"What is this place? The Blue Sea Water Realm?"
In the vast ocean, a tract of land several li across floated on the water. Ye'e Di Luosha and the others landed upon it, all astonished.
The instant they entered, they lost contact with Li Chen. Perhaps the opening of the Boundary Gate had caused a shift in space and time; some of their personal attendants had also been scattered, leaving only seventy or so people beside Ye'e Di Luosha.
These were all elite fighters, however. Without waiting for orders, they had already spread out to explore.
"There seem to be islands all around us, but we haven't found a mainland."
"There seems to be a World Barrier overhead. We can't fly high."
"The water here isn't deep. We hit the bottom after only a hundred-odd zhang!"
"Nothing suggests this is the Blue Sea Water Realm. It looks more like an artificially created Minor Grotto-Heaven." Ye'e Di Luosha's third aunt, Qina Luo, stepped forward and said evenly, "But our ancestors don't seem to have explored this place either. Let's go."
Ye'e Di Luosha came to her senses. "Wait. Grandmaster Artisan Li hasn't arrived yet. The situation is unclear, so we shouldn't act rashly."
Qina Luo said in disappointment, "Di Luosha, you really have fallen. Now that we're separated from that man, this is the perfect opportunity to shake him off and explore deeper inside. Instead of seizing it, you want to wait?"
Ye'e Di Luosha said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. But the dangers here are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Our ancestors lost troops and commanders every time they explored this place. Do you think you can reap its rewards so easily?"
Qina Luo's expression darkened. "It's still better than bowing and scraping before outsiders!"
