Chapter 209 Entering the Dead Black Sea
Two days later, Zhu Chongjiu arrived at the surface of the Dead Black Sea planet.
Previously, when Zhu Chongjiu was gazing at this mysterious planet from afar in the void, he was already surprised to find that there was no trace of land on the surface of the planet that he could observe.
The entire planet is completely enveloped by the vast and boundless ocean, resembling a giant blue water sphere suspended in the universe.
When he finally arrived on the surface of this planet, even though he had anticipated it, the vast and magnificent ocean before him still deeply shocked him.
Within the range covered by its powerful divine sense and internal energy, the scenery varied.
In some areas, the sea is calm and the surface is as smooth as a sapphire, reflecting the clouds in the sky.
In some places, towering waves surged and undulated, seemingly threatening to engulf the heavens and the earth.
What's even more chilling is that in some corners the seawater is an eerie, pitch-black color, so deep and dark that it's like an endless abyss. Just a glance from afar is enough to send chills down your spine and fill you with fear.
Over the past two days, Zhu Chongjiu has been working with Elder Youhe to learn about deeper levels of information within the primordial universe.
It concerns the human race, and also the immortal race, but the most important ones are the immortal emperors and immortal venerables within the immortal race.
Thus, Zhu Chongjiu also learned that the Old Man of Youhe was a subordinate of Empress Huang Ting.
Empress Huang Ting had instructed him, "When someone is facing a life-or-death situation, he should step in to save them."
Ever since he was in the Qingfeng World, the Old Man of Youhe has been by his side.
While waiting inside the Crimson Flame Planet, its unique geographical conditions prevented him from rescuing Zhu Chongjiu when he was in danger.
Because of this, Empress Huang Ting gave him a severe scolding.
After the old man from Youhe recounted his story, Zhu Chongjiu learned why he had caught the attention of Empress Huang Ting, and he was very grateful for the help he received from this fellow empress.
Actually, he had already guessed something when the Old Man of the Nether River appeared.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given the True Thunder Immortal Lord's storage ring to Old Man Youhe without hesitation.
Having cultivated to his level, as long as the other party is not too much stronger than him, he can easily sense whether they are good or evil.
After discussing the human and immortal races, Zhu Chongjiu asked the old man Youhe a final question about the gods.
They were not ancient gods, but gods from the Azure God Realm where he had previously resided.
The old man from Youhe explained that in many human worlds, there are a small number of people with the bloodline of ancient gods.
However, even the bloodline of the ancient gods has become extremely diluted to a negligible degree.
Moreover, he does not have a powerful force in the Immortal Realm, and most people who enter the Immortal Realm will join the human race.
Eventually, they were gradually diluted and transformed into true humans.
Most of the rest, like some humans, were controlled by the immortals and became servants and slaves.
Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu had asked almost all the questions he needed to, the Old Man Youhe explained some things about the Dead Black Sea to Zhu Chongjiu.
Because Elder Youhe mainly cultivates water-based laws, he often cultivated in the Dead Black Sea before reaching the Heavenly Monarch level.
Through the perception of the Old Man of the Nether River, Zhu Chongjiu learned that in some places within the Dead Black Sea, even a Celestial Lord would face a near-certain death if he entered.
Therefore, he needs to be extra careful.
As the two parted, the Old Man of Youhe told Zhu Chongjiu that, according to reliable sources, the Immortal Emperors of the Zilei, Zhurong, and Baofeng lineages had dispatched a total of seventeen Immortal Lords to kill him.
This time, however, he was not accompanied by any ordinary celestial soldiers or generals.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "In this way, with the addition of Immortal Lord Yaoshun and the two Immortal Lords from the Great True Dharma Master's side, there are a total of twenty Immortal Lords!"
I, Zhu Chongjiu, am but a lowly Heavenly General, yet I have quite the airs.
Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu showed no change upon hearing the news, the old man Youhe nodded to himself, thinking to himself, "This young man truly has the demeanor of a great general, remaining calm and fearless in the face of danger."
He is both meticulous and incredibly capable; truly a rare talent.
After sighing, the old man from Youhe also told Zhu Chongjiu not to be too afraid.
Because even his own family members began to mobilize powerful individuals to protect him.
However, since their own people are at a disadvantage in the metaverse, they cannot be so blatant.
This inevitably leaves some areas beyond our reach.
He needs to be even more careful.
