The ocean is huge and looks infinite. The islands at sea level were the territory of immortal cultivators and demon cultivators whereas the boundless underwater world was the territory of monster cultivators, whose power is far greater than that of demons or immortals.
There are 3 regions led by 3 powers in the underwater world.
The first one was the Azure Dragon Palace. The emperor of this kingdom was of course a legendary monster that had the true form of an Azure Dragon. He was referred to as the no. 1 fighter in the outside world of cultivation. Even super fighters among immortal cultivators and demon cultivators could not compare to him.
The second was the Nine Demons Hall, which had 9 leaders, whose original form was the Purple Demon Water Dragon, a mutation of the Water Dragon type. Although individually they were not as strong as the Azure Dragon Palace, as the 9 brothers, they had the advantage in numbers. Moreover, each of them is a super fighter.
The third was the Blue Water Mansion. The master of the Blue Water Mansion was a mutated legendary monster - a Three-Eyed Blue Frog. His third eye was very frightening and very strange. He was slightly weaker than the emperor of the Azure Dragon Palace, but because of that unusual third eye, not even the ruler of the Azure Dragon Palace could defeat him.
In the underwater world, these three superpowers were like 3 great kingdoms. They occupy their respective areas of water within a radius of millions of kilometers. No one dared to shake their position of power so they were absolute rulers underwater.
There was a small power below these three superpowers.
The waters ruled by the Nine Demons Hall had a radius of 90 million kilometers. There were 8 smaller powers in this area, all of which were under the control of the Nine Demons Hall, and the leader was the Blood Red Cave, which was all under the control of the Nine Demons Hall, it was in charge of the northernmost region of the Nine Demons Hall region, which was about 8 million kilometers wide,.
"The structure is very clear, as in the Qian Long continent. The Azure Dragon Palace, the Nine Demons Hall, and the Blue Water Mansion were very similar to the 3 great dynasties. As for the Blood Red Cave, it was like it was a subordinate territory of the Nine Demons Hall. And I'm currently in the waters controlled by the Blood Red Cave."
Qin Yu's thoughts were now clear.
Previously, he knew nothing about the underwater world of these monsters so naturally he was afraid. A person is afraid of something he does not know. After understanding everything, even though Qin Yu knew that there were many monster fighters underwater, his mentality relaxed a little.
This underwater world was clearly bigger than the Qian Long continent and, moreover, there were still many more fighters here. These two worlds were completely unequal to each other. Several tens of randomly selected monster cultivators from the underwater world could easily wipe out the entire Qian Long continent.
The human continent and the underwater world of monsters were not at all on the same level.
"Ah, ah, so it turned out that this was the reason why that monster cultivator could quickly tell that I was an outsider."
Two jade cards appeared in his hand.
These jade cards were taken from the bodies of the followers of the monster group some time ago. The top of the jade card had 2 words, Nine Demons, and the bottom of the card had a word, Blood Red. These few words all emitted a special aura.
In the beginning, the ruler of the Nine Demons Hall gave the order that in the territory controlled by the Nine Demons Hall, all the followers of the monsters who had reached the Gold Core stage should receive a jade card as an identity. In the waters of the Nine Demons Hall, monster cultivators who possessed the same jade card should not fight with each other.
There were 9 kinds of identity cards for the monster cultivators in the Nine Demons Hall region.
They were the Nine Blood Red Devils, the Nine Great Shell Demons, and so on.
There were 8 smaller powers like the Blood Red Cave in the territory of the Nine Demons Hall so naturally there were 8 sorts of jade cards like the Nine Demons Red Blood card. The last type of jade card was the Nine Demons Card This card was given to the monsters that were directly under the Nine Demons Hall and not controlled by the 8 powers below it.
Not a single monster retainer in the Nine Demons Hall territory was allowed to kill someone holding a Nine Demons Card. Anyone who broke this rule would be punished by the guards in the Nine Demons Hall.
A Xiuyaoist holding a Nine Demon Red Blood Card was not allowed to kill someone holding the same jade card, but he could kill a monster cultivator who had a different type of card.
The Nine Demons Hall gave this order to make the 8 lower powers fight each other, so that their strength did not expand beyond the strength of the Nine Demons Hall. Moreover, no one could kill a monster cultivator controlled directly by the Nine Demons Hall. Thus, this made more and more monsters have become direct subordinates of the Nine Demons Hall.
There was a slight smile on Qin Yu's face.
"From now on, I will become a member of the Blood Red Cave, which is under the Nine Demons Hall." He personalised the jade card with blood and sucked it into his body then easily sucked the other card into his spatial ring. .
