Chapter 231 God grants longevity, and the three kings appear!
"Moo~" The dragon whale struggled violently.

Four ships, including three thousand Liu Tianning, were towed away by the dragon whale.

The dying struggle of this behemoth was so terrifying that a huge black cloud vortex appeared in the sky, which even affected Liu Tianning's solar term order and cloud method.

"put!"

Liu Tianning shouted.

"Let go of the chain!"

Pei Yuanchang immediately commanded the mechanical division on the ship.

"Click, click, click, click~" The mechanism turned, the noose wheel spun rapidly, and the chains sank into the sea one by one.

The dragon whale instinctively dived, trying to shake off the enemy.

But the tough vine in Liu Tianning's hand and the god-locking chain on the ship were long enough.

The dragon whale dived five hundred meters and was still tied up tightly.

"receive!"

Following Liu Tianning's instructions, the tough vines and the God-Locking Chain on the ship began to be recovered and wrestled with the dragon whale.

The severe pain forced the dragon whale to dive from 500 meters underwater and resurface.

"Snapped!"

The fish tail, which was more than 300 meters long, slapped the sea surface, and the waves surged, hitting Liu Tianning and the surrounding ships.

"Bengbengbeng~"

The sixth-level tough vines actually had their skin cracked layer by layer.

"This guy is so strong." Xia Jing looked at the huge monster below.

"It has strong vitality." Chen Shijie's eyes sparkled. "Even after so many attacks, its vitality hasn't dropped much."

"Someone is coming."

Zhao Xing frowned and looked towards the east.

At this time, the two brothers Ji Ye and Ji Chen, who had already retreated, drove their warships closer.

Obviously something abnormal was discovered.

With such a big commotion, there's no way they didn't know about it.

"Dragon whale? Such a big dragon whale?!" Ji Ye was extremely surprised. After seeing the size of the dragon whale, his heart was pounding.

"Great opportunity! This dragon whale is definitely the greatest opportunity in the Polar Night Sea!"

"Send the order!"

"Put the five warships into combat mode and release all the mechanical puppets! Wait for orders!"

"Publish the coordinates of the dragon whale and notify all major exploration teams!"

"Sir, no." The counselor next to him changed his expression. He knew what Ji Ye was thinking. "Liu Tianning may not be able to kill Long Jing, but he definitely has the ability to kill us."

"Am I that stupid?" Ji Ye sneered, "Let Liu Tianning fight that big guy first, and spread the news. Then I will have the opportunity to reap the benefits!"

"With so many exploration teams coming, can Liu Tianning kill them all?"

"The benefits of Dragon Whale are huge enough. I don't believe no one would be tempted!"

"Sir, if it were two months ago, your plan would have been possible, but now it is simply impossible to achieve. Even if those exploration teams agree on the surface, I'm afraid they won't put in any effort." Strategist Zhang Wensong advised.

"No need to persuade me, just do it!"

The strategist looked at Ji Ye with some disappointment in his eyes.

After walking out of the room, Zhang Wensong looked up at the sky and shook his head.

"When Qin Chongwen and Huangfu Song were killed, he didn't dare to fight, but now for the dragon whale, he dares to fight."

"Two months ago, when the six exploration groups did not worship Liu Tianning, he did not join forces to fight. Now, two months later, everyone has almost reaped the benefits, but he is thinking of joining forces..."

A trace of contempt appeared in Zhang Wensong's eyes: "This boy is not worth consulting with. If you follow him, you will meet with disaster sooner or later."

Thinking of this, Zhang Wensong went to his room, packed up all the rewards Ji Ye had given him before, and even took off his gorgeous clothes and placed them on the table.

Then he flew directly to Ji Chen's ship.

The Thirteenth Prince Ji Chen also discovered the movements of the dragon whale. He was quite tempted and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

But the counselor advised: "If you take action, you may not be able to snatch the dragon whale, but you will offend Liu Tianning, the future leader of the Self Faction."

"Then sir, what do you think I should do?" Ji Chen asked.

"Help Liu Tianning." The counselor said, "The dragon whale makes a huge noise, which will definitely attract people from all sides. You should help Liu Tianning to resist those troubles now."

"Whether Liu Tian is willing or not, as long as the young master takes this action, he has to accept this favor."

Ji Chen clapped his hands and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense. I will beat anyone who comes to beat Liu Tianning."

…………

After being locked up, the dragon whale struggled for three days and three nights.

Liu Tianning and Pei Yuanchang's four ships also followed for three days and three nights.

Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from the rest of the exploration team.

Around the Dragon Whale, there were first the forces of Liu Tianning and Pei Yuanchang.

Further out are the two top exploration teams of Ji Ye and Ji Chen.

