CHAPTER 1201: CHAPTER 790: BITTER SEA AND THE GIANT SPIRIT RACE

Xiang Beifei followed Luo Shanyou’s voice, flying in the direction indicated, heading towards the mountains to the left for about a thousand miles. The ground began to rise, forming a huge slope, but after climbing about a thousand meters, a fault appeared ahead, like a cliff.

Ahead of the cliff was an enormous black water sphere, irregular yet massive. It stretched over an area of ten thousand square meters, like a vast lake suspended in mid-air!

"Uncle Luo, are you okay?" Xiang Beifei saw Luo Shanyou standing beside the cliff, staring at the black water sphere, and immediately felt relieved.

"I’m fine." Luo Shanyou shook his head.

"Why did Uncle Luo come here?" Li Qianluo inquired.

Luo Shanyou hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was strange, a certain aura attracted me, so I came here."

"What kind of aura attracted you?" Xiang Beifei frowned.

Li Qianluo said, "Uncle Luo, you can’t wander around. Common Valley is dangerous, and if an unknown aura attracts you, it might be a Void Beast, not something to joke about."

"It’s not a Void Beast; it’s—" Luo Shanyou pondered for a while and said, "It’s my soul."

"Soul? What’s wrong with Master Uncle’s soul?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"A mark on my soul! Daoist Qingde once left some special marks on my soul. I originally thought those marks were just for preserving some knowledge, but it seems that isn’t the case now." Luo Shanyou explained.

Xiaohei stood by the cliff, examining the enormous water sphere, and exclaimed in surprise, "This is Ruishui River!"

The lake water was black and possessed a chilling devouring strength. Within a radius of ten miles, it filled the air with oppressive energy, blocking many perceptions, which was why Xiang Beifei couldn’t locate Luo Shanyou earlier.

"Ruishui River, isn’t that a power of the Xuanming Tribe? This implies that the Xuanming Tribe once fought here." Li Qianluo remarked.

Xiang Beifei examined the strange, boundless black Ruishui water sphere before him, pondering.

This Ruishui was too peculiar, floating in the air as if an invisible force was enveloping it, keeping it suspended and preventing it from falling.

Moreover, Ruishui wasn’t static, but gently shaking, continuously undulating. This side bulging, that side sinking, like the rising and falling of tides.

Luo Shanyou turned his head, looking seriously at Xiang Beifei, saying, "I feel it’s your grandfather. It seems like Daoist Qingde—he’s right in there!"

"Impossible." Xiang Beifei shook his head, "My grandfather is in Jiuzhou, and he lost his memory."

He still remembered the last time he saw his grandfather was in Chou Hou, when preparing to leave Jiuzhou to come to this place, intending to start from Chou Hou. But later, his grandfather unexpectedly helped him a lot, and then departed.

"That was many years ago! Think about it, how many years have you been away from Jiuzhou?" Luo Shanyou prodded.

Xiang Beifei roughly calculated, realizing he had been away from Jiuzhou for too long, around eight or nine years. What had his grandfather been doing all these years, he did not know.

"If Grandpa actually came over, why wouldn’t he find us in the Human Race?" Xiang Beifei wondered.

This question left Luo Shanyou speechless; it was merely a feeling.

However, at this moment, Xiaohei spoke up, "Feifei, did you forget? Remember what the old Giant Spirit said to you at the Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave?"

Xiang Beifei slightly frowned.

The Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave was a very special place where the Giant Spirit Race lived. Strictly speaking, the Giant Spirit Race shouldn’t reside in the wilderness because of a powerful force that limits the species from reaching the Edge Corner Airspace.

The Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave had a strong sealing formation, ensuring the Giant Spirit Race wouldn’t be repelled by the wilderness.

"Giant Spirit Race? You entered the Giant Spirit Race?" Luo Shanyou asked.

"We laughed and chatted with the old Giant Spirit!" Xiaohei said.

"It’s rare; I thought the Giant Spirit Race was extinct." Luo Shanyou remarked with some surprise.

"They weren’t extinct, just saved by Grandpa. I remember the Giant Spirit Race was long suppressed in the Bitter Sea, seemed like it was the Yu Divine Stele that suppressed them here, but later the Yu Divine Stele was moved away." Xiang Beifei explained.

Li Qianluo said, "So, is this the Bitter Sea?"

"It’s possible." Xiang Beifei replied.

"But I never heard of the Bitter Sea in Common Valley! The Bitter Sea is the territory of the Xuanming Tribe, and that range is much stronger than this." Li Qianluo commented.

"Could it have been moved into Common Valley?" Xiaohei speculated.

He tilted his head and, puzzled, said, "Speaking of which, Feifei, do you find it strange?"

"What strange?"

"The words from the old Giant Spirit, his exact words were—That’s my hometown, and now I live here. If not forced, who would want to leave their homeland? I don’t dislike it, but also don’t want to mention it—"

Xiaohei mimicked the sturdy voice of the old Giant Spirit.

"The Giant Spirit Race was forced to leave their homeland! The Giant Spirit Race cannot return to the Edge Corner Airspace, right?" Xiaohei said.

Xiang Beifei understood, surprised, "I almost forgot this point."

"Why can’t the Giant Spirit Race return? Aren’t they a race of the Edge Corner Airspace?" Erha asked with confusion.

"It’s not that they can’t return; rather, the Heavenly Dao Laws prevent them from returning! I think someone must be utilizing the Heavenly Dao Divine Mark Laws to prevent the Giant Spirit Race from establishing themselves in the Edge Corner Airspace." Xiang Beifei explained.

Erha suddenly understood.

Ancestral artifact, a very powerful divine object. If someone possesses a certain ancestral artifact, sealing the Heavenly Dao Laws concerning the existence of the Giant Spirit Race, they can completely erase the Giant Spirit Tribe from the Edge Corner Airspace!
