Chapter 2585: This………is a divine artifact!

I had already been worrying about Ye Zhangqing's issue, and now I heard this Elder who has always opposed me openly say they want to eliminate Ye Zhangqing first.

Ling Yunyi's grandfather immediately could not sit still.

"Impossible, we absolutely cannot act against Ye Zhangqing; sacrificing others is fine, but this child must be safely sent out of my Heavenly Spirit Tribe, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver later."

Ling Yunyi's grandfather had no other recourse; he only wished to protect Ye Zhangqing, and didn't care what happened to anyone else.

But regarding this, the elder who spoke up immediately retorted.

"Hah, foolish, that Huang is Ye Zhangqing's Protector of the Way; how could Ye Zhangqing be kept? Kill him first."

"We've come to this point, what reservations do you still have? Don't forget, this matter was ordained by the Spirit Ancestor."

"You………………………"

The other party's rebuttal made Ling Yunyi's grandfather furious, but he could not find any rebuttal at a moment's notice.

After all, this matter was indeed personally decided by the Spirit Ancestor; since they had consulted the Spirit Ancestor, they obviously had no reason to change it, and simply needed to obey.

More importantly, none of the other elders spoke up for Ling Yunyi's grandfather at this moment.

Everyone chose to obey the Spirit Ancestor's orders; even if Ling Yunyi's grandfather disagreed, he was alone and unable to resist.

Even by the end, the other elders no longer bothered to ask for his opinion, and simply discussed among themselves.

Finally, they even issued a warning.

"We know your grandson has recently been getting close to the Human Race, but given the situation, we still hope you prioritize the bigger picture."

"You……………………………"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunyi's grandfather's expression darkened, he grit his teeth in silence, but ultimately still did not utter a rebuttal.

He truly did not know how to respond to that.

As an elder of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, he naturally would not commit treason against his tribe, but this matter……………………would surely bring a catastrophe upon the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

If Ye Zhangqing dies, the Human Race will surely go berserk; can the Sea God withstand it?

Ling Yunyi's grandfather did not know this, while on the other side, Ye Zhangqing's group was under the sea.

As the Sea God ingredient came out of the pot, its rich aroma had already filled the entire space.

Ye Zhangqing's dish was very simple: a plate of raw fish slices and a pot of fish bone soup.

Nevertheless, its tempting appearance made everyone salivate.

Mainly because this is a supreme ingredient, everyone wanted to taste it to see what flavor it was.

As the dish came out of the pot, everyone gathered around and looked toward Huang Lao.

And Huang Lao's eyes shone as he spoke.

"Let's eat."

Immediately, everyone was not polite, each acting swiftly, as fast as lightning.

Before they could even see the motion, the fish meat had already entered their mouths; it could be called divine speed.

And as the fish slices entered their mouths, a fresh fragrance instantly filled their entire oral cavity.

That flavor made everyone simply unable to stop.

Compared to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient, this flavor was even more clear and sweet.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing had not done much processing to the raw fish slices; they were basically in their original state, with just a dipping sauce.

Such a simple cooking method yielding such good taste shows that the ingredient itself is extraordinary.

If any other Immortal Chef were to make it, it would surely be a rare delicacy.

A Heavenly Family Elder could not help but sigh.

"Delicious, delicious, are the Immortal Chefs of Beyond the Heavens all useless? After all these years, they haven't even discovered such a delicious ingredient; what have they been doing all day?"

He also did not forget to complain.

Besides Ye Zhangqing, I doubt anyone could have imagined that the Sea God long worshipped by the Heavenly Spirit Tribe would actually be a delicacy.

Moreover, even if they knew, few would dare to act as recklessly as Ye Zhangqing and his companions.

After all, in the hearts of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, the Sea God has always been revered as a divine being; to eat the deity they worship is excessive.

First, the exquisite flavor made everyone unable to stop, but immediately afterward, everyone felt a slight coolness within their bodies that quickly spread throughout.

The meridians, bones, and flesh within, under the washing of this icy coolness, seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

Inside the body's skin, clumps of black impurities were also being expelled bit by bit.

This feeling was like washing the tendons and purifying the marrow.

"How could this be………………………"

It wasn't surprise at the tendon-washing and marrow-purifying, but rather that everyone had cultivated to this level.

Even Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping, the lowest in cultivation, could be said to have nearly achieved an immaculate body.

Their interiors already had no impurities; how could they still undergo tendon-washing and marrow-purifying? What is being washed?

In their astonishment, even Huang Lao likewise expelled a thin layer of black impurity from his entire skin.

Even he, who is the Present Era's Strongest, was forcibly subjected to a tendon-washing and marrow-purifying once; this is absurd.

Even though he is the Present Era's Strongest, does he still have impurities inside?

However, surprise aside, everyone carefully sensed and found no problem.

On the contrary, they only felt their bodies had become much lighter, with an indescribable transformation.

They had never experienced such a thing before, but as of now it seems to be a good thing rather than a bad one.

Unable to explain it, they immediately employed a technique to cleanse the black impurities from their body surfaces, after all the taste indeed had a somewhat unpleasant odor.

"I feel as if my whole being has been sublimated."

"Me too."

"It's truly amazing."

Everyone sighed in succession, unable to explain why, but just felt refreshed.

A whole Sea God ingredient was swept clean by everyone; although still somewhat unsatisfied, they did not press further.

Being able to taste the flavor of this supreme ingredient made the trip worthwhile.

Two Sea God ingredients remained, naturally collected by Ye Zhangqing into his Space Ring for later eating.

After all, only three Sea God ingredients were found in total, their quantity extremely scarce, kept for later to relieve hunger.

But that idea changed when Xu Jie somehow found a round water droplet.

The water droplet in Xu Jie's hand condensed and did not disperse, its surface flowing with faint water-wave light.

At the same time, from within it occasionally came unintelligible low roars, the same sound as before from those three Sea God ingredients.

Moreover, the water droplet bore patches of red dots, some nearby, others clustered on the opposite side.

Everyone gathered around, curiously looking at the water droplet, some feeling suspicious.

"What is this thing? Is the sound inside pre-recorded? Similar to a Latent Image Talisman treasure?"

"Nonsense, Latent Image Talisman, you didn't see the red dots on this?"

"What could these red dots represent?"

For a moment everyone was at a loss, until Xu Jie spoke suspiciously, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Seniors, do you think this could be a magical artifact the Sea Gods use to communicate with each other, similar to the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán, with the red dots likely indicating the locations of other Sea God ingredients?"

"Huh???"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
