Tide Promotion

Jing Qian galloped through the deep sea, a distance of three thousand li, arriving by noon after setting off in the morning!

While sailing, he suddenly spotted a target. He immediately vanished into the void, and when he reappeared, he was inside the intestines of a killer whale.

Holding two Crocodile Dragon Teeth, he pierced its heart and stomach, stripped its bones, and drained its blood. In no time, he had added another [White Fang] trophy.

Then, his figure flickered, and he vanished into the Destiny Stele Space. He unleashed a barrage on the killer whale's soul, harvesting a [Whale Tiger] Destiny Constitution, several pieces of sea area information, and a slight increase in [Destiny Essence].

The entire process was smooth and fluid, like flowing clouds and water, comparable to Lao Mo cleaning fish.

Jing Qian's control over his three [Destiny Constitutions] was also rapidly improving, and his combat power was soaring every moment!

After dismembering the killer whale and collecting materials, Jing Qian didn't pause for a moment. With a flick of the Dragon Tooth in his hand, he shot out again.

Where the sword's edge pointed, there was a new enemy!

As of now, his set of gut-wrenching combo attacks had not been stopped by any Ninth-Grade Sea Demon.

He calculated the time, considering his travel speed, and estimated that he should be able to upgrade his [Tide] Destiny Constitution to the [Azure Wing] rank before the ship arrived.

It was just tough on the various Sea Race and Sea Demons in this vast sea area.

Within a radius of ten thousand li, the Ninth-Grade Sea Demons were likely to be completely wiped out by him alone.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

At the bottom of the vast and deep ocean, there was a massive underwater volcano, steaming with subterranean poisonous fire, boiling the surrounding seawater.

However, in this forbidden zone for living beings, there was a peculiar figure bathing in the magma.

It had a human body and a fish tail, standing ten feet tall, leisurely soaking in the magma.

Suddenly, it received a piece of information, a subtle fluctuation from the deep sea, like the whisper of the ocean or the murmur of the volcano.

The figure moved slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes, which quickly turned into impatience at being disturbed.

It waved its hand and summoned a long, slender, colorful sea snake from the outer edge of the volcano, and spoke:

"The Crocodile Dragon is dead. Someone took advantage of its absence and is slaughtering our Sea Race descendants in its territory."

"Go and take over the Crocodile Dragon's position, guard its sea area, and by the way, grind the person who killed our descendants to dust as a warning!"

The sea snake nodded upon hearing this, then transformed into a streak of colorful light and sped away.

Although the Crocodile Dragon's territory was close to human forces and not as stable as the inner sea areas, it was precisely because of this that there were always human prey to harvest, making it quite fertile.

This Seventh-Grade sea snake was much stronger than the Crocodile Dragon. It had no dissatisfaction with the Merman's arrangement and immediately took office.

It left the area covered by the underwater volcano and headed north without stopping. In five days, it had crossed nearly a hundred thousand li.

Following the route in its memory, it entered the sea area where the Crocodile Dragon was located.

It had planned to find a [White Fang] rank Sea Demon to help it familiarize itself with the terrain and environment.

But to its surprise, after traveling several thousand li, it didn't encounter a single one!

"What do the people of [Hun Zhou] want to do? How can they be so unruly!"

The sea snake's temper flared!

The outer sea of Hun Zhou had always been a breeding ground for low-level Sea Demons, with countless varieties emerging endlessly.

But now, this vast sea area seemed to have been swept clean, not even a shadow of a creature remained.

It refused to believe it and continued forward until, within its line of sight, it saw a sizable human fleet.

The leading warship was one the sea snake recognized, the main seventh-grade warship of the Hun Zhou navy.

This warship, leading a group of smaller boats, was dragging a warship wreck from the seabed.

Without much thought, the sea snake concluded that this group of strong humans must have killed its Sea Race offspring!

It didn't act impulsively but concealed its aura, suppressing its escape light to the minimum, and charged towards the fleet.

In an instant, the Blue Blood Great Demon's escape light reached the fleet. The seawater, swept by its magic power, surged into towering waves.

"Ding!"

A chime sounded from the Hun Yi Number, and a pale blue light membrane expanded from the warship as its center, protecting the entire fleet.

The next second, a loud human voice rang out from the warship:

"Great Demon attack! We will hold it off. All ships, do not delay, return to the island quickly!"

With that, the warship shot out like a cannonball, attacking the sea snake.

