The Falling Jade Sea was located at the edge of the Great Yan Continent. It was roughly 30,000 li southwest of the Royal Capital.
"The Ten Perilous Lands are filled with danger. Your Majesty Zhan Qing, you're in danger, so it's best that you don't go …"
After a brief discussion, they quickly decided on seven people.
Su Yin, Fei Ting, Qiu Zhaojun, Wu Yuan, Extreme Bliss, Xiao Wu, and Liu Yiyi.
Qiu Yuan, Yuan Buyi, and the others also wanted to tag along, but they were rejected in the end.
The Perilous Lands were filled with dangers, and no one dared to say that it was safe. The fewer people there were, the better.
"Let's go!"
After choosing the people, Su Yin took out the flying ship and had Fei Ting drive it. After determining the direction, they flew straight ahead.
Under the control of an Eternal realm expert, the flying ship tore through the air at an incredible speed.
For such a long distance, it would take a Heritage realm expert an entire day to drive a flying ship. However, with Zhang Xuan's cultivation, he could easily reach the destination in six to eight hours.
"The Falling Jade Sea is ranked fourth among the Ten Perilous Lands of the Dry Origin Continent. It's hidden in the ocean, and it's not fixed. It moves with the flow of the currents. Once we reach the Falling Jade Sea, we'll have to find the location first before we can enter! "
On the deck, The Great Demon of Extreme Bliss explained, "This place is extremely dangerous. Putting aside Heritage realm experts and Eternal realm experts, even Pseudo Immortals might die if they enter …"
Everyone nodded.
He had been imprisoned here for eight thousand years. Even though he had spent most of his time in hibernation, he was still the one who understood the Falling Jade Sea better than anyone else.
Soon, he explained the Perilous Lands of the Dry Origin Continent in detail.
"Is it true that spirit veins can be found in the Perilous Lands?" Fei Ting asked. As the head of the Elder Hall, he rarely left the Alliance despite his high cultivation. He had only heard of the Perilous Lands, but he had never been there.
"That's right!" The Great Demon of Extreme Bliss nodded. "The Falling Jade Sea is ranked fourth among the Ten Perilous Lands. If you're lucky, not only will you be able to find a Grade-1 spirit vein, but you might even find an incomplete Grade-1 spirit vein!"
"This …" Fei Ting's breathing quickened.
He had never seen a transcendent-grade spiritual vein before, but his Youngest Uncle had once refined a semi-transcendent-grade spiritual vein. Its effects were immeasurable. If the Alliance could get their hands on one, they would have four or five more Eternal Realm experts in less than three years!
Transcendent-tier … Even if it was incomplete, it would still be far more powerful than before!
"Could it be … that this place also has a Spirit Abyss River? Connect with Lingyuan? "Su Yin was puzzled.
"There's a river here, but I don't think it's connected to the Spirit Abyss. If it's connected to the Spirit Abyss, the Great Demons would be able to enter the continent from here. They wouldn't have to fight the humans anymore …" Fei Ting said.
During his decades as Hall Master, he had spent most of his time in the Spirit Abyss. He knew a great deal about this connected world. If there really was a place that was connected to a danger zone, the Giant Devil would definitely explore it no matter how risky it was.
"It's not connected, but there's a long river!" Su Yin was puzzled. "Then … where did the river come from? Is it not something unique to the Spirit Abyss? "
"I'm not too sure either …" Fei Ting smiled awkwardly. Even though he had fought with the Great Demons for ten thousand years, he still had no idea where the Spirit Abyss came from. As for what the river was, it was still a mystery.
"The river in the danger zone is different from the one in the Spirit Abyss. The river in the danger zone appears once every five years, and even if there's a slight deviation, it's usually within a few months. On the other hand, the river in the danger zone appears without any warning, and it ends very quickly as well. Furthermore, the grade of the river varies. Sometimes, it's large, and sometimes, it's small. Sometimes, it carries incomplete transcendent-grade spiritual veins, and sometimes, it's even weaker than a grade-3 spiritual vein! "
The Great Demon of Euphoria explained. "Furthermore, the river appears in the depths of the danger zone. The reason why I was able to obtain the Soulsearing Mirror was due to my good luck. As soon as I entered the danger zone, the river erupted.
"Of course, the width and depth of the river in the danger zone can't compare to that of the Spirit Abyss. If the Spirit Abyss is a huge river, the river in the danger zone is just a canal used to irrigate the land.
The frown on Su Yin's forehead deepened. It would have been fine if Fei Ting didn't explain, but now that he did, he was even more confused about the river in the Spirit Abyss.
Even though he wasn't too good at studying in his previous life, he still knew that the river in the danger zone and the Spirit Abyss contained high spiritual energy.
But where was the source? Was there an even larger river in the danger zone?
If there was, how powerful would it be?
