Chapter 2004 On the way
A breeze blew across the sea.
Amid the green waves, a white tiger with a slender and deformed body, yet extremely flexible, was running on the water.
The white tiger walks on water without leaving any trace. It looks like it is running on four legs, but in fact it is performing a sophisticated escape technique. If someone is in the path of the white tiger, even if the white tiger passes by them, they can only feel a breeze and cannot even see its shadow.
Even if one is an immortal cultivator, if his cultivation is not high enough, he cannot see through the shape of the white tiger.
The white tiger headed straight to the north, and would not take a detour if it encountered obstacles along the way. It could cross the entire island in one leap, which was comparable to flying over the sea.
Qin Sang looked out the window and could only see the same old seascape. After Li'er set off, the ship fell completely silent. The passengers stayed in their own quiet rooms, and without exception, they all had restrictions in place to isolate the inside and outside.
Their current location was roughly in the southwest of Genzhou, but Li'er was heading straight north. It seemed that the sea would not be calm once they left Jitian Peak. They might have to take detours frequently to avoid danger. No wonder it took them ten years to arrive.
For a cultivator of the Void Refining Realm, ten years is usually enough for him to comprehend a magical power. As long as safety is ensured, Qin Sang doesn't mind going a little slower.
However, he did not plan to fall asleep directly, and ordered Zhuque to pay attention to the outside world and wake him up if anything new appeared. After all, one of the purposes of traveling is to broaden one's horizons.
At the same time, it is also to remember this route, maybe it will be useful when I return to Yuedu Bay in the future.
Zhuque knows that there are many experts on the ship who can crush it to death with just one finger, so he is very well behaved now.
Qin Sang quietly activated the power of the Dharma Image and controlled a wisp of Qingluan True Thunder. The thunder power flowed into his palm like water.
With his current ability, he can control the Blue Luan Thunder so that it does not leak any aura to the outside.
With his palm spread out, the Blue Luan True Thunder gathered into a puddle in the palm. Qin Sang stared at the thunder, silently practicing the technique of observing thunder in his palm, with a strange light in his eyes, as if this strand of thunder had evolved into a world that deeply attracted him. He maintained this posture, from sunrise to sunset, without moving for a long time.
His mind was completely immersed in it, forgetting time and everything around him.
With the help of Qingluan Dharma and the technique of observing thunder in the palm, Qin Sang experienced the power of real thunder and touched the subtle level. He felt every change, and tried to familiarize himself with it, to control it, and to use it.
The deeper his understanding, the more Qin Sang marveled at the mystery of the Blue Luan True Thunder. The Blue Luan that left the True Thunder was at least at the Fusion Stage, or perhaps even higher, but it was beyond Qin Sang's cognition and he could not make an accurate judgment. Those ancient powers sealed in the Storm Realm must be no weaker than the Blue Luan, and he did not know what great secrets the Storm Realm contained.
There was a tiny trace of real thunder. When Qin Sang's consciousness dived into it, it was as if he had entered a blue ocean. The sea water was made up of thunder, but it was not the heavenly thunder in normal cognition. It was the unique demonic thunder of the Blue Luan divine beast, which could not be guessed by common sense.
It seemed like a bottomless ocean was waiting for Qin Sang to explore. Even with the help of the Qingluan Dharma Image and the art of observing thunder in the palm, he was unable to touch the bottom of the sea. He could only swim on the upper layer, while the surface below was still thick and mysterious.
Yes, he can now use the Blue Luan True Thunder to condense the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Seal and greatly enhance the power of thunder magic, but it is only a superficial application and he is still ignorant of the truth, just like when he used the Ten Directions Yama Banner to control the Nine Nether Demon Fire.
The difference is that the Qingluan Dharma Image and the Art of Observing Thunder in the Palm can guide him, and he can move closer to the seabed little by little. The way forward is clear, and perhaps he can master this power without extremely high cultivation.
What Qin Sang needs to do now is to become as familiar with the Qingluan True Thunder as possible, so that he can perform thunder magic more smoothly and quickly.
Slight ripples appeared on the surface of the green thunder, and runes condensed. Once the runes were formed, they immediately dissipated, and the changes were unpredictable.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Qin Sang was suddenly awakened by Suzaku. He regained his consciousness and heard the sound of the mechanism clicking.
He released a wisp of spiritual consciousness and probed out of the quiet room. He immediately sensed the spiritual consciousness of other people, who were obviously alarmed by Li'er.
It turned out that it was Li'er who was changing her shape. The white tiger's body curled up and the mechanism was tightened, keeping only the quiet room still. The shape of other places changed drastically, from a white tiger to a ball.
The surface of the sphere is angular, made up of countless thin slices, and finally covered with a layer of fluff. This form has nothing to do with flesh and blood at all. It immediately rises up with the wind and flies into the sky.
