Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 677 Penglai Sea Area! (Two Chapters Combined)

The surrounding water rippled, and one by one, small turtles poked their heads out and followed suit, climbing onto the nearby charred rocks to dry their skin. This attracted many flocks of birds from the sky.

Their target was not the large old turtle, but the slow-moving, still immature little turtles.

However, due to the old tortoise's intimidating presence, most birds dared not make a move.

After a moment's hesitation, a few birds finally mustered their courage and swooped down, aiming at the few small turtles furthest from the old turtle.

"Are you all blind? You even dare to plot against my descendants!" The old tortoise raised its head and began to hurl profanities.

Immediately afterwards, the old turtle slapped the water's surface with its front paw, and a stream of water immediately surged out from the water beside it.

The water surged into the air, instantly submerging the birds that had landed, causing them to burst into a frothy spray.

Meanwhile, the little turtles swarmed forward, greedily devouring the fallen bits of meat, completely unconcerned about the attacks from the flock of birds above.

After all, they have the protection of an old tortoise from their ancestors, so they are very safe.

The old tortoise snorted and was about to close its eyes to continue dozing when suddenly an unusual gust of wind swept by.

Before it could react, it saw a figure appear in front of it.

"mortal?"

The old tortoise blinked its large, dark eyes, confirming that the person in front of it had no immortal aura and was just a mortal, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Boy, you just show up in front of me like this, are you trying to bring me food?" the old tortoise said in a muffled voice, his tone unfriendly.

"Old turtle, I need your help to find a way and ask you something." Seeing that the old turtle had become intelligent, Song Changming did not resort to violence or anger, but simply asked the question.

"Hmph, if I had to answer every question that came to me, wouldn't I be too busy?" the old tortoise said, pursing his lips.

If it were any other spirit or monster that visited, it might not have been so cold-hearted. After all, it was only a one-time encounter, and who knows what kind of background the other party might have?

If it's not some major secret, forming a good connection is fine.

However, as everyone knows, the mortals of the original continent have never had any real foundation.

If one does not become an immortal, one is merely a lowly being on the primordial continent, no different from rats and ants, so why should it care so much?

In its view, the fact that it didn't swallow the other party whole was already a sign of its kindness.

"Leave quickly, lest you keep this old man from sunbathing," the old tortoise urged.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming raised his eyebrows and swiftly grabbed the pointed protrusion on the old turtle's head.

He knew that if he didn't show his skills, the other party wouldn't be able to follow his lead.

The next moment, the old tortoise soared into the air, and the world spun around it.

Its weight of hundreds of thousands of kilograms was like a light cotton ball, which Song Changming tossed directly onto the beach with one hand.

The little turtles nearby were also startled and quickly dove underwater to hide.

Just kidding, their own ancestors were blown away in one go, how could they dare to do anything?

Song Changming leaped and landed on the old tortoise's upturned belly, his feet sinking so heavily that most of the tortoise's body sank into the sand, making it difficult for it to escape.

"Will you talk now?" Song Changming asked.

"I told you, I told you, I've told you everything." The old tortoise cried out in pain and immediately gave in.

There are few truly formidable characters among ordinary people, but Song Changming is definitely a rare and ruthless one.

The outburst of over three thousand dragon powers was truly overwhelming for it.

"Let me ask you, where is this place? Does this sea have a name?" Song Changming asked directly.

"This place is called Penglai Sea, which is connected to Qinghai Lake to the west, and together they are called Twin Seas," the old turtle truthfully explained.

Once the name Penglai Sea was revealed, there was no more suspense.

Song Changming's eyes lit up; he had found the right place!
Therefore, all the hardships along the way were worthwhile.

"But the sea where the sun fell?" Song Changming asked again to confirm.

"Yes, yes, there is such a legend." The old tortoise nodded, its thick limbs swaying a few times in mid-air, trying to flip over.

Unfortunately, Song Changming kept pressing down on it, making it even heavier than a mountain pressing down on it, leaving it helpless.

"Brother, please let me flip over since I've been so cooperative. It's so uncomfortable," the old turtle pleaded in a gentle voice.

Song Changming glanced at it, agreed to its request, and got off it.

"Is this legend true?" Song Changming continued to ask.

“It must be fake. If the sun really had fallen into this sea, the water here would have dried up long ago, and it would be as hot as a furnace. There wouldn’t be this scene now,” the old turtle said.

It simply doesn't believe this bizarre rumor.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming didn't waste any more words on the rumor and asked directly again.

"Do immortal fruits grow on the Penglai Sea?"

