While sighing, Qin Di sat on the Sky-reaching Ship and flew toward the Dead Sea. A five-inch long colorful bird stood on his shoulder.
The Five-Colored Divine Sparrow had absorbed enough fire spiritual energy from the fire vein. It was bored of the Northern Plains' branch because there were too few people. Hence, it flew back from the far north and asked Qin Di to play with it.
Qin Di thought about it and decided to take it to the Dead Sea. It was small anyway, and it could hide within the protection of the little peach tree. There was no harm in going there.
The Five-Colored Divine Sparrow chattered and asked questions non-stop.
"Brother, what's in the Dead Sea?"
"There's a Three Lives Island in the depths of the Dead Sea. There's a Three Lives Stone on it."
"What's the use of the Three Lives Stone?"
"It's said that as long as you touch the Three Lives Stone, you can enter reincarnation with your memories."
"Brother, did you touch the Three Lives Stone?"
Qin Di shook his head. "I'm too weak. I can't fly to the deepest part of the Dead Sea."
"Not even this time?"
"Even this time, he might have to stop halfway."
"Brother, I tried to fly into the Dead Sea in the past, but I had to retreat after flying for eight hundred li."
"Yes. The death aura in the depths of the Dead Sea is very dense. If you're not strong enough, it's very difficult to survive."
"Brother, listen to me. We birds have a similar legend. It's said that there's a sacred ground in the center of the Dead Sea. There's a Broken Soul Tree there. The tree bears a Heavenly Saint Fruit. After eating it, birds can turn into humans and become very smart, becoming saints among birds. "
Qin Di was a little surprised. "Is there such a divine tree on Three Lives Island?"
"Back when I went to the Eastern Continent, I heard that the leader of the bird tribe was chosen by the Great God Xihe. Every twenty to thirty thousand years, Xihe would come back with some Heavenly Saint Fruits. Every successor of the tribe would have to eat a Heavenly Saint Fruit, and they would become very smart after eating it. Brother, let's try one too. What do you think? "
Qin Di smiled. "Sure. I'm just afraid that I can't reach Three Lives Island with my skills."
Although he said that, the key to whether or not he could reach Three Lives Island was still the little peach tree. In the past thirty years, the little peach tree had absorbed quite a number of spirit veins. Seventy percent of the two giant spirit veins in the West Mountain had been absorbed by it. In addition to the giant spirit veins that it had drawn from other places, it had about two giant spirit veins in total. Its strength had also been restored to the Seventh Stage Spirit Immortal. It had made great progress compared to the last time it came. When it released its divine senses, it could scan a radius of two to three hundred miles.
Even so, the little peach tree himself didn't know how far he could walk towards the Dead Sea. That was because the nearer he got to the Dead Sea, the harder it would be. Sometimes, even if there were only a dozen or so kilometers left, the amount of power needed for every kilometer would increase by one or two times.
In this regard, Qin Di did not have much hope. It was not important whether it was a day earlier or a day later.
Shi Babao and the others had already extended their lifespans by ten thousand years. Perhaps they would rather go to Three Lives Island later.
The Sky-reaching Ship flew across the sky and headed straight for the depths of the Dead Sea.
The surrounding deathly fog became denser and denser. The Five-colored Divine Sparrow was so nervous that she didn't dare to speak. She could only stand quietly on Qin Di's shoulder and look at the fog in front of them. No one knew what she was thinking.
After flying for about two to four hours, a voice suddenly came from the Sky-reaching Ship. "Master, we've already passed the circle where the eight islands are. Do you still want to fly forward?"
Qin Di said, "Continue flying until you reach your limit."
The Sky-reaching Ship continued forward. The black fog in front of them was like pieces of black cloth. The Sky-reaching Ship turned into a sharp sword that pierced through the cloth and moved forward with all its might. However, its speed had clearly slowed down.
