#388 - In the Coral Sea, there lived a man

"Actually, I wanted to ask about the Nether Abyss of the North Sea," Xu Ming asked with a smile, stating it directly.

"Nether Abyss of the North Sea?" When Lord Turtle heard these words, his expression faltered slightly. "I wonder why Lord Xu is suddenly interested in the Nether Abyss of the North Sea. It's not a good place."

"To be honest, Lord Turtle," Xu Ming cupped his fist and said, "I actually want to retrieve the Exquisite Pearl. I met with His Majesty before, and His Majesty told me that the Exquisite Pearl is in the Nether Abyss of the North Sea, and then gave me a talisman, which is on the back of my hand."

"I see."

Lord Turtle nodded and stroked his beard.

Although he didn't know why this Lord Xu wanted to retrieve the Exquisite Pearl, since His Majesty had permitted it, there was nothing he could say.

"Lord Xu, regarding this Nether Abyss of the North Sea, this humble official still advises Lord Xu not to go," Lord Turtle said to Xu Ming.

"I hope Lord Turtle can explain in more detail," Xu Ming said.

Xu Ming felt that the other party was talking nonsense. He definitely knew that the Nether Abyss of the North Sea was not easy to enter. Otherwise, would he have come to ask you about the situation and inquire about information? He would have jumped in headfirst long ago.

Lord Turtle stroked his beard and said earnestly, "This Nether Abyss of the North Sea is the deepest ravine in the North Sea. In this ravine, there are all kinds of demonic beasts, and some of them have survived from ancient times, extremely ferocious, and are now in that abyss.

In addition to the demonic beasts, the Nether Abyss of the North Sea also has some ancient remnants of fierce formations.

Many of these fierce formations cannot be broken even by His Majesty.

Lord Xu, don't underestimate those formations just because they have been around for so many years. In fact, the fierce formations are still functioning, which is very terrifying.

In the Four Seas, there is no shortage of cultivators who want to go to the Nether Abyss of the North Sea to get rich overnight, but all of these cultivators have gone and never returned.

The Exquisite Pearl that Lord Xu wants is in the mouth of a Devouring Heaven Clam, which is guarded by various sea demonic beasts.

Not to mention those demonic beasts surrounding the Devouring Heaven Clam, even the Devouring Heaven Clam is not easy to provoke."

As he spoke, Lord Turtle felt that he might have gone a little too far, as if he was not giving the other party face, as if he was very disdainful of the other party's strength. So, he euphemistically added:

"This humble official knows that Lord Xu is a young hero, but precisely because of this, this humble official is even more unwilling for a heaven-gifted talent like Lord Xu to go to the Nether Abyss of the North Sea and lose his life in vain.

Lord Xu has a brighter future, with unlimited prospects, and the permit that His Majesty gave to Lord Xu can last for 200 years. It's not too late for Lord Xu to go to the Nether Abyss of the North Sea when his cultivation is higher."

...

Xu Ming fell silent for a moment.

In Xu Ming's heart, he had actually made some mental preparations, knowing that this place was not easy to go to, but after being said so by Lord Turtle, Xu Ming's heart was actually a little panicked.

The main thing is that this place is actually related to ancient times…

"But there is still a way, right?" Xu Ming looked at Lord Turtle.

Although the Exquisite Pearl is very precious, it is not that it has never appeared on the market.

Moreover, Xu Ming heard that one would appear in the market every two or three hundred years.

So, in theory, the North Sea Dragon Palace should have some methods.

Of course, Xu Ming was not sure whether the other party would tell this method to an outsider like himself.

"Heh, heh, heh..." Lord Turtle smiled and stroked his beard, "There is definitely a way. This humble official would definitely not tell ordinary people, but since His Majesty has given Lord Xu permission, then this humble official will naturally tell you everything he knows."

Lord Turtle took out a parchment scroll from his storage bag and handed it to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming respectfully took it and opened it. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Lord Turtle, this is…"

"This is the map of the Nether Abyss."

Lord Turtle said with a smile.

"It records the locations of various restricted areas and the locations of known treasures, including the Exquisite Pearl.

Ordinary people blindly breaking into the Nether Abyss of the North Sea will definitely have a narrow escape from death, but with this map, it will be different. As long as Lord Xu follows the route marked on the map, the possibility of obtaining the Exquisite Pearl will be much greater.

But I still don't recommend Lord Xu to go to this kind of place. Lord Xu's cultivation… is currently not enough."

Xu Ming thought for a while: "If there is no permission from the Dragon Queen, it is impossible to enter the Nether Abyss, right?"

Lord Turtle nodded: "That's natural. The mark in Lord Xu's hand is the ticket to enter the Nether Abyss. When Lord Xu enters the Nether Abyss, that mark will disappear.

Without His Majesty's permission, unless it is a cultivator in the Ascension Realm, no one can enter the Nether Abyss."

Xu Ming smiled: "This means that only I can go in, and there is no way to ask for reinforcements."

Lord Turtle did not answer, only remained silent, and silence confirmed what Xu Ming said.

In fact, Xu Ming also knew that the Dragon Queen gave him permission to enter the Nether Abyss as a "reward" to himself. If he told the Dragon Queen to let someone else go in his place, the Dragon Queen would definitely not agree.

"I also understand the dangers involved. Just as Lord Turtle said, it would be most appropriate to wait more than 100 years, until my cultivation is higher, before going to the Nether Abyss of the North Sea.

But time waits for no one. I am indeed more eager for this Exquisite Pearl.

I have bothered Lord Turtle today."

Xu Ming stood up and bowed.

"Lord Xu is too polite. This humble official also hopes that Lord Xu can consider it more."

Lord Turtle also knew that he might not be able to persuade this young man. He also didn't know why Xu Ming was so anxious to get that Exquisite Pearl, but these were not things he could ask about.

Since the other party was so disregarding of his own life, then naturally the other party had his own reasons.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Turtle," Xu Ming nodded.

"Actually, Young Master Xu can go to the Coral Sea on the east side of Dragon City," Lord Turtle suggested.

"Coral Sea?" Xu Ming was puzzled.

"Yes, in the Coral Sea, there lives a person. If Lord Xu can get the other party's help, the chances of success will be greater."

Lord Turtle nodded.

"It's just that that person's temperament… is a bit strange…"

[Today, I opened a membership and watched Arcane: League of Legends. I felt a bit overwhelmed and also a bit regretful. I felt that I shouldn't have started watching so early.

I should have waited until all the episodes of Arcane: League of Legends were released, and then I would have taken some snacks, drinks, and the like, and comfortably watched them all in one go to my heart's content.]
