Chapter 1166 1167: Rumors of the Endless Sea
Such a girl, born in a small town, can indeed amaze everyone around.
Xiao Xin seemed to sense a gaze sizing her up, so she slightly raised her head and met Xiao Tianyu's eyes. She found his eyes were clear, unlike others which were often filled with greed, and thus felt a slight affection.
"Stop staring at each other!" Xiao Feng chuckled, causing Xiao Xin's face to flush, making her appear even more captivating. Then Xiao Feng continued, "Sister, where's our grandpa?"
"Why are you looking for him?"
"Brother Xiao has something to ask!" Xiao Feng replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Xin glanced again at Xiao Tianyu, but she did not look into his eyes. She then spoke to Xiao Feng, "He should be treating the beasts!"
As for the beasts Xiao Xin mentioned, they were naturally demon beasts.
"You little rascal, you don't seem to know how to cultivate and again come seeking me, an elder, for what purpose?" A voice came from not far away, and a middle-aged man casually approached. Although middle-aged, his hair had streaks of silver.
He was none other than Xiao Family's Clan Leader, Xiao Zhenshan.
"Grandpa, how could you say I'm not cultivating? I'm working really hard!" Xiao Feng chuckled, and Xiao Zhenshan didn't pay him much mind. His gaze shifted to Xiao Tianyu, and upon seeing him, he was somewhat taken aback, as he, like Xiao Zhan, couldn't discern Xiao Tianyu's actual cultivation.
Moreover, Xiao Tianyu had a unique presence, which gave him the impression that he was indeed an extraordinary person.
Thus, Xiao Zhenshan clasped his fists in greeting, "And this young gentleman is...?"
"Grandpa, his name is Xiao Tianyu, a friend I just made!" Xiao Feng interrupted. Xiao Zhenshan pondered the name Xiao Tianyu?
Then, Xiao Zhenshan said, "Judging by your attire, young sir, you must not be local."
"He fell from the sky!" Xiao Feng interjected again, leaving Xiao Zhenshan speechless. He then said to Xiao Feng, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
With that, Xiao Feng puffed his cheeks, indicating he would be quiet.
Xiao Zhenshan continued, "As my grandson said, you fell from the sky? No wonder I see dust on your body and seem to sense some internal injury. How about I give you some medicine to brew and take?"
His words hinted at how hospitable Xiao Zhenshan was.
Xiao Tianyu waved his hand, "Thank you, elder, but there's no need!"
In fact, Xiao Tianyu wanted to say, an animal doctor, could treat humans too? Not to mention, he, Xiao Tianyu, had self-healing abilities; even without them, he wouldn't want Xiao Zhenshan to treat him.
Xiao Zhenshan nodded, showing a skeptical look, "Since you fell from the sky and coincidentally befriended my grandson, given your talents, you shouldn't really have an interest in befriending my grandson, right?"
From these words, it wasn't hard to deduce Xiao Zhenshan's meaning, as being cautious of strangers is wise.
"It's merely a coincidence, elder; I have no other intention. I am here simply to inquire about some information, nothing more!" Xiao Tianyu looked sincere.
"Just that?" Xiao Zhenshan laughed heartily; from Xiao Tianyu's clear eyes, he didn't seem like a villain.
"Indeed!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, his gaze sincere, "Sorry for the trouble, and I ask your forgiveness, elder!"
Xiao Tianyu's words were quite courteous, perhaps due to Xiao Feng, or maybe it was because of the welcoming nature of the Xiao family and the surname Xiao, which gave him a sense of warmth.
Otherwise, ordinarily, who would dare question him?
"Hahaha~ I worried too much!" Xiao Zhenshan laughed apologetically and said, "In that case, young gentleman, please come inside!"
Having said that, Xiao Zhenshan gestured invitingly, and Xiao Tianyu didn't stand on ceremony, stepping toward the hall, followed by Xiao Zhenshan who commanded, "Xin'Er, serve the tea!"
Then, Xiao Zhenshan looked at Xiao Tianyu and said, "Since you've come to ask me about something, go ahead, although the Unparalleled Realm is vast, my knowledge is limited!"
"Elder, have you heard of the Endless Sea?" Xiao Tianyu asked bluntly.
Endless Sea?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenshan's expression changed, replaced by a hint of fear.
He said, "What do you want to know about the Endless Sea, young sir?"
"There's something I need to do there!" Xiao Tianyu replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhenshan's heart surged with worry. He said, "To be frank, the Endless Sea is known as the Sea of Death. Its surface is vast and endless, taking up seventy percent of the Unparalleled Realm's continent. Furthermore, in recent years, none who ventured to the Endless Sea have returned alive, not even the most unparalleled figures. So, in recent times, no one dares to go there!"
"There's a rumor that within the Endless Sea, a Sea King is suppressed. This demon beast was immense and, before being suppressed, was said to be the ruler of the entire sea area and a Martial God Level demon beast. Even the nine Great Emperors of the Unparalleled Realm are wary. No matter how high young sir's cultivation is, it might be futile. Listen to my advice, don't go there!"
"Who suppressed it?" Xiao Tianyu asked, as the Sea King was a Martial God Level demon beast; hardly anyone in the Unparalleled Realm could suppress it.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhenshan showed a thoughtful expression and finally said, "It's said that ten thousand years ago, a mighty figure appeared here. The rumor is this person's cultivation surpassed the Martial God level. Seeing the Sea King's brutality, they used Primordial Power to suppress it in the Earth Sea and established an Earth Palace there, sealing a Divine Artifact guarded by the Sea King. Whether this is true is still unclear!"
Could it be him? Xiao Tianyu thought of someone.
The more this was the case, the more challenging it seemed for Xiao Tianyu.
He said, "This doesn't need the elder's worry; I only ask for your guidance on the geographical location of Endless Sea!"
"Alright!" Xiao Zhenshan nodded helplessly and said, "Endless Sea is located at the eastern edge of the Unparalleled Realm, where it is a Primordial Land. It is said to be called Primordial Island, but what's inside, I don't know. However, crossing this Primordial Island leads to the Endless Sea!"
"Thank you, elder!" Xiao Tianyu thanked and stood up, followed by Xiao Zhenshan who also stood and said, "Since fate has brought you to visit the Xiao family, why not stay a few days before leaving!"
As he spoke, Xiao Xin entered the hall with two cups of tea, followed by Xiao Feng.
After Xiao Xin placed the tea down, Xiao Feng spoke to Xiao Tianyu, "What my grandpa said is right, since you've come to the Xiao family, why not stay a few days? Besides, I have much to learn in Martial Arts and wish to seek Brother Xiao's guidance!"
Xiao Feng's gaze was sincere.
"Feng, don't be rude!" Xiao Zhenshan scolded, though he shared the same thought, feeling an unusual aura from Xiao Tianyu as if he might be a Martial King.
In such a case, if he could take Xiao Feng as a disciple, it would be even better.
"No need for such formality," Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, "Since Xiao Feng is willing to learn, I can certainly instruct him a bit!"
