Chapter 313: The Desire to Improve
Chapter 313: The Desire to Improve
Wu Yun Engraving, Qi Yuan was lost in a moment of contemplation.
The traces above were carefully noted by him.
"Are you saying that Luo Bufen has truly reached the Martial Arts Limit and shattered the void?" Han Xianyun stared at the traces left by Luo Bufen, her eyes wide with wonder.
Luo Bufen was the most recent recorded Martial Arts Limit breaker in history.
As a child, Han Xianyun greatly admired Luo Bufen and regarded him as an idol.
It could be said that many Martial Artists in the circle held deep respect for Luo Bufen.
"Perhaps he shattered the void, or perhaps... he's dead." Qi Yuan replied casually.
He recalled Yu Xiu, whom he had seen in the Execution Space.
Yu Xiu... was already a deceased person.
Thus, in this realm, there existed a netherworld.
Did Yu Xiu originate from the netherworld? Qi Yuan had many thoughts.
Regarding breaking the Martial Arts Limit, Qi Yuan already had an idea.
"It seems I should also prepare to break the Martial Arts Limit." Qi Yuan said earnestly.
"Huh? No, Mr. Qi, are you going to break the Martial Arts Limit?" Han Xianyun was bewildered.
After all, she had witnessed Qi Yuan's skills.
A Cultivator like him was akin to a deity.
Yet, he was about to attempt breaking through in Martial Arts.
Was this... a hobby?
Suddenly, he thought of Nan Shi Zhang Yang. Compared to Qi Yuan, Zhang Yang's hobby was not even close.
"Could it be that, seeing these traces on Wu Yun, you've gained some insight... Did you see something in Luo Bufen's traces and are now emulating him to break the Martial Arts Limit?"
Qi Yuan shook his head, "I won't emulate Luo Bufen. Firstly, I have no relatives, and secondly, his path isn't suitable for me.
The little treasure in the sea is more suited for me."
Han Xianyun's heart trembled.
A Cultivator was a Cultivator; he had discovered the way to break the Martial Arts Limit.
"Right, your family is so wealthy, can you lend me a yacht? I plan to go out to sea and seek an opportunity to break the Martial Arts Limit." Qi Yuan asked to borrow something.
His thick-skinned nature made him feel no burden in asking for things.
"Cough, I don't have a yacht." Han Xianyun replied awkwardly.
Although he was a second-generation heir, his life was not as comfortable as others.
His father had passed away early, and the power was already in the hands of his older brother.
Compared to ordinary citizens, his life was heavenly, but compared to other heirs, it was rather tight.
"However, Princess Huan Sha definitely has one!" Han Xianyun quickly said, "You can borrow it from her!"
"Princess Huan Sha has one?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up. He pondered, "I've protected her so well, if I borrow her yacht... she shouldn't refuse, right?"
Qi Yuan felt this matter was settled.
After all, he had protected Princess Huan Sha so attentively that he had almost halted her cell division.
This greatly enhanced her experience for over ten minutes.
Hearing this, Han Xianyun, standing beside him, was speechless.
Was this considered good protection?
Of course, he dared not refute Qi Yuan.
"Let's go, we'll find the princess and borrow the yacht." Qi Yuan led the way, heading back to where they came from.
At this moment, Han Xianyun felt a bit nervous.
He feared that the princess might become a pest and die.
If he remembered correctly, the pest had a long lifespan.
...
One day later.
The luxurious yacht sailed slowly.
The man stood on the yacht, his expression calm.
Princess Huan Sha stood behind the man, her eyes filled with reverence and awe.
The past ten minutes were undoubtedly the most extraordinary experience of her life.
Facing this mysterious man, she showed no arrogance, instead behaving like a servant.
"Hmm, let's head southwest." At this moment, Qi Yuan spoke.
Princess Huan Sha immediately ordered the intelligent robot to pilot the yacht as Qi Yuan instructed.
Instantly, the yacht sped southwest.
Qi Yuan stood on the yacht, his eyes fixed on the sea.
He was searching for the mutant sea monster he needed.
But in the past half-day, he had found almost nothing.
Mutant sea monsters were not easy to encounter.
Moreover, it had to be a mutant sea monster with the same bloodline as Qi Yuan, which made it even rarer.
At this moment, Qi Yuan transformed into a radar, constantly patrolling.
Princess Huan Sha's face was filled with curiosity, and she had many questions, but she was well-behaved and didn't ask.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan spoke, "Stop."
Princess Huan Sha acted like a pilot, ordering the intelligent robot to halt the yacht.
She looked at Qi Yuan with curiosity.
