CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 108 ENDLESS STAR SEA

This ocean is simply vast, occupying nearly eighty to ninety percent of the entire starry space. Above the ocean, stars constantly sink and rise, making the majestic ocean also shimmer with silver radiance.

This scenery, it greatly resembled the Milky Way above Earth!

However, unlike the Milky Way, the stars here seemed to perfectly merge with the ocean, with many stars swirling in the sky, occasionally plunging into the sea, stirring up enormous waves as high as tens of miles, capable of reaching the heavens.

Li Qingming stepped forward, trying to scoop up a handful of sea water with Yuqing True Essence, only to find that his True Essence Power, upon entering the ocean, disappeared like a clay ox into the sea, instantly swallowed by the water.

He tried several more times and found it to be the case each time, hence he looked at the slightly green sea water, somewhat lost in thought.

"No, there’s something wrong with this sea water!" Suddenly, Shakyamuni, who was standing beside Li Qingming, spoke out.

"What’s wrong with it?" Yang Jian asked curiously, looking at the sea water.

"First, there are no living creatures in this sea water, not even the most common seaweed! Second, the water is slightly green, neither divine sense nor True Yuan can scoop up this sea water. Aren’t these two points enough to explain something?" Shakyamuni asked back, pointing at the sea water.

"Thump!"

Just then, a creature resembling a mountain goat hurried down from a nearby hill, unable to stop and charging straight into the water.

It struggled violently, but its body continued to sink rapidly, its flesh turning visibly into white bones, and in a moment, it was swallowed up by the vast ocean.

"This water, what the hell is this water? It’s absolutely terrifying, many times more horrifying than the water in the Buddha Transformation Pond!" Even Long Xuhu, a newly advanced sub-saint, changed his expression and became wary of this ocean.

"Or, shall we fly over?" Lingshu Bodhisattva, who had been lagging behind the group, meekly suggested.

"Yeah, let’s give it a try!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhan Long, feeling somewhat anxious, began to soar, preparing to cross the sea.

But after flying tens of miles and resting on a star, he flew back.

"Hey, why are you back so soon?" Li Qingquan asked in surprise.

"Second young master, it’s not that I wanted to come back, it’s just impossible to fly further. This vast ocean is too strange, the stars are not so simple, filled with strange law fluctuations, neither like an Array nor the pressure of a Spiritual Treasure, but they can still limit the consumption of True Yuan. With my current cultivation, absorbing and refining spiritual energy is not fast enough, and I could only make it out a hundred thousand miles before falling into the sea!" Zhan Long explained with a wry smile.

"Damn, are we supposed to be trapped and die here?" Long Xuhu cursed furiously, frowning.

"Master Li, attempting through the Space Law also seems impossible. The space here is too stable, unable to be torn apart!" At this moment, Shakyamuni said with a worried look, his face no longer having its usual calmness and serenity.

The scene fell into silence, everyone at a loss.

"I remember now!" Suddenly, the ever-frowning Yin Xi exclaimed, "I never thought it would be here!"

Li Qingming quickly turned to Yin Xi and asked, "Senior, what do you remember?"

Yin Xi, with a solemn expression, said, "This is the Star Sea!"

"Star Sea? What is the Star Sea?" Li Qingming asked, frowning.

"The so-called Star Sea is, as the name suggests, an ocean formed by stars," Yin Xi elaborated, "Legend has it that the Star Sea can block the Power of Soul and contains a hint of Yin Pole Rule Power. It is formed by the collision of Xuanhuang Qi and the Origin Power of All Worlds, and it also contains a small amount of Xuanhuang Crystals and the Spirit of All Worlds. But legends are just legends, nobody has ever seen the Star Sea. I never imagined..."

Li Qingming was momentarily stunned, thinking, "Could it really be such a coincidence? Again related to Xuanhuang Qi and the Origin Power of All Worlds! But what exactly are Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds?"

Thinking this, Li Qingming raised his head and asked, "Senior, what exactly are Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds?"

