Chapter 249 The function of mysterious jade
The meal lasted for a long time, and we didn't break up until it was getting dark.
Perhaps the wine on the ship was so good that many people were extremely drunk. At this time, the ship had not sailed into the open sea and would not encounter any danger, so Long Xuan allowed them to indulge once.
Long Xuan was standing at the bow of the ship, blowing the wind and sobering up. The first mate, Nie Qingcheng, slowly walked over from behind, stood side by side with him, looked at the sea view in the distance, and suddenly said:
"I found that you don't know anything about the sea, so I have to ask more, do you have the Endless Jade?"
Hearing this, Long Xuan was stunned as expected: "Endless Jade? What Endless Jade?"
Nie Qingcheng couldn't help but cover her forehead. Her hunch was indeed correct. This little Captain Bai really didn't even understand these common sense questions.
Everyone subconsciously thought that since Long Xuan dared to go to the Endless Sea, he must have the Endless Jade, so they followed him on the ship.
Fortunately, she asked more, otherwise the people on this boat would be in big trouble, and they would all be buried in the endless sea.
She had to lament that it was really scary for a newbie to start the journey.
I am also glad that I followed today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
She could only explain helplessly: "Why does Tian Island, which has a very high mortality rate, attract so many Gu cultivators to commit suicide? Isn't it because there is a magic medicine on Tian Island that can increase life span!"
"There are even things that keep people young forever, which is why you can have a bunch of beauties on your boat."
"If there are no restrictions, you can imagine how many Gu cultivators can be attracted to it. I am afraid that most of the forces in this world will be afraid of what is on the island. At that time, the entire island may not be able to accommodate so many people."
"Fortunately, there are various extremely dangerous sea areas in this world. These extremely dangerous sea areas are called forbidden seas. They are forbidden areas for humans. Very few humans can set foot in them."
"And the Endless Sea is a forbidden sea. Most Gu cultivators will die if they enter it, including the Gu King."
"The Endless Sea is still an unsolved mystery. The reason why it is called the Endless Sea by humans is because this sea is endless and infinite."
"Once a ship comes here, even if you go straight for ten thousand years, you won't be able to get out of the endless sea. In the end, you will be trapped alive in it. The endless sea doesn't look that big on the map. It's very evil."
"So anyone who mistakenly enters the endless sea cannot come out again. There is no point in turning back. Even if the Gu King gets lost in it, he will not be able to come out at all."
"Only a rare jade stone produced in the endless sea can enable ships to sail normally in the endless sea and finally find the island in the center of the endless sea."
"This kind of rare jade is also called endless jade by Gu cultivators."
"So only ships carrying the Endless Jade can enter the Endless Sea. Without the Endless Jade, anyone entering the Endless Sea will have no end, and will eventually be trapped and die alive."
"It is precisely because the Endless Jade is so rare that most of the forces in this world are restricted from entering the Endless Sea to find the island."
"If you don't have the Endless Jade with you, I advise you to wander around somewhere else. There will definitely be no chance of finding Tiandao." Nie Qingcheng said with some disappointment.
Hearing this, Long Xuan was completely stunned. There was an infinite ocean in this world, and he couldn't get out even if he walked straight for ten thousand years. Is it so evil?
He couldn't help but be afraid of the nature of this world. If the endless sea is so dangerous, how many other more dangerous seas are there in this world? How mysterious will these sea areas be?
In this way, without the Endless Jade, you cannot enter the Endless Sea under any circumstances, even if you are a Gu King.
Doesn't that mean that I have been busy for so many years in vain? He was building a shitty boat and had been working in vain for such a long time. Long Xuan's face gradually became ugly.
Suddenly he thought of something again, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was indeed a piece of jade that he couldn't name.
He got two things from the Gu Lingmen, one of which was a letter and the other was a piece of blue jade.
Since the content of the letter is about the endless sea, is it possible that this blue jade is the endless jade?
Long Xuan's eyes lit up, hope rose again in his heart, and he hurriedly took out the blue jade stone from the storage ring.
"Look at this jade, is it the Endless Jade?"
Long Xuan handed the blue jade to Nie Qingcheng and asked.
Nie Qingcheng hurriedly turned his head. When he saw the jade with blue light in his hand, he was shocked and showed disbelief. He hurriedly snatched the jade and inspected it carefully.
"It's really an endless jade. How lucky are you that you can pick up such a rare thing by accident?"
Nie Qingcheng looked at him with surprise. This captain clearly didn't know what the Endless Jade was.
In other words, this piece of Endless Jade was not something he specifically searched for, but was obtained by chance. It must be said that his luck was a bit unlucky.
How rare is the Endless Jade? It can be said that even the most powerful forces in the world, even the royal family of a country, almost never have the Endless Jade.
Only those who exchange longevity for luck may chance to pick up an endless jade.