After that came the joint exploration team of Xing Ming, the grandson of King Tianjue, and the exploration team of Ji Dan, the youngest son of King Liang.

During this period, the five-grade warriors on the Wanfa Tower Ship and the Hailan Warship were all ready for battle.

Prevent anyone from interfering with Liu Tianning and stabbing him in the back.

There really was someone stabbing them in the back. On the second night, Ji Ye's warships headed towards the swimming area of ​​the dragon whale to intercept it.

However, before the people on the Wanfalou ship and the Hailan warship could move, someone stood up to block the knife for Liu Tianning.

It was Ji Ye’s brother, the Thirteenth Prince Ji Chen.

The younger brother drew his knife and the older brother blocked it.

As a result, other forces that wanted to take advantage of the situation could only watch from the outside.

Because the two brothers were fighting, they blocked the way.

And at the hour of Chen on the fourth day.

The dragon whale's struggle finally weakened.

Seven quarters after noon.

The dragon whale completely lost its ability to resist, and Liu Tianning took advantage of the situation to shatter the dragon whale's soul.

At this point, although the dragon whale's body was not dead, its soul had already been destroyed.

"Swish swish swish~"

The tough vines were retracted from the dragon whale and returned to Liu Tianning's body.

At this point, the rest of the forces could only watch and sigh, giving up the idea of ​​fishing in troubled waters.

"Zhao Xing, come here."

Liu Tianning stood on the back of the dragon whale and waved to Zhao Xing.

"Yes."

Zhao Xing immediately flew towards the dragon whale.

As for the others, they were still watching on the boat.

Since Liu Tianning didn't call them, they could only wait.

"Teacher, is it dead?"

"Yes, but the essence of life is still there." Liu Tianning smiled. "I never thought that after eating so many treasures, I would still be able to encounter this dragon whale that has taken away the fortune of heaven and earth."

Liu Tianning pointed.

"Pfft~"

A ball of golden light suddenly appeared on the back of the dragon whale.

“Plop~Plop~”

The golden light flickered and expanded.

Heart of the Dragon Whale!

Zhao Xing resisted the urge to pounce and just looked at the heart.

The dragon whale's heart is so big that even the largest cabin of the Blood Shadow Flying Boat cannot accommodate it.

This part is also the one that contains the most spiritual energy.

"The heart, fins, and meat of the dragon whale are all very nutritious." Liu Tianning said, "However, the only thing that can be useful to you and me is the essence and blood in the heart of the dragon whale."

Liu Tianning stretched out his finger and pointed, and a hole appeared in the heart, and then golden blood flowed out.

"Gulong~" A fist-sized ball of golden blood floated in front of Zhao Xing. "Eat it, eat as much as you can."

"Thank you, teacher." Zhao Xing was no longer polite. He opened his mouth and sucked the golden blood into his mouth.

“Plop~” “Plop~”

As the golden blood entered his body, Zhao Xing felt his heart suddenly beat rapidly.

His whole body swelled up and a golden shadow appeared around him. This shadow looked exactly like Zhao Xing, but its size was ten times larger, like a giant.

Wisps of air flow around the body. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the flowing air is in the shape of a dragon whale.

Different from the 'fat' like Long Xiao and Xia Jing.

Zhao Xing's "fatness" at this time is the expansion of vitality.

The life essence of human beings has an upper limit, which is the restriction imposed by heaven and earth on various races.

Although both are of the sixth grade, the lifespan of humans is far less than that of spirit turtles, which is a shackle and restriction on the essence of life.

Now, this shackle has been broken by the huge lifespan and spiritual power, and the upper limit of Zhao Xing's lifespan has become even higher!

"Vision of life." Liu Tianning watched this scene and he also swallowed a ball of golden blood.

However, the golden shadow around Liu Tianning was fainter.

This was because he absorbed the energy faster. In just a moment, the golden shadow disappeared into his body.

Liu Tianning began to take the second ball of golden blood, while Zhao Xing was still digesting it.

When Liu Tianning ate the fourth ball, the golden shadow on Zhao Xing's body gradually faded.

He started taking the second bolus of blood.

The master and disciple stood on the whale's back and absorbed the energy.

Liu Tianning continued to absorb the tenth ball of golden blood before stopping.

Then Liu Tianning looked at the sky thoughtfully.

……

Zhao Xing absorbed more slowly, but he also absorbed ten balls of golden blood.

The golden shadow on his body disappeared, and Zhao Xing stood up with a look of shock on his face.

"Did the spiritual effect of this dragon whale really increase its lifespan by 200 years?"

He looked at a record on the panel.

