Above the vast sea, an incomparably huge longsword was flying. This was a very gorgeous longsword. The blade was about a hundred meters long. The black blade had golden patterns on it. The patterns looked like a bunch of vines with small flowers growing on them. It looked very elegant and beautiful.
Behind the hilt of the sword, there were eight iron chains floating in the air. These iron lotuses looked very beautiful, but the barbs on them clearly indicated that these iron chains were lethal weapons.
This sword was naturally the Golden Jade Light Sword. And Zhao Hai was sitting inside the sword. He was currently reading a book. This book looked very old, the pages were already yellow. However, it was very well preserved. One could even smell a faint medicinal fragrance coming from the book.
This medicinal fragrance was mainly used to prevent the book from becoming moist. It was precisely because of this medicinal fragrance that the book could be preserved for so long without being damaged.
This book was taken out by Zhao Hai from the Hu Clan's library. This book recorded the matters of the Wen Ji Continent. An ancestor of the Hu Clan had also been to the Wen Ji Continent before returning. This book was a travel book that he wrote after returning to the Hu Clan. It mainly introduced the situation of the Wen Ji Continent.
In the Wen Ji Continent, there were also Professions, Soul Soldiers, Soul Beasts, Craftsmen, and Plant Masters. But in addition to these four professions, there was also another profession in the Wen Ji Continent, Scholar.
For example, if your soul was a pen, then you can be regarded as a scholar. If your soul was a zither, then you can also be regarded as a scholar. If your soul was a chess piece, then you can also be regarded as a scholar. If your soul was a zither, then you can also be regarded as a scholar. If your soul was a chess piece, then you can also be regarded as a scholar. The zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as long as it was related to literature, then you can become a scholar. Scholars cultivated a type of energy called literary force. This was a very strange energy. The better one practiced, the stronger one's literary force would be. Moreover, this type of energy was very broad. Once cultivated, one's offensive power would be very strong. Even a single word could be integrated into literary force to attack the enemy.
A scholar's weapon was also very strange. Their weapons were the most common of items. For example, a pen spirit would have a pen as their weapon. This pen wasn't a high-grade item, and the materials used to make it weren't necessarily good either. However, the pen must be chosen by the scholar, and it must be connected to the scholar's mind.
As for how a person could connect with a pen, that would depend on the scholar himself. He would choose one out of thousands of pens. As for why he would choose that one, no one could say for sure. They only knew that once he had literary power, he would naturally be guided by it and would naturally choose that pen.
After a scholar chooses a pen, he wouldn't change his weapon for the rest of his life. Their cultivation methods were also very strange. For example, when a weapon spirit wasn't fighting, their weapons would be nourished in their spiritual space. This way, they would be more powerful. However, scholars were different.
But a scholar was different. After a scholar chooses his weapon, he must use it. If you are a pen spirit, then you must use it. If you keep using it, then the pen will become stronger and stronger. If you choose a book, then you must read it. Only by reading it will your book become stronger and stronger. If you cultivate to a high level, then every word in the book can represent an attack.
In the Wen Ji Continent, the status of a scholar was the highest. In the Wen Ji Continent, there were no countries, only academies. There were eight academies in total. These eight academies were the eight great powers of the Wen Ji Continent. In the Wen Ji Continent, the academies were the most respected. The academies were the empires of the Wen Ji Continent.
In the Wen Ji Continent, the status of a weapon spirit and a beast spirit wasn't high. On the contrary, it was very low. Scholars would deliberately suppress these two types of soul. On the other hand, the status of a craftsman was higher than that of a weapon spirit and a beast spirit. The status of a botanist was similar to that of a craftsman, but it was also higher than that of a weapon spirit and a beast spirit.
In the Wenji Continent, ordinary soul bearers lived a very good life. Moreover, ordinary soul bearers could also read books. In every village, there would be a scholar. Not only would the scholar rule the village, he would also educate the people in the village.
Zhao Hai found this very strange. He couldn't understand why the scholars in the Literary Records Continent could cultivate while the scholars in the Spirit Soldier Continent couldn't. Although the status of scholars in the Spirit Soldier Continent was higher than ordinary soul bearers, they still couldn't cultivate. On the other hand, the scholars in the Literary Records Continent were able to cultivate. Moreover, they were very tyrannical. This was too strange.
