Endless seas.
Although the entire star field is situated on the endless sea, after hundreds of years of development by martial artists, many settlements have been established on the sea through special means. These settlements are quite large, but they are scattered. Some sects, families, chambers of commerce, or simply commercial areas that sell rare and precious materials are located on them.
In the territory of Dushui Sect, Tianhai City.
The salty sea breeze, mixed with the sweet fruity aroma, rushed into the nasal cavity, bringing an indescribable and strange smell.
Most of the martial artists around were bare-chested, dressed in rough clothes, and wore light blue square scarves tied around their foreheads—the insignia of the Crossing Water Sect disciples.
"What a bold and unrestrained folk culture."
Shen Xiaohong couldn't help but sigh.
It's rare to see three people dressed so neatly and properly.
"The Dragon Ascension Gate's celebration is being held within the territory of the Crossing Water Sect, so quite a few martial artists have recently traveled to Tianhai City."
Shen Xiaohong explained.
"Where is the location of the Mountain-Splitting Blade? Can you pinpoint it?"
Lin Feng asked.
He shook his head and gave a wry smile: "The intelligence I've gathered only says that warriors in the Endless Seas saw the Rift Blade appear, but whether that's true or not is still unknown."
"What about the region? You should know that, right?"
"It's in this area, within the territory of the Dushui Sect, Liuyun Sect, and Haiya Sect."
Lin Feng was immediately speechless.
With such a vague boundary, where is he supposed to find it?
Unfortunately, I had to ask the system.
[Reporting to the host, the Rift-Mountain Blade is currently in the hands of a reclusive clan. They are descendants of the warrior who, hundreds of years ago, used the Rift-Mountain Blade to split the Endless Sea in two. Before his death, that warrior left a will instructing his descendants to remain in the sea and secretly search for a worthy master of the Rift-Mountain Blade. Until they truly find the master, they must never appear in the public eye, even if the sky falls.]
"What about what Shen Xiaohong said about someone seeing it?"
[Investigation suggests the incident may have been caused by negligence on the part of a member of the clan.]
Lin Feng frowned.
Undoubtedly, he is qualified to become the Blade Master, but how long would it take for someone to come to him? Moreover, there are too many uncertainties. Who can guarantee that there isn't another Blade Master in this endless sea who is just as suitable for the Rift-Splitting Blade as him? For example, Shen Xiaohong, or Ye Lingya. What if that reclusive family comes to them first? Wouldn't that be troublesome?
"System, can you give me an accurate location?"
The system provides a general location.
Lin Feng doesn't plan to go there for the time being. If he alerts them, it will only cause trouble. Moreover, according to the information provided by the system, there are quite a few powerful people in that family. They won't let Lin Feng run wild in the family.
"Your Highness...Young Master."
Mo Ye suddenly frowned and whispered, "There's someone watching us from the northwest."
"Brother Lin."
Shen Xiaohong suddenly spoke up, his brows furrowing imperceptibly.
"Disappeared."
Lin Feng snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
They were so focused on talking to the system that they didn't notice anyone watching them. But the three of them were new to the place and didn't know anyone. Why would someone be targeting them?
"This is probably the general environment of the Endless Sea. I guess they came here to cause trouble because they don't think we're locals."
Shen Xiaohong's expression was cold.
"Hmph, fine, let the other rats hiding in the shadows keep a close eye on things. They can't bully just anyone!"
Mo Ye shook his head and secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Feng.
"Young master, in my opinion, that person has no hostility; he is just observing us."
"Ignore him. If he dares to peek again, I'll go find him directly."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, no longer dwelling on it.
Dushui Teahouse, third-floor private room.
A woman dressed in white, with a gentle demeanor, sat gracefully, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, and smiling.
The maidservant carried sweet pastries in her hands, glancing up at her every now and then with envy in her eyes.
That's wonderful. She's beautiful and a martial artist. I wish she could become a martial artist too.
Unlike other martial artists who bully and humiliate ordinary people, Miss Shen has never been arrogant or domineering towards servants like them during her stay at the teahouse. As a result, she is very popular among the ordinary people.
"Your tea and snacks."
"oh."
Miss Shen smiled slightly, like a gentle immortal descended from the heavens. She pointed to the wooden table in front of her and said softly, "It's fine to put it here. Thank you for your trouble."
"It's not hard work at all."
The maid was flattered and, after placing the items on the table, fled in panic.
After she left, Shen Subai clutched his chest, looking lingering fear.
"How terrifying! They almost noticed us."
If I'm not mistaken, those people are probably warriors from other star realms, just like her. They probably came here after hearing the news of the appearance of the Rift Blade.
She was unfamiliar with the place and the people there. Her original plan was to go up and make connections, but the three people in that group were too intimidating, and Shen Subai still couldn't muster the courage to go up and strike up a conversation.
"But why does that person in the white shirt look so familiar?"
Shen Suobai scratched his head and muttered, "Could it be that Father is right, I've reached that age too, so I'm starting to be interested in men my own age?"
That's not good, that person looks like a smiling tiger who's hard to get along with.
"Big Black, what should I do?"
After Shen Subai spoke, an adorable plush animal appeared on the table and began to eat the snacks without any hesitation.
The little beast was entirely black except for its terrifying pure white eyes, making it look rather frightening.
The moment the little beast appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy accelerated dramatically. After entering the little beast's body, not a trace of it remained. In the end, it all entered Shen Subai's dantian in a strange trajectory.
If Lin Feng and his companions were here, they would surely be astonished by the species of this spirit beast.
The Shishin clan.
Like the Devouring Gods, they are a race that is considered extinct by outsiders.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the Devouring God Clan and the Liberation God Clan were mortal enemies. However, when they encountered a change in the world, the two clans put aside their past grievances and chose to cooperate. Although they both eventually perished and disappeared, it is still a history that is praised by people.
If the Devouring Gods rely on devouring to grow stronger, the Releasing Gods fight by releasing their power. They can return all attacks they receive without any reduction in power, and can even feed back the absorbed power to their host, which is quite amazing.
However, the gods are incapable of cultivation. Their cultivation level at birth is fixed, and their innate leaky vessel constitution means they are destined to be unable to cultivate.
Shen Subai's divine beast, Dahei, has a cultivation level of level five in the Divine Soul Realm. Although it cannot cultivate, this level of cultivation is enough to help her deal with most enemies.
Big Black wagged its tail and ate its snacks, not responding to Shen Suobai's question. It seemed to sense something, because it suddenly raised its head and looked warily out the window.
