723: Chapter 481 723: Chapter 481 As for some fish species that live in clear water, they were not seen here.
Jiang Tang made this discovery and quietly used his Divine Sense, and even spells, to collect a bit of seawater into his Storage Bag.
When he found that the temperature of this seawater was below 50 degrees Celsius, hot like a warm spring.
Such temperatures are not suitable for the survival of common fish species.
Jiang Tang was curious.
If the waters of the West Sea were warm, could there be a volcano nearby?
He found it strange, so he used his Divine Sense to explore the islands surrounding the West Sea.
He didn’t believe that there could be a volcano on the seabed; if there really was a volcano underwater, the sea would not be below 50 degrees Celsius, such a low temperature.
The Flying Treasure continued to travel deeper into the sea.
The beauties wanted to see the underwater world and had long asked Jiang Tang to open the treasure’s Video Wall to show the situation of the seabed.
Each of the beauties was very eager to dive into the sea themselves, but Jiang Tang rejected the idea, as there might be unknown dangers.
It was still unknown whether the Great Power Holders had followed them, and most importantly, he had not yet detected if there were dangers lurking on the seabed.
The abilities of the beauties by his side were quite high, but he did not know if the Dragon King of the West Sea had the strength to deal with his people.
There were no pirates found on the surface of the sea, but who knows if there could be pirates at the bottom of the sea?
Jiang Tang didn’t want the people around him to take risks.
Inside his Flying Artifact, he could ensure the safety of those close to him.
He discovered an island in the distance, about 1000 Li away, close to another country.
This island was barren, not a blade of grass grew, and the surrounding seawater was boiling hot.
Jiang Tang felt that there could be something wrong with this island; not only was it barren without any vegetation, but also.
He also noticed that the soil on the island was black, and the stones were dark and slightly reddish.
It was the heat that made the entire island so abnormal.
Upon observing, he noticed that there was a hill with some flat ground; the whole island seemed to span over a thousand acres, together with a not-so-tall hill.
Jiang Tang discovered a volcano, so he stopped the Flying Artifact at the seabed.
He told the beauties that he had something to do outside, and the beauties were unwilling to let Jiang Tang go without them.
Each one muttered a few words of complaint; the scene was a bit lively with nine beauties speaking at once.
Everything here was novel to them; Jiang Tang surely had discovered something and wanted to explore alone.
With a new discovery, how could they not go?
In a romantic relationship, one wants to be together in every place traversed!
That’s what the beauties thought.
Although they all fancied the same man, they shared the same desire: to be with this man and to stay together in each place, every minute, and second.
Jiang Tang, besieged by the women around him, could feel the troubles of an Emperor with many wives and concubines.
Having so many women around him, it was one thing to bring them along on each journey, but wanting to follow him even for personal matters, and not following along, could give one a headache!
In fact, Jiang Tang didn’t particularly care about bringing the beauties along to see the volcano.
Previously, he had felt it was better not to fly the Flying Artifact to that place and to go check out the volcano’s location and resources alone.
But now it seemed that enjoying it alone was not an option; even if there were countless dangers, he would have to take these beauties with him.
“Alright then, would taking you all along satisfy you?”
Jiang Tang agreed to the beauties’ requests; he no longer flew the Flying Artifact deeper but navigated through the seabed, not wanting those flying high above to be aware.
He also did not want the Great Power Holders, who were continuously searching for them, to know their whereabouts.
They had just had lunch not long ago, and though many seafood had been collected, Jiang Tang continued to gather more.
Storage Bags were plentiful; he needed to bring back gifts for some people from this trip.
He thought of Ye Tian’s soldiers, thinking it would be nice to give them an extra treat.
Of course, he wanted to bring gifts for his subordinates and ordinary people at his base as well to share the joy of this trip.
The beauties watched Jiang Tang busily while they didn’t blink an eye, fixated on the Video Wall.
They discovered the aquatic realm of the West Sea was different from those of the East Sea and Southern Sea, with different seafood and underground scenery.
