A boat was waiting by the shore. Xia Luokui boarded the boat with 21 people.
"The Fire God Island is at sea and we can't build a transmission portal. We have to use a boat," said Xia Luokui.
There were two Spiritual Grandmasters in white on the boat. The boat was powered by spiritual stones and had to be operated by spiritual cultivators.
The 21 people were quiet because they rarely interacted with each other. Moreover, they were all going to the Southern Fire God's Zhurong Temple for the opportunity. In a sense, they were all competitors.
Xia Luokui seemed to have expected this. He didn't say much and only paid attention to the situation on the sea.
Under the calm surface of the sea, Xia Luokui had to be on high alert at all times because of the hidden danger.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. They arrived at the Fire God Island's waters within a day!
"What an oppressive wave …" Su Yun walked to the deck and looked up. There was only a line between the sea and the sky. However, he knew that they weren't far from the Fire God Island.
"The Fire God Island has been explored by countless people, but we can't predict what a Virtual God is capable of. So, perhaps the opportunity is right in front of us." Xia Luokui looked into the distance. No one knew who he was talking to.
Although Su Yun felt oppressed, he also caught a hint of weakness in it. They were able to enter because the restriction on the Fire God Island was weakened. Perhaps Zhurong the Fire God had done it on purpose.
Everyone boarded the deck and looked at the sea in the distance with serious eyes.
In this oppressive atmosphere, there was an inexplicable excitement that slowly spread.
Perhaps, this would be a major turning point in their path of cultivation!
Another four hours passed. For the 21 people who were about to enter the Fire God Island, it felt like three years had passed.
Finally, a small black dot appeared on the horizon!
"Are we here …"
The oppressive feeling was already making them breathless, but it didn't dampen their enthusiasm at all.
Half an hour later, the boat was floating quietly on the sea.
"This is as far as I can go," said Xia Luokui. "The restriction ahead is too strong for me. I can't get any closer."
Everyone was confused. They were still 500 meters away from the Fire God Island. Did they have to swim there by themselves?
"Take this. I'll help you next." Xia Luokui pointed to a corner where there was a pile of planks of different lengths.
Su Yun had a strange look on his face. Was he going to surf? Looking at the calm surface of the sea, he wondered where the waves were.
"With your abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for you." After Xia Luokui finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged.
The wind rose and the clouds moved!
At the moment Xia Luokui unleashed his Psionic Imperial Realm strength, the sky instantly darkened. The calm was broken as an invisible energy enveloped them. Xia Luokui's body turned sluggish as the ship everyone was on began to sway!
"Wave!" Su Yun's eyes lit up.
"Hah!" Xia Luokui let out a soft roar, and his spiritual energy turned into a light purple color as he charged towards the energy on the horizon.
"Boom …" With an astonishing roar, the energy on the horizon instantly spread out. Xia Luokui took out a light blue jade slip and suddenly crushed it. A layer of light appeared and enveloped him.
"Go ahead!"
The energy on the horizon crashed down. The twenty-one people's bodies shook, but they did not suffer any substantial damage. However, the light around Xia Luokui's body became much dimmer at the moment of impact.
Under the impact of the energy, the surface of the sea was no longer as calm as before. The turbulent waves surged up dozens of feet, and with the ship as the center, they spread out in all directions!
When everyone heard this, they knew that they could not miss this opportunity. Without hesitation, they activated their spiritual energy and stepped on the planks to ride the waves.
"I'll wait here for your good news!" Although Xia Luokui's face was a little pale, he was still full of energy.
The twenty-one people were shocked, and they increased their speed.
The distance of 500 meters between them and the waves was like a mirror.
Su Yun saw from the corner of his eyes that there were two people leading the way on both sides. The rest of the people were moving side by side. Under the inexplicable pressure, their speed had been suppressed to an extremely slow level.
"Boom …"
With a muffled sound, there seemed to be an invisible wall blocking everyone's path. The fairy-like white-clothed youth's body shook, and he almost flew out!
"Barrier!" Su Yun followed behind everyone. Tang Hao seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally, and the distance between them was always less than a hundred feet.
After passing through this barrier, they would officially enter Fire God Island!
The first to move was still the fairy-like white-clothed youth. His five fingers were like scallions as he lightly pressed down with his palm. The barrier in front of him trembled slightly. Then, his other hand clenched into a fist and punched out. With a boom, his figure had already disappeared! When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of feet away!
Then, a young girl used some unknown method to appear in the barrier.
The others were not willing to fall behind. Many people had already entered amidst the spiritual energy riot.
"Let's go." Tang Hao looked at Su Yun and smiled.
Su Yun nodded. It seemed that Tang Hao was a little worried about him. He appreciated his kindness, but he could not always let him follow him like this.
