Killing God - Chapter 368

Chapter 368 There Were Traces of the Past
“Qingzhu?”

Shen Shi’s body trembled, and his stunned expression couldn’t be concealed for a moment. He looked at Sun You, but Sun You smiled faintly. He didn’t explain anything further, but his gaze drifted out and looked at the other end of the ship.

Shen Shi followed his gaze and saw a few women standing not far from him, including Zhong Qingzhu. After a few days, Zhong Qingzhu’s expression had returned to normal. Her face was as beautiful as before. However, when she looked closely, she could still vaguely see a trace of haggard appearance. However, it did not hinder her beauty. At this moment, she looked as dull and quiet as usual. She leaned against the side of the ship and listened to others. She rarely spoke.

Perhaps he had sensed something, but after a moment, Zhong Qingzhu turned around slightly and looked in the direction of Shen Shi and Sun You. After exchanging glances from afar for a moment, Shen Shi nodded slightly. Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze paused on his face for a moment before revealing a gentle smile and nodding at him.

Shen Shi withdrew his gaze. However, something strange suddenly occurred in his heart. Zhong Qingzhu was one of the earliest and longest known people in the sect. It must be said that on the first day he joined the Soaring Firmament Sect, they had had an unexpected tribulation on the Immortal Worshipping Rock. After that, his relationship with Zhong Qingzhu had always been very good. Usually, they would talk and laugh. It could be said that he was a friend who got along very well and had the best friendship with Zhong Qingzhu.

However, for some reason, he suddenly felt that he couldn’t see through this woman, and some fragments that he had noticed in the depths of his memories had quietly appeared and slid past his heart.

Dong.

Suddenly, a deep sound came from beneath their feet. The enormous Sea Crossing Immortal Ark shook for a moment and began to slowly leave the dock. However, it sailed towards the depths of the sea.

The large ship rode the wind and waves, sailing on the vast and boundless ocean, rippling blue waves, vast and boundless, seabirds soaring, clear sounds.

On the deck, many Ling Xiao Sect disciples had excited expressions on their faces. They watched as the Sea Crossing Immortal Ark gradually accelerated and sailed past small islands one after another. In front of the waves, who would know what awaited them?

Shen Shi strolled on the deck. Of course, he was looking forward to the Hundred Mountain Realm’s trials. However, because he was Old Man Pu’s disciple, he had already obtained the qualifications to enter Wentian Secret Realm. Moreover, he often went down the mountain to train. He was used to seeing the sea scenery on the ship, so he was no longer as excited as some ordinary disciples.

In contrast, he was more concerned about the details of the trial after arriving at the Hundred Mountains Realm. However, after chatting with him for a while, well-informed Friend Sun ran to chat with the others. Looking at the people over there, it seemed that they were also disciples of powerful aristocratic families in Floating Cloud City. Shen Shi looked at Young Friend Sun’s easy-going appearance as he talked and laughed all the way, thinking in his heart that perhaps being like him was actually a kind of ability.

After walking alone for a while, Shen Shi suddenly saw a woman leaning against the ship’s side to look at the sea and sky. It was Zhong Qingzhu, but the fellow disciples who had been with her before had gone somewhere. Shen Shi looked around and hesitated for a moment before walking to Zhong Qingzhu’s side and shouting.

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to be startled. His body trembled slightly. He was slightly angry and even frowned, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that it was Shen Shi. After a moment of shock, his expression immediately eased up and he said, “Why is it you?”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Come and take a walk. I happened to see you here.” As he spoke, he looked around and said, “Where were your friends just now? Why haven’t they seen anyone?”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled faintly and said, “They are not my friends either. They are just trying to get close to each other. After the Hundred Mountain Realm Trials begin, there may be some help.”

Originally, Shen Shi wanted to casually say that if the rules allowed, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have a few more supportive friends. However, it seemed like he suddenly thought of something. His expression changed and he whispered, “Could it be that the rules have changed this time?”

