"That's right." The Blackback Tortoise nodded.
It was indeed powerful before Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and the others, but before the sharks, there was nothing it could do.
As fellow aquatic experts, they were well aware of each other's weaknesses. If they did not leave the area, they would have already died.
"Not only are they Semi-Divinity realm experts, they are even stronger than me. I specialize in defense while they specialize in offense. Previously, Bai Xuansheng was surrounded by them, and he would have been killed in less than three breaths! "
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Bai Xuansheng wasn't the strongest expert among the Six Sects, but he wasn't the weakest either. For someone of his level to be unable to last three breaths against them … these three sharks were even more fearsome than he had thought!
"Master, let's not go for the time being. It won't be too late for you to head over after you reach the High Immortal realm!"
The Blackback Tortoise advised.
Even though its master had many means up his sleeves and Little Chick was powerful, it still couldn't help but feel worried. After all, there were three of them. Even if Little Chick could devour one of them, it wouldn't be able to do anything to three of them at once.
"You should hide in the tamed beast sack for the time being. I'll head there discreetly. I'll just head over to take a look.
I won't be leaving without a trace, "Zhang Xuan said.
Since he was already there, how could he possibly leave without getting to the bottom of the matter?
As a Semi-Divinity realm expert with a massive body, it would be easy for him to be discovered. As long as he drove the Heaven's Path Divine Art to conceal his aura, it would be difficult for even a Semi-Divinity realm expert to notice him.
The Blackback Tortoise nodded helplessly and returned to the tamed beast sack. Only then did Zhang Xuan conceal his aura and head in the direction that the Blackback Tortoise had pointed out.
Amidst the dark depths of the ocean, Zhang Xuan was like a fish swimming along with the currents of the ocean.
The seaweed and vegetation in the depths of the ocean were much more vibrant and taller than those in other regions.
If Lozosy really broke through the barrier of the dimension and entered the Azure from here, who could the one who led her here be?
Zhang Xuan pondered as he advanced.
If Lozosy really did come to the Azure from here, who could the one who led her here be?
The fact that she was able to lead a ritual meant that she was a native of the Azure.
However, why did this person want her to come here? Why would she be injured? Why would her blood flow into the sea and cause such a change?
Everything about Lozosy was like a mystery that kept wandering in his mind, making him unable to figure out what had happened.
He couldn't even tell if the girl he liked was a good person or a bad person.
She took out the pendant on her chest from her clothes.
The red liquid inside seemed to have sensed something when it sensed the spiritual energy in the sea and gradually turned warm.
"It must have something to do with her …"
Zhang Xuan's heart jolted. Without any hesitation, he quickly swam forward.
More than ten minutes later, they stopped in front of a gully.
According to the Blackback Tortoise, the nest of the three Flood Sharks was here.
He raised his head and looked into the ravine. The color of the water was even redder, and the spiritual qi was even denser than in other places. The vegetation in the ravine was so dense that it gave off a feeling of covering the sky.
"It should be the place where the God's blood spilled the most …"
Zhang Xuan quickly scanned the surroundings and confirmed his suspicions.
This place seemed to be the source of spiritual energy, making it purer than the surroundings. On top of that, the pendant was also hotter.
If he wanted to investigate whether this had anything to do with Lozosy, this should be the place.
Knowing that there were three Semi-Divinity realm beasts in the ravine, Zhang Xuan did not rush in. Instead, he hid behind a boulder outside the ravine and observed the situation.
The dense vegetation below blocked his vision, but he could vaguely see countless lifeforms shuttling through it. However, he was unable to identify the Flood Sharks and where their nest was.
On the way here, he had communicated with the Blackback Tortoise.
The three Flood Sharks were intending to take it in as their subordinate, but it refused, so it ended up being attacked.
If not for its tough shell and its swift escape, it might have already died.
Even though it had fought with the three Semi-Divinity realm Flood Sharks, it was unable to provide any useful information about the situation in the nest of the three Semi-Divinity realm Flood Sharks.
"Forget it …"
Since he was unable to figure out what was going on, there was no point in continuing to wait here. Thus, Zhang Xuan leaped forward and dived into the ravine.
The ravine at the bottom of the ocean was as deep as the valley outside. There was no light at all, and it was pitch-black.
Zhang Xuan's current cultivation had already reached High Immortal realm, and with the help of his Eye of Insight, he was able to see through the darkness for the time being. He stuck close to the wall and slowly swam down.
The entire ravine was exceptionally quiet.
The saint beasts and immortal beasts that he had seen earlier seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Knowing that even Semi-Divinity realm Flood Sharks would not be able to see through his concealment ability, Zhang Xuan did not mind at all. Thus, he continued to assess his surroundings.
It was hard to tell whether it was due to the influence of the god blood or some other reason, but the plants here were not only thick, they were also extremely resilient. Even with Zhang Xuan's strength, it was still difficult for him to tear them apart with just a casual tug.
In fact, it was already comparable to a True Immortal artifact!
