Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 670 Heading East, a Celestial Appears! (Part 2)

"Have you heard of Penglai Sea?" Tang Kecha didn't waste any words and went straight to the most important question.

The giant toad of "Penglai Sea" seemed to have not expected the other party to ask such a question. It was stunned for a moment before Tang Kecha threw a ball of fire into the toad's mouth.

He used this method to warn the other party not to play tricks.

The toad spirit rolled on the ground in pain, not daring to think any further, and kept saying, "I've heard of it, I've heard of it, the legendary sea where the sun fell!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.

They finally found a creature from the Penglai Sea that knew about it.

"Say more," Tang Kecha asked coldly, suppressing his emotions.

"Back when I was a lowly soldier in the Dragon Palace of Qinghai, I would occasionally overhear the generals drinking and chatting about the Penglai Sea, but apart from a legend about the sun falling, I can't remember much else."

The giant toad racked its brains but couldn't think of anything else, and even if it were asked to speak, it couldn't say anything.

The writer was worried about being exposed, and in fact, it wasn't even sure if the Penglai Sea really existed.

"Where is that Penglai Sea?" Tang Kecha then asked.

"I, I don't know."

"You'll find out soon enough. Think carefully about what those generals from the Dragon Palace have said," Tang Kecha threatened, another ball of fire appearing in his hand.

This was not his magic, but some kind of ultra-high temperature combustible.

It must be said that practice makes perfect, and Tang Kecha became increasingly skilled in torture.

Before long, with black smoke billowing from its mouth, the giant toad finally recalled some of its old memories.

"I remember now. Back then, it seems that a general from the Dragon Palace mentioned that the tenth sun that fell was located in the east, right next to the first sun that was rising. Therefore, if we head in the direction where the first sun rises, we will definitely find the Penglai Sea!"

"Are you trying to deceive us?" Tang Kecha suppressed his excitement, putting on a convincing act, and continued to threaten the giant toad.

"How dare I? How dare I? Every word is true. I, the toad, swear by the Heavenly Dao that if anything I just said is even slightly false, may I be annihilated, body and soul!" The giant toad was truly afraid and directly made a vow to the Heavenly Dao.

Song Changming couldn't help but look up at the sky, wondering if the Heavenly Dao had responded to the oath made.

No unusual phenomena occurred.

This made him wonder if the oath of Heaven was truly effective.
If we don't keep our vows, will Heaven really punish us?

Or is this oath of heaven just a fabricated myth?
He wanted to verify it, but the consequences of this oath of heaven were too frightening, so he dared not test it lightly.

The current focus is not on this so-called oath of heaven, but on the whereabouts of Penglai Sea as revealed by this giant toad.

They actually managed to get some leads and found clues related to the Penglai Sea.

Tang Ke finally relaxed completely when he saw that the giant toad dared to make a vow to Heaven, showing that he was still willing to believe in the existence of this vow.

"Heading east, huh?" Song Changming looked eastward, towards the plateau road they had come from, which might lead them back through Biyou Valley.

No wonder those dragons suddenly came from Qinghai to Biyou Valley in the east.

However, there is still one problem.

The giant toad only knew the direction, but not exactly how far it was from here.

Whether they can actually find Penglai Sea by heading east remains to be seen.

It's possible that the trip went unsuccessful, as the person who went there didn't see anything at all.

And that legend about the sun falling to earth is really too outrageous.

If the sun were to fall, the impact would be so powerful that it would destroy the world, leaving the primordial continent in peace.

With such a legend as a basis, the chances of success in finding Penglai Sea are quite high.

Even to the worst, perhaps the clues about the immortal fruit that the dragon heard from the old dragon king were just drunken ramblings.

The giant toad knew nothing about the magical fruits in Penglai Sea; it only knew the legend.

"Keep your mouth shut about what we're asking you today, or don't blame us for coming back to find you again. You probably don't want to see us again, do you?" Tang Kecha concluded with a threatening speech.

The reason they didn't just kill him outright was because they had reservations.

Indiscriminate killing and warfare in this territory will only increase the karmic burden.

If you kill too many people, you might suffer karmic consequences and endless retribution.

If they were to catch the eye of those truly powerful beings in the world, perhaps a single finger from them would be enough to crush them.

