Chapter 348: Moonless Sea, Hidden Dragon Abyss
Chapter 348: Moonless Sea, Hidden Dragon Abyss
The desolate cold wind blew up dust all over the sky.
The blood-red sky has no sun and no moon. Illusory dragon shadows are circling and dancing, and there are chaotic and disordered laws... dividing the sky into pieces.
All I could see was blood.
The dark red earth, the blood-stained sky, and the dreamy crimson cliffs like glass are flickering with faint light.
It stretches endlessly.
Zhao Qing slowly withdrew his gaze from the distance. He was quite accepting of this amazing starry view. The only thing that surprised him was...
The extravagance of the blood-stained clothes does not seem to be reflected here, there is only coldness and desolation.
The Blood Jade Spirit Boat was controlled by Meng Xue and was moving rapidly across this vast land.
Aunt Shuyue and Hong Ning were both staring at the crack in the sky in a daze. They obviously had not expected that Yujing Star Palace would be so desolate and cold.
My aunt seemed lost in thought, muttering softly to herself, "It's been tens of thousands of years since the Dao calamity began, and few people have ever visited the Jade Capital Star Palace... Perhaps that's why it's become desolate?"
Meng Xue glanced back at the calm Gu Qinghuan, feeling a little surprised. She chuckled and explained, "The Blood Robe Star is vast and endless, so it's normal for some desolate places to exist."
Zhao Qing remained calm, quietly holding Shuyue's slender waist and looking into the distance at the blood jade spirit boat disappearing at the end of the sky and earth.
The only people who can come here now, apart from the seniors and officials of the Blood Robe Building, should be the blood sons from various states.
No, there are also Qingrao and other people who travel the world. Since they have made an appointment with Longyuan, they must be able to come too...
"Long Yuan is not here. Let's go through that transmission array to get there." Meng Xue looked at the streaks of light that disappeared before the blood curtain, indicating that Zhao Qing was just passing through here.
"Thank you for your support, Senior Sister."
Zhao Qing thanked him softly, and his originally tense mind gradually relaxed.
This is very safe. The elevator goes directly to Xueyi, and then from Xueyi to Longyuan. It won't take much time at all, and no one will come to kill Xuezi.
Although all the Blood-Clothes shops throughout the world are called Blood-Clothes Tower, all the disciples of Yujing know that only the star that occasionally flashes with an enchanting red glow in the night sky is the real Blood-Clothes Tower.
Killing the Blood Son here is as difficult as crushing the heaven, earth and stars.
When three or five Nascent Soul Transformation Gods arrived here, they were like the innate warriors standing outside the gate of Changsheng Sword Mountain, unable to cause any waves.
After all, a fifth-level disciple as strong as Zhang Jinyi is just a prominent disciple of the Divine Transformation Realm who has emerged in the past thousand years, while Yujing Xingque has been preaching the Dharma in the world for 30,000 years... It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Zhao Qing only felt that in this desolate and bloody world, the occasional chat and laughter of a few big men stronger than Si He seemed reasonable and logical.
Soon, their spirit boat arrived in front of the blood curtain. Without any words or communication, and without seeing anyone guarding the formation... it just passed through directly.
hum!
In an instant, his spiritual consciousness shook and surged, and the world before his eyes turned blood-red.
Zhao Qing unconsciously held Qinghuan's fair wrist tightly. With her weak consciousness now... the discomfort brought by the transmission was obviously more intense.
However, Qinghuan only tensed his body for a moment.
The blood color in front of the six people's eyes had not yet faded when they felt the raging spiritual energy and cold wind around them.
The deep sea water surged and rippled, and the huge waves swept over, occasionally making a dull rumbling sound.
The low hum of the sea breeze, mixed with the laughter of men and women, reached my ears.
"This place is Longyuan."
Zhao Qing heard Meng Xue's condensed voice in his ears, and the shaking Niwan Palace finally calmed down a little.
He glanced at everything around him, then temporarily suppressed the shock in his heart and extended his spiritual sense to comfort Qinghuan's weak mind.
Auntie and Hong Ning walked lightly, accompanied Shuyue and stood beside Zhao Qing, and together they watched... the deep ocean under the cold night.
To be precise, there is no difference between day and night here. All you can see is the raging sea water. Even the usual clouds, stars and moon have disappeared.