Yin Xi waved his hand and said, "Well, Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds usually appear together. Legend has it that if you obtain them and completely refine them, you can easily merge Xuanhuang Qi and the Origin Power. As for whether that’s really the case, I’m not entirely sure. After all, these items have never appeared since the First Epoch!"

"May I ask if there is a way to cross the sea?" The crowd asked in unison.

Yin Xi fell into reminiscence, and after a long pause, he said, "The only way is to find the Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds hidden at the bottom of the sea, which would freeze the entire Star Sea. After that, all corresponding water quality and flight problems would solve themselves!"

"What? Go to the Endless Star Sea to search for the Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds? Isn’t that sending ourselves to death?"

The crowd was horrified; the vast ocean covered eighty to ninety percent of the entire star area, and the terrifying water quality was daunting, making them wonder how they could ever search for the Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds.

"I’ll go down and have a look; you guys wait here!" Li Qingming said after a silent half-moment.

"No, brother! It’s too dangerous in the water!" Li Qingquan grabbed Li Qingming’s arm, "I’ll go!"

"Nonsense!" Li Qingming’s face darkened, and he said, "I have the Qiankun Tripod to protect me, and in critical moments, I can even activate my Primordial Spirit to escape the vast ocean. I am the most suitable one to go!"

"This..."

"All right, I’m going down!" Li Qingming shrugged off Li Qingquan’s arm, summoned the misty Qiankun Tripod, and in the blink of an eye, plunged into the Star Sea.

...

This was a world of azure and emerald, eerily quiet, with indistinct directions and obscure paths ahead.

With the Qiankun Tripod above his head, Li Qingming sank to the bottom of the Star Sea, feeling endless pressure eroding the protective light of the Qiankun Tripod, continuously consuming his True Essence Power.

"This method of searching isn’t working! In the vast boundless ocean, maybe there’s another way... Yes, the Tao Soul Lamp!" Suddenly, Li Qingming’s eyes brightened, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he summoned the Artifact Spirit of the Fire Origin Dao Foundation, Heavenly Fire, which was bickering with two other Artifact Spirits in the Spiritual Treasure Space.

"Ah, Master! You finally remembered me!" As soon as Heavenly Fire appeared inside the Qiankun Tripod, it flapped its wings joyfully, flying around Li Qingming, "Eh! Where is this, Master?"

Li Qingming patted Heavenly Fire’s little head, carefully explained the situation, and then conjured the ancient Tao Soul Lamp, saying, "This is the situation! I called you out to ask if the Tao Soul Lamp can locate the Xuanhuang Crystal and the Spirit of All Worlds?"

"Well, Master, you can give it a try. According to the old master’s words, as long as it deals with Xuanhuang Qi and the Origin of All Realms, the Tao Soul Lamp can sense it!" Heavenly Fire tilted its little head and pondered for a while before speaking.

"Oh!" A glint of joy flashed through Li Qingming’s eyes, he raised the Tao Soul Lamp, and fiercely poured True Essence into it.

"Bang!"

Instantly, a dazzling brilliance surged up from the unstable wick, shooting straight from the profound seabed into the Heavenly Vault, illuminating the area for miles around in unmatched brilliance.

Outside the Star Sea.

"What’s that?" Li Qingquan pointed to the light pillar shooting into the sky, tens of thousands of miles away, his face filled with shock.

"Such pure energy, could it be that a Saint has descended into the world!"

The rest of the Quasi-Saints were all startled.

Yang Jian anxiously said, "That Master, could Master be in danger?"

Yin Xi focused, his eyes shot out cold light like lightning that tore through the Void, fixedly staring at the dazzling light pillar.

After a long moment, Yin Xi laughed lightly and said, "No worry! Mixed within that light pillar is a trace of Yuqing Power, presumably it’s Qingmingzi who released it!"

The Eastern Extremity.

"What!" Demon Night abruptly stood up from the jade throne in the grand hall, his face showing an incredulous expression.

Po Suo hesitated, looking towards the distant soaring light, and said, "Fellow Daoist, that light source..."

"Can’t help it! Looks like we have to use the Holy-level Puppet Beast now!" Demon Night’s face darkened, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. (To be continued.