Now he had the key to enter the endless sea. Holding this beautiful piece of jade, Nie Qingcheng showed a look of ecstasy.
But at this time, Long Xuan was still worried. He frowned and asked again: "Since Tiandao is rich in so many things of amazing value, won't it attract strong men above the marrow cleansing stage?"
"I heard that only Gu cultivators in the marrow cleansing stage can enter the Tiandao ruins. What's the reason for this?"
Nie Qingcheng turned to look at him and explained patiently: "I don't know what the reason is. Anyway, this is the regulation of the ruins, and people who die in the ruins will disappear out of thin air. No one knows the reason."
"The barrier of the Tiandao ruins can isolate the sea water and all creatures above the marrow cleansing stage. The purpose of setting up the barrier in this way is also unknown."
"But in the past, there was a Gu King carrying the Endless Jade who was guarding outside, specifically to intercept and kill the Gu cultivators in the marrow cleansing stage who came out of the ruins of Tiandao."
"But now the major forces have jointly established rules. Gu cultivators above the marrow cleansing stage are prohibited from entering the Endless Sea. Otherwise, they will be jointly killed by all forces."
"So similar situations are basically gone. You don't have to worry about encountering Gu cultivators who are above the marrow cleansing stage."
Nie Qingcheng saw what he was worried about and patiently explained.
Hearing this, the worry on Long Xuan's face did not diminish.
Why are only Gu cultivators in the marrow cleansing stage allowed to enter the Tiandao ruins? Why do the dead bodies inside disappear out of thin air? Also, why the Tiandao ruins have appeared countless times, but the treasures there seem to be endless.
If these rules exist, there must be a reason.
Others wouldn't care about these details, but he still felt like he should figure it out.
Knowing these details may be of great help to him in an unknown ruins.
If possible, he would even like to know the reason for the formation of this ruins.
Unfortunately, Nie Qingcheng obviously did not understand these issues, and she was too lazy to understand these dispensable questions. Long Xuan could only give up asking.
"I have no experience at sea. From now on, I will leave the control of the ship's direction to you. Which direction do you think the Shenlong should drive next?" Long Xuan asked again.
Nie Qingcheng turned to look at him and said seriously: "I was just going to talk to you about this."
"If it is a normal ship, it will need to plan a lot of safe routes, and the captain will need to have rich sailing experience."
"But this is an abnormal ship. It seems to be able to cope with all kinds of dangers at sea and can cross most dangerous sea areas."
"So my suggestion is that we just go super straight."
"However, although the straight-line distance is the shortest, it will inevitably pass through those extremely dangerous sea areas."
"These waters are too dangerous. Not many ships dare to set foot in them. Ships from Xinghai Port to Tiandao will basically take a detour."
"For example, the Sea of Death right in front of us is an extremely dangerous sea area. There are even seventh-floor treasure ships that have sunk in this sea area, and countless fifth-floor treasure ships that have sunk in this sea area."
"In terms of the degree of danger, the Death Sea is not inferior to the Endless Sea."
"The vast majority of ships will definitely have to take a detour when facing the dead sea, which will take an unknown amount of time."
"But I think the Shenlong doesn't need to make a detour. Its performance can definitely cope with the various dangers in the Dead Sea."
"The key is that the more sea areas humans cannot set foot on, the richer the resources. There are countless aquatic elixirs in the sea, and the number of thousand-year-old elixirs and elixirs that last ten thousand years is unimaginable without human involvement."
"And there are a lot of sunken ships in the Dead Sea, which are endless wealth."
"So my suggestion is that since the performance of the Shenlong is good, then go super straight and don't waste its performance."
"If we take a detour, we will definitely run into other ships heading to the Sky Island, such as those fifth-floor treasure ships and seventh-floor treasure ships. We have fewer people, so taking a detour may not be safer than taking the sea of death."
Nie Qingcheng's eyes were a little sparkling. It was obvious that she was very inclined to enter the Sea of Death, as if the Sea of Death had endless wealth and treasures everywhere.
Hearing this, before Long Xuan could say anything, Young Master Mo, who came out for some air, couldn't wait to shout.
"Walking to the Sea of Death! Walking to the Sea of Death!"
"The Dead Sea must be very interesting. Men should explore the most dangerous sea areas!"
The two twins beside him, named Mo Zuo and Mo You, quickly covered his mouth.
At this time, the twins' faces turned pale. Young Master Mo likes adventure, but they don't like adventure.
They have deep sea phobia and are very afraid of the dangers from the sea. It is for this reason that the head of the family sent the two of them as servants to Young Master Mo to restrain Young Master Mo's adventurous genes.
"You must not go to the Sea of Death! The Sea of Death is too dangerous. None of our five major families in Xinghai City dare to go to the Sea of Death!"
"Every ship that dared to challenge the Sea of Death sank without exception! It is a forbidden sea that humans cannot set foot in!" Mo Zuo shouted quickly. (End of chapter)