Without the moonlight, the deep ocean appears lifeless, as dark as ink, yet bold and turbulent, as if it will overturn the heaven and earth and destroy all things at any time, which makes people shudder.
But in contrast, there were countless fairy palaces and pavilions floating on the sea, with male and female cultivators chatting and laughing, and occasionally someone would look at Zhao Qing and his party with a kind gaze.
Zhao Qing knew in his heart that these people were blood sons and spectators, just like family members who followed him, or they might be walkers like Ji Meng or disciples of the holy land.
"Is this the vast ocean outside the Ninety States?" Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel confused.
But this time, Si He was not sure either. He just said, "Maybe. Just waiting and watching... we can't tell much."
Zhao Qing extended his spiritual sense into the ocean, but was blocked by a strange force.
He did not use Huo Ze Kui to spy on her, as it might be a futile effort and his tactics might be seen through by someone with ulterior motives.
"The Blood Son of Yongning Prefecture has arrived."
An indifferent and majestic spiritual fluctuation spread, instantly drawing countless gazes towards Zhao Qing's family.
At the same time, among the continuous fairy palaces and flying pavilions, a huge green rock palace rose up, with blood-colored patterns all over it. With the help of spiritual consciousness, one can know... This is the palace of Yongning's blood son.
"The one with the dragon's destiny!"
"He is Zhao Qing."
"His spiritual consciousness is weak, so there is no need to worry."
"Is the fortune of the Dragon Fate different from ours?"
“Even if there are some differences, it’s time to stop here.”
Gazes converged, spiritual consciousness intertwined, and some spectators from the Holy Land or Zhang Yang's bloodline disciples spoke directly to communicate.
Zhao Qing ignored everything and gently squeezed Qinghuan's slender hand. After a brief communication with Meng Xue, he directly drove another blood boat and brought his family into his own palace.
As the restrictions in the palace opened automatically, the intertwined spiritual consciousness in the surroundings instantly became silent, and the unbridled talking and laughing disappeared like the wind.
Arriving here, Zhao Qingcai smiled again. He swept his consciousness through the palace and chuckled, "It's not much different from the main hall of the Blood God Temple. We have to live here for the time being."
"We?" Auntie seemed to be thinking about something and said doubtfully.
Without Meng Xue by his side and no one watching him, Zhao Qing felt a lot more relaxed. He put his arm around Shuyue's slender waist and caressed her hair affectionately, then relayed Meng Xue's message to his aunt and Ningmei.
"The Dragon Abyss will open in three days. Before that, I will naturally accompany you."
Hong Ning held a communication jade in her hand and explained with a smile, "This palace of ours was not easy to come by..."
"According to Fairy Bone, those spectators who want to watch the Dragon Abyss battle up close are willing to pay a thousand high-grade spirit stones for each Fairy Palace and Pavilion, and they can take them away after the trial is over."
How many! ?
Zhao Qing slowly frowned, looked at his aunt, and then they both smiled.
The blood-stained clothes...are really killing people.
For the blood sons who participated in the trial, naturally each of them had their own place of practice. People like Meng Xue naturally also had a place to drink tea and bathe.
But if an unrelated cultivator wants to observe Long Yuan, no matter if he is a disciple of the Holy Land or a member of his branch, he must spend 10 million spirit stones to buy a house, or at least three or five people must group together to buy a flying pavilion.
Of course, the house can be taken away after Longyuan is over - if they need it.
"VIP seat, Xiao Zhang still has work to do." Si He complained at the right time.
"This wave is really profitable." Zhao Qing responded casually.
He turned to Ning Mei and smiled, "Didn't you have an appointment with Fairy Bone? Let's go sightseeing in the next two days."
"After I enter Longyuan, if you feel bored, call Xiaoyi to accompany you to explore the Bone Fairy."
"Shuyue and I will not go. After this matter is settled, we will accompany Qinghuan to go to Guzhou to express our gratitude."
Hong Ning smiled and shook her head: "I won't go either. I'll accompany you then."
……
……
On this vast ocean without sun or moon, the passage of time seems to have become blurred.
One after another, Qingyan palaces rose high into the sky, and blood sons from other states arrived one after another.
The fairy palaces and flying pavilions that were originally connected and dependent on each other were now scattered, floating quietly in the sky, filled with spectators from all over the world.
