Chapter 958 Arrival in Wuzhou, the Primitive Land
Soon, another half day had passed.
The Crab Shell Palace traversed the bay unimpeded and arrived at a completely new sea area.
This is the Fog Continent Sea, which is already very far from Thunder Continent. If it were an ordinary person, they probably would never be able to cross such a wide bay in their entire life.
Even for martial artists below the Nirvana Realm, it would take at least a month to traverse this realm, not even taking into account the dangers they might encounter along the way.
Because of Yao Xinlong's status as Crown Prince, all these dangers were avoided, and Ye Kang and Ye Meijue arrived at their destination at a speed beyond expectations.
The two bid farewell to Yao Xin and left the palace directly, stepping onto the wide land ahead.
As soon as Ye Meijue stepped onto Wuzhou, it was as if a huge burden had been lifted from her heart, and she felt relaxed and at ease.
Clearly, returning to her hometown was an extremely happy thing for her, and only in Wuzhou could she be herself freely.
In a sense, the fact that the Holy Emperor did not touch her was actually a blessing in disguise for her.
But Ye Kang was different.
As soon as he entered the territory of Wuzhou, he could feel a completely different aura of heaven and earth compared to Leizhou.
The spiritual energy here is even richer, yet it lacks a touch of rigidity, instead brimming with vitality, making one feel refreshed and relaxed from the bottom of one's heart.
Ye Meijue laughed and said, "It's very different, isn't it? There aren't many humans in Wuzhou, but the number of natural creatures is the largest in the Nine Provinces, especially the mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, fish and insects, whose numbers are comparable to the stars."
Ye Kang nodded: "No wonder, the spiritual energy here is exceptionally pure and beautiful, but it is also more wild and untamed."
"This is just the beach area. Once you enter the primeval jungle, you'll know what true wilderness is."
Ye Meijue smiled mysteriously, then led Ye Kang across the beach and found a small path.
Following the path, one arrives at a vast expanse of primeval forest, where trees reach heights of hundreds of feet, resembling a canopy of sky on earth.
The entire Wuzhou is characterized by this kind of terrain, wild and primitive, most closely resembling the ancient times.
The reason is quite simple: because of the existence of Emperor Huai.
This ancient and powerful being has lived for countless years; hundreds of thousands of years ago, he was already the ruler of this continent.
With him rooted here, no one else can touch it, and therefore no one can change the landscape.
Even now, this place is forbidden to mortals and a dangerous place that martial artists find difficult to cross.
Upon entering the primeval jungle, the sense of wildness became even more pronounced. Ye Kang even saw many wild beasts he had never seen before, including a horse with a single horn, a squirrel with flames on its feet, and a peculiar lizard that stood upright on two legs, resembling a dinosaur.
Moreover, the surrounding environment was almost identical, so Ye Kang couldn't help but ask, "How did you figure out the road?"
Ye Meijue pointed to her nose: "You can't rely on your eyes here, you have to rely on your nose. The aliens living here can smell every direction."
"I see. It seems that once I, an outsider, come in, I can't get out."
"That's not true. For someone at the Returning to Truth Realm like you, as long as you keep flying in one direction, you'll eventually get out. Alright, there's a tribe of strange people just ahead. Do you want to go and sell your wine?"
Ye Kang shook his head helplessly: "No, the quantity of that wine is limited, and we don't have any stock to sell right now."
He wasn't lying; most of the turbulent brew was meant to be sold to Crocodile God, but now he'd exchanged another 100 jin for Yao Xin, so he really didn't have any stock left.
Ye Meijue nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go around there."
Ye Kang nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "How many tribes of extraordinary people are there in Wuzhou?"
Ye Meijue shook her head and said, "I don't know, but there are no fewer than a hundred of them, and they are mostly scattered. There are many small tribes that I have never seen before."
Is there a Fierce Steed tribe?
Ye Kang looked at Ye Meijue, his mind already recalling the legacy of the Martial Emperor.
This is a secret matter. Emperor Wu was born into a strange tribe in Wuzhou, named Lie Jun. However, after he acquired the bloodline of the ancient tribe, he established the Wu Dynasty as a human.
Emperor Wu did not forget his origins and left behind a Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron in Wuzhou.
This cauldron, combining the bloodlines of extraordinary individuals with the ancient bloodline awakened by the Martial Emperor, can condense an ancient blood inner core.
By activating the inner core, one can unleash the bloodline of the ancient race, becoming a temporary member of the ancient race and greatly increasing their strength.
Although it may sound ordinary, this is a legacy that even the Martial Emperor specially left behind. Its true power is probably far beyond what is described.
Now that he's come to Wuzhou, Ye Kang naturally can't let this opportunity pass him by; he has to go and see for himself.
However, Emperor Wu did not leave the coordinates of the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron, so Ye Kang could only try his luck at the Fierce Jun tribe.
Upon hearing this, Ye Meijue was quite surprised: "How do you know about the Liejun tribe?"
Emperor Wu's origins were a secret, unknown even to the locals of Wuzhou, let alone to a junior like Ye Meijue.
Ye Kang casually made up an excuse, saying, "I once read in a book that the Liejun tribe of Wuzhou has a special product that is said to be very precious."
Unexpectedly, Ye Meijue actually showed a look of sudden realization: "So you came for the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl, but that's just a legend. I don't believe the Liejun tribe would actually have such a thing. But if you want to try, I can take you there, but you have to go back to the Ye Nu tribe first."
"Of course, then thank you very much, Miss Ye."
Ye Kang looked grateful, but his mind was full of questions.
The Fire-Stabilizing Pearl? What's that?
There really is treasure here?
He never expected that a random, made-up reason would actually work out so well. From now on, he's all set on getting the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl.
For the next three days, the two flew all the way to the heart of the Fog Continent.
With Ye Kang's cultivation level here, his speed was naturally at its maximum, and he soon arrived at the heart of a dense jungle.
Ye Meijue beamed with joy: "I understand!"
"Congratulations on returning home, Miss Ye."
"I never expected this day to come, but you'd better be careful, I need to take you to meet Emperor Huai."
Ye Kang frowned: "Is Emperor Huai here?"
"Of course not. He is the guardian deity of Wuzhou, so he is omnipresent. What we want to see is just one of his thousands of roots."
"That's outrageous!"
Thousands of roots spread across the entire continent, controlling everything. This sense of oppression far surpassed that of any powerful figure Ye Kang had ever encountered.
It is estimated that they were already under the watchful eye of Emperor Huai from the moment they first set foot on Wuzhou.
Thinking about this, Ye Kang suddenly felt strange; this feeling of being controlled was very unpleasant.
He didn't say much, only calmly saying, "I was just escorting you back; I didn't undertake any diplomatic mission. I'm sure Emperor Huai won't make things difficult for me."
"That's what I think too, but you'd better be more respectful. Maybe if he takes a liking to you, he might reward you with something."
