“That’s…”
Su Qin touched his chin, his eyes flashing with ponder.
Just now, Su Qin faintly felt that above the Eastern Sea, an ancient aura flashed by.
The aura was vast, it was not a living thing, but it was real. If it weren’t for Su Qin’s [Celestial Eyes] that could feel the many Internal Qi’s in the world, plus opening the [Eyes of Truth] momentarily, I’m afraid he would’ve ignored this aura.
“Is it related to the recovery of vitality?”
Su Qin’s face had a thoughtful expression.
Before the ancient aura above the Eastern Sea appeared, the wave of vitality between Heaven and Earth had skyrocketed.
Su Qin guessed that it was precisely because of the surge of vitality that caused the aura to appear.
“Interesting.”
“It looks like I have to go to the Eastern Sea.”
Su Qin’s thoughts fluctuated, and he thought of it silently.
At Su Qin’s current level, apart from crossing the Great Arhat bottleneck, all he needed to do was to find a sufficient Sign In location, where there was a lot of Dao Accumulation.
The aura above the Eastern Sea was extremely ancient. If Su Qin could find it, it will definitely be rewarding after Signing In.
There might even be a possibility of helping Su Qin breakthrough to the Great Arhat.
“Eastern Sea…”
Su Qin whispered to himself.
The Eastern Sea was not overseas, but it was instead a large sea territory close to the East side of the mainland. Since ancient times, there have been countless myths and legends about the Eastern Sea, such as the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and Eastern Sea Immortals.
Su Qin smiled at this. The so-called Immortals, in the eyes of Su Qin, were just powerful Martial Artists and not actually ‘Immortals.’
But then again, for the ordinary person, was there any difference between a Legend Realm Martial Artist or an Earth Immortal Martial Artist that can live for thousands of years to an actual Immortal?
Thinking of this, Su Qin stepped out and disappeared from the Underground Palace. He reappeared 1000 meters above Chang’an City.
The current Chang’an City had Ruan Qing and Yan Hai, which were both at the 3rd Heavenly Layer. Even if there was a strong enemy, they should be able to hold on for a while, enough for Su Qin to come back.
[Whoosh~]!
Su Qin then tore through the air and flew away in the direction of the Eastern Sea.
If it was a 1st or 2nd Heavenly Layer Legend, long-term flight will consume too much of their energy. But for a 7th Heavenly Layer Legend like Su Qin, not to mention that he had already condensed a Mini Domain, flying was just like an instinct to him.
It was as simple as eating food and drinking water.
Soon, in about less than an hour, Su Qin arrived at the Eastern Sea.
Also, this time was achieved when Su Qi was deliberately slowing down, otherwise he would have arrived much faster.
“So this is the Eastern Sea…”
Su Qin looked down at the vast ocean and muttered to himself.
The myths and legends about the Eastern Sea, not only mention the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, but also ten continents and three islands. There were Immortals living on it. God knows how many old Emperors would send people out to the sea to seek Immortals, in an attempt to live longer.
Unfortunately, no emperor was able to find what they were looking for.
It seemed that the so-called ten continents and three islands really only existed in the myths and legends.
“The ten continents and three islands… If they really do exist, it should be under the ruling of a Legend or even an Earth Immortal and there will definitely be some sort of a huge array hiding it. Ordinary mortals, no matter how many are seeking it, they would never find it.”
Su Qin strolled along the Eastern Sea and thought in his mind.
“This is troublesome…”
Su Qin felt it was a little tricky.
If the aura he felt really came from the rumored ten continents and three islands, since it was surrounded by a huge array, it would be difficult to locate it with Divine Sense alone.
“If Divine Sense doesn’t work, then how about the Mini Domain…”
Su Qin thought about it again and made a decision in his heart.
An Heaven and Earth array can avoid the detection of Divine Sense, but under the coverage of a Domain, it should become visible.
After all, what is a Domain?
In the Domain, Su Qin was the only master. He controls everything! So how can a trifling array stay hidden?
“However, if I really want to search through the Domain, I can’t just cover a hundred zhang…”
Su Qin’s thoughts turned quickly.
The area of a hundred zhang in his Domain was the strongest area that Su Qin could control. Within this, Su Qin can easily strip a Legend from the World’s Essence Qi and knock them back down to the 9 Grades.
But once his Domain spreads and increases scope, Su Qin’s grasp of the Domain will continue to decline.
For example, in a hundred zhang, Su Qin can sever the relationship between a 6th Heavenly Layer and the Heaven and Earth in one thought; but it would be difficult to achieve this if he were to expand his Domain to a thousand zhang.
Of course, Su Qin was only investigating through the Domain at the moment and he’s not dealing with an enemy, so there was no need to control the Domain too much.
“Then, I’ll expand the Domain to ten thousand zhang…”
Su Qin’s thoughts moved and his hundred zhang Domain continued to spread and expand.
If he insisted on using the hundred zhang Domain to search, with the vastness of the Eastern Sea, I’m afraid he won’t be able to find it until next year.
As for the ten thousand zhang Domain, it was already the limit of Su Qin’s grasp. Within this range, Su Qin could feel almost all the arrays in the world.
“Now, I only need to wait.”
Su Qin found a small island. He cut down a few old trees and made a raft. He sat on the raft and drifted about on the sea.
The sun was raging and for ordinary people, they would definitely feel the burn. Su Qin, on the other hand, only felt warm.
The raft kept floating, and the area searched by Su Qin’s Domain became larger and larger. In just a few days, he had already searched a small half of the Eastern Sea.
In the past few days, Su Qin did not Sign In. His daily Sign Ins were used by his incarnation in the Cave World.
“At this rate, it will be possible to search the entire Eastern Sea in two days at most.”