According to Zhao Qing and his aunt's observations over the past three days, some of them are disciples from the holy land in Zhongzhou, as well as descendants of clans with a long history. Naturally, those vast immortal clans have plenty of opportunities to touch the way to Yujing.
In addition, there are also many close friends who came with the blood sons from various states and want to see Long Yuan’s past blood sons.
Twenty-two fairy pavilions lean against each other to form a beautiful scene.
Among them, the air is filled with the fragrance of jade, and the sounds of orioles and swallows are endless. They are all female cultivators with unparalleled beauty.
There was a flying pavilion surrounded by talismans and soaring high into the sky, and there was also a demonic energy raging in the depths of the Immortal Palace...
It was not until a female cultivator walking in the air appeared that the world became quiet again.
The woman was wearing a dark blue robe that looked like a painting made of ink. Her slender waist was tightly bound with a crimson jade belt. Her appearance was elegant and peerless, and her figure was graceful and exquisite, which made Zhao Qing feel a little unfamiliar for a moment.
The fifth senior sister in blood-stained clothes, Zhang Jinyi!
The heroic Senior Sister Zhang looked much more dignified and gentle after changing into ordinary clothes.
Zhang Jin swept his eyes across the many green palaces and pavilions, smiled sweetly, and said briskly, "Blood sons have all arrived, let's enter the abyss."
"Storage treasures cannot enter, and fusion spirit tools cannot enter."
"Gu, arrays, incense, pills, talismans, banners, beasts, puppets... none of them are allowed to enter."
As the woman waved her slender hand, a dazzling crimson star appeared in the sky, making the whole world seem even more gloomy and cold.
Wisps of blood-red light merged into the vast ocean, and a fluorescent glow gradually appeared above the deep sea surface. The endless wonders below also became clearly visible - but no dragon corpse or immortal bones were seen.
Zhao Qing only took a glance, and Si He immediately said in his mind: "If you want to fight monsters, those blood rays have been enlightened. There should be various secret realms in Longyuan."
Zhao Qing nodded secretly, but he was more concerned about two other points.
He probably couldn't bring the Han Guang Sword in, but he had been studying the true meaning of Han Guang these days, so it was okay for him to not use the sword.
As for the other point... naturally it is whether the transmission of thoughts between him and Si He will be interrupted after he enters Longyuan.
Zhang Jin gathered her slender hands together in her sleeves, her beautiful eyes sweeping across the numerous green palaces. She continued in a slow voice, "In previous generations, the three souls entered the abyss. This generation, however, does not have these obstacles. We can just go straight in."
As he finished speaking, the blood-red stars in the night sky shone brightly, and a strange dark green monument floated between heaven and earth, with no writing or words on it.
At the same time, three blood sons instantly flew up and rushed directly into the ocean and disappeared without causing any ripples.
The Blood Jade Tokens they carried with them suddenly disappeared.
The enchanting red light cast by the stars was reflected by the vast ocean, and inscriptions slowly emerged on the strange monument.
Jiuyanzhou, Wanzheng.
Xuanfengzhou, Tian Xiaohai.
Linghua Prefecture, Xingquan.
This is obviously the name of the blood boy who just entered the abyss.
Another majestic and vast dragon roar was heard, and three illusory dragon shadows flew down from the stars, following the three people into the ocean.
"The Azure Dragon has entered my life!" A demon cultivator suddenly spoke in a rough voice.
The Azure Dragon entering one's life has been a symbol of the blood child since ancient times. When the blood child enters the Dragon Abyss, the dragon's shadow will entwine the soul... This is what is being said at this moment.
"Dragon's Fate..."
Another soft female moan came from Tianxiang's flying pavilion.
These two consecutive words did not cause much noise, but they drew everyone's attention back to... the Qingyan Palace belonging to Yongning Prefecture.
Zhao Qing, the blood son of Yongning, is the person who has been rumored to have the Azure Dragon enter his life recently. He has obtained the dragon's fate before entering the dragon abyss!
Zhao Qing naturally stood on the palace balcony and watched. He calmed himself down, gently rubbed his wife's shoulders and said with a smile, "Wait for me at home."
After comforting his wife with a smile, he jokingly scratched Qinghuan's palm, then took two steps to the carved railing and looked back at the many scrutinizing eyes with a smile.
