NOVPUBJiang Yuanwu had invited only capable peers of equal strength for this hunt of Demon Monsters, among them Su Changkong, albeit only a Martial Saint of the Divine Seed realm who possessed a Primordial Spirit, had managed to kill or defeat Divine Body experts, making him slightly superior to Jiang Yao; Jiang Yao, who had forged his Divine Body not many years ago, cultivated some of the most Unparalleled Techniques, and his strength was not to be underestimated!
Besides them, the brothers Jiang Po and Jiang Yu were also Divine Body Martial Saints with impressive combat capabilities. This small team, though few in number, was undoubtedly elite.
As for Jiang Yuanwu himself, he was among the top-ranked Divine Body Martial Saints of the Jiang family, with a chance to develop Great Divine Powers in the future!
Jiang Yuanwu had truly exhausted his efforts in hunting that Demon Monster.
"Now that everyone is here, let’s set off first and discuss the situation on the road."
Jiang Yuanwu spoke.
After the gathering, a group of five people, led by Jiang Yuanwu, headed south.
On the way, Jiang Yao couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Yuanwu, where exactly is that Demon Monster?"
Previously, Jiang Yuanwu had only informed them of the discovery of the Demon Monster’s hiding place, but to prevent any leaks, he did not reveal the exact location to anyone.
Jiang Yuanwu’s expression became grave, "It’s in the Ancient Sea."
"The Ancient Sea?"
This term made everyone momentarily stunned.
Even Su Changkong had heard of this place.
The Ancient Sea was the largest sea area of the Ancient Holy Country, spanning several domains, with most of its expanse outside the boundaries of the Ancient Holy Country. Compared to it, the Crescent Sea Region seemed like the difference between a small pond and a vast ocean!
This made Jiang Po, one of the Jiang brothers, couldn’t help but say, "Such a vast Ancient Sea, if we do not know the specific location where the Demon Monster is hiding, it’s likely impossible to find it."
The vastness of the Ancient Sea made finding a hidden Demon Monster almost like searching for a needle in a haystack!
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanwu smiled, "I’ve already considered this. This Demon Monster had previously appeared within the Holy Emperor Region and even slaughtered a Warrior Sect. Although it conducted its deeds clandestinely, Monster Qi residue was still left behind. I have collected this Monster Qi and created a Tracking Treasure from it."
Jiang Yuanwu said, reaching out and retrieving a fist-sized transparent Crystal Stone, within which a strand of pitch-black gas moved as if alive.
This black gas squirmed, striving to break the bounds of the Crystal Stone, pointing in a direction just like swallows longing to return to the forest.
Though it was just a visual observation, Su Changkong could sense how deep and powerful this aura was, instinctively inducing a palpable sense of apprehension in the observer—illustrating how formidable the owner of this gas must be!
Without a doubt, this was the Monster Qi Jiang Yuanwu had mentioned collecting.
"This strand of Monster Qi has formed a link with the Demon Monster itself. With its help, we can locate the Demon Monster in the Ancient Sea and then eliminate it."
Jiang Yuanwu said with a resolute gaze.
Everyone nodded slightly, thinking that what they could consider, Jiang Yuanwu had naturally already thought of.
Jiang Yuanwu had collected this strand of Monster Qi to track the movements of the Demon Monster and could also estimate the creature’s strength level from the quality of the Monster Qi, which is why he gathered the Divine Body experts of the Jiang family for this hunt.
Otherwise, without knowing the opponent’s actual strength, venturing forth would be far too risky. Jiang Yuanwu felt that judging by the quality of the Monster Qi, they stood a fair chance against it!
Of course, the reality would only be known when faced with the Demon Monster.
"I wonder if Jiang Yuanwu has a method against the Monster Soul imprint…"
Su Changkong silently pondered. He knew well that real Demon Monsters possessed an innate talent for mutual destruction, embedding Monster Soul imprints within their enemies upon killing them.
Regarding the Monster Soul imprint, the Jiang family’s Ancient Scriptures surely contained records, and Jiang Yuanwu, being aware, likely had a countermeasure—such as severely wounding the Demon Monster and letting others execute the kill, which was the simplest method!
After several days of flying, the group of five entered the Ancient Sea.
The Ancient Sea was vast and immense, connecting several domains.
Once within the range of the Ancient Sea, Jiang Yuanwu looked at the Crystal Stone in his hand, where the imprisoned Monster Qi was tumbling more violently, pointing in a direction—indicating the Demon Monster was indeed within the Ancient Sea.
"With this strand of Monster Qi, we will definitely find that Demon Monster!"
Jiang Yuanwu and the other four navigated through the Ancient Sea.
The Ancient Sea was extremely vast, and even with Monster Qi guiding them, finding a hidden Demon Monster was not easy, until five days had passed.
Five days later, at a depth of ten thousand meters beneath the Ancient Sea, Su Changkong and the other four moved freely.
Jiang Yuanwu and his companions, being Divine Body Martial Saints, were naturally unaffected by the pressure, while Su Changkong, proficient in the Turtle Breath Technique and Giant Whale Skill, found moving under the sea as natural as a fish in water.
"It’s amazing… these fish and shrimp are just ordinary animals, yet they move freely in this deep sea."
Jiang Yao watched the marine life at a depth of ten thousand meters, feeling quite amazed.
The deep sea was an absolute death zone, where the pressure was enough to completely destroy steel armor, yet these ordinary marine animals managed to thrive.
Su Changkong naturally understood that this was due to the different physical structures of their bodies, allowing them to withstand such pressures.
"Be careful, the Monster Qi in this Crystal Stone has become turbid and chaotic; we might have already neared the location of that Demon Monster."
At this moment, Jiang Yuanwu vibrated with Spiritual Energy, transmitting a solemn voice.
