Chapter 683: Chapter 682: Su Qi Encounters a New Video

Su Qi arrived on the island and was surprised to find people collapsed by the road near the coast.

And it wasn’t just one person.

She soon approached a little girl, but just as she was about to check on her, she discovered the child had a Seal on her.

And it was a type of Seal she couldn’t comprehend at all.

’What’s going on here? There are actually ordinary people here.’

Su Qi didn’t touch the little girl. This Seal was not something she could afford to touch carelessly.

She didn’t know if it was dangerous, but not touching it was certainly the safest option.

Su Qi then looked around and saw people, fishing nets, and fishing boats.

’So, these are fishermen at work?’

Su Qi was a little surprised. The presence of fishermen implied there was a human village or town nearby.

’But this place can’t be safe, can it?’

Su Qi shook her head. Perhaps a human Cultivator was stationed here, keeping it safe.

Su Qi then headed further inland. She found a proper road, likely built by the locals.

Soon enough, Su Qi discovered she was right—there was indeed a town here.

However, it was just an ordinary, nameless town, and its architectural style was a bit odd.

It resembled an ancient style, yet it wasn’t quite the same.

Su Qi remained vigilant, but she didn’t sense any danger.

Her interest in what lay inside the town was now piqued.

The only thing was, the town was crowded. Fortunately, the people here were standing still; otherwise, it would have been quite a hindrance for her.

Then, Su Qi entered the town. The instant she stepped inside, everything changed.

Everyone began to move. Children played and laughed, and the streets came alive, bustling with an endless stream of people.

Su Qi gripped her sword, her eyes scanning her surroundings. ’This is too bizarre.’

It was as if she had stepped into an entirely different world.

She couldn’t afford to let her guard down for even a moment in this strange and unfamiliar place.

Just as she was on high alert, she suddenly heard a little girl laugh. "What a cute little fish! Can I have it?"

Su Qi glanced to the side and saw a little girl in a white dress squatting in front of a fish stall. She looked very happy as she watched the small fish in the water.

The stall owner quickly said, "That’ll cost you, little miss. Did you bring any money?"

The little girl held two apples in her hands. She looked at them and said, "This is all I have... but I can’t trade them."

The owner waved his hand dismissively. "Then hurry on home. It’s not safe out here. Come back with an adult."

"Oh." With that, the little girl walked away, disappointed.

It was then that Su Qi realized this little girl was a younger version of Qin Qianning. A male Candidacy Saintess had shared a similar vision last time.

This time, however, she seemed even younger.

’So, have I entered another video?’

Su Qi then checked her mark and found that a shared message had indeed appeared.

Meanwhile, as Su Qi was entering the video, Qing Lian, who was following Blade Master Hai Bian, suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Hai Bian, I need to stop for a moment."

Blade Master Hai Bian was confused.

Qing Lian explained, "It’s a matter concerning the Holy Land. It might be urgent. I apologize for the trouble, Fellow Daoist."

As she spoke, Qing Lian gave a slight bow.

Blade Master Hai Bian sighed but said nothing, simply nodding in silence.

This place wasn’t safe, and it wasn’t the same island where Liuyue Xue and the others were. He had just communicated with the rest of the group and discovered that their respective islands were vastly different.

As for Chi Xue Child, he was still drifting in the ocean; he couldn’t fly.

Fortunately, he had a large tree to cling to, or he would have been in despair.

Chi Xue Child was munching on a popsicle, not in any particular hurry. His main concern was how long the popsicle would last.

Meanwhile, Red Sword rested on his lap.

If danger approached, Red Sword would alert him.

"Who knows when this will ever end," Chi Xue Child said, gazing out at the boundless ocean.

’Well, the ocean... it’s all water.’

Just then, Red Sword suddenly began to vibrate. BUZZZ.

Chi Xue Child asked curiously, "Bloody Wave? A perfect chance to practice my comprehension? Alright, just let me finish this popsicle first."

And Chi Xue Child decided this popsicle would need to be eaten over the course of an entire day.

Jingyue was currently walking on a volcano, feeling that something was waiting for her within it.

Just as she reached the halfway point, she received a message from her mark:

[Candidacy Saintess Jiu Xi has shared an official online video. Receive?]

[Yes/No]

"Well, well, our little grumbler has some good luck, finding a video so quickly. I wonder what this one will show.

How exciting."

With that, Jingyue opened the video.

She had no plans to rest. The volcanic path was stable enough to walk on without issue.

’As for flying?’

’No, the airspace is restricted here. Forget flying—even walking is a struggle under this immense pressure. This is a great chance to train. I might even be able to level up from this fortunate encounter.’

’Speaking of which, I’ve been leveling up like a rocket lately. I never would have dared to imagine this in the past.’

’But the experiences I’ve had recently have been far more intense than before. There were times when the slightest misstep could have meant death.’

’When did all these changes start, I wonder?’

’It feels like it all began after I thought my time was up, right?’

’I haven’t felt that way at all recently.’

"What a miraculous turning point in my life."

Then, Jingyue continued walking while watching the video. (This is a dangerous stunt. Please do not imitate.)

Jiang Zuo, of course, also received the notification.

The Divine Dragon then asked, "So, when do we depart? Are there any other details you need me to handle?"

Jiang Zuo didn’t reply, opening the video instead.

He then replied to the Divine Dragon, "Give me some time. I need to think. And by the way, take the Spiritual Dragon with you and have it mark more Spirit Beasts."

The Divine Dragon asked, "Is marking more of them useful? Even if it can draw on their power, it needs a long time to rest after just one use."

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "With the Spiritual Dragon’s constitution, drawing power a second time in short succession isn’t an issue. The problem is that it’s too weak to even get a chance to draw power in the first place."

The Spiritual Dragon’s weakness was a well-known fact. Despite its incredible Talent, it lacked strength. A wild Spiritual Dragon trying to borrow power on its own would find it impossible.

Even though its marks were stealthy, it couldn’t draw power from Spirit Beasts of the same tier unless they were willing.

Not every creature could be like the Jinling Loach, which roamed freely throughout a Sect.

Its marks went unnoticed because its tier was so high.

Since Jiang Zuo had spoken, the Divine Dragon said no more and immediately took the Spiritual Dragon to find other Spirit Beasts.

Jiang Zuo sat down right where he was and began to think.

This left Mu Lin and the Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the end, Mu Lin decided not to dwell on it. Since she couldn’t fight back right now, she might as well go beat up Saint Dragon Shuang Ying.

She was, however, quite curious about this Tier Nine Dragon.

Mu Lin approached the Tier Nine Dragon and said, "Elder, I heard that our time is now considered an ancient era. Did you know that?"

The Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon nodded. "I sensed it the moment I awoke. In time, you should be able to sense it as well."

Mu Lin sighed. "I wonder what the outside world is like now... and if Elder Qin is still the number one figure in the Cultivation Realm.

Or if my Sect’s lineage even still exists."

She had wanted to ask Jiang Zuo, but she didn’t quite dare.
