, and as a result, everyone's spirits were lifted.
Although the giant ship could not fly, its speed under the full pull of the sea beasts could definitely not be called slow.
Two hours later, a solitary "mountain peak" appeared on the distant sea, a black, dark mountain peak with half its body inserted into the low-altitude black clouds and half directly exposed above the sea.
Incredibly, the entire mountain peak bore an uncanny resemblance to a giant ape waving its two arms toward the sky, and its organs such as eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all complete; although it looked extremely rough up close, from a distance, it looked as if it were alive.
