Chapter 1736 - 1735: Nami, Barrier Black Hole!
Qi Ling drank the red wine in her glass in one go and then stood up, walking step by step to Qin Feng. She said, "I need the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’."
"Ah?!!"
Qin Feng was taken aback and said, "What do you need the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’ for?"
"The ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’ has an excellent effect; it allows for ’consciousness merging,’ which is greatly beneficial for command," Qi Ling said. "Especially since we are about to face the task of opening the Wilderness world, involving 750,000 strongmen worldwide. It is very challenging, and I am also unfamiliar with the Wilderness world."
"But what use is there for you to merge consciousness with me?"
Qin Feng spread his hands and said.
"It’s not just you. To my knowledge, among the five of you who practice the Five Elements Immortal Power, Ning Tingxue and Ni Chang have also cultivated the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book.’ At that time, they can merge consciousness together for information transmission. Additionally, Zuoqiu Feng, Red Moon, Unrivaled, Lin, and others have also practiced with you. If we can expand the consciousness merging further, it will facilitate information transmission for me," Qi Ling said.
"..."
Qin Feng was terribly embarrassed.
Only then did he understand that Zuoqiu Feng’s past worries weren’t about wanting that kind of relationship with him but for Qi Ling’s matter.
"Then do you know that learning the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’ requires... that thing?"
Qin Feng clarified explicitly.
"Of course."
Qi Ling shrugged and said, "That’s why I’m dressed like this tonight."
"..."
Qin Feng looked her up and down, feeling a surge of passion.
It must be said.
This Deputy Director of the Yanhuang suddenly donning such a seductive outfit indeed had a unique charm.
However.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "No, this isn’t appropriate. Look, I’m a married man, we’re not related, and there are no feelings involved. Doing that kind of thing is inappropriate."
"For the country, for the world, it is appropriate."
Qi Ling said seriously.
"..."
Qin Feng’s heart trembled.
This woman is so passionate about the world that she could even sacrifice her life in the Black Mountain Grand Canyon, let alone a bit of that.
For a moment, Qin Feng was moved by her. So, he solemnly nodded and said, "Since you say so, for our world, if we don’t enter hell, who will?"
...
The next morning, at dawn.
The sunlight over the sea appeared extraordinarily bright.
Qin Feng woke up groggily; by then, Qi Ling was already getting dressed, changing back into her previous military uniform. She turned to glance at Qin Feng and said, "Next, I will study the ’consciousness merging’ technique as soon as possible, striving to perform it at long distances. You can rest for now!"
"Cough, cough, it’s useless."
Qin Feng said, embarrassed, "The improvement speed of the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’ is very slow. It can’t improve in the coming days or months. Moreover, the fastest way to enhance the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’ has never been through cultivation."
"Oh? Then what is it?"
Qi Ling asked.
"Of course, it’s ’Yin Yang circulation’."
Qin Feng spread his hands and said.
Indeed.
The "Mandarin Duck Treasure Book" is different from other cultivation techniques. Significant improvements can’t be achieved merely through the mental method; the simplest and most direct way is through that.
Qi Ling paused slightly upon hearing this. Initially about to leave, she stopped and refocused her attention on Qin Feng.
Seeing this, Qin Feng was startled and quickly covered himself, saying, "Hey, hey, it’s already morning. You can’t get any ideas..."
Finally, Qi Ling shook her head with a smile and said, "You’re the most repressed man I’ve ever met. Clearly thinking about it desperately inside, yet always showing a ’reluctant’ and forced appearance."
With that, she went out.
"..."
Qin Feng pouted, "Is this called repressed? This is clearly called ’proper’..."
...
Soon.
Qin Feng’s massive fleet arrived near Peach Blossom Island.
Over there, some high-ranking commanders of the Mermaid Clan were already leading a vast Sea Beast group in waiting.
The crowd was shocked upon seeing that enormous Sea Beast group.
Many of them had seen Sea Beasts before.
However.
So many Sea Beasts had never been seen gathered together in such haste.
In total, they feared there were more than 100,000!!
The scene was truly spectacular.
Next.
750,000 people rode on these 100,000 Sea Beasts.
The Sea Beasts were enormous; even just a corner emerging from the water could carry at least a hundred people apiece.
Therefore, for 750,000 people, it was not a problem at all.
The vast Sea Beast group set out mightily in the direction of Vine Dragon Mountain.
Riding on the head of a whale-like Sea Beast, Qin Feng asked a high-ranking commander nearby, "By the way, where is Nami?"
"The Princess has some very important matters, so she can’t personally come to meet you. We sincerely apologize."
The commander said apologetically.
Qin Feng noticed a hint of anxiety and concern in his eyes and asked again, "What exactly happened?"
"Nothing, just..." The commander finally gritted his teeth and said, "It’s like this: the Princess went into a barrier cave at the ’Divine Miracle,’ and there has been no news from her. We’ve sent several people in to search, all to no avail..."
"Is that so?!!"
Qin Feng frowned.
No wonder he couldn’t reach Nami earlier using the conch.
The 100,000 Sea Beast group was arranged to be sent by the Mermaid Clan, on the orders of the King.
"This morning, the King and Queen, worried about the Princess, went into the barrier black hole. They instructed me not to tell you for fear of delaying your mission..." the commander said very worriedly.
Qin Feng’s brow furrowed tightly, "Give me time. After my task is complete, I will definitely pay a visit."
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Several commanders were excited, kneeling to Qin Feng.
In their eyes, Qin Feng was the savior.
Qin Feng was eager to find out Nami’s whereabouts now.
But he knew more clearly that the priority was to prevent the catastrophe, or else the whole world would face destruction.
Moreover.
He also knew that Nami was presently not in immediate danger.
The conch that linked him and Nami was still there.
If either of them encountered trouble, the conch would perish as well.
The sun rose and set.
Finally, as the sun set, the 100,000 Sea Beasts, traveling with full strength, brought them to a position 300 li away from Vine Dragon Mountain.
Ahead lay Vine Dragon Mountain, shrouded by mysterious clouds and mist over 300 li.
Qin Feng and his team did not advance further.
Because the upcoming Array Formation would start from here!
At this moment.
Qi Ling rode a bird engulfed in flames, flying in the sky.
That was her Beast Pet, a Flamingo.
She called out to everyone on the 100,000 Sea Beasts, "Next, everyone needs to take positions based on the commands of the Great Array Master Baili Qiurong!!"
"Yes!!"
The crowd responded in unison.
Then.
Baili Qiurong rode a Spiritual Bird Flying Eagle to Qi Ling’s side.
The Spiritual Bird Flying Eagle was a Spiritual Beast raised by the Yanhuang Department, allowing Baili Qiurong to oversee the whole Array’s setup, so she also rode one.
