"Elder Su, do you need my help? Among my Heavenly Saint Soldiers, some are skilled in tracking and searching for objects."
Jiang Yao volunteered.
After pondering for a moment, Su Changkong shook his head, "Mountain Leader Jiang, you’ve only recently broken through and need to stabilize your realm. As for tracking and searching... my Primordial Spirit is not bad."
Su Changkong did not allow Jiang Yao to accompany him; Jiang Yao had just advanced to the Divine Body Realm and was solidifying his own realm. Su Changkong preferred not to trouble others.
As for those Heavenly Saint Soldiers, with Su Changkong’s strength, unless they were in the Divine Body Realm, they wouldn’t be of much help to him. On the contrary, if danger arose, Su Changkong would have to worry about their safety.
In terms of tracking and searching, Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit could sense everything within a thousand li radius, certainly not inferior to Divine Skills!
Thus, Su Changkong decided to go to the Crescent Sea alone.
"Okay... If you encounter any trouble, feel free to communicate through the Identity Token. I’ll loan you this Breaking Wind Heavenly Boat for now, it should save you some time."
Jiang Yao nodded, aware of Su Changkong’s formidable strength, mysterious Divine Skills, and cultivated Primordial Spirit. He had even once directly chopped down a Divine Body powerhouse; even in danger, he could protect himself.
Jiang Yao then retrieved from his storage space a small boat engraved with Divine Patterns, the very same Breaking Wind Heavenly Boat he had used previously.
This Breaking Wind Heavenly Boat could travel at speeds comparable to a Divine Body powerhouse; not only was it an excellent transportation tool, but it also had protective restrictions, making it great for preserving life. It was also a treasured item bestowed upon Jiang Yao by his elders
"Thank you, Mountain Leader Jiang. I will take my leave now."
Su Changkong also accepted the Breaking Wind Heavenly Boat, eager to depart for the Crescent Sea.
Jiang Yao, understanding Su Changkong’s reason for leaving, did not hold him back.
Leaving Heavenly Saint Mountain, Su Changkong took out the Breaking Wind Heavenly Boat lent by Jiang Yao and activated it.
Instantly, the small boat’s surface flashed with Divine Patterns and rapidly expanded to a hundred meters in length. Su Changkong boarded the Heavenly Boat, propelling it into a streak of light that swiftly headed toward the Crescent Sea.
"Get to the Crescent Sea as quickly as possible; hope no one beats me to it."
Su Changkong thought to himself.
True Beasts—they were extremely rare and valuable from head to tail. Every time a True Beast appeared, it would become the target of numerous Saint Warriors.
Now that he had finally obtained news of a living True Beast, Su Changkong couldn’t help but make a trip to the Crescent Sea, even if he might end up empty-handed!
The Crescent Sea, separating the Dusty Sun Region from the Black Dragon Domain, was vast in area, challenging for ordinary people to cross.
It took Su Changkong four to five days on the Breaking Wind Heavenly Boat to reach the Crescent Sea.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!"
It was a sea as blue as a clear sky, where the sky and the ocean met, boundless with occasional winds that whipped up rolling waves.
"Such a vast sea... finding a True Beast hidden within is truly not an easy task!"
Su Changkong looked out at the sea before him, feeling somewhat amazed.
There was no choice; all Su Changkong could do was conduct a comprehensive search, slowly grinding away the time. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Whoosh!
Su Changkong flew slowly over the sea, spreading out waves of his Primordial Spirit like a radar, covering a thousand li radius—all within his scanning range!
Su Changkong sensed the surging waters and ’saw’ various Sea Beasts swimming in the ocean.
There were fish and shrimp, both large and small, all brimming with life.
"Are there others... who also received news of the True Beast’s presence, coming here to try their luck?"
Half a day later, within Su Changkong’s range of perception, he saw three Martial Artists, each dressed differently, sweeping over the sea surface, each focusing intently, sensing something.
Su Changkong realized in his heart that these three Saint Warriors’ goal was the same as his.
