Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the black tide shrouding heaven and earth began to slowly recede.
Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged as he kept his eyes closed and continued cultivating.
The reason was simple: any existence capable of stirring up a black tide of such magnitude was beyond what a Nascent Soul True Lord could afford to provoke.
Moreover, Chen Beiwu's destination was Other Shore Island, not the mysterious, unknown, terrifying existence with its appalling aura within the black tide.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, someone knocked. Chen Beiwu stirred his Divine Sense and saw Li Wanquan waiting respectfully outside.
"Come in."
As soon as Chen Beiwu spoke, the door opened, and Li Wanquan walked inside.
"Immortal Master Chen, the black tide has receded. We're now roughly a thousand li from Youyun Island."
Li Wanquan took out a nautical chart without prompting and reported, "The route southeast of Youyun Island leads to Other Shore Island, but Martial Ancestor Pojun, Bai Qi, and the Great Qian Sea-Suppressing Imperial Guard are stationed there. They prohibit all ships not officially affiliated with Great Qian from passing through. I can only take you as far as Youyun Island, Immortal Master."
"That will suffice." Chen Beiwu did not press him.
Hearing this, Li Wanquan inwardly sighed with relief and began to take his leave.
Just then, Chen Beiwu willed it, and Golden Egg's three pairs of dragon eyes shone.
Li Wanquan froze where he stood. His head felt muddled, as though filled with paste, and he unconsciously walked out of the room.
A long time later, Li Wanquan suddenly came to his senses. Looking at the packed cargo hold behind him, he realized he had actually dozed off while taking inventory. "I nearly forgot something important!"
Li Wanquan's heart tightened.