Suddenly, they saw on the Video Wall a city with many houses.
“Jiang Tang, look, is that an underwater city?” Zhang Nianjiao exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Tang had never seen such a city either.
He had seen on TV dramas or some documentaries that it was possible there were really cities under the sea.
As for whether those cities could be inhabited, this needed to be explored.
Zhang Nianjiao also wanted to use her X-ray vision to see if there were people living in the city.
She also wanted to see if her X-ray vision could penetrate through the Flying Artifact from inside.
No sooner had she thought this than, when she extended her Divine Sense outward, it was blocked by something like a wall, obstructing her view.
Unable to see through it with Divine Sense, she knew she had to tell Jiang Tang about it.
She had experienced the power of Jiang Tang’s Magical Treasure; her X-ray vision couldn’t even penetrate it, no wonder people outside couldn’t see in.
Of course, the Magical Treasure was under the control of its owner.
Besides Zhang Nianjiao’s attempt to project her Divine Sense, the other women, along with Jiang Tang, also sent their Divine Sense into the city.
Blocked, unable to see the beauties outside, everyone was asking Jiang Tang to open up the Magical Treasure so they could see outside.
“Alright,” Jiang Tang agreed to the women.
Jiang Tang had already discovered how the city was inhabited.
Although it was an underwater city, the houses were very strange, and he found that there was no water inside once you entered the city.
Moreover, people lived there; there were shops and houses.
He wondered, puzzled, whether the people living at the bottom of the sea didn’t need to breathe outside air?
Jiang Tang made another new discovery: the people living in the underwater city dressed differently from the people of Ancient Xia Country.
All of them were blue-eyed men and women with prominent noses.
The women were dressed in evening gowns, tight on the upper body, with skirts flaring out like an umbrella.
Most of the men wore tailcoats, regardless of age or wealth—this was their attire.
In the city, there were also those who were poorer, belonging to the workers and Duty Performers.
Their attire was not as luxurious, but their food and drink seemed decent, and their faces were all plump.
The other women only sensed that the people inside were very strange; they did not have Cultivation abilities, but there was another kind of cultivation method.
Among the women, only Zhang Nianjiao could use her X-ray vision to clearly see the faces of the people inside the city.
It was only Jiang Tang and Zhang Nianjiao who discovered that there was no seawater inside this city, as if everyone was living inside a Magical Treasure.
They didn’t need air from the outside, and they could live very well inside it.
Jiang Tang explored what kind of Magical Treasure these people were using and discovered that although they were Cultivators, they didn’t Cultivate like those from the Cultivation World.
Instead, they used Curse Cultivation.
This Curse Cultivation was somewhat similar to Shaman Cultivation, Buddha Cultivation, and Taoist Cultivation.
They used Curse Cultivation to improve their Cultivation, achieving certain desired functions and outcomes.
It also elevated their status; the higher one’s Cultivation in this city, the higher their status.
As for those who performed duties and labored, they also had Cultivation, just that their aptitude and abilities were too poor!
Just like with Cultivators, there are elites and those with low abilities, as well as ordinary people.
Jiang Tang, wanting to go in and meet them, then noticed that a ship had arrived outside the city.
This ship could sail under the sea and had the ability to submerge; he believed that, like the city, it was a Magical Treasure.
Jiang Tang didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he could feel that the city could move.
Although it didn’t move quickly, after the submersible ship docked, some people came out and entered the city.
They also carried some items from the submersible into the city.
Jiang Tang used his Divine Sense to check those items and found that they were treasures, antiques, and Magical Treasures.
Zhang Nianjiao also made a significant discovery: apart from treasures, there were also children in those boxes.
Those treasures seemed to be transported from Ancient Xia Country, and those children looked even more like the people of Ancient Xia Country.
Of course, there were also countries nearby whose human appearance was similar to that of Xia Country.
Zhang Nianjiao observed carefully and discovered that these children spoke the language of Ancient Xia Country, they were frightened inside the boxes, but what they said the most was “save us.”
