Chapter 592: Entering the Sky Lightning Sea Region
The Life and Death Master, one of the Eight Ancient Masters, was the Ancestor of the Immortal Sage Whale Clan. After she was severely injured and fell, the clan buried her remains in the deepest part of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
A hundred years ago, however, the Immortal Sage Whale Clan discovered a black-and-white glowing egg in the tomb. Moreover, the body of their ancestor had also disappeared along with the Life Death Ancestral Symbol.
Mu Lingshan was that Life Death Ancestral Symbol.
Each Ancestral Symbol possessed a spirit, but none had ever appeared in human form. Even Mu Lingshan herself did not know that she was the Life Death Ancestral Symbol.
The current Mu Lingshan possessed the body of the Immortal Sage Whale Clan while being the Life Death Ancestral Symbol at the same time. This kind of mutation was extremely rare and fascinating.
Xiao Ming found this state particularly interesting.
"Hehe, actually, I sneaked out after I saw Big Brother at the Sky Merchant Auction!" Mu Lingshan sheepishly fiddled with her pigtails.
"Sneaked out! Your family must be worried. It's very dangerous outside," Qing Tan said with concern.
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as I'm with Big Brother, I'll be safe."
Mu Lingshan let out a soft hum and then looked at Xiao Ming, blinking her big eyes, "Big Brother, you're not going to chase me away, are you?"
Xiao Ming's gaze turned to the three girls at the table. All three of them were budding beauties, pleasing to the eye. However, it was still somewhat inconvenient to have so many young ladies following him.
However, when he looked into Mu Lingshan's big, sparkling eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. He smiled and said, "Of course not, but if I need to borrow anything from you in the future, you can't say no."
"Aye, Lingshan won't refuse Big Brother," Mu Lingshan seemed to have a great fondness for Xiao Ming. She nodded her small head eagerly without a moment's thought, leaving the two girls beside her astonished.
The two girls wondered at the same time, 'This little girl doesn't have an ulterior motive, does she?'
...
Three days later, the Sky Merchant Auction came to an end. Xiao Ming casually helped Mu Lingshan catch a powerful Sea Guarding Mysterious Whale to use as a mount and, with the three girls, left the Sky Merchant Sea Area and headed towards the Sky Lightning Sea Region.
During their journey, perhaps because the Sea Guarding Mysterious Whale they captured was far too eye-catching, it attracted a lot of attention. Such a sea beast was usually extremely valuable. If it was captured and sold in an auction, the price it fetched would not be any less than a Pure Yuan treasure.
Because of this, their journey naturally attracted the attention of some pirate groups. These pirates actively killed and robbed people on the sea all year round, and every one of them was an extremely ruthless individual. Some of them even had some notoriety throughout the entire Chaotic Demon Sea.
Their eyes undoubtedly turned blood red with greed when they saw a Sea Guarding Mysterious Whale carrying only four people appearing before them.
However, these so-called vicious pirates had undoubtedly kicked a metal plate that was extremely hard this time. All of those who rushed out with murderous expressions on their faces and brandished their blades were swept directly to the bottom of the sea in the next second, never to surface again... Only a few were left behind to be used to hone the skills of the Ying Huanhuan trio.
Of course, these spared pirates couldn't escape the fate of death in the end.
The Sky Lightning Sea Region was located deep in the Chaotic Demon Sea. It was a special sea area that was rumored to contain the cave dwelling of a Reincarnation Stage Practitioner, and for many years, it had attracted many strong practitioners to explore it.
Rumble
Above the mirror-like azure sea, a giant whale approached from afar. Its splashing sound clearly echoed over the surface of the sea.
Xiao Ming opened his eyes and looked into the distance, where the sea suddenly turned from azure to pitch black. The sky there was shrouded in endless black thunderclouds, with lightning bolts flashing around resembling roaming dragons, accompanied by the deep rumble of thunder that echoed far and wide.
"Ha ha ha! We've finally arrived! These past few days have been so boring!"
Mu Lingshan next to him immediately took a deep breath after looking at the distant horizon. Then she put her hands on her waist and laughed heartily. Her clear, bell-like laugh was a bit comical no matter how one heard it.
Ying Huanhuan looked at Mu Lingshan who had become lively all of a sudden. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. The three girls had become quite familiar with each other after spending these days together.
"Master, there are so many people around here," Qing Tan's big eyes looked around and couldn't help but say.
At this moment, a rushing wind sound appeared from time to time in the outer area of this Sky Lightning Sea Region, as numerous light rays shot past in the sky. Evidently, there was no shortage of people flowing in and out of the Sky Lightning Sea Region.
"The unique environment of the Sky Lightning Sea Region easily attracts practitioners with special techniques, and it also produces lightning-related natural treasures. Coupled with the rumors of the Reincarnation Stage Practitioner's cave dwelling, it's normal for people to come and explore here from time to time."
The trio nodded understandingly.
"Let's get going. It's no longer convenient to ride on this Sea Guarding Mysterious Whale," As he spoke, Xiao Ming stood up and moved to envelop the three girls in a flash of light. After that, they transformed into a multicolored streak and shot off the back of the whale, heading deep into the Sky Lightning Sea Region.
As they flew out, the eyes of many people were drawn to them. When they saw the Sea Guarding Mysterious Whale that had been released, some people were delighted and wanted to capture it. However, the whale immediately dove deep and escaped.
Rumble!
Low and deep peals of berserk thunder rang out continuously from the endless thunderclouds in the sky. The thunderous sound was akin to the wrath of heaven, quite dreadful and terrifying.
From time to time, lightning would burst out of the thunderclouds in an extremely berserk manner, viciously blasting the surface of the sea below. As the resulting explosion caused towering waves to rise, silver lightning spread across the surface of the sea, while piercing crackling sounds echoed incessantly.
Xiao Ming and his group flew over at a tremendous speed beneath the thunderclouds that covered the sky. The thunderclouds around them soon turned pitch-black, with every patch of sky filled with swirling clouds. Silvery lightning liquid mixed with destructive energy rained down from the sky like a waterfall.
From a distance, it looked like countless huge holes had been torn open in that section of the sky. Meanwhile, waterfalls of lightning liquid were pouring out of them. It was a spectacular sight. However, it was only when one was trapped within that one could feel how terrifying it was.
Passing through one stormy area after another was no challenge for the group.
After passing through all the thunderstorm areas, they approached a region where the thunderclouds in the sky had changed from their original pitch-black color to a bright and resplendent silver. One after another, lightning bolts pierced through them before seemingly plunging into the depths of the sea.
At the most central position, amidst a colossal lightning bolt, a gigantic cave dwelling was faintly visible.
"Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling!"
Xiao Ming looked up in the direction of the Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling, which could be faintly seen within the colossal lightning bolt. Then, he unleashed a punch that caused the surrounding lightning bolts to surge upwards!
Boom...
Amidst a thunderous roar, the Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling within the immense lightning bolt was forcefully held in place. A massive, heavy stone door, about a thousand meters in size, slowly opened under the illumination of the lightning bolts. An ancient and desolate fluctuation, akin to a tidal wave, immediately surged out of it.