At this moment, a crimson blade appeared in Qi Yuan's hand.
"Out!"
As Qi Yuan's voice rang out, the crimson blade shot into the sea.
Princess Huan Sha's eyes widened at the sight.
Finally, she witnessed Qi Yuan's move... and this crimson blade... was it?
Her gaze towards Qi Yuan changed, and she looked at him with reverence, as if he were a deity.
After sheathing the blade, Qi Yuan sat calmly on the yacht.
"It's actually over ten thousand meters deep, looks like we'll have to wait a while."
The mutated sea monster that Qi Yuan had discovered was located over ten thousand meters beneath the ocean's surface.
This depth was incredibly frightening.
On Blue Star, the immense pressure would be enough to tear apart any human submarine.
Even though Gong Xing's technology was slightly more advanced than Blue Star's, diving over ten thousand meters deep still presented a significant challenge.
For example, Princess Huan Sha's home country, Liulishu Kingdom, despite pooling all its resources, was unable to create a submarine capable of diving over ten thousand meters deep.
At this moment, Qi Yuan's target was located over ten thousand meters below the ocean's surface.
At this very moment, on the ocean floor ten thousand meters deep, a broken piece of wood was strangely stained with fresh blood.
Numerous peculiar stones were covered in various bloodstains, as if time itself couldn't wash away the traces of blood.
A bloated mutated sea monster's corpse lay quietly at the bottom of the ocean, encased within a transparent crystal.
It was as if the monster had been sealed within.
The crimson longsword flickered, and the transparent crystal containing the mutated sea monster's corpse rose from the depths of the ocean.
On the yacht, Qi Yuan was astonished, "It seems my luck is high in this game. I've encountered an incredible sea monster right away."
"Game? What game are you talking about?" Princess Huan Sha asked curiously.
"I mean, your world is a game I like to play, and I'm a gamer."
Princess Huan Sha was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Mr. Qi, you're quite the joker."
Even if Qi Yuan was a cultivator, it didn't mean everything he said was true.
"I never joke around," Qi Yuan smiled and didn't continue the conversation on this topic.
The people in this world were merely NPCs.
Soon, the ocean ahead stirred up a wave.
A crimson shadow flashed by, and the crimson blade landed on the yacht, carrying a transparent crystal.
The crystal was approximately one meter tall, long, and wide, forming a perfect cube.
Inside the crystal was the corpse of a peculiar three-finned, two-finned fish with three eyes.
The fish's eyes were still open, and one could see human emotions in them—anger and unwillingness.
[Muris Vicious Fish King, a Martial Excellence-level fish with a terrifying bloodline. It once swallowed two thousand people from a small town and was sealed here.]
Qi Yuan's eyes instantly revealed various information.
His throat twitched, and he felt a thirst, wanting to open the crystal and drink the fish's blood.
Princess Huan Sha looked at the fish with a hint of fear in her eyes, "It's a mutated sea monster... It looks so disgusting."
As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run, right?
Nowadays, this saying is outdated. Princess Huan Sha hadn't seen a mutated sea monster, but she had eaten one.
On Blue Star, many city dwellers had eaten pork but never seen a pig run.
"This is a significant harvest, and moreover..." Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled with laughter, "...it's the best bait."
Qi Yuan took out a fishing line and wrapped it around the transparent crystal.
Qi Yuan was greedy.
This mutated sea monster was estimated to be enough for him to break through to the Martial Arts Limit.
But since it was so rare to go out to sea, why not earn more? After all, on the path of martial arts, bloodlines needed to be continuously replenished.
He used the fishing line to wrap around the transparent crystal and then made a tiny hole in it with his blood sword.
The fishing line pierced through the crystal and into the mutated sea monster's body.
In a 1619 book, a 11916 version, a 1919 edition, and a 1916 edition, there was not a single mistake!
This mutated sea monster hadn't awakened yet, still seemingly in a deep slumber.
"That's enough, let's go fishing!"
Qi Yuan was delighted and tossed the mutated sea monster directly into the sea.
"Using your ancestor as bait, you'll surely take the bait, won't you?"
The path of blood martial arts lies in devouring.
With a slumbering ancestor as bait, those mutated sea monsters would surely swarm here.
After all, they were too eager to improve.
After setting the bait, Qi Yuan sat down and continued his cultivation.
He only needed to wait for the mutated sea monsters eager for progress to deliver themselves to his door.
"An illusory world, a boring leisure game... I'd rather kill, kill, kill!" Qi Yuan sighed.
Knowing how to play was part of everyday life.
But after meeting Yu Xiu, he had a premonition that he would soon be able to open the map and start killing.
