"Vortex Storm?" Su Yin asked doubtfully.
"It's one of the most fearsome phenomena in the Jade Sea. It's a vortex formed by the convergence of shattered space and frenzied spiritual energy. Any cultivator beneath Eternal realm will be reduced to dust in an instant. Even if Eternal realm cultivators are able to withstand it, they'll end up like an ordinary human falling into a swamp. Eventually, they'll run out of energy and be trapped within!"
Qiu Zhaojun explained grimly.
"Cultivators rely on Sword Kinesis Flight and zhenqi to fly. If space is shattered, how can one fly? Even Pseudo Immortals won't be able to escape from the Vortex Storm. It's indeed a fearsome phenomenon! "
Seeing that his grandfather didn't quite understand, the Blissful Demon King interrupted.
Su Yin frowned. "Are there a lot of such rifts?"
"Not only are there a lot of them, they're also very well hidden. Furthermore, they'll move around as time passes. One could be here a second ago, and the next second, they could be in another place. Even if one were to look at the maps of the past, it would still be useless. If one wishes to be safe, one can only proceed slowly and explore the area bit by bit … "
Qiu Zhaojun said. "If one were to sail the ship straight ahead without any hesitation, it would be very easy for one to run into danger!"
"How do you explore the area?"
"You have to condense your zhenqi into threads and spread them out in all directions. Once your senses are severed, it means that you're in danger. Of course, this isn't a foolproof method. You'll have to make more preparations …" Qiu Zhaojun explained the most common scouting method.
Su Yin asked, "Isn't that troublesome?"
Qiu Zhaojun nodded. "It's not fast, but it's safe. In such a perilous place, the slightest carelessness could cost one's life. This is already the fastest method!"
Su Yin paused for a moment and looked at the Great Demon King not far away. "If we do as he says, how long will it take to reach the place where you are sealed?"
"At the very least … half a month!" Bliss replied.
"That long?" Su Yin was speechless. "Is there any other way?"
Traveling for half a month, he definitely couldn't take it. It was too slow!
Qiu Zhaojun sighed helplessly.
Back then, it had taken him and Liu Changxing three whole months to traverse this path. Half a month was already the fastest they could go. If even that was considered slow, wouldn't the experts who had entered in the past cry themselves to death?
"Traveling at normal speed is already the fastest I can do. If I want to travel any faster than that, I'll have to … cause the spatial rifts in the spatial rifts to reveal themselves!"
Qiu Zhaojun explained, "But that's almost impossible … There are too many cracks, and I don't know how many there are. The whirlpools and storms are also moving, so it's impossible to find them …"
"Let me try!"
After stopping the flying boat, Su Yin stood on the deck. Lines appeared in his eyes as he looked ahead.
The spatial network appeared before Zhang Xuan's eyes once more. Just as Zhang Xuan had said, there were indeed quite a few cracks in the surroundings that severed the spatial network and connected it to a massive vortex. It looked like tentacles extending out of the spatial network, but at the same time, it also looked like a massive octopus floating in the air.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to steer the flying boat around the rift, the Zhen Yuan suddenly spun around, and the scenery before him seemed to have been reset.
Su Yin was silent.
With his eye of discernment, he was able to see the spatial rifts and the spatial rifts in the spatial rifts. However, it would still be troublesome for him to steer the flying boat around them.
Just as Zhang Xuan had said, the only way to avoid the spatial rifts was to reveal themselves!
"Let me give it a try!" With a thought in mind, Su Yin flicked his wrist, and a foxtail floated into the air.
The Great Demon of Bliss' lips twitched.
This was the weed that had knocked him out in disdain for speaking too much nonsense. He didn't think that his grandfather would bring it with him when he left the Secluded Immortal Abode.
Paying no heed to Zhang Xuan's reaction, Su Yin tapped his finger, and the foxtail immediately flew forward. It took root in the air and absorbed spiritual energy, growing swiftly. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to the size of a water tank, and its height had exceeded a hundred meters.
With a light flick, the dandelion-like fine hairs on the foxtail flew in all directions, covering a radius of several dozen thousand li.
Under the assault of these fine hairs, the spatial rifts of the Celestial Ocean began to tremble. A massive spatial rift with a diameter of several thousand li appeared not too far away. Every single tendril of the spatial rifts extended for several dozen thousand li, spreading out in all directions.
The spatial rifts that had been invisible all this while had finally revealed their true form.
"…" Qiu Zhaojun was stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Over the past ten thousand years, countless experts had entered the Celestial Ocean. They had tried all kinds of methods, but none of them had been able to resolve the spatial rifts. Who could have thought that a single foxtail would be able to do it?
"It's only revealed its true form for a short period of time. It won't be able to maintain its form for long. Bliss, drive the flying boat forward!"
