Chapter 1839 - 1835: Each with Their Own Intentions
"It’s hard to rest easy without figuring out what kind of tricks the Demon Clan is up to, but we can’t risk everyone’s lives. If there’s something we can’t handle, we’ll retreat," Shen Luo hesitated briefly before saying:
Yuan Qiu was one thing, but now Nie Caizhu was also in the team, leaving Shen Luo no choice but to treat the situation with caution.
"I have a question, Beiming Kun... Just by its name, we can tell it should reside in the Northern Dark Lands. Why has it come to the East Sea Abyss?" Nie Caizhu wondered.
"According to legends, every ten thousand years, Beiming Kun needs to undergo a transformation that requires an enormous amount of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi to replenish its consumption. So it probably came here to seize the East Sea’s source to help complete its transformation," Ao Hong replied.
"In that case, won’t the East Sea be stripped of its vast spiritual energy, leading to severe damage?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
"No one has witnessed its transformation; if the East Sea just suffers some vitality loss, that would be a small matter. The real fear is it might drain the Eastern Sea spiritual veins like a Bottomless Pit. If the entire East Sea exhausts its spiritual veins, the source of sea water would run dry, and the creatures in the water would likely perish massively, while the rest would just barely cling to life until the East Sea perishes with them," Ao Hong continued.
"Could it really be that serious?" Shen Luo found it hard to believe.
"During the transformation process, Beiming Kun needs to maintain a mini-world from collapsing, requiring an immense amount of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi. Just think about it. Of course, it might not be as severe as I said, but regardless, it would be a disaster for the East Sea," Ao Hong shook his head and sighed.

After speaking, everyone dove into the water, exploring deeper into the sea floor.
