Chapter 1274 Desolate Sea
Xiao Lin's huge divine consciousness swept out, extending to tens of thousands of miles away.
Suddenly, his face condensed, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. It turned out that in his perception, there was a small island thousands of miles away, and on that island there were creatures that looked like humans.
The reason why they are called like humans is that these "people" look the same as humans on the surface, but each of them has a pair of spiritual wings behind them.
In this regard, they are somewhat similar to the Feiyu tribe, but the wings of the Feiyu tribe are real existences covered with feathers, while the spiritual wings behind these "people" are like two groups of wing-shaped spiritual lights, and they are looming.
Every time the spiritual wings behind them flap, they can move several feet away, and in a flash, they go out very far.
And with this pair of spiritual wings, they can also shuttle back and forth between several small islands.
The only thing that puzzled Xiao Lin was that there was no breath of magic power on these "people", that is, these "people" were just ordinary "people" with extraordinary talents.
Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, then turned into a dark green spiritual light and flew towards the nearest island.
Soon he arrived above the island and then fell from the sky.
Xiao Lin's sudden appearance startled those "people". After they saw Xiao Lin's appearance, they all showed expressions of surprise and fear, and their bodies retreated repeatedly.
Xiao Lin watched them with interest and found that they looked no different from humans. The only difference, apart from the pair of light wings, was that these "people", both men and women, were extremely handsome.
After a while, one of the "people" who looked slightly taller walked out and drifted in front of Xiao Lin cautiously.
"Excuse me, are you the immortal envoy from the Holy Moon Continent?"
"Immortal envoy?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lin smiled and said, "I am indeed an immortal cultivator. I wonder what race you are from and where this place is?"
Xiao Lin was relieved to hear that these light-winged people were speaking the language of the continent, and he asked.
"So you are really the immortal envoy. We are the Flash Wings. Our people have lived in this boundless desolate sea for generations. In this desolate sea, there are dozens of tribes, large and small, most of which belong to the demon tribe. In this desolate sea, the most powerful one is the white demon tribe."
"It really belongs to the demon tribe area." Xiao Lin thought to himself.
"I don't know your surname."
"I don't deserve it. We of the Shanyi tribe use Shan as our surname. I am now over 170 years old. My name is Shan Chongyuan. I am already considered old in our Shanyi tribe and I don't have many years left to live."
"But you look very young, not like an old man." Xiao Lin was also very surprised when he heard this. The man in front of him was just a little taller and looked like a young man in his twenties. How could he associate him with the word old?
"The Immortal Envoy doesn't know that our appearance will not change after we grow to be twenty years old. Our age is determined by the white stripes on our necks. One stripe represents ten years. I already have seventeen stripes, which means I am already one hundred and seventy years old. We, the people of the Flash Wings, do not have Dantian Qihai, and we are born unable to practice, so the maximum life span is only more than two hundred years old. So, I really don't have much time left."
"I see." Xiao Lin saw that there were white stripes on the neck of this Flash Wing member. Although he didn't count them, there were at least a dozen of them.
"This should be the first time for the Immortal Envoy to come to our Desolate Sea. If you don't mind, you can come to our village to rest and slowly learn about the surrounding areas."
After hearing this, Xiao Lin thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.
After hearing this, the Flash Wing member actually showed a hint of joy in his eyes.
Although Xiao Lin noticed this, he couldn't ask, so he could only suppress this question in his heart.
This member of the Shanyi tribe returned to the tribe, and soon brought a group of people to drift beside Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin walked towards the island under the guidance of these people.
Xiao Lin was able to estimate that the island was about hundreds of miles in size, which was considered a large island, and Xiao Lin actually sensed the rich spiritual energy on the island.
This surprised Xiao Lin a little. According to what Shan Zhongyuan said, the Shanyi tribe did not have Dantian and were born unable to practice immortality. However, the island where they lived actually had spiritual veins and had not been robbed by the monsters, which made Xiao Lin a little puzzled.
