Chapter 208: Daotu, Holy Land, and Immortal Sect

In an instant, everyone stepped back a few paces, looking at this scorpion with wariness.

Is it some kind of immortal beast that hasn't reached maturity yet?

This kind of weird ability is truly enough to strike fear into one's heart.

The Sand Scorpion King shook its front pincers, then took a leap, arrived at Qin Jiang's side, and gently tapped against Qin Jiang's face.

Qin Jiang slowly opened his eyes; in truth, he had never been unconscious, merely restricted in his movements by the residual power of the Immortal Tribulation.

Sensing his body, his life force was almost completely extinguished; this was not a simple physical injury, but a severe wound to his origin, requiring time to recuperate and recover.

Rising from the seawater, he stood suspended in the air, a flash of white-gold radiance passed, and his clothes were restored as if new.

He raised his hand to receive the Sand Scorpion King, watched as it shook its front pincers as if claiming credit, and gently took off the Bronze Ring to put it on.

This was something Xu Yanran had given him back then, identical to the one he had gifted to Xu Yanran; later, it had continuously absorbed the life force he leaked in his daily life, gradually becoming a semi-Immortal Artifact.

This life force was nothing to him, but for a True God, it was somewhat too powerful, no less than a deadly poison.

Stroking the Sand Scorpion King, he looked at Hua Jun Lan, "Many thanks to you, young lady, for the rescue."

Hua Jun Lan hurriedly cupped her hands, "Senior is too kind; this junior did not really do anything."

Although she knew Qin Jiang was very young, even a few years younger than herself, in this world, strength is respected; she was not yet qualified to view Qin Jiang as a peer.

"I do not yet know where this place is. Does the young lady know where the Lingxuan Sect is located?" Qin Jiang asked.

Now that he was heavily injured, he was temporarily unable to sense the location of his split spirits and could only obtain information about the Lingxuan Sect from the outside world.

Hua Jun Lan's expression shifted slightly, "This is the Wandao Haiyu. Is the Lingxuan Sect the senior speaks of the Lingxuan Holy Land?"

"Is the Wandao Haiyu in the Eastern Region?" Qin Jiang asked.

"Naturally, the Wandao Haiyu is a part of the Hunluan Hai of the Eastern Region, so it is naturally within the Eastern Region," Hua Jun Lan replied.

She was somewhat puzzled; had this senior's soul been damaged by the Immortal Tribulation? Had he even forgotten the distribution of the continent? Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "So that is how it is. I ask the young lady to inform me of the direction to the Lingxuan Holy Land."

Hua Jun Lan wore a troubled expression, "To tell you the truth, at present, it is a time of war between the Eastern Region and Nanyu. The region we are currently in is blockaded by two major immortal sects of Nanyu, so we cannot get out for the time being."

Hearing this, Qin Jiang fell silent. With his current heavily injured strength, he could deal with an Initial Stage True Immortal, but if he encountered an End-Stage True Immortal, he would have to retreat for the time being.

He did not yet know how strong these so-called immortal sects were.

Furthermore, he could not press for details; if he accidentally exposed his identity, it might lead to even more trouble.

Immediately, he cupped his hands slightly, "I ask the young lady to give me a ride and allow me to recuperate in your sect for a while. I am heavily injured now and have lost many memories, remembering only the Lingxuan Sect."

Hua Jun Lan looked troubled, her gaze unable to stop from drifting toward the aberrant tumor on the side, feeling a bit intimidated in her heart.

But as things stood now, it was very likely that Qin Jiang was an unworldly, peerless monster from the Lingxuan Holy Land.

If she offended him... indeed, the Lingxuan Holy Land had always remained neutral, but it was inevitable that they might be used by those with ulterior motives.

Seeing this, Qin Jiang smiled slightly, "Young lady, do not worry. This was caused by my life-saving object; it has already lost its power now and will not cause any influence."

Hua Jun Lan was silent for a moment, "Senior is overthinking; this junior had no such intention. Today, this junior happens to be returning to the sect, so please board the ship, Senior. After returning to the sect and seeing my father, perhaps there will be a way to leave."

Although she did not believe that the ring was already useless, since the other party had already said so, she could not refuse.

"Many thanks, young lady."

Above the great sea, the giant ship sailed, and several divine lights departed. Hua Jun Lan looked at Lu Yao, who had boarded the deck, "Yao Yao, how has that senior been settled?"