Before possessing overwhelming strength, it is best to avoid unnecessary killings, a sentiment echoed by many humans who have come here.

You must be careful to strike the right balance, or you will surely die!
It took the giant toad a long time to recover after watching the group leave.

"They survived."

It felt that today was truly an undeserved disaster, but fortunately, this human had not done anything terribly wrong.

"It's bad enough that the Dragon Palace is rife with fierce battles and dangers, but even this insignificant little pond is not safe."
"Well, at least I can stay outside for another ten years and then return to the Ancestor. The Ancestor is a great immortal; if I can get a minor official position from him, I can live a peaceful life."

The big toad grimaced and muttered to itself.

As for causing trouble for those humans, as a lowly monster, it never even considered it.

In this world, it's good enough to just survive. Only if one day one can cultivate great skills can one change the mindset of those at the bottom.

"Master, why don't we head east and look for clues along the way?" Tang Kecha suggested turning back immediately.

"Aren't we going to Qinghai to take a look?" Fran asked.

Tang Kecha shook his head and said, "If Penglai Sea is really in the east, then the closer we get to Penglai Sea, the more reliable and useful information we will be able to obtain."

The Dragon Palace in Qinghai is ultimately too dangerous; don't forget that the master's hands are stained with the blood of a dragon.

He had to consider this; there was no guarantee that if they went to Qinghai, they wouldn't be targeted by the Qinghai Dragon Clan for revenge.

This karmic connection must be taken seriously.

"Then let's go to the east, but we must avoid Biyou Valley." Song Changming was the one who made the final decision.

"Yes." Tang Kecha responded, then rode his iron folding fan, carrying the group as they flew close to the ground, returning to the plateau.

It's still the same scorched earth we came from.

But after a few days, Song Changming was surprised to find that this scorched land had changed quite a bit.

The once lifeless, hard black soil has gradually regained its vitality and become soft and moist after a refreshing rain.

After a few days, even new grass and flowers sprouted on the ground. This extremely fast environmental recovery speed truly opened Song Changming's eyes.

“With such abundant spiritual energy, there probably isn’t any wasteland on the original continent,” Song Changming said. “There is. The existence of many mountain and sea spirits is like a natural disaster; wherever they go, the environment becomes extreme,” Tang Kecha described.

Song Changming was well aware of this.

The powerful demon races in Kyushu are actually quite similar; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them calamity beasts.

The extreme environments in places like Yanzhou and Leizhou were caused by those demon races.

Many of the operating rules of the primordial continent are similar to those of the small world of Kyushu where he lived.

Or rather, these independent little worlds are inherently attached to and originated from this primordial land, and there must be some connection between them.

As for how those small worlds were formed, even Tang Kecha and the others didn't know.

They are still exploring many things, and perhaps only some ancient beings on the original continent know a thing or two.

More than ten days passed in this way.

The group successfully bypassed the Azure Valley without disturbing the several azure dragons inside, and continued their journey across the vast plateau.

Song Changming could sense that the terrain became higher the further east one went.

Correspondingly, the gravity they experience from heaven and earth is also gradually increasing.

Fortunately, they were only traveling at low altitudes, so they could still withstand the gravity exerted on them.

Their pace of travel wasn't slow; they could cover tens of thousands of miles a day.

Fran and Biyugen stood on the iron folding fan, constantly observing the surrounding movements with their eyes.

While using mental energy to project perception outwards allows for greater vigilance over farther distances, it also makes them more easily detected by powerful creatures.

Therefore, the safest and most discreet method is still to rely on visual inspection, or at most, to enhance eyesight with magical techniques.

Fran has a platinum eye-shaped mark on her forehead, like her third divine eye.

This is her related technique. By scanning with this divine eye, one can greatly enhance their vision and perceive even the smallest details.

Biyougen's pupils also changed somewhat, resembling a pair of beast eyes.

This is also one of her secret techniques, the Eye of the Beast God, which allows one to see hundreds of miles in a single glance, making it even more useful than her spiritual perception.

Suddenly, Bi Yougen gripped the longbow tightly in his hand, pointed it straight at the sky, and said with his head tilted back.

"Master, a large bird has spotted us!"