The remaining small boats were also veterans who had sailed the seas for years. They immediately scattered like birds and beasts, dispersing in all directions.

This was a race against death; no one dared to delay.

The vast, boundless blue sea stretched out. Without the protection of the Hun Yi Number, it was unknown how many ships would be able to return to HunZhou Island.

Among the many fleeing ships, on one particular vessel, Jing Qian's figure suddenly appeared in a closed cabin.

The cabin door was locked from the outside. He had used the power of Sumeru to slip through the crack in the door.

After a full month of surfing the seas, Jing Qian's appearance and demeanor had undergone a significant change.

Tens of thousands of miles of underwater travel and dozens of life-and-death battles had caused his mental and physical strength to evolve completely.

Just this one month's experience had already made the depth of his life surpass the accumulation of his previous twenty years.

At this moment, he was wearing killer whale skin shorts, a large black fish scale on his chest, and clogs made from a pair of shrimp claws on his feet, a truly bizarre sight.

Beneath the bizarre decorations was a young body with beautiful lines and balanced proportions.

Nourished by a massive amount of Destiny Essence, his height had grown again, exceeding four and a half feet.

The materials on his upper body were all White Fang level ranked treasures, quite valuable.

Although this outfit looked like performance art, in reality, it was comparable to a string of walking knife coins.

The cabin was piled with messy items, looking like there was no place to stand.

But for Jing Qian, this place was a rare quiet spot.

With the door closed, the outside world's disturbances couldn't get in, and he could finally relax his tense mind a little.

After boarding the ship, he didn't need to expend any more effort; someone immediately pulled him along, returning him to the human world.

As for the battle between the seventh-grade Sea Serpent and the Hun Yi Number, he completely cast it out of his mind.

He still lacked a large amount of knowledge and resources and urgently needed to acquire more information. All of this required him to go to human settlements to resolve.

He was already a little impatient.

Jing Qian found a corner in the ship's cabin and lay down peacefully.

The journey ahead was a rare period of rest.

However, although it was rest, he didn't dare to relax. Within his Sea of Consciousness, the knowledge of the Essence Extraction Art was churning.

He was only one step away from completely comprehending the Seal Talisman Art corresponding to Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits!

Before disembarking, this secret art would definitely be cultivated successfully!

At the same time, thinking of the gains from the past month, he glanced at the information on his Destiny Stele:

Host: Jing Qian
Lifespan: 150 years
Destiny Essence: 9.97 (White Fang)
Destiny Constitution: Sumeru (Golden Root), Tide (Blue Blood 1.3/10), Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits (Azure Wing)
Destiny Art: Dragon Travel Technique
Destiny Forging Opportunity: 0

Even he himself hadn't expected that in just one month, he could re-refine the Tide Destiny Constitution thirteen times.

Not only did it complete the promotion of Azure Wing, but even the path to the promotion of Blue Blood had officially begun.

Currently, he needed to re-refine Tide eighty-seven more times to complete the Blue Blood promotion.

This was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task, but it could not completely stop Jing Qian's enthusiasm.

It was just tough on the many Sea Race descendants, who had to contribute all of their flesh, blood, and divine souls!

After tens of thousands of miles of cruising, his Dragon Travel Technique finally reached the introductory level, appearing on his Destiny Stele.

After its promotion, the power of Tide surged again. Combined with the Dragon Travel Technique, Jing Qian's speed in the sea was almost comparable to that of a Crimson Scale Dragon Carp.

None of the many ninth-grade Sea Demons he encountered could match him.

Furthermore, after the Tide Destiny Constitution was promoted to Azure Wing, it gained a new ability.

He closed his eyes and focused, feeling the surging power of Tide.

With a thought, he extended this power, and it actually established a subtle connection with the ship beneath him.

He was surprised to find that he could penetrate every corner of the ship and resonate with the ship itself.

As long as he willed it, the ship beneath his feet could also receive the blessing of Tide, greatly increasing its sailing speed!

The Azure Wing's Tide could easily control the ship, moving without wind, like adding wings to a tiger.

To avoid being discovered, Jing Qian retracted the power of the Tide, not interfering with the ship's operation.

He entered meditation again, immersing himself in the digestion of knowledge and memories.

The first day passed smoothly.

But just as Jing Qian thought he would reach his destination safely and soundly, a sudden drastic change occurred on the ship!

A violent fluctuation of magical power came from outside, directly entering his perception.

Jing Qian awoke from his meditation, entered the dimensional space, and stealthily moved towards the source of the magical power fluctuation.