Su Yin instructed, interrupting the astonishment of the crowd.
Of the group, Bliss was the strongest, and he was the fastest to drive the flying boat.
The Great Demon nodded. Demonic aura gushed out from his body, and the flying boat immediately began making its way around the spatial rifts.
It was only at this moment that the crowd finally realized the true strength of The Great Demon, and their bodies trembled in fear.
A homicidal maniac at Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle … Probably only a fearsome figure like their little Senior Uncle would dare to order him around. If it had been anyone else, they would have long killed him!
Ten minutes later, the flying boat appeared behind the giant octopus. They had successfully cleared the spatial rifts!
Hu!
At this moment, the spatial rifts on the foxtail slowly disappeared, as if they had never appeared in the first place.
Su Yin waved his hand lightly, and the massive foxtail returned to its original state. Then, he kept it into his storage ring.
"This is … an immortal foxtail?"
Qiu Zhaojun, Fei Ting, and the others glanced at one another, speechless.
They thought that they would be trapped in the first trial for a very long time, but who could have thought that it would be so easy? More importantly, the foxtail was not even afraid of spatial rifts. Just how strong was it?
"It's even weaker than a foxtail …"
Everyone felt awkward.
In the past, they would have been infuriated if anyone dared to say that they were weaker than a foxtail. But now … there was no doubt that this foxtail would be able to tear apart the heavens and kill them on the spot!
In fact, even The Great Demon might not be able to withstand it!
More than a hundred immortal artifacts and a foxtail … Just how many secrets did Senior Granduncle have?
While they were still immersed in their shock, Senior Granduncle's voice sounded once more, "Foxtail? You're thinking too much! It's just a wild foxtail that I planted using ordinary feces. It's not that exaggerated … "
"To be able to turn a wild foxtail into a foxtail … Just how powerful must feces be? I really want to see it for myself … "
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing their expressions, The Great Demon of Bliss sneered coldly with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
I've tasted such feces before. Do you think that I'll say it out loud?
Hmph!
…
After bypassing the whirlpool, the flying boat continued to move forward for a while. Demon King Bliss pointed forward and said, "The place where I was sealed is the Spirit Treasure Valley in front of us. If you search carefully, you can find many treasures …"
Su Yin was perplexed. "Treasures?"
The goal of the experts from the Great Qian and Great Yuan Continents was to seal the foxtail. If there were treasures all around, wouldn't it be easier for him to recover and escape?
"The more treasures there are, the greater the danger. My cultivation was too high back then, and I was skilled in many secret arts as well. Ordinary seals were no longer effective against me. Only by borrowing the power of these treasures and spiritual energy was they able to trap me …"
The Great Demon of Bliss explained.
Su Yin nodded in realization.
Some fishing nets had to be equipped with weights in order to achieve better results. Using the seal as the fishing net and the treasures as the weights, the sealing power would indeed be stronger.
They chatted as they moved forward. Ten minutes later, a huge canyon appeared in their sight.
Su Yin looked over and saw many cultivators seated neatly in the canyon, seemingly waiting for something.
The cultivators here were clearly much stronger than those outside. Most of them were at Zongshi realm, and some of them had even reached Legatee realm. There were even Eternal realm and Pseudo Immortal realm experts!
"Are they from the Great Yan Continent as well?" Su Yin was puzzled.
The Great Yan Continent did not have a supreme spirit vein. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for anyone to break through to the Eternal realm. How could there be so many of them here?
Fei Ting said, "Of course not! Most of the Eternal realm and Pseudo Immortal realm experts came from the Great Qian and Great Yuan Continents in search of opportunities … Some of them are even elders of their sects! "
Pseudo Immortals and Eternal realm experts from other continents were not allowed to enter the Spirit Abyss guarded by the Great Yan Continent. However, they could enter the perilous land at will.
The perilous land of the Azure Sea was ranked fourth in the entire continent. There were many opportunities there, and many people did not dare to go to the top three perilous lands. It was understandable that they came here to search.
Su Yin was enlightened.
"The place where I was sealed is in the depths of the canyon. If you want to enter, you have to wait for the appearance of the Spirit Valley Hurricane!"
Bliss said, "This thing is somewhat similar to the Spirit Abyss. It's just that the time it appears is irregular. Like a tide, it blows out many treasures and also swallows cultivators and grinds them into powder. It's very dangerous! I'm trapped in it. Not only can I not escape, but I also have to endure the pain of the hurricane hitting me from time to time! "
"Where is the giant demon you mentioned?" Su Yin asked.
"It's deeper than the place where I was sealed … We can only confirm its exact location after the Spirit Valley Hurricane appears …" Bliss nodded.
As they spoke, the flying boat landed in front of the crowd.
The cultivators here were different from those outside. They did not come to look for trouble. Instead, they looked over with puzzlement.
