On the sea, the sky is clear and the sun is high, which is a rare good weather.

On the deck, a long square table has been set up in advance.

There are countless kinds of fresh melon and fruit pastries on it, exuding an alluring aroma.

Lin Sheng and Princess Lingyu sat next to each other, tasting the fruits and pastries on the table.

"Sir Lin Sheng, the Demon Beast Flesh you asked me to search for are not among the Eastern Continent. However, there is still a collection in the royal family. I have submitted the declaration request, and there should be news after a while."

When he said this, Princess Lingyu paused and continued as if he thought of something.

"If Mr. Lin Sheng needs it urgently, you may wish to return to Imperial Capital with Ling Yu."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Sheng quietly, waiting for the other party's reply.

Her trip to the Eastern Continent had already taken a lot of time.

If it weren't for Lin Sheng still here, she would have returned directly to Imperial Court after returning from Misty Sea Region.

"Imperial Capital?"

Hearing this, Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment but thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, Eastern Continent, there's nothing going on here anymore."

Although Southern Qi Imperial Family is not as dominant as the Northern Yan royal family, it can overwhelm a country.

But he has always been on the same page as Military Department, and can be regarded as the largest force among Southern Qi.

The richness of its royal collection is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary powers.

I think there will be a lot of Demon Beast materials.

Now the Misty Sea Region matter has come to an end.

There is no problem in going to Imperial Court.

As for Dark Star, if there are any other arrangements, they are just making plans.

When Lin Sheng agreed, Princess Lingyu felt happy.

For some reason, she just felt that there was something special about Lin Sheng that was extremely attractive to her.

This feeling has become stronger since the end of the Misty Sea Region trip. This is a feeling she has never felt before.

"Great, after visiting the island this time, we will return to Imperial Capital together."

"Okay."

The two continued to chat.

As an important member of the royal family, Lin Sheng also learned a lot of secrets and anecdotes during the conversation with the other party.

"According to ancient myths, in ancient times, there were many powerful and terrifying ancient beasts in the earth and oceans. Although the ancient beasts have been extinct for countless thousands of years, the ones that can be called ancient beasts are all Void Beast level terrifying Strange Beast."

The two of them chatted and unknowingly came to the topic of ancient times.

"At that time, Strange Beast at the level of Demon Beast was just food for the ancient beasts."

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine how the human ancestors at that time survived in such circumstances, and imitated Strange Beast step by step to create various cultivation methods, gradually growing Human Race. The ancients indeed had great wisdom."

Hearing Princess Lingyu's words, Lin Sheng also nodded with emotion.

After seeing the terrifying power of Ink Sea Dragon Crab in his consciousness, he felt quite remarkable that the ancient people who faced many terrifying ancient beasts in ancient times could still thrive, keep Bloodline going, and even create a method of practice.

Even Human Race, who now has a complete cultivation system, might not be that good at that time.

Lin Sheng sighed in his heart, but Princess Lingyu opposite him smiled and shook his head.

"Your Excellency Lin Sheng seems to have been misled by those historical Ancient Manual. In ancient times, when ancient beasts were in power, humans were actually regarded as blood food by those ancient beasts Demon Beast, and were deliberately raised. Otherwise, humans might have become extinct long ago."

Princess Lingyu seems to be quite familiar with various ancient legends, and is now explaining it to Lin Sheng in detail.

"Strange Beast is as tyrannical as the ancient beast, and its level of intelligence is even higher than that of humans. In this case, human power alone cannot break the deadlock."

Princess Lingyu's words moved Lin Sheng's heart.

He was originally a little confused about what was recorded in the ancient book, but now that he heard what Ling Yu meant, it was clear that there was something hidden in it.

Seeing that Lin Sheng was quite interested, Princess Lingyu smiled and continued.

"According to the Ancient Manual collected by our royal family, those powerful ancient beasts in ancient times suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and almost all of them died. Even Demon Beast suffered nine out of ten casualties. Only a small number barely survived. However, the weak Human Race suffered very little casualties."

"It is precisely because of this catastrophe that the blood-eating humans have a chance to breathe and rise. Otherwise, the power of the human ancestors at that time would be far from comparable to these Strange Beast."

"That's it."

After hearing this, Lin Sheng also completely understood.

I am afraid that it was because of this so-called catastrophe that the ancients had the opportunity to devour the tyrannical Strange Beast and gradually master the power of Bloodline.