Zhang Xuan asked the question in his mind, but neither The Great Demon nor Fei Ting had an answer to it.
There were simply too many secrets hidden in the Dry Origin Continent. Even though the people on the deck were of high standing, it was impossible for them to know all of them.
After chatting for a while longer, Su Yin turned to the flying ship and said, "It's too slow to fly at this speed. Hall Master Fei, is it possible for us to tear apart space and fly through it?"
In the past, this speed was indeed fast, but after reaching the Eternal realm and gaining a certain level of control over space, it felt too slow.
If he traveled at full speed, he could cover the distance of thirty thousand li in a few breaths. However, it would take him several hours on the flying ship. The difference was simply too great.
"Yes, but there are two problems. First, even if I can tear apart space, it's only enough for me to travel through it. The flying ship is simply too big for me to fit in!"
Fei Ting said, "Second, even though the formation on the flying ship is sturdy, I'm not sure if it can withstand the pressure of space …"
One of the reasons why only those who had reached the Eternal realm could travel through space was because they possessed the strength to tear apart space. More importantly, the recovery and pressure of space were extremely strong. If one's cultivation was slightly weaker, even if it was at the pinnacle of the Legacy realm, they would be squashed into a meat patty.
As an Eternal realm 2-dan cultivator, he could tear apart space and move forward, but what about the flying ship?
If it couldn't withstand the explosion, it was very likely that other than those who had transcended the Legacy realm, Qiu Zhaojun, Wu Yuan, Liu Yiyi, and the others would die.
"I can try to tear apart space. As for the flying ship, you don't have to worry about it …" Su Yin smiled.
The complicated formation on the flying ship was confirmed last time. It was used to travel through space. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to kill a Legacy realm 7-dan flood dragon so easily.
"As long as Junior Uncle can create a bigger space crack, I can drive the flying ship directly over!" Hearing what he said, Fei Ting nodded with a smile.
Su Yin didn't say anything else. With a flip of his wrist, the True Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. He recalled the profound meaning of chopping firewood in his mind. His eyes flashed, and lines appeared in his pupils.
In an instant, the smooth and smooth space in front of him was like a piece of wood, showing wrinkles.
If his eyes were three-dimensional in the past, they were four-dimensional now. He could easily see the direction and method of spatial distortion.
"Break!"
With a low roar, he waved the True Dragon Sword. The sword light instantly crossed a distance of ten thousand li and slashed down along a crack.
Kacha!
The space rumbled and was split into two like a piece of paper. A crack that spanned ten thousand li appeared.
"…"
Fei Ting's face twitched, and he nearly lost control of himself and fell off the ship.
Even though they were both at Eternal realm 2-dan, he was lucky to be able to create a crack the size of a human with his full strength. Yet, this young man actually managed to create a crack that spanned ten thousand li with just a swing of his sword …
Did the gap between them have to be so huge?
Yet, you still have the cheek to say that you don't know any martial arts?
You didn't hide your cultivation?
Who would believe that?
He wasn't the only one. The Great Demon was also shocked, and it heaved a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that it didn't look for trouble after recovering its cultivation. Otherwise, even with the Soul-Searing Mirror, it would have been sliced into pieces.
"Sorry, I used too much strength …"
Su Yin scratched his head awkwardly.
This was the first time he had carefully observed space, and it was also the first time he had used the technique of chopping firewood. He didn't expect it to be so powerful!
He had been careless!
"…"
Everyone was stunned.
He used too much strength … Did that mean that … he didn't use his full strength?
It was fortunate that he had struck the air. If the sword had landed on the ground, would half of the Great Yan Prefecture have been destroyed?
"Let's enter!"
Fei Ting knew that this wasn't the time to be conflicted. Suppressing his trembling, he drove the flying ship toward the spatial rift.
As soon as they entered, the reinforcing formation inscriptions at the bottom of the ship immediately glowed with a warm light, keeping the spatial rift at bay.
"It really works …"
Fei Ting's heart skipped a beat.
To be able to ward off the spatial pressure just by inscribing formation inscriptions on a wooden ship … Little Senior Uncle's comprehension of formation inscriptions was on par with his cultivation. In fact … it might even be stronger!
In less than two breaths after entering the spatial rift, the flying ship came out once more. Everyone's body jolted, and only then did they realize that they had traveled more than ten thousand li.
Liu Yiyi widened her eyes in disbelief.
It took her ten days and ten nights to travel from Royal City to the Subjugation Immortal Sect on an aerial spirit beast.
Yet, with their current speed, they were able to reach the Subjugation Immortal Sect in just a few breaths … As expected, before absolute strength, distance meant nothing at all.
With the experience from the first spatial rift, Su Yin only managed to create a spatial rift the size of a flying ship. Fei Ting steered the ship into the spatial rift once more, and after three consecutive attempts, it finally came to a halt.
