Chapter 457: Entering Nightsea
“t.i.tanic Crescent Saint Child!” Many youngsters took a deep breath and exclaimed after seeing this humble-statured young man.
Despite being undersized, no one dared to underestimate him. On the contrary, many geniuses quickly stepped back with changed expressions.
The t.i.tanic Crescent Sacred Ground was an extremely prestigious emperor’s lineage in the northern Misty Field; it was created by Immortal Emperor Ju Tian. Although the emperor’s t.i.tle was “t.i.tanic Crescent,” the truth was that the emperor was extremely short because he came from a dwarven tribe. There were once people who referred to their ghost tribe as three-inch nail ghosts.
However, once Immortal Emperor Ju Tian shouldered the Heaven’s Will, no one dared to call his tribe members “three-inch nails” anymore.
Although t.i.tanic Crescent Saint Child was small, he was the direct descendant of the emperor and the saint child of the sacred ground. He was notoriously ruthless and many had died at his hands.
Emperor’s lineages arriving caused the atmosphere at Necropolis to become quite tense. Even emperor’s lineages could no longer sit still! This made many people think that the treasure mountain was truly about to appear.
Because of this, countless cultivators recklessly rushed into the ocean beneath Nightsea in order to reach the sh.o.r.e on the other side.
However, amidst their desperate crossing, they were barred before reaching the sh.o.r.e. The scene before them shocked them completely! They were forced to stop without being able to swim any further, let alone being able to reach the sh.o.r.e.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye and Qiurong Wanxue wasted a lot of time at the Ancestral Flow so they belonged to the group of cultivators that were late to arrive at Nightsea.
Qiurong Wanxue couldn’t believe her eyes once she saw the scene. They had been catching fish at this place for a month so she was used to the black-as-ink sea.
But now… The blue ocean waves were a.s.saulting the sh.o.r.e with pure, clear water. This was a perfect habitat for fishes and birds. The Nightsea that once caused others to be cautious had now become a scenic location.
“What could have turned Nightsea into this?” Qiurong Wanxue couldn’t help but murmur.
Li Qiye looked towards the far distance beyond Nightsea. He had heard of the whirlpool and knew more than everyone else regarding the mysterious realm below.
“Chief, Chief, Brother Li, Brother Li, we are over here!” They suddenly heard a joyous cry. A group was waving their hands and ran closer to the two of them.
These six people were Peng Zhuang’s group. They were loitering around the sh.o.r.e and saw Li Qiye and Qiurong Wanxue so they excitedly rushed over.
“Chief, Brother Li, you guys are finally here. We have been waiting for so long!” Peng Zhuang happily spoke.
“With all these treasure lights radiating around you all, it seems that you guys have had a decent harvest.” Li Qiye looked at them and smiled.
Peng Zhuang scratched his head and happily replied: “It is all because Brother Li guided us to the right spot. Hehe, Yang Nightfish are indeed amazing things.”
“Don’t be impertinent, address him as Young n.o.ble!” Qiurong Wanxue looked at the youths and said in a serious manner: “Young n.o.ble Li is a great benefactor to our tribe. Do not be disrespectful from now on, understand?”
The six of them all stared at Li Qiye. They didn’t know what he had done, but they didn’t dare to go against the chief’s words so they quickly changed their att.i.tudes.
“Young n.o.ble, a whirlpool leading to the seabed has appeared in Nightsea. Below it is a vast ocean; I heard that it is a very mysterious realm. I also heard that the treasure mountain might come out of there, should we go on an adventure to check it out?” Peng Zhuang eagerly asked.
The six of them wanted to go much sooner, but their cultivation was too weak so they didn’t dare to act recklessly. They lingered around Nightsea to wait for their chief before doing anything else.
Li Qiye only smiled without answering. He went to the sh.o.r.e and cupped a handful of water then drank it.
“Myriad Immortals Source Gra.s.s, G.o.d Subduing Evil Tree, Heaven-Study Peerless Water, Hundred Dao Eager Blood…” Li Qiye savoured the taste of the sea and became quite moved. Some of the things in this water were extremely unbelievable.
The six youths were fine after hearing Li Qiye name several things that they had never heard of before, but Qiurong Wanxue was quite startled. The names were all supreme immortal items; each and every single one of them were very rare in this world. She had never seen them before since they were completely out of her reach.
She s.h.i.+vered while listening to Li Qiye as he called out each item. Why did Nightsea’s water contain these things?
“And also the young leaf from the World Tree!” In the end, Li Qiye clicked his tongue and murmured: “Oh boy, Imp really broke a leg here. All of these things require several generations to gather. Even an Immortal Emperor would not be able to gather all of them in just one.”
After tasting the young leaf of the World Tree in the water, Li Qiye immediately knew who did it. He had suspicions of this before, but now he was certain that Imp had taken action.