It was late at night and the moon was bright in the sky.
Li'er flew towards the moon along the moonlight, stopped at a very high point, and then continued to head north.
Like an inflated leather bag, pulled by a beam of moonlight, hanging on the moon hook, drifting in the wind, its speed dropped greatly.
There must be a reason for doing this. Qin Sang looked at the sea below and soon discovered that the color of the sea water had become darker. It became darker as he went north, and finally became as black as ink.
I don’t know what’s at the bottom of the sea that has turned this place into a sea of ink.
Qin Sang became alert, but nothing unusual happened until dawn. However, the pear stopped as soon as the moon disappeared. There happened to be a deserted island ahead, so the pear fell on the island and did not move until night fell and the moon rose.
Alternating between day and night, resting during the day and flying at night, they did not fly out of the Ink Sea for two months.
It was this evening.
Just as Li'er was about to fly into the air, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Put me down."
Other people on the boat also heard it. Qin Sang frowned slightly. He could tell that the person who spoke was the man in the bamboo hat, whose name was Wen Sheng.
This person has been acting mysterious all the time. What does he want to do by getting off the boat now?
"Eh?"
Li Er didn't expect that someone would get off the boat, and was very surprised. "Dear guest, you can't get off the boat here, it will attract the danger of the seabed, and Li Er can't wait for you alone."
"I don't want to go to Genzhou anymore. Can't I get off the boat halfway?" Wen Sheng asked in a hoarse voice.
"Of course you can get off the boat, but the fare is non-refundable, and it is really very dangerous here. Are you sure you want to get off here?" Li'er kindly reminded.
"Open the door."
The temperature rise is unequivocal.
Qin Sang frowned and looked out the window, then saw Wen Sheng disappear into the depths of the ink sea without even turning his head.
One person was missing, and Li'er was about to adjust the structure when Qin Sang suddenly called out, "Wait! See if this person left anything behind."
"Yes, fellow Taoist, you have thought it through carefully," a steady voice echoed.
The others also understood immediately that Wen Sheng's departure was suspicious, and they were afraid that he was involved in something and was trying to shift the blame to someone else.
In an instant, rays of spiritual consciousness swept towards the quiet room where Wen Sheng was, not even sparing the places where Wen Sheng had passed.
"That distinguished guest hasn't been anywhere else," Li'er said timidly.
Even though nothing was gained, everyone did not think it was a waste of time. The boat returned to silence and continued on its journey.
Finally, they flew out of the Ink Sea, and the color of the sea water returned to normal. The pear fell from the sky and changed its shape again, becoming a ship.
Qin Sang and others "lived" in the cabin, which was flat except for a long mast.
The mast stood alone without a flag, with a glittering bell hanging from the top.
Li'er, contrary to her usual behavior, not only did not hide, but instead took the initiative to expose herself.
'Jingle Bell……'
As the boat sailed on the sea, the light illuminated an area of dozens of miles, as eye-catching as the bright moon, and the melodious bell sounds spread farther in the wind.
Accompanied by the ringing of bells, they traveled day and night without encountering any danger, and not even a single monster approached them. It was as if they were sailing on a dead sea.
Qin Sang guessed that the bell was a token of trust, and that Canjin City must have reached some kind of agreement with a certain existence in this sea area, allowing it to pass freely.
As expected, nothing happened until Li'er put away the bell and transformed into a new form.
In this way, along the way, Li'er changed into various forms and used various strange means to successfully cross one sea after another.
"Only a big force like Canjin City can do such a thorough job. Even if others remember this route, it is impossible for them to pass through safely..."
Qin Sang shook his head secretly, once again realizing the importance of Canjin City.
Five years after setting out from Jitian Peak, they came to an ordinary sea area, but Li'er stopped on a small island.
Everyone thought that it was just a short stop like in Mohai, but unexpectedly, Li'er stayed there for several months and showed no signs of leaving.
"What is Miss Li'er waiting for?"
Finally someone couldn't help asking.
"Li'er is waiting for a high tide. The elders have told us that we must wait for the tide to come, otherwise we can't leave no matter what," Li'er replied.
"What dangers are ahead?" someone asked.
"Li'er doesn't know what dangers lie ahead, so please be patient, dear guests," Li'er tried her best to comfort them.
Fortunately, everyone was sensible and knew the whole story, so they stopped urging and waited patiently for the tide.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and they had been waiting on the island for nearly a year. Instead of waiting for the high tide, they waited for an unexpected guest.
At noon that day, Qin Sang was contemplating the Blue Luan True Thunder when he suddenly felt a palpitation and woke up suddenly.
The next moment, Qin Sang felt a powerful aura approaching at an alarming speed.