The Nine Demons Hall had never worried that outsiders would seize this jade identity card by force. The card, however, could not be used easily by outsiders.
Once a monster cultivator had a jade identity card, he could sense information about other people's jade identity cards with it. If they had the same identity card, this meant that they belonged to the same power group. If their identity cards were different, they could fight each other.
Of course, Qin Yu could also fight someone from the same power group as him if he was confident he could hide this from the law enforcement squads or he could fight this army.
Previously, since Qin Yu and Xiao Hei did not have any jade cards as they dived deep into the sea, they could instantly be marked by those monsters.
"But .. even though I have a jade card, my body still does not have the aura of a monster." Qin Yu slightly frowned. The aura of a monster is often referred to as the aura of a demon, which is very easy to recognize for all monster cultivators. This was also the reason why these monsters were able to judge that Qin Yu was an immortal cultivator in an instant.
He felt that complications had arisen.
Since he had a jade identity card, that monster cultivator could sense the aura on his business card. But if they did not pay attention to him then they would not be able to find his true identity, but if they observed his aura carefully then they would see that he did not have a demonic aura, but if they were to observe his aura carefully then they would see that he did not have a demonic aura, which would be very dangerous.
"The devil's aura." Qin Yu frowned deeply as he muttered repeatedly.
Right now, his mind was contemplating non-stop. The monsters could recognize each other thanks, first, to their jade identity cards and, second, their demonic aura. After all, since most monster cultivators used their human form, they looked very similar to immortal cultivators and demon cultivators.
"Oh yes, Northern Darkness!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yu's mouth.
The Northern Darkness was a secret ability of a demon that was harder to practice than the Soul Examination in several levels. To perform Northern Darkness, its user must combine his spiritual energy with his elemental energy. Northern Darkness has 2 functions. The first is to suppress the user's aura and the second is to speed up his practicing progress.
If he wanted to suppress his aura, he would only need to perform the technique with a little spiritual energy, and his entire aura would be suppressed.
If he wanted to speed up his training progress, he would have to do so by absorbing a lot of spiritual energy. Not only would the entire aura he swallowed, the surrounding natural holy energy would also be absorbed entirely. At that moment, in the eyes that were looking, the user of the Northern Darkness technique would look like a black hole, sucking up all the holy energy nearby.
Checking a person with Holy sense has two purposes: first, to check his Holy sense and, second, to check the aura coming out of his body.
"Once I use the Northern Darkness, my aura will not come out. Other people will not be able to sense my aura, not even my spiritual energy as well. Maybe the enemy will think that I am practicing a special monster technique."
It's an alternative solution.
Qin Yu was not a monster cultivator so he could not form a demonic aura like the one formed by monsters. So he only needed to absorb the entire aura. If other people discovered that they did not feel his aura at all, they would generally think that he was a mysterious fighter.
Qin Yu, who was contemplating to practice the Northern Darkness, did not pay any attention to the little green fish not far from him at all.
When Qin Yu checked his surroundings using his Holy Sense, he did not pay attention to ordinary fish and shrimp and only cared about those who had at least reached the Golden Core stage. This little green fish is an Innate level small fish, the like of which is very commonly seen in the depths of the ocean.
...
Sang Mo was sitting alone in the main hall, sadly drinking a mouthful of wine after sip. After spending a few days searching and still not finding Qin Yu, now he had put on a fighter from the green-eyed fish clan, who could be said to have eyes everywhere.
"Senior Sang Mo, the murderer has been found." A man with a scaly green face quickly walked into the main hall then said with a smile to Sang Mo while bowing.
Sang Mo immediately put the cup in his hand.
"You said ... the killer has been found?" Sang Mo's eyes glittered with a desire to kill.
The man from the green-eyed fish clan said proudly, "Isn't that man in an area whose radius is only 100,000 km? The 30 members of my clan have searched together. Each one controls more than 1000 fish. There were countless fish at the bottom of the ocean, so who would want to pay attention to an ordinary fish?"
"Ha-ha, quickly tell me where she is." Sang Mo was happy.
The man from the herd of green-eyed fish handed the square piece of jade over to Sang Mo directly. This is because, it is very difficult to give a clear verbal description of Qin Yu's existence within the sea that has no name. By using Holy sense to sketch Qin Yu's location, it would certainly become easier. As soon as Sang Mo scanned the jade with his Holy Sense, he knew where Qin Yu was currently.
"Well, when the killer gets caught, I'll definitely thank you very much." At this moment Sang Mo was very happy.
