Even if you don't understand it for the time being, you should write it down or print it out, bring it back to Da Zhao or load the file on the spot, and put it in the inventory to study it slowly.
"There shouldn't be only one place with traces of immortals on such a large island, right?"
Xi Heng planned to go back to the beach and ask the crew to search the entire island.
After the repairmen repaired the damaged parts of the ship, they continued their voyage eastward.
Xi Heng suddenly thought of something: "The Goddess of Red Sky may have some knowledge of spells, and may be able to understand this kind of thing."
With a change of mind, she immediately used her lightness skills to return to the beach where the fleet was stranded.
The dark red figure passed through layers of white bones and returned to the mountains and forests. Regardless of the steepness of the terrain, it flew away like a light swallow.
Going up the mountain is slow, but going down the mountain is quite brisk.
In just five or six minutes, Xi Heng returned to the beach.
In the more than half an hour since she left, the captain had not yet arranged the personnel affairs. He just asked people to get off the boat and go to the beach to collect firewood at meal time to help the cook light a fire and cook.
Craftsmen have been sent to check the breach in the ship, but they are all staring at the crack in the bottom of the ship that has sunk into the sand in confusion, and have not yet discussed how to repair it.
Xi Heng realized that the fleet would probably be stuck here for a long time.
"There's no rush."
She walked past the busy people and came to the slightly tilted ship. She went to the cabin and pushed open the door.
Chen Fenghuo was still staying safely in the cabin, looking at the scenery of the island from afar.
Hearing Xi Heng return, she couldn't help but ask with some expectation:
"You went to the island just now? How was it? Did you gain anything?"
After sailing for so long, we finally saw land.
Even if it was just a small island, it gave her a glimmer of hope.
"It's a bit strange." Xi Heng answered: "There is a house high up on the island. There is an inscription that looks like a symbol. The handwriting is messy and difficult to distinguish. I wonder if you can read it?"
"Talisman painting?" Chen Fenghuo said seriously:
"Talismans are secret codes often used by cultivators. Although I can read some of them, it would be difficult to discern if the cultivators deliberately encrypted them."
"It's good that you can recognize it. Let's give it a try." Xi Heng nodded.
Taking the other person along with me on a trip to the Far East to search for immortals could indeed be of some use.
She then took the other person away from the ship.
The Goddess of Red Sky also has the realm of a dark-energy warrior. Although her muscles and bones are disordered and it is difficult for her to move her hands, she can still barely keep up with the light-energy skills.
After getting off the boat, Xi Heng first ordered the many crew members around to search the entire island after dinner.
Then, he took Chen Fenghuo to the place where the strange house was discovered earlier in a hurry.
A few minutes later, she landed in front of the house, on a flat ground covered with many bones.
Chen Fenghuo followed and fell down, looking at the strange skeletons all over the ground and swallowed his saliva.
Before coming here, she had never heard of such a strange scene here.
"Where do these skeletons come from..." she asked, pursing her lips.
"They should be some creatures on the island, right?" Xi Heng walked past the skeletons and said, "Don't worry about them. The important thing is to interpret the stone tablet."
However, when Chen Fenghuo looked around, he was unable to calm down like the other party.
She pointed to the center of the pile of bones:
"There are a few human bones over there."
"It's normal to have human bones among the skeletons, right?" Xi Heng was not surprised.
This scene was very similar to the appearance of the remains of a corpse after using the Blood Sea Method to absorb the spiritual light of flesh and blood.
It's normal for the caster to grab a few enemies and suck them together, so there's nothing to be surprised about.
Chen Fenghuo remembered that this person was a demon and didn't care about the lives of mortals, so he said, "I always feel that this place will be dangerous."
She had this premonition when she saw the human skeleton just now.
"Probably not?"
Xi Heng was not sure, but still urged:
"I have been in this room for a long time. It should be OK this time. Come in."
"..."Chen Fenghuo followed slowly and carefully.
Although her premonition grew stronger, it was just a premonition after all, and she had encountered times when her premonition was wrong.
After a moment, she followed Xiheng, stepping over the broken bones that covered the ground and walked into the room filled with the smell of corruption.
At first glance, I saw the stone tablet I just mentioned.
Just as Xi Heng said, there were many densely packed, disordered, and ghostly-like characters arranged on the surface of the stone tablet.
"How is it? Do you understand?" came a voice from the front.
Even though Chen Fenghuo knew some talismanic characters, he still found it quite difficult to read the inscription from the beginning.
"Hmm... almost."
She translated it bit by bit and read it out in her own language:
"What is written on the stone tablet is... when the tablet was erected, it was called the Immortal's Destruction? Or the 640th year of the Immortal's Defeat. There was an immortal cultivator whose name was related to 'blood'. In order to seek the great way, he killed countless people and slaughtered countless people..."
"Blood?" Xi Heng asked, "Is there a specific name for it?"
She inexplicably felt that the Blood Sea Dharma might be related to this person.
"The text on the talisman is too ambiguous to be understood."
Chen Fenghuo had a headache just reading these words, and translating them was even more troublesome.
"Probably blood robbery, blood murder or something like that..."
"Oh." Xi Heng nodded: "Go on, go on."
The blonde girl pressed her temples and continued to identify the various talismans.
"This senior with the blood character is one of the rare strong men in the immortal cultivation realm on this sea. Few people can contend with him, and the storm he stirs up is getting more and more serious."
