Stars twinkled in the night sky. The late autumn night wind blew over from the sea, and the cold air current gave people a bone-piercing chill.
Cheng Hao stood on a huge rock by the shore. Not far from him, Hong Yi sat cross-legged on the beach. The Yin Yang Peach Divine Sword was quietly placed on his legs.
Suddenly, specks of light flickered in the night sky. A golden light flashed and disappeared. Then, Hong Yi's spirit flew out of the Yin Yang Peach Divine Sword and returned to his body.
"How was it? Did you make a breakthrough?"
Seeing that Hong Yi had woken up, Cheng Hao asked with interest.
"How can the Ghost Immortal's Life and Death Barrier be so easy to break through? Even if I absorbed the remaining spirit power in the Peach Divine Sword, and the Spirit Possession Stage is comparable to the power of a Ghost Immortal, I still can't easily break through that Life and Death Barrier."
Hong Yi shook his head. His cultivation aptitude in the Yang Spirit Immortal Way was even better than Cheng Hao's. But even so, it was impossible for him to break through to the Ghost Immortal Realm with just one breakthrough.
"That's right. If it was so easy to reach the Ghost Immortal Realm, then the Eight Great Demon Immortals in the world wouldn't have made such a name for themselves."
Cheng Hao nodded in agreement. Then, he glanced at Hong Yi, who was in high spirits. "Hong Yi, we've been in the Pacification Navy for a long time. If you want to break through to the Ghost Immortal Realm, simply staying here and cultivating in seclusion is no longer enough. I'm going to leave this place in a while. Do you want to come with me?"
"You want to leave the Pacification Navy?"
Hong Yi was somewhat surprised. After all, he had been in the Pacification Navy for a while, and his strength had been rising steadily. Now that he had reached the half-step Ghost Immortal Realm, he was somewhat reluctant to leave suddenly.
But on second thought, Hong Yi changed his mind. How could staying in the Pacification Navy be safer than staying by Cheng Hao's side?
"That's good. I've already killed that old dog, Steward Wu. This news can't be hidden for long. If I stay here, there will be endless trouble. Leaving is also a good choice."
"Very well. Prepare yourself. I'll ask Yan Zhen for a big ship in the next two days. Let's sail along the South China Sea coastline and see if we can find any opportunities... We'll return to Yujing City before the imperial Examination in spring.
.....
Before the two days were up, Hong Yi brought Cheng Hao good luck again before he left Jinghai Sea.
Just two days ago, after Cheng Hao and Hong Yi confirmed that they would leave the Pacification Navy, Hong Yi returned to his residence. At night, he captured a Taoist master who had reached the Great Success Realm of Possession and forced him to tell him a method of cultivating the Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint.
The Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint was located between the eyebrows. It was an acupoint channel that connected the Blood Qi, bone marrow, and spirit of the human body. If this acupoint could be opened, the spirit could be placed in the Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint. The Yang Qi of the Blood Qi could be used to refine the spirit, and the Yin Qi of the spirit could be used to refine the body.
"Cheng Hao, Mr. Zhou, who I captured, is a Taoist master in the Profound Qi Temple. I've already verified this method of cultivating the Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint. I also practiced it last night. There's no problem. Yin and Yang complement each other and evolve life and death. It's very beneficial for breaking the Ghost Immortal barrier."
Cheng Hao sat in his tent and looked at the cultivation technique Hong Yi had passed to him. He didn't doubt the authenticity of this cultivation technique.
His left eye had the ability to see through things and see through illusions. According to the contents of this method, he did find the Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint between the eyebrows. This acupoint was indeed the focal point that connected the Blood Qi of the body and the spirit. Opening this acupoint would bring unimaginable benefits to the cultivation of the spirit and the body.
"Cultivating the acupoint is the first step to the Human Immortal Realm. Hong Yi, you're really lucky. With this method of cultivating the Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint, I can step into the Human Immortal Realm and the Ghost Immortal Realm much faster!"
Cheng Hao's heart was full of excitement. He was not lucky enough, so it was not easy for him to obtain opportunities. But none of this mattered. Hong Yi was the Boy of Fortune, a Fortuitous Opportunity Harvester. He had a feeling that going out to sea with Hong Yi this time would bring him many more fortuitous opportunities. It might even be possible for him to step into the Ghost Immortal Realm.
.....
At night, on the beach, the autumn wind was chilly, and the sea waves were still.
Autumn and winter were dry seasons. There were not as many storms and tsunamis as in summer, so it was the best time to go to sea.
Two large warships with 800 people stayed quietly on the dark sea, like ancient sea beasts that had emerged from the water.
Cheng Hao sat cross-legged on the deck of one of the warships like an old monk. He silently sensed the situation of the Spirit in the Profound Qi Upper Fetus Acupoint, and felt the constant fusion of Yin and Yang between the Spirit and the Blood Qi of the body. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Hao liked the feeling of the fusion of Yin and Yang and gradually touching the threshold of Life and Death. He knew that even if he did not encounter any opportunities on this trip, as long as he spent more time, he would definitely be able to break through the barrier of Life and Death and enter the Ghost Immortal Realm!
Hong Yi was in charge of the sailing route, supplies, and other matters. Cheng Hao only asked for two large warships from Yan Zhen and received the order to suppress the bandits. After that, he became a hands-off boss and left the rest of the matters to Hong Yi.
Hong Yi had no complaints about this. On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of being in charge of the affairs of the fleet. All the complicated matters were handled in an orderly manner. When Cheng Hao finished his cultivation and stood up, the two large warships also opened their sails and slowly set sail toward the boundless sea.
.....
The sea was calm and the autumn air was refreshing.
The autumn sun shone down warmly. The sea at dusk was dotted with golden fragments, and it was magnificent.
The two large warships with 800 people sailed on the sea for a full day and night. After sailing for an entire night, they were already far away from the Da Qian Empire and drifting overseas.
Cheng Hao had a rare moment of leisure. He sat cross-legged on the deck and leisurely fished with a fishing rod in his hand. His lazy appearance made it hard for others to imagine that he was a super expert who could kill a Martial Saint.
At present, Cheng Hao's Spirit was placed in the Upper Fetus Aperture of the Profound Qi. With the fusion of Yin and Yang, both his body and Spirit were greatly benefited. At this stage, there was no need for him to practice hard anymore. He only needed to wait steadily for the blood in his body to completely change qualitatively and for the day when he could break through life and death and enter the Ghost Immortal Realm.
"Cheng Hao, although I did not reveal the route of this trip, Hong Xuanji and the people from the Daluo Sect will not give up. I think it won't be long before our whereabouts will be discovered. This trip to the sea will not only have opportunities, but also dangers!"
