Chapter 596 The Source of the Void Sea

The spacecraft passed through the crystal membrane without any hindrance.

At that moment.

It was as if an invisible force field swept across the entire flying saucer.

It penetrates the body and seeps into every cell.

It even touches the depths of the soul.

As a barrier to the Northern Heavenly Realm, this detection mechanism combines cutting-edge technology with extraordinary power, capable of thoroughly investigating a person's identity from their outward appearance to their inner essence.

However, this kind of thing was of little use to Hu Qi.

Although Hu Qi possessed and devoured Mo Ming's soul, his innate ability, the Twisted Light, was enough to confuse the senses and achieve a perfect disguise.

Unless it's a True Spirit in person, it's impossible to detect his abnormality.

At this moment, as they entered the crystal wall, the sea of ​​clouds before them churned, revealing the scenery of the Northern Heaven Domain.

The scenery there was quite strange.

Below, floating islands.

Each island offers a unique view.

On some islands, countless magnificent palaces and pavilions appear and disappear among the drifting clouds, and flocks of red-crowned cranes perch on their green-tiled roofs and flying eaves.

Above the floating islands, silver-blue light streamed like torrents of data.

The buildings grow out like a cluster of crystals, with holographic neon outlining the constantly reassembling sky bridges.

Ships left particle trails in their tails, and intelligent entities of various shapes darted among them like shooting stars.

There are even islands that are completely upside down, and islands that are horizontal.

People walk among them as if they completely ignore the existence of gravity.

These islands are like independent little worlds.

Colorful light flows between these floating islands.

At this moment, Hu Qi and the others entered.

They went straight to one of the islands.

The entire island can be described as an island of machines, with all sorts of mechanical creations crisscrossing it.

It is also an important airport connecting all parties, where countless aircraft dock and take off.

As the UFO approached the port, the guide lights along the port's edge lit up one by one, forming a luminous path.

These blue light bands pulsed as if they were alive, guiding the flying saucer.

When the flying saucer gently touched the surface of the berth, golden ripples spread out from the point of contact.

Dozens of slender optical cables immediately rose from the berth platform, gently wrapping around the bottom of the flying saucer and emitting a soft humming sound.

After the flying saucer came to a stop, a circular exit opened at the bottom, extending into a glowing walkway that connected directly to the main port building.

Several humanoid figures, shimmering with a faint light, suddenly appeared. Their bodies seemed to be made of light, leaving faint streaks of light in the air as they moved.

These are data life forms.

Hu Qi and his two companions bowed respectfully as they descended from above.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Hu Qi nodded.

The control crystal above the port projected a beam of scanning light, and the silver light screen swept across the entire UFO ship, performing a security check each time.

Afterwards, Hu Qi and two other teammates followed the passage.

Walk towards the hall on one side.

This is where the disciples of Lingyu Mountain submit their missions.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a magnificent, arched, silver hall, filled with a strong futuristic and sci-fi atmosphere.

The interior space of the hall is much more spacious than it appears from the outside, clearly due to the use of advanced spatial folding techniques.

At this moment, the hall was bustling with people, and small groups of three or five could be seen moving about.

Among them were not only humans, but also various other races with different appearances.

The Dog-headed, Human-bodied Dog Clan.

Feathered people with feathered bodies and long necks.

Even a three-headed tribesman with three heads, each with a different expression...

Although their shapes are quite different, most of them maintain a human-like outline.

These were all disciples of Lingyu Mountain. Some were handing over their tasks at the task platform, while others lingered under the light screen, carefully selecting new tasks.

It's worth saying.

Apart from law enforcement disciples like the original owner who have designated patrol areas.

Other disciples can also accept tasks here and obtain certain rewards by completing them.

Hu Qi glanced at it.

Then I saw some tasks on the light screen next to me.

[Mission Reward: 10,000 Prison Points (If feelings beyond friendship develop, a Dual Cultivation Manual will be awarded)]

……

The tasks on it are incredibly varied, and the rewards are also different for each.

Some of the tasks are just too bizarre.

After just one glance.

Hu Qi then looked away.

Then he opened his palm.

In his palm lay a green test tube lying quietly.

There is a person immersed in green liquid inside the test tube.

This person was none other than Wu Tu, the city lord of the Holy City of the Great Wilderness World.

At this moment, this person, after breaking through to the Barbarian Spirit realm, could be considered a top-tier existence standing at the pinnacle of the extraordinary in the Great Wilderness World.