You must know that in the world of immortal cultivation, spiritual veins are important resources for immortal cultivation. Generally, islands with spiritual veins will be occupied by some immortal cultivators. In the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea in the mortal world, some islands with spiritual veins were either occupied by humans or monsters.
Ordinary people can only live on some deserted islands without spiritual energy and make a living by fishing and trade.
Soon, Xiao Lin, under the guidance of the Shanyi people, came to their village. The whole village was built on the mountain. There was a stream on one side of the village, flowing out from the mountain behind and extending to the sea.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the whole village was bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, which seemed particularly warm.
At the entrance of the village, there were some children of the Flash Wing tribe, playing in pairs. They looked the same as human children, except for the pair of flash wings that were faintly visible behind them.
As they ran, the pair of flash wings would flash constantly, and the sound of hip-hop echoed in the mountains.
Looking at this scene, a series of extremely old pictures emerged in his mind. He thought of his childhood, which was also carefree like the children in front of him.
It was a pity that such a beautiful time was too short.
Along the way, Xiao Lin learned that this village was called Taoyuan Village, and Shan Chongyuan was the village chief of this village.
Xiao Lin looked at the surrounding scenery, green waters and green mountains. The houses in the small village were all built with ancient iron wood that was more than a hundred years old, exuding a strong mountain atmosphere.
Here, Xiao Lin forgot the prosperity in the fairy city, which made him feel a different kind of tranquility.
Xiao Lin followed Shan Chongyuan to his home. Several of his sons and daughters-in-law came out to greet him. It was obvious that they were not uncommon to see an "immortal envoy" like Xiao Lin. They were not very restrained, but their eyes were filled with respect and fear.
Xiao Lin did not care. Before entering the village, he had already explored the entire island several times. There were no immortal cultivators on the entire island.
After Shan Chongyuan brought his children and grandchildren to greet Xiao Lin, he sent them away very tactfully, and then poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Lin, standing respectfully aside.
Xiao Lin smiled slightly, quite praising Shan Chongyuan's experience.
Xiao Lin took a sip of tea and did not say anything.
At this time, Shan Zhongyuan bowed respectfully and said, "Since the immortal envoy has come to this unfamiliar sea for the first time, he must have many questions to ask me. I have lived in this desolate sea for nearly three decades and have more experience than the people in the village. You can ask whatever you want. As long as I know, I will tell you everything I know."
Xiao Lin put down the teacup, nodded, and smiled, "Don't be so reserved, please sit down."
Hearing this, Shan Zhongyuan moved to a chair opposite Xiao Lin and sat down. He did not look at Xiao Lin, which also showed his respect.
"I heard from the village chief that this desolate sea area is controlled by the demon race, with the white demon race as the leader, and several other demon races as the auxiliary, and then there are many other races?"
"Yes, our island is called Taoyuan Island, located in the center of the desolate sea area, so it has never been invaded by those uncivilized demon beasts in the sea. In fact, the real demon race refers to those demon races that have achieved enlightenment and transformed into human form. There are not many of them, and there are only a few large cities in the entire desolate sea area. Most of them are people of various races, and a small number are those demon race masters. However, the controllers behind these fairy cities are all those demon race masters."
Xiao Lin understood that before the demon race advanced to the emperor level, it was just a demon beast with a certain degree of wisdom. Only after advancing to the emperor level can it transform into a human body. After the real demon race transforms into a human body, it actually looks down on those uncivilized fellow races.
So those demon races choose to enter the fairy city, which is understandable to Xiao Lin.
Then Xiao Lin stopped being polite and started asking about the situation of the entire Desolate Sea.
The two chatted for several hours, and through Shan Chongyuan, Xiao Lin had a general understanding of the Desolate Sea.
It turned out that the Desolate Sea was located in the boundless sea east of the Holy Moon Continent. In this boundless sea, most of the area was a vast sea without any islands.
There were also some overseas island groups that gathered together to form a piece of sea, and the Desolate Sea was one of them.
According to old man Shan, there were countless similar Desolate Seas in this boundless sea. It was even rumored that there was a continent similar to the Holy Moon Continent in the far distance of the sea, and there was more than one.