"Immortal Fruit? Never heard of it." The old tortoise finally understood why this powerful mortal had come.

However, it had never heard of the existence of the Immortal Fruit.

If there were truly immortal fruits growing in this sea area, it would have rushed to seize them long ago if it knew, instead of waiting for an outsider like Song Changming to ask.

It found it amusing, thinking that this mortal was delusional and had probably heard some unfounded rumors, which was why he had traveled all this way to find this place.

"Master, why not hand him over to me for a thorough interrogation?" Tang Ke, who had just arrived, suggested after hearing the situation.

In the matter of the immortal fruit, Tang Kecha didn't care about the other party's background or how powerful their connections were.

As long as the immortal fruit can be found, any consequences are acceptable.

Even without torturing him, he wouldn't believe that the old turtle hadn't hidden anything.

“It shouldn’t be lying to us.” Fran’s eyes were veiled in a white light, as if she could see through people’s hearts, as she stared at the old tortoise and said.

Her senses were sharp enough to tell whether the old tortoise was lying.

Song Changming can do the same; even without using the Binding God Seal, it would be difficult for anyone to deceive him.

The old tortoise was indeed unaware of the existence of the immortal fruit, so they would have to find it themselves.

Fortunately, we finally found Penglai Sea, and now we can proceed with our plans gradually.

“Tell me more about what you know about this Penglai Sea,” Song Changming continued.

The old tortoise was quite accommodating, not hiding anything from this madman. As long as its tortoise life could be preserved, its nine thousand years of cultivation would be negotiable.

"The Penglai Sea is more than half the size of Qinghai. It is divided into four major sea areas: east, west, south, and north. It stretches about eight million li from east to west and only one million li from south to north. In the South Sea, there is a mermaid who has become an immortal; in the West Sea, there is an old dragon that was driven out of Qinghai; and in the North Sea, there is a rootless water demon."

The old turtle recounted everything it knew in detail, which may not be entirely accurate, but it was certainly its understanding of the situation in the Penglai Sea area.

Just as there can't be only one merman in the South China Sea, the same is true for the West Sea and the North Sea.

"The East China Sea has the widest waters and the best climate, with no wind or waves, and a peaceful atmosphere. It is said that a peach blossom fairy resides there, which is why the East China Sea is like spring all year round."

"East Sea, Peach Blossom Fairy." As Song Changming listened, he felt that this so-called Peach Blossom Fairy was the most abrupt. The other three sea areas mentioned by the old turtle were all inhabited by water monsters, but the arrival of a Peach Blossom Fairy in the East Sea seemed rather strange.

"Is Peach Blossom Fairy a peach blossom that has become a spirit?" Song Changming couldn't help but ask.

“Exactly,” the old tortoise said with certainty.

"But how did these peach blossoms on the ground end up ruling the sea?"

"If you have the ability, you can go anywhere. This Peach Blossom Fairy is very capable. At least in this sea area, no one dares to provoke her."

The old tortoise started talking nonstop.

"Back then, the Dragon Palace of Qinghai led hundreds of millions of shrimp soldiers and crab generals across the border, wanting to conquer Penglai Sea. From then on, the two seas were united and became Qinghai."

However, it was only after encountering this Peach Blossom Fairy that the Dragon Palace of Qinghai withdrew its troops. It can be said that without this Peach Blossom Fairy, there would be no Penglai and the Four Seas as we know them today.

The old tortoise clearly held Peach Blossom Fairy in high esteem, praising her exceptional abilities.

A few people and a turtle were on the beach, asking questions and answering them, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Kecha and the other two exchanged glances, having asked everything they wanted to ask and could ask.

He recounted everything the old tortoise knew in great detail, and even fabricated numerous rumors about things he didn't know.

Believe it or not, this old turtle, once it started talking, has quite a strong desire to confide in others.

As the conversation progressed, it spontaneously shared many interesting and unusual stories it knew, without the need for further questioning from the group.

Its age is as high as nine thousand years. Such longevity below the level of immortals is rare in the dangerous primordial continent, so naturally many people know about it.

"Alright, that's enough for now." Song Changming stood up, brushed the sand off his clothes, and said.

"Are you leaving already? Won't you chat a little longer?" The old tortoise seemed a little reluctant to see them end their conversation.

Most of its tortoise offspring and grandchildren can hardly even speak. Even if they can speak, they shrink their necks and call it "ancestor" repeatedly, obediently following orders.

To be honest, he doesn't have anyone around him with whom he can really have a casual chat.

