Chapter 370
370 The end of the underground Spirit River
Running from the underground river all the way to the sea had indeed exceeded Lu Qing’s expectations.
After flying a little further, he actually arrived at the mouth of the sea.
This place should be on the coastline of Dong Hai County, at the edge of the continental shelf that extended to the East. A big hole had been opened at the slope where the seabed suddenly became slanted.
From this hole, they could see the bottom of the sea where even the sun could hardly shine in.
Lu Qing was not in a hurry to continue exploring the depths of the sea. He checked the entrance of the cave.
The concentration of spirit Qi here had already reached the level of a level five spirit vein. However, he couldn’t see anything unusual about the entrance.
At first, he thought that there was something special about the entrance that could change the seawater that flowed in from the entrance, making it purer and giving it a strong concentration of spiritual Qi.
However, from the looks of it, the water that flowed in from here was not ordinary water, but natural water with strong spiritual energy.
After confirming this, he left the entrance and entered the bottom of the sea.
He felt a special ocean current. The target was from the deeper part of the ocean, flowing West and into this cave.
Lu Qing curiously looked around and realized that there was only ordinary seawater around him. Only the water in this current had strong spirit Qi. It was like a spiritual energy channel at the bottom of the sea, and there were quite a lot of marine creatures living nearby.
This was a matter of course. In reality, when Lu Qing followed the underground Spirit River and came all the way here, he was able to discover more aquatic creatures as the concentration of spirit Qi increased. Many of these creatures had already become spirit beasts under the nourishment of the rich Spirit Water.
However, in the underground river stage, the space was too closed, and the aquatic creatures were generally not large. Otherwise, if the space was too small, it would indeed be difficult to survive. In the sea area at the exit, the size and strength of the aquatic creatures living around the undersea spiritual energy channel were much larger.
A huge fish that was half-transformed into a human. Huge whales rested here; If they swam further into the deep sea, they could even see some intelligent sea tribes ‘settlements. They surrounded the area and built special buildings that could float in the sea, living in Xuanji.
To be honest, Lu Qing did not expect to see such a beautiful underwater world.
He had never explored the world at the bottom of the sea in such a deep and detailed way. He had never thought that the world at the bottom of the sea in the cultivation world could be so colorful.
The difference between the sea Race and the land race was even greater than the difference between the demon race and human race. Even coastal areas, such as East Sea county, had very little contact with the underwater races.
It was mainly because everyone’s previous needs were too different. What the sea Race needed, the land race might not have it at all, and vice versa. At the same time, the sea Race was not suitable for the environment on land, so it was also not suitable for humans and demons to come to the bottom of the sea. It was natural that the two sides had little contact with each other.
At the same time, Lu Qing also discovered that the degree of civilization of these underwater settlements was very low. Lu Qing spent more than an hour observing a murloc settlement. They didn’t communicate much with each other, their languages weren’t developed, and their level of civilization was low. At most, they had only one leader, and everyone listened to their leader.
Lu Qing even suspected that the communication between these underwater settlements might be very limited. They did not have any currency. In fact, Lu Qing did not even see any currency similar to spirit stones. There was no such thing as trading.
Of course, it was also possible that Lu Qing had not seen enough and had not observed for long enough.
However, he really didn’t have much time left to stay here and make a long scientific observation.
In reality, he had already spent karma several times to make up for the time he had left his body to reach this place. The price of replenishing the time he spent outside his body was still within his acceptable range, but it was actually quite expensive.
He didn’t continue to observe and continued to go deeper.
Soon, he felt that the concentration of the spiritual energy current had increased to the sixth level.
This was within his expectations. However, Lu Qing still could not help but feel surprised when he truly felt this way.
The level of spirit energy with a level-six spirit Meridian was impressive.
Gui Gui, there were only three of them in the entire Yan country. Lu Qing had used the exchange tab to strengthen Yuyan mountain a few times, but it had not reached this level. It still had a level five spirit Meridian. In the entire Yan country, only Yunxiao mountain in Wuzhou province and luoyun Valley in Xing province could have such a level.
However, Lu Qing noticed something when he reached this place. He did not see any other underwater races nearby.
Lu Qing did not think that they were unwilling to come here.
The more concentrated the spiritual Qi was, the more attractive it would be to any living creature that needed spiritual Qi for cultivation.
Since it wasn’t that they didn’t want to come, it was possible that they didn’t dare to come.
At this point, Lu Qing could be considered to have a guess.
He continued forward, and soon, what he saw proved that his guess was true.
There was a huge Ocean City here.
At the same time, Lu Qing also felt that he had arrived at the source.
The end of the spirit Qi current was at the center of the ocean City.
After entering it, in terms of scale, this Ocean City was not smaller than Yan city.
Due to the special environment, the underwater city was a complete three-dimensional city. In a city, there would be roads in the gaps between buildings, similar to those in human cities. These roads were not only accessible in all directions, but they were also intertwined into a network in the space. It looked very special from a distance and had a very obvious design.
At the same time, Lu Qing also saw some resource points that were similar to breeding farms at the edge of the city. It was planned into a cube. In this Water Cube, there were some specific aquatic creatures and even some underwater spiritual plants. It was unknown whether they were used for food or medicinal herbs.
The interior of the city was also built in the same style, and it was very unique.
A large number of sea creatures were wandering around the city, just like humans.
Among them, there would be a more obvious division of classes, mostly according to race. The Sharkmen, Whalers, and merfolk-like halflings obviously had a higher status. As for the sea Race that had not fully transformed, their status was obviously lower.
Of course, some powerful individuals could break through the limits of this race.
Lu Qing admired the magnificent scenery of the underwater city as he advanced toward the center of the city.
On the way, he thought about it carefully. He didn’t know the name of this underwater city. Could the Yan Kingdom and the Lu family make use of it? Not to mention anything else, if they could open up a trading channel, it would actually be quite good.
Although there was a huge difference between the two sides, after exchanging what they needed, such a huge force would still be profitable.
At the same time, Lu Qing had also thrown his previous thoughts that the underwater races were all undeveloped civilizations to the back of his mind. Whoever still thought this way after seeing such a scene would be stupid to the heavens.