When Xiao Lin learned the news, he was really surprised.
The Holy Moon Continent was vast and boundless. The North Sky Fragmented Realm alone exceeded the sum of all the regions in his mortal world, and the North Sky Fragmented Realm was only a part of the North Sky Region. As for the Holy Moon Continent, even he didn't know how many regions there were.
Large tribes like the Spirit Tribe and the Bone Tribe directly occupy one region, and some super tribes even occupy several regions.
Xiao Lin could hardly imagine how powerful such a race would be.
Now from this old man Shan, Xiao Lin knew that the Holy Moon Continent was not the only continent in the Spirit World. In the depths of the boundless ocean, there might be places similar to the Holy Moon Continent.
How big is the entire Spirit World? Xiao Lin dared not imagine.
However, Old Man Shan only learned this news from his elders, and his ancestors only heard it from hearsay and the casual conversations of the immortal messengers passing by.
But Xiao Lin also learned from Old Man Shan that the city closest to Taoyuan Island is called [Baidi City]. With Baidi City as the center, there are countless islands around it. There are countless islands like Taoyuan Village, and Taoyuan Village is definitely the last one among all the islands.
Even those immortal messengers disdain to come here to build caves for cultivation.
The reason why the villagers of Taoyuan Village can live in peace for generations is precisely because of Baidi City. This Baidi City is controlled by the White Demon Clan. In order to ensure the safety of the surrounding sea area, the White Demon Clan drove all the monsters within a range of hundreds of millions of miles to the outside of the Desolate Sea. Only a few monsters remain in the entire Desolate Sea area.
Xiao Lin finally solved the doubts in his heart. In the mortal world where he is, the human race and the monster race are fighting against each other. Naturally, he knows that wherever there are monsters, there must be a large number of low- and medium-level monsters. He previously explored Taoyuan Village and the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of sea several times with his divine sense, but did not find any traces of monsters.
Now I know from Elder Shan that it was done by the White Demon Clan.
"There are still many undeveloped islands in the Desolate Sea, and outside the Desolate Sea, there are countless wild islands. The immortal envoys in Baidi City, those with low cultivation usually choose to build caves on the deserted islands in the Desolate Sea to practice, while those with higher cultivation will go far outside the Desolate Sea to explore the immortal islands and treasures. On some islands, it is very likely to pick immortal ganoderma fruit. Taking one can add hundreds of years to your life."
Shan Zhongyuan was full of envy when he said this. It was a pity that his Shanyi clan could not practice, so naturally he could not stay away from the Desolate Sea.
But he looked at Xiao Lin with hope: "If the immortal envoy doesn't mind, there is a foggy immortal mountain behind our Taoyuan Village, where the immortal envoy can build a cave to practice. Although our village is not big, there is a mine in the back mountain. The villagers have obtained a lot of immortal stones from it, which can be taken out to offer to the immortal envoy."
Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard it: "You want me to build a cave on your island to practice? I don't know why?"
Dan Zhongyuan saw that his thoughts had obviously been seen through by the person in front of him, and his face showed a trace of embarrassment.
After a moment of silence, he spoke out the reason.
It turned out that there were several islands around Taoyuan Village, all of which were inhabited by the Flash Wings, but on one of the islands, a group of Iron Arms lived.
The Iron Arms, like the Flash Wings, had unopened Qi Seas and could not practice the immortal way.
But they are also gifted. Not only are they tall and have amazing jumping ability, but they also have a pair of iron arms naturally covered with fine iron scales. They are extremely powerful and sharp. Even some low-level immortals may not be their opponents.
On the island of this group of Iron Arms, there is an excellent spiritual vein, and there is also an immortal who lives in seclusion and practices. With the help of this immortal, the Iron Arms almost monopolize the surrounding sea trade business. In recent years, they have made a lot of money and have supported two immortals.
In contrast, their Flash Wings are in a worrying situation. The sea trade business is almost cut off, and now they can only make a living by fishing.
