"How big is the Senhai Origin Realm?"
"No one knows its borders."
"What about the Shadowed Lands?"
"You'll know when you get there."
"Are the Hidden Snakes intelligent?"
"Only the Snake King is intelligent in a group of snakes."
"You said that the Sacred Race hunted the Hidden Snakes for food?"
"The Hidden Snakes are extremely poisonous. You'll die if you eat them." Qing Jiuye gave Jiang Wang a strange look before continuing, "We hunted the Hidden Snakes to skin them and make them into Hidden Cloaks. The Hidden Snakes' ability to conceal themselves completely depends on their Hidden Cloaks. Wearing these cloaks allows one to hide their tracks just like the Hidden Snakes. They can greatly increase one's survivability and reduce casualties. "
Jiang Wang was quite tempted. He had seen the Hidden Snakes' ability to conceal themselves before. They were truly silent and didn't give off any energy fluctuations, so it was very difficult to discover them. "Then why weren't you wearing Hidden Cloaks when I saw you?"
"... We didn't."
Jiang Wang instantly understood. It seemed that the Sacred Race was just bluffing when they said that they hunted the Hidden Snakes frequently.
Even if the Sacred Race had Hidden Cloaks, they didn't have many in stock. At the very least, Qing Jiuye and Qing Jiuye hadn't received any.
"Have you seen other Emissaries of the Dragon God before?"
"... The last Emissary of the Dragon God arrived was a thousand years ago."
"Then your grandfather must have seen one?" Jiang Wang explained. "I'm afraid that you'll mistake him for someone else."
"My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather might have seen one, but it's too far away for me to remember. I need to go back and flip through some books."
Jiang Wang finally understood that the Sacred Race had a limited lifespan.
"Then has anyone seen one before? How will you determine if I'm an Emissary of the Dragon God? "
Qing Jiuye was very cautious when faced with such a question. "We have our ways."
The three of them walked through the shadows cast by the giant trees. Qing Jiuye was probably too bored and was itching to give it a try. "If you have any questions, why don't you ask me? I actually know more than Qing Jiuye!"
"Has the wound on your chest healed?"
Qing Jiuye: "..."
He lowered his head and looked at the hole in his chest. "It'll take a while."
"Are you immortal?"
"... No."
"Then how do you die?"
Qing Qishu stopped talking.
Jiang Wang looked at Qing Jiuye on the right, paying special attention to the green leaf hanging on his eyebrows. "Did you stick this leaf on?"
"… No."
Jiang Wang was even more surprised. "She was brought out of her mother's womb?"
"… Bestowed by the Divine Shade Ritual."
"Ah …" Qing Qishu couldn't take it anymore. He sped up and took a few steps forward. "Let me see what's up ahead."
Jiang Wang tilted his head. "Why does he always add 'ah' when he speaks? Is it cute? "
Although Qing Nine-leaf was speechless, he was a man of rules, after all. Now that he was the one who invited Yu Nine-leaf here, he had to answer Yu Nine-leaf's question. "… Only those who are blessed by the Dragon God can use this mantra."
"Then why don't you have this catchphrase? You're not worthy? "
Qing Nine-leaf said nothing.
He really didn't get the Dragon God's favor. He really didn't deserve it.
Jiang Wang pursed his lips in pity.
He had hoped to get more information, but this was all he could do now.
The reason why Yu Nine-leaf's words were so hurtful and left them speechless was actually to prevent too much information about himself from being exposed. In order to prevent himself from being questioned, he took the initiative.
He didn't know if he was the Dragon God's Emissary or not. He didn't even know who the Dragon God was.
However, if the Seven Star Pavilion's starlight had indeed sent him to the Forest Ocean Origin Realm for some sort of "summoning", then he might indeed be related to the Dragon God's Emissary.
In other words, the Seven Star Pavilion's secret realm had already been related to the Forest Ocean Origin Realm since a thousand years ago?
However, the Great Swamp Tian Clan had only explored the Seven Star Pavilion's secret realm for a few hundred years at most.
