Chapter 420 Nine Beast Dzi Beads
Four hours later, Zhao Mu and Tang Qing left the Devil Sect and headed south.
Until now, Tang Qing was still in shock. She confirmed with Zhao Mu again and again, "Can you really wake my father up?"
Zhao Mu rubbed Tang Qing's head dotingly. "How many times have I said it? I'm at least 80% confident."
An eighty percent chance of success was already very high.
When Tang Qing brought Tang Yuan's corpse back to the Devil Sect from the Sword Immortal Pavilion, she had tried many methods, but she was unable to wake him up.
Although there was still a trace of Qi left in Tang Yuan's body, his soul had long been annihilated. His current state was that of a living dead. Apart from the fact that he had yet to be buried, he was no different from being dead.
Tang Qing had long given up hope.
But today, Zhao Mu suddenly came to her door and said that he had a way to wake Tang Yuan up. How could Tang Qing not be excited?
However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she still could not figure out how Zhao Mu could awaken her father who had already lost his soul.
'Fine, I'll believe him this time.'
Tang Qing pursed her red lips and said shyly and resentfully, "Next time, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't suddenly barge in. You scared me."
"I know I was wrong. I'll do it again next time."
"You …"
Tang Qing was speechless.
It was too torturous to meet such a shameless guy.
"Where are we going?" Tang Qing came back to her senses and realized that they had unknowingly left the Devil Sect tens of thousands of miles away.
How long had it been?
Zhao Mu's spatial divine ability was already so powerful?
"The South Sea."
Tang Qing was shocked again. "The Devil Sect is more than tens of thousands of miles away from the South Sea. I've only heard some rumors about the four seas, but I've never seen it with my own eyes."
Zhao Mu was a little surprised. Even a Tribulation Transcendence expert like Tang Qing had never gone out to sea?
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
The Immortal Martial Continent was vast. It was already very difficult for cultivators to travel millions of miles by flying on their swords.
Moreover, the habitable areas of the Immortal Martial Continent were basically in the central region of the continent. There were very few people in the periphery. Not many people would spend a long time passing through the uninhabited area just to see the vast sea outside.
Only Heaven Realm experts could ignore the obstacles brought by such a long distance.
This added another layer of doubt to Zhao Mu.
If that was the case, why would Tang Yuan's remnant soul appear in the distant South Sea?
That's right, the reason Zhao Mu was so sure he could awaken Tang Yuan was because he could sense Tang Yuan's soul aura through the Ten Thousand Mammoths Immortal Eyes.
Since the remnant soul was indestructible, as long as he retrieved Tang Yuan's remnant soul and used the power of the Law of Life to awaken Tang Yuan, it would be a piece of cake.
If it were someone else, Zhao Mu would not have bothered to put in so much effort.
However, Tang Yuan was the founding ancestor of the Devil Sect, the father of Empress Qing Yun, and his future father-in-law. It was still worth it for him to do something.
But now, it seemed that there were still many suspicious points about Tang Yuan's death back then.
According to Sword God Qu Liu's words, Tang Yuan had once faced the power of the Crafty Dao. In the end, he was corroded by the Crafty Dao and ended up destroying his own soul a hundred years ago.
But now, Zhao Mu had discovered Tang Yuan's remnant soul fluctuation in the South Sea. This was very strange.
If Sword God Qu Liu was not lying, then there was only one other possibility.
Tang Yuan had once gone to the South Sea and encountered something there that caused him to lose a remnant soul.
Anyway, he would go to the South Sea first. When he found his father-in-law's remnant soul, the truth would naturally come to light.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? If we were to go to the South Sea, I would have to make more preparations. This trip would take at least half a year. If you and I left the Devil Sect without saying a word, the elders would be looking for us all over the world," Tang Qing muttered.
"It won't take that long. If you're tired, you can take a nap first. When you wake up, we'll naturally be in the South Sea," Zhao Mu said confidently.
With his current strength, there was no place in the Immortal Martial Continent that he couldn't go. Not to mention the coastal waters, he could even go to the distant seas or the other hemisphere without any problems.
However, the Immortal Martial Continent was only one piece of land. At most, there were a few scattered islands in the four seas. There wasn't much value in going there.
Tang Qing nodded skeptically. She had just been tormented by Zhao Mu and was indeed a little weak now. Thus, she fell asleep in Zhao Mu's arms.
Tang Qing didn't sleep for long before she regained consciousness.
When she opened her eyes, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
"Is this the South Sea?
What a magnificent scene. It's indeed not something the inland lakes and rivers can compare to. "
It was Zhao Mu's first time seeing the sea on the Immortal Martial Continent.
The difference between the sea and the sea was greater than he had imagined.
There was no sunlight, only a sparkling beach.
Only a few hundred meters high surged violently against the cliffs on the shore, splashing water up to the clouds.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled. It was a scene of doomsday.
This sea … was a little violent.
Although it wasn't a threat to him, this harsh environment was indeed not suitable for survival.
No wonder the thousands of miles around the shore was a desolate scene. Not to mention people living here, even ants couldn't be seen.
After admiring the surging sea for a while, Zhao Mu didn't stay any longer. He directly rose into the air and flew into the clouds. Then, he used his Immortal Eyes of Ten Thousand Things to search for the specific location of Tang Yuan's remnant soul.
It was not far ahead.
After going a few thousand miles into the sea, a very large island appeared in front of them.
The terrain of this island was very high. It was surrounded by cliffs that were thousands of meters high, blocking the violent sea currents outside.
The area of the island wasn't too big, but it was still a hundred miles wide. The vegetation was sparse, and there were many ruins of buildings scattered around. There was also a faint fluctuation of the aura of a formation.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately went ashore.
When they arrived at the ruins, Zhao Mu glanced around and saw a broken stone tablet.
"Ze Tian Sect?
There's actually a sect here? "
Zhao Mu thought to herself, 'Could this be the legendary hidden sect?'
It was indeed very secretive. This was a desolate place. If one did not make a special trip here, not a single person would appear here in eight lifetimes.
"Ze Tian Sect?
I seem to have some recollection of this name. "
"Back then, Father mentioned this name before. When he was young, he was a disciple of the Heaven Illumination Sect, and there were a few other friends with him. Now, all of them are famous characters of the Immortal Martial Continent. Uncle Situ and Aunt Jianjia also came from the Heaven Illumination Sect."
Oh?
How could a small Heaven Scorpion Sect cultivate two Celestial Realm masters?
Not simple at all.
Unfortunately, it had been abandoned for too long. Coupled with the constant erosion of the waves and sea breeze, there was nothing left except for the ruins in front of him.
"Father's remnant soul … could it be here?" Tang Qing suddenly became nervous.
Zhao Mu nodded.
He glanced around and locked onto the location. Then, he activated the Law of Space and directly tore a crack in the ground.
A moment later, a clump of soil flew into Zhao Mu's hand.
The water rippled and washed away the dirt, revealing its true appearance.
It was a Heavenly Jewel carved with nine strange beasts.
Heavenly Jewel of Nine Beasts?
Could it be that the Heavenly Jewel of Nine Phoenixes that Kong Miaoyin took from the Devil Sect's treasury and the Heavenly Jewel of Nine Dragons that was stolen from the Sword Immortal Pavilion's treasury came from the same source as this?