Although it is as powerful as Void Beast, even if it is dead, Flesh still contains extremely powerful power, and ordinary people may die if they swallow it.

But there will always be a very small number of lucky people who can initially refine it, and with reproduction, this Bloodline will be completely integrated into the genes.

What's more, the number of rare Heavenly Treasures on the ancient earth was far greater than today. With the overlord's ancient beast Demon Beast almost extinct, it is normal for Human Race to be able to gain a foothold step by step.

"I wonder what the fate of that day and earth will be?"

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng was very interested in the catastrophe that caused all this.

After all, the calamity that can destroy many ancient beasts definitely has unimaginable terrifying power.

"I don't know much about this. Even in the royal family's collection, there are only a few records. It is said that black clouds cover the sky and annihilate all living beings."

Princess Lingyu thought for a while before replying.

"Dark clouds cover the sky and annihilate all living beings?"

Lin Sheng chewed these eight words in his mouth.

"What kind of force is it?"

He murmured silently in his heart.

This kind of power has definitely surpassed the scope of Supreme Grandmaster and reached a brand new realm.

"The power of heaven and earth..."

Lin Sheng looked up and saw the sun hanging high in the sky.

An idea popped up in my mind, what could I do if I faced a terrible fate?

The answer made his heart sink slightly.

There is only one result, that is, the body dies and the Tao disappears, leaving no resistance.

But he was just thinking about it in his mind. This so-called catastrophe of heaven and earth had already passed tens of thousands of years, so how could it happen so easily.

He shook his head slightly, smiled dumbly, and threw the thoughts behind him.

After all, even if one day comes, his strength will definitely surpass the so-called ancient beast.

"Lin Sheng, if you are interested in these ancient events, Ling Yu can take you to the library to have a look after Imperial Capital arrives."

"It couldn't be better."

Hearing this, Lin Sheng nodded on the spot. He was indeed very interested in these things.

Compared with those ancient book fragments searched on the market, the collection of books in the Southern Qi Imperial Family is undoubtedly more abundant and accurate.

The two continued to chat, and soon moved on to other topics.

Unknowingly, two hours have passed quietly.

The speed of the ship gradually slowed down, because an island with rich vegetation and wooded trees appeared in sight.

Different from the normal lush greenery, the branches and leaves of the trees on this island show red, yellow, white, green and other colors. As the sea breeze blows through the branches and leaves, it is quite spectacular, just like a huge rainbow.

"Here we are, Butterfly Island is in front of us."

Seeing this rather special island, Princess Lingyu stood up with a bit of joy on his face.

Such a dreamlike scene, let alone Ling Yu, a woman, even Lin Sheng was a little shocked.

Soon the ship docked.

On the island, the various colorful flowers are quite pleasing to the eye, especially among the flowers, you can often see several colorful, palm-sized butterflies, which are extremely cute and eye-catching.

"The name of these butterflies is Phantom Colored Butterfly, which is also the origin of the name Butterfly Island. Sir Lin Sheng, please don't look at these colorful butterflies. They look beautiful, but each one is highly poisonous. Ordinary people will die if they touch it."

It seemed that this was not the first time Princess Lingyu had come here. He introduced Lin Sheng familiarly and extended his emerald white hand while talking, causing two butterflies to fall down.

"Of course for us, this toxicity is nothing."

Lin Sheng also imitated Ling Yu's actions and stretched out his palms, but for some reason those colorful butterflies did not dare to come close.

Even taking a few steps closer to Ling Yu, the colorful butterfly in the opponent's hand ran away as if frightened.

Lin Sheng was a little speechless. He simply grabbed a colorful butterfly with his big hand and pulled it hard. After taking a look through the panel, he lost interest.

It's just the high-end Mortal Beast-level Strange Beast. Except that Phantom Poison Augmentation is higher, there is nothing outstanding about it.

The two of them walked side by side on the island path, chatting and admiring the scenery along the way, which was quite a bit of fun.

Behind the two of them, Granny Shi stopped.

As the protector of Princess Lingyu, she is not far away from him on weekdays.

But it would seem a little inappropriate to come forward at this moment.

So she deliberately slowed down and distanced herself from the two of them.

This Butterfly Island has been cleaned by the Military Department a long time ago. There are no tyrannical Strange Beast on it, only a few Spirit Beast at most.