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, “I don’t know if it has changed. However, I heard that the sect is determined to draw out a vast area according to the rules of Wentian Secret Realm. After all the disciples enter, they will act separately. None of the senior elders above the Divine Concept will enter. They will come out on their own after a month.” At this point, she paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, “But I think the people on this ship are still from the same sect. They shouldn’t go too far in the Hundred Mountains Realm, right?”

Shen Shi looked at her and suddenly smiled. “If we were to come to Wentian Secret Realm in the future, would the others, including our fellow disciples, act recklessly?” He said.

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and leaned against the side of the ship. The sea breeze blew her hair lightly and her bright and clear eyes shone. She looked at Shen Shi and asked softly,

“What do you say?”

Shen Shi shook his head, but he didn’t say anything else. He took a step forward and stood beside her. He also supported the ship’s side and looked at the vast and beautiful sea outside the deck. He saw the sea breeze and waves, and the water was like broken jade. Zhong Qingzhu silently stared at him. Then, he turned his head and stood beside him. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The two of them did not continue to elaborate, but in fact, the topic just now was a rather taboo topic. It had been quietly circulating among countless disciples of the four main sects, and for many years, it had never stopped.

The Heaven Seeking Secret Realm was a mysterious and unfathomable place. It was rumored that it was built by Yuan Wentian, the former Six Saints’ leader of the human race. However, there were also rumors that the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm was simply an existing alien realm. However, Yuan Wentian had found a treasure or a way to reach the secret realm.

This was the most mysterious and mysterious secret realm in the world. It would only be opened once every ten years. Each time, there would be two entrances, one for Origin Condensation Realm disciples and the other for Divine Concept disciples. No matter how high or low one’s cultivation level was, they would not be able to enter it. After the mystic realm was opened, it lasted for a month. When it expired, all disciples would be pushed out of the mystic realm by nameless forces. Whether they could obtain the lucky treasure and change their fate would depend on this crucial month.

However, for a long time, after entering the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, it was equivalent to completely cutting off contact with the outside world. In addition, the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm would change into a completely different new world every time. In addition, the area was very vast, so many people were actually exploring the secret realm by themselves after entering the secret realm.

But as long as there’s someone, there is always a high or low chance of meeting, If any precious treasures were discovered at that time, It was even the most coveted ancient inheritance of heaven-defying divine abilities. With such great benefits and the fact that the outside world had no way of knowing what had happened in the secret realm, some dark stories, hidden or revealed, had actually been circulating under the glorious reputation of the secret realm for a very long time.

There were even rumors that those genius disciples who had perished in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm for no reason in the past were very likely to die at the hands of other disciples who had also entered the Secret Realm.

There were rumors like this all the time, but the four great sects had never admitted it for thousands of years. Everyone was a decent sect that had inherited it for tens of thousands of years. They were all descendants of the Six Saints. How could they do such a disgusting and dirty thing?

The secret realm, the secret realm!

It’s been like this for years.

The sea breeze blew by. Perhaps it was because they thought of the uncertain trip to Wentian Secret Realm half a year later. The two of them were silent for a moment. After a while, Shen Shi suddenly said, “Qingzhu, I heard that you’ve been to the Hundred Mountains Realm to explore before?”

Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes, why did you suddenly ask this?”

Shen Shi glanced at her and smiled, “Is it really very dangerous there?”

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment and said, “The area close to Ling Xiao City is actually similar to the Great City outside the Primordial Chaos Master Realm. There aren’t any powerful demonic beasts or outsiders. However, the further you go, the greater the danger. There are countless unimaginably powerful demonic beasts that are truly difficult to deal with.”

Shen Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Then where did you go before?”

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, “I’ve only been five hundred miles away from Ling Xiao City, and I can’t go any deeper.”

Shen Shi slowly nodded. Zhong Qingzhu looked at him and frowned slightly. “What? Could it be that you want to …”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “I heard that the Hundred Mountain Realm produces quite a lot.”

Zhong Qingzhu remained silent for a moment before whispering, “Do you lack spirit crystals?”

