Chapter 545 First Arrival, Anecdotes
Li Qian Jie heard that Qin Ming had agreed.
The smile on Scarface's face deepened even more. "Excellent, others would beg for the chance to go to the Outer Sea."
"After all, the resources of the Outer Sea are not comparable to the Five Great Cultivation Worlds."
"Daoist Friend Qin, let's go then."
Subsequently.
The figures of the two disappeared silently from Sky Wave Immortal City.
On the way, Qin Ming asked Li Qian Jie, "Between the Outer Sea and the Five Great Cultivation Worlds, besides the Spirit Devouring Tide, are there any other natural barriers?"
"Could it be that there is no other way to go?"
Li Qian Jie smiled faintly. "It's not that there isn't. Besides the Spirit Devouring Tide acting as a barrier, where even Array Formation Power is ineffective, the main reason is that the journey is extremely long. Nascent Soul Cultivators cannot traverse it, and the closer one gets to the Outer Sea, the more groups of Great Demons are entrenched."
"Ordinary cultivators simply cannot rely on their own abilities to arrive. Before they even reach their destination, they will all become food for monster beasts."
"Moreover, the Demon Cultivators of the Outer Sea are different from those in the Five Great Cultivation Worlds. They are inherently savage and abnormal, and are mortal enemies with the Human Race. It's either you die or I live."
"Daoist Friend Qin, when you arrive at the Outer Sea, you must be extremely vigilant when encountering Demon Cultivators."
Qin Ming nodded slightly, then asked, "Then how shall we proceed next?"
"And after I finish my business, how should I return to the East Sea?"
"If it only opens once every few centuries, then it would really be too much of a waste of time."
Li Qian Jie explained upon hearing this, "The channel to the Outer Sea is controlled by the Horizon Ocean Pavilion, which is the largest Human Race faction in the Outer Sea. The Pavilion Master is a Core Formation Great Perfection cultivator."
As he spoke, he took out a Meteorite Iron Token from his bosom and handed it to Qin Ming, continuing, "This item is the Vast Sea Teleportation Token. Going to the Outer Sea requires using a Super-Distance Teleportation Formation. Of course, the cost for each Teleportation is not small, and even for Nascent Soul Cultivators like us, it is a huge expense. Daoist Friend Qin can only bear it yourself."
"This Meteorite Iron Token is gifted to Daoist Friend Qin for free. This Seat happens to have a few recommendation slots."
"As for the method of returning, there are still ways on the Outer Sea side. Daoist Friend Qin, you don't need to worry."
Qin Ming nodded slightly when he heard what the other party said, and then put away the Meteorite Iron Token.
The two flew towards the Farthest East Land for half a month, finally arriving at a pitch-black Sea Region.
"Daoist Friend Qin, we've arrived."
Li Qian Jie immediately took the lead and drilled into the Sea Bottom. Qin Ming also released a Body Protection Spirit Light to follow him.
After proceeding into the deep sea for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a Sea Trench appeared in the sight of the two.
Within the Sea Trench, there was actually a huge light cover, like an Undersea World.
Many High-Level Cultivators were stationed around it, all of them wearing white clothes and golden masks, with the lowest Cultivation Level being the Golden Core Stage.
Qin Ming couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the Teleportation Array to the Outer Sea to be hidden so deep."
"Heh heh! That's natural. Ordinary people are not qualified to use the formations here," Li Qian Jie explained.
While speaking, the two transformed into two Spirit Lights and Fell Upon the Sea Trench.
The Horizon Ocean Pavilion leader in charge of guarding the Formation here was an Early-Nascent Soul Stage old man.
He sensed two Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivators arriving together, and also revealed a look of Vigilance.
When they approached, the old man seemed to recognize Li Qian Jie, and immediately hurried over to greet him:
"So it's Fellow Daoist Li, are you returning to the Outer Sea?"
"We are also preparing to evacuate within the next few days."
"And this Fellow Daoist is?"
Li Qian Jie was arrogant, not even looking at him, "Elder Yuan, quickly arrange Teleportation for the two of us."
