"So familiar!" Jiang Yun's soul was rising higher and higher, and finally he saw an extremely huge turtle below. On the thick turtle shell, there was a raised spike. The spike looked more and more familiar.
"Um?"
Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhang Miaomiao not far away, gazing at the stars in the sky and the dark, deep sea. Some cultivators, like him, had already fallen asleep on the beach. Some were still chatting excitedly.
Jiang Yun seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look at the hill behind him.
"This is?"
Although it was dark, the volcano in the middle of the island was still clearly visible to the eyes of a cultivator. The more Jiang Yun looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
"Turtle shell?"
He suddenly understood and looked at the ground beneath his feet. Was that dream real or fake? Or was it something else?
After becoming an immortal cultivator, he rarely dreamed. But everything that happened last night was incredibly clear. Jiang Yun began to sense everything in his body, especially his spirit. But after a long examination, Jiang Yun found nothing different, as if everything that had just happened was truly a dream.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun lay down again with peace of mind. Even if it was true, humans like him were just like ants in front of that mysterious monster. And according to what the other party said, this giant turtle had something to ask of him. What was he afraid of?
If it's fake, then there's even less to worry about. Jiang Yun stared at the starry sky. He wasn't asleep, but quietly taking in the night surrounding him, listening to the gentle swaying of the waves beside him. And the sight of the starry sky overhead. He felt incredibly at ease.
The next day, the cultivators who had rested overnight on the island returned to their spirit boats. Liu Hua marked the spot, preparing to use it as a resting place during the journey. Jiang Yun told no one about his dream the previous night. He watched the island slowly turn into a black dot. He secretly hoped that everything that had happened last night had actually happened.
The East Sea cultivation world discovered that a number of cultivators had found their way here since the great war between good and evil a thousand years ago. However, due to the immature routes at the time, more than half of the lower-level cultivators perished in the sea.
But after hundreds of years of exploration, more and more cultivators arrived here. This was one of the reasons why the cultivation world in Ronan remained relatively stable for thousands of years. Many cultivators who could not find opportunities in Ronan came here.
“We’re here! We’re here!”
When Jiang Yun and Zhang Miaomiao were taking a breath on the deck, they suddenly heard a cultivator next to them shouting happily.
Jiang Yun looked quickly and saw, indeed, a crescent-shaped island emerald green in the direction of the other party's shouting. On the island, there were also busy figures.
"We're finally here! This voyage has been almost four months!"
Liu Hua was also on the deck at this time. He and Cao Yi usually took turns controlling the spirit boat. Seeing this scene, he hurried back to the control room.
Soon, the spirit boat arrived at the dock of the island. What the monks just saw was the scene of mortals busy loading and unloading goods at the dock, and cargo ships preparing to leave.
"Please inform us of your origins when you come to the boat!"
After the spirit boat landed on the island, a figure flew out from the island. He landed on the dock, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, saying:
"Qingyun Sect!"
Liu Hua looked like he had been through all of this before. He spoke in a calm voice.
"So it's the seniors from Qingyun Sect. This is the archipelago map!"
After hearing this, the other party became more respectful. He then took out a white jade slip from his sleeve, threw it lightly, and it floated into the spirit boat.
Jiang Yun looked at the small island. It was roughly crescent-shaped, with the seawater halfway around it, forming a rather beautiful crescent lake.
In the middle of Crescent Lake, there was a tiny island reef. On it lay a simple, ancient cultivator's cave. Jiang Yun activated his magic power and sensed a faint spiritual energy in the air. While it couldn't compare to the energy surrounding Ronan's Immortal City, it was still enough for one or two Qi-refining cultivators to cultivate.
After receiving the jade slip, Liu Hua did not stay for too long. He quickly chose a direction and the spirit boat flew away in an instant.
The spiritual boat sailed for a short while, and in less than half an hour, Jiang Yun saw several small islands. This island looked uninhabited, but the buildings on the islands indicated that this place had already been occupied.
The spirit boat flew across the archipelago without stopping. On the island, a foundation-building cultivator sensed the spirit boat and flew into the air, watching it fly by.
"Being an island owner wouldn't be bad!" Jiang Yun looked at the small islands that kept passing by. He finally sighed that he had come to the right place.
Soon, several hours of rapid flight passed. He passed countless islands along the way. Finally, Jiang Yun saw a massive island before him. This island was far larger than all the islands he had just seen combined.
Although it is called an island, its entire size seems to be almost as big as a county in Ronan.
"Wow! What a huge island!"
Zhang Miaomiao had been looking at the islands one by one without stopping along the way, and now she finally saw this huge island.
"Yeah, it's huge!"
Jiang Yun sighed, and the spirit boat did not stop. It quickly flew to the island. When it was so close, it could not feel that it was a big island at all. Jiang Yun felt that it had docked on a new piece of land.
After the spirit boat entered the island, it flew inside for a while before arriving in front of a city. Jiang Yun looked at the city in front of him and for a moment thought he had returned to Ronan.
The city looked like it was made entirely of white building materials, with traces of damage left on it, indicating that a siege had once taken place there.
The three big characters on the city wall, Canghai City, made Jiang Yun remember its name. This was the first city he entered when he came to the East China Sea.
The spirit boat landed in the open space outside the city. The spirit boat's protective shield opened. Soon, two streams of light entered the city. These were the Jindan cultivators aboard the spirit boat. Jiang Yun and the other Qingyun Sect cultivators then disembarked.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Zhang. Hanhai City is the city of our Qingyun Sect. Why don't you two rest up there for a few days, find a map of the archipelago, and then head to your destination?"
Cao Yi then got off the spirit boat and said to Jiang Yun and Zhang Miaomiao who were standing in front of the city gate.
"Yeah, that's right. I just arrived here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I'd better get to know the place first."
Jiang Yun nodded and said, Zhang Miaomiao also nodded frequently. After sailing for several months, she was already eager to rest on land.
After the two of them finished talking, they followed Cao Yi and the monks from Qingyun Sect into the Canghai City.