The Hu Clan's ancestor was also very curious about this problem. He even entered the Wen Ji Continent's academy to study. However, he still couldn't find an answer. The Hu Clan's ancestor also experimented. He brought the cultivation methods of the scholars in the Wen Ji Continent back to the Weapon Spirit Continent and had the Hu Clan's scholars practice it. However, the result was that the scholars in the Weapon Spirit Continent had no way to cultivate. A hundred scholars practiced according to the methods of the Wen Ji Continent, but in the end, not a single one of them managed to cultivate.
This strange situation wasn't only known by the Hu Clan, other people also knew about it. In the Weapon Spirit Continent, it wasn't only the Hu Clan that went to the Wen Ji Continent. People from other forces also went to the Wen Ji Continent. After returning to the Weapon Spirit Continent, they also conducted similar experiments. However, the results were the same as the Hu Clan's.
In addition to these, the Hu Clan's ancestor also recorded the customs and customs of the Wen Ji Continent. It can be seen that the Hu Clan's ancestor had been in the Wen Ji Continent for a long time. This was because he had almost explored the entire continent.
This book didn't only have information about the Wen Ji Continent, it also had information about the route to the continent. At the same time, it also had some things to pay attention to after arriving at the continent.
When an outsider arrives at the Wen Ji Continent, the first thing you need to do is to go to any city in the continent and find an academy there. Then you need to register and obtain an identity card.
Without an identity card, it would be very difficult to move around the continent. Therefore, the first thing you need to do after arriving at the Wen Ji Continent was to get an identity card.
After slowly closing the book, Zhao Hai let out a long breath. He had already read this book more than once. He had already memorized the contents of the book, but he still read it again. This was because he still felt that the Wen Ji Continent was very mysterious.
However, what Zhao Hai paid attention to was the things that he would encounter on the way to the Wen Ji Continent. If he were to fly to the Wen Ji Continent, it would take about a year. Naturally, this was based on the Hu Clan's ancestor's speed. His flying speed was much slower compared to the Golden Jade Light Sword.
In this year's time, there were more than 300 places where one could resupply. Most of these places were uninhabited islands where one could rest and replenish their water and food.
Nobody can reach the Wen Ji Continent by boat, this was because it was impossible. It would take a year to fly, and it would take at least a few years to reach the Wen Ji Continent by boat. During this process, one would be attacked by countless demonic beasts in the sea. In the end, one would die under these attacks. Even if one had a Sky Dance Expert on board, it would still be impossible for the ship to reach the Wen Ji Continent. This was because even a Sky Dance Expert wouldn't be able to deal with these demonic beasts. When the time comes, the Sky Dance Expert could only escape by flying in the air while the ship would become food for the demonic beasts in the sea.
Because of this, the only way to reach the Wen Ji Continent was to fly in the sky. However, one shouldn't think that flying in the sky would guarantee one's safety. There were countless demonic beasts in the sea, and some of these beasts were very powerful. They could also fly out of the sea and attack you. There were also some demonic beasts that transformed into demonic beasts. These demonic beasts were also very powerful. If a Sky Dance Expert were to encounter these demonic beasts in the vast sea, it would be very dangerous.
However, flying in the sky was much safer compared to sailing on the sea. The demonic beasts in the sea wouldn't attack every Profession that flew in the sky. These demonic beasts believed that their territory was the sea, including the sea's surface. However, the sky wasn't under their control. Because of this, most of the demonic beasts in the sea wouldn't attack Professions that flew in the sky. Only a few warlike demonic beasts in the sea would attack.
However, when going from the Soldier Spirit Continent to the Wen Ji Continent, the demonic beasts in the sea were only one of the dangers. The most dangerous ones were the storms in the sea and a strange energy in the sea. This energy was called the Forbidden Energy by the Hu Family's Ancestor.
The Forbidden Energy was a forbidden energy. No matter what profession you were, as long as you encountered the Forbidden Energy, then your body's energy would be instantly sealed. If you were flying in the sky, then you would immediately fall into the sea. Once your energy was sealed, then you would become an ordinary person. The only result of falling into the sea was death.
