chapter 2145 news of the heavenly netherworld vermillion fruit

the martial heaven sea-ring was a danger zone, but the experts of the continent had to come into contact with it more than they wished. however, those who knew much about it were few.

no one knew for sure what lay in the depths of the sea. all they knew was that the martial heaven sea-ring was filled with terrifying sea demons.

furthermore, every now and then, a sea demon tide would come from it. sea demons would charge onto the continent. only during that time could the continent’s experts slaughter those sea demons without drawing attacks from the stronger sea demons.

normally, when crossing the sea, people would be reserved, and even if they were attacked by sea demons, they wouldn’t counterattack. if they disturbed the more terrifying sea demons, that would be troublesome.

“has the sea demon race also come out?” asked long chen.

“yes. the sea demon race has started stepping foot onto the continent. they’re searching for the qi flow eruption’s location as well. a few conflicts have happened between them and the continent’s experts. i feel like they are doing this on purpose as a show of might, and to indicate that they will also have their share of the qi flow eruption,” said qu jianying.

if the sea demon race had come out, that meant that another opponent with unknown potential had appeared. in fact, the sea demon race might even outnumber the cultivators on the continent. whether it was the righteous path, the corrupt path, even the ancient races or the xuan beasts, no one dared to provoke the sea demon race.

the sea demon race’s numbers were absolutely terrifying. they were hidden beneath the sea. no one knew just how many powerful experts they had.

“if all the large powers fight during the qi flow eruption, rivers of blood will flow,” sighed long chen.

“most likely. based on historical records, the qi flow will erupt from the depths of the earth and form a well. the martial heaven continent’s qi flow will turn into thousands of streams bursting out of the ground. those who can occupy the larger streams will be able to absorb more qi flow. the smaller streams will get less qi flow. some won’t even be strong enough to occupy a small stream and will only be able to stand in the distance and absorb the leftovers. legend is that there has always been a bloody battle for the largest stream of qi flow. after all, it will determine who becomes the master of the continent. moreover, this great era seems to be on a much larger scale than in the past. all the geniuses hidden on the continent are coming out to fight for this era. so this time, the competition for the largest qi flow stream will definitely be exceptionally intense. actually, the continent’s lifeforms should unite against the sea demon race because they don’t help us. in the past dark eras, they’ve hidden themselves and didn’t help the continent. not only can we not depend on them, but we have to give up a portion of our qi flow. that’s unacceptable,” said qu jianying hatefully.

the sea demon race could not be counted as an ally, even if they weren’t enemies. they didn’t seem to care about the fate of the continent, as if the world at the bottom of the sea would always be safe.

however, all people felt some fear toward them because who knew just how great the force they had managed to gather over the years were, especially after not participating in the dark eras?

in fact, it seemed that the sea demon race had never participated in the qi flow eruption before this. if they had, it wouldn’t have been on a large scale. but now there were signs that the entire sea demon race wanted to come out. did they want an even share of the continent’s qi flow?

“now it’ll be interesting.” long chen smiled.

“interesting? little fellow, do you know just how terrifying the sea demon race is?” qu jianying held her head. she had been hoping for long chen to reserve himself upon hearing about these terrifying opponents, but it seemed that he didn’t care.

other than the ximen family, there was one other particular person that had appeared. he was a sword cultivator, but he constantly wore a silver mask and had never reported his name.

the reason he managed to shake the continent was because he had slain one of the ancient era’s geniuses with a single slash of his sword. the person he had slain was someone who had been invited to the gathering of past and present heroes.

hearing that, long chen was truly surprised. to be able to kill one of the supreme geniuses of the ancient era with one attack was truly amazing. he had to be a sword cultivator.

after getting an update about the current movements on the continent, long chen went to the huayun sect. he saw a radiant zheng wenlong.

just as long chen had expected, to give a blow to the dongfang family’s business, the nangong family and the beitang family had been more than happy to form a collaboration with the huayun sect.

however, the two families were rather conservative. they only traded for things that were useful to them. they wouldn’t sell their treasures for something like spirit crystals.

in truth, zheng wenlong only needed the two families to say that they were collaborating with him to achieve his goals. with just being able to say that he was working together with those two families, he had the confidence to go to other powers for negotiations.

even without taking out any treasures themselves, the huayun sect was able to act as the go-between, buying and selling things from their connections to make a profit. it looked very easy, but in truth, it was not so simple. what had been missing was the powerful reputation of the everlasting families. without that prestige, it would have been impossible.

the huayun sect had their own reputation that had been built up little by little. on the business dao, no one could instantly soar to the top, and even if they did, it would be short-lived. the huayun sect had managed to achieve their current level by acting in good faith toward all their clients generation after generation.

with that reputation and being able to say that he had the nangong and beitang families as clients, zheng wenlong managed to form connections with dozens of other powers who said that they also wished to collaborate with him.

“brother long, i really have to thank you this time. without your referrals, i would have had no chance,” said zheng wenlong. he had gone to the nangong and beitang families before, but they hadn’t wanted to collaborate because there was nothing in the huayun sect’s hands that they wanted.

although the dongfang family’s actions had made them wary, if it had not been for long chen’s referrals, they probably wouldn’t have wanted to start this collaboration. to put it frankly, it was thanks to nangong zuiyue and beitang rushuang giving long chen face.

“helping you is helping me. so how are things now? did you get anything i need?” asked long chen.

zheng wenlong had set up a trading platform, and from this, long chen could see if there was anything he wanted to trade for. that was truly helping him.

zheng wenlong suddenly slapped his leg. “i almost forgot. the heavenly underworld vermillion fruit that you wanted me to keep an eye out for, there’s been some news about it.”

“what?!” long chen almost jumped out of his seat.