"The Immortal Cultivation Realm on the Sea?"
The other party did not answer, but continued to translate and explain:
"One day, this person dyed an area of the sea blood-red, and released a large amount of spiritual energy in an unknown way."
"The declining Xiuxian realm has been replenished with spiritual energy and is prospering again. Among the Xiuxian practitioners, this person's image is gradually improving."
Xi Heng was listening nearby, and he became more and more confused.
"Afterwards, Xue Jie gave his skills to many immortal cultivators, allowing them to capture blood and flesh in exchange for spiritual light."
"..."
Xi Heng was almost certain that the Blood Sea Method probably came from this.
"After obtaining this skill, the realm has gradually recovered to its former heyday in just a hundred years." Chen Fenghuo translated.
"Over the past hundred years, the sea surface of the Chonghai Spiritual Territory has turned red, and the name of the Chonghai Territory has gradually changed to the Blood Sea Territory."
"Is it really a sea of blood?"
During these hundred years, how much blood and flesh had the immortal cultivators here consumed to obtain enough spiritual energy to replenish their immortal world... Xi Heng pondered silently.
“But when everything was getting more and more prosperous, suddenly one day, the highly renowned senior Xue Jie took the fundamental magic weapon called ‘Sea Heart’ that maintained the existence of Chonghai Spirit Realm and took it for himself with his powerful force.
"She used this magic weapon to close the Chonghai Spiritual Array, making it impossible for the immortal cultivators inside to escape."
"Afterwards, a sea of blood rose up and submerged the spiritual realm, and also submerged the cultivators within. Only a few people were able to escape the disaster with special spells."
"The blood sea that rose and covered the Xiuxian realm crushed countless ordinary cultivators to death. Even cultivators with protective magic weapons would have their spiritual energy slowly drained away."
"The blood sea submerged the Spirit Realm for several months, gathering the spiritual energy of 100,000 cultivators before it gradually descended and condensed on the Spirit Realm's formation core magic weapon 'Sea Heart'."
"The heart of the sea turned blood red, beating like a real heart."
"Xue Jie dug out her heart and replaced it with Hai Xin. All the spiritual energy gathered on her, and she began to ascend to the Golden Core stage."
"What this person has done for a hundred years is all to obtain a large amount of spiritual energy and pave the way for achieving the golden elixir."
"In the end, the Chonghai Xiuxian Realm turned into blood and shattered and exploded, leaving a huge vortex in the Chonghai. As for the blood disaster that destroyed the entire realm, the person who carved the monument didn't know whether she had become a golden elixir, nor did he know where she had gone... and he also didn't know what the countless cultivators trapped in the blood sea had become."
"In the end... there is no more immortal cultivation area in Chonghai."
The Goddess of Red Sky trembled slightly as she recited the last words.
"Huh?" Xi Heng blinked.
"This is what it says on the monument..."
She didn't want to believe it, but that's what the inscription said.
"..."
Xi Heng originally wanted to thank the person who created the Blood Sea Method.
But unexpectedly, the other party directly blew up an immortal cultivation realm.
If this hadn't happened, I might have become an immortal directly after arriving at Chonghai by boat...
She turned her gaze and looked towards the huge whirlpool on the sea in the west.
"So the center of that vortex is the former realm of immortal cultivation?"
She inexplicably recalled the rumors about the fairy island she had heard before.
The rumor might be correct, but it was spread at the wrong time. Now the fairy island is gone.
"Is there any other information on this monument?" Xi Heng asked.
The Goddess of Scarlet Sky shook her head: "The inscription only records this one thing."
Xi Heng clicked his tongue and turned his head away.
"Since there is no immortal cultivation realm here, let's go somewhere else..." She said:
"Although the fairy island on Chonghai has been destroyed, your Pure Fire Mingzun's cultivation world may still be there. Wait until the fleet is repaired and continue crossing the sea."
"Yeah." Chen Fenghuo nodded.
"The immortal cultivator who erected the inscription must have gone to another immortal cultivation world, right?"
"Perhaps we can stay here?" The Goddess of Scarlet Sky said hesitantly:
"But the so-called 640-year immortality period above, I don't know how many years it has been since today... Judging from the degree of decay of this house, it has been at least several decades."
The other party looked up at the inscription on the stone.
Xi Heng turned around silently and was about to leave this place and return to the beach.
But the next moment, a rustling sound like footsteps was heard, slowly approaching from outside.
"What?" Xi Heng frowned.
Then, the rustling sound became more obvious.
By the sound, she could tell how the person was walking.
That person must have bent his body, relaxed his whole body, and followed the inertia of his body leaning forward, taking a step forward involuntarily.
There hadn't been even a single noticeable sound of footsteps around the house before, let alone such clear footsteps.
Xi Heng drew out his sword and gave Chen Fenghuo a look behind him, asking him to hide safely behind him.
Then she walked outside with sword in hand.
Before I could see what was in the distance, a hoarse voice came:
"Flesh and blood...spiritual energy..."
Xi Heng quickened his pace and saw the source of the sound from afar. He saw a guy wearing tattered blood-red clothes. He was holding a weasel-like animal corpse in one hand, stuffing it into his mouth and biting it continuously.
"Give me... spiritual energy!"
He bared his bloody teeth, his face was hideous, his eyes were dull... like a zombie.
