Chapter 1149 The Blue Shore KingdomChapter 1149 The Blue Shore Kingdom
Having crossed the Frozen Wasteland, the rest of the journey to the edge of the continent where the kingdom of the Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith was located went without any problems.
Along the way, both Xuan Hao and Yi Min took in the desolate environment beyond the Frozen Wasteland, as they were both left shocked by just how little qi was present on the other side, as it reached a point where even someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm could be considered the strongest person around, something unimaginable under normal circumstances.
It was also during the little under two weeks of travel after crossing the Frozen Wasteland that both of them realized that even with the lack of qi between heaven and earth, the number of people living on the edges of the continent where the qi was close to nonexistent was by no means small. Even when comparing to a kingdom like the Azure Sky Kingdom, there were quite a few kingdoms close to it in size.
Of course, compared to the Azure Sky Kingdom, these kingdoms were far weaker and at most had a few Peak Foundation Establishment Realm Experts at the helm, while in rare cases they would have an old ancestor who had barely broken through to the Core Formation Realm.
Out of everything they witnessed during their journey, they didn't encounter a single person who had managed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. On the contrary, the strongest person that they had encountered hadn't even reached the Peak of the Core Formation Realm and was instead an old man at the Seventh Stage of the Core Formation Realm, who had been hailed as a legendary immortal god by the kingdom he resided in and the surrounding kingdom due his age exceeding 500 years.
The main reason why he could live beyond the normal lifespan of a Core Formation Realm Expert was not because he had invented some kind of longevity method to increase his lifespan, but instead due to being lucky enough to find an interspatial ring of a powerful alchemist containing a dozen or so life extension pills that had increased his lifespan by a little over 500 hundred years.
Although there was only one pill left by the point Xuan Hao and Yi Min passed through his kingdom, both of them could not help lamenting over the wasted pills as they witnessed him swallowing the last one.
After all, life extension pills were incredibly difficult to create, even for someone in the Grandmaster Realm, let alone life extension pills that allowed one to increase one's lifespan by a few hundred years.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnfortunately, even after taking a quick detour to check on the interspatial ring of the Seventh Stage Core Formation Realm Expert with the life extension pills, there wasn't any recipe for the life extension pills and only a few pills that would help with increasing one's cultivation in the Core Formation Realm and a special pill for helping one breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm were left.
Given that the Star Shattering Sect didn't lack those kinds of pills and the fact that Yi Min didn't care about pills like that either, they ended up leaving them to the Core Formation Realm Expert who had managed to extend his lifespan by over five hundred years.
Maybe with the help of the pills, he could become the first person native to the edges of the continent who managed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
At least Xuan Hao and Yi Min didn't plan to take away his opportunity after realizing that there was nothing related to the life extension pills left, causing them to leave before the Core Formation Realm Expert even realized that his interspatial ring had disappeared.
Like this, both Xuan Hao and Yi Min arrived at the border of a small kingdom called the Blue Shore Kingdom, the kingdom where the Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith was located and also one of the only kingdoms on the continent that bordered the ocean.
The kingdom itself was not that big and only covered a small area that included the capital city and a dozen or so smaller cities that produced most of the food in the kingdom.
Even then, the Blue Shore Kingdom could be considered the most famous kingdom at the edges of the continent. Not only because it had existed for far longer than any other kingdom, but also because the qi between heaven and earth inside the small kingdom far exceeded that of the rest of the desolate area.
As a result of this, the number of cultivators present in the Blue Shore Kingdom was also far higher and also a place where immortal gods resided according to the locals. Of course, the so-called immortal gods were not like the Core Formation Realm Expert who had managed to get his hands on a few life extension pills, but were instead Nascent Soul Realm cultivators whose lifespan almost seemed endless in the eyes of the cultivators in the desolate area. After all, a Core Formation Realm Expert could at most live around 300 years under normal circumstances, while someone in the Nascent Soul Realm could easily live for 2000 years or longer.
However, Xuan Hao and Yi Min wasn't really here for the so-called immortal gods of the Blue Shore Kingdom and was instead there for the Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith who should be the person behind the existence of the Blue Shore Kingdom.
Although the locals didn't seem to know a lot about his existence from what Xuan Hao and Yi Min picked up along the way, they did hear a few legends about a mystical immortal that had descended in the past and established the Blue Shore Kingdom.
The only problem was that the Blue Shore Kingdom had been around for close to ten thousand years at this point in time. Resulting in the legends of what should have happened in the past being nothing more than an abstract fairy tale of mortals trying their best to describe the powers of a cultivator who should have at least reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Hm? This is…" "The qi…
Unexpectedly, after stepping inside the territory of the Blue Shore Kingdom, Xuan Hao and Yi Min were both surprised at the concentration of qi inside the kingdom. Not only was it superior to the normal environment found in the core region of the continent, but it could even be considered similar to the environment created inside some of the smaller cities in the Blue Sea Empire that had a qi gathering formation covering them.
Even if this would not normally be shocking considering that the Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith should have at least reached the Earth Immortal Realm, it had to be known that to increase the concentration of qi in one area, one had to draw it from somewhere.
In the cities of the Blue Sea Empire, the qi was drawn from the rich environment around them, while in the Star Shattering Sect, it was drawn from the chaotic qi above.
On the other hand, the qi in the Blue Shore empire was not drawn from the environment, let alone the chaotic qi that was far more difficult to refine.
"Where did the qi from this place come from?" Muttering this to herself as Xuan Hao put her down after they reached the Blue Shore Kingdom, Yi Min could not help curiously examining the formation covering the Blue Shore Kingdom.
After all, compared to Xuan Hao who was still in the Artisan Realm in terms of formations, Yi Min had already reached the Master Realm and had a far better understanding than him when it came to formations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhoosh~
It was also because of this, that Yi Min was the first to use her divine sense to probe into the formation. Attempting to find out where the qi inside the Blue Shore Kingdom had come from-
Rumble-!
However, the moment Yi Min used her divine sense to probe the formation covering the Blue Shore Kingdom, a change took place as a terrifying divine sense descended on both of them, causing Yi Min to quickly retract her divine sense while moving closer to Xuan Hao for protection.
Of course, compared to Yi Min who could only tell that the owner of the divine sense was far stronger than her, Xuan Hao could clearly tell that the owner of the divine sense was in the Earth Immortal Realm. Around the same level as Pei Yang before he was injured.
This must be the Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith Pei Yang mentioned…
Whoosh~
Realizing the identity of the person behind the divine sense, Xuan Hao wasted no time in taking out a small token that Pei Yang had handed him before he had left.
"This… Pei Yang's friends?"
Not a second later, an old voice echoed out in both Xuan Hao and Yi Min's ears as an old man flew over from the capital of the Blue Shore Kingdom and appeared in front of them with a bewildered expression on his face.
