Traffic Hub
Qin Yi did not go directly to venture into the open sea.
From the Palace Master's words, we can conclude that you can't get through without reaching the Formless Realm. It's best not to wander in recklessly out of curiosity; that place is not friendly, and not everyone can be easily sent back.
Some were trapped in the chaotic formation for a hundred years before finally escaping, while others disappeared within it without a trace.
The Penglai Sword Pavilion is located in the East Sea. It gathers the strength of a sect and is familiar with the environment. Even they wouldn't dare to trespass there. Qin Yi obviously doesn't have that kind of ability.
The original plan is still the most reliable: first, go through the distorted space around the "door" Land of Chaos to reach the other side. Then, check from the other side to see if there's any difference in going to the middle of the sea. If all else fails, it wouldn't be a problem to train on the other side for a few years first.
The training in Shenzhou has already encountered obstacles. First, it's no longer possible to run around freely under the nose of the Witch God Sect. Second, due to the entanglements with the sect and Wu Xian, it's risky to act rashly for fear of causing trouble for them. Moving to a place where no one knows them would allow them to play freely.
Besides, the Palace Master is right; there's practically no good fortune left in the Divine Continent, as it's been blatantly interfered with by human intervention. Perhaps things would be different elsewhere?
The more Qin Yi thought about it, the more he felt that every word the Palace Master said was urging him to leave.
Then let's leave.
Others want to get through but can't.
The upgraded airship was indeed fast enough, and soon it traversed the north and south of China, heading straight for the Land of Chaos.
The Red Rock Land remains deserted. No one has discovered anything unusual about it.
The entrance to the cave was concealed, and the passages inside were filled with arrays and traps that they had set up themselves, without any signs of being touched.
However, the Ghost Cry Vine covered the cave walls and stretched for more than ten miles through the passage. It was incredibly thick and had a sinister, ghostly appearance, making the place feel as terrifying as a demon's lair.
The Ghost Cry Vine has reached the Sun-level... which shows how nourishing the Spiritual Qi is here.
The gluttonous beast drooled.
The Ghost Cry Vine shrank back in fear.
Qin Yi slammed his fist into the Taotie's head with a "thud" and stuffed the ring into his hand. Damn it, you want to eat everything! You even ate the vines I use to guard the gate!
"This Ghost Cry Vine is of excellent quality..."
"Alright, we have different tastes," Qin Yi said casually. "Hey, maybe there'll be a female Taotie on the other side of the sea. Want to breed with her?"
"There's only one Taotie in the world." Taotie rolled its eyes. "I'm not like those dragons and phoenixes, with a whole bunch of them."
"Hmm..." Though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Qin Yi paused slightly and asked, "Could there be Dragon Clan in the middle of the sea? A divine dragon dies and transforms into a peak; perhaps it has offspring?"
Taotie shook its head, indicating it didn't know. Liusu said, "If they exist, they'd probably be a very powerful race, at least at the Huiyang level. If that's the case, their overall numbers would be relatively small."
Different worlds have different legends about what lies in the deepest parts of the ocean, and Qin Yi simply couldn't imagine what that world was like. He didn't even know if the people on the other side of the sea were blond and blue-eyed...
If that's the case, then the style seems too out of place, and it's not really a problem with his grades being unsatisfactory... It's best not to.
Lost in thought, he walked in, reinforcing all the formations along the way. By the time he reached the main room, the outer formations and restrictions had been upgraded to a higher level.
Liusu laughed and said, "You've already taken the door with you, and you're still being so cautious."
"No." Qin Yi sighed. "This place is actually the place where I've stayed the longest in this world. I have an emotional attachment to it. If I get tired in the future and want to retire or do something else, it will most likely be here."
Liusu didn't have that thought in mind. She simply said, "That's fine. Anyway, there's a distorted space here, which is a well-connected hub. No matter what happens, using this place as a base is a better option."
Qin Yi smiled, not bothering to discuss these matters with Liusu, and walked to the original spot where the stone pier had been placed.
There was a faint vortex at that location, and the feeling of time and space being distorted and chaotic was very clear.
My senior Senior Sister left through here.
