”It's nothing. This is the talent of our Merfolk. We can communicate with our own race, and anyone who is in the sea will be able to hear it.”
With that, the mermaid smiled and said, ”I know about the Heavenly Flames. They are in the First Island, and although they are secretive, our Mermaid race can hear the voices of everyone on the ocean. Some of us have also heard them, but none have obtained the Heavenly Flames yet, making it difficult to obtain them.”
The mermaid saw Jiu Mu Li's surprise and explained.
”Then what happened?”
”In the First Island, there is an inheritance site, there is a fire inside, it's just that only the cultivators of the Sea of Nine Serenities are allowed to enter, outsiders are not allowed to enter, from what I see, you are not a cultivator from the Sea of Nine Serenities, I'm afraid there might be trouble.”
The mermaid said, feeling a little worried. Because the cultivators of Sea of Nine Serenities were infected with the aura of the Sea of Nine Serenities, they carried the aura of death with them, making them easy to recognize.
Jiu Mu Li frowned, he thought for a moment, then laughed: ”It's fine, don't worry, I won't barge in, but why haven't the Sea of Nine Serenities cultivators been taken away for so long?”
”The inheritance grounds are opened once every three years, and there is a restriction to one's cultivation base. If one's cultivation is too low, they cannot enter, and if one's cultivation is too low, they cannot go near it. Thus, they have always been stored inside.”
The Mermaid had received the information carefully. She added on, ”But there are still about ten days before the opening of the Underground of Legacy. You want to go?”
”For the time being, I'm not certain. After all, my cultivation is not sufficient either.”
Jiu Mu Li was in a difficult situation, she was not sure what kind of situation she would encounter, and could only wait to see what Qin Zheng's intentions were. Thinking about it, she could not help but ask the mermaid, where the First Island was.
”First Island is very easy to find, go directly south, the biggest island is it, it's very conspicuous.”
The mermaid said, apologizing, ”My apologies, my people are here to fetch me. I'm leaving.”
”Ah, really?”
Jiu Mu Li was shocked, then laughed: Then you have to leave quickly, you're too weak, next time don't go wandering around.
”Mm, thank you.”
As the mermaid spoke, she transformed into a ray of light and dove into the sea, riding on the waves as she left gradually. From afar, Jiu Mu Li could even see the beautiful water line and the mermaids waving continuously as they said their goodbyes.
”Take care.”
Jiu Mu Li thought in her heart, and suddenly felt that she was unwilling to part with him. This was the first time she had met such an extraordinary mermaid ever since she entered this world.
It wasn't that her appearance was different from others, but that her opponent was pure and kind, just like people in her previous life. It made her feel very close to him.
In the world of cultivators, fighting and killing was normal, no matter who it was, they would always be full of cunning, which made her feel really disgusted, but she had no choice. She was worried that one day, she would also become a cold and emotionless cultivator, and only an existence like the mermaid would remind her that she was still the Jiu Mu Li from before.
After the Mermaid left, the unknown island returned to its tranquil state.
Jiu Mu Li, on the other hand, was stuck in a dilemma. She wanted to obtain the Heavenly Flame urgently, but looking at it now, it would probably not be so easy to sneak into the First Island. An inheritance place, one did not even need to think to know how valuable it was, the spots would definitely be extremely precious.
But just as Jiu Mu Li was hesitating, he heard Qin Zheng say in a cold voice, ”Go, let's go to First Island.”
”If we really do go, I'm afraid we won't be welcome.”
”So what?!”
Qin Zheng coldly glanced at Jiu Mu Li and said: ”If I want to go, they won't dare to object.”
Those who had disagreed with him in the past were all dead.
Jiu Mu Li was speechless, she did not want to use too much of Qin Zheng's strength, so she could only rely on herself, causing her cultivation to be unable to progress.
Without wasting any time, the two of them quickly left. Jiu Mu Li allowed Qin Zheng to lead the way as they rushed in the direction of the First Island.
The First Island was very far away from where he currently was. If one were to talk about seeing a dead horse on the mountain, the First Island and the rest had been flying for four hours and they had not even seen a shadow of him.
However, when the cultivators sensed Qin Zheng's Qi, their faces all changed, and did not dare to take the initiative to provoke him.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Qin Zheng did not continue to travel, but found a deserted island, and landed at the beach. Qin Zheng quietly trained at the side, obviously the journey had consumed a lot of energy.
After Jiu Mu Li saw this, he did not say much and draped a few branches over his shoulders and started a bonfire.
The scarlet red fire rose, illuminating the surrounding thirty meters of land. It also allowed their line of sight to return to light, allowing Jiu Mu Li to feel at ease.
After getting used to Qin Zheng's taciturn attitude, Jiu Mu Li did not chat with him anymore. Instead, he quietly gazed into the distance, his mind a little distant.
The night sky of the Sea of Nine Serenities was just like the night sky of the Qin Nation, bright and resplendent twelve Star River soared high up into the sky, speckling with twinkling stars, just like a mischievous elf. Only, from here, it looked even clearer than the night sky of the Jiuhua Hall, because the sky was clearer than that place.
Other than this, what surprised Jiu Mu Li the most was the endless ocean. Even though it was pitch black at the moment, there were still specks of light floating on the surface of the sea from time to time.
”Is it a glowing fish, or a Siren, or a Cultivator?”
Jiu Mu Li was unable to determine that, but those specks of light were like fireflies in the dark night, distinct and dotted on the vast ocean surface, causing the Sea of Nine Serenities s at night to look like black amber that glowed with light, making them seem even more magnificent.