Now it's like a toy, shrunk down and lying inside.

After taking a look.

Hu Qi handed the task to Luo Yu, who was standing to the side, and asked her to go and hand it in.

The twin teammates, the one with long hair is the older sister, named Luo Yu.

The short-haired woman's name is Luo Wei.

Both of them are at the peak of the Apostle level, just one step away from attaining immortality and becoming true gods.

Logically speaking, he should be much stronger than the original Mo Ming.

However, since Mo Ming was able to become the captain, he must have something special about him.

"Young master, we're really lucky this time. We should be able to get a good price for the target!"

Luo Wei, who was standing to the side, reached out and took Hu Qi's arm, and said with a smile.

She was no longer the capable woman she had been before; instead, she was as charming as a girl next door.

"I've told you so many times, when I'm on a mission, you can't call me 'Young Master,' you have to call me by my title."

Hu Qi's eyes flickered slightly; though he felt a little uncomfortable, he did not break free.

He was merely imitating Mo Ming's habit, raising his hand to gently pinch the other's cheek, and correcting him in a low voice.

"Understood, Captain!"

Luo Wei let go of her hand, playfully stuck out her tongue, and even emphasized the words "Captain".

Hu Qi smiled.

Nothing was said.

Luo Yu and Luo Wei are twin sisters.

Although nominally Mo Ming's teammate.

In reality, they were more like his personal maids and guards.

Mo Ming's identity is not simple.

He was the illegitimate son of a Dao Lord realm elder of Lingyu Mountain, ranking as the 5,067th descendant.

There are still hundreds of brothers and sisters behind him.

But after all, his biological father was a Dao Lord.

For beings with such endless lifespans, having thousands of offspring is nothing unusual.

Among them, those with better qualifications are given more attention.

The original owner was only considered average among all his offspring. But even so...

Mo Ming is also the other party's offspring, and even though he is not valued, his treatment is incomparable to that of ordinary disciples.

Luo Yu and Luo Wei were like this; because they had decent aptitude, they were placed under a restriction, and their lives were now in Mo Ming's control.

In a sense, she was already destined to become his second concubine.

"Please be careful, this is not the place for you to flirt!"

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

Look up.

The speaker was a young woman dressed in white, carrying a long sword on her back.

The woman had black hair, but also a pair of pale golden eyes.

His features bear a resemblance to Mo Ming's, with three or four points of similarity.

Having gained Mo Ming's memories, Hu Qi recognized him in an instant.

Mo Ran, the original owner's half-sister.

Ranked 5,901.

She is arguably one of the youngest of her siblings.

However, this ink-stained one's aptitude far surpasses that of the original owner.

Having cultivated for only one-third of the original owner's time, he has already reached the peak of the Apostle level, and is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a True God.

That's why.

This Mo Ran usually acts arrogantly towards his many brothers and sisters.

"Sister 5901, who gave you permission to be so rude? You can't even call me Brother 567 anymore?"

Hu Qi narrowed his eyes and gave a cold laugh.

Mo Ran heard this.

A hint of anger crept onto his fair face.

Geniuses always have their own pride.

She despised her brothers and sisters who were less talented than her.

However, because of her background, many of her brothers and sisters tolerated it as much as possible.

But to his surprise, Mo Ming dared to reprimand him and even brought up seniority.

However, Hu Qi completely ignored her after he finished speaking.

Turning around, he called to Luo Yu, who had just finished submitting his task, and then the three of them turned and left.

"Hmph! Be my brother? You piece of trash don't even deserve it! Wait until I break through to True God, then I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Standing there, watching Hu Qi's departing figure, Mo Ran's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth as he uttered these words.

If it weren't for the fact that fighting wasn't allowed here, she would have definitely shown the other party how powerful she was.

……

"Young Master, you looked very handsome just now, but didn't that displease Miss Mo Ran? Should we go and apologize..."

Three people were walking on the road.

Luo Wei whispered from the side.

She first praised him before offering her advice.

After all, in her view, it was only a matter of time before Mo Ran became a true god.

With their young master's aptitude, it's unclear when he'll become a true god.

Offending them would be unwise.

As for Luo Yu, who was standing to the side, she didn't say anything, unlike her younger sister Luo Wei.

She has a rather aloof personality and rarely interrupts unless necessary.

"It's alright, she's just a little girl, what can she do?!"

Hu Qi remained calm.

Hear the words.

Luo Wei was somewhat surprised.

Even Luo Yu, who had been silent to the side, glanced at Hu Qi in surprise.

