Protagonist:
Xu Changqing
Stowing the Mayfly Divine Fire, Xu Changqing rose from the ground.
The ground covering Qiong Valley had just been torn open by the Zixiao Divine Thunder, leaving a gap through which the outside scenery could even be seen, so he did not need to return by the original route.
When he arrived outside, his mind moved, and he once again cast the divine ability "Shrinking the Earth to Inches".
His figure flashed and he was a thousand li away, his speed extremely fast.
Before long, Xu Changqing arrived at the Outer Perimeter of the Lingqu Sect, less than a hundred li from the Mountain Gate. Just as he prepared to accelerate back, he keenly sensed a spatial fluctuation coming from the mid-air ahead.
This fluctuation was initially not very obvious, but as time passed, it actually began to attract the surrounding Water Spirit Qi to gather, and finally started rotating clockwise.
After a short while, the middle position split open from top to bottom, dense Water Spirit Qi spilled out, then a crack a zhang wide formed, and immediately three figures leaped out.
Their forms were no different from humans, yet they bore obvious Foreign Race characteristics.
On both sides of their ear lobes, there were actually dense blue scale patterns, the lines spreading to the jaw, rippling with a dim light as they breathed.
Their skin tone was pale, and there were also scattered scale patterns on their necks.
In attire, all three wore a set of blue tight-fitting clothes, unknown what fabric they were made of, the whole emitting a matte luster; the collar, cuffs, and waist sides were reinforced with silver hard scales.
The two on the left had tall, straight figures, sharp eyes, emitting a powerful aura.
The one on the right had a thin figure, head slightly lowered, eyes evasive; he kept scanning the surroundings, looking like he was afraid of being discovered.
"Finally out!"
"This damn spatial crack nearly drained this old man's Water Spirit Qi dry!"
"Although this realm's Spirit Qi is not as dense as the Cangming Realm, it wins in purity; there must be natives nearby, perfect to replenish our losses!"
The man on the far left seemed to be a chatterbox, opening his mouth and speaking without end.
Another listened and nodded in agreement: "Correct!
Find a few natives to replenish our losses, and while we're at it probe the situation of this world.
If suitable, send word back, and have our clansmen migrate over in batches."
"Impossible!"
The man on the far right hurriedly shook his head, his voice even trembling: "The Chief sent us out to scout the way, not to stir up trouble.
Our cultivation isn't top-tier to begin with; if we alarm the experts of this world, we definitely won't escape then. Better to find a place to hide, lie low for a while, wait until we've figured out the Spirit Qi density and the Local Power situation, then make plans."
"Lie low?"
"You coward!"
"It's precisely because you're this timid that you've been stuck in the Linghe Realm for a lifetime!"
"The Cangming Realm's rule is the weak are prey to the strong; how can you advance without devouring others?"
"Fool, if you don't seize the time to grow stronger now, are you waiting to be eaten by someone else?"
Facing two overbearing companions, the thin man's eyes were full of fear; he no longer dared to refute, only lowering his head and meekly answering.
Xu Changqing listened for a long while, and stubbornly couldn't understand a single sentence.
It was very obvious, they absolutely were not Tianyuan Realm people; they were definitely Wai Jie people.
Yet they sneaked in furtively, their intentions obviously not good.
Therefore he no longer hid; five streaks of Spiritual Light burst from his palm, instantly transforming into five banners a zhang high, corresponding respectively to the Five Elements Power of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, then rapidly circling in the air, forming a five-colored Light Curtain that completely sealed off the entire District.
"Who?!"
The three Foreign Race members suddenly sensed danger, all looking vigilantly toward the source of the Spiritual Light.
Xu Changqing's figure moved, directly appearing in Front of them, then questioned: "Wai Jie people, why did you infiltrate the Tianyuan Realm?"
"Actually discovered?"
"Aren't you fond of studying Wai Jie culture? What did he say?"
"This realm is actually the Tianyuan Realm, no wonder the Spirit Qi is so pure..."
