The Eternal Supreme

Chapter 192: Rainbow Fog

Yunxiao was lying on the ground in misery, so he did not bother to pay attention to Duan Yue. If the Divine Realm Tablet was with him, he would certainly recover faster. But now, he could only meditate with the Great Expansion Divine Technique quietly and nourish his dried up spiritual ocean bit by bit. He knew that it was extremely difficult to even just make both of them float with Duan Yue’s soul power. Besides, the time that the rainbow fog appeared was uncertain, and if it scattered this time, he did not know how long he would have to wait for the next time. Therefore, he must recover as fast as possible, and then find the right path to the Kunwu Divine Tree.

“Hey, lad, I actually quite admire you. What tier of an alchemist are you? You’re not fourth-tier, are you?” When he saw Yunxiao ignore him, Duan Yue did not mind but talked to himself, “A fifteen-year-old fourth-tier alchemist…Tsk, tsk, even Master Luo Ke of Skyfragrance Empire and Master Yang Di of your Firecrow Empire are not as gifted as you, I think. Which power have you been trained by?”

After recovering a little bit of his soul power, Yunxiao took out some medicinal pills from his ring with great difficulty and swallowed them as if they were some snacks. Just now, his soul power was exhausted and he could not even open his storage ring. When he saw the astounded look on Duan Yue’s face, he snorted coldly and said, “As a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster, don’t tell me you don’t have some medicinal pills that can restore Primordial Qi?”

Duan Yue swallowed and smiled bitterly, “I’m a loner who hunts sea beasts in exchange for resources, so I naturally can’t compare with rich alchemists like you, who own many Tigerking chariots and countless common medicinal pills. I only have a few fourth-tier healing pills.”

“A poor wretch!” Yunxiao held up a middle finger and uttered a disdainful remark. Then, he closed his eyes and began to regulate his breath.

“Hey, if you have extra medicinal pills, give some that can restore Primordial Qi to me. You don’t need them now anyway.” Upset by the remark, Duan Yue took out the only few fourth-tier healing pills he had, hesitating whether he should take them or not. He was exhausted of Primordial Qi and not wounded, so they were useless to him. That was why he asked Yunxiao for some medicinal pills.

Yunxiao opened his eyes slightly as he snorted and said, “Can’t I keep them if I don’t need them now? Well, it is not that you can’t have them, but you need to exchange them with something!”

“Fu*k, are you serious!” Duan Yue glared at him and scolded, “We are in the same boat now and our lives are tied together, and yet you are still so stingy? If I had money, I wouldn’t ask you for medicinal pills!”

Yunxiao said, “Stop pretending to be poor with me. Since you hunt sea beasts every day, you should have many demon cores of sea beasts, right? You can exchange a Qi-converging pill with a fourth-tier or above demon core.”

“This is robbery!” Duan Yue said angrily, “A Qi-converging pill is the most basic third-tier restorative medicinal pill. Why must I exchange it with a fourth-tier demon core? Besides, third-tier medicinal pills are not of great use to me!”

Yunxiao glared at him and said coldly, “I haven’t charged you for the medicinal pills you took earlier. As for whether they are useful or not, you should know very well, since you’ve taken them!”

Duan Yue was speechless instantly. Those healing pills he took earlier were indeed third-tier medicinal pills, but their effects were better than the fourth-tier medicinal pills he kept as treasures. He said lamely, “Even so, they can’t be so expensive, can they? Whenever I go out to sea, I can kill a dozen sea beasts at most, but it takes me more than a month. And not many of them are fourth-tier.”

“Hmph! It took me several days to refine a medicinal pill. If you don’t want to exchange, shut your mouth! I don’t have time to argue with you!” After saying that, Yunxiao closed his eyes and began to regulate his breath, paying Duan Yue no more heed.

The cold-shoulder treatment made Duan Yue think for a moment with a dark face, only then did he pull out a storage bag and reluctantly throw it over. “A total of seventy-six fourth-tier demon cores exchange for one hundred Qi-converging pills. You won’t be so calculative about the small difference with me, right?”

After counting them, Yunxiao threw out a storage bag as well.

Duan Yue took it, and when he glanced inside, he became so angry that he almost fainted. There were exactly seventy-six Qi-converging pills in the bag, not a pill more and not one less. He was so angry that he turned around and sat down with his back facing Yunxiao. Then, he grabbed a handful of pills and shoved them into his mouth, as if to vent his anger. But, he still sent out his soul power to envelope both of them.

So, they sat back to back to recover their strength. After drifting for an unknown amount of time in the rainbow fog, the pink dust began to gradually turn fainter, and the fog slowly faded. After some time, the sky gradually grew clear and bright. They opened their eyes slightly and saw a quiet world with the sea and the sky merge into one.

Duan Yue stood up and gazed solemnly at the sea. A moment later, he said in a deep voice, “This is no longer the sea at Qinghai!”

Yunxiao lifted his eyes and glanced back over his shoulder at the rainbow fog that began to gradually fade away. A hint of a smile emerged on the corner of his mouth as he said, “Isn’t this perfect? The space tunnel of a fixed rainbow fog like this one is also fixed. Since we can come out, it proves that this is the place with a Kunwu Divine Tree.”

