Although the journey was boring, Lin Xue persevered.
For 20 days, she steered the Divine Battleship alone.
The result was just as Ji Tianxing had expected.
On the evening of the 20th day, the Divine Battleship finally arrived at the Thousand Sun Lake in the Thousand Sun County.
This lake, which was located in the middle of the mountains, had a circumference of a hundred thousand miles.
The lake water was deep and cold. Even the lightest feather could not float on the surface.
Anything that fell into the Thousand Sun Lake would sink without a trace.
The evening breeze blew, but the surface of the lake was like a mirror. There were no ripples.
However, it was said that this mysterious Thousand Sun Lake was home to many powerful divine beasts.
The lake was surrounded by towering mountains. Clouds and mist swirled around it, and the roars of beasts could be heard.
The headquarters of the famous Heavenly Union Sect in the Great Yan Empire was in the depths of the Thousand Sun Lake.
Ordinary people did not even have the right to enter the Thousand Sun Lake, let alone see the Heavenly Union Sect's headquarters.
The thick mist on the lake covered everything 100 feet away. It was hazy and could not be seen clearly.
The Divine Battleship stopped at the Thousand Sun Lake. Lin Xue heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "I've finally completed my mission and arrived at the Thousand Sun Lake.
Now, it's up to that lad. "
After saying that, she extended her divine perception to Ji Tianxing's secret chamber. She wanted to wake Ji Tianxing up.
In the end, there was no one in the secret chamber. There was only a divine pagoda floating in the air.
Lin Xue guessed that Ji Tianxing was cultivating in the divine pagoda but could not contact him. She could only wait patiently.
"That lad said that I would need 20 days to reach the Thousand Sun Lake.
He should remember the time and end his seclusion, right? "
As she spoke, Lin Xue looked at the Thousand Sun Lake cautiously. She controlled the Divine Formation to make the Divine Battleship invisible.
Soon, the Divine Battleship merged with the clouds in the sky and disappeared without a trace.
While Lin Xue looked around cautiously, she waited patiently for Ji Tianxing to appear.
...
At the same time, Ji Tianxing had been in seclusion for three years in the distorted space-time of the divine pagoda.
In the past three years, he had been trying to figure out the second level of the Heaven Punishing Divine Skill.
The first level of a cultivation technique was to establish one's foundation, while the second level of a cultivation technique sought for changes and breakthroughs. It contained even more laws and principles and possessed even greater might.
Therefore, the deduction and perfection of the second level of the cultivation technique were extremely complicated and tedious.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing's three years of cultivation were fruitful.
He had successfully deduced the second level of the Heaven Punishment Divine Skill.
Of course, that was only the foundation and framework of the second layer of the cultivation method. The details weren't perfect enough, so it couldn't be considered a true success.
If he wanted to complete and perfect the second layer of the cultivation technique, he would have to spend at least a few more years.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that much time to continue comprehending the Deity Incantation.
He didn't forget about the Thousand Sun Lake and the He Tian Sect, so he ended his cultivation.
This time, he had been cultivating the Heaven Punishing Divine Skill and deducing the second stage of the skill. He had not deliberately increased his strength.
Even so, his strength and foundation continued to rise, becoming more and more robust.
Even though he was still at the Eighth Level Divine Lord Realm, he was not far from the Ninth Level Divine Lord Realm.
His true combat strength had also increased by more than two times compared to before.
Swoosh!
After finishing his cultivation, Ji Tianxing opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Calculating the time, I have been in seclusion for three years, and 20 days have passed in the outside world.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Xue should have arrived at the Thousand Sun Lake. "
With that, he got up and left the distorted space-time, returning to the secret chamber.
After putting away the Nine Heavens Ten Absolutes Pagoda, he rushed to the cockpit of the Deity Vessel.
As expected, the Deity Vessel stopped at the shore of a large lake. Lin Xue sat alone in the cockpit, observing the situation around her.
Seeing that Ji Tianxing had arrived, Lin Xue obviously heaved a sigh of relief. She snorted unhappily and said, "I didn't disappoint you. I arrived at the Thousand Sun Lake on time.
On the other hand, you were a bit slow. Why did you only come out now? "
Ji Tianxing knew that she was just complaining and didn't have any ill intentions, so he ignored her.
He used his Divine Perception to scan the surroundings. Seeing that it was quiet within 30,000 miles, and there were no traces of the Deity Race, he asked, "How long have you been here? Did you see anyone? "
Lin Xue answered honestly, "I've been here for two hours. I've been observing the situation, but I didn't see anyone."
Ji Tianxing nodded and frowned. "Logically speaking, the entire Thousand Sun Lake is the He Tian Sect's territory, so there should be guards patrolling the area.
But why is there no one within a 30,000 mile radius? There must be something fishy about this. "
Lin Xue blinked and asked doubtfully, "What you mean is that Prince Lian returned to the He Tian Sect before us, and he has already asked the He Tian Sect to set up an ambush?
It's so quiet around here. Is he trying to lure us in? "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "It's possible! But there's another possibility … the He Tian Sect's defense is weak, so they had no choice but to shrink their defense circle and withdraw everyone back into the mountain. "
Lin Xue was instantly stunned. She frowned in disbelief. "How is this possible? The He Tian Sect is one of the top three sects in the Great Yan Empire. They have at least a hundred Sir Gods and ten to twenty thousand disciples and guards. How can their defense be weak?
Especially the Grand Elder, Sect Master, and Deputy Sect Master of the He Tian Sect. It's said that they are all Sir Gods at the peak of the ninth stage! "
Lin Xue did not know about the Green Jade Palace, so she thought that the He Tian Sect's people were in the mountain.
Ji Tianxing only smiled and did not explain further.
"It's useless for us to observe here. Let's save some time and go directly to the He Tian Sect's mountain."
Lin Xue hurriedly nodded in agreement. "Okay, no matter whether the He Tian Sect's mountain is weak or not, we will know once we try.
You will control the divine warship, and I will wake up Xue Huan and Left Emissary Jin. "
Xue Lin rubbed her palms together in an excited manner. Imagining the upcoming battle, she felt her blood boiling.
Ji Tianxing had a premonition and could vaguely guess the result.
He raised his hand and called out to Lin Xue who was about to leave. "Don't be anxious. Let me check the situation first. Don't let them fight for now."
Although Lin Xue did not know what he meant, she still nodded in agreement.
"Swoosh!"
The divine warship passed through the clouds and flew toward the center of the Thousand Sun Lake at lightning speed.
After about 15 minutes, the divine warship had flown more than forty thousand miles.
The center of the Thousand Sun Lake was in front of them.
On the surface of the water that was surrounded by clouds and mist, an island with a radius of more than two hundred miles could be vaguely seen.
The island was oval-shaped, and the terrain was high in the north and low in the south.
The south was close to the water, and the north was grassland and forest.
The north of the island was a majestic mountain range.
Ji Tianxing could see clearly that there were many herb fields and gardens in the southern peninsula. There were also many divine beasts.
In the mountain range of the northern peninsula, there were houses and palaces built on each mountain peak. They looked solemn and imposing.
Without a doubt, that was the He Tian Sect's mountain.
