On the way to the city, Xiao Lingyu was silently recovering his powers. Previously, he had used up almost all of his powers when he used the tubular sacred weapon to teleport.
At the same time, he also paid attention to the situation on the ground from time to time. What surprised him was that he passed by countless small villages. The villagers in these villages were exactly the same as the villagers in Wangyang Village. They were like fish that had four limbs and walked upright.
He did not need to guess to know that he had left the narrow God Realm and entered the territory of a foreign race.
Although Xiao Lingyu was rather powerful, he still had to be careful in this foreign race's territory. After all, he was obviously different from the cultivators here. If he was not careful, he could be surrounded and attacked by the strong cultivators of this race.
After flying for three days, Xiao Lingyu saw a city that was not as big as Kun City.
Rather than calling it a city, it would be more accurate to call it a slightly larger town with walls. Furthermore, there weren't many pedestrians on the streets of the city.
The buildings in this city were very simple. At most, there were only three floors. They were all made up of piles of round logs.
From this, it could be seen that this fish-like race was a simple-minded species.
Xiao Lingyu took out a loose black robe from his storage ring and put it on. Then, he took out a cloak that could conceal his aura and block his vision.
The cloak was also black. Moreover, there was a circle of black gauze hanging down. Not only did it conceal Xiao Lingyu's aura, but it also made him appear mysterious.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that there was no fee to enter this city. There were no city guards at the city gates.
After wandering around the city, Xiao Lingyu did not even see a Divine Lord cultivator. However, there were many new things on the stalls on both sides of the street that interested him.
Fortunately, this place also used Divine Level stone to buy things. Xiao Lingyu had a lot of Divine Level stone, so he bought a lot of things that he found interesting before leaving the city.
In a shell-like piece of jade, Xiao Lingyu found some information about this fish-like race. This race was called the Dorsal Fin Race. They originally lived in the sea. However, there were too many strong races in the sea and they were forced to come ashore.
The Dorsal Fin Race was not strong to begin with. Moreover, they were forced to develop on land that they were not familiar with and were not used to. This caused their race to become weaker and weaker.
The Dorsal Fin Race originally had a very glorious history. This was because their race used to be very large in numbers. They could be found throughout the entire sea. Unfortunately, they were unable to escape the fate of decline. The previous king was muddle-headed and incompetent. Due to their relatively weak individual strength, they gradually declined and left the sea. The vast sea that they originally ruled was divided by many other races in the sea.
The information in the piece of jade also included the races around the Dorsal Fin Race's current territory. What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that among the dozens of races mentioned, there was no mention of the Human Race or the Demon Race. Even the races near the narrow God Realm where the Human Race and the Demon Race resided were not mentioned.
"It seems like I've moved very far away this time."
Xiao Lingyu rubbed his chin and thought, "It's good that it's further away. Otherwise, that Old Monster Dugu will be able to find me easily. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go back. The Hua Men have Guan Yiwei and so many powerful monsters guarding them. I don't think anything will happen."
Even if he was in a hurry to go back, it would not be easy.
First of all, he had to completely refine the tubular sacred artifact before he could determine the direction and perform greater teleportation. Secondly, he had to determine the exact location of the narrow God Realm where the Human Race and the Demon Race resided.
Currently, Xiao Lingyu could use the tubular sacred artifact to perform greater teleportation. However, the target location of this greater teleportation was also uncertain. Xiao Lingyu did not know how many times he would need to teleport to the narrow God Realm or somewhere near it. If he accidentally teleported to a dangerous place, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Xiao Lingyu never liked things that he could not control. Therefore, he felt that in a situation where there was no need to rush, it was better for him to act more cautiously.
After fiddling with the things that he had purchased, the novelty of this place gradually disappeared. The things sold in this low-level city were not high quality goods.
First, he quietly recuperated for a while. After he had completely adjusted his condition, Xiao Lingyu followed the instructions in the piece of jade. With his back facing the sea, he headed towards the hinterland of the Dorsal Fin Race.
The Dorsal Fin Race could only be considered a small race. However, their territory was not small. Even though it was not as vast as the narrow God Realm, it was still comparable to a large region.
Two months later, Xiao Lingyu arrived at another intermediate level city of the Dorsal Fin Race.
Compared to the small city, the intermediate level city of the Dorsal Fin Race was much larger. However, it was only comparable to Kun City. Moreover, the city was not bustling. The buildings on both sides of the streets were not grand or luxurious.
Entering this intermediate level city was free of charge. Moreover, he would occasionally encounter God Monarch Dorsal Fin Race cultivators on the streets.
Even though the Dorsal Fin Race cultivators and the Human Race cultivators looked different, Xiao Lingyu could tell that the Dorsal Fin Race cultivators in both the small city and the intermediate level city had gloomy expressions on their faces. Moreover, they all seemed to be in a hurry.
