A Bao had calculated everything, thinking he could rely on his glib tongue to fool the half-grown child in front of him.

He even secretly released over a hundred insects to transmit information outwards.

Unexpectedly, everything was within Jing Qian's control.

He kicked the corpse in front of him into the sea, attracting several sea fish that completely devoured it, before continuing to sail the boat.

The journey to HunZhou Island was now less than five days. He slowed the boat's speed, making it look like an ordinary vessel.

Immediately after, he entered the Void Realm, unloaded the treasures on his person, and changed into the clothes left behind by Jing Qian.

His entire demeanor changed, transforming into a frail young boy.

Jing Qian steered the boat for another day and night, and the scenery in front of him instantly changed dramatically!

He saw that on the clear blue sea surface, there was a muddy suspended river, ignoring all physical rules, rising majestically from the sea surface.

It was as if a turbid current had flowed down from the sky, completely out of place with the blue sea.

This muddy suspended river was six hundred sixty-six feet six inches six fen wide, extending forward, with no end in sight.

Jing Qian looked into the distance and saw that there were already boats sailing on the suspended river.

This Muddy River was the only way to HunZhou Island, created by a cultivator of great power who planted a seventh-grade Dharma Idol in the sea.

The dilapidated black-awning boat did not slow down, sailing towards the Muddy River until it leaped onto it, slowly rising along the Muddy River.

And Jing Qian relaxed his control over the small boat, allowing the power of the Muddy River to carry him upstream.

Afterward, he returned to the cabin, continued to practice the Subduing Dragon stance, and began to rest while nourishing his body with vital energy.

For the next three days, he wouldn't need to steer the boat; the power of the Muddy River would automatically transport him to HunZhou Island.

When he first heard of the existence of this suspended river, Jing Qian couldn't believe that such a mighty force existed in the world!

But when he saw this never-ending, fully automatic transport belt with his own eyes, he could only marvel!

He couldn't help but develop a strong yearning for cultivation!

Jing Qian stood at the bottom of the cabin, not idle for a moment.

While deducing the various possibilities after landing on the island, he also wove four threads together, attempting to weave a unique knot.

His Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution was the core of his inheritance, directly pointing to the Soul Manipulating Demon Spider Dharma Idol, and was also a proper path of cultivation extending from Lifeform Destiny to Lifeform Dharma Idol.

With the Sumeru Destiny Constitution, which was of the Golden Root level, Jing Qian had a bright future.

His actual cultivation potential was far beyond that of cultivators who primarily cultivated the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution.

He always had to try to find an inheritance method that matched Sumeru before deciding on his cultivation direction in the Dragon Elephant realm.

However, this did not affect the cultivation of the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution, using it as a source to enhance his own strength.

The knot Jing Qian was weaving was an extremely complex talisman seal, composed of tens of thousands of branch structures.

His divine sense and magical power skillfully shuttled between the four threads. Each thread was an extension of his will, weaving according to his thoughts.

He seemed to be playing a silent piece of music, every movement precise and accurate, revealing a deep understanding of this talisman seal.

This was the result of his research over the past month!

As the sun set and the moon rose, the small boat had ascended to an altitude of a thousand meters.

And Jing Qian finally completed the weaving of this talisman seal!

The entire process took nearly seven hours!

As soon as the talisman seal was formed, a massive amount of essence immediately converged upon it. In an instant, it wrapped around the talisman seal and rushed into Jing Qian's sea of consciousness.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution surged forward and perfectly received this talisman seal.

Then, the talisman seal disappeared, and the essence that came with it instantly solidified, becoming a White Fang Destiny Essence!

At the same time, his cultivation of Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits also increased.

This Destiny Essence instantly replenished Jing Qian's depleted magic power and also pushed his Destiny Essence cultivation up by a sliver.

This Essence Extraction Art was finally mastered by him!

The combination of Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits and Seal Talisman Art was the complete foundation for cultivation!

Every successful weaving of a talisman seal, in addition to quickly replenishing magic power consumption, was an opportunity for cultivation advancement!

Moreover, with the increase in the number of threads and weaving experience, he could significantly reduce the time for each weaving and simplify the structure of the talisman seal.

The Morning and Evening Destiny Breaking Scripture records that a senior once compressed the execution time of this Seal Talisman Art to within a quarter of an hour, and the structure of the talisman seal was also simplified by more than sixty percent.

The efficiency of this cultivation was undoubtedly dozens of times that of Jing Qian's talisman seals!

His potential for upward advancement was still quite vast!

Jing Qian was extremely satisfied with this. He finally had a method to replenish Destiny Essence and improve his cultivation besides soul-slaying.

And he gained a little more reverence for the cultivation methods of this world.

The world of cultivation that was revealed before him bit by bit could be described as extremely rich and fulfilling.

After completing this crucial cultivation, he glanced at his Destiny Stele:

Host: Jing Qian Lifespan: 150 years Destiny Essence: 13.14 (White Fang) Destiny Constitution: Sumeru (Golden Root), Tide (Blue Blood 1.3/10), Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits (Azure Wing) Destiny Arts: Dragon Travel Technique, Seal Talisman Art Destiny Forging Opportunity: 4

His Destiny Constitutions and Destiny Essence were enough to make him surpass most rogue cultivators.

He was ready to face new challenges!

After two more days of sailing on the Muddy River, Jing Qian walked out of the cabin.

The long-awaited HunZhou Island finally revealed its form.

At the end of the Muddy River, a majestic peak stood tall, reaching three thousand zhang!

And before Jing Qian, the part of this peak below a thousand zhang had been trimmed in a circle along the vertical direction by someone using great magical power.

Facing the sea was a thousand-zhang cliff as smooth as a mirror, extending left and right to the edge of sight.

For mortals, this was clearly a dead end where one couldn't come down if they went up, and couldn't go up if they came down!

The only way to enter and exit this large island was to go upstream along the Muddy River until the underground dock at the end.

The water of the Muddy River could be seen deeply entering a cave on this cliff, passing into the belly of the large island.

There, a huge dock had been built inside the cave.

And after passing through the dock and walking along the underground passage for thirty li until reaching the surface, that was where the true HunZhou Island was located.

Jing Qian learned from A Bao that the HunZhou Island before him was the only sixth-grade Destiny Island in the entire Hun Zhou that had lit the Purple Destiny Furnace.

The land area of the island was a million square kilometers, inhabited by tens of millions of people, making it the political, economic, and cultivation center of the entire Hun Zhou.

Compared to it, Crimson Pearl Island, which had just lit the Azure Burning Stove, was as tender as a chick.

Jing Qian stood at the bow of the ship, entering the cave with anticipation.