After traveling for another four hours, they didn't know how far they had flown. Then, they heard the little peach tree's stomach say, "I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore! If we go any further, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you! "
When Qin Di heard this, he hurriedly stopped the Sky-reaching Ship and asked, "Ah Zhou, how far have we gone from the island chain formed by the eight large islands?"
The Sky-reaching Ship answered, "It's already thirty-three thousand li."
Qin Di roughly calculated. If the eight large islands formed a circle with Three Lives Island as the center, and the distance between each of the eight large islands was fifty thousand li, the circumference would be four hundred thousand li. From this, he could calculate that the radius of this circle was about sixty-four thousand li. The area of this Dead Sea was about the same size as the Pacific Ocean on Earth. Since the Sky-reaching Ship had crossed the island chain and flown thirty-three thousand li, it meant that they were still more than thirty thousand li away from Three Lives Island.
After calculating, he couldn't help but shake his head. "In the short term, it's still hopeless! Thirty thousand li is too far! The deeper we go, the greater the pressure. I even suspect that even if the little peach tree recovered its strength to the Third Order Heavenly Immortal Realm, it still might not be able to reach Three Lives Island! "
The little peach tree's voice came from its stomach. "Isn't it because of you that I can't reach it? In order to protect your body, I've exhausted too much of my power! When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, I'll teach you the method to absorb soul fragments. At that time, you won't have to worry about not being able to reach Three Lives Island. "
Qin Di chuckled and said, "Then never mind. We'll talk about it in the future. Let's look around the vicinity first and see if we can find more grotto-heaven worlds. When we return to Heavenly Star Island, we'll tear down these newly found grotto-heaven worlds and extract the spirit veins inside. Then, we'll let Ah Tao deal with them. "
Thus, the Sky-reaching Ship started to wander around aimlessly.
Unfortunately, after passing the eight big islands, there weren't many islands in the depths of the Dead Sea.
The Sky-reaching Ship flew for a whole day and only found a small island with a circumference of three to four li. In fact, it was just a reef island that was barely fifty to sixty zhang above the sea level.
However, when Qin Di stepped onto the small island, he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him!
The small island was covered with white bones, piled on top of each other. It was hard to tell how thick the bones were!
There were countless damaged grotto-heavens on the island. Qin Di picked a few and went inside to take a look. He discovered that the large spirit veins inside were all gone. Some only had Spirit-Gathering Pearls left, and some even had disappeared. The spiritual fire was already extinguished, the spiritual trees were all dead, the spiritual gold had also become dim and lightless, and the spiritual earth also didn't have any spiritual qi.
It seemed like these damaged grotto-heavens had already lost their value as a collection.
Qin Di first picked the relatively intact grotto-heavens. In the end, he walked around the small island and found a total of thirty.
He also collected more than two hundred stalks of Grass of Immortality.
After that, he picked a dozen or so grotto-heavens that were less damaged. He prepared to take them back to the sect and let the people of the Artifact Refining Pavilion go in and excavate them. Who knows, they might be able to find quite a few valuable things.
Finally, when he came to the other side of the small island, he suddenly heard the little peach tree's voice. "Under these bones, there is another grotto-heavens. Moreover, it is very well preserved. Only a trace of spiritual qi leaked out."
When Qin Di heard that, he hurriedly pushed the white bones to the side and took out the spirit shovel. After digging for a while, he finally exposed the grotto-heavens below. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the grotto-heavens' appearance was actually in the shape of a spirit pill. It was covered with elixir veins. Counting them, there were actually as many as nine!
What kind of concept was nine elixir veins?
Qin Di didn't know. Because in the inheritance of the King of Elixirs, four elixir veins was already the limit. He had never heard of anything like nine elixir veins!
He patted the outside of the spirit pill shaped grotto-heavens and shouted, "Is there anyone else inside? If there is, junior won't disturb! If there is no one, junior plans to bring the grotto-heavens back! "
After shouting three times, he suddenly heard a very weak voice coming from the grotto-heavens. "Which sect's disciple are you from?"