"This is Perfected Person Wangyue, Fellow Daoist Qin, from the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World."
The Elder Yuan, as a cultivator of the largest faction in the Outer Sea, was ordered around by Li Qian Jie like this, but he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
After all, Strength speaks everywhere.
This Rogue Cultivator Li Qian Jie in the Late Nascent Soul Stage acted without any scruples, and this person was also notoriously fierce in the Outer Sea. Except for Deity Transformation Honored Ones, no one could control him.
Therefore, his style of doing things was also very arbitrary.
"Oh, so it's Daoist Friend Qin, I have long heard of your great name."
"Yes, yes, yes, This Old Man will arrange it for the two of you right away."
Immediately after.
Elder Yuan led the two to the Grand Formation hidden in the Sea Trench.
Qin Ming and the other paid a considerable amount of High-Grade Spirit Stone as Teleportation Fee.
Then they took out the Meteorite Iron Token and stood in the center of the Formation together.
Before long.
The Horizon Ocean Pavilion cultivators quickly filled the Super-Distance Teleportation Formation with Spirit Stone.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the light of the huge Formation lit up, countless Runes swam, and the eight-cornered Formation lights connected together.
From above the sky, a beam of golden light fell straight down, instantly submerging the two in the center of the Formation.
A Space-Time Force suddenly descended on the two of them.
In the next moment, as the light converged, Qin Ming and the other were Teleportation away.
For a long Time.
Elder Yuan stared at the empty Grand Formation, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I didn't expect another Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator to emerge from the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World…"
"And to actually be walking together with a Fiend Star like Li Qian Jie."
"Looking at Li Qian Jie's attitude towards this person, it seems like he is even trying to please and flatter him, it's really rare…"
Outer Sea.
Nameless Sea Territory, inside a Nameless Island.
A golden light beam Fell Upon from the horizon and submerged into it.
Qin Ming only felt a trance before his eyes. When he Opened Eyes again, he was already standing in a Formation.
Such a Long-Distance Teleportation was enough to span the Five Great Cultivation Worlds, but he did not feel much discomfort.
After all, both his Spirit Soul strength and Physical Body strength had reached an unbelievable level.
On the other hand, Li Qian Jie adjusted his breathing in place for a few moments before he recovered.
He also revealed a trace of surprise when he looked at Qin Ming.
Li Qian Jie had traveled back and forth to the Outer Sea several times, and was very clear that traversing such a long distance of Void, even for a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator, would cause some reaction.
But unexpectedly, Qin Ming was like a person who had nothing to do, with a calm and indifferent expression.
He became deeply wary of his Strength again.
The moment Qin Ming arrived here, his expression was also quite surprised, because the Spirit Qi Environment here was extremely rich, completely incomparable to the East Sea Cultivation World.
It was as if he had come to a new world.
Even the Black Reef Island he was currently standing on was a Fourth Rank top-tier Spirit Vein.
"Welcome two Seniors to the Outer Sea!"
The cultivators guarding the Formation, seeing two Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivators appear at the same time, also carefully welcomed them.
"Daoist Friend Qin, let's go."
"This Seat will first take you to familiarize yourself with the situation here," Li Qian Jie gestured to Qin Ming with an inviting hand.
However, when Qin Ming followed the other party out of the Island's interior and came outside.
He was surprised to find that the boundless sea surface outside was pitch black, dim and dark, accompanied by flashes of lightning, and the surging waves seemed to swallow people.
Many monster beasts with fierce auras lurked within.
From time to time, monstrous waves were set off, reaching dozens of zhang, hundreds of zhang, not to mention sailing on the sea.
"I didn't expect the Spirit Qi Environment of the Outer Sea to be so rich, yet it has also nurtured many powerful monster beasts," Qin Ming said, gazing into the distance.
Li Qian Jie smiled and said, "This Outer Sea Storm lasts for Several Decades. Daoist Friend Qin will get used to it. The monster beasts here are just the tip of the iceberg."
Subsequently.
Li Qian Jie led Qin Ming to Fly Away from this place.
Several days later.
A huge Archipelago, scattered like stars, constantly expanded in the sight of the two.