No wonder it was able to chat so enthusiastically with these four people today, completely forgetting the humiliation of being forced into this situation.

"That's enough. I've asked everything I needed to ask, so I won't bother you any longer while you're sunbathing," Song Changming said with a faint smile.

Of all the native creatures encountered after arriving on the primordial continent, this old tortoise was the most benign.

"That's fine then, young friend. If you really want to find immortal fruits in this sea, you might as well go to the East Sea. If you ask where the immortal fruits are most likely to grow, I think the East Sea is the most likely place."

The old tortoise added one last thing, offering advice based entirely on his intuition and without any basis.

“I will.” Song Changming nodded.

After that, there was no need for the four of them to continue wandering around the beach. Tang Kecha raised his iron folding fan and carried the four of them along the sea.

"Master, where should we go first?"

"Let's go to the East China Sea first," Song Changming said directly.

As a 'local,' the old turtle's advice is naturally valuable, even if it's just some unfounded speculation.

On the other hand, Song Changming also felt that the Peach Blossom Fairy was the most mysterious. No matter how you look at it, the East Sea where she was located was indeed the most likely place to have fairy fruits.

Fran said with some concern, "We don't know if that Peach Blossom Fairy is vicious. What if she discovers our purpose?"

Her concerns are valid.

Because Peach Blossom Fairy was so mysterious, even the old tortoise couldn't figure out her temperament.

If it were a vicious monster, there's no guarantee it wouldn't kill them.

The fact that the other party's title included the word "immortal," coupled with the various rumors mentioned by the old tortoise, makes it easy to conclude that the other party must have already become an immortal and possesses great strength.

If they truly harbored murderous intent towards them, including Song Changming, they would likely all face certain death.

"We can't worry about that now. We absolutely have to go to the East China Sea, and the other three sea areas are just as dangerous," Tang Kecha said in a deep voice.

He had already realized that he would never be able to obtain the immortal fruit without taking the risk.

Upon hearing this, Fran could say nothing more. She felt utterly exhausted, realizing that every step she took on this primordial continent was incredibly perilous.

Back then, in her own little world, she was a saint revered by millions, wielding sacred arts, and living a very comfortable life.

However, now, for the sake of the elusive goal of becoming an immortal, she has given up everything she once had and come to this unfamiliar world to start all over again.

This time, the possibility of her standing at the pinnacle of the primordial continent again, being worshipped and revered, is extremely low.

Along the way, she had asked herself these questions countless times.

Is it really possible?

Is it really possible for them to obtain the immortal fruit, and for her to truly hope to become an immortal in the future?
The sea breeze caressed her face, her eyes were filled with confusion, and her inner will had already wavered on this vast sea.

Just as her thoughts were wandering and she was lost in thought, something suddenly flew out from the seabed.

It's a black scaled creature with a long sword on its head!

After Black Scale flew out of the water, it was extremely fast. It not only caught up with Iron Folding Fan, but the sharp spikes on its head, which resembled long swords, pierced straight at the distracted Fran.

Song Changming, who had been sitting cross-legged refining the giant's flesh and blood, frowned and suddenly opened his eyes.

During his cultivation, Fran was the alarm radar among them, responsible for keeping watch.

However, Fran's distraction caused the alarm to temporarily malfunction, so much so that she didn't even notice the black-scaled creature getting close.

Before she could react, the spikes on the black-scaled creature's head had already pierced Fran through.

She actually had several protective items on her body, but the light shield she generated was no match for the black scale's thrust.

This leaping strike from the water is their most powerful killing move, etched into their very blood, making them invincible in predation and hunting.

Most of his skills and abilities depended on this one strike.

Fran's face turned deathly pale instantly, she coughed up blood and her breath dropped sharply.

"Watch out!" Tang Kecha's warning finally came down.

Biyougen was the closest, but he couldn't grab Fran in time. He watched as Fran was about to be dragged into the sea by the black scales.

With a loud snort, Song Changming stopped his cultivation and glared.

Twisted light spots floated in the eye sockets. The Eye of Space was activated, instantly freezing the black scale along with Fran on the sea surface, preventing them from escaping.

Then, Song Changming grabbed her with his large hand, and the power of a grandmaster transformed into a tangible hand, snatching Fulan back.

Then he drew his sword, and the God-Devouring Blade flew straight out, aimed directly at the attacking black scale.

The solidified space dissipated, and Black Scale flicked its tail, its spikes slamming into the unavoidable God-Devouring Blade.

clang!
With a loud bang, a powerful golden blade aura, like a surge of golden sand, burst forth and swept towards the black scale in front of it.
