Half a month later, in Muyang City, at the Crane Tower.
"The ancients have departed with the white crane, leaving only the Immortal Crane Pavilion in this place."
Xiao Songjing shook the jade flute in his hand and said casually.
Xiao Songjing, who was originally born with a deficiency, is now getting better and better.
Because of his smooth progress in cultivation, he has gained an air of otherworldly grace, making him even more like True Lord Mingchuan.
Normally, Ah Jiang doesn't dare to speak loudly when he's around, which often makes Ah Jiang tease him on purpose.
"If you continue on, you'll reach Wuxia Gorge. Beyond Wuxia Gorge lies Phoenix City, the easternmost city of the human race. Beyond that, up to the coast of the East Sea, are inhabited by various demons and monsters, which are dangerous."
A-Jiang decided to take Xiao Songjing to see the sea first, and then return to Tianyu City.
However, she was a little scared of the places where the demon race was located, after all, she was only a Qi Refining cultivator.
Xiao Songjing continued, "Why don't we go to Yunmengze instead? I've heard that it's home to all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs, and there's a Jingyue Lake in the very center. It has a unique landscape, and there aren't any giant demons there. Going there would be a great choice for us."
Yunmengze is in the south, very far from the sea. By saying this, he was essentially giving up on his plan to go to the seaside.
"If we take a flying boat, we should be able to reach the shore of the East China Sea in seven days."
What was originally just a casual suggestion from Xiao Songjing has now become an obsession for A Jiang. No matter how difficult it is, she is determined to go and see it.
"Even traveling by airship isn't safe. There are winged creatures in the air, and even if we reach the coast, there are aquatic monsters there. The trip to the East Sea is indeed quite risky."
Xiao Songjing disagreed. After speaking, he looked out the window and imagined, "If we can live a little longer, we might be able to see the human race unify the nine continents and four seas. At that time, we will be able to go wherever we want."
"Oh, does this gentleman also believe that our human race can unify the world?"
A young man came over and struck up a conversation.
Xiao Songjing and A Jiang turned to look and saw a handsome young man in fine clothes, followed by a boy in blue clothes carrying two swords on his back.
Xiao Songjing glanced at the two of them and had a rough idea of their identities, while A Jiang looked at them once and then stopped looking, her face expressionless.
"I just hope that one day I can travel all over the beautiful country with my friends. What a joy that would be."
The young man approached and introduced himself, "I am Lin Fangyin from Divine Sword Valley. May I ask your name, sir?"
Xiao Songjing also stood up and said, "I am just a country bumpkin, surnamed Xiao, Xiao Songjing."
Ah Jiang gave a brief greeting and said nothing more.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Lin Fangyin didn't bother to talk to her to avoid making a fool of himself.
After the two introduced themselves and developed an interest in talking, Xiao Songjing invited him to sit down, served some more food and wine, and continued their conversation.
"Where are you two headed?" Lin Fangyin asked.
"I was just saying that the scenery in Yunmengze is beautiful, and I'd like to go there to take a look."
"I've also heard of Yunmeng Marsh, but this is my first time venturing down the mountain for training, and I haven't been there yet. Yunmeng Marsh is within the territory of the human race, so why did you express your feelings just now, Brother Xiao?"
This Divine Sword Valley is also a major sect of human cultivators, so Xiao Songjing didn't hide anything and said, "We originally planned to go to the East Sea, but the east is occupied by other races, so it's not easy for us to get there. So I suggested that we go to Yunmeng Marsh to see Jingyue Lake."
Lin Fangyin nodded and said, "Originally, it would have been most convenient to go downstream along the Lian River through the Wu Gorge, but outside Phoenix City is the territory of alien races, and there are many powerful demons to the east. Although the Dragon Clan has an alliance with the Human Clan, the constraints on the clan are not strict, and it is not safe to travel by water. However, if you really want to go to the East Sea, I suggest you go north."