As the two approached, the Spirit Qi around them also gradually became richer.
The largest Island stood proudly among them, with dense Structures, which was completely different from the style of the East Sea.
From a distance, Qin Ming saw the four large characters 'Horizon Ocean Pavilion' on a huge stone tablet on the edge of the Island.
"Daoist Friend Qin, this Island is the location of the Horizon Ocean Pavilion, the largest Faction in the Outer Sea. After we go inside for a little rest, we will then plan to go to Dragon Bone Reef to obtain the Heart-Questioning Fruit," Li Qian Jie introduced to Qin Ming.
"The resource Exchange center of the Outer Sea is also within the Archipelago. Daoist Friend Qin can also take advantage of this rare opportunity to search for needed items."
A moment later.
Qin Ming and the other Fell Upon the Island. They both had Horizon Ocean Pavilion's Meteorite Iron Token, and entry and exit were unimpeded.
This was the privilege brought by the Identity of a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator.
The huge Island where the Horizon Ocean Pavilion was located had continuous Mountain Ranges, and the Spirit Vein Environment was also distributed in a stepped manner.
On its Core Mountain Range, there was a Fifth Tier Spirit Vein.
If this were in the Five Great Cultivation Worlds, it would already be equivalent to the Inheritance Land of Deity Transformation Sects.
After entering the Island.
The two found a refined and elegant restaurant to sit down and ordered a few special dishes and Spirit Wine.
"Heh heh! Daoist Friend Qin is also curious, right? Why is the Spirit Qi Environment of the Outer Sea so superior?" Li Qian Jie poured him a glass of Spirit Wine and asked.
Qin Ming replied, "Indeed."
"It is Said that during the Ancient Times when the Demon Realm invaded, Demonic Qi Pollution was released to pollute the Human Realm. This Outer Sea area was the only one that was spared. Therefore, the Spirit Qi did not decline so severely, and it was able to maintain such a rich Spirit Qi Environment, and many resources have also been passed down to this day," Li Qian Jie explained.
"So that's how it is."
But on the way here, Qin Ming discovered a phenomenon.
That is, the number of monster beasts in the Outer Sea was actually more than dozens of times greater than that of Human Race cultivators.
Only the Archipelago where the Horizon Ocean Pavilion was located formed a Human Race gathering place.
So he voiced the doubts in his heart.
"Just as mentioned just now, Daoist Friend Qin, do you know why the Outer Sea was able to be preserved intact when the Ancient Demon Realm invaded the Human Realm?" Li Qian Jie put down his Spirit Wine cup and asked in return.
"Why?"
"Heh heh! Because It is Said that in the Ancient Times at the same Time, the Ancient Monster Realm also invaded the Human Realm, taking the lead in occupying the Outer Sea. But before the Demon Clan could release Heavenly Demon Qi to pollute this realm, it suddenly had no follow-up…"
"In the following tens of thousands of years, the Outer Sea became a world isolated from everything, completely severing contact with the Five Great Cultivation Worlds."
"The Outer Sea has also become a territory occupied by the Demon Clan."
"The Human Race is only eking out an existence in the cracks of the Demon Clan, but later, with the addition of many cultivators who came to seek Fortuitous Encounters and adventures, it gradually grew stronger, forming the current scale."
"Today's Outer Sea, the Human Race is still weak, in a disadvantaged position."
"In addition to this, Li can also reveal a piece of news to Daoist Friend Qin."
Qin Ming asked in confusion, "What news?"
"Thousands of years ago, the Ancestor who founded the Li Fire Palace of the Great Jin Cultivation World, after his Cultivation Level reached Core Formation Perfection Stage, came to the Outer Sea to seek Spirit Transformation Opportunity."
"So many years have passed, and some time ago when Li returned to the East Sea, I specifically inquired about it. This person's Life-Bound Soul Lamp in the Li Fire Palace is still not extinguished."
"This shows that this person has most likely found a Fortuitous Encounter, and presumably has secretly succeeded in breaking through to Spirit Transformation, hehehehe!"
"It's just that I don't know why this person has not shown up and has not returned to the Sect."
