The sun rose above the sea, its golden rays illuminating the blue waves.
Miao Yi had steered the ship for a long journey, and it took him over three months to travel from East Arrival City to the Sea of Constellations. On the other hand, Yao Ruoxian had carried him through the air, and it only took him a single night to fly across the boundless ocean.
The transcendent artifacts that could still glow red at night were suppressed by the sunlight during the day, and only two grey spheres could be seen.
Two grey figures streaked across the sky, and landed on the shore.
Yao Ruoxian, Miao Yi and Charcoal landed on the ground, and the two grey figures quickly condensed into two black bar maces. With a wave of Yao Ruoxian's hand, he stored them in his storage ring.
Miao Yi followed Yao Ruoxian's gaze, and saw that in the distance, he could faintly see the blood-red clouds that connected the heavens and the earth.
Miao Yi couldn't be more familiar with this sight. It was the scene of the Boundless Secular World.
"I've finally returned to the Celestial Nation." Miao Yi spread his arms, facing the rising sun above the sea, and stretched. The sea breeze brushed past his body, and it was quite comfortable.
"This isn't the Celestial Nation, but the Boundless Nation!" Yao Ruoxian scoffed.
"Ah!" Miao Yi looked around in surprise, "Why did you bring me to the Boundless Nation?"
"You only said the Boundless Secular World, but you didn't say that we had to go to the Celestial Nation."
Miao Yi asked curiously, "You're a cultivator of the Boundless Nation?"
Yao Ruoxian narrowed his eyes, and seemed to have thought of something. He shook his head, "I'm just a Loose Cultivator. You're a cultivator of the Celestial Nation?"
"Yes … You're a Loose Cultivator!" Miao Yi was a little proud. No matter how low his cultivation was, he was still someone with an official identity and background. As long as he did well, his future would be incomparable to that of a Loose Cultivator.
But he quickly realized that his life was in the hands of the other party, so he shouldn't be too complacent. Looking at the Boundless Secular World in the distance, he hurriedly changed the topic, "Does the Boundless Nation also have the Boundless Secular World?"
"Don't be so surprised! I can tell at a glance that you're someone who hasn't come out much! " Yao Ruoxian gazed at the Boundless Secular World, and slowly said, "Most of the small world is the ocean. Most of the scattered islands are occupied by powerhouses who have cultivated for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. And the two largest continents are like crescent moons, and are occupied by the Six Sages. The Celestial Nation, the Buddhist Nation, and the Boundless Nation occupied a 'crescent moon'. The three nations were adjacent to each other. The Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun, the Buddha Sage Cang Lei, and the Dao Sage Feng Beichen were all unwilling to give up the Boundless Secular World. Because of this, they fought a few times. Because there was no clear victor, they finally compromised and divided the land with the Boundless Secular World as the center of the three nations. "
"Small world … Large world …" Miao Yi muttered as he stared at the Boundless Secular World.
He had heard of this before. The reason why there were small worlds and large worlds was because of the Boundless Secular World.
How could the people who originally lived in the Small World know that their place was called a Small World? Ever since 100,000 years ago, 100,000 celestial soldiers and generals chased after a great devil and came to this place to create the Boundless Secular World, only then did everyone realize that there was always someone better than you, and that there was always a sky beyond a sky. Hence, they called the place they lived in a Small World, and the place where the celestial soldiers and generals lived in a Large World.
However, the Large World had always existed in the legends. It was said that the Six Sages yearned for the Large World, but even with the cultivation of the Six Sages, they were unable to find out where the Large World was located in the universe. This was because the universe was too vast and boundless. It was not something that the Six Sages' abilities could cover, so they could only look up at the starry sky and sigh.
"Do the Devil Nation, Ghost Nation, and Yao Nation occupy the other 'crescent moon'?" Miao Yi asked.