The more mysterious this place was, the more satisfied Jiang Wang was. Because the more mysterious it was, the more likely he would be able to obtain the longevity treasure he needed.
Qing Qishu and Qing Nine-leaf led the way. Perhaps because the sky was getting dark, they walked faster and faster.
Jiang Wang followed them while trying hard to remember the route.
In this boundless Forest Ocean, it was already very difficult to distinguish north from south. These giant trees followed one after another without any signs to speak of.
Jiang Wang's choice was to sweep his gaze over the most unique trees in his field of vision and use them as beacons. Then, he would use these "beacons" one after another to form a route.
He was practically memorizing the route with the same attitude he had when exploring the Five Prefectures Sea.
If any conflict occurred, he at least had to know where to run to.
Only an idiot would entrust his own safety to someone else when he was unfamiliar with this place.
Jiang Wang ran at an extremely fast speed. After roughly two hours, they arrived in front of an especially large tree.
Jiang Wang was completely unfamiliar with this tree's species. It was also one of a kind in this boundless Forest Ocean.
The tree's bark was in the shape of a giant round block. It wasn't rough at all. Instead, it was very smooth and gave off an extremely sturdy feeling. The edges of the bark were also very sharp.
If he had to describe it as an example, Jiang Wang felt that it was very similar to an enlarged fish scale.
And from the legends … it was the same for a dragon's scale.
This tree was extremely tall.
When he looked up, he couldn't see the end of it. Based on its circumference, this tree was at least ten times thicker than the other giant trees in the area.
The tree itself was like a city wall.
As Jiang Wang stood in front of this tree, he felt as if he had returned to Linzi City.
"This is Divine Dragonwood," Qing Jiuye said from the side.
The tree patterns on Qing Jiuye's forehead glowed with a green light, which naturally merged with the Divine Dragonwood. He took a step forward, and the tree's trunk rippled like water as Qing Jiuye walked straight into the Divine Dragonwood.
Jiang Wang could clearly sense that this Divine Dragonwood wasn't some kind of camouflage. It truly existed. Its ancient aura couldn't fool anyone, and it was also extremely difficult to conceal.
"Let's go in. This is the Divine Shadow Land."
Qing Jiuye took a step forward as he spoke.
It was as if he wasn't worried that Jiang Wang wouldn't follow him in.
Meanwhile, in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, the faint light that seeped through the leaves of the forest was almost completely gone. Night was about to fall.
Based on the information they had received so far, the only humans in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm that they could communicate with were in the Divine Shadow Land. Making an enemy out of them was obviously not a wise decision.
If they made an enemy out of the "Sacred Race", it would be very difficult for them to leave the Seven Star Pavilion's secret realm, let alone reap any benefits.
On the other hand, since many people could leave the Seven Star Pavilion's secret realm every year, there shouldn't be too many unsolvable situations.
Most importantly, as night approached, Jiang Wang did indeed sense some kind of terrifying information. He didn't know what it was, but he instinctively didn't want to come into contact with it.
Thus, the Divine Shadow Land was his only choice.
Jiang Wang prepared himself for battle and followed closely behind as he stepped into the Divine Dragonwood.
His vision suddenly brightened!
It was as if this was another world.
It was completely different from the gloomy atmosphere of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm outside. The Divine Shadow Land was fresh and bright.
Everything before him was vast and open.
Lush green grass covered the sky, and the sky was clear and bright.
Small Divine Dragonwood trees were spread out across the plains. They all maintained a huge distance from each other, so as not to interfere with each other's light.
And on each Divine Dragon Wood, there was a huge fruit.
There were three fruits, two fruits, five fruits, and so on.
The fruits were square and had doors and windows. There were people moving around inside, and peaceful sounds could be heard.
It was like a naturally-formed house.
Qing Jiuye stood under one of the Divine Dragonwood trees and waved at him.
"It's here!"
Jiang Wang looked up at the sky.
There was also a star hanging in the sky — the ever-changing Lianzhen, also known as the Alioth Star.