"Forget it, forget it; since a quality native has delivered himself to our door, perfect to devour his Spirit Qi!"
Not waiting for the thin companion to answer, the two attacked simultaneously.
Only to see a large amount of Water Spirit Qi consumed, then two large fish actually leaped out of thin air; one left, one right, carrying a monstrous fishy smell, they bit viciously at Xu Changqing.
Seeing their companion act, the thin Foreign Race member retreated repeatedly in fright, watching the battle with terrified eyes, yet he didn't even have the courage to make a move.
"Courting death!"
Xu Changqing's face darkened; the Five-Colored Banner rustled in the air, five-colored Spiritual Light gathering into a Light Curtain, blocking the terrifying impact of the two large fish.
Then the Spiritual Light abruptly changed; the Five-Colored Banner drew upon the Spiritual Root Power and poured it within, transforming into a simplified version of the Five-Colored Divine Light, brushing fiercely at the two Foreign Race members who had attacked.
This move was fast to the extreme; the two Foreign Race members were caught off guard, not even raising a defense in time, their bodies instantly quartered.
Even the large fish they had summoned turned into water vapor and dissipated at this moment.
The remaining thin Foreign Race member nearly scared out of his wits; he didn't even have the courage to raise his head, muttering nonstop from his mouth: "Don't kill me!
I don't dare anymore!
I'll never dare again!"
Xu Changqing understood, and asked in surprise: "You're speaking the Tianyuan Realm language?"
The thin Foreign Race member nodded repeatedly: "My aptitude is too poor, so I couldn't compete with others, and had to find another way, choosing to study Wai Jie culture.
The languages of the Tianyuan Realm and Xuanhuang Realm, this humble one knows a thing or two."
Xu Changqing heard this and was thoughtful: "Answer my questions, and I can spare your life!"
The frail outsider nodded quickly, his eyes full of the will to survive: "I'll tell you everything!"
Xu Zhangqing looked down at him and interrogated: "Where are you from?"
The frail outsider replied: "I... we come from the Cangming Realm."
Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows: "The Cangming Realm?"
The frail outsider nodded: "Yes, that is a world wrapped in endless Water Spirit Qi."
"We call ourselves the Xuanlin Clan. We have no distinction of Spiritual Roots; we cultivate by 'Divine Fish Transformation.'"
Xu Zhangqing found it novel and immediately asked: "What is Divine Fish Transformation?"
The frail Xiuxian Zhe quickly answered: "It is transforming one's own Divine Soul into a scaled fish, then devouring the scattered Spiritual Energy."
Before Xu Zhangqing could ask again, he continued: "The Cangming Realm is divided by Spiritual Energy Concentration into the Outer Perimeter Tidal Zone, the middle Deep Abyss Zone, and the core Guiyu Zone."
Xiuxian Zhe of the Tidal Zone can only transform into small fish, while those of the Deep Abyss Zone can transform into large fish.
As for the strong of the Guiyu Zone, they can all transform into Kun.
According to the culture of your Tianyuan Realm, it is big fish eating small fish.
The strong of the Guiyu Zone directly devour their clansmen of the middle level to advance.
"I have poor aptitude and am timid, so I have always been stuck in the Tidal Zone. If not for my passion for studying Wai Jie culture, I wouldn't have been sent out this time to scout the path."
Xu Zhangqing caught the key point: "Scout the path?"
The frail outsider said nervously: "In a hundred years, the Outer Hundred Dragons Patrol will pass through the Cangming Realm, and those Outer Dragon Clans will drain all the Water Spirit Qi of every place they pass."
"The Cangming Realm relies entirely on Water Spirit Qi for support. Once the whole world becomes a dried sea, only the strong of the Cangxu Realm can survive."
Xu Zhangqing asked the key question: "How did you discover the Tianyuan Realm?"
The frail outsider's mouth corner twitched several times before he answered: "Originally we drifted in Spatial Turbulence for a long time, accidentally found a Guiding Spirit Light, then followed its guidance, tore open a rift, and came here!"
