Chapter 133: Saint of the Infinite Sea! Illusory Sea Spiritual Pearl!
Hearing the elder's story, Xiao Ze couldn't help but show an expression of amazement.
The Illusory Sea in this vast desert turned out to be a creation of nature.
It wasn't, as he had initially supposed, something forced by human intervention.
At the same time, Xiao Ze realized the great strength of the elder. At the very least, he was a true master.
"Finding a spiritual object of heaven and earth and not intending to seize it by force, your magnanimity, sir, is admirable," said Xiao Ze respectfully.
"Ha ha ha, it's actually not quite like that. Don't think I have no personal interest," the elder replied, laughing, dismissing Xiao Ze's praise.
"This Illusory Sea is an exceptional place for water attribute cultivators, but the most valuable things here are the Illusory Sea Spiritual Pearls that form within. Although I initially intended to protect these spiritual objects, I also intended to hide them and wait for the pearls to fully form."
"However, this secret of the Illusory Sea has now been revealed. It's likely my body has already met a grim fate and I have passed away," the elder commented with a tone of melancholy, reflecting on the unpredictability of life.
"Even so, sir, you have benefited future generations. At least for me, this encounter has been a great opportunity," Xiao Ze responded sincerely.
If not for the elder's intervention, he would never have been able to enter this secret of the Illusory Sea. Xiao Ze also became curious about the elder's identity.
"May I ask your name, sir?"
"My name is not important, but on the Dou Qi continent, I was called Saint of the Infinite Sea. I don't know if this title has endured over time," the elder replied with evident pride.
Xiao Ze couldn't help but swallow hard upon hearing this. A saint!
The title that only the powerful Dou Sheng have. This kind elder before him turned out to be a Dou Sheng.
Initially, Xiao Ze had estimated the elder's strength, thinking he might be a high-ranking Dou Zun or even a semi-saint. But he never imagined he was a true Dou Sheng.
This meant that this place was a relic of a Dou Sheng, which in stories contained the most powerful spiritual objects, like the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit.
Xiao Ze didn't expect to obtain something so extraordinary, but even a lesser-grade object would be incredibly beneficial for him.
The elder seemed to guess what Xiao Ze was thinking and shook his head.
"This Illusory Sea secret was created by me, but I haven't left any inheritance here. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Xiao Ze realized that this place was not where the Saint of the Infinite Sea had died. It was only a place where the saint had protected a spiritual object, waiting to collect the Illusory Sea Spiritual Pearls when they were ready.
This great disappointment made Xiao Ze take a deep breath and stabilize his emotions. If there had been an inheritance from the Saint of the Infinite Sea here, even a small part, it would have been of great benefit to him. Unfortunately...
"Ha ha ha, young man, don't feel so disappointed. Although I haven't left any inheritance here, in this Illusory Sea secret, a spiritual object may form that even a saint would be attracted to."
"The old man's inheritance might not be suitable for you, but this spiritual object could benefit you throughout your life, especially if you are a water attribute cultivator."
"Young man, don't get too excited too quickly. Illusory Sea Spiritual Pearls are extremely difficult to form. Even I am not sure if one has formed," the elder added.
Xiao Ze realized that the elder, despite his kindness, seemed to enjoy giving him hopes only to crush them.
"Well, even if one hasn't formed, you haven't come in vain. I see you are close to breaking through to the Dou Huang rank. Here, the abundance of elemental water can benefit you greatly, enhancing your affinity and perception of the water element."
"Young man, it seems you haven't reached adulthood yet, right?"
"Indeed, sir. I haven't celebrated my coming-of-age ceremony yet," Xiao Ze responded.
"Incredible! Such a young person advanced in their cultivation!" exclaimed the elder, surprised.
"In my time, I barely reached the Dou Huang rank at your age," the elder reflected.
Xiao Ze listened attentively to the elder, occasionally asking questions. He wasn't in a hurry to seek the spiritual object, valuing more the stories and knowledge the ancient Dou Sheng shared.
Over time, the elder's soul strength began to weaken.
"Ah... We old folks talk a lot. But it has been pleasant to speak with someone from the future. Young man, seek your opportunity in the Illusory Sea. To exit, use your spiritual strength to activate the treasure map. But to re-enter, it will depend on your own strength."
The elder looked around with an expression of nostalgia, and finally, his water-formed body faded, merging again with the Illusory Sea.
Xiao Ze took a deep breath and bowed towards where the elder had disappeared. He had learned much from this conversation.