It was ranked fourth on the Master Teacher Continent, and it was fraught with dangers. Those who were able to enter this place would have to tread carefully. They had never seen or even heard of anyone who dared to enter this place without any hesitation.
"Fei Ting? You're Fei Ting? "
Su Yin had just put the boat away when he heard an excited voice. Then, he saw an old man walking toward Fei Ting in disbelief.
"Elder Tan, you … are still alive?" Fei Ting widened his eyes in shock.
"Back then, I knew that there was no hope for me in the Great Yan Prefecture, so I went to the Great Qian Prefecture's Heaven Origin Sect. Not only did the sect leader treat my illness, he even helped me break through my bottleneck. After a hundred years, I've already reached Pseudo Immortal realm …" Elder Tan said with a smile.
Fei Ting trembled. Deep envy could be seen in his eyes as he said, "Elder Tan, your fortuitous encounter is truly unprecedented …"
"Haha, I guess my fortuitous encounter isn't too bad. A few days ago, I heard that something happened in the Jade Sea, so I came here to test my luck!" Elder Tan stroked his beard as he looked at the crowd. "Are these the juniors you brought with you? Right, aren't you supposed to be guarding the Alliance? Why do you have the time to come to such a perilous land? "
A wise man would not stand beside a collapsing wall. Under normal circumstances, the guardians of the Alliance would not take the risk to enter a perilous land. After all, the moment danger appeared, an entire prefecture could fall.
Why would they come here?
Most importantly, among the people he brought with him, there were ten or seventeen years old youths. If that was the case, it would be fine. But what was up with eleven or twelve-year-old children and an extremely ordinary parrot?
"This is my Junior Uncle Su Yin. This is the Prime Minister of the Great Yan royalty, Qiu Zhaojun. The rest of them are Junior Uncle's disciples …"
Fei Ting was shocked when he heard that they were juniors. He quickly explained, "Junior Uncle, this is Elder Tan, Tan Jin. He used to be the Hall Master of the Alliance's Alchemy Hall. More than a hundred years ago, he went to the Great Qian Prefecture due to his ill health. He never returned, and there was no news of him. I thought … he had already become an Immortal. I didn't expect him to become a Pseudo Immortal …"
Although there were supreme spirit veins in the Great Qian Prefecture and the Great Yuan Prefecture, not everyone could break through to the Eternal Realm or even the Pseudo Immortal Realm.
Talent, fortuitous encounter, perseverance, hard work, cultivation techniques … None of these could be missing.
Even Tan Jin found it hard to believe that someone at the fifth level of the Legacy Realm, who could die at any moment, had become a Pseudo Immortal in just a hundred years.
"Junior Uncle?" Tan Jin looked at Su Yin in confusion.
The young man before him didn't display any cultivation at all, so there was nothing special about him.
Then, he turned to look at the so-called disciples.
Wu Yuan … was just a Zongshi realm cultivator, not worth mentioning at all.
Liu Yiyi … was a Transcendent Mortal, even weaker!
Ji Le … Tan Jin was unable to see through his cultivation, but given his age, he was only eleven or twelve, so he couldn't be too strong. As for Xiao Wu … he was completely ignored.
He was just an ordinary parrot. It was hard to say whether he was a demonic beast or not, needless to say, his cultivation … Most likely, he was just an ordinary parrot.
To think that the head of the Alliance would bring a bunch of trash over … What was Fei Ting up to?
"You're here to look for fortuitous encounters as well?"
Tan Jin asked. He was perplexed, but he didn't voice it out.
"You can say so!" Fei Ting nodded.
"You might be strong, but as a member of the Alliance, you can't risk your life easily. How about this? I've been here for three months, and I've obtained some treasures. I'll give you some, and you should return as soon as possible!"
After a moment of hesitation, Tan Jin flicked his wrist, and a huge pile of medicinal herbs, treasures, and even a few strands of pure spiritual energy appeared before him.
Even though he hadn't been here for too long, with his powerful cultivation, he had still managed to obtain quite a few benefits.
Su Yin took a look at the pile of medicinal herbs.
As expected of a Pseudo Immortal expert. None of the items he had brought out were weak. If Fei Ting used them, he would be able to raise his cultivation significantly. It wouldn't be a problem for him to push for a breakthrough to Eternal 3-dan or even 4-dan.
To be able to take out so many treasures at once, Elder Tan was indeed very generous.
Just that …
Their goal here wasn't to look for treasures but to look for that giant demon.
"I appreciate Elder Tan's goodwill, but we'd still like to take a look inside!"
Fei Ting shook his head and rejected the other party's offer.
"Do you think that this is a game where you can enter and leave as you please? You must be joking! "
Tan Jin's face darkened. "Do you know the dangers of the hurricane and the valley?"