Taotie looked at the distortion, circled around it, and suddenly laughed, "This place is very interesting... the strong point of collapse of the Door of Myriad Mysteries."
Qin Yi said, "Dog, you're so eager for Spirit Stone, why haven't you shown any greed for the stone block in the ring?"
"I'm not sick, why would I take the Door of Myriad Mysteries?"
"Even if that is the Heavenly Dao, isn't devouring the heavens and the sun what you desire?"
"Um... I don't know how to explain this to you... Anyway, I eat everything, but I can't eat that stuff."
Qin Yi nodded, said nothing more, and reached out to touch the center of the vortex.
This passage can only be used by those at the Qian Yuan level; those lacking sufficient strength will inevitably fall into spacetime chaos and perish. But Qin Yi can use it...
Because what is needed is not the hard power of cultivation, but the cognition of the Qian Yuan Level, which is enough to Unraveling the Cocoon the intricacies of the disordered passage and accurately pass through without getting trapped in the distorted spacetime.
With the Liusu, this is not a problem at all.
Qin Yi suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had gone on an adventure alone with Liusu...
Although there are Taotie by my side this time, it seems a little different. If the dog is a pet, then it's still just me and Liusu.
Liusu seemed to have thought of this as well, smiled slightly, and said nothing, only saying, "Divine Sense to the right, there's a tangled mess of space there, do you see it?"
"Hmm. And then?"
"Once you step into the vortex, you'll find that the tangled mess is actually quite large, with each path representing a road, a complex web of intertwined routes. I'll project my soul power onto one of them, and you step into it," Liusu warned. "Be careful not to touch any of the others; if you do, you'll be torn apart, and no one can save you."
"Knew."
Qin Yi carefully entered the vortex and soon saw twists and turns all around, like various lights and shadows running wildly and intertwining in a science fiction movie.
Avoiding other paths isn't difficult; there are many options. But finding the right path without making a mistake is incredibly difficult.
The Liusu's shadow was projected onto one of the yellow lines of light.
Qin Yi took a deep breath and stepped onto it.
Suddenly, everything spun around, as if time was reversed, space was shifting, stars were moving, and the world was turning, leaving one wondering when the day would end.
Qin Yi seemed to be able to see many strange and wonderful scenes inside: the past, the future, this place, the other shore, the sky, the seabed, this world, and the netherworld.
Disorganized and chaotic.
He even saw a scene where he was holding the newly formed Liusu in the cave abode of Transient Peak. At that time, he thought it was gone and was so scared that he almost lost his soul.
Actually, these days, Liusu has been speaking less and less. Besides the fact that it's been focusing on healing and recovery, and doesn't like to talk much, the real reason is, of course, that it's always surrounded by all sorts of people and things, leaving it with very few opportunities to interject...
And... most of the time, it's not needed, and sometimes even the Taotie is more convenient to use.
It doesn't need to say anything or do anything; it just needs to be a bystander.
However, looking back, no matter how the people around me change, it will always be there.
Having it is the source of peace of mind and the confidence to go anywhere.
"Go this way, don't go the wrong way, there's a problem over there."
"Good."
"A little more to the left."
"Good."
Within the distorted and chaotic spacetime tunnel, I lost track of how long I had walked and how far I had gone. Suddenly, a halo of blazing sunlight appeared ahead, as if it were the exit.
Qin Yi watched from afar and suddenly said, "Great job!"
"Um?"
"Talk to each other more often in the future."
"... I need to cultivate myself; why would I have so much to say to you?"
"I enjoy listening to you talk."
Liusu paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Aren't you always blaming me for encouraging you to do bad things?"
Qin Yi retorted, his neck stiff, "Whether you encourage me or not is your business, whether I listen to you or not is mine."
"Ha..." Liusu finally said, "Is it because you're all alone now and feeling lonely that you think of me?"
Qin Yi quickly said, "No, no... I just felt that you've become increasingly silent these days, and I was afraid you'd be bottling it up."
"Really not?" Liusu said disdainfully, "Now you can't talk to anyone even if you want to, can you?"
Taotie hesitated before raising his hand.
Liusu pressed it down, flattening it, and stepped on it with a smile, "But since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly say a few more words."
