Zhou Shu frowned slightly. He wasn't afraid of enemies, but he had come here to gather information and didn't want to cause too much trouble.
Zhou Shu also restrained his aura and lowered his voice. "Mu Zhixing, where are we now? Tell me the geographical location in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom."
They seemed to be deep under the sea now. It was pitch-black everywhere, and there was no light at all.
Most importantly, the pressure of the surrounding seawater was abnormally heavy. Even Zhou Shu felt suffocated.
Under such circumstances, he had to circulate his strength constantly to resist the pressure of the seawater.
It was only because his body was strong that he could do this. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't be able to last long.
Mu Zhixing whispered in complaint, "I already said that Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom isn't a good place.
"Your Highness, the entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is filled with heavy water. All the living beings in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom live in heavy water. They are born to live in this heavy water like fish, but we can't. We have to constantly circulate our strength."
Zhou Shu frowned.
Previously, when the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom invaded their world, Zhou Shu hadn't seen the truth of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Previously, when he entered the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom's general's dream, he had seen a different scene.
The entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is filled with this heavy water? A world completely made up of heavy water?
Zhou Shu had broadened his horizons this time.
It wasn't easy for Cang Hao to last so many years here.
With their cultivation, it wasn't a problem for them to move freely in this heavy water. But they were humans after all, not fish.
Living in the water for a long time, not to mention whether their bodies could withstand it, was a great test of their mental strength.
"The entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is filled with heavy water?" Zhou Shu whispered. "Where do the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom live?"
If he wanted to obtain information, he naturally had to find the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom first.
"There are cities in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom too," Mu Zhixing whispered. "Previously, I hid in a small city in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. There aren't too many powerful existences, and it's quite safe."
Mu Zhixing led the way. "Your Highness, come with me."
The two of them were like two slippery fish swimming forward silently in the heavy water.
The two of them had to restrain their auras, but they couldn't make too much noise, so they didn't move very quickly.
After swimming for a few hours, Zhou Shu saw a soft light appear in front of him.
What was emitting the soft light was a coral reef with a radius of dozens of kilometers.
The coral reef was blood-red and floated in the heavy water like a small island.
On the island, figures were coming and going. It didn't look much different from the cities Zhou Shu had seen before.
Mu Zhixing brought Zhou Shu to the coral island silently.
A hooded black robe had appeared on his body at some point and covered his head and face.
He even stuffed an identical black robe into Zhou Shu's hands and said in an almost imperceptible voice, "Your Highness, if we don't want to fight the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom here, we have to keep a low profile."
Zhou Shu obeyed the advice, nodded, and put on the black robe.
He knew nothing about the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom now, and Mu Zhixing had been here before.nove.lb(1n
What Zhou Shu had to do now was to observe more and speak less. He had to see the situation in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom clearly first.
Mu Zhixing was indeed someone who had been in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
He led Zhou Shu through the crowd and straight to an alley on the coral island. Then he pushed open a door and entered.
Buzz—
After entering the small courtyard, Mu Zhixing fiddled with it, and then the small courtyard was enveloped in a layer of light.
"Alright, we're safe for now." Mu Zhixing heaved a sigh of relief. "Under normal circumstances, no one will barge in casually."
Mu Zhixing complained, "Your Highness, you insisted on coming to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Now you've seen it. This isn't a fun place at all."
Zhou Shu sized up Mu Zhixing curiously. "Aren't you from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom? You have a house in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?"
"Heh, traveling the world, how can I not have a few lairs?" Mu Zhixing smiled proudly. "Your Highness, although this place is small, I spent a lot of effort."
Mu Zhixing emphasized, "It's very expensive!"
Zhou Shu didn't mind. Was the main point about whether it was expensive or not?
"How many cities are there in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?" he asked.
Along the way, he had been observing the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
The people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom looked similar to humans, but they had horns on their heads and could move freely in this heavy water.
Born to live in heavy water, they were constantly under the pressure of heavy water. It was no wonder the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were so powerful.
In this small city that Mu Zhixing had led them to, Zhou Shu saw all experts at or above the Earth Immortal realm!
That's right. There was not a single person below the Earth Immortal realm in sight. The small vendors on the streets were all at the Earth Immortal realm!
With such strength, even humans and demonic beasts were no match for them.
It turned out that the thousand-plus soldiers who had invaded the training battlefield back then were not elites. Cultivation at the Earth Immortal realm was ordinary in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Mu Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "There should be hundreds of such small cities in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom."
"Hundreds?" Zhou Shu fell silent.
There were not many people in this small city. There were only thirty to fifty thousand people, but these thirty to fifty thousand people were all experts at or above the Earth Immortal realm.
Wouldn't there be nearly ten million Earth Immortals and above martial artists if there were hundreds?
Thinking of this number, Zhou Shu felt that it didn't matter if there were experts in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
How many Earth Immortals were there in the entire human race?
Even if he was optimistic, there were at most a thousand people.
In fact, there might not be that many.
This was no longer as simple as the difference in strength.
If the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom really invaded, the human race would be unable to fight back.
No wonder when Mu Zhixing mentioned the five heavenly kingdoms, he felt that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were more advanced than Zhou Shu's so-called ancestral land.
They were simply too powerful.
There was no doubt that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom could take over the ancestral land.
Even Zhou Shu felt powerless in the face of such strength.
No matter how hard he worked to forge connate divine weapons, he couldn't make up for this difference.
If the effect of the Myriad Worlds Communication Token could be brought to full play, and everyone in the human race could cultivate and reach the Earth Immortal realm, there might still be some hope.
But was that possible?
Zhou Shu was silent for a long time before speaking. "Mu Zhixing, how is your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom compared to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?"
"How can the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom compare to our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?" Mu Zhixing said disdainfully.
"Your Highness, it's not that I'm bragging, but among the five heavenly kingdoms, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is the weakest. Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is among the top three strongest..."
Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is the weakest? Zhou Shu fell silent again.
The weakest Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was already something that humans couldn't resist. How powerful were the other four?
Zhou Shu was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I want to find a few people. Do you have any ways?"
No matter how powerful the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was, it didn't matter. He didn't know how Cang Hao was now, nor did he know if Zhang San and Wang Xuanyi had been discovered by the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Ever since he saw that the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were minimally at the Earth Immortal realm, he no longer had any optimistic thoughts about their situation.
It was very likely that they had an accident!
Mu Zhixing pondered. "You're looking for someone? I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that it will work. Moreover, Your Highness, I need some funds for it!"
Mu Zhixing looked at Zhou Shu.
"No problem. I'll move with you. I'll give you as much as the other party wants," Zhou Shu said indifferently, not giving Mu Zhixing a chance to fill his own pockets.
