Chapter 1296: The Whereabouts of the Ocean Heart

"Tianyu?"

The woman frowned.

She had no impression of this name at all.

Just then, Wang Jianqiang looked at the woman and spoke again, "Your brother here has already told you his name."

"Now, it is my turn to ask you."

"Tell me, what is your name, and which lineage of the Mermaid Clan do you come from?"

Deep down, the woman did not want to respond to any inquiries from the thief before her, but the impulse within her Soul suppressed her own will once again.

"My name is Mingyan, and I come from the Gold Scale Lineage."

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Within the Gold Scale Lineage, only the most gifted individuals with the strongest bloodlines were qualified to use the character "Ming" in their names.

No wonder this woman was so knowledgeable and possessed so many treasures; she was actually a heaven-gifted daughter of the Gold Scale Lineage.

However...

He had never heard of the name Mingyan.

It stood to reason that this woman must be a hidden talent within the Gold Scale Lineage.

He did not dwell on this matter for too long.

Regardless of her background, since she was under his control, she could no longer pose the slightest threat to him.

Soon.

He regained his composure and began to look Mingyan over.

A look of admiration appeared on his face.

A flash of panic crossed Mingyan's face, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"Look at how anxious you are."

"Forget it."

"I will grant your wish."

Twenty days later.

Wang Jianqiang took a large step back.

"Shameless thief, I will definitely make you regret this!"

Mingyan stared at Wang Jianqiang, her face full of hatred.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and took a large step forward.

Another twenty days passed.

"You shameless bastard, I will definitely kill you."

Another twenty days passed again.

"What? Keep cursing, why don't you?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mingyan with a smile.

Mingyan's face was pale and she was listless.

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a look of terror flashed across her face.

She did not dare to speak again.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang laughed, "That's more like it; cursing your master is wrong, you must correct it."

"Now..."

"Call me Master and let me hear it."

This time, Wang Jianqiang did not use the Beast Taming Art to control her.

Upon hearing this, Mingyan's expression flickered for a moment before she finally whispered, "Master."

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face immediately grew richer.

"Very good, that's more like it."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and returned Mingyan's Magic Dress to her.

Half a day later.

Mingyan had mostly recovered.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mingyan and asked, "How much do you know about this Phantom Spirit Realm?"

Mingyan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, "Do you know if there is an Ocean Heart in this Phantom Spirit Realm?"

Mingyan glanced at Wang Jianqiang and nodded again.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang looked delighted, "Where is the Ocean Heart?"

Mingyan pointed to the mountain peak beneath their feet.

"This mountain peak is over twenty thousand zhang high, ten thousand zhang above the sea and ten thousand zhang below."

"The Ocean Heart is in the ocean, at the base of this mountain peak."

Upon hearing this, the joy on Wang Jianqiang's face faded, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Not to mention the powerful demonic beasts within the ocean.

Even the pressure at a depth of ten thousand zhang is not something he can withstand.

Let alone ten thousand zhang.

A depth of five thousand zhang is the limit he can currently reach.

Thinking of this, he looked at Mingyan, "Is there a shortcut that leads to the bottom of the mountain?"

"No."

Mingyan shook her head.

Wang Jianqiang frowned, "What about inside this mountain? If one were to tunnel through this mountain to enter the seabed, would that be feasible?"

The mountain body of this peak is incomparably hard.

Tunneling in would be very slow, but it could solve the problem of seawater pressure and eliminate the risks posed by the demonic beasts in the ocean.

In his view, it was worth a try.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mingyan's gaze flickered.

She wanted to nod and say it was possible.

But the next moment.

That familiar impulse appeared again, suppressing her own will and making her involuntarily blurt out the truth.

"It is not possible."

"This peak was derived with a mass of Spirit Water and a Moon Core as its center."

"Over countless years, the gathered moon power and water power have reached a nearly terrifying degree."

"Compared to this ocean and the vast sky, this peak might be somewhat small, but the water power contained within it is likely more than that of this entire ocean, and the moon power contained within is no less than all the clouds in the sky combined."

"The surface of the peak is only the most fragile part; the further in one goes, the more solid it becomes."

"Let alone you, even a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator could not break through this peak."

"What's more, even if you could break through this peak, could you withstand the eruption of this peak's power?"

"Once this peak is breached, the power gathered within for countless years will run wild. Unless one is a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator, even a Great Vehicle Perfection Cultivator would surely die."

After hearing Mingyan's explanation, Wang Jianqiang's heart trembled, and he immediately dismissed this thought.

But then again.

If this peak were truly, as Mingyan said, evolved from a mass of Spirit Water and a Moon Core as its foundation.

After being nourished for so many years.

Just how powerful must that mass of Spirit Water and that Moon Core be?

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang could not help but swallow his saliva.

Following that, he shook his head again.

Treasures are good.

But wanting to obtain them is not that easy.

According to Mingyan, unless a legendary Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator arrives in person, there is not the slightest possibility of taking those two treasures out of the mountain.

After coming back to his senses.

He revealed a look of contemplation.

Wanting to dive into the area ten thousand zhang below this ocean, relying solely on himself, he certainly could not do it.

Since that is the case, he can only seek external help.

Right now, the only one who can help is her.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang subconsciously reached out and touched the Necklace around his neck.

In the Necklace Space, it was dim and empty.

A figure was suspended in mid-air, sitting cross-legged, with Spiritual Power circulating endlessly within her body.

She had beautiful long blue hair, and set off by a blue dress, her skin, like congealed fat, was dazzlingly white.

As the Spiritual Power in her body circulated continuously, a thick aura was revealed, flickering in and out; the intensity of the aura had already reached the Integration Mid-Stage.

Ever since she had crazily reaped benefits from Wang Jianqiang back then.

Wang Jianqiang seemed to be on guard against her and had not again generously gifted her resources as he did that time.

This also caused her cultivation speed to be slashed to the ankles after recovering to Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection in a short period.

After so many years of bitter cultivation, she had only just managed to recover to the Integration Mid-Stage.

Having experienced a cultivation speed that felt like flying, how could she continue to be satisfied with this turtle-crawling cultivation speed?

She missed the initial cultivation speed immensely.

It is just a pity that since that time, Wang Jianqiang had never given her the chance again.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in this dim space.

The next moment.

A figure appeared.

It was none other than Wang Jianqiang.

Upon learning that the Ocean Heart was ten thousand zhang below the seabed, Wang Jianqiang thought of Lan Nianbing.

To enter the area ten thousand zhang deep in the seabed,

at least an Integration Late Stage Cultivator would be required to have a chance, and that is not even considering the threat of the seabed demonic beasts.

At least Integration Stage Perfection is needed to ensure a certain level of safety.

Lan Nianbing was once a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator; as long as she recovers to Integration Stage Perfection, her combat power could at least rival a Dongxu Initial Stage Cultivator, or even higher.

At that time.

With her taking him into the ten-thousand-zhang deep region of the seabed to search for the Ocean Heart, it would surely be foolproof.

After making up his mind.

He ordered Mingyan to stay on the mountaintop, while he himself found an opportunity to slip out of Mingyan's sight and enter this Necklace Space.

After entering the Necklace Space, Wang Jianqiang immediately looked up at Lan Nianbing, who was currently cultivating.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Bingbing."
