Chapter 8 Asuka Peak
Xi'er and the High Priest left No. 37 Redstone Bay.
The high priest was naturally better at determining directions than the ordinary people. He spent three whole years drawing a map showing the changing positions of the celestial body and the moon from the beginning to the end of the month.
This was used to determine the detailed coordinates of the Great Abyss Sea.
With this map, he can correct his mistakes every day and reach the Great Abyss Sea in the shortest time.
However, the distance between Red Stone Bay and Dayuan Sea cannot be determined from the corresponding position on the star map.
Moreover, the spiritual energy here is too thin. Unless they find enough energy to replenish themselves along the way, the high priest's travel speed will not be much faster than that of ordinary people.
"I'm sorry, young master. This old servant is incompetent, causing you to be unable to reach the Great Abyss Sea and reunite with the lady as soon as possible." The high priest looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and said with a face full of guilt.
“It’s not your fault! Besides, I brought enough food with me. If we eat our fill and walk a bit each day, we’ll eventually make it,” Xi’er reassured him.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Ling, why did you tell those people that I am Goddess Bai Xi?" Xi'er asked curiously.
"To the people, the messenger of the gods is high above and inviolable."
By creating the identity of a divine messenger for you, it becomes easier to gain their power of faith.
Of course, if you don't help them purify their water source, they are unlikely to willingly dedicate their faith.
This is all thanks to you.
"As for the name Bai Xi, I heard your relatives and friends call you Xi'er, and since your father's surname is Bai, I took the liberty of giving you the name Bai Xi," the High Priest explained.
He has been in the Misty Heaven for a long time and has some understanding of human customs.
For example, when humans are given a name, the father's surname is usually placed before the name.
"Pfft, hahaha! Grandpa Zero, you've got it wrong. My dad's full name is Modi Landun. Landun is his family name, and Xiaobai is the nickname my mom gave him."
As for my name, after I was born, my parents named me Zuo Xi. My mother's earliest name was Zuo Shan, and 'Zuo' was her father's surname.
My brother and I both took our mother's surname, Zuo, because in their Holy Witch tribe, women have a higher status, and it is usually men who marry women.
"But Bai Xi is a very nice name, I like it quite a bit." Xi'er explained with a smile.
The high priest was confused by her explanation; for the demon race, who had no surname or given name, it was far too complicated.
However, now that the direction had been determined, Xi'er was not in a hurry and planned to travel slowly with the High Priest.
Along the way, when we encountered small puddles like No. 37 Hongshiwan, we would go over and help purify them, and in the process, we would gain a wave of faith power.
Soon, the name of Goddess Bai Xi slowly spread in the outskirts of the area.

Meanwhile, Achen and the three strange beasts went in four different directions to search for the person.
Long Batian was lucky; two hours later, he found Mina and Matt, who were unconscious.
When space collapsed, Mina released a tornado in an attempt to pull Achen and Xi'er into the eye of the storm and protect them from harm.
Unfortunately, the speed of the spatial collapse was too fast and the impact was too strong. Her tornado failed to take shape and was cut into fragments by the spatial gale.
Because she neglected her own defenses, she suffered countless cuts and injuries, lost too much blood, and fell into a deep coma.
Her presence was faint, so Ah Chen and the others couldn't sense her location.
Matt had the same idea as Mina at the time; he released his mental net in an attempt to protect the two children, but it also failed.
Overusing his mental energy has caused him to become mentally exhausted, leaving him in a coma from which he will not wake up for some time.
The advantage was that his mental net enveloped him the moment it was spread out, so his physical injuries were relatively minor; he was only pierced in the back by sharp rocks when he fell among them.
When Long Batian found the two men, they were not far apart.
This was also because they shared the same goal at the time, and were driven by their instinct to protect the young master and young lady, rushing towards them.
Therefore, they ended up bumping into each other.
Long Batian spotted his target and roared to the sky.
In this almost spiritless place, the roars of the demonic beasts actually travel quite far, making them the most convenient way to call for companions.
After Achen, Xiaobao, and Fathead Fish arrived at his place, they first took out top-grade healing and hemostatic medicines and fed them to Mina.
Then he fed Matt two bottles of high-level mental energy recovery potions, all made by Physician Bo, the kind that work instantly.
Ah Chen was pleasantly surprised to find the two people.
However, his sister and Nie Xiaoxiao were still nowhere to be found, and after the initial surprise, he was plunged into deep worry.
His anxiety deepened as the communication jade slip remained unusable.
But now that he had found Mina and Matt nearby, he decided to stay on the mountain for the time being.
The mountain peak is very high and steep, and from a distance it looks a bit like the wing of a bird, so he casually gave it the name "Flying Bird Peak".
The place was almost devoid of spiritual energy, so he dared not use his spiritual power casually.
Using only his divine sense, the images he saw were very blurry, so he could only divide the area within a five-mile radius of Flying Bird Peak into different regions and then search in each region separately.
As the setting sun cast its last rays upon Feiniao Peak, Achen was utterly exhausted.
At this moment, he began to envy the powerful physical form of the beastmen. He decided to stay by the side of the two seriously injured people tomorrow, while his three companions went to search for the missing people in person.
The temperature difference between day and night at Feibiao Peak is extreme. When night falls, Long Batian transforms into his true form and encircles everyone with his tail.
The body of the bighead carp is cool in all seasons, making it unsuitable as a heater.
Even Xiao Bao's internal organs have become metallic, making it even less suitable to hold him while he sleeps.
In contrast, although the two-headed lizard is covered in scales, the gaps between the huge scales continuously emit warmth, regulating its body temperature.
Ah Chen quickly fell asleep.
In his dream, he and Xi'er sat around a round table. His mother had prepared a large feast, and his father fawned over his mother, massaging her shoulders and back.
She even said with a self-reproachful look, "Fan, it's all my fault for having such poor cooking skills, otherwise you wouldn't have to be bothered by the fumes."
Then his gaze swept coldly over him, and he continued to smile and say, "I think Ah Chen has a good talent for cooking. You should teach him more in the future."
Our son is quite intelligent; he'll definitely surpass us, and then you won't have to work so hard.
A-Chen, an innocent bystander, said: "Dad, why do you insist that your son do what you can't do? If the rooster can't fly, does that mean his son, the little rooster, can?"
