227: Ji Ruqianlong's voice

Descendant of the Sea God.

Legend has it that he possesses the purest Bloodline of the ocean, naturally wielding the authority over water.

At the age of three, he was already capable of standing by the sea, summoning immense tsunamis that submerged thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

In places abundant with water elements, he was an almost invincible existence.

With such a powerful individual blocking the spatial node, the surrounding people all retreated, no one daring to challenge his Aura.

Even Lin Yang and the others did not act rashly.

Firstly, they didn't want to engage in conflict with such a powerful individual without reason.

Secondly, the lake island was vast, and there was more than one spatial node to enter first, so there was no need to fight over a single one.

Looking around.

Lin Yang noticed that on the vast blood lake, there was also an ancient ruin at the edge, standing alongside the lake island, and many people were gathered there as well.

There, a huge, ancient stone gate stood by the blood lake, glowing brightly, with its portal wide open.

Continuous streams of clear water flowed out from the luminous portal, pouring into the blood lake.

"The Spiritual Qi is so dense that it has turned into a liquid river!" Lin Yang was shocked.

It seemed like the source of the vast lake water before him, but very few people paid attention to it; most were circling the lake island.

"That is..."

Suddenly, Lin Yang's eyes widened, revealing an incredibly astonished expression.

Because he saw a familiar leaf floating out from the mottled stone gate, along the river.

The leaf was small, about the size of a baby's palm, but it was exceptionally delicate, with mysterious patterns, containing an unparalleled Qi.

"A leaf of the eternal flower..."

Lin Yang's heart trembled; the leaf flowing with the water was one of the nine leaves of the eternal flower.

However, many people had never seen the eternal flower and simply took it for an ordinary leaf, so no one bothered to retrieve it.

Whoosh!

Before others could notice anything unusual, Lin Yang immediately rushed over with lightning speed and retrieved the eternal leaf from the water.

As the leaf fell into his palm, an Aura of eternal indestructibility immediately emanated.

This confirmed to Lin Yang that he had not been mistaken; this was indeed one of the nine leaves of the eternal flower.

However, he was quickly shocked.

Because this was not a leaf from the eternal flower that he and Li Shiya had obtained together in the forbidden zone.

Moreover.

Although this leaf still exuded an Aura of eternal indestructibility, the energy within it seemed to have been eroded by countless eons, long since depleted.

"Could there be two eternal flowers in this world?"

Lin Yang felt very strange.

For a divine object like the eternal flower, after one disappears, it would take at least tens of thousands of years for another to be born under some Opportunity.

Not long ago, he and Li Shiya had taken the only eternal flower.

In such a short time, it should logically be impossible for a second eternal flower to appear.

Lin Yang placed the leaf in his palm to observe it.

Finally, on the reverse side, he discovered a line of vibrant red characters.

As bright as blood, shimmering with an unusual brilliance, almost about to drip from the leaf.

This was a line of blood-red characters: "Heavenly God, where are you?"

"Alas..."

In an instant, Lin Yang seemed to hear a woman's helpless sigh, faintly coming from beyond the endless years, carrying desolation and bewilderment... "This is... Qian Long's voice!?"

Lin Yang's pupils contracted sharply.

He didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he had just heard Ji Ru Qianlong's sigh.

Ji Ru Qianlong's mysterious disappearance had always been an unsolved mystery in his heart.

He never expected to suddenly hear her voice again today.

He looked down; the blood-red characters on the leaf were very fresh, some bloodstains even still wet.

Could Ji Ru Qianlong be behind the glowing stone gate right before him?

"No, there's the power of time on the leaf..."

Lin Yang concentrated and immediately felt disappointed again.

Because it was unknown when this leaf was left, and no Aura of a living being emanated from behind the portal.

Whoosh!

Just then, another leaf flowed out from behind the portal, carried by the clear water.

Lin Yang quickly picked it up.

After flipping it over.

There was another line of blood-red characters: "Only I am left..." The sound of wind echoed, and Lin Yang seemed to see a blood-stained ancient realm.

A white-clad figure sat slumped at the end of the world, surrounded by countless corpses, blood flowing like a sea, the sky a dark expanse, without a glimmer of light.

The woman seemed to sense something, and the moment she looked back, the world spun, millennia passed, and all sights dissolved into fleeting smoke.

"It really is Qian Long's voice. What did she experience?"

Lin Yang's heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down.

It was hard to imagine where Ji Ru Qianlong went and what she encountered after her disappearance.

And to whom were the blood-red characters on these leaves meant to be conveyed?

Buzz!

While he was pondering, the third leaf arrived.

Flipping it over.

It also bore a line of blood-red characters: "May I ask, where is the Dao?"

This time, Lin Yang heard Ji Ru Qianlong's voice, filled with despair, as if her heart had turned to ashes.

He seemed to see a day in the future.

Stars fell, worlds collapsed.

Ji Ru Qianlong sat alone amidst the ruins of myriad realms, her eyes filled with infinite desolation and despair.

"..."

Lin Yang stared at the three leaves in his hand, speechless for a moment, standing in place, pondering for a long time without moving.

He waited for a long time, but no fourth leaf appeared.

"You, what did you get? Show it to me!"

Just as Lin Yang was staring blankly at the three leaves, a golden-armored figure noticed the anomaly, flew over with several attendants, and reached out to Lin Yang from above, saying.

"Descendant of the Sea God!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and the surrounding people retreated further, instantly leaving Lin Yang in an empty space.

It wasn't that those people were cowardly, but that the Descendant of the Sea God was too strong.

He wore golden armor, his long hair fluttering, holding a golden trident, majestic and formidable, like a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world.

This was a powerful young man, who pointed his golden battle halberd at Lin Yang from a distance and said, "I'll give you three breaths of time to present what you hold in your hand for me to see. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

As his voice fell, a golden wave surged out from the Void Realm, lifting the Descendant of the Sea God high.

He seemed to be standing on the vast ocean, his entire being exuding a vigorous spirit like an erupting undersea volcano, intensely blazing, looking down on all sides, with an Aura that could swallow mountains and rivers, asserting his sole dominance.

The nearby people were suppressed by his Aura and involuntarily retreated a considerable distance again.

"Didn't you hear? Sir wants you to bring over the leaf in your hand!"

Seeing no movement from Lin Yang, among the followers of the Descendant of the Sea God, a man in a silver helmet stepped forward, pointed at Lin Yang, and shouted loudly.

"Noisy!"

Lin Yang was deep in thought about the profound meaning behind Ji Ru Qianlong presenting these three leaves, and being suddenly interrupted, he naturally was not in a good mood.

"Disrespectful to Sir! You are courting death!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of that group of followers of the Descendant of the Sea God instantly turned cold, and the silver-helmeted man, without reason, directly stomped his foot down towards Lin Yang.