So …
Su Yun's gaze focused. The Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art was activated at an extremely fast speed. He formed a palm with one hand, and sword intent filled his body as he slashed down diagonally.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the barrier in front of them shook violently. Su Yun turned around and smiled. Then, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Tang Hao was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Su Yun to have such strength. The power of his palm had caused the loophole in the barrier to last for two seconds. He was probably not inferior to himself!
Tang Hao shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. It seemed that his worry for this guy was completely unnecessary!
When they saw Su Yun, they could only see his back, and he was already two hundred feet away.
Entering the barrier, everyone felt as if they had returned to land from water because there was no inexplicable pressure at all!
Three thousand feet away from the surface of the water was Fire God Island!
A few people directly abandoned the wooden planks under their feet and stepped on the surface of the sea like swallows. Their figures flashed past at an extremely fast speed, and in a few breaths, they had already reached the shore!
Su Yun was not in a hurry. This time, they had three days. On the third day, they could still tear open the barrier and leave Fire God Island by themselves.
When faced with unknown things, Su Yun was generally more cautious.
Of the remaining twenty people, even the weakest was at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm. Three thousand feet was a piece of cake for them.
However, other than a few Spiritual Grandmasters, everyone else had to rely on the planks' buoyancy.
Su Yun stepped on the ground and his figure rose rapidly. As if there were suction cups under his feet, the plank followed him up several hundred feet.
Su Yun reached out and grabbed it. Channeling his spiritual power, the plank broke into several pieces. Every time it was about to hit the surface of the sea, he would throw out a piece of wood, then tap his foot on the ground to push himself up.
After several ups and downs, he finally landed on Fire God Island!
When his feet touched the ground, he could no longer see anyone else.
"Fire God Island, Zhurong Temple!" Su Yun took a deep breath and directly activated the Black Clouded Crane. In a trance, he had already plunged into the depths of the forest!
Few people traveled in groups, because this was a fight for an opportunity!
The Fire God Island was filled with a strange energy. It was clearly part of the world, but also seemed to be a world of its own.
After walking for about 15 minutes, Su Yun was finally able to confirm that this Fire God Island was different from the rest. There seemed to be a limit to the spiritual beasts on the island. Sixth-rank spiritual beasts were at the peak, and none of the spiritual beasts could surpass this rank after reaching it!
Some of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should have a shorter growth cycle than the outside world, because the spiritual herbs and fruits here were extremely rare even in the depths of Lin Yuan.
However, almost every precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasure was guarded by a powerful spiritual beast. Moreover, compared to the opportunity that might lie in Zhurong Temple, these things seemed insignificant. Therefore, very few people were interested in the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Along the way, Su Yun avoided the powerful spiritual beasts and headed straight for Zhurong Temple.
There was a fairly detailed map in the jade slip that Xu Qian had prepared, so Su Yun was very familiar with the place.
"Boom …"
There was a loud boom in the distance, followed by a wave of weakened spiritual energy.
"Someone is fighting on the Fire God Island!" Su Yun was curious and changed his direction to see what was going on.
A man and a spiritual beast.
A cold-looking young man in green stood quietly on the treetop, looking down at a sixth-rank spiritual beast on the ground. There was an innate contempt in his eyes.
The young man did not even look at the others who were spying on him. Su Yun knew that he must have noticed him and the other people who were hiding nearby.
The green-robed youth's figure flashed, and he took the spirit crystal of the dying spirit beast. At the same time, he plucked a spirit fruit that was emitting rich spirit energy. His figure paused for a moment, and then he left directly.
"So powerful!" Only after the young man in green left did Su Yun feel less oppressed. Obviously, this young man did not come from the South!
After the young man in green left, the other people who were hiding in the area also left. Su Yun didn't linger. He got his bearings, then leaped into the air.
The Fire God Island seemed to be a world of its own. Su Yun hurried on for two hours without stopping, but he still didn't see Zhurong Temple, which was marked on the map.
"It shouldn't be far." Su Yun ran into quite a few people along the way, but he only glanced at them from afar and didn't talk to them at all.
He was indeed a little weak compared to them. Apart from the students from Aoran College, almost everyone he saw was at the Spiritual Grandmaster stage or above.
But Su Yun didn't mind. The one blessed by the heavens didn't necessarily have to be the strongest, but the luckiest one! Clearly, he was …
After rushing for another hour, Su Yun finally felt a different aura in the mountain range!
"Is this Zhurong Temple?" The mountains in front of him stretched so far into the clouds that he couldn't see the peak.
Although he could see it with his eyes, it would probably take him as much time as before!
The path up the mountain wasn't as easy as before. Moreover, there were quite a few powerful spiritual beasts hiding in the area. Su Yun had to be careful, so he naturally slowed down a lot.
This was probably what they meant by the saying "a horse dies when looking at a mountain."
