Chapter 54 Powerful and Reliable

The old vine lying on the ground was more than two feet long. Although it looked somewhat withered and yellow, far less beautiful than its branches and leaves, it actually contained medicinal power accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.

"Sizzle."

Without much hesitation, Qi Zhe reached out and uprooted the old vine, stuffing the entire vine into a jade bottle in an instant.

Watching Qi Zhe's swift movements, and as the old vine disappeared from sight, Nangong Xin couldn't help but feel a pang of loss, saying, "A medicinal king that's over ten thousand years old—it might not appear even once every few thousand years in the Eastern Wilderness."

Then he suddenly said, "Brother, now that you've obtained the precious medicine, why don't you return the Heavenly Star Fruit to me?"

With a face full of anticipation, Nangong Xin thought that Qi Zhe might be so happy to have obtained such a treasure that he would return the Heavenly Star Fruit to him.

"Ha!" Qi Zhe rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said directly, "Now that it's in my hands, there's no reason for me to send it back. You might as well give up on that idea!"

Qi Zhe then ignored the other party and began to ponder how to get out of this strange space, gazing thoughtfully at the space above the mountain peak.

"Ah...ah..." Seeing Qi Zhe's dismissive attitude, Nangong Xin's expression became dejected. He then lay down on the edge of the mountaintop and screamed at the golden ocean.

Just as Nangong Xin shouted, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the sea surface, like a strange fish leaping out of the water, only to return to the sea in an instant.

"Awooo!!!" Nangong Xin saw it clearly and was so frightened by the dark figure that he screamed incoherently, which made Qi Zhe frown and curse angrily: "If you scream again, believe me, I'll throw you down!"

Nangong Xin was clearly terrified. He turned his head and pointed at the sea, facing Qi Zhe. His mental state, which had been improving, became somewhat deranged again.

"I went and came back again?" Qi Zhe frowned in surprise at Nangong Xin's behavior and couldn't help but walk to the edge of the platform and look down at the sea.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Qi Zhe peered out, another huge wave surged on the sea surface, and suddenly a massive black shadow leaped out of the water once more. Qi Zhe saw it clearly and couldn't help but exclaim, "Stone Fish?"

He had seen it clearly just now and was certain that the dark shape was fish-like, like a black carp. But what truly shocked Qi Zhe was that it was not made of flesh and blood; its entire body was bluish-black, resembling a stone.

Moreover, it wasn't as big as imagined; the so-called giant black shadow was actually endless, strange Dao patterns leaping out of the sea along with it, only to be pulled back down below the surface.

"This is strange!" Qi Zhe's expression turned solemn. He could sense a dangerous aura from the stone fish. If it weren't for the Dao patterns binding it, the fish might have been able to leap to the top of the mountain.

At that moment, he knew that the dark shadow he had seen on the seabed was this stone fish, which might be the only dangerous thing in this vast ocean.

Hearing Qi Zhe's words, Nangong Xin finally regained his senses and said with a trembling body, "There are no stone fish in the world. Maybe it's a Holy Spirit."

"Regardless of whether it's the Holy Spirit or not, leaving this place is the right thing to do. I already have a bad feeling!" Qi Zhe's expression was quite solemn.

He had already sensed something was wrong and knew that the strange Dao patterns might have been left by the former holy body, but after so many years, they probably wouldn't be able to trap the stone fish for long.

If we can't find a way to leave now, we might run into serious problems soon.

"Whoosh!"

The terrifying roar of waves echoed continuously from the sea. The stone fish kept bursting out of the water as Nangong Xin watched in fear, as if it wanted to leap towards the mountaintop, making Nangong Xin tremble with terror.

"This thing wants to eat us both!" Nangong Xin said to Qi Zhe in a trembling voice, which made Qi Zhe speechless. "You're overthinking it. It didn't make a move at the bottom of the sea. Now it just didn't expect us to reach the top of the mountain. Perhaps it's interested in a spiritual herb!"

Qi Zhe had already guessed that the fish looked down on them, but after Nangong Xin shouted on the mountain and startled it, the fish kept trying to leap to the summit. It was obvious that the spiritual herb was driving it so crazy. "It might really not be able to hold on much longer," Qi Zhe muttered to himself.

"Roar!!!" As the stone fish continued its frenzy, it finally let out its first roar, instantly creating towering waves on the sea surface, with a terrifying power filling the world.

"This kind of power..." Qi Zhe felt immense pressure. He had no idea how to get out and couldn't help but think of hiding inside the mountain.

But at that moment, Qi Zhe noticed that stars began to quietly appear in the space above the mountain peak, and soon they filled the entire sky. He suddenly exclaimed, "This fish is actually drawing starlight from beyond the world!"

"Roar! Roar!" Streams of starlight converged into a waterfall hanging down from the sky. The stone fish simply opened its mouth and swallowed all the starlight. Its arrogance was even greater than before as it roared.

Qi Zhe stared at the stone fish on the sea with a grim expression, feeling that this creature was truly strange and beyond the control of ordinary people.

But then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a crack in the sky above. It was ethereal and constantly filled with wisps of starlight. If it weren't for the appearance of this starlight, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Upon seeing this, Qi Zhe exclaimed, "Heaven has not forsaken me!"

Before Nangong Xin could react, Qi Zhe grabbed his arm and rushed towards the sky. In less than ten feet, he approached the rift, causing the stone fish to suddenly roar wildly.

"Roar!!!" Giant waves swept across the sky and even crashed onto the mountaintops, their power many times greater than before.

"Farewell forever!" Qi Zhe looked down at the stone fish on the sea surface, and before he finished speaking, he rushed into the crevice.

At this moment, Qi Zhe felt extremely dizzy, his body was tumbling in the void, and he couldn't help but open his eyes to look around. Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to be in a starry sky.

"It wasn't like this when we came in," Qi Zhe couldn't help but complain, turning his head to see the stars rushing past behind him.

After being stunned for a long time, Nangong Xin finally came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the receding stars: "What kind of method is this? The Sacred Body Ancient Tomb is not in the Eastern Wilderness after all, but was actually hidden in the starry sky!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe also understood. The former Holy Body was like the Demon Emperor. After his death, the tomb was separated from the Big Dipper by his methods.

"It is indeed a heaven-defying divine power." Qi Zhesheng exclaimed, knowing that the two were probably returning to the star passage of Beidou.

"I'm back!" Before long, a huge star gradually grew larger in front of Qi Zhe. He couldn't help but marvel at the amazing abilities of the Great Perfection Holy Body and the fact that the ancient Big Dipper star before him far exceeded his imagination.

This star was so huge that countless other stars were revolving around it, including a giant sun.

In addition, five enormous continents appeared before him, and a vast expanse of azure ocean filled the area beyond the five continents.

"boom"

As a strange divine rainbow streaked across the night sky, a high mountain tens of thousands of miles away from Tiandu City in the Southern Region was severed by the rainbow. Qi Zhe jumped out of the passage and used his divine power to stop his descent.

He stood in mid-air, looking at the distant southern land, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "They're actually so close! That's really impressive and reliable!"

Not far away, a disheveled figure crawled out from among the rocks. Nangong Xin, covered in dust and dirt, looked at Qi Zhe who was leaving at high speed and couldn't help but call out, "Brother, what is your name?"

"Yes, Ye Fan."

Thank you for your votes, bosses!
