Free Web NovelChapter 647: Chapter 423: Star Sea (2)
"Such dense water Qi..."
That was something Lin Xiao had never felt before.
His Divine Sense expanded, able to encompass the entire small island.
Islands, Lin Xiao had seen some islands in the lakes he encountered before.
Only this island was surrounded by an endless ocean.
"Immortal Master!"
"You’re awake?"
A few men and women approached, speaking to Lin Xiao respectfully.
Lin Xiao glanced at them; they were all mortal villagers.
There was a faint smell of fish on them.
"Immortal Master, are you here to collect rent..."
"We didn’t have a good harvest this month, could the Immortal Master grant us a few extra days?"
Lin Xiao’s eyelid twitched.
What kind of sect collects rent from mortal villagers, that’s quite disappointing.
Yet Lin Xiao could faintly sense a look of fear in their eyes.
In Lin Xiao’s homeland, whether in Chen Kingdom or the Cultivation Realm, mortal villagers revered cultivators rather than fearing them simply.
Cultivators, except for evil cultivators, would never act against mortals.
But Lin Xiao had just rested a while in the humble cottage when he noticed a few figures flying towards him.
Lin Xiao’s Divine Sense scanned these people carefully.
"They all cultivate water attribute cultivation techniques..."
"It makes sense, in this boundless sea... water attribute Spiritual Qi is the most abundant, even accounting for more than fifty percent. One should cultivate water attribute Spiritual Qi unless one’s water Spirit Root is really lacking."
"It’s just..." Lin Xiao felt the boundless ocean again, his heart skipped a beat; he was still not quite used to being by the ocean.
"Collecting rent! Everyone come out!"
The shouting voice came from outside.
Several cultivators stood arrogantly on high ground and spoke.
The fishermen timidly came out.
Just like when they encountered Lin Xiao, they began to explain.
However, those cultivators wouldn’t listen.
"I don’t care, you have one more day to gather enough Silver-Scaled Fish, otherwise..."
"Hmph, don’t blame us for being rude."
Lin Xiao walked out, expressionless.
He asked a fisherman beside him, "What are Silver-Scaled Fish?"
"Is it that one?"
Lin Xiao pointed to a small cluster of fish drying in the sun not far away.
The fisherman dumbly nodded.
At this moment, those cultivators finally noticed Lin Xiao.
"You..."
They were about to speak, but their eyes widened suddenly, feeling Lin Xiao’s powerful aura, their legs weakened, and they involuntarily kneeled down.
Lin Xiao said nothing, simply rose into the air.
The True Essence on him surged and a sword light flew towards the sea surface.
Having cultivated the Golden Orb Seven Transformations, Lin Xiao had completed the second transformation. His True Essence was incredibly dense, coupled with his Late-Stage Golden Core cultivation and his absolute control over True Essence.
Three sword beams struck the sea surface.
Immediately, countless silver waves descended from the sky.
These waves were entirely composed of the Silver-Scaled Fish demanded by these local cultivators.
"These, are they enough."
Lin Xiao said indifferently.
"Also... that big one..."
"Golden Wheel Sword, second strike! Taibai Descends!"
A sword light descended.
A gigantic Silver-Scaled Fish with cultivation reaching Demon King was pierced through by a single sword.
"Adding this one, is it enough."
The fishermen saw the miraculous scene and kneeled on the ground, chanting "Immortal" with reverence.
The cultivators were trembling like leaves.
"Se...Senior..."
"We have failed to recognize your eminence, please forgive us, Senior!"
"Senior! We deserve to die!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, only saying, "These people have done me a favor, consider this as payment for your rent collection."
"At least... consider it repayment for a cycle."
Lin Xiao said calmly.
The cultivators hurriedly nodded.
Following this, Lin Xiao began asking several questions.
He made his move thinking it might deter these local cultivators from seeking resources from him.
Soon, Lin Xiao had a rough understanding of the basic information of the Starsea.
These cultivators came from a small sect called Sea-Viewing Sect, which sounded nice, but in reality, they were advanced fishermen, gaining Spirit Fish to exchange it with other cultivators for information.