However, they ultimately did not continue to try to persuade them.

After all, the other party is their young master, so some things should be left unsaid.

Hu Qi didn't care about their opinions.

While it's necessary to respect the original owner's personality, it shouldn't remain unchanged.

That would be detrimental to his subsequent actions.

……

Soon, he returned to his residence.

He refused their offer to sleep with him.

Hu Qi used his access privileges to look up information about the Void Sea.

The result did not disappoint him.

They soon made some progress.

The Void Sea originates from the bottom of the Ruins of Return, dark and without light, its energy splitting the boundaries of mountains and seas, swallowing the souls of the eight wastelands.

In ancient times, Yu the Great cast a tripod to govern the nine regions, but the turbulent currents surged from the sea gate, eroding the earth's veins and collapsing mountains, causing the clear and turbid to lose their order and the yin and yang to flow in reverse.

Its momentum is like the open mouth of the Dark Abyss, swallowing up the stars.

Its shape resembles the initial splitting of chaos, tearing apart heaven and earth.

Therefore, the "Classic of the Wilderness" states: "Below the Ruins of Return lies a crevice, connecting to the Sea of ​​the Netherworld, breathing in and out the eternal silence of time..."

Hu Qi stared intently at the light screen that appeared before him.

The information contained therein is none other than a record of the origin of the Void Sea.

in short.

This Void Sea originates from the bottom of the Ruins of Return.

Guixu, a very famous name.

There are many rumors about him.

It is itself a vast underwater abyss.
It is the place where all waters converge; all the water from rivers, lakes, and seas in the world, and even the Milky Way in the sky, eventually flow into this place.

The amazing thing is that no matter how much water flows in, the water level of Guixu never increases or decreases, maintaining the balance of water between heaven and earth.

And this Void Sea itself originated from the depths of this Ruins of Return.

The original Guixu was normal.

However, one day, the water level in Guixu began to rise, causing the water that was originally poured into Guixu to gush out of it.

In the beginning.

The water gushing outwards is from all the seas, and the enormous volume of water has submerged most of the mountains and seas.

It even collapsed the legendary Kunlun Heavenly Pillar.

To stop the flood.

At that time, the powerful figures of the Mountain and Sea Realm displayed their supernatural abilities.

Some went to repair and mend the Heavenly Pillar.

Some mended the sky.

Some were blocking and suppressing the Guixu, while others were trying to find ways to control the flood.

Among them, one of the most famous is the legendary King Yu.

To control the floods.

King Yu slew the rebellious beasts and then used the finest copper in the world to forge the Nine Tripods, which were used to suppress the floods.

However, success seemed imminent.

Within the Ruins of Guixu, another type of black water appeared.

This black water is none other than the Void Sea.

The immense power contained within the Void Sea far surpasses that of the previous floods.

It directly tore apart the entire mountain and sea, and even the Nine Cauldrons that King Yu forged could not suppress it; they all shattered in the face of this power.

Countless powerful figures intervened during this period to try to stop it all.

However, it was completely useless.

They could only watch helplessly as the entire Mountain and Sea Realm fell apart.

Fortunately, the surging sea of ​​illusion gradually subsided.

Otherwise, if this continues...

The entire realm of mountains and seas will be completely destroyed, and no living beings will survive.

As for the original Guixu, it was covered by the Void Sea and hidden within it, completely disappearing without a trace.

"The Void Sea... Return to Ruins..."

Hu Qi muttered to himself.

This reminded him of the dark, inky void he had seen before.

The density of that void sea was so high that even just by looking at it, he could sense the ominous aura emanating from it.

Compared to the Void Sea seen in the lower dimensions, the two are completely insignificant, not even on the same level.

Suddenly, at this moment.

The image of the virtual sea deep in Hu Qi's memory that he had seen before underwent other changes at this moment.

Beneath the originally dark and silent sea surface, a strange giant eye slowly emerged.

The moment Hu Qi's gaze met itss, the giant eye solidified rapidly.

Hu Qi felt his head suddenly sink, his five senses vanished, the surrounding scenery distorted and deformed, and the light dimmed rapidly.

Gululu...

The invisible flow of water seemed to surge in from all directions, tightly enveloping him.

It felt like falling into the deep sea in an instant, with a biting cold and a suffocating sense of oppression hitting you.

Beneath their feet, the carpet twisted and transformed into the shape of that giant eye.

At the same time, an indescribable terror suddenly descended.
