Wind Spirit Pearl

Deep in the sea, Zhong Qing looked at the Aquatic Nightmare, which was deader than dead, with little ripple in his heart.

If he hadn't had some tricks up his sleeve, today, he would have been the one buried here.

However, recalling the scene in the illusion earlier, he felt a certain sense of melancholy.

He thought of his parents at home, and the friends and classmates who cared for him.

How he wished he could truly return to Blue Star.

Unfortunately, just as he said in the illusion, it was ultimately nothing more than a dream.

Zhong Qing calmed his thoughts, just as he was about to turn and leave.

"Eh!"

He let out a surprised cry.

At this moment, his Heavenly Eye had not yet closed, and in his line of sight, in a nearby underwater canyon, a crystalline jade bone was buried.

The jade bone shimmered all over, appearing extremely extraordinary.

A long sword was still stuck in the jade bone's chest.

Around the corpse, faint traces of a great battle could be seen.

Perhaps an extremely long time had passed.

The jade bone was not only buried by dust and sand, but even the traces of the great battle had been eroded beyond recognition by the seawater.

If Zhong Qing had not possessed the Heavenly Eye, he truly would not have discovered it.

Judging from the Dao rhyme emanating from the jade bone.

The Realm of this corpse before its death was extremely extraordinary, definitely above the Myriad Laws Realm.

Zhong Qing's figure flickered, and he arrived directly above the corpse.

He waved his hand, a divine light flashed, instantly clearing the dust and mud covering the jade bone.

"This sword is quite interesting!"

Zhong Qing beckoned casually, and the long sword on the jade bone automatically fell into his hand.

The sword body was three feet long, two inches thick, entirely dark gold, covered with runes, and its sharpness was restrained.

The sword had a name – Tongyou!

The Tongyou Sword did not appear to have many special features, but with Zhong Qing's Heavenly Eye wide open at this moment, he could feel that this sword contained a rather terrifying power, and if it were to fully erupt, killing a Myriad Laws Realm Cultivator would be effortless.

This was indeed a treasure.

Zhong Qing unceremoniously accepted it with a smile, directly storing the Tongyou Long Sword into his Small World.

He hadn't expected that chasing an Aquatic Nightmare would yield such a reward.

Moreover, the Tongyou Sword was not the entirety of his gains on this trip.

Zhong Qing's gaze continued to search around the corpse.

Finally, he truly discovered an extraordinary treasure.

It was a bead!

The bead was pure white and flawless, about the size of a baby's fist.

It contained a rich Law Origin within.

"This is?"

Zhong Qing was moved.

"Wind Spirit Orb!"

It is said that Cultivating to the extreme in the Myriad Laws Realm allows one to master the power of myriad Laws.

Of course, Laws are vast, profound, and mysterious.

To fully comprehend all myriad Laws is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

After all, human power has its limits.

Each Law, even for those with astonishing talent and aptitude that shook ancient and modern times, would take a long time to fully comprehend, and as for all of them, it is simply impossible.

Firstly, the energy cannot keep up, and secondly, the Lifespan does not allow it.

Cultivators can indeed live long, but they are not immortal.

Ultimately, Lifespan is constrained.

And after the Myriad Laws Realm, it is called the Returning to One Realm.

Taken from the meaning of myriad Laws returning to one.

This does not mean fusing all myriad Laws into one.

Instead, it means selecting one Law from the myriad Laws as one's own reliance.

Thus thoroughly laying the Foundation for one's future Dao Foundation.

For example, a person who chooses the Law of Wind as their Foundation will specialize in the Law of Wind in the future.

A person who chooses the Law of Fire as their Foundation will specialize in the Law of Fire in the future.

And this Wind Spirit Orb, for those who specialize in the Law of Wind, can be said to be a supreme treasure.

Not only can it help them in comprehending the Law of Wind as if divinely aided, but also if the Wind Spirit Orb is in their hands, the same techniques, with the Wind Spirit Orb's blessing, can unleash several times more power.

Of course, if it is in the hands of an enemy, this Wind Spirit Orb can be said to be a disaster for those who Cultivate the Law of Wind.

Just the characteristic that the Wind Spirit Orb can nullify the Law of Wind means that a person Cultivating the Law of Wind can only exert less than half of their full power in its presence, practically rendering them useless.

The cause of the Wind Spirit Orb's formation is unknown, not recorded in ancient books.

However, every time it appears, it causes countless people to fight and kill over it, triggering a great calamity.

It can be said to be a treasure among treasures!

Clearly, the corpse before him was the previous owner of the Wind Spirit Orb.

Zhong Qing hadn't expected to have such a harvest on this trip.

Acquiring two treasures made him feel much better.

He should thank this Aquatic Nightmare; if it weren't for her, he would have truly missed this Opportunity.

If the Aquatic Nightmare's spirit still existed after her death and received such thanks from Zhong Qing, what would she think?

...

When Zhong Qing returned from the sea, the small boat was drifting with the waves on the surface of the sea.

He entered the cabin and found Mei slumped in the driver's seat, occasionally muttering in her sleep, a blissful smile on her face, clearly immersed in a beautiful dream.

This was clearly a result of an illusion.

Even Zhong Qing was trapped by the Aquatic Nightmare's illusion, so Mei naturally couldn't escape.

However, the Aquatic Nightmare was gone, yet Mei was still deeply immersed in the illusion, unable to extricate herself.

One had to admit, her illusion was truly terrifying.

Zhong Qing stepped forward and woke Mei up.

The latter experienced a brief moment of confusion, and upon seeing Zhong Qing, her body jolted.

She quickly knelt on the ground.

"Master, please forgive me. It wasn't that Mei was intentionally negligent, but somehow, I... I just fell asleep."

Clearly, from beginning to end, he didn't even realize that he had fallen victim to the Aquatic Nightmare's trick.

"Let's get going!"

Zhong Qing said nothing more.

After leaving a single sentence, he directly exited the cabin.

Mei saw that Zhong Qing was not blaming him.

While sighing in relief, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He secretly warned himself.

In the future, he must not be so careless as to fall asleep while piloting the small boat.

This time, the Master did not hold it against him.

Next time, if he angered the Master, Heaven knows if he would ever wake up after falling asleep.

To make up for his mistake, Mei exerted two hundred percent of his energy and concentration.

In an instant, the small boat set off again.

It sailed towards the Abyss at an extremely fast speed.

Time, unknowingly, quietly passed for another three days.

This day!

Zhong Qing stood at the bow of the boat.

Occasionally taking a sip of strong liquor.

A setting sun hung diagonally in the sky.

Not only did it dye the horizon blood-red.

Even the sea surface was rendered completely red.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhong Qing frowned.

A gust of sea breeze blew, carrying a faint scent of blood.

Amidst the surging waves, the originally clear blue seawater had already turned a crimson red.

There were also several Spirit Dolphin Clan corpses, floating on the sea surface with the waves.

Zhong Qing's expression changed slightly.

He had a rather good impression of the Spirit Dolphin Clan.

However, now, there were several corpses of the Spirit Dolphin Clan floating on the sea surface for no reason, and looking at their scarred bodies, they had clearly undergone a tragic battle.

"Could it be that something has happened to the Spirit Dolphin Clan!"
