Chapter 55: Chasing to the South China Sea



The South China Sea, judging from its appearance alone, has a water color that is more like sky blue - while the East China Sea is a deep azure.

As for sea-dwelling monsters, there are few monsters in the South China Sea as large as those in the East China Sea, but there are obviously more of them moving in groups... and they are also more sensitive and aggressive.

He shot out the Five Elements Divine Light again, sweeping down all the swordfish. Wei Dongliu looked into the distance and couldn't help but feel a headache.

Where on earth is that golden-whiskered turtle? The ocean is so vast, how long will it take me to find it?

"It should be around here." Qingping Jian said.

"It was nearby thousands of years ago." Wei Dongliu was somewhat speechless. "It's not like this turtle has taken root under its buttocks, how could it have stayed in the same place all this time?"

"Golden-bearded turtles love to eat South China Sea mackerels." Kunlun Mirror reminded, "It is December now, and the mackerels should be hiding from the cold in the ocean currents in the southern waters."

"You are worthy of being Ajing!" Wei Dongliu praised.

If you are unsure about foreign affairs, you should ask Ah Jing. After all, Qing Ping is not as knowledgeable as Ah Jing.

After circling in the air for a while, Wei Dongliu was about to move forward when he suddenly saw a stream of light coming from behind.

"Daoyou Wei!" Witch Jiang stopped her charge in front of him, then showed a fake, relieved smile, "Why haven't you come back for so long? I thought you were captured by Kunlun's people."

The sincere words, coupled with her innocent expression, made Wei Dongliu murmur a little.

Could it be that when I returned to Shiping Mountain, she was really sleeping so soundly that she didn't hear what I said to her?

"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist." Wei Dongliu said with a wry smile, "The trip to Kunlun went smoothly. As for me coming here, it was to find a sword."

"Sword?" Jiang Li'an showed just the right amount of curiosity.

"Well, this sword was found by me for a good friend, and he also provided the information about the sword." Wei Dongliu replied.

"If Fellow Daoist Wei's friends are concerned about it, it must be a tenth-rank immortal sword without a doubt." Jiang Li'an said with a smile.

"No, he didn't use it for his own use. He was also entrusted by someone else. He just had no time to split himself, so he asked me to find the sword." Wei Dongliu said seriously.

First, give Witch Jiang a shot of prevention, letting her know that the Feiyan Sword had "gone around in circles" and "was handed over several times" before finally reaching An Zhisu's hands, in order to distance herself from the relationship between Ling Yunpo and Wei Dongliu.

"Really?" Jiang Li'an laughed and was secretly amazed in his heart.

It sounds like a complicated network of connections? No wonder Wei Dongliu, who was born as a casual cultivator, could know a lot about the general situation in the world. It turned out that he knew many cultivators behind him... With such information about the Immortal Sword, was he born in Penglai or Shushan?

[Mysterious character, synchronization value +1. ]

Wei Dongliu was also slightly surprised when he heard the Kunlun Mirror's reminder.

I just made up a story, how can the synchronization value of the mysterious character also increase? This Jiang witch... her imagination is so strong, it's so cute!

He looked at the other person meaningfully and said with a smile:

"Okay, since Brother Jiang Daoist has come here, do you want to go with me or just go back?"

Jiang Li'an thought quickly for a moment and said with a smile:

"Since we're here, wouldn't it be a disappointment if we just leave now?"

Sure enough, Wei Dong smiled:

"Then let's go, Brother Daoist Jiang."

This witch has an extraordinary curiosity.

Whether this is her true nature or a deliberate disguise, her actions can be predicted, at least temporarily.

The two continued to fly on their swords, and Wei Dongliu explained in detail the target he was looking for and the clues given by the Kunlun Mirror.

"So that's how it is. As long as we find the school of swordfish in the South China Sea, we can follow the clues and find the clues of the golden-whiskered turtle, right?" Jiang Li'an said with a smile, and secretly calculated in his heart, "I know the South China Sea currents. It should be deep in the South China Sea more than a thousand miles south of here."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for leading the way." Wei Dongliu said happily.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally arrived at the deep South China Sea.

The sun was so blazing here that it didn't feel like winter at all. The water below had also turned emerald green, and if you looked closely, you could see a lot of seaweed floating in it.

Jiang Li'an looked down and said:

"The Spanish mackerel feeds on these seaweed fruits, and the golden-whiskered turtle should be not far away—if it really exists."

"It should be in the nearby sea." Wei Dongliu naturally couldn't tell her that the news came from thousands of years ago. He smiled and said, "If we return empty-handed in the end, Brother Jiang won't make this trip in vain."

"You're too polite, Brother Wei." Jiang Li'an covered his mouth and smiled.

After searching for about another hour, the two finally arrived at a small island.

"Is this the place?" Jiang Li'an circled over the island. "It doesn't look like a turtle."

"It is here." Wei Dongliu said with certainty, "The golden-bearded turtle has a shell that is hundreds of miles long. It carries soil to form a mountain and travels back and forth across the ocean. If Daoist Jiang wants to confirm, he can dive under the sea and see if there is a head and four legs at the bottom of the island."

"No need, I naturally believe in you, fellow Taoist." Jiang Li'an said indifferently, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.

The golden-whiskered turtle feeds on sea mackerels, so it usually keeps its head buried under the sea surface.

If I rashly go into the sea, what if it suddenly bites me?

Seeing that she changed her mind, Wei Dongliu pressed the sword light downwards and landed on the edge of a towering bamboo forest.

The two of them had just circled over the island for a long time, and most of the area was clearly visible, except for this dense bamboo forest, where the broken leaves were swaying and it was unclear what was inside.

Moreover, the bamboo forest covered the exact center of the entire island, which made Wei Dongliu even more suspicious.

Jiang Li'an followed him to land and saw a dense bamboo forest in front of him. Each bamboo was almost sixty or seventy feet tall, far exceeding the height that ordinary bamboos could grow.

The bamboos were so densely distributed that it was almost impossible for people to pass through. The two walked around the bamboo forest for a long time before they found a passable wild path.

As we walked into the bamboo forest, the scorching sun above our heads immediately disappeared, and we were surrounded by cool bamboo shade.

"Formation." Wei Dongliu said suddenly.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, do you recognize this formation?" Jiang Li'an asked hurriedly.

"Mustard Seed Sumeru Formation." Wei Dongliu replied. He had seen this formation in the library in the side hall of Guixu in the past. "It is only used to hide the secret realm cave heaven."

"Is there a secret place here?" Jiang Li'an said in astonishment.

"It's hard to say." Wei Dongliu shook his head. "The Mustard Seed Sumeru Formation can accommodate the secret realm, but it doesn't mean it must accommodate the secret realm."

"But it sounds like a very advanced formation?" Jiang Li'an thought thoughtfully.

"At least he is at the level of Earth Immortal." Wei Dongliu replied.

Earth Immortal...Jiang Li'an fell silent.

There are four types of immortals: earthly immortals, celestial immortals, golden immortals and Daluo golden immortals.

Among them, earthly immortals have the lowest rank, the largest number, and the closest connection with the world of cultivation. They are known as "land immortals."

Of course, even the lowest-level immortal cannot be dealt with by two cultivators at the Huafu level.

"The Earth Immortal rank is just a rank, and it doesn't mean that the person who set up the formation is in the formation." Wei Dongliu saw that she was worried, so he comforted her, "This formation itself has no attack capability, so there is no need to worry too much."

Seeing that he was calm and composed, Jiang Li'an also calmed down and thought about it:

How could there be so many immortals on earth in this world? How could we just run into one whenever we wanted? It was probably arranged a long time ago!
