Chapter 585 - Right in Front
Zhao Feng bathed in the heart blood essence, motionless as he absorbed it.
In just a short span of three days, he felt that his body and state of existence had both increased.
At this moment, every inch of his body contained a powerful aura, and his senses were sharper.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat leaned on Zhao Feng and absorbed some heart blood essence as well.
Di! Da!
The barrel of heart blood essence was soon completely absorbed.
“So fast?”
Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. A barrel of heart blood essence was enough for the sailors to use for several months, and the skeletal Division Leader’s absorbing speed was only one third of his.
Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed as he looked at the little thieving cat.
Although it was small, at least one half of the heart blood essence was absorbed by it. Furthermore, the little thieving cat would absorb the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm as well.
Shua!
Zhao Feng went into the Ancient Dream Realm once more.
This time, he managed to break his record of lasting ten breaths due to the fact that he had been cleansed by the heart blood essence.
The stronger one’s body, the longer one could last in the Ancient Dream Realm.
Nine breaths… ten breaths… eleven breaths.
Zhao Feng continued to extend his new record.
“What kind of dimension is this? Are there any live beings here?”
Zhao Feng started to think about this world.
Every grain of sand contained immense power, and Zhao Feng used his eyes to inspect the Ancient Dream Realm.
Below his feet was the earth, he could see big trees in the distance, and there seemed to the sounds of birds screeching and a river flowing.
“Could there actually be other beings in here?”
Zhao Feng’s heart shook.
It was hard to imagine how strong any beings in the Ancient Dream Realm would be.
Twelve breaths… thirteen breaths… fifteen breaths.
Wah!
Zhao Feng managed to last fifteen breaths before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Back in the s.h.i.+p:
“I’ve improved a lot.”
Zhao Feng was satisfied as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
He then quickly absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm. In the real world, as he stayed in the Ancient Dream Realm, his body would be filled with its aura.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat excitedly absorbed the Ancient Dream Realm aura as well.
Di! Da!
The human and the cat soaked in heart blood essence and absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm together.
“My state of being and body are strong even compared to normal Sovereigns. They’re actually close to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.”
Zhao Feng took a deep breath.
When he had finished a barrel of the heart blood essence, two of the sailors hadn’t even finished one fifth of their bowl of heart blood essence. However, even then, those sailors’ body and state of existence had improved drastically; because their starting point was low, the heart blood essence had a greater effect on them.
One of the sailors that was at the late-stage True Lord Rank had only used one tenth the amount of heart blood essence that Zhao Feng used, and his state of existence and body were already approaching the peak True Lord Rank.
“If this continues, some of the sailors’ state of existence will be able to reach the half-step Origin Core Realm within a year.”
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but click his tongue.
State of existence wasn’t the same as cultivation; it was considered to be a type of foundation. The stronger one’s foundation, the more potential they would have.
The weaker the state of existence of the user, the greater the effect of something like heart blood essence. On the other hand, if one’s state of existence was already extremely high, such as a peak Great Origin Core Realm, the effect of heart blood essence would be extremely small. And if a Void G.o.d Realm expert used it, there might be no effect at all.
For the next six or seven days, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat used two more barrels of heart blood essence, and they entered the Ancient Dream Realm again as well.
This time, Zhao Feng managed to last twenty breaths.
Looks like my state of existence has increased even more. After I can manage to last a hundred breaths, I’ll try to walk around.
Zhao Feng thought.
Currently, he could just barely manage to stand inside this mysterious dimension. The pressure here made it hard for him to complete any other actions.
He didn’t even dare to try walking yet. It was like a person carrying a large rock; although they might barely manage to hold it, it was very likely that the rock would make them fall if they tried to walk with it.
Therefore, Zhao Feng set a goal for himself. Once he reached the time limit of a hundred breaths, he would try walking around the Ancient Dream Realm.
Sou!
The Blue Lightning Sea Sky s.h.i.+p flew across the limitless ocean.
Ten days had pa.s.sed since they received the heart blood essence. The effect on the sailors exceeded Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. Apart from that, the skeletal Division Leader also absorbed the heart blood essence and the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone, and its strength had also increased dramatically.
“Master, I will probably need to enter seclusion for two or three months to try to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm….”
The skeletal Division Leader’s voice sounded.
Zhao Feng’s heart jumped. He didn’t think that the skeletal Division Leader’s strength had increased by so much that it would try to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm already.