"As you said, I gave him the main room you were staying in. However, even if he is a Saint Child of the Lingxuan Sect, there is no need for this, right? Our Sword Sect and the Holy Land only differ by one End-Stage Holy Master."

Lu Yao was somewhat unconvinced; even if the other party's background and strength were both very strong, there was no need to be so servile, right?

Hua Jun Lan shook her head in disappointment; Lu Yao still lacked experience and did not understand what a True God capable of triggering such a powerful Immortal Tribulation meant. Such strength, how could it be compared to an ordinary Saint Child-level genius? I am afraid that even a Dao Child-level figure might not necessarily possess this strength! "Yao Yao, if there is a chance, you should split off a True Spirit to experience the mortal world for a few years and experience the life of a mortal."

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly, and she became a bit coy, "I... I was just saying it~ I felt indignant for you~ Give you some time, and you will definitely be able to surpass him!"

Hua Jun Lan smiled slightly, "It is fortunate that my divine ship can isolate Divine Intent probing; otherwise, you would have to go and apologize in person. Remember to be careful with your words in the future."

Inside the cabin, Qin Jiang could not help but smile. This large ship indeed had an array that could isolate Divine Intent, but to him, it was already useless.

However, he did not care about these things; in fact, he also hoped to see some geniuses appear who could compete with him on the same stage.

Raising his hand slightly, a space crack appeared, and he reached out to take out a book.

The space crack gradually healed, and he could not help but sigh; this Zhongyuan Continent was indeed different, as the space density was far higher.

Even if an ordinary True God had mastered Space Power, if they had not mastered it to the ultimate realm, it would be difficult to tear open a space crack.

He flipped through the book in his hand, and after a moment, he opened a space crack again to put it back and exchange it for another.

In the book pavilion inside the great ship, Long Can sat in his seat flipping through ancient texts, the oil lamp casting his shadow on the wall behind him.

He turned his head from time to time, his eyes somewhat puzzled.

How strange, why did I feel a spatial ripple?

The Space-Condensing Array outside this book pavilion should be impossible to force through via spatial means, even for an Initial Stage True Immortal.

Could the Space-Condensing Array be broken?

He picked up the oil lamp and walked out of the book pavilion; after checking, he returned and replaced several source stones that were somewhat damaged.

Sure enough, after replacing them, no more spatial ripples appeared.

Inside the main room, Qin Jiang looked out the window; the boundless ocean seemed to connect with the sky.

Daotu, Holy Land, Immortal Sect.

The ruling class on the Zhongyuan Continent.

The current hegemon of the Eastern Region is the Linglong Daotu, whose Dao Master, Linglong Xianjun, is said to have already reached the end of the Quasi-Immortal King, only half a step away from the true Immortal King Supreme Realm.

Besides the Linglong Daotu, there are six other Holy Lands located throughout the Eastern Region, and the Holy Master of every Holy Land is an End-Stage True Immortal.

However, they are not called End-Stage True Immortals here, but rather Holy Master-level, because every True Immortal who reaches the End Realm is qualified to open a Holy Land.

Excluding these seven major forces, there are dozens of immortal sects standing tall, and every immortal sect has at least one expert of the True Immortal level.

As for the current younger generation, the Linglong Dao Child is the undisputed number one person in the Eastern Region, having already stepped into the Demigod realm.

Below them, the six major Holy Lands have not yet decided on their contemporary Saint Child, but within each major Holy Land, there are several existences who can be called Saint Child-level, at the eighth level of Divine Martial, suppressing the Eastern Region.

And within the major immortal sects, there are also monsters like Hua Jun Lan who have emerged, sufficient to compare with the Saint Child-level figures of the Holy Lands.

The current Eastern Region can truly be called an era where talent abounds.

It is only a pity that he arrived a little late and failed to set foot here during the time of the Divine Martial Artists.

Shaking his head, he did not dwell on it further, instead drawing in Heaven and Earth Source Qi to nourish his body.

A long while later, he suddenly raised his eyes to look out the window, only to see the sky suddenly darken, with stars twinkling in the night sky.

A roar resounded through the heavens and earth, and the starlight in the sky converged into a figure.

With awe-inspiring Divine Might, holding an Eight-sided Vajra Hammer, it was as if Juling Shen had descended into the world.