Moreover, Princess Lingyu has a distinguished status, and no one in Southern Qi is really bold enough to take action against him. Moreover, Princess Lingyu himself, as a Divine Form realm warrior, has extraordinary combat power and many methods. Grandmaster can escape even if he is defeated.

What's more, there is Lin Sheng with extraordinary combat power. I guess as long as Strange Beast who is not Grandmaster appears, there will be no problem.

This level of tyranny Strange Beast is not a street cabbage, how could it appear so easily?

Granny Shi was walking along the roadside, looking at the colorful flowers around him with his old eyes, and his eyes became softer.

Reach out and pinch a colorful butterfly, put it in your hand and play with it.

She has been at Imperial Capital Secluded Cultivation. When she saw such scenery this time, she couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

Suddenly her ears moved, as if she heard something.

Soon his nose twitched, and some doubts flashed in his old eyes.

"Why is there the smell of ambergris here?"

She muttered to herself, with a look of surprise on her face.

Immediately it shot towards the forest on the other side.

However, within a few breaths of time, a distance of several thousand meters had been covered.

Stopped by a mountain spring.

Her eyes fell on the mountain spring, and she saw a fist-sized porcelain bottle standing open on the side.

Seeing this scene, Granny Shi frowned, and woke up suddenly the next moment, with a look of shock in his eyes.

He immediately turned around and shot towards the direction he came from.

Just as he turned around, a sharp roar had already shot out from the forest and was approaching in an instant.

Granny Shi has a crutch in his hand, and when he smashes the object in the future, it turns out to be nothing more than a pebble.

She didn't pay attention to this, but a cold light flashed in her eyes, with a hint of shock and anger, as she looked at a figure in black walking out of the forest.

The figure has a thin build and wears a mask, completely covering his face.

The mask is made of a special material and seems to have the effect of shielding perception, making it impossible to peek even with Grandmaster's perception.

"No matter who you are? I advise you to leave immediately. I can treat you as if you have never met. Otherwise, be prepared to bear the wrath of the royal family and Military Department."

Granny Shi's eyes were cold and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Old man, you're not going anywhere."

Facing the threat of Granny Shi, the figure in black just sneered.

After the words fell, his figure rose up, like a big black eagle, attacking Granny Shi.

Granny Shi was worried, but faced with the opponent's continuous and fierce offensive, there was no chance of escape.

She understood that the other party's target was not her, so Princess Lingyu was the only one left.

Thinking of this, Granny Shi gritted his teeth, and the murderous intention in his heart became strong. The azure power emerged from the body surface, and his figure was like electricity and crazily attacked towards the figure in black, trying to repel it.

However, the strength of the figure in black is not weak, and is not inferior to her at all. It may be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

At the same time on the other side.

On the island, Lin Sheng and Ling Yu had reached the middle of the island unknowingly.

Stopped in front of a waterfall.

Although the area of this island is not large, there are quite a lot of cliffs on the island.

"I didn't expect there to be such a waterfall on this island."

Looking at the huge waterfall with rapid water and dozens of feet wide in front of him, Lin Sheng's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

"That's right, even though this underwater island is not very big, the ground is connected to an eye of the sea. Whenever the tide rises, there will be such a spectacular scene in front of you."

Princess Lingyu explained on the side. As he spoke, he had already come to sit down next to a piece of Bluestone by the water. He took off his shoes and put his smooth and white feet into the water. His face showed a look of enjoyment. The original dignity and nobility disappeared, but there was a bit more cunning and agility of a girl.

Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng felt something in his heart and raised his eyebrows slightly.

His Highness Commandery Princess seems to be becoming more and more relaxed in front of him.

Just when he was about to say something, Lin Sheng suddenly turned his head and glanced at the forest ahead.

"Lin Sheng Your Excellency, would you like to take a look inside the waterfall?"

Princess Lingyu, who was stirring the water, didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Sheng, and spoke excitedly.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and continue walking around, catch a few wild animals, and come back later."

Lin Sheng responded with a smile.

"Is that so? It's okay. I haven't had barbecue for a long time. It's just a good time to try the craftsmanship of Mr. Lin Sheng!"

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon nodded with a smile.

"Well, see you later..."

While speaking, Lin Sheng's figure had disappeared from the spot, shot into the mountain forest on the opposite side, and quickly disappeared.
