Caution

"Outer Sea Territory?"

Upon hearing him mention the Outer Sea Territory, Lu Zhenyan's expression turned slightly serious.

He glanced at Chen Nianzhi, then took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, the situation in the Outer Sea Cultivation World has deteriorated drastically."

"That place is teeming with demons. Many sea areas that once belonged to the Human Race have been occupied by demons. Even Nascent Soul True Lord would face considerable risks if he rashly ventured into the demons' territory."

"Moreover, the Outer Sea Territory are separated from the Near Sea by hundreds of millions of miles of open ocean, with almost no place to land in between. Even Nascent Soul True Lord's Law Power would find it difficult to sustain such a long journey."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi frowned. Putting aside the land area, the vastness of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World far surpasses that of the Eastern Wilderness.

Sometimes, the two Tier 5 Spirit Isle within this territory can be separated by tens of millions of miles of sea.

In particular, the open sea area between the outer sea and the Near Sea is large enough to contain several Three Rivers Ancient Region, and the Spiritual Qi there is extremely thin.

Such a vast distance is impossible for even Golden Core realm cultivator or Nascent Soul True Lord to cross directly.

In fact, even if a cultivator has enough Law Power to cross the mountain, it is still extremely dangerous, because the cultivator's Law Power will be greatly depleted, and they will not be able to find a suitable Spirit Mountain to settle on.

If a cultivator's Law Power is greatly depleted, they are very likely to be taken advantage of by demons.

In fact, the Golden Core realm of high-level cultivators are a great tonic for demons, and many demons roam the Vast Sea, waiting for an opportunity to kill Human Race cultivators.

Under such circumstances, attempting to travel long distances on a sword would likely be extremely dangerous.

After listening, Chen Nianzhi frowned and said, "Doesn't the Eastern Sea Cultivation World have any Teleportation Array?"

"Of course there are Teleportation Array," Lu Yanhe said, then added with a wry smile, "It's just that the distance between the Near Sea and the open sea is too great, even Tier 4- or Tier 5 Teleportation Array can't reach them."

"Only the legendary Tier 6 Teleportation Array can traverse such a long distance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi also showed a helpless expression. To refine Tier 6 Teleportation Array, one needs Void Gemstone of a grade as high as Tier 6.

The Tier 6 Void Gemstone is a Pure Yang- level treasure, a priceless treasure that is extremely rare in the entire Purple Yin Realm.

Legend has it that there is Tier 6 Teleportation Array in the Heaven's Edge Sea Pavilion, but that array is used to connect with the Dao Lord Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness and even the Central Ancestral Domain. Obviously, there is no corresponding Teleportation Array in the Near Sea Cultivation World.

As Lu Yanhe spoke, he sighed, "Even before the Abyssal Demon Calamity, there were several Tier 5 Upper Grade Spirit Vein, which were just enough to set up a high-grade Tier 5 Upper Grade Teleportation Array."

"But those Spirit Vein were either destroyed by Outer Realm Demons or fell into the hands of the Demon Race, so they can no longer be used with Teleportation Array."

Chen Nianzhi listened quietly, and after a long while, she couldn't help but ask, "Since even True Lord have difficulty crossing, how do you contact the Far Sea Cultivation World?"

"We used Demon Hunting Ship and War Treasure Ship."

Lu Yanhe spoke up, informing Chen Nianzhi that the Eastern Sea Cultivation World has a long-standing tradition of using high-level Demon Beast as dragon bones to forge Demon Hunting Ship.

The Tier 5 Demon Hunting Ship is made by using the bones of a demon emperor as its dragon bone and drawing on the endless water elemental power of the sea through an array to power it, enabling it to cross hundreds of millions of miles of sea to reach the other shore.

Moreover, the Demon Hunting Ship is equipped with Demon-Hunting Ballista and Demon-Slaying Cannon, making it an indispensable tool for hunting high-level Demon Beast.

Although the Teleportation Array is no longer available, cultivators from the Eastern Sea Cultivation World can still use the Treasure Ship to directly reach the Far Sea Cultivation World.

Lu Yanhe gave a brief introduction, then said, "Every so often, Treasure Ship will sail from the Near Sea to the Far Sea. You can take one of those Treasure Ship, which will greatly increase your safety."

"I see." Chen Nianzhi nodded, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "I must thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite." Lu Yanhe smiled, stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "I have important matters to attend to, so I cannot stay any longer. I hope you can make up your mind soon."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I will consider it carefully."

Chen Nianzhi cupped her hands in farewell to Lu Yanhe.

After he left, Jiang Linglong calmly said, "It's not easy for Human Race to survive in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World. We can help with the troubles on Nine Rivers Island."

"That's what I think too."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and then said, "However, we are new to this place and unfamiliar with the people and people. To avoid being deceived, we still need to be a little careful."

"Let me observe for a while before making a decision."

"Alright."

Jiang Linglong smiled slightly. Chen Nianzhi was upright and sharp-minded, but he was not a pedantic or naive person, which was one of the reasons she liked him.

"..."

Early the next morning, Chen Nianzhi left the cave and decided to find out about the situation on Nine Rivers Island.

After some investigation, the two learned about the basic situation of Nine Rivers Island, and the information was basically the same as what Lu Zhenyan had said.

The dominant force on Nine Rivers Island is called the Nine Rivers Sect. The island's lord, Nine Rivers True Lord, is over two thousand years old and is an old True Lord at the Third-Layer Nascent Soul realm.

This man, using his own Daoist name, founded the Nine Rivers Sect and joined the Eastern Sea Immortal Alliance, becoming an elder of the Eastern Sea Immortal Alliance.

He made a point of observing the lower-level cultivators and discovered that Nine Rivers True Lord had a fairly good reputation among them and had not left behind any bad name.

"It seems that this Nine Rivers True Lord is still trustworthy."

Chen Nianzhi walked on the Spirit Isle and spoke calmly to Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong nodded in agreement. With their combined combat strength and cultivation, they could go to most places in the world, except for a few dangerous ones, so they didn't need to worry too much.

As the two were talking, Chen Nianzhi suddenly frowned, looked into the distance, and then walked over.

"Grandpa, Grandpa."

In a corner of Nine Rivers Market, in front of a dilapidated courtyard, a gaunt old man lay on the ground, his face pale.

A little boy was clinging to the old man, crying and shaking him.

"Is he dead?"

The three monks sneered as they kicked the child aside, then glanced at the old man lying on the ground.

After searching around for a while, the group pulled a Storage Bag from the old man and handed it to the burly man at the head of the group.

"Big brother, so many Spirit Stone!"

The cultivator said excitedly, beaming with joy, "I heard that Old Man Ye earned a large sum of Spirit Stone as a reward for guiding a distinguished guest. It seems the news was indeed true."

"Little brat, your grandfather's lifespan has ended. We're collecting his body, so taking a few of his belongings as payment isn't unreasonable, is it?"

As he spoke, the man glanced at the child with a cold smile.

But the child's eyes were bloodshot with hatred as he said, "My grandfather didn't die of old age; he was killed by you."

"You bad people, give my grandfather's Spirit Stone back to me right now!"
