Chapter 304: Chapter 299: Heavenly River Ruins

Li Quanqing walked in the Heavenly River Sea Region, the pitch-black sea water surging, exuding an ancient wilderness aura, the moonlight like silver, refracting between the sea of clouds.

He continuously performed Turtle Rune Spirit Divination, aided by a strand of hair in his hand, changing directions from time to time, and finally arrived at a deserted island.

At the edge of the island, a solitary cliff stood, with rugged rocks, seemingly no different from the ordinary sea islands.

Hiss hiss!

The strand of hair in Li Quanqing’s hand began to burn slowly, transforming into wisps of blue smoke, as if possessing a life of its own, drilling into the depths of the sea along the cliff.

Li Quanqing covered the surroundings with his Divine Sense; Spiritual Energy was sparse, life desolate, it seemed to be merely a deserted island, with no traces of Demon Beasts.

Out of caution, he directly took out the Void Scissors for self-defense, with the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure in hand, he felt truly secure.

Following the blue smoke’s guidance, he delved into the sea, diving hundreds of meters before unexpectedly discovering a cave on the cliff.

The blue smoke meandered, like a small snake drilled into the pitch-dark cave, the sea water splashed, icy and bone-chilling.

Upon reaching here, the strand of hair in Li Quanqing’s hand burned completely into ashes.

"No sign of life..."

He extended his Divine Sense, spreading like a spider’s web, taking in the entire cave’s interior scenery.

Even in the darkness, everything appeared as clear as broad daylight to him, like observing palm lines, without danger, nor any presence of life.

Li Quanqing broke through the water, entering the cave, the initial passage was quite narrow, winding, allowing only one person to pass.

Eventually, the space suddenly became expansive, with water plants swaying and growing wantonly.

With a loud splash, he broke the water surface and poked his head out, immediately seeing an Underground Melt Cave connected to the sea, leading straight to the depths of the island.

Li Quanqing couldn’t help but sigh, truly Zhou Caimei had gone to great lengths to find such a secluded place.

He looked around, noticing the cave ceiling was covered with abundant wet moss, shimmering with a dim light.

The entire cave contained no structures, only an ancient altar, completely carved from stone, inscribed with ancient and mysterious symbols.

Visible on a stone wall, the moss had been wiped away, revealing a "river" shaped ocean current mark, precisely the emblem of the Heavenly River Dao.

"This must be the right place..."

Li Quanqing surveyed the environment, discovering faint traces of life, likely left by Zhou Caimei.

This cave was her last known location and place of existence, unfortunately, she was now nowhere to be found.

Not even a corpse was seen.

"Due to this altar, there must be something hidden."

Li Quanqing completely flew out from the seawater, casting a Spell with a wave of his hand, transforming into a white orb of light, fully illuminating the dim surroundings.

He meticulously rubbed the altar, it was cold and rough, not carefully polished, yet extremely hard, a relic from endless ages past.

The symbols and patterns coursed like small twisting snakes or like Phoenix Birds soaring, exuding a twisted spatial aura.

"A teleportation... altar?"

Li Quanqing was somewhat unsure, having dealt regularly with Void Butterflies, he was familiar with these objects brimming with ample Void Power.

Heavenly River Dao, being capable of constructing underwater tunnels throughout the entire East Sea, clearly excelled in the Void, particularly adept in transportation.

He fiddled for a while, discovering he couldn’t comprehend it at all, as much of this ancient technology had been lost for many years.

Fortunately, Li Quanqing was well-prepared, retrieving a Heavenly River Token.

This was a token he obtained from the last Sect Master of the Whale Emperor Sect, once causing phenomena in this sea region, now rested quietly in his palm.

Li Quanqing placed the Heavenly River Token on the stone altar’s surface, and in the next moment, the symbols and patterns unexpectedly activated, beginning to glow.

Silvery white runes flowed, the light blazing, stirring the Void, traversing limitless distances, seemingly directly connecting to some mysterious place.

The densely packed symbols bloomed, like stars interweaving, finally forming an elliptical Space Gate, silver-white lines intertwined.

Splash splash!

The next moment, endless streams of water surged forth, presenting the clearest sea-blue, as radiant as a gemstone.

These water streams coalesced within the Space Gate, forming a sea-blue Water Mirror, bordered with a silver lining.

"Why does it feel... different from what I imagined in a transmission array?"

Li Quanqing rubbed his chin, somewhat hesitant, but ultimately stepped inside.

The refreshing seawater drenched him entirely, with endless waves echoing, momentarily unable to discern his location.

A strong feeling of weightlessness arose, Li Quanqing felt his body surging with the water, as if drifting with the current, traversing the Void, losing his sense of direction.

The next instant, Li Quanqing suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself having completed the teleportation process, floating in crystal-clear seawater.

Overhead, light shone brightly and warmly, a gentle breeze blew through, the water splashed and roared, seeming like he arrived in a Green Sea and Blue Sky, with endless white sand.

Li Quanqing sat up, glanced around, but apart from the boundless sea, saw nothing else.

No island, no beach, no trees, no life, just endless seawater, azure as glass, calm like a mirror.

"Is this the Heavenly River Ruins?"

Li Quanqing was somewhat hesitant when the Heavenly River Token suddenly emitted light, flying into the air, seemingly manipulated by an invisible force.

Immediately, the crystal-clear water surged, entangling the surface of the token, turning into lines of flowing script.

[Bloodline Magical Power Breath verified, confirmed as a Heavenly River Dao disciple. Would you like to initiate the legacy challenge?]

Li Quanqing was a bit astonished, not expecting everything to proceed so smoothly, with himself unprepared.

An unknown challenge, would there be life-threatening dangers?

He pondered, finally making a resolute decision, speaking with firm conviction: "I refuse!"

Splash splash!

The seawater continued surging, nothing happened, the Heavenly River Token remained suspended above the Heavenly Vault, the water script crystalline.

Li Quanqing tried several more times, finally, in helplessness, discovering he had no power to refuse.

Unless he completed this challenge, he seemed unable to find the way back.

"Why does this seem like a trap..."

Li Quanqing muttered quietly, finally speaking in resignation: "Initiate the challenge."

[Disciple confirmed willing to initiate the Heavenly River Inheritance, the trial will soon begin. Please use your power to defeat your opponent.]

This time, the intent wrapped around the Heavenly River Token responded exceptionally quickly, giving an impression of high intelligence.

The water script dispersed, followed by the sea beneath surging ceaselessly, splitting open to reveal a colossal creature.
