434: Chapter 92 Divine Shade Land_1 434: Chapter 92 Divine Shade Land_1 “How big is the Forest Sea Source Realm?”
“No one knows its boundary.”
“What about Divine Shade Land?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
“Does the Hidden Snake possess wisdom?”
“In a group of snakes, only the serpent king possesses wisdom.”
“You said you Holy Tribe samurai hunt Hidden Snakes for food, right?”
“Hidden Snakes are highly venomous, eating them would kill you.” Qing Qishu gave Jiang Wang an odd look and continued, “We hunt Hidden Snakes to skin them for Hidden Clothes.
The invisibility of the Hidden Snakes is entirely due to their skin.
Wearing such clothes allows one to hide their tracks just like the Hidden Snakes, greatly improving survivability and reducing casualties.”
Jiang Wang was quite moved; he had witnessed the stealth of the Hidden Snakes himself.
They truly made no sound and produced no energy fluctuations, making them very difficult to detect.
“Then why weren’t you wearing Hidden Clothes when I saw you?”
“…We don’t have any.”
Jiang Wang imdiately understood, all the talk about Holy Tribe samurai frequently hunting Hidden Snakes was apparently just boasting.
“Even if there are Hidden Clothes among the Holy Tribe, there can’t be many in stock.
At least these two samurai, Qing Qishu and Qing Jiuye, haven’t been issued any.”
“Have you ever seen an emissary of the Dragon God before?”
“…The last ti an emissary of the Dragon God descended was a thousand years ago.”
“Then your grandfather must have seen them, right?” Jiang Wang explained, “I’m afraid you might mistake soone else for one.”
“Maybe my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather saw them, but it’s too far in the past to rember clearly.
I’d have to go back and check the books.”
Jiang Wang then understood that the so-called “Holy Tribe” still has its own lifespan limitations.
“Has anyone seen them, then?
How will you determine whether or not I am an emissary of the Dragon God when the ti cos?”
Faced with certain questions, Qing Jiuye was very cautious, “Naturally, we have our thods.”
As the three of them moved through the shadows cast by the giant trees, Qing Qishu, possibly too bored, seed eager to try: “If you have any questions, you might as well ask .
I actually know much more than Jiuye!”
“Is the wound on your chest healed?”
Qing Qishu: …
He looked down at the transparent gash: “It’ll take so more ti.”
“Do you have an immortal body?”
“…No.”
“Then how can one die?”
Qing Qishu stopped talking.
Jiang Wang then turned to look at Qing Jiuye on his right, particularly noting the green leaf hanging over his brow: “Is that leaf stuck on?”
“…No.”
Jiang Wang was even more surprised: “Were you born with it?”
“…Granted through Divine Shade rituals.”
“Aha…” Apparently unable to take it anymore, Qing Qishu picked up his pace and moved ahead: “I’ll check out the situation up ahead.”
Jiang Wang tilted his head: “Why does he always say ‘aha’?
Is he trying to be cute?”
Although Qing Jiuye was also speechless, he is by nature a stickler for rules, and since he was the one who invited Jiang Wang, he still answered everything asked, “…Only those favored by the Dragon God can use that verbal tic.”
“Then why don’t you use it?
Are you not favored?”
Qing Jiuye said no more.
He indeed had not received the favor of the Dragon God; he truly wasn’t worthy.
Jiang Wang clicked his tongue in pity.
He had hoped to pry more information, but it seed that was as far as he could go.
The reason he had been asking provocative questions, leaving them speechless, was actually to prevent himself from revealing too much information.
To avoid being questioned, he took the initiative.
He did not know whether he was so sort of emissary of the Dragon God; he didn’t even know who the Dragon God was.
But if the Seven-Star Tower had brought him to the Forest Sea Source Realm because he was “chosen” in so sense, then he might truly have a connection to the emissary of the Dragon God.
In other words, did the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower have a relationship with the Forest Sea Source Realm a thousand years ago?
However, the history of the Tian family’s exploration of the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower only spanned a few hundred years at most, three hundred years at the outside.