He didn’t try to stop it. In fact, he gave the skeletal Division Leader another barrel of heart blood essence.
“Captain, the s.h.i.+p’s damage has been getting worse, and it’s slowing down after flying for so long.”
Loulan Zhishui reported.
Hearing that, Zhao Feng’s eyebrows furrowed.
The Blue Lightning Sea Sky s.h.i.+p had to be fixed as quickly as possible.
“Luckily, we only need another day or two to reach the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.”
Loulan Zhishui added.
“Void Ocean Spiritual Palace… don’t disappoint me….”
The map of the Thousand Flowing Islands zone appeared in his mind, and there was only one Void Ocean Spiritual Palace in the entire island zone.
The Tianlu Islands zone and the Azure Islands zone, where the Azure Flower Continent was located, also only had one.
The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was marked with a unique symbol, and it was even more important than some islands.
Of course, the most eye-catching part of the Cang Ocean was the three Spiritual Sacred Lands.
“Hmm? These lines…”
Zhao Feng found that a few of the lines on the map intersected with one another. For example, the three Spiritual Sacred Lands all had a line between them, forming a triangle.
Apart from that, there were some unique places that also had these lines.
“True Martial Sacred Land.”
Zhao Feng found that there was a small faint red line with a red cross in the middle located between the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace and the True Martial Sacred Land.
Right as he was inspecting the map, the danger in his heart surged and became much clearer than before. The aura from the Eye of Death within his soul jumped.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
Zhao Feng felt his G.o.d’s Spiritual Eye thump as well, and he couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.
“The danger is closer than before….”
Zhao Feng obviously knew what this meant.
Under normal situations, the dangerous sensation would become weaker when he was in the depths of the ocean or in the Purple Saint Ruins.
Zhao Feng guessed that the danger was related to distance. If he was in a special place, the dangerous feeling would be affected.
At the same time, on the other side of the limitless ocean, a cold, black metallic s.h.i.+p was sailing across the ocean.
In terms of size, it was a hundred times larger than the Blue Lightning Sea Sky s.h.i.+p, and it was a hundred times faster as well.
Whoos.h.!.+
The black s.h.i.+p radiated a terrifying aura of Death that blotted out the sky.
Wherever this s.h.i.+p of death sailed, all the beasts, pirates, and businessmen within the ocean trembled.
“Watch out, it’s the s.h.i.+p of Death….”
A Void G.o.d Realm expert from a two-star sect nearby warned as he sensed it.
Within an old cabin on the s.h.i.+p:
“Aye, although we saved a lot of time by using the teleportation array of the Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land to reach the True Martial Sacred Land, the journey is still long.”
A youth sighed. He was utterly bored.
“The True Martial Sacred Land is very fun. Why don’t you take me around to play more?”
The white-eyed little girl said.
Their tall and short figures stepped out of the room and onto the deck of the s.h.i.+p.
“I’ll let you play as much as you want after the mission. If we don’t complete this mission, all of Master’s hard work will have been done for nothing.”
The youth said.
“Mission?”
The white-eyed little girl paused.
Although her cultivation hadn’t changed much, her state of existence had reached the True Lord Rank and was suited the environment of the limitless ocean.
The warm youth’s eyes landed on the girl with curiosity.
The Emperor of Death had more than two disciples, but the warm youth had never seen his Master so lax with any of his disciples, giving them so many resources but no cultivation technique.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The white-eyed little girl bit her lips and held a brush as if drawing something.
The warm youth glanced at it and saw the white-eyed little girl trying to draw some sort of beast of the ocean.
“Senior Martial Brother, if we complete the mission, you’ll take me to play right?”
The white-eyed little girl asked naively.
“Of course.”
The warm youth smiled and gave off a righteous feeling. He even used his hand to gently tap the little girl’s nose.
“Hmph, I hope you’ll do what you say you will.”
The little girl gave the drawing to the youth.
“This is…?”
The youth looked at the drawing in his hand.
The drawing wasn’t done very nicely, but he could still tell that there was a limitless ocean whale that had died.
The thing was though, the heart of this limitless ocean whale was missing.
“Limitless ocean whale!”
The eyes of the warm youth sparkled as he glanced deeply toward the little girl.
“Bring the map and show me where there are limitless ocean whales within these few dozen island zone. We will then find the corpse of a limitless ocean whale whose heart has been taken out.”
