Chapter 1912 Life and Death Becomes a Mystery

The ancestor of the Xu family received a small bottle of blood. At this moment, he had a smile on his face and handed me the small porcelain bottle and the route map in his hand.

I hesitated for a while, but finally waved my sleeves, and the majestic netherworld energy directly rolled the small porcelain bottle and the route map over.

I did not look at the small porcelain bottle, but directly opened the route map.

The parchment was extremely damaged, and the route on it had become blurred, but people could still see a rough outline.

I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and then I found that this route map was basically consistent with the one that Mr. Huang gave me, but when heading to the destination, the route was slightly deviated, but the deviation was not large.

"It seems that the location of the end of the sea is here!"

The sea chart that Mr. Huang gave me was derived by several generations of Wu Shushan reserve forces, and the sea chart that the ancestor of the Xu family gave me was left by the ancestor of the Xu family.

If the two sea charts are inconsistent, then I may have some doubts, but in the end, I will definitely choose to believe the one that Mr. Huang gave me. At least, I have to explore the destination on that sea chart first.

Now, the two sea charts are basically the same, and my doubts are directly dispelled.

However...

I looked at the small bottle in my hand again, looking at the dark red blood inside, and couldn't help frowning.

"When Xu Fu, the ancestor of the Xu family, returned there for the second time, he established a certain contract with the immortals there. It was this contract that allowed the descendants of the Xu family to open the entrance to the end of the sea with their own blood..."

I murmured to myself in my heart, wondering why Xu Fu had to go to the island for the second time?

Moreover, from what this ancestor of the Xu family said, Xu Fu seemed to have gone there not only twice, but also several times afterwards.

"Why did he go there several times later?"

The first time he went there, he should have obtained the elixir of immortality, and brought back the method of making living corpses and turning many famous generals into flying zombies, and even made Bai Qi become an incorruptible bone.

It can be said that this time, he brought back what everyone wanted.

So, what was the purpose of the second, third, and subsequent visits?

Did the First Emperor and his tutor know about Xu Fu's subsequent voyages?

If so, why are there no records of these voyages in history?

"Since there is no record, can I infer that the First Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor were completely unaware of Xu Hai's subsequent voyages. Then... can I conclude that Xu Fu's subsequent voyages were made secretly without telling the First Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor, and that he did so for himself and his family? What exactly is this Xu Fu... plotting? Is he still alive now?"

Thinking of this, I frowned, then looked at the ancestor of the Xu family and asked, "Is Xu Fu, the ancestor of the Xu family, still alive in the world?" Hearing

this, he pondered for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"Don't know?" I raised my eyebrows: "Your Xu family's ancestor, you Xu family members don't even know?"

"Hehe, I only know that the ancestor of my Xu family never came back after his last voyage to the sea. Whether he is alive or dead is also a mystery to my Xu family. However... nearly two thousand years have passed, and I think, even if the ancestor of my Xu family did not die at sea, he should have passed away after such a long time."

"Is he really dead?" I sneered in my heart, thinking that you old guys are all alive today, but a person who reached the edge of the sea and had a face-to-face conversation with the three upper families is dead?

Even if you tell me the truth, I won't believe it!

"Xu Fu is definitely still alive, but he may not be able to continue his life in a human way. Perhaps, like the First Emperor, he is in a state of Yin Changsheng. I even suspect that Xu Fu is very likely still alive on that island and has never come out!"

I speculated in my heart, and then asked: "Since you Xu family knew the location of the entrance to the End of the Sea and had a way to open the entrance, why didn't you Xu family go there in person? Instead, you had to fall into a deep sleep and let me, an outsider, go there when you had no other choice?"

This is my biggest doubt. Since you know the exact location of the End of the Sea and even have a way to enter the island, why didn't the Xu family go there in person?

Instead, they told me, an outsider, the information and let me, an outsider, go there?

In this way, wouldn't there be many more uncontrollable factors?

Hearing this, the ancestor of the Xu family sighed, "It's too dangerous. Not only do we have to sail on the sea for a long time, we have to face various emergencies. Even if we successfully enter the island, we still have to face various dangers on the island. That is also the island where immortals live. The animals and plants on it are not easy to mess with. There are also many strange creatures. At the beginning, my ancestor of the Xu family led three thousand boys, but in the end, there were only a hundred people who followed the ancestor of the Xu family to successfully enter the island."

He paused here, then shook his head with a wry smile: "At that time, we, the Xu family, had mastered the characters given by the immortals and possessed abilities beyond ordinary people. We had no idea about ordinary people. Humans have a very long life. Who would be willing to take risks if they have such a long life? Unfortunately, even the longest life will eventually run out. Now, our lives are about to run out, and our bodies are withered. Even if we want to go, we don't have the conditions. Alas!"

Finally, he sighed, then raised his head and looked at me: "But you are different. I can see that you are capable and ambitious. Especially now that the spiritual energy is gradually recovering, the demons are about to invade the human race, and you, as the leader of the human race, urgently need to improve your combat power to face the strong men of the demon race, so our cooperation is a win-win situation!"

"Is it really so?" I squinted my eyes and looked at him. Hearing that, he smiled: "I have sworn a solemn oath. If I say even a single word that is a lie, my oath will take effect immediately. You are also a cultivator. You should be able to judge whether what I say is true or false."

I nodded: "How long can you hold on?"

"Half a year!" He whispered: "At most half a year, these sleeping old bones of us will return to dust. This is because the spiritual energy has revived and greatly extended our lives. Otherwise, you would probably have no chance to talk to me here!"

I nodded, and then with an idea, I put away the route map and the small porcelain bottle.

Then, I clasped my fists to the old man of the Xu family and said, "In that case, I won't delay any longer. Goodbye!"

I turned around and was about to leave, but the old man of the Xu family suddenly called me.

I stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Senior, do you have anything else to say?"

"Haha, Yin Tianxiang, you won't... go back on your word, will you?" He stared at me with a gleaming gaze, his eyes full of gloom. "

I also swore an oath. Senior is also a cultivator, and you should have your own judgment on my promise!" I returned his words to him, and after that, I said no more. I left the secret room in a flash.

After returning to the ground, I stomped my feet lightly and closed the entrance to the secret room again. Then I took out the bottle of blood and frowned as I looked at the blood in the bottle.

"Can this bottle of blood really open the entrance to the end of the sea?"