“Of course not.” Shen Shi smiled and said, “How can we cultivators think that there are too few spirit crystals? Besides, I’m not like you and Sun You, who are descendants of aristocratic families. I have a family background to support me, so I want to get more if I can earn more.”

Zhong Qingzhu lowered her head and fell silent for a moment, then said faintly, “Just like how you used to go to the demon island when you were at Bluefish Island?”

“Yes,” Shen Shi smiled.

Zhong Qingzhu looked expressionless. After a while, he said, “Alright, if you’re not afraid, let’s go and have a try together in the future, alright?”

Shen Shi was a little surprised. He glanced at her, but then smiled and said, “Alright. After the Hundred Mountain Realm Trial is completed, let’s make an appointment, alright?”

Zhong Qingzhu raised his head with a smile on his face. He nodded and said,

“Alright.”

④

Time passed little by little while chatting, hoping, longing, and yearning. The Sea Crossing Immortal Ark sailed through the waves, circling around the vast sea at the foot of the majestic Golden Rainbow Mountain and traveling through thousands of small islands. Finally, it gradually approached an island that took up quite a large area and looked a bit like an extremely large sea turtle.

Needless to say, this was the Black Turtle Island in the High Firmament Sect.

The ancient teleportation formation leading to the Hundred Mountains Realm, which was of utmost importance to Lingxiao Sect, should be located somewhere on this island. From the boat, one could see that the island was lush and dense, but one could not clearly see the situation on the island for a moment.

When the ship docked at a dock on the island, Immediately, an elder and senior apprentice-brother who was in charge of the affairs came over. Of course, the Origin Core Realm Grand Daoist would not personally call out for orders. Most of the people who personally did so were Divine Concept senior apprentice-brothers. At this moment, the hundreds of Origin Condensation Realm disciples obeyed the orders honestly and led the following teams towards the depths of the Black Turtle Island under the command of the senior apprentice-brothers.

Amongst the crowd, Shen Shi looked curiously at the island that he had come to for the first time. Young friend Sun had slipped back and walked side by side with him at some unknown time. He whispered, “Damn it, I’m tired to death. When dealing with these people, I was so worried that I didn’t even talk about it. Even my saliva was crippled.”

Shen Shi laughed and ignored him. The two of them walked all the way into the forest. After about half an hour, they arrived at the center of Black Turtle Island. A mountain ridge suddenly rose up in front of them. Below the mountain, there was a golden light. It was an ancient teleportation formation formed from dozens of enormous golden embryonic stones. It emitted an ancient and boundless aura.

A cave had been opened up beneath the precipice several hundred feet away from the formation. It was deep and unfathomable. It looked like a cave where someone was cultivating. However, for some reason, no one dared to approach it. Shen Shi glanced at the cave and wondered if that was the cave of Ancestor Huo Ye he had met before.

Just as he was thinking, Sun You, who was beside him, suddenly knocked him lightly. Shen Shi turned around and looked, However, Sun You’s expression was a little strange. He raised his eyes slightly to signal for him to look at the cliff ahead. Shen Shi looked up and said, After looking closely for a while, his expression suddenly changed. On the mountain wall, Within a thousand zhang cliff, There was actually a large area that was somewhat different from the surroundings, A large number of crisscrossed traces appeared. Clearly, they weren’t naturally generated. It looked rather like a time in the past when astonishing cultivators had attacked here. The most conspicuous part was that they forcefully dug out a large chunk of the mountain wall and sent it flying. It made one’s hair stand on end.

Apart from that, there was even a huge rift that split open the mountain and went straight down. It actually directly extended to less than ten feet above the quiet and deep cave. It seemed like someone had used a berserk strike to rip apart the mountain and rock, as if they wanted to directly destroy the cave.

Many disciples who passed by noticed the strange situation on the stone wall. In silence, countless gazes lingered on the strange stone wall.

When did that leave behind traces, and what kind of person would they be? They would actually fight in one of the most important places of the Lingxiao Sect Sect?