The reason they had mortals fishing Silver-Scaled Fish was because of its high value.
At times, it could replace Low-grade Spirit Stone.
However, this area of the sea had a powerful Silver Scale Fish King, and if cultivators attempted to capture it, they might alert the Demon King.
However, mortals were different; their fishing wouldn’t attract the attention of the Demon King.
Lin Xiao’s recent strike had killed that Demon King.
Seeing Lin Xiao’s amiable attitude, everyone invited him to visit Sea-Viewing Sect.
Lin Xiao naturally agreed.
[Year 6872 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao arrived at the Starsea, helped by Sea-Viewing Sect, Lin Xiao gained a rough understanding of the current situation of Starsea...]
This Starsea had not many Demon Race members.
Instead, the Sea Race was rather prosperous.
The Human Race and Sea Race were in conflict with each other.
All of Starsea seemed vibrant and full of life.
Because Starsea was so vast, with Sea Race activity rampant among it.
Hence, Human Race Divinity Transformation Cultivators specifically came to this ocean, establishing many space transmission arrays...
......
[Year 6873 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao used connections of Sea-Viewing Sect to head to the Island Market, consequently obtaining more information...]
Due to numerous space transmission arrays.
News spread more easily over the sea than on land.
Among the various pieces of information Lin Xiao inquired about, Zhong Heng keenly noticed a few points.
"Two Divinity Transformation cultivators once reached the Starsea..."
"But the Sea Race also has a Divinity Transformation!?"
Zhong Heng found it somewhat unbelievable.
Considering there were only three Divinity Transformation in the entire Ten Thousand Realms Alliance.
And now, a small Starsea had three Divinity Transformation?
Human Race having one Divinity Transformation was one thing, but a Sea Race Divinity Transformation surprised Zhong Heng.
"Currently there’s one Divinity Transformation guarding Starsea... does it suggest relations between the Sea Race Divinity Transformation and the Human Race aren’t very good..."
"Must find out where the Divinity Transformation is stationed..."
"But... legends? Hmm?"
"There are also rumors about the Cosmic Star Bead here?"
"But actually, not seventy-two beads, only three beads?"
Zhong Heng rather delighted.
If it were seventy-two beads, Zhong Heng would have sneered.
But with only three beads, it meant these Cosmic Star Pearl could possibly reach or be close to the level of the Seventy-Two Pearls in Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
"Interesting..."
Most critically, the Cosmic Star Pearl should be somehow related to World Origin.
Thus, it shouldn’t be moved for now.
However, Zhong Heng was determined to thoroughly investigate this world, even reclaiming and liberating the Luo Book.
Luo Book, was Zhong Heng’s true purpose for coming to this world.
Before seeing the Luo Book, nothing else mattered.
Currently, the plan was to make Lin Xiao stronger...
In the market, Lin Xiao was shaken all over, he could feel the pendant on his waist slowly emitting Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Qi absorbed directly by him.
It even rivaled the concentration spread from top-grade Spirit Stones.
[Year 6893 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao became an Elder of the major sect Sea Sky Sect.]
[Sea Sky Sect was formerly a Nascent Soul Sect, this generation lost its Nascent Soul status, but among Golden Core sects, it still maintained a leading position.]
[Lin Xiao spent twenty years cultivating fame, aimed at entering Sea Sky Sect to obtain a Nascent Soul Pill in the sect.]
[Year 6900 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao’s Golden Core cultivation reached Perfection, no further progress possible, leaving cultivation focus on Sword Dao.]
[Year 7003 of the New Source Era, two of the sect’s three Nascent Soul Pills were consumed, but no cultivators succeeded.]
[Now only one opportunity remained.]
[Year 7018 of the New Source Era, several major sects allied, waging war over the remaining pill inside Sea Sky Sect.]
[Lin Xiao achieved numerous merits on the battlefield, honing his cultivation impeccably, able to face three opponents unfazed.]
[Yet the sect chose to consume the Nascent Soul Pill, leaving Lin Xiao in despair.]
[You saw Lin Xiao well-seasoned and casually handed him a top-grade Nascent Soul Pill in his stunned expression...]