Nobody knew what this Forbidden Energy was, nobody knew how it was produced, and nobody knew where it was produced. The only thing that was known was that if you were hit by the Forbidden Energy, then you wouldn't be able to use your energy for a month. After a month, you would be able to freely use your energy without any problems.
The reason why the ancestor of the Hu Clan knew about this was because he was hit by the Earthly Taboo. However, he was lucky. When he was hit by the Earthly Taboo, he happened to be on a small island to resupply. It was also because of this that he escaped the disaster and safely arrived at the Wen Ji Continent.
Nobody knew where the Forbidden Force would appear, nor when it would appear. However, many people who wanted to go to the Wen Ji Continent ended up dying under the Forbidden Force. Although the Forbidden Force couldn't directly kill people, it was still the best weapon for killing people.
The Forbidden Energy disappeared without a trace. Nobody knew when it would appear, and nobody knew how it would appear. Only when you were hit by the Forbidden Energy would you know that it had appeared. For an assassin who came and went without a trace, it was impossible to guard against it.
Zhao Hai was very curious about this Forbidden Energy. He really wanted to know what it was. It actually made people unable to use any energy for a month. This Forbidden Energy was definitely worth studying.
Zhao Hai has been away from Devil Island for five days. In these five days, besides the first day when he used the Golden Jade Light Sword to sail in the sea, he was flying in the sky. However, he didn't encounter any Forbidden Energy, nor did he encounter any attacks from demonic sea creatures. His journey was very smooth.
Along the way, Zhao Hai also saw several supply points recorded by the Hu Clan's ancestors. These so-called supply points were uninhabited islands. These islands had fresh water as well as some food. Because of this, the Hu Clan's ancestors decided to use them as supply points. However, Zhao Hai didn't go to these uninhabited islands because there was no need to.
After returning to Devil Island from the prairie, Zhao Hai took some time to deal with everything. After that, he accompanied his family for a while before leaving Devil Island and heading towards the Wen Ji Continent. This was his plan, so naturally, he wouldn't change it. He wanted to go to the Wen Ji Continent to take a look and collect some plants and animals on the way.
This time, Hu Yuan wanted the Hu Clan to follow Zhao Hai so that they could take care of him. However, Zhao Hai didn't agree. He had too many secrets that he couldn't let others know. If the Hu Clan followed him, then not only would it be inconvenient for him to move, he would also have to take care of them when he arrived at the Wen Ji Continent. Zhao Hai wasn't in the mood for that right now, so he didn't agree.
Hu Yuan was afraid that Zhao Hai would be lonely if he went to the Wen Ji Continent alone. Therefore, he wanted someone to accompany him. Seeing that Zhao Hai didn't agree, Hu Yuan didn't say anything and just let Zhao Hai go alone.
Zhao Hai had long been accustomed to living alone, not to mention that he was inside the Golden Jade Light Sword. When he had nothing to do, he could read some books, eat some food, cultivate, and even drink some wine.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't plan to return to the Soldier Spirit Continent too early. After traveling to the Wen Ji Continent, he would go to the Expert Continent to take a look. After that, he would look for Secret Realms. After that, he would return to the Soldier Spirit Continent.
When he thought about the Expert Continent, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. Perhaps for the people of the Soul Realm, the people of the Expert Continent were different. This was because they didn't have a soul. But for the people of the Soul Realm, how could a person not have a soul? It was as inconceivable as a person not having a soul. Therefore, they called it the Expert Continent.
However, in Zhao Hai's eyes, the people of the Stranger Continent were normal people. On the contrary, the people of the Soul Realm were different. He had never heard of people from the Stranger Continent having a soul on their head. Moreover, according to this soul, their status, rank, and even cultivation were different. They were the strange people.
However, Zhao Hai couldn't say this out loud. After all, he also had a soul on his head. If one were to say that he was different, then he was also one of them. Zhao Hai just wanted to go to the Expert Continent to take a look. He wanted to see the difference between the so-called Experts and the people of the Soul Realm.
Flying on the sea was very boring. Although the Golden Jade Light Sword was very fast, it still wouldn't take one or two days to reach the Wen Ji Continent. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. Sometimes, he would go to the islands to take a look. Sometimes, he would go to the sea to take a look.