Shuyue pursed her cherry lips and quickly followed her husband. Her bright eyes flashed with a cold light as she glanced coldly at the many blood sons and immortal guests.
My aunt was wearing a men's brocade robe. She had a delicate head and beautiful eyebrows, and was very graceful and elegant, but her face was extremely cold, and her beautiful eyes showed a coldness that kept people away from her.
She unconsciously turned the jade ring on her slender finger, and also slowly walked to accompany Shuyue, looking back at the curiosity and hostility with her husband.
Qinghuan fell last, still looking at her master with tenderness in her eyes. Hongning was a little dull, as if in a trance, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
The blood sons of various states jumped into the ocean one after another. Occasionally, someone who entered the abyss looked at Zhao Qing with contempt and sneered from afar. Zhao Qing naturally responded with the most friendly smile.
The shadow of a dragon roared and rolled between heaven and earth, and the strange monument became even more mysterious. Lines of blood turned into the names of states and were engraved on it.
Scattered talismans, spiritual rings, jade pendants, and other items were floating on the sea, but they were all blocked by Longyuan and could not enter.
Zhang Jinyi continued to narrate slowly: "Dragon Abyss opened this time, with a total of eighty-one blood sons."
"Thunder Emperor Province, Thousand Illusions Province, Dark Sorrow Province, Huafeng Province, Yunmo Province... The blood son died and was unable to enter the abyss."
……
Zhao Qing quietly watched the dragon shadows pour into the ocean. After calming himself down, he said goodbye to his family and prepared to go in.
But it is also at this moment!
"Zhao Qing!"
A light voice called out, making the world noisy again.
Even though someone had mentioned the Azure Dragon entering one's fate before, and everyone knew it in their hearts, no one had ever called out the name of the Yongning blood son.
Thousands of eyes were focused on Zhang Jinyi, who looked sideways with a smile in her beautiful eyes. The fairy palace was floating in the sky, and Qingrao also looked over with a playful look.
Zhao Qing: ???
Not only was his aunt and Shuyue stunned, even he himself didn't react.
Who else could be calling him!?
Of course, it’s Sister Ning who is the most gentle and lovely.
Chu Hongning ignored Zhao Qing's voiced farewell, and walked briskly behind him with a smile, her goose yellow gauze dress and the ribbons on her sleeves dancing in the wind.
The fighting spirit that Zhao Qing had just expressed disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Looking back at the many hostile looks, he was secretly thinking about how to kill these people... but Ning Mei's backstab came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.
Damn, is he a social cow?!
Zhao Qing ignored the chaotic gazes from heaven and earth, turned around, put his arm around Ning Mei's slender waist, and chuckled, "What's wrong, Ning'er?"
Chu Hongning laughed and looked over the man's shoulder, meeting her aunt Shuyue's gaze. Then she raised her hand to comb her flowing black hair and met Zhao Qing's eyes.
Her bright eyes rippled as she whispered, "I love being entangled with you, walking with you, playing and chatting with you, gazing at you from afar, holding your hand and whispering with you... resentment is also joy."
"I wouldn't go to Mingshang to see you, but Longyuan is approaching, and I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid that you'll die in Longyuan, and I, Chu Hongning, will never see you again in this life."
"I'm also afraid that you'll become a walking corpse, thinking Ning'er is just a flatterer and not worth mentioning."
"Now that Ning'er's life is decided, I only pray...for my husband's safety."
Hong Ning's cheeks were as red as blood, and she smiled easily: "Ning'er used to act unreasonably, and your husband always agreed and accompanied her. Will you blame me today?"
Zhao Qing closed his eyes slightly, sighed with regret, and hugged the woman tightly and tenderly.
Ning Mei ran back to Chu without telling me, is that true?
He rubbed the woman's burning ears, exchanged a glance with Aunt Shuyue, and finally looked into Qinghuan's smiling eyes...
Fortunately, the people around him were already looking at him, so he didn't feel so hopeless now.
"When I come back, I will travel around the world with you." Zhao Qing gently comforted Ning Mei, saying that he had never blamed her for being unreasonable.
The woman's bright watery eyes stopped fluttering, and were slightly moist. She couldn't wait to stand on tiptoe and offer her red lips.
Her beautiful profile appears even more rosy amidst the flying blood-red dragon shadows.