At this moment, they were already more than thirty thousand li away from the Great Yan Royal City. They were floating above a boundless sea.
"Little Senior Uncle, this is the Celestial Ocean …" Fei Ting said.
Su Yin nodded.
From afar, a crimson sun could be seen rising from the surface of the sea, illuminating the surface of the water. It was as if countless colorful clouds were gathering together.
It was the seventh day since they had left the forbidden grounds!
Yesterday afternoon, they had arrived at the Great Yan Royal City. Donkey had brought back the crown, saved the Poison Master Hall, led the Sect Leader Assembly, opened the Lingyuan River, killed Jie Mo Luo, and returned to the Subjugation Immortal Sect …
It might seem like a lot, but in truth, it had all happened in a single night.
With just a single night of hard work, their cultivation had risen from Zongshi 9-dan pinnacle to Eternal 2-dan … While it was a little slow, it was still a decent result.
After taking a look around, Su Yin asked, "Where is the perilous zone?"
They were in an extremely vast region. There were boats and fishermen sailing on it, but no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like there was nothing out of the ordinary.
"As the perilous zone appears in different locations every time, we have to look for it carefully. The sect leader and the others went to the Celestial Ocean three months ago, and it took them two months to find the exact location …"
Wu Yuan, who had been silent all this while, said.
Su Yin's lips twitched.
That was true.
The sect leader and the First Elder of the Subjugation Immortal Sect had left the sect three months ago, and it was only seven days ago that they received news of their deaths. It was not that they had entered the perilous zone for three months but that it had taken them a long time to find the perilous zone!
"The perilous zone of the Celestial Ocean is governed by the laws of space. Those who have never been here before will have to spend a long time to find it. However, I have just escaped from it a few days ago, so I know the exact location …"
The Great Demon of Bliss pointed into the distance and said, "It's over there!"
"Drive the flying boat and lead the way," Su Yin said.
Without wasting any time, The Great Demon of Bliss drove his demonic aura, and with the enhancement of his Pseudo Immortal realm cultivation, the flying boat tore through space and flew into the distance. In just a few moments, it had already traveled over a thousand li.
After passing through several spatial barriers, the flying boat finally came to a halt.
What appeared in front of them was a small island with a diameter of only two to three kilometers.
"This is the entrance …" The Great Demon of Bliss pointed in the direction of the island.
Su Yin looked over and saw that it was no different from the other islands. It was lush with vegetation, and there were all kinds of animals and spirit beasts flying around. He could not sense any ripples of energy coming from it, and there was no glow of treasures either.
"There are many cultivators here …" Fei Ting frowned.
Following Zhang Xuan's gaze, the crowd turned their gazes over and saw a huge group of cultivators circling around the island. There were at least a thousand of them, and none of them were weak. The stronger ones had reached Zongshi realm, and the weaker ones were at Divinity realm 1-dan or 2-dan.
"Most of them are wandering cultivators!"
Qiu Zhaojun explained. "They don't have the Tier-1 Spirit Veins of their sects, and they don't have sufficient resources from the alliance either. If they wish to improve themselves, they can only come here to seek fortuitous encounters!"
Even though Zhang Xuan had the support of his clan, he did not belong to any sect or dynasty. He could be considered as a wandering cultivator as well. It was only after he and Liu Changxing ventured into the Danger Zone that they managed to achieve a breakthrough to Zongshi realm that he became an official in the royal court.
It was from this experience that he understood the difficulties of wandering cultivators.
"Since they are looking for fortuitous encounters, why don't they enter the Danger Zone instead of loitering outside?" Fei Ting asked.
This island was only the outermost area of the Danger Zone. What kind of treasures could they possibly obtain here?
Qiu Zhaojun replied, "Even though the fortuitous encounters are located in the Danger Zone, the spiritual energy outside is much denser than anywhere else. Furthermore, if something happens inside, there's a chance of obtaining treasures outside. More importantly, it's safe here."
After listening for a moment, Su Yin came to a realization.
The so-called Danger Zone was somewhat similar to a volcano. From time to time, it would spew out some spiritual energy and treasures. Even though the amount was not much, it was something that could be obtained. It would be of great help to wandering cultivators.
"If the Danger Zone doesn't spew out spiritual energy, it means that the passage to enter is not open. Under such circumstances, even Inherited Realm experts won't be able to enter …" Qiu Zhaojun continued.
The crowd nodded.
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Su Yin instructed The Great Demon. The flying boat swayed and descended toward a place with a lot of people.
"This is the Trident Gang's base. Who dares to behave so atrociously?!"
Before the boat landed, a loud shout rang out. Following that, dozens of wandering cultivators flew over and surrounded Su Yin and the others. Their eyes were filled with vigilance.
