The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 138 Kun

Yu Bingwen said, "Uncle-Master, don't you think that fish down there looks a bit like a Kun?"

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Overseas Northern Classic, records: "In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of Peng is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; when it is angry and flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. This bird will migrate to the Southern Ocean when the sea is in motion."

Qingwu said, "It is indeed recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that before the Kunpeng took human form, it was like this, with a huge body and the ability to fly far away from water! And later it could even transform into the Kunpeng!" Her voice was full of amazement and awe.

Then, Qingwu looked up at the giant creature in the lake, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She exclaimed, "I never imagined that such a rare and exotic beast actually existed here! I used to think it was just a legendary creature, but seeing it with my own eyes is truly awe-inspiring!"

Her words resonated with Yu Bingwen, who also expressed his curiosity and surprise at this mysterious creature.

Qingwu continued to explain: "According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this giant fish is called Kun. It has a huge body and can soar freely in the air. When it evolves into Peng, it becomes even more powerful."

After saying this, Qingwu looked down again and said with an unreadable expression, "It seems we are still in this space, but we have arrived at the outer mountain and sea region. This place is full of all kinds of strange creatures and landscapes, completely different from what we have experienced before."

Upon hearing this, Yu Bingwen fell into deep thought. He realized that the world he inhabited was not merely confined to the place called "Mountains and Seas," but a much wider and more wondrous realm. This discovery filled him with both anticipation and dread for the adventures to come.

After all, Shan Hai and the others only knew about this place from books. Apart from a few powerful ancestors who had been there, no one dared to step into this forbidden area. But now the two of them had come here, which certainly satisfied their curiosity and fantasies, but also brought them danger!

After all, the powerful ancestors who came here back then were few and far between, and most of them perished here. This made him somewhat worried!

Yu Bingwen looked at his martial uncle and said, "Someone is trying to harm us! They have a teleportation channel connecting the mountains and the seas!"

Then, changing the subject, he said, "But why don't they just take action directly? Why go through all this trouble?"

They appeared at roughly the same interval, but only the two of them were seen; the others were nowhere to be seen. This clearly shows that the person behind them was only targeting the two of them!

Qingwu snorted coldly, "Why? Of course, it's because they don't want to be found out who it is! Maybe they've already planned to get rid of us silently and frame us! Even if there are no follow-up plans, as long as they don't kill us themselves, there will be no way to prove it after we're dead!"

"And even if we are lucky enough to survive, without any evidence, as long as they don't admit it, we can only give up the pursuit! Besides, it's just the two of us, and the human race is unlikely to start a war or go to war with other races for the sake of the two of us!"

"The person behind this really has a clever plan; they've practically cut off all our paths!"

Yu Bingwen remained silent for a moment before saying, "Uncle-Master, not many people know that we went to the mortal realm, so why did you still..."

Even if Yu Bingwen didn't say it clearly, Qingwu understood what he hadn't finished saying. It was simply that only some high-ranking members and the core disciples involved knew about it, so why were they being plotted against in such a short time?
