Book 6 Chapter 34 The Clues of the First Heavenly Jealousy

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xihe talked about Jiang Lan for a while, and then under the guidance of the sun mother, Bai Qiuran reached the roots of the sacred tree Fusang.

The root system of the sacred tree was deeply rooted in the Cang Sea, but there were still a few gaps on the sea surface. In some gaps, space could even be large enough to accommodate a vast ocean with its own ecosystem. There were several islands hidden in the space, which was also very normal.

Following Xihe’s guidance, Bai Qiuran found the islands hidden under the root system of the tree. There were four large islands squeezed into a dark and dim space. Being located under the root system of the sacred tree Fusang, the light of the sun couldn’t shine here, thus it’s dark all year round.

However, some plants that do not need photosynthesis stubbornly grow on the island. Some plants emit a faint light in the dim space, illuminating the surrounding area.

Around the island, in the ocean surrounded by the roots, some horrible giants could be vaguely seen diving ups and downs. Bai Qiuran landed on the bottom left corner of the island in the southeast direction, following a straight line towards the northeast of the island.

All the way, the surrounding space became darker, and in the jungle, some whispering sounds could be heard.

Occasionally, some weird-looking carnivorous creatures would attack Bai Qiuran’s direction. Bai Qiuran caught some of them and studied them, and found that these creatures should be variants of some common beasts on overseas islands.

Living in this dark space all the years, their eyesight has completely degraded, and some did not even have the eye at all, but their sense of hearing and smell has become extremely developed as if they have evolved into another creature.

This island was not too big for Bai Qiuran. He quickly walked to the northeast end of the island. As he inadvertently passed through a valley in a jungle made of weird plants, his feet suddenly touched an artificial trap.

At the same time that the rope made of vines under his feet broke, a huge sharp stone pillar suddenly swayed out of the nearby bushes and banged against the side of Bai Qiuran’s body, and then the entire front section was instantly smashed to pieces.

After the trap was triggered, the plants above the valleys on both sides also sounded weird call signs, and there were countless gloomy lights. The fruit of the plants on the islands under this gloomy tree that could provide a light source was thrown from above to Bai Qiuran’s side. Countless stone spears flew out from the surrounding vegetation, all throwing them towards Bai Qiuran.

The stone spear pierced Bai Qiuran’s body, and then all returned without success, some of them even broke into several pieces by themselves. Bai Qiuran stood on the spot, looking around, ignoring the dim lighting conditions around him, and successfully saw the “hunters” hidden in the vegetation.

They were some humanoid creatures. From the appearance they should be humans, but compared to the human races outside, they were short and rickety, with slender limbs, and their skin became pale and bloodless.

Like other creatures, they have also evolved to adapt to this underground space, but they still seem to have eyesight, and the hunting method they use was no different from the human race.

Bai Qiuran stood still on the spot, and after a round of throwing, the surrounding “people” also surrounded Bai Qiuran with their weapons. Only then did they finally see Bai Qiuran clearly. Looks like.

After seeing Bai Qiuran’s appearance, the group of people suddenly became excited. They murmured something that Bai Qiuran could not understand, then threw away their weapons, and bowed to Bai Qiuran.

“How is this going?”

The second monk Bai Qiuran couldn’t figure it out.

“Could it be that I have finally awakened the aura of the king?”

“Where do you get the aura of the king? The aura of the turtle is more likely.”

Hanging on his waist, Wise Immortal, who hadn’t said a word for a long time, suddenly uttered:

“Looking at their appearance, there must be something hidden.”

After worshipping for a while, one of these people suddenly got up, whispered to Bai Qiuran, and then stretched his finger in one direction.

“He asked you to go with him.”

Wise Immortal translated.

“Can you understand their language?”

Bai Qiuran said in surprise.

“I barely understood it with Great Wisdom.”

Wise Immortal replied:

“Keep up with them and see what they are going to do.”

These people ran very fast even in the dark space, but for Bai Qiuran, it was not difficult to keep up with them. Following these people all the way, he came to the high ground on the coast. The two were surprised that there was a stone city wall on that high ground.

Although this kind of city wall was very small, it is a very advanced technology in the current era. To compare, even in the richest human settlements on the eastern land, at this time, only walls built with logs were used. The only difference was just having two more layers than other settlements.

Following this group of people, Bai Qiuran entered the interior of the settlement. In the settlement, there were many people with the same pale skin and short stature. When Bai Qiuran entered the city, they all walked out of their snail residence, murmured and communicated with each other ecstatically, and then bowed down to Bai Qiuran.

“They are calling you a god.”

Wise Immortal whispered.

Bai Qiuran followed the little white man until he brought himself to the center of the settlement.

There was an exquisite stone statue. Standing on the stone statue was a man dressed in armor and a sword on his waist. He looked up into the distance.

This was definitely not a technology that the human race could do in this era!

Bai Qiuran looked at the stone statue with surprise in his heart.

Sitting under the stone statue was an old woman with pale skin. She was covered with necklaces strung with animal teeth. When she saw Bai Qiuran, she was shaking all over, while mumbling, she knelt down to worship Bai Qiuran.

Bai Qiuran quickly grabbed Wise Immortal’s head, raised it to the stone statue, and asked:

“Wise Immortal, who is that?”

Wise Immortal looked at it, and also shouted:

“It’s him! This man’s information has been blocked by Heaven, he must be the original Heavenly Jealousy!”

Bai Qiuran’s breathing became hurried. He turned Wise Immortal’s head to the old woman and urged:

“Quickly, Wise Immortal, ask her where did that man go?”

Wise Immortal also hurriedly spoke to the old woman. A skull spoke, which really scared the old woman half to death, but after a whisper, Wise Immortal calmed down the old woman. The two murmured and communicated for a long time, and then Wise Immortal remained silent for a long time before speaking.

“Old Bai, according to these human races, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi may be aware of the existence of Heavenly Jealousy.”

He considered it for a while before continuing:

“You have to be careful, he may not fully believe you.”

“What is the problem?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“According to the old woman, they used to live on the earth and suffered from demons. Later, this [God] defeated the demons and brought them here to help them build a new home. Then [God] left by himself and went to the deeper part of the ocean, but they firmly believed that [God] would return here again and lead them.”

Wise Immortal said:

“That [God] refers to the first Heavenly Jealousy, and those demons are probably the gods. The harshness of the gods of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi to the common races may not be the indulgence of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and it is more likely to be instructed by him.”

Bai Qiuran secretly remembered Wise Immortal’s reminder in her heart, and then asked:

“Then the first Heavenly Jealousy, where did he go?”

“The boundary of the world… here is already the east pole of the world. If you want to go to the depths of the sea, there will only be a mysterious destination.”