[You have taken the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, and your extra life span is increased by 200 years]

[You have consumed the spiritual power of heaven and earth and know your own destiny.] The panel also changed at the same time.

[Remaining lifespan: 478 years]

Zhao Xing looked at the panel and started thinking as well.

"At the sixth level, one can only live for 178 years normally. My extra life span was increased to 122 years before, but it has not changed at all. According to speculation, under normal circumstances, if I don't practice, get promoted, or take any life-extending treasures, I will only live to years old."

"The natural lifespan of 122 years, plus the 178 years gained from the increase in lifespan due to the luck of the country, the longevity of life and the spiritual beauty of life, is exactly 300 years, which is just the theoretical limit of the lifespan of the sixth rank."

"Now, I am 478 years old, but I can still live another years."

"It is equivalent to my maximum lifespan, which is comparable to the fourth rank."

"Does this mean that if I reach the first rank, I can break the theoretical limit of 800 years of lifespan for first rank officials?" Zhao Xing pondered.

Logically speaking, this limit could only be broken during the reign of Emperor Wu.

But there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and the upgrading of caves and heavens is something that is rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years.

Maybe, I have really broken the 800-year limit.

"Old Liu also ate it ten times." Zhao Xing thought to himself, "If my guess is correct, he should have done the same."

It is actually very simple to verify the guess.

If my life span can be extended when I am promoted to the fifth rank and accept the baptism of the country's destiny, it means that my theoretical life span limit has been broken after taking the Dragon Whale Spirit.

If the life span did not increase after reaching the fifth and fourth grades, it means that the limits of heaven and earth in the big world have not been broken, but the life span of the fourth grade has been obtained in advance in the Ten Yang Cave Heaven.

A sixth rank official has the same longevity as a fourth rank official, which is considered an advantage. Even if one does not get promoted, one can still live for five hundred years.

It should be noted that Tan Tai Ming, a fourth-grade cultivator, can theoretically only live for 500 years, and normally he would not live up to his theoretical lifespan.

"It must have broken the limit, so there's a sentence 'God-given longevity' on the panel!"

"The natural life span has been broken, and the next bottleneck for officials' life span will be a thousand years."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xing raised his head.

The heart was still emitting golden light. He and Liu Tianning had only eaten half of it.

"The bone marrow of the giant whale can still be helpful to you." Liu Tianning turned around. "You still have two hours to eat."

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Zhao Xing was puzzled.

Liu Tianning pointed at the Dragon Whale Heart and said, "I told you before that I have already eaten all the longevity-enhancing treasures that I can eat when I am at the fifth level."

"Now that I can continue to absorb the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth contained in the heart of this dragon whale, it means that the limit of my life span has been broken."

"This matter is of great importance. I have reported it to King Luohou." Liu Tianning said, "A king will come to deal with this dragon whale soon."

"So, you have to hurry up."

After hearing what Liu Tianning said, Zhao Xing immediately began to absorb the marrow of the dragon whale.

Liu Tianning's three thousand Dharma bodies had already divided the dragon whale into many parts.

He now just needs to eat what's ready.

"Dragon Whale Marrow."

Zhao Xing held a huge dragon bone in his hand and cracked it to suck out its marrow.

The hot, scorching feeling instantly spread throughout his body, and Zhao Xing felt like he was thrown into a furnace.

His skin, flesh, acupuncture points, meridians, and bones were all covered with a layer of gold.

"Ah——" Zhao Xing fell to his knees, his face showing pain.

The marrow of the dragon whale contains the spiritual essence of the soul, and its effect is to strengthen the body!

This dragon whale is full of treasures.

"hu~hu~"

An hour later.

Zhao Xing was panting and sweating profusely.

Now, his bones were emitting golden light.

[You have taken the dragon whale bone marrow, and your physique has transformed from 'Golden Bone Birth' to 'Golden Bone Mastery'! ]

"Huh?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

The marrow of the dragon whale actually pulled his body to the level of 'Golden Bone Perfection'.

He grabbed a bone at random. The bones of the dragon whale were originally very hard and needed a magic weapon to break them.

But now, he exerted a little force——

"Snapped!"

The hard dragon whale bones were actually crushed.

Looking at his palm, Zhao Xing fell into deep thought.

My physical strength has increased by many times.

And a sense of relief came from the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

"My soul is in my womb. My body has become stronger. My soul no longer feels cramped and has become more comfortable."

The body becomes stronger, which is a good thing.

Even if someone gets close to him, he won't die from a single hit, and his vitality will become stronger.

It will be easier to enter the Yuanpo realm in the future.

"If I come across any magic restricted area or extreme environment, I have this golden bone and I know a little bit about boxing and kicking, so my ability to survive will be greatly improved."

