Master of Strange Dao

Not far away, Yu Ziqing could be seen floating in mid-air.

The Cloud Whale nodded in greeting, and after Yu Ziqing returned the gesture, he flew over, placing one hand on the Cloud Whale's forehead, presenting a heap of the Emperor's Liquid as a meeting gift.

The Cloud Whale tried hard to open its small eyes wide and lowered its voice to speak softly.

"So you are the Envoy of the Moon God!"

Yu Ziqing rubbed his buzzing head and sighed inwardly.

"Though I'm quite familiar with the Moon God, I'm not the Envoy of the Moon God."

"I heard you came specifically to find me. If there's something, you can take your time to say it."

"Could you stop speaking aloud? Your sound waves are making my head ache."

The Cloud Whale closed its mouth and transmitted messages directly through mind thoughts.

"Many things, those learned Deans on the Big Island have already told me."

"I also know about the Spirit Transformation Array."

"Only this time, I sensed that the mortal enemy of an Ancient Demon, All Gods, has awakened, and I must find you."

"Are you referring to the Heavenly Devil King or King Jiunian?"

"I don't know its name, but I know it's the mortal enemy of an Ancient Demon, who once led demons in fierce battles against demons."

"It once bewitched some demons and integrated them into demons."

"I can only be sure it's definitely reviving using a demon's body."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't sense any other Ancient Demons awakening, nor would there be an awakened Ancient Demon."

"My ancient bloodline awakened because I was near death, and the place was special."

"And with the influence of the Spirit Transformation Array manifesting, my ancient bloodline could awaken, receiving the inheritance."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziqing furrowed his brows slightly.

"It must be King Jiunian then; do you mean he transformed into a demon? Has a demon's flesh and blood body?"

"It certainly is. This information is from my bloodline inheritance."

"Back then, all gods wanted to suppress the Demon Clan and win the war against them."

"They blocked the way of ancient demon bloodline inheritance, destroyed the bloodline inheritances of True Dragon, True Phoenix, True Qilin, Auspicious Beast."

"The ancient demon's bloodline inheritance has shackles, and the key to open them is with King Jiunian."

"As the price for destroying the ancient demon's bloodline, it has only True Form and not a flesh and blood body."

"Now, for some reason, it has chosen flesh and blood to revive."

"This is equivalent to personally unlocking the ancient shackles."

"The inheritance and information appearing in my bloodline have suddenly increased, with more reviving."

"Only then did I know this inherited information."

"I'm certain it will incur a new war between demons and the Demon Clan to complete its revival."

"It will definitely devour all Ancient Demons with awakened bloodlines, including me."

"Because when it bestowed shackles upon the Ancient Demons' bloodline inheritance, it also received a shackle from them."

"Its True Body is sealed within the Ancient Demons' bloodline inheritance."

"It cannot be allowed to fully restore True Form, True Body, and flesh and blood body."

"Once the three bodies unite, it will surpass its peak power."

Yu Ziqing's brows knitted tightly, feeling this was even more troublesome than expected.

He had already overlooked comparing the strength of a Mountain Lord with the extremely weakened state of King Jiunian.

But apparently, King Jiunian seemed even more troublesome than imagined.

His troublesome nature wasn't merely because under his command was one of the largest demon armies among all gods.

Even at the first level of the Abyss, in the absence of King Jiunian, the rapid increase in the number of demons forced them into mutual slaughter just to control the numbers.

Should King Jiunian unify all demons, the emergence speed might outpace the killing rate.

Even the Mountain Lord said that winning the war back then and dealing with the Heavenly Devil King and King Jiunian was one of the crucial accomplishments.

"How many demons with awakened Ancient Demon bloodlines are there now?"

"Three more, one is in the Extreme North, sleeping."

"One is on land, but seems to have tainted power."

"Another is on the other side of the deep sea, on land."

"The other side of the deep sea..."

Yu Ziqing had long known that crossing the East Sea and continuing eastward, if one could successfully cross that strange deep sea, there was another land.

Also, when facing the Cliff Divine King, who hadn't awakened and was still ruled by a disguise, he saw the full view of the current world.

Surpassing the vastness of land, beyond that distorted ocean, lies another land.

Most of his understanding now comes from the White Sun Holy Mother; she is native to that place.

Yu Ziqing raised his head, gazing at the Black Ship on the Cloud Whale's back.

"Do you know much about that place?"

The High Priest of the Black Ship descended, shook his head after saluting.

"That place...is not quite the same as here, and the people there are also different. We travel through the deep sea, never approaching the near seas of that continent."

"Are there the three Divine Dynasties of Dakun, Daxun, and Dakan there?"

"I've never heard of them, but indeed, there's something similar to the Divine Dynasty over there called the Immovable Immortal Dynasty, I've only heard the name; they never enter the deep sea."

"Truly no such divine dynasties?"

"Haven't heard of them; most of our contact with there is through worship objects. When we wanted to change them, the summoned connections reached several from there, second only to the deep sea."

The High Priest of the Black Ship pondered for a moment, voluntarily offering.

"My lord, do you need to find the demon with the awakened Ancient Demon inheritance as mentioned by Cloud Whale?"

"The Black Ship Saint is willing to explore first, seeing if he can find it."

"Can you safely cross the deep sea?"

"In the deep sea, no one can guarantee absolute safety; however, we've wandered its waters for years and have some capability of self-preservation."

Yu Ziqing deliberated briefly, responding.

"Then just probe for information, no need for any certainty; first ensure your safety."

"Will strictly obey my lord's decree." The High Priest of the Black Ship solemnly saluted.

He had long sought to establish a unique position for the Black Ship Saint.

He finally found an opportunity.

Previously, he barely dared traverse the deep sea, given the chaotic phantoms and strange environments.

To be frank, the prior worshiped red veil couldn't protect them.

Now with tattoos, they're less intimidated by the deep sea's chaotic entities.

Their strength might not stand out in the Four Divine Dynasties, yet, in the deep sea, which is their domain, their tenacity holds better.