The man from the green-eyed fish clan said with a smile: "I will go with you, Senior Sang Mo. Even if he moves, I can tell you about his whereabouts clearly."
"It's good, follow me."
Right after saying that, Sang Mo walked out of the palace like a bright red ray, rushing very quickly towards Qin Yu's location. That person from the green-eyed fish clan walked with him. Sang Mo also began telling his clan members to gather in the area through his communication tools.
"This time I won't let him escape no matter what happens!" Sang Mo's eyes glittered fiercely. A murderous aura roiled around his body nonstop.
...
Qin Yu got into the rock from the rock mountain and started trying to practice the Northern Darkness demon technique.
The Soul Examination only used spiritual energy so it was very simple for him to practice, however Northern Darkness combined spiritual energy with elemental energy within the body so Qin Yu had to mix his star energy and spiritual energy together.
He drew out streams of star energy from his dantian and spiritual energy currents from his soul then made them interconnected with each other.
"combine? How to combine it? "
Qin Yu discovered that his star energy and spiritual energy were 2 completely different types of energy. There was absolutely no way to combine them since spiritual energy could even break through star energy. Spiritual energy is not material while star energy has a physical form.
"It is no wonder that the book says that the Northern Darkness is so difficult to study. The writer could only make it after he reached the Tribulation stage." Qin Yu slightly frowned.
The spiritual energy and star energy were 2 completely different things, so only heaven knew how the author could combine them.
...
"Senior Sang Mo, my member just sent me a message that the killer is in the southwest. Looks like he's practicing." The man from the green-eyed fish clan said to Sang Mo while smiling confidently.
Sang Mo's eyes glittered. There were over 20 clan members behind him. Meanwhile, the members of the Sang clan in several other directions also attempted to besiege Qin Yu.
"300 miles, that's great."
Sang Mo felt the blood all over his body start to boil. Once he remembered how his son's head was pierced to shreds and his son's golden core was snatched away, he couldn't control his anger.
"Go!"
With the flapping of his robe, Sang Mo drove over quickly, rushing towards Qin Yu's current location. On one hand, the man from the green-eyed fish clan and the more than 20 members of the Sang clan also rushed towards Qin Yu chasing after him.
Only 300 km, for a monster cultivator, this was truly a very short distance away.
Before long, there were only a few tens of kilometers left between Sang Mo and Qin Yu.
Inside the sea mountain, Qin Yu, whose Holy Sense was always on high alert, suddenly his facial expression changed. His holy sense had detected that Sang Mo and a few fighters were rushing towards him from the northeast direction. Lucky for Qin Yu, his Holy Sense had become a little stronger and his range was also a little bigger.
Seeing Sang Mo rushing in a straight line and based on Sang Mo's expression, Qin Yu was 90% sure that Sang Mo knew where he was.
Qin Yu did not have time to think about how the enemy knew of its location, Qin Yu left that place very quickly. Standing on top of his sword and using the Body Unification Weapon technique, he immediately ran south. Sang Mo did not catch up in his original form so his speed was not as fast as Qin Yu.
...
"It's bad, the killer seems to have noticed us. He's running south." The man from the green-eyed fish clan became extremely anxious.
Sang Mo's facial expression changed.
The man from the green-eyed fish clan continued, "The killer's speed is extremely high. My men can't follow him. Maybe the fish controlled by the other members of my clan can detect the killer, but this member is still in the palace of the Sang clan."
Sang Mo did not think that Qin Yu would be able to detect him so he only brought a man from the green-eyed fish clan with him.
"No problem, I've set my clan members heading in another direction."
A killing aura started to come out from Sang Mo's face. At the same time, with the fluttering movements of his robe, Sang Mo transformed into a huge red octopus. With a swing of his 8 tentacles, he immediately chased south like a beam of light. Compared to Qin Yu's Body Unification Weapon technique, this Octopus was still slightly faster.
Qin Yu rushed south very quickly but then he suddenly stopped.
"There's someone!"
His holy sense suddenly detected there were 10 octopuses within a range of several tens of kilometers from him. Although there are currently only 10 octopuses, who says there will not be more octopuses to come. Based on this and the fact that currently Sang Mo was rushing towards him, Qin Yu made a decision.
"Sang Mo knew where I was. Also, there was a circle of siege already formed around me."
After Qin Yu paused for a moment, his Holy Sense discovered that a huge red octopus was rushing towards him from a distance of several tens of kilometers behind him.
"It's Sang Mo.." Qin Yu's facial expression instantly changed.
