Where is this?
Looking out the window, Jiang Yuan was filled with doubts as he saw the endless blue sky below, even though they were thousands of meters in the air.
“Thank you for your great help at the Holy Spirit Pavilion before, so we feel it is necessary to explain this operation to you!” Tianlong stepped forward.
"So, if I didn't help, you weren't planning to tell me?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. Since the other party was being so honest, he naturally had to be frank with them.
Tianlong nodded and said in a deep voice, "The matter of the ancient ruins is of great importance. Taking you there was already an exclusive permission from the Alliance Elder, so sharing information was not originally in our plan."
"Looks like my help wasn't a complete loss!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Our target this time is an ancient human ruin. I'm sure you've already seen our current environment!" Tianlong said.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, we're at sea right now!"
“Yes, this ancient site is at sea. We only had a vague location before, but now with the ability of the sniffing dogs, we have pinpointed the exact location of the ancient site!” Tianlong’s eyes showed approval.
"Are there any ancient ruins at sea?" Jiang Yuan asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Tianlong seemed to have anticipated Jiang Yuan's question, and calmly replied, "That ancient site was left by Xu Fu, a Qi cultivator from the pre-Qin period!"
"Xu Fu?" A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Yuan's face.
Who was Xu Fu? He was the man who sailed the seas to find the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang!
"The ancient ruins left by Xu Fu are on Penglai Island in the East China Sea. Even in the Dharma-ending Age, a thin layer of spiritual energy from heaven and earth was preserved there. Because of the nourishment of this spiritual energy, many things in the ruins have not disappeared. Therefore, his ruins are one of the more complete and precious ruins still existing among the human race, and they are of great research value." Tianlong revealed the detailed information about this target without any hesitation.
"Penglai Island in the East China Sea?" Jiang Yuan's gaze deepened as he looked up at Tianlong. "How did you know that?"
Tianlong's eyelids twitched slightly, and he finally said, "Legend!"
"So, a legend led you to find the Qi cultivator from the pre-Qin era—Xu Fu??" Jiang Yuan naturally didn't believe it; such a claim could only fool children.
Whether it's the Northern City Allied Forces or the Guamen sect where Ning Yanlan belongs, they both seem to possess things that ordinary people cannot access.
"Science can only prove existence, not non-existence! Therefore, this cannot determine whether Qi Refiners truly existed in human history." Tianlong explained this to Jiang Yuan, worried that he might have some concerns.
"I don't care whether it exists or not, what I want to know is exactly what this ancient site is like!" Jiang Yuan said bluntly.
Tianlong and the others exchanged glances, and finally Tianlong slowly said, "It's very dangerous!"
"The danger extends not only to the site itself, but also to what's outside!"
Tianlong walked to the window, pointed down, and asked, "What do you think is the most dangerous place on Earth?"
"The most dangerous?" Jiang Yuan frowned, suddenly thinking of something.
The plants and animals on Earth were awakened by the external force of the Golden Gate, transforming into terrifying monsters that ravaged the land. What about the mysterious ocean, which is more than twice the size of the land? There are countless creatures in the ocean, and both the variety and number of creatures are many times greater than those on land. Moreover, the largest creatures on Earth also live in the ocean, which is not on the same level as the land.
"That's right, we also have to face monsters from the ocean!"
When Tianlong finished speaking, the other members of the Zodiac all looked solemn, and it was clear that they all had a fear of the ocean.
"Don't think the monsters on land after the cataclysm are scary; that's because you haven't seen the unknown creatures in the ocean!" Tianlong continued. "On the third day of the cataclysm, Sea City faced the crisis of annihilation, and this crisis was caused by a group of creatures that had long been extinct!"
"Extinct creature?"
Seeing Jiang Yuan's confusion, Tianlong continued, "That's right, those are Dunkleosteus, which have long since disappeared from Earth's food chain! On the third day of the cataclysm, a group of ninth-tier Dunkleosteus swarmed onto the beach of Haicheng. If the authorities hadn't decisively abandoned the defense line, even with the restrictions of battlefield rules, those terrifying creatures could have easily wiped out a safe zone!"
"A ninth-tier monster on the third day? Moreover, this monster was created from a native Earth creature!" Jiang Yuan was greatly shocked. He was still unconscious on the third day, and he hadn't even reached the first tier yet. How terrifying was that?
"No one knows what lies buried in the deep sea. Those species that are considered extinct by humans may never have disappeared. They are just hiding in places no one knows. Their appearance now is just their awakening!" Tianlong said meaningfully.
"Is it just an awakening?" Jiang Yuan squinted. All signs indicated that Earth might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface. The arrival of the Golden Gate, the appearance of alien races, and the fall of those ethereal gods seemed to be just the pointer of reincarnation pointing back to Earth.
"Humanity is weak!" Tianlong's tone was somewhat low, but after he finished speaking, his eyes gleamed. "Therefore, humanity should not kill each other. This battlefield is no longer just about the life and death of one person, but also about the rise and fall of the race!"
"Absolutely!"
Yu Tu pouted and said indignantly, "If it weren't for the greater good, how could that scoundrel Sima Sheng be the overlord of the South City!"
Tianlong gave Yutu a wink, and Yutu had no choice but to shut his mouth in grievance.
"You don't need to worry about this trip to the ruins. As long as we are careful, we won't encounter those sea creatures! Moreover, there are also strong people coming from Haicheng. If we join forces, we have a great chance of taking down the ruins!" Tianlong was afraid that Jiang Yuan would back down, so he gave him a strong boost of confidence.