There was nothing delicious left, and the rest of the meat was of no use to Zhao Xing.

Unless you can break through the existing realm.

Two hours later, he finished sucking the dragon whale's bone marrow.

…………

Two hours later, a golden dragon warship appeared in the Midnight Sea.

There was a flag on the warship with a bow and arrows emitting a faint golden light.

"King Rahu's warship?"

"Why is he here?"

All the forces in the Polar Night Sea could not help but be surprised.

This is the first time that the Three Kings have appeared in public since the spiritual beauty of the Ten Yang Cave Heaven erupted.

The Golden Dragon warship flew next to the Wanfa Tower ship.

"Shu~"

Then three phantoms fell on the back of the dragon whale.

They are none other than King Tianyan, King Luohou, and King Lingde.

"I am Zhao Xing, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to King Luohou, King Tianyan, and King Lingde."

"No need for formalities." King Rāhu nodded indifferently.

Then the three kings glanced at the dragon whale, especially the golden dragon whale heart.

"How?" King Luohou looked at King Tianyan.

"It is indeed magical." King Tianyan nodded, "It seems that it has swallowed too much spiritual beauty and has undergone a qualitative leap."

"Liu Tianning, take your disciples on board." King Luohou ordered.

"Yes." Liu Tianning then took Zhao Xing away from Longjing and returned to the Wanfa Tower ship.

Immediately afterwards, King Luohou, King Tianyan, and King Lingde blocked the surrounding space.

Flags appeared and landed above the dragon whale.

It was like a sky curtain, and no one could see what was going on inside.

…………

Four hours later, the sky barrier dissipated.

The dragon whale's heart has disappeared and no one knows where it has gone.

The three kings did not explain anything, boarded the Golden Dragon warship and left the Midnight Sea.

Zhao Xing watched the warship leave, thoughtful.

The spiritual objects in the Midnight Sea are useless outside the area, but it also depends on who makes the move.

It was obvious that the three kings took the heart away using special means.

"I've never heard of a dragon whale in my previous life. It seems that the Three Kings have really taken action and have blocked the news." Zhao Xing guessed.

However, King Rāhu and his men only took away the heart.

The rest of the parts were ignored.

Liu Tianning and Pei Yuanchang spent another three days cutting the precious parts of the dragon whale.

The other members on the Wanfa Tower ship also received dragon whale meat.

Although the quality is not as high as that of the dragon whale's heart, it is still very attractive to the fifth grade.

Especially the dragon whale bone marrow, which can strengthen the physical body, which is of great help for the subsequent upgrade to the fourth level.

Chen Shijie, Xia Jing, Long Xiao, Ji Ziyun, Murong Xue, Ji Zixuan, Liu Chengan, Wu Ting... Everyone in the Liu Tianning exploration team has a share.

After a few days, many people became "fat" due to excessive accumulation of vital energy.

Even the bobcat ate so much that its belly became round and its body swelled.

"It's time to go back."

Zhao Xing stood on the Wanfa Tower ship, looking at the people sharing the fish and eating it below, and glanced at the almanac.

Today is already July 2nd!
"Now I have no other request from Shiyang Cave Heaven. Even if there is still some soup, it doesn't matter." Zhao Xing said secretly.

"It's a good opportunity to stay in Yangcheng and not go out, under the pretext of digesting my vital energy and honing my magic."

The Ten Days in the Sky was at the end of August, but Zhao Xing decided to stop at the beginning of July.

Because the gains have exceeded original expectations, now is the time to get out.

No one knows whether this time it will be advanced or what additional changes may occur.

On July 3, Zhao Xing followed Liu Tianning's Wanfalou ship back to Yangcheng.

At this time, there were less than two months left until the Ten Suns flew into the sky.

After returning to the Eighteen Sophora japonica and Willow Courtyard, Zhao Xing fell into a dream and sorted out his exploration experiences of more than three months to make sure there were no omissions.

Walking into the memory palace in his dream, Zhao Xing's face changed when he watched the segment about 'Tianmen Deduction'.

At this moment, he took the initiative to recall and remembered this sealed memory.

"The Ten Suns in the Sky is actually related to the Xuantian Sect? Maybe it's even related to King Liang?" Zhao Xing pondered.

The original reason he sealed up this memory was because he was too weak.

But now, knowing Liu Tianning's strength and discovering that Old Liu's backer is King Rāhu, he had some other ideas.

"Xuantian Sect, ten suns in the sky..." Zhao Xing pondered.

　This volume will be finished tomorrow, and I won't write more about the Qinggang Mining Area, so I'm a bit stuck in the writer's block. I'll just write 5,000 words today. Please forgive me.
