Chapter 486: Chapter 453: A Chance Encounter_1
It is said that the treasure is related to the legendary True Spirit of Kun Peng.
To enter, one must possess the blood of Kun Peng.
However, only the Imperial Clan of the Sea Race has the blood of Kun Peng. Moreover, it must be from the top echelon of the Imperial Clan; otherwise, the purity of the bloodline is insufficient for entrance.
Lu Jingkong used to enter the secret territory multiple times in search of a method to access the treasure.
She eventually found the method.
It was the martial method she chanced upon – the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill.
As long as she mastered this martial method, she could merge the True Blood of Kun Peng and transform into the form of Kun Peng, allowing her to easily enter the secret territory when the time came.
Unfortunately, while she had fully mastered this martial method, she lacked the True Blood of Kun Peng for the merger.
She even secretly infiltrated the cemetery of the Sea Race Imperial Clan to obtain the True Blood of Kun Peng; however, despite collecting many bones, she regrettably could not refine any true blood suitable for merging.
She ended up offending the Sea Race and barely escaped their pursuit for her life.
After extensive exploration, it was discovered that a legendary sea beast, long dead, contained partial Kun Peng bloodline.
That was the Earth-splitting Whale!
Later, she found where an Earth-splitting Whale had fallen, but didn’t expect to be trapped there when her Nascent Soul left her body.
As for what happened next, Xu Mu already knows.
After hearing her account, he finally understood why she was trapped there.
Their meeting was indeed fate.
The reason she invited Xu Mu to explore the broken sky secret territory, besides his cultivation, was because he too carried the bloodline of the Earth-splitting Whale and had practiced the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill.
As no one before had entered the deepest part of the treasure, there was undoubtedly a considerable increase in safety if both entered together.
Due to Xu Mu breaking his promise, she had to enter by herself.
After entering the treasure, she indeed gained numerous benefits.
As for the specifics, Lu Jingkong lightly brushed over them, and Xu Mu didn’t foolishly ask.
However, when she left, she got caught in a sudden turbulence, and when she awoke, she had been thrown into this space.
“I explored the entire continent and did not find any way to leave,” Lu Jingkong sighed.
To her, if she couldn’t leave this world, everything else was meaningless, explaining why the country she ruled stopped expanding suddenly.
Xu Mu’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, “Could I retrieve the weapon you found?”
“Haha!”
On hearing this, Lu Jingkong, who was somewhat melancholic, suddenly burst out laughing.
“Friend Xu, that isn’t right. What do you mean, ‘your weapon’? This is an ownerless object that I found on my way!” Lu Jingkong lifted the Sky-splitting Halberd from the ground and said with a smile, “If you say it’s your weapon, why don’t you call out to it and see if it responds?”
“…”
Xu Mu was somewhat speechless; Lu Jingkong was clearly not willing to give it back.
He had used this weapon more than once in front of her. How could she not remember it, given her powerful sensitivity?
“If you don’t want to return it, just say so. Why lie?” Xu Mu retorted.
“You understand the power of this weapon better than me. Do you think I would just casually give it to you?” Lu Jingkong laughed.
“Why are you so unreasonable? You know it belongs to my brother and still won’t give it to him,” Yue said indignantly.