Xiao Lingyu had already noticed a strange phenomenon at the city gate. That was, there were very few Dorsal Fin Race cultivators entering the city. However, there were many groups of them exiting the city.
Just as Xiao Lingyu arrived at the center of the city, he was stopped by a group of Dorsal Fin Race cultivators who were holding onto metal pitchforks.
"Your Excellency, please remove your cloak and reveal your true appearance!" A Dorsal Fin Race cultivator who seemed to be the leader said loudly.
Xiao Lingyu did not want to attract trouble nor did he want to expose himself. Therefore, he retreated far away in a flash before turning around to leave.
Naturally, the group of Dorsal Fin Race cultivators could not catch up to him. After purchasing many shell-shaped jade pieces, he left the intermediate level city.
These jade pieces were clearly of a higher grade. Not only did they introduce the Dorsal Fin Race, they also had a map of the entire territory of the Dorsal Fin Race. There were even jade pieces that recorded cultivation techniques suitable for the Dorsal Fin Race. This allowed Xiao Lingyu to have a deeper understanding of this race.
After another year, Xiao Lingyu traversed thousands of mountains and rivers and found a large advanced level city of the Dorsal Fin Race that was comparable in scale to Duhu City.
However, this advanced level city of the Dorsal Fin Race was the closest to Scarlet Crab Bay. Only Dorsal Fin Race cultivators came out of the city, but no one entered.
The Dorsal Fin Race cultivators who came out of the city rode on various special flying Dharma treasures and headed towards the depths of the continent.
Xiao Lingyu felt that it was very strange. He did not enter the city. Instead, he circled around the city walls from afar. What surprised him was that the four city gates of this large city were all the same.
"They seem to have abandoned the city and fled. However, are there any large groups of enemies nearby …"
Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes as he observed from afar. He was extremely puzzled.
After waiting for less than half a month, this advanced level city of the Dorsal Fin Race had become an empty city.
Only then did Xiao Lingyu enter the city. However, the city was deathly silent and in a complete mess.
Instead of going deeper into the hinterland of the Dorsal Fin Race, Xiao Lingyu casually found an underground secret room in this abandoned large city and began to refine his three Sacred Artifacts.
He did not have anything urgent to do in this foreign land. For his own safety, he felt that it was better to completely refine the tubular Sacred Artifact and the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron.
However, less than a hundred years had passed when Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt a vast and mighty aura pressing down on him. Alarmed, he exited the secret room and flew to the sky above the large city.
After looking around, Xiao Lingyu was shocked to discover that there was a vast expanse of dark clouds rolling over from the distant horizon.
The dark clouds were surging at an extremely fast speed. It gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression even from afar.
Xiao Lingyu's Divine Sense was not weak. He could already see that there was a huge foreign race army in the rolling dark clouds. Furthermore, this group of foreign races was clearly not from the Dorsal Fin Race.
The aura that made Xiao Lingyu's heart palpitate earlier was released by this foreign race army as they advanced. Perhaps their individual strength was not strong, but when their aura was gathered together, it was completely different.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu finally understood why the Dorsal Fin Race cultivators had abandoned the city and fled. It was because they knew that this large city would be attacked by foreign races.
Xiao Lingyu was not a warrior of the Dorsal Fin Race. He would not help the Dorsal Fin Race resist the invasion of a strong enemy. Therefore, he turned around and flew away without a second thought.
Although the foreign race army moved quickly, they could not compare to Xiao Lingyu. They were quickly shaken off by Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu could guess that this foreign race army would definitely continue to enter the Dorsal Fin Race's hinterland. The Dorsal Fin Race was definitely gathering their people and preparing to gather their forces to resist the enemy. Based on this, he could infer that there would definitely be a bloody battle in the depths of the Dorsal Fin Race's hinterland.
Although Xiao Lingyu was a very curious cultivator, Saint Gods would often participate in a war between races. Therefore, he did not want to continue to enter the Dorsal Fin Race's hinterland to avoid getting himself involved in the conflict.
Therefore, he decided to change direction and flew to the left of the foreign race army behind him.
After flying to the left for close to two years, Xiao Lingyu finally stopped. Along the way, he only encountered a few Dorsal Fin Race cultivators sporadically. The cities that he passed by were all empty.
However, when Xiao Lingyu stopped in one place for less than ten years, another foreign race army surged over like a torrential flood. They were also heading towards the Dorsal Fin Race's hinterland.
However, this foreign race army was not the same as the one he encountered before.
He also chose to avoid them and continued to fly to the left. However, after a few years, he encountered another foreign race army. It was also a different race from the first two.
Xiao Lingyu was even more puzzled. The Dorsal Fin Race was already so weak, but they were attacked by several foreign races at the same time.