It's probably the God's blood. Not only did it cause the High Immortal realm immortal beasts to evolve into Semi-Divinities, it also affected the vegetation here, making it tougher and more resilient …
Zhang Xuan deduced with a grim look on his face.
The deeper he ventured into the ravine, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. As Zhang Xuan ventured deeper, he could feel all of the cells in his body throbbing furiously, as if they were trying to devour the energy in the ravine.
Knowing that he would be discovered if he were to absorb the energy, Zhang Xuan held his breath and continued down.
After swimming for roughly two thousand meters, he finally saw the surface.
Following which, a massive cliff appeared before him, and right before him was a massive cavern.
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned his surroundings with a grim look on his face.
The three sharks that Little Tortoise spoke of should be in here, Zhang Xuan thought.
There was an oppressive aura within the cavern, similar to what he had felt when he was with the Blackback Tortoise and Pavilion Master Kui Xiao. The three Semi-Divinity realm Semi-Divinity realm immortal beasts should be in there as well.
Zhang Xuan touched the pendant in front of his chest once more, and he realized that the temperature was getting higher and higher.
Could it be that … there's still some God's blood that has yet to be refined?
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Along the way, he had noticed a pattern. The denser the God's blood was in the ocean, the more obvious the temperature of the pendant would be. The fact that the temperature in the cavern was even higher than before meant that there was a high chance that there was some God's blood that had yet to be refined.
If he could find it and appraise it using the Library of Heaven's Path, there was a good chance that it had something to do with Lozosy.
"Let's head in!"
Zhang Xuan hesitated for less than a minute before he made his way into the cavern.
The cavern had a diameter of several hundred meters, and it was impossible to see anything within it. After venturing in for a moment, Zhang Xuan saw quite a few saint beasts and immortal beasts swimming around in a formation. They were currently floating in the air in front of him.
Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan noticed that even the weakest of them had reached Heavenly True Immortal realm, and there were at least several hundred High Immortals.
"Several hundred High Immortals …"
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
This was a formation that was far stronger than any of the Six Sects!
"With our king's strength, we'll be able to rule over the ocean and make sure that no humans are allowed to enter!"
"Indeed. The three kings have all reached Semi-Divinity realm, making it so that even the Six Sects can't compare to them. With a single command, we'll kill every single human who dares to trespass into the ocean. We'll show them who's in charge here!"
…
The few immortal beasts shouted loudly.
Following the direction of their voices, Zhang Xuan discreetly turned his gaze over and saw three massive thrones standing at the very depths of the cavern.
The three sharks were seated on the thrones, and they emanated an oppressive aura.
Semi-Divinity realm experts!
Every single one of them was far more powerful than the Blackback Tortoise!
If even a single one of them was already so powerful, the thought of the three of them working together made Zhang Xuan shudder in fear.
"You are right. The reason why we gathered you here is to tell all of you that the ocean belongs to us. Humans aren't allowed to enter, or else they'll die!"
One of the sharks sitting on the thrones harrumphed coldly, and its voice reverberated throughout the entire cavern.
"Indeed! The ocean belongs to us! "
"Chase the Six Sects out of here!"
"Especially Starchaser Palace!"
…
Upon hearing the words of their 'kings', the immortal beasts and saint beasts roared excitedly.
In an instant, the beasts began dancing wildly.
"Are they intending to establish a faction or a regime that belongs to the ocean?"
After listening for a moment, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
While there were many powerful lifeforms in the ocean, none of them had reached Semi-Divinity realm yet. As such, they were still unable to stand up to the Six Sects.
However, with three Semi-Divinity realm immortal beasts appearing all of a sudden, they could no longer suppress their ambitions.
They were intending to establish a regime that belonged to the ocean and stand against the Six Sects.
It was no wonder they had seen so many immortal beasts swimming around earlier. Most likely, they had heard the summons and rushed over.
"Our first target is Starchaser Palace. Their Starchaser Island is located in the middle of the ocean. I have discussed with the other two kings, and we've decided to head over there to deal with them. We'll show them the prowess of the ocean first. As long as we succeed, the Six Sects won't dare to make a move on us anymore! "
The shark that had spoken earlier said.
The ocean was rich in resources, and the crystal cores of many saint beasts and immortal beasts were of great help to one's cultivation. As such, even though the ocean was dangerous, the Six Sects would still occasionally dispatch their men to hunt down the ocean and collect all kinds of treasures.
This was especially so for Starchaser Palace. They lived on an isolated island and relied on the ocean for their livelihood.
The lifeforms that lived on the island had always hunted down the ocean and sold the ores in order to survive.
If they wanted to unify the ocean and make the Six Sects value them, they would have to make an example out of them!
"It would be best for us to show off our prowess to Starchaser Palace, but my king, have you forgotten what happened two months ago? Based on my investigation, the lady who summoned the god was none other than the head of Starchaser Palace, Du Qingyuan!"
Suddenly, a catfish with several ears among the immortal beasts spoke.
