Qin Xuan suddenly understood, no wonder the people of the Star Gate knew where the Origin Heavenly Bone was.
"Can Kunpeng die? Normally, a Taihuang Nine Fiends like Kunpeng shouldn't die so easily, right?" Qin Xuan asked in confusion.
In his opinion, Kunpeng shouldn't die so easily under normal circumstances.
"Kunpeng and the Giant Race were likely injured before their battle, and the fight with the Giant Race worsened their injuries. Moreover, it was already the end of the Great Wilderness Era, and Kunpeng's Qi and blood were weak, greatly diminishing his strength."
"Then, according to our sect's divination, Kunpeng encountered a great terror in the Kun Peng Nest, which led to his demise, leaving only the Origin Heavenly Bone."
"Can't the Star Gate even deduce what that great terror was?" Qin Xuan asked with a frown.
Through what he had learned these past few days, he had some understanding of the Star Gate's divination abilities.
The Star Gate was not simple; their strength in divination and prediction was terrifying.
"It's not that the Star Gate is unwilling to divine, but simply unable to do so."
Saying this, Qianqian shook her head.
"Unable to do so?"
"Yes, that great terror is connected to a great crisis. Our sect once had a Sect Master who tried to peek at the Heavenly Dao, but just the thought caused his turtle shells to shatter and beast bones to turn to ash!"
"This Sect Master even died on the spot, bleeding from all seven orifices!" Qianqian said, looking at Qin Xuan with a serious expression.
"Young Master, the horror here is not simple; it's best not to easily pry into what lies behind it."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan remained silent and nodded.
"Forget it, our goal is the Kun Peng Nest. As for what happened here, it has nothing to do with us."
Qin Xuan shook his head, took a deep breath, and urged the Cloud Boat forward.
However, with a shadow in his heart, Qin Xuan carefully avoided this area throughout the journey.
"It should be this direction!" After bypassing the sea area where the giant's palm print was located, Qin Xuan confirmed the direction and controlled the Cloud Boat to fly towards the Kun Peng Nest.
Looking back at the increasingly distant land, Qin Xuan took a deep breath.
Leaving the land, the path ahead was now entirely ocean.
Above the sea was the Human Race's domain, while underwater was the world of sea beasts.
That place was no longer under the control of the Human Race.
"I have a wind-fixing pearl here. The wind-fixing pearl can not only stop strong winds but also protect the Cloud Boat," Qianqian said, taking out a white pearl.
Mist swirled around the pearl, obscuring its exact appearance.
"A wind-fixing pearl?" Qin Xuan was startled and raised his eyebrows.
He didn't want to use the other party's things.
However, the other party was so frank, so presumably, there should be no tricks with this item.
Upon receiving the wind-fixing pearl, the Origin Pearl within Qin Xuan's body immediately vibrated.
The Origin Pearl was naturally compatible with wind and lightning, so it immediately resonated with this wind-fixing pearl.
"No tricks!" Qin Xuan smiled slightly and raised his hand to activate the wind-fixing pearl.
The wind-fixing pearl spiraled upwards, flying directly above the Cloud Boat.
In an instant, the slight wind sounds that had appeared around the Cloud Boat immediately quieted down.
"Good, it's indeed a good item." Qin Xuan nodded.
This woman probably had quite a few good items on her.
"As long as Young Master finds it useful; this pearl is just a small trinket," Qianqian said with a beaming smile, her face full of joy.
"Let's go. After crossing this sea area, the Kun Peng Nest is about ten thousand li further. I imagine the area above this sea has already been controlled by people from those major forces," Qin Xuan said, then accelerated the Cloud Boat.
With the wind-fixing pearl, under Qin Xuan's manipulation, a faint golden light appeared on the Cloud Boat, protecting the entire Cloud Boat.
In addition to this, Qin Xuan also used the wind-fixing pearl to control the wind direction, making the wind blow in the direction the Cloud Boat was moving. This further increased the Cloud Boat's speed.
For the next half-day, the sea remained calm, but as night approached, the winds and waves on the sea began to grow stronger.
In mid-air, the wind also began to become more violent.
However, with the wind-fixing pearl in place, these winds would calm down as soon as they approached the Cloud Boat, directly being manipulated by the wind-fixing pearl to become the propulsion for the Cloud Boat's advancement.
Although this was good for the Cloud Boat's progress, Qin Xuan, standing on the Cloud Boat's deck, frowned.
"Han Lao, something's not right!" Qin Xuan smacked his lips, looking at the sky.
Night was approaching, and the crescent moon in the sky had just risen when it was obscured by the increasingly dense and thick clouds around it.
At the same time, as the strong winds blew, the waves on the sea also grew higher and higher.
"The winds and waves are getting stronger. It seems we must have entered the Wu Ji Sea near the Kun Peng Nest."
The Wu Ji Sea, a place of perpetual unrest, where winds and waves constantly surged, hence its name.
Looking at the winds and waves below, Qin Xuan exhaled.
"It seems this place won't be easy to pass through!" Just then, a silver lightning bolt streaked across the night sky.
Qin Xuan quickly looked up.
"Boom!" After the lightning flashed, a huge sound spread all around.
"What's going on?" Looking at the lightning in the sky, Qin Xuan's expression flickered between light and shadow.
"Have we entered the Wu Ji Sea?" Qin Xuan looked at Qianqian, and a flicker of hesitation crossed Qianqian's face.
"This... it shouldn't be!"
"Calculating the time and distance, we shouldn't have reached the Wu Ji Sea yet, but this..." When they came, Qianqian had learned about the Kun Peng Nest and the nearby Wu Ji Sea; it shouldn't have been this fast.
However, from the current situation, it seemed they were already near the Wu Ji Sea.
"Did I calculate wrong? But that shouldn't be!" Qianqian muttered to herself.
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"The Wu Ji Sea should have many sea beasts, which is why the winds and waves are constant, right?" Qin Xuan asked Qianqian, staring thoughtfully ahead.
"Yes, many sea beasts can spew clouds and mist, summon wind and rain, which is why the Wu Ji Sea has towering winds and waves. But this place should be far from the Wu Ji Sea, so how can there be such high winds and waves?" Qianqian was puzzled. Qin Xuan looked up at the lightning, then down at the ocean, and sighed.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because these sea beasts have moved from their original location in the Wu Ji Sea to this vicinity, causing this situation."
"The Wu Ji Sea became the Wu Ji Sea because of the chaos caused by sea beasts. Similarly, once these sea beasts move from their original location or expand their range of activity, other places will naturally be affected."
Hearing this, Qianqian's expression changed.
"That means the Wu Ji Sea has expanded from near the Kun Peng Nest to here."
"It's the range of sea beast activity that has expanded to here," Qin Xuan corrected, looking at the surrounding waves, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
The winds and waves here were simply too strong.
"There's likely one or even several sea beasts causing trouble nearby."
The situation might not be good.
