NOVPUBEveryone also noticed that within the Crystal Stone Jiang Yuanwu was holding, the wisp of Monster Qi had become restless. It no longer pointed in a single direction but rolled about chaotically as if it were struggling to escape the binding of the Crystal Stone. This indicated that they were getting close to the location of the Demon Monster.
"Elder Su, please take care of this."
Jiang Yuanwu said.
"Mm."
Su Changkong nodded, understanding Jiang Yuanwu’s meaning.
Whoosh!
With a slight motion of his mind, Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit’s fluctuations spread out, instantly engulfing an area of thousands of miles.
"Is this the mystery of the Primordial Spirit? With a single thought, it can perceive the movements within thousands of miles!"
The Jiang brothers were secretly astonished, feeling a faint wave, nearly imperceptible, sweeping over their bodies.
Using the spread of the Primordial Spirit’s fluctuations to probe was like using radar, no less effective than other Divine Skills specialized in exploration.
"We will slowly search the area, and sooner or later, we will find the whereabouts of that Demon Monster."
Jiang Yuanwu declared.
The group stayed close together without spreading out, as it was too dangerous to act alone in case the Demon Monster appeared!
"Strange... I keep feeling restless!"
Su Changkong’s face remained expressionless as he continued to scan the surroundings with his Primordial Spirit, but gradually, his brows furrowed.
It was because Su Changkong suddenly felt a disturbing sense of unease, like an impending danger.
With Su Changkong’s Cultivation level, such feelings wouldn’t arise suddenly; it felt more like an instinctive premonition!
"Monster Soul Mark, the Monster Soul Mark inside me is as if it has come to life!"
Deep in the Sea of Consciousness, the imprinted Monster Soul Mark, which clung to him like a bone worm and was difficult to expel, was constantly drawing upon Su Changkong’s life force to fuel its growth. Yet due to Su Changkong’s rapid progress and the Heaven Silkworm Divine Technique, a balance had been maintained, so in the short term, it wasn’t much of a threat.
But now, the Monster Soul Mark, as if sensing something, had activated, even accelerating the rate at which it drained Su Changkong’s life force! It seemed to be warning him!
"The Demon Monster... in that direction!"
Su Changkong sensed something, felt the direction of resonance with the Monster Soul Mark hundreds of miles away, where there was nothing but calm seawater and seabed mountains within the coverage of his Primordial Spirit. Yet the response from the Monster Soul Mark made him realize that the Demon Monster was likely in that location, possessing some Divine Skill to conceal its aura.
Su Changkong had to concentrate the power of his Primordial Spirit, making preparations to discover the whereabouts within a certain range!
"Strange... why would the Monster Soul Mark warn me?"
Su Changkong was somewhat puzzled; the Monster Soul Mark, which would rather drain all his life force, was suddenly reacting violently, appearing to warn him, which baffled Su Changkong.
"Mm?"
Out in the seawater hundreds of miles away, an invisible shadow barely detectable by Divine Skills was slowly approaching Su Changkong and the others; yet, it subtly emitted a suspicious sound, as if it also sensed the existence of the Monster Soul Mark in Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness!
"Not right... the resonance generated by the Monster Soul Mark is from two directions, one is from that hidden Demon Monster, and the other... is coming from Jiang Yuanwu nearby!"
Su Changkong’s pupils slightly constricted, feeling the sudden intense reaction of the Monster Soul Mark, one targeting miles away suspected Demon Monster and the other pointing towards Jiang Yuanwu nearby.
"Be cautious of Jiang Yuanwu!"
Though puzzled, without any hesitation, Su Changkong instantaneously used the fluctuations of his Primordial Spirit to convey this message to Jiang Yao, Jiang Po, Jiang Yu, and the others.
"Be cautious of Jiang Yuanwu?"
This voice directly resonated within Jiang Yao and the others’ minds, leaving them momentarily baffled, completely unable to grasp the logic behind Su Changkong’s warning.
This caused subtle changes in their expressions, some looking towards Su Changkong and others towards Jiang Yuanwu.
Jiang Yuanwu, who appeared normal earlier, also frowned slightly as the atmosphere suddenly turned strangely tense.
"Everyone, what’s the matter? Did you discover something?"
Jiang Yuanwu, keenly aware of the extra hint of wariness in the eyes of Su Changkong and the others and the flow of Divine Patterns in their tensed bodies, responded with readiness to activate his Divine Skills.
"Elder Su... what exactly is going on?"
Jiang Yao asked with a voice filled with shock and confusion.
Although unclear why Su Changkong instructed theminary.
*****
Su Changkong’s brows were tightly furrowed, silent, his mind filled with astonishment: "The Monster Soul Mark just issued a warning... does Jiang Yuanwu also have a Monster Soul Mark inside him?"
The sudden alert from the Monster Soul Mark came from two directions, one from a distant hidden Demon Monster and the other from Jiang Yuanwu.
Because it seemed that Jiang Yuanwu also had something similar to a Monster Soul Mark inside him.
"You..." And at that moment, Jiang Yuanwu also seemed to sense something, his eyes flashing with shock.
"Something is approaching!"
Jiang Po and Jiang Yu, who were about to question, were suddenly alarmed when they felt the waters afar becoming murky. It seemed a terrifying Prehistoric Savage Beast was swimming rapidly in their direction.
A sensation of dread, filled with destruction and devastation, rendered the seabed even darker!
It was the Demon Monster; aware that its whereabouts had been exposed, it no longer hid and converged its aura, rushing rapidly towards them!