At that moment, Song Changming looked up and indeed saw a tiny white dot hovering above the clouds, an extremely difficult-to-detect presence.

The next moment, Song Changming's eyes also shone with divine light, and the white dot in the sky became crystal clear in an instant.

To be more precise, this large bird was a crane that was entirely white with a black head.

Despite the great distance, Song Changming still sensed that this large white crane was extraordinary.

As the great white crane flapped its wings, a rosy glow appeared, and even the places it passed over seemed to reflect a rainbow. This scene was as if it were painted by an artist looking up at the sky, beautiful and full of artistic conception.

The large white crane seemed to have sensed them as well, and the concealment talisman was useless against it.

Biyougen was ready for battle. Once the white crane showed any signs of diving down on them, she would not hesitate to unleash this charged arrow for a fatal blow.

"Don't panic." Song Changming suddenly stopped her and told her to suppress her hostility.

“This white crane is not targeting us.” Song Changming did not want to provoke unnecessary conflict. If the white crane was not targeting them, he did not want to attack it.

His subconscious told him that even he might not be able to handle this white crane!
Fortunately, the white crane only glanced at them before shifting its attention, flapping its wings and transforming into a white light as it flew away into the distance.

"Did you notice the altitude at which the white crane was flying just now?" Tang Kecha asked in a muffled voice.

"!" Fran was startled.

The white crane had just flown above the clouds, and that's an understatement when it's said to be 10,000 meters high!

If they were in their own little worlds and everything was normal, it wouldn't be difficult for the three of them to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters; it would be quite easy.

But here, under the extreme influence of gravity, let alone soaring ten thousand meters into the air and standing above the clouds, even if Tang Kecha could raise a height of a hundred meters on this high ground, that would be the result of exerting all his strength.

Even Song Changming couldn't guarantee that he could leap 10,000 meters into the air from here.

Suddenly, a crane's cry rang out, followed by a streak of light that cut through the dense clouds.

A violent energy wave struck a moment later, uprooting everything in sight.

Despite Tang Kecha's best efforts to stabilize the iron folding fan beneath him, he was still violently tossed about by the energy wave.

Tang Kecha fell heavily to the ground, already injured. Fran and Biyougen were no exception.

Only Song Changming was relatively unharmed. The energy wave came too suddenly, so he didn't have time to protect the three of them.

He stood firmly on the ground, using his master-level power to resist the aftershocks of the energy, his eyes shining even brighter.

My field of vision expanded rapidly, allowing me to see through the earth and the sky.

Space seemed to lose its meaning before his eyes; everything within a thousand miles was within his sight!
This is one of the results of his continuous development of the Eye of Space, and it can be described as a genuine long-range vision!

He saw the large white crane in the sky again, and a figure soaring through the air.

He appeared to be human, wearing a wide robe of golden sun and cloud brocade. The hem of the robe hung down and danced in the wind, as if flowing clouds were falling from it, stretching for thousands of feet.

Wearing a lotus crown, holding a jade ruyi in his left hand, and a beam of heavenly light in his right hand, it was an extraordinary sword.

The figure was tall and handsome, with a few faint makeup marks on his forehead, radiating mysterious and unpredictable energy fluctuations.

This person's overall appearance and even his style of painting are so unique.

The first thing that came to Song Changming's mind when he saw this person was that he was an immortal!
If this isn't an immortal, then who could be more like an immortal descended from heaven!
Not to mention, being able to soar above the clouds is something he really can't imagine anyone other than immortals; how could an ordinary human possibly do it?

The terrifying gravity of heaven and earth seemed to be non-existent on this immortal.

Even the large white crane, when it flew to that person's side, inexplicably felt ethereal and became a celestial crane.

Song Changming noticed that the immortal was looking down at something, and his gaze followed.

Below the clouds, a colossal figure thousands of feet tall stood atop the plateau—the very same giant they had seen before!

However, in terms of appearance, the giant's hair was not very thick; he only had a head of wild, fiery long hair.

He was also carrying a giant tooth club, made of some unknown material. It wasn't very refined, but it was incredibly imposing.

Song Changming also noticed a deep red bloodstain on the giant's chest, from which the giant's blood was gushing out.