Su Qin laid on the raft, drifting with the flow, and thought.
In the past few days, he did not Cultivate. He just laid on the raft while looking at the endless sea and sky, it was very uncomfortable.
During this period of time, he encountered some Sea Beasts, but as soon as he revealed his aura, they usually avoided Su Qin.
Compared to humans, these beasts were more sensitive to danger.
“The recovery of vitality is getting more and more intense, even these Sea Beasts are beginning to give birth to spiritual wisdom.”
Su Qin looked at the blue sea and thought silently in his heart.
“The recovery of vitality is indeed a great opportunity for humans that only comes once in thousands of years, but it is not just humans that benefit from the recovery of vitality…”
Su Qin profoundly analyzed the bigger picture.
According to his guess, at most a few years later, as the vitality recovers further, there will definitely be beasts that would evolve to the legendary Monster Race.
{T/N: I might change Monster Race into Beast Race in the future depending on what they actually are}
“It seems that myths and legends are not completely fictitious after all…”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
The so-called Monster Race was recorded in many ancient books, but even though Su Qin had been a Legend for so many years, he had not seen any Monster Race.
It seems that the reason why Su Qin did not see them was because the environment did not allow them to exist.
But now, with the recovery of vitality, the environment has become richer, and the birth of the Monster Race will happen sooner or later.
While Su Qin was in his thoughts, a fishing boat slowly moved towards him.
Among those in the fishing boat was a young girl who had dark skin, exuding an exotic kind of beauty.
“Big Brother.”
“Come on, we will take you back.”
The girl moved towards Su Qin, waved and shouted.
From the girl’s point of view, Su Qin was a fisherman from another fishing boat that had sunk from a storm. Compelled by the circumstances, he made a raft and wanted to go back to land with this raft.
Therefore, the girl proposed to bring Su Qin back.
After all, danger lurks on every side of the sea. Even a fishing boat as big as hers was in danger of sinking, not to mention Su Qin’s small raft.
I’m afraid that a wave will slap it once and the raft will be gone.
Without the raft, Su Qin will fall into the belly of those Sea Beasts sooner or later, even if Su Qin does not drown.
“No need.”
Su Qin waved his hand and said something weird to the girl.
“No need?” The girl opened her eyes wide and couldn’t believe it.
“Aduo, since he wants to stay and feed himself to the Sea Beasts, let’s leave him alone.” A young man walked over and said.
“But, if we leave him, this person won’t be able to survive.” The face of the girl named Aduo, flashed with worry.
“Dad, let’s help him.” Aduo turned and looked towards a middle-aged man next to her.
“Help him?” The middle-aged man hesitated. Those of them whose livelihood depended on the sea, believe in Karmic Retribution. They will definitely save people if they can, but Su Qin refused to be saved by them.
“Let’s do this instead…”
“We follow him for half a day. According to the storm on the sea, at most half a day, his raft will be overturned.”
“By then, if he loses the raft, he will definitely come up.”
The middle-aged man considered both sides and said.
“Thank you Dad.” A smile appeared on the girl’s face.
“Sigh~…” The middle-aged man shook his head, “I hope in the future, if we are in trouble, someone will save us.”
During the next period of time, the fishing boat followed Su Qin from far away.
Su Qin naturally discovered this long ago, but he didn’t bother to care about it.
As long as they don’t disturb him, he won’t disturb them either.
Soon, a few hours had passed.
On the fishing boat, the middle-aged man looked more and more gloomy. Finally he seemed to have discovered something and his face turned pale as paper.
“Hurry up.”
“We will leave soon.”
The middle-aged man’s voice trembled.
“Dad, what’s the matter?” Aduo walked quickly to the middle-aged man, and asked confused: “Aren’t we saving him?”
The young man also walked over, he looked curious.
“Save him?”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: “It’s already God’s grace that we are still able to live till now.”
“What do you mean Dad?” The young man’s face changed.
“Look at it.”
The middle-aged man calmed down and suppressed the shock in his heart, he whispered, “Is there any trace of water on that raft?”
“And that… that Master… did he get wet by the sea water?”
The middle-aged man called Su Qin, ‘Master,’ showing great awe and respect.
The young man and the girl Aduo did not notice the change of the middle-aged man’s tone, though their complexions changed from his words.
“Indeed, this man is very clean…”
The young man muttered to himself, feeling incredible.
Even them, who were on a fishing boat, would be hit by the sea water. Su Qin and his raft on the other hand didn’t have any trace of sea water.
This was incredible!
“Also, ever since we followed the Master, have you ever seen a Sea Beast and waves?”
The middle-aged man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said while trembling.
When his words sounded, both the girl Aduo and the young man paled.
“Dad, do you mean…?” The girl Aduo looked at Su Qin, who was still lying on the raft in the distance, and inquired.
“This Master… I am afraid that he is not a fisherman who was in a shipwreck as we thought, but a real… a real Immortal!”
The middle-aged man thought for a while and whispered.
“Now let’s leave quickly, we absolutely can’t disturb the Immortal…”
The middle-aged man panicked.
“Okay.”
The girl Aduo and the young man also realized the seriousness of the matter. They looked at each other, and said immediately.
At this time, Su Qin’s eyes suddenly lit up on the raft
“Hahahaha!”
“I finally found you.”
The raft exploded and under the shocked gazes of everyone, Su Qin stepped into the air as if he was walking on an invisible ladder.
With the sun shining behind him, and in addition to Su Qin’s, he currently looked like an Immortal.
“That’s…”
Su Qin touched his chin, his eyes flashing with ponder.
Just now, Su Qin faintly felt that above the Eastern Sea, an ancient aura flashed by.