Yao Ruoxian nodded and said, "If we head west of the 'crescent moon' where we are, we will reach the 'Flowing Clouds Dune Sea' at the end of the crescent moon. Once we cross the Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, we will reach the other 'crescent moon'. It is the territory of Devil Sage Yun Aotian, Ghost Sage Situ Xiao, and Yao Sage Ji Huan."
Miao Yi asked curiously, "Among the Six Sages, who has the highest cultivation?"
Yao Ruoxian shook his head and said, "It should be about the same. However, some people say that Devil Sage Yun Aotian is slightly stronger. However, the Six Sages are hostile towards each other and keep each other in check. If Devil Sage Yun Aotian wants to dominate the world, the others will join forces to suppress him. Thus, the six of them have always maintained a balance. So many years have passed. How would people with low cultivations like us know which of the six of them is stronger and which is weaker? It's not something we can figure out at all. Ugh … "
He turned to look at Miao Yi and changed the topic, "Why am I talking nonsense with you about this? Do you think a lowly White Lotus Third Grade cultivator like you has the right to concern yourself with the affairs of the Six Sages? "
Miao Yi didn't take his words to heart. He chuckled and said, "Senior is experienced and knowledgeable. This Junior wishes to follow along and broaden his horizons."
Yao Ruoxian scoffed, "Right now, you should be the one getting the eggs for me."
Pointing at the rising sun above the sea, Miao Yi shrugged helplessly and said, "There's no moon in broad daylight. Without the moon, we won't be able to lure the Hell Mantises out. We can only do it at night."
"Then we'll talk about it at night." Yao Ruoxian turned to look at Charcoal. He saw that Charcoal was currently chasing after a group of crabs that were running amok on the beach. Once it caught up to them, it would stomp them into the sand with its hoof. Then, it would lower its head and chomp them into its mouth, chewing twice before swallowing them. It was having the time of its life.
What was even more amazing was that its front two hooves would form an '8' shape and press down on two crabs. Then, it would look back and raise its butt. Its back two hooves would then form a crooked '8' shape and press down on two more crabs. Once it hit its target, it would proudly swing its tail around twice.
However, the crabs under its feet, with its weight … would probably be crushed to a pulp by it.
Yao Ruoxian had never seen a dragon steed with this kind of virtue before. He grimaced in pain as he watched. He was finally convinced. Flicking his dirty and plump sleeves, he sat down cross-legged. "I suffered some internal injuries after fighting with Yuan Kaishan. Then, I brought that fat bastard along to fly so far away. It took a lot of my transcendence energy to recover."
Miao Yi hurriedly asked about the matter that had been on his mind throughout the journey. "Didn't you promise to refine a handy transcendent artifact for me?"
"Didn't I say that I would refine it for you after you helped me get the tiny mantids?"
"Don't!" Miao Yi hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Senior Yao, I am an honest person. I always speak my mind. Your cultivation is far higher than mine. If I don't fulfill my promise, I won't be able to escape either. But I can't do anything about it! If I fulfill my promise and you run away, I won't be able to chase after you even if I wanted to. "
Yao Ruoxian couldn't be bothered with him. He tossed an Orb of Will into his mouth. Facing the sea breeze and listening to the waves, he sat down cross-legged to recover the transcendence energy he had expended.
It was useless even if Miao Yi spoke until his tongue was dry. He looked to his left and right. He wanted to escape, but it seemed like he didn't have the confidence.
It wasn't like he didn't have the slightest confidence.
He could only obediently sit beside Yao Ruoxian, tossing an Orb of Will into his mouth as well. He sat down cross-legged to slowly refine it.
When it was high noon, Yao Ruoxian slowly stopped his cultivation and stood up. He had already used the Orb of Will to recover the transcendence energy he had expended.
Miao Yi immediately opened his eyes. Keeping the Orb of Will, he jumped up and asked with a bashful smile, "Senior Yao, it's still early. There's still a lot of time before night falls. Why don't you use this time to help me refine the transcendent artifact?"