The more mysterious this place was, the more satisfied Jiang Wang beca.
Because the more it was so, the more likely the longevity treasures he sought could be realized.
Qing Qishu and Qing Jiu Ye led the way, probably because it was getting dark, they quickened their pace.
As he kept up, Jiang Wang made considerable effort to rember the way back,
In this endless forest sea, it was already quite difficult to discern the directions of north and south.
These giant trees one after another had no markings to speak of.
Jiang Wang’s choice was to scan his field of view for the most unusual-looking trees and use them as markers.
Then he would connect these “markers” into a route.
It was almost with the sa attitude one would use to explore the Five Mansions Sea amidst the fog of ignorance.
If anything happened, he at least wanted to know which way to run.
Only fools would entrust their safety to others in an unfamiliar land.
Running at an extrely fast pace, Jiang Wang estimated that about an hour later, they arrived in front of an especially mammoth tree.
Jiang Wang was completely unfamiliar with the species of this tree.
Throughout his journey in this endless forest, it remained unique.
The bark was in huge round chunks and was not rough but rather smooth, giving a very solid impression, while the edges of the bark were very sharp.
If he had to give an example, Jiang Wang thought it resembled enlarged fish scales.
And in the realm of mythology…
dragon scales were said to be like this.
This tree was extrely tall and vast.
Looking up, one could not see the top.
By the girth of the tree, it was ten tis thicker than the other giant trees around it.
The tree itself was like a city wall.
There was a mont when standing in front of this tree that Jiang Wang seed to have the illusion of being back under the walls of Linyi City.
“This is the Divine Dragon Wood,” Qing Jiu Ye said from the side.
The tree-pattern on Qing Qishu’s forehead emitted a green light, which naturally rged into the Divine Dragon Wood.
Then he took the lead, his tree form rippling like water, and walked straight into the Divine Dragon Wood.
Jiang Wang was very clear in his feeling that this Divine Dragon Wood was definitely not so blindness spell, but a real existence.
The ancient and tiless aura couldn’t fool anyone, nor was it easily concealed.
“Co in, this is the Divine Shade Land,”
said Qing Jiu Ye, stepping in before him.
He seed completely unconcerned about whether Jiang Wang would follow him or not.
And at this mont in the Forest Sea Source Realm, the faint celestial light filtering through the leaves was nearly gone, and night was probably about to fall.
Based on the information obtained so far, the only human race that could communicate and exist in the Forest Sea Source Realm was in the Divine Shade Land.
To beco enemies with them was clearly very irrational.
If one were to beco enemies with the “Holy Tribe,” it would be very difficult to leave the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower, let alone gain anything from it.
On the other hand, since nurous people were able to co out of the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower every year, it ant that there couldn’t be too many unsolvable situations occurring.
Most importantly, as the night approached, Jiang Wang indeed sensed so sort of terrifying presence.
He did not know what it was, but he instinctively absolutely did not want to encounter it.
Therefore, the Divine Shade Land was the only choice for now.
Jiang Wang prepared for battle and followed closely behind, stepping into the Divine Dragon Wood.
The scene before him suddenly brightened!
It was as if this was another world.
Unlike the dim overtones of the external environnt of the Forest Sea Source Realm, the Divine Shade Land was fresh and bright.
What he saw before him was open and vast.
The grass was like a green carpet, and the sky was clear.
Several small Divine Dragon Woods were spread far apart across the field.
They were spaced widely apart from each other, not interfering with each other’s light and nutrients.
And on each Divine Dragon Wood, there were large fruits hanging.
Three, two, five—different numbers of them.
Those fruits were squarely shaped, with doors and windows, and people were seen moving about inside, from where peaceful sounds erged.
They were clearly natural houses made from the fruits.
Qing Qishu stood under one of the Divine Dragon Woods, waving at him.
“You’ve co!”
Jiang Wang looked up at the sky.
The sky also had a star hanging—unpredictable Honesty, also known as the Yuheng Star.