From this, it seemed the True Beast had not yet been caught by anyone else.
Without encountering other people, Su Changkong took the initiative to steer clear earlier and searched for the True Beast hiding within the Crescent Sea.
Time passed, minute by minute, and over ten days had passed since Su Changkong arrived at the Crescent Sea area.
"Still no sign of that True Beast... Could the beast possibly have the ability to conceal its aura?"
Su Changkong frowned, as during these ten days, he tirelessly searched the Crescent Sea region, continuously using his Primordial Spirit to sense, but to no avail.
The True Beast most likely possessed a natural talent or Divine Skills for concealing its aura!
This realization gave Su Changkong a headache. Given the vastness of the Crescent Sea and the beast’s ability to conceal its aura, finding it was indeed akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
"However, speaking of which, although I haven’t discovered the True Beast, there are quite a few Alien Beasts in the Crescent Sea."
A glint of surprise flashed through Su Changkong’s eyes, as within his Primordial Spirit’s perception, he noticed a giant octopus, about thirty meters long, slowly floating in the deep sea hundreds of miles away from him.
The giant octopus, with its huge body, created a suction force when it opened its mouth, drawing in small fish and shrimp nearby into its large mouth.
This was no ordinary sea creature, but an Alien Beast!
In the territory of the Great Flame Empire, Alien Beasts were extremely rare, scarcely found.
In the Crescent Sea, however, Alien Beasts were numerous. Firstly, ordinary Martial Artists couldn’t enter this sea area, making it difficult to hunt Alien Beasts. As for the Saint Warriors capable of hunting them, they barely paid any attention to Alien Beasts, not bothering to hunt them.
During this time, Su Changkong had discovered several Alien Beasts in the sea, but, of course, had no intention of hunting them. To him at that moment, Alien Beasts held no value.
"In the Great Flame Empire’s territory, Spirit Veins are rare, but in the Ancient Holy Country, they are commonplace. The Alien Beasts, scarce in the world, are also found in abundance in the Ancient Holy Country... This difference is indeed significant!"
Su Changkong inwardly sighed at the disparity between the two.
Composing himself, Su Changkong continued to fly back and forth over the Crescent Sea, searching for the traces of the True Beast, determined not to give up so easily!
While Su Changkong searched for the True Beast, others were also looking for its whereabouts.
At the edge of the Crescent Sea, three streaks of light flashed across the sky and slowly came to a stop. These were three individuals of varying appearances, two men and one woman.
Among them, the woman appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed in a bright red dress, with black hair cascading like a waterfall, her features delicate yet giving off a very dangerous aura.
"Master, it looks like we are not late, the True Beast probably hasn’t been caught by anyone else."
The woman in the red dress observed a group of Saint Warriors passing by in the distance and spoke softly.
The man known as the master, dressed in a blue robe, was a middle-aged muscular man with wild black hair and deep eyes that seemed to contain the abyss of the underworld, casting a glance at him could make one feel like falling into hell!
The middle-aged muscular man slightly nodded, "That True Beast is not low in intelligence, knowing that many are out to hunt it in the Crescent Sea, it has concealed itself. Unless it shows itself willingly, it would be difficult to find."
"Master, with your vast Divine Skills, you must have a way!"
Another person, a slender man in white, complimented sycophantically at that moment.
The middle-aged muscular man’s expression remained unchanged, calmly saying, "That True Beast has been attacked and is injured; it must be extremely hungry. Since that is the case, let’s offer it some food."
The middle-aged muscular man’s fierce eyes suddenly looked upward toward a location hundreds of miles away. There, two Saint Warriors were searching for the traces of the True Beast. They seemed to sense the gaze upon them and simultaneously showed a wary expression, looking in their direction.
From a hundred miles apart, the two sides stared at each other, but one of the men in green suddenly trembled, thinking something was amiss and quickly tried to avert his gaze, but it was too late!
The eyes of the middle-aged muscular man, like black holes, seemed to swallow their spirits, leaving them standing dumbly in the void, unable to even twitch!