About an hour later, Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled with laughter, "Finally, they're here."
His eyes seemed to see through the ocean's surface, and he pointed sharply.
From the seawater, a mutated sea monster resembling a fish was flung onto the yacht.
Qi Yuan's eyes shone with pride, "Considering how eager you are to improve, after you die, I'll scatter your ashes in the sea, allowing you to return to your homeland."
Qi Yuan increasingly felt like a good person.
He was also very generous to those who wanted to improve.
He squeezed his hand, and the mutated sea monster suddenly exploded.
A drop of blood oozed from the monster's body, and the rest of it turned into a pile of flesh.
Qi Yuan's hand flicked, and a flame rose.
The flesh, now cooked by the flame, turned to dust.
"I always keep my word. I never deceive sea monsters," Qi Yuan said, tossing the dust into the sea.
But he swallowed that drop of blood.
"Hmm... My martial talent has increased, but... the plateau... It's still a bit far off," Qi Yuan thought, wishing he had a status panel to conveniently track his progress.
With a status panel, he could monitor his advancement at all times and significantly boost his cultivation speed.
As time passed, Qi Yuan encountered more and more mutated sea monsters.
On the first day, there were eighteen of them.
The next day, the number of sea monsters increased to one hundred and thirty.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "In this world, there are so many who strive for progress."
As time went by, Qi Yuan caught more and more mutated sea monsters, and their arrival rate kept increasing.
Meanwhile, on the sea, a huge yacht appeared.
The owner of the yacht was a pair of siblings, accompanied by about a dozen rich second-generation heirs.
At this moment, a man in black stood by the railing, gazing at the sea, as if recalling something.
The owner of the yacht, Liu Yu, approached with grace. She looked at the man in black with curiosity.
This man in black was the one they had found in the sea.
According to the man in black, he had been swimming and encountered some problems.
Eventually, the siblings rescued him, and he woke up.
"Chen Fan, you seem to be frowning. Are you unhappy?" Liu Yu asked curiously, admiring Chen Fan's handsome face.
The man before her was young, but he exuded a cynical aura.
Liu Yu, who always liked refined men, smiled.
"I have something to ask... Miss Liu, could you please steer the yacht in the direction I indicate? I have an urgent matter to attend to!" Chen Fan's eyes seemed to see through the sea, and he spotted a mutated sea monster.
During this time, he had seen many mutated sea monsters heading towards a specific location.
He had an ominous premonition.
"This..." Liu Yu was slightly taken aback.
Their yacht trip was planned.
Now, hearing Chen Fan's request to change course...
But seeing Chen Fan's handsome face, Liu Yu smiled. "It's fine."
"Thank you." Chen Fan bowed in gratitude, appearing quite principled.
About three hours passed.
At this moment, Qi Yuan sat on the yacht, a satisfied look in his eyes.
Today, he had caught two hundred mutated sea monsters.
The blood he obtained kept increasing.
At this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Even sea monsters are so diligent in their efforts. With such determination, how can I afford to be lazy?"
Just then, Princess Huan Sha approached, "Qi Yuan, a yacht nearby is signaling us. They say it's an urgent matter."
"Oh?" Qi Yuan looked up and immediately spotted the yacht in the distance.
He instantly noticed the man in black on the yacht.
He smelled the death aura emanating from the man.
"Yu Xiu... A similar person?" Qi Yuan wondered curiously.
If it were anyone else, he might have directly refused.
But for someone like Yu Xiu, he was very curious.
"Let's meet."
"Okay."
About ten minutes passed.
Liu Yu and her brother accompanied the man in black, Chen Fan, onto Princess Huan Sha's yacht.
Liu Yu had a pistol tucked into her waist, just in case.
Seeing that there was only one man and one woman on the yacht, Liu Yu's vigilance eased.
This couple looked like a pair of rich second-generation youngsters out on a honeymoon trip.
At this moment, Chen Fan spoke, his eyes cold as he looked at Qi Yuan and then at the sea, "Are you fishing?"
Qi Yuan smiled, "If I answer your question, will you answer mine? That's only fair."
Qi Yuan's words made Chen Fan pause.
He had encountered all sorts of people, but this was the first time he met someone who spoke like this.
"Okay," he said after a moment of silence, nodding.
"Now it's my turn. How do we enter your world?" Qi Yuan asked casually, stretching his waist.
Chen Fan's expression changed slightly.
Liu Yu and her brother, as well as Princess Huan Sha, were puzzled, not understanding what Qi Yuan meant.
But at this moment, Chen Fan glanced at Qi Yuan, "You won't want to enter. It's a deadly..."
