Affairs in the waters near Immortal-Severing Island were proceeding in an orderly fashion according to Qing Chen's arrangements.
Since sweeping through the Three Great Archipelagos, he had also been blocking news concerning Immortal-Severing Island, sometimes deliberately, sometimes not.
A hundred and sixty or seventy years had passed. The old affair of the Azure Wave Archipelago's several Golden Core Sects joining forces with the Three Corpse Demon Sect and Cold Mountain Temple to storm Immortal-Severing Island had long since become a stone sunk into the deep sea, without another whisper.
Even the name "Immortal-Severing Island" had all but vanished from cultivators' lips.
Some days earlier, Qing Chen had personally slain a Fourth-Tier Great Demon within a hundred thousand miles.
With that, no fourth-tier ferocious beasts remained to roam the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of sea.
He left Su Zixuan and twenty thousand elite troops behind to establish formations and seal off the area, then turned and mounted his brand-new Five-Dragon Carriage Treasure Talisman, streaking away through the sky as a golden rainbow.
The talisman became a dragon carriage, clouds following its moving shadow.
At its ordinary speed, it covered a hundred and eighty thousand miles in two hours.
If he also activated the Minor Five Elements One-Origin Evasion Art, the five dragon silhouettes merged into a bank of golden clouds supporting him on either side, and his speed surged to two hundred and twenty thousand miles in two hours.
-even an ordinary Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivator might not be able to catch Qing Chen's escape light.
Four or five million miles of sea took no more than a day.
By the time he reached Cangming Island, night had deepened.
Qing Chen concealed the radiance around him and settled like a wisp of thin smoke into a quiet room
