After Steward Qiu obtained a piece of Infinite Crystal Stone, the look of difficulty on his face vanished completely.

He looked around and then whispered, "This matter, the Nan Heng Demigod does not allow us to gossip about."

"However, for the cultivation forces often active in the Nan Heng Sea, it actually isn't much of a secret either."

Hearing this, Gu Qijue found himself a bit intrigued.

Ji Yinyue felt the same; both were listening for Steward Qiu to continue.

Having received his benefit, Steward Qiu naturally didn't dare to withhold information.

Otherwise, if these two Great Emperors were unhappy, they might just kill him on the spot.

"It is said that in the Nan Heng Sea, a true Divine Spirit has perished."

"The Divine Spirit's blood has polluted the Nan Heng Sea."

"The Demon Race creatures polluted by the Divine Spirit's blood become extremely murderous, extremely violent."

"Those Demon Race creatures not polluted by the Divine Spirit's blood want to take out this group of crazed ones."

"However, those polluted beings may only appear once or twice throughout the year."

"At other times, they seem to gather near the remains of the Divine Spirit."

"But…"

Steward Qiu, reaching a very crucial point, suddenly stopped speaking.

Gu Qijue didn't ask him anything further.

Because asking Steward Qiu "but what" wouldn't yield any answers.

Gu Qijue tossed another piece of Infinite Crystal Stone, signaling Steward Qiu to continue.

After obtaining another Infinite Crystal, Steward Qiu spoke fluently again.

"But, the Nan Heng Demigod and some other powerhouses have searched the Nan Heng Sea."

"Within the Nan Heng Sea, they did not sense any Divine Spirit aura, nor did they find any Divine Relic."

"This matter has become very perplexing, no one knows whether the Divine remains are indeed in the Nan Heng Sea."

The words of Steward Qiu seemed to say nothing much.

He rambled on to Gu Qijue, ultimately presenting an unproven hypothesis.

Since it hasn't been proven, the Demon Race creatures in the Nan Heng Sea might be polluted by Divine Spirit blood, or perhaps due to some other issues.

No matter the reason for the confusion among the Demon Race in the Nan Heng Sea, Gu Qijue intended to explore the place himself.

He immediately posed his last question, "Is there anything specific to watch out for when entering the Nan Heng Sea now?"

Upon hearing this, Steward Qiu asked in surprise, "The Great Emperor wishes to enter the Nan Heng Sea?"

Gu Qijue nodded, "That's correct."

Upon receiving this news, Steward Qiu said, "The Nan Heng Sea is very chaotic right now, if the Great Emperor needs some resources from there, our merchant guild might have them."

Clearly, he hoped Gu Qijue would go to their guild to purchase resources.

This guy was truly a thorough businessman, never steering away from money.

Gu Qijue didn't waste time on pleasantries with this guy and directly took Ji Yinyue with him into the Nan Heng Sea.

Upon entering the Nan Heng Sea, Gu Qijue was immediately certain that there were definitely Divine Remains here.

It wasn't that he sensed something personally, but the Infinite Engine had detected Divine aura.

[Divine aura detected, approximate location pinpointed!]

A very rough map appeared in Gu Qijue's mind.

He immediately referred to this map and proceeded with Ji Yinyue.

The Divine Relics themselves were invaluable materials, and there could be other top treasures inside a Divine being's Storage Ring.

For the sake of creating a god, Gu Qijue had nearly emptied his own resources.

But should he acquire a Divine Relic and the Storage Treasure of a Divine being, he would undoubtedly replenish greatly.

As Gu Qijue led Ji Yinyue through the Nan Heng Sea, they saw numerous corpses of Demon Race creatures who had died in battle.

The slaughter among the Demon Race was extremely brutal.

In many places, the seawater itself was relentless with blood.

Gu Qijue swiftly navigated through the sea with Ji Yinyue; the closer he got to the Divine Relic, the better the detection effect of the Infinite Engine.

After proceeding for a while, the pressure of the surrounding seawater grew stronger.

A deep abyssal trench then appeared in front of them.

"Let's go down and take a look," Gu Qijue roughly understood why the demigods of the Southern Heng had failed to discover the Divine Relic.

This trench was quite peculiar.

Had it not been for the Infinite Engine detecting the Divine Relic down here, he would have sensed nothing.

This trench blocked his senses, and the deeper they went, the more terrifying the pressure became.

The Nan Heng Demigod should have also explored this trench.

However, they were uncertain whether the Divine Relic was truly below, so they did not continue exploring.

Another reason was that the Nan Heng Demigod and others had limited strength and couldn't approach the Divine Relic.

Gu Qijue, guiding Ji Yinyue further down the trench, enveloped the two with his powerful and domineering demonic power to shield them from external pressure.

As they approached the location detected by the Infinite Engine, they witnessed a truly astonishing sight!

Ji Yinyue exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a Divine Spirit?"

She saw a Blood Dragon of an inconceivable size!

From it, she felt an overwhelming oppressive force!

When the Emperor Star Will appeared previously, it would transform into a Black Dragon that covered the sky.

This Blood Dragon was even larger than the Black Dragon formed by the Emperor Star Will!

Moreover, as Gu Qijue arrived here, massive amounts of blood-colored energy of the Divine Level were drawn to him, continuously surging towards him.

Gu Qijue's face soon showed an expression of ecstatic joy.

This was an ancient Blood Dragon, its level higher than even the Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors—indeed, a Divine Level ancient dragon.

Though it had died of old age here, it had left behind a legacy.

But its legacy had been without a recipient from the Dragon Race for so long, its power was starting to dissipate.

Many weaker Demon Races flourished at an incredible speed, nourished by the Dragon Blood.

Somewhat awkwardly, Ji Yinyue, not being a native Demon Race of this place, couldn't gain any benefits at all.

Massive and pure Dragon Blood power relentlessly washed over Gu Qijue's body, madly integrating into him.

This allowed his realm to effortlessly break through to Demigod.

His strength was already formidable, and after achieving Demigod, no other Demigod could stand a chance against him.

The immense power of the Blood Dragon continued to enhance his strength at the Demigod stage.

His Demigod Crystal Core quickly became highly condensed and resilient.

His power visibly surged from Demigod First Level to Second Level, Third Level, Fourth Level, and shot up to Fifth Level before halting!

The once enormous body of the Blood Dragon gradually transformed into a Dragon Egg.

Within the Dragon Egg, an earth-shattering, terrifying power was brewing.

Gu Qijue sensed for a moment and once again displayed an expression of ecstatic joy.

Inside the Dragon Egg, there existed a Demigod life form, with power approaching that of a Divine Spirit!

This trip to the Nan Heng Domain was proven to be absolutely rewarding!