Finally, the old man of Youhe bid a brief farewell to Zhu Chongjiu, as he was about to hand over the storage ring containing a vast amount of resources to Empress Huang Ting.
These immortal crystals might not mean much to an immortal emperor, but for a human emperor who is being suppressed everywhere, they could be a lifesaver in his immediate crisis.
After recalling his time with Elder Youhe over the past two days, Zhu Chongjiu released the little creatures from his storage ring.
As soon as the little ones came out of their storage rings, they immediately asked Zhu Chongjiu about what had happened during that time.
Zhu Chongjiu then selectively shared some of his thoughts with the others.
However, Zhu Chongjiu noticed that while everyone else was listening attentively to his story, Xiao Rou was distracted and kept looking at the distant sea.
Apart from Xiao Rou, Xiao Hei also looked somewhat listless and dejected.
After he finished telling his story, Zhu Chongjiu came to Xiaorou and asked in a gentle, questioning voice, "Xiaorou, what's wrong?"
"what?
Ah, Ninth Brother, it's nothing, I just feel this place is very familiar and welcoming.
It seems like I've been here before.
Zhu Chongjiu frowned upon hearing Xiaorou's reply.
After increasing his spiritual energy and carefully sensing for a while, he finally got the answer.
Because when he first arrived on this planet, he also had a slightly strange feeling.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking it was just due to his cultivation of the water element law.
Thanks to Xiao Rou's reminder and combined with the legends I had heard from Murong Yu, I now know that this place was Senior Shui Ying's former training ground.
No wonder the seawater in some places is as black as ink, like heavy water.
Now it seems that it was just diluted heavy water.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu burst into laughter.
The children were at a loss for what to do about his situation.
Xiao Jin whispered to the others, "What's wrong with Ninth Brother?"
Have they been driven mad by the repeated battles?
After flicking Xiao Jin on the forehead, Zhu Chongjiu stopped laughing and said to everyone, "With Xiao Rou here, it's like we're at home."
Even if there are twenty immortal lords, what can they do?
Come to Senior Shuiying's house and see how I deal with you.
Murder and arson bring wealth and honor; Senior Youhe, you just wait.
If this continues, I'll take care of Empress Huang Ting's cultivation resources!
Oh no, I'll wrap half.
After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking his grand words and was overjoyed, he looked at Xiao Hei.
Seeing that Xiao Hei was drowsy and about to fall asleep, Zhu Chongjiu woke Xiao Hei up and asked, "Xiao Hei, what's wrong?"
"Did the journey earlier take too long and you haven't recovered yet?"
Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's question, Xiao Hei forced himself to reply, "No, Ninth Brother, I just want to sleep."
I can't help feeling sleepy.
Perhaps his old ailment flared up again in the divine void of the Azure God Realm?
Upon hearing Xiao Hei's answer, Zhu Chongjiu was still reminiscing about his time with Xiao Hei in the Divine Void when Xiao Rou interrupted his thoughts with a question: "Brother Xiao Hei, is this a sign that you're about to advance and level up?"
Upon hearing Xiao Rou's words, Zhu Chongjiu slapped his head hard.
This slap caused the seawater beneath their feet to surge into giant waves several meters high.
I'm such a pig-headed person; I always make mistakes, even about things right in front of me.
Seeing this, the other children, especially Xiao Jin who was covering his forehead, shrank back and whispered, "It seems that Ninth Brother really went easy on me when he flicked my forehead."
As Xiao Jin was talking to himself, he heard Zhu Chongjiu continue, "Xiao Hei is about to come of age; it's going to grow up in a deep sleep!"
After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu let Xiao Hei enter his storage ring to fall asleep.
During this time, he also instructed the rat guards who were hiding in the storage ring to keep watch and to notify him immediately if Xiao Hei made any moves.
Upon hearing this, Haozi Guangwei repeatedly agreed, not daring to disobey Zhu Chongjiu's orders in the slightest.
Over the years, as the little creatures entered and exited the storage ring one after another, Haozi Guangwei learned about the glorious deeds of the human race outside from their conversations.
After everything was resolved, Zhu Chongjiu looked at Xiaorou and said to her, "Xiaorou, we're at your home now."
You can lead the way and show us around your vast home.
We should also give our invading enemies a little surprise.
Let them never return!
After saying that, the group disappeared instantly from the calm sea.