The other party did not hide his intention at all. His surging aura spanned the sky and earth, and he headed straight for the island with a clear goal.
"Hiss! Late stage of Void Refining!"
Qin Sang was startled and stood up suddenly. Looking out the window, he saw the weather on the sea suddenly changed.
‘Wow! ’
A hurricane surged in from the sea, huge waves rose to the sky, and an endless storm surrounded the island, and in an instant the sky became dark.
'boom! ’
A violent wind swept across the island, uprooting the grass and trees and causing flying sand and rocks.
A terrifying atmosphere descended immediately.
A gray wind blew in the sky. This was no ordinary wind, but a terrifying spiritual wind formed by the secret technique of mobilizing the vital energy of heaven and earth. It could destroy everything. Immortal cultivators with slightly weaker strength would be blown into ashes on the spot if they fell into the wind.
'boom! ’
The island could not bear the weight and continued to shake violently.
The sea water rolled back in all directions, and the huge waves were as big as mountains, which could easily smash the island into pieces. The sea water and the spiritual wind finally formed eight huge water tornadoes, standing tall and straight, like a cage of heaven and earth, trapping the island.
Li'er is a beast trapped in a cage.
Everyone on the boat felt the strong pressure and there was a commotion, but they remained motionless and kept on guard.
Facing such divine power, it was rare that Li'er could respond calmly. She raised her tiger head and spit out a jade token, "I am Li'er, the 29th deacon of the Canjin City Department. I am on the order of the third elder of Canjin City. I am passing through the treasure land. I don't know if I have offended you. I hereby apologize to you. I hope you will forgive me."
The jade token flew towards the storm, but was bounced back by a gust of wind.
A figure faintly appeared above a Feng Shui pillar, and a cold snort was heard, "I don't care where you come from, the person I'm looking for has been taken away by you, hand him over immediately!"
The revenge seeker is here!
Qin Sang and others all had this thought, and they all thought of Wen Sheng who had disembarked early.
Looking at Yueduwan and other major immortal cultivation realms, strong men in the late stage of refining emptiness are rare. I don't know what Wen Sheng did to provoke such a strong man. No wonder he is so mysterious.
"I don't know who you are looking for, senior. Can you tell Li'er first?" Li'er asked back.
"Where does all this nonsense come from!"
A huge spiritual power rushed over, trying to tear open the barrier on Li'er's body.
"Senior, please calm down. I have no intention of offending you. If that person is on the boat, Li'er will never stop him. But the others are all distinguished guests of Canjin City. Li'er has a duty to fulfill..."
Li'er responded hurriedly, her whole body burning with pale flames and emitting strange fluctuations, she dared to resist.
After a pause, the mysterious man snorted, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"
"Senior can crush Li'er to death with just one finger, but this is Li'er's duty. If Li'er dies, she will die without any regrets. I believe the Third Elder will seek justice for Li'er," Li'er answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
At this moment, a sigh came from a quiet room, "Alas! After not seeing you for many years, Island Master Meng is still so irritable."
This voice belonged to the person who had agreed with Qin Sang at the beginning.
"Ok?"
The mysterious man looked over, recognized the other person's identity, and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
"My junior brother has secured the position of the sect leader. I, a defeated general, will only be an eyesore if I stay. It just so happens that I have long wanted to travel to the Great Zhou, but I didn't expect to run into Island Master Meng here," the person in the quiet room said quietly, "Is this the person Island Master Meng is looking for?"
The void manifested a figure wearing a bamboo hat and imitated the rising breath.
"It's this guy! Where is he now?" The mysterious man asked murderously.
The people in the quiet room sighed, "Island Master Meng arrived a step too late. This man was cunning and had already disembarked early. Everyone can testify to this. Please don't embarrass Miss Li'er."
"Yes, I can testify to this. I have heard of the great reputation of Island Master Meng for a long time, and finally I have the chance to see him in person."
"That's true..."
"If we had known this, we would have kept this person for Island Master Meng."
……
Everyone spoke up to testify and described in detail the place where Wen Sheng got off the boat, hoping only to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.
Qin Sang didn't know who this Island Master Meng was. None of the top forces he knew of had such a person, so he must be a powerful hidden being.
As the figure of Island Master Meng faded away, the cage that trapped the heaven and earth disappeared, and everything became calm.
"This person's strength is far superior to that of the Black Demonic Peng!"
This can be regarded as the first time that Qin Sang faced a strong man in the late stage of Refining Void.
Although Island Master Meng was not targeting him, the feeling that the world was controlled by the other party and he was a beast in a cage left a deep impression on him.
This was a small episode. One month after the island owner Meng left, a white line appeared where the sky and the sea met. The tide rolled in, deafening. Under the sea, there was an undercurrent, and a huge ocean current flowed through here.
The tide is finally here!
