The two adepts sharing his quarters laughed at Feng Jun's question. They already knew that Fellow Daoist Shi was visiting the Endless Sea for the first time, so there was no mockery in their smiles; they simply found it amusing.
Adept Han, a Mid Emergence from Dust cultivator, replied, "Bloodmist Island used to be Heavenly Balance Island. It fell more than two hundred years ago. Over fifty years ago, the locals invited a Nascent Soul True Immortal to act, retook the island, and renamed it Bloodmist Island."
"So it was Heavenly Balance Island." Feng Jun nodded. He knew of the island. It was one of the most famous forward bases in the depths of the Endless Sea, and several earth-shaking battles had taken place there.
He had also heard about the fall of Heavenly Balance Island. Rumor had it that only two Emergence from Dust Adepts and seven or eight Qi Refining Stage cultivators had escaped through a teleportation array, all severely wounded. He had not expected the island to be reclaimed now.