Duan Yue glanced at him in astonishment. When he saw his face beam with color, he asked, “You’ve recovered?”

With a wry smile, Yunxiao said, “Almost! Had I known, I would rather not recover.”

“Why?” Duan Yue was shocked. It was common knowledge that it took an alchemist a very long time to recover after his soul power was exhausted, and he knew that as well. But, how long had it been? He immediately credited that to those medicinal pills Yunxiao had taken, only then did he feel relieved. “Why would you rather not recover?”

Yunxiao’s eyes flickered as he said, “Because, as soon as I sent out my divine sense, I discovered that we’ve been surrounded. Ignorance is bliss! Look at how happy you are when you know nothing.”

That gave Duan Yue a fright, and he quickly glanced around in terror. The sea was unusually calm, without even a gust of breeze, and there was a faint oppressive feeling, but he found no traces of the enemy. However, he had a great admiration for Yunxiao’s ability now, so he raised his vigilance to the highest level and was extremely careful.

Yunxiao smiled wryly and said, “Take it easy, resistance is useless! They are all under the sea. This place should be a deep-sea somewhere. We’ve entered the territory of a certain sea clan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, numerous splashes exploded on the sea, as if a bombardment had blown many holes in the water. Hundreds of sea people rose out of the sea, and the Tigerking chariot was tightly surrounded in just a flash!

Duan Yue was dumbfounded by the sight. These sea people were all standing in the air, each with a huge bubble under his feet that seemed to be controllable. That made him breathe a sigh of relief. Just now, when he saw these hundreds of people standing in the air, he thought they were all Martial Grandmasters, and it nearly frightened him to death.

“Damn humans, how dare you come here again!” Among the hundreds of sea people, a man standing in the middle with a smaller frame spoke coldly. They were not much different in size or appearance from humans, except for some scales on the arms and a fin that protruded from the back of the head.

“Are you going to allow yourself to be seized without putting up a fight or you want us to do it with force?”

The aura exuded from this sea man reached the level of a five-stars Martial Grandmaster. Although Duan Yue was not afraid, there were simply too many of them, and there were also many sea people of the Martial Grandmaster level scattered among them, not less than ten of them.

Yunxiao took a deep breath and said in a loud voice, “Please pardon us, my lords! We just accidentally entered your waters while running for our lives, and are not trespassers. I hope my lords understand.”

“Hmph! Still trying to quibble! No matter how you come here, as long as you trespass the Firefish clan’s water, you will have to allow yourself to be seized without putting up a fight and let our clan leader decide your fate!” The man’s eyes flashed coldly as he lifted a golden fork, as if he would strike if they could not agree to each other.

Looking at the hundreds of Firefish people with a murderous look on their faces, Yunxiao broke out in a cold sweat. The struggle between these sea people was very fierce, which made them all cruel and unreasonable. Especially when dealing with human beings, they even took pleasure in killing without asking anything. Otherwise, he would not have slaughtered all the sea people within eight thousand miles of waters and smeared the sea red with blood when he was chased by the imperial clans of the Four Seas and the Bo family.

Anyhow, one had to be humble when trapped in an inferior situation. Yunxiao smiled lamely and said, “Brothers, we bore you no malice. You can take us captive, but you have to spare our lives.”

He and Duan Yue immediately gave up the thought of resisting, allowing the people of the Firefish clan to come over and bind them up tightly. Yunxiao struggled lightly and found that the rope was made with the tendon of some unknown sea beast, which was very elastic and could not be broken.

“Hmph! You are obedient, I give you that. I’ll leave you a whole corpse later!” the man sneered. “Let’s bring them to the clan leader!”

The two of them were immediately carried toward the bottom of the sea. Stunned, Yunxiao said, “A whole corpse? Hey, hey, are you serious? We had allowed ourselves to be seized, and yet you still want to kill us? Do you keep your words or not?”

A man of the Firefish clan took out two pearls and shoved them into their mouths. As soon as they entered the sea, they felt a strange feeling: They could actually breathe and talk at any time just like when they were on the ground. Only then did they realize that what the man gave them were water-repelling pearls, a kind of treasure that allowed land creatures to move freely in the water.

Yunxiao was slightly surprised. Since they wanted to kill the two of them, why did they give them such a treasure? A water-repelling pearl was extremely rare among human beings, and its price was expensive. Although there was a large amount of them in the sea clans, there was no need to waste them, was it?

Duan Yue, on the other hand, appeared to have calmed down. He seemed a little different from before, and his eyes were devoid of emotions as if he had a plan in his mind. Yunxiao was slightly taken aback at the sight, and he seemed to understand something.

The hundreds of people from the Firefish clan took them and swam for a long time. Their speed in the water was extremely fast, faster than a Martial Grandmaster flying in the air. However, they seemed to not have much understanding about mystic artifacts, because they did not take away their storage rings, and about a hundred of them pushed the Tigerking chariot while following closely behind.

“Brother, where are you taking us? Why must you kill us? As the saying goes, separated as we are thousands of miles apart, we come together as if by predestination. It is fate that brings us together, so we can be friends,” Yunxiao smiled and said to the five-stars Martial Grandmaster.

“Friends?” The man showed a mocking look and said disdainfully, “Do you think humans are worthy of being friends with the sea people? You really think too highly of yourself!”
