A New Beginning, the Eight Immortals Sea!

"Boom!!!"

A thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth, and a rift in the Void silently tore open. The next moment, everyone fell from the Void through the rift...

Fortunately, the Qing Centipede reacted quickly and caught everyone steadily while circling around!

After you have a clear look around--

The group found themselves on an island reef. Looking at them, each one was weak in Spiritual Qi, clearly exhausted and on their last legs...

Seeing this, Qin Lu couldn't help but frown. All six of them were exhausted, which was not a good sign.

Especially in this unfamiliar place, there's no guarantee that there won't be any danger...

After careful consideration, Qin Lu addressed the group:

"Gentlemen, let's proceed to the inner realm to rest. I'll explore it first..."

Upon hearing this—

Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that none of them intended to disobey Qin Lu; they were all now in the same boat...

He certainly wouldn't do anything foolish!

Qin Lu summoned the Boundless Jade Ring, which then opened a portal. The cultivators bowed to him before entering to rest...

After finishing everything, Qin Lu took out a bottle of pills, tilted his head back, and silently refined the medicinal power to gradually restore his Spiritual Power.

Meanwhile, the Qing Centipede burrowed into the sea, hunting sea beasts to satisfy its hunger and refining their flesh and blood to replenish its depleted resources...

In the blink of an eye—three days had passed!

Qin Lu's Spiritual Power had recovered to about 70-80%, and his Dao Law power had also been replenished. After resting for a while, Qin Lu rode the Qing Centipede...

They fled southwards into the distance!

Although I don't know where this is, I'm certain of one thing...

This is definitely not the Northern Continent; at least for now, I haven't sensed the presence of land. And judging from the environment, the Spiritual Qi is rather thin...

But it is sufficient for daily cultivation by monks, which proves this point.

This place is by no means a place devoid of spirits, and there are many kinds of beasts in the sea. The Qing Centipede has only stayed for a few days, and who knows how much flesh and blood it has devoured...

Its body showed signs of regrowth!

"Sea area..."

"Could it be that we've reached the Eastern Sea?"

"But the coastal areas of the Northern Continent have long been invaded by Sea Race, so how could they be so peaceful now? Clearly, it's not near the coast..."

"With the power of Third-Tier teleportation array, regardless of the cost, it can teleport you at least three or four hundred thousand miles away."

"Could it be that the Myriad Stars Orbital Fixing have deviated, sending us to the depths of the ocean?"

Qin Lu had doubts in his heart...

But in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. After a full month of flying, Qin Lu finally arrived under the guidance of the Qing Centipede...

We've found a small island in the sea!

Looking around, the island wasn't large, covering only a few hundred square kilometers. Qin Lu merely scanned it with his Divine Sense and discovered that there were actually Human Race on the island...

However, their numbers are small, only a few thousand, and among them is only one Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

It also harbors many Demon Beast, all of which appear to be domesticated, such as spirit sheep and spirit chickens, and a group of seals...

They seem to be the cattle and sheep of these sea monks!

"Qing Centipede, seal off the island, none of them will escape."

In the midst of the conversation --

The Qing Centipede flew towards the island, its blood-red maw opening wide, and streams of poisonous energy condensed from the Azure Frost Dao Law sealed off the entire island...

Then Qin Lu flashed away and disappeared from the spot, simply by lifting his hand.

The Qi Condensation cultivator was lifted up by Qin Lu like a chick, and as his breathing gradually weakened, Qin Lu then tossed him aside like trash...

It was thrown nearly 100 meters away!

Without waiting for a reply, Qin Lu had already activated the Soul Searching Secret Method. He preferred to find the truth himself rather than listen to others' ghost stories...

The Nether Soul Dao Principle circulated and attached itself to the middle-aged man's head. Then, Qin Lu flipped through his memories like turning the pages of a book!

Qin Lu's nearly century-long life experience can be summarized in just a few minutes...

The first thing that can be confirmed is...

They did not leave the Northern Nether Domain, but they were quite far from Northern Nether Domain. This sea area was called: the Eight Immortals Sea...

It belongs to the deep-sea region near the Northern Nether Domain, and even though it's closest to the Northern Continent, it's still a full 500,000 miles away, spanning a vast ocean...

Even if Core Formation True Person came, it might take at least ten years for them to fly back!

Furthermore, the journey may involve attacks from various Demon Beast, or natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis; the journey may be fraught with peril, and life or death is uncertain...

Obviously--

It's unrealistic to think you can physically cross the ocean by force...

Even if it were possible, it would be time-consuming, laborious, and even life-threatening, especially for low-level cultivators, who would find it even more impossible to cross the sea using this method.

And away from the Central Lands—

It lies millions of miles away, now a lone boat adrift at sea, the most remote place of survival for the Human Race of the Northern Nether Domain...

I don't know why the ancestors of this group of people chose to live in such a place.

The layout of the Eight Immortals Sea was also very simple and clear, even quite small, consisting of only eight forces...

This is how the Eight Immortals Sea got its name!

The so-called eight forces, which are the ruling systems established by the eight Core Formation True Person, can be broadly divided into three factions...

The righteous sects: Jianxuan Sect, Seeking Dao Sect, and Supreme Mystery Immortal Sect!

The demonic sects: Sha Spirit Sect, Seven Emotions Cult, Ghost Spirit Immortal Sect!

Neutral factions: Wanfamen (Myriad Dharma Sect), Joyous Union Sect

In addition, numerous Rogue Cultivator formed Rogue Cultivator Alliance...

In general, all the top forces in the Eight Immortals Sea would be utterly useless, even insignificant, compared to the Qin Clan in the Northern Continent.

However, placed in the Eight Immortals Sea, it became a top-tier power second only to the eight major sects...

"Interesting!"

"The nearest large island..."

"On Eastern Li Island, where the Eastern Li Dao Sect is located, there is a miniature Spirit Vein containing two Dao Foundation Ancestors, who are from the Eight Immortals Sea..."

"It belongs to one of the top-tier forces!"

"Perfect..."

"I'll start with you!"

(If you don't understand the logic of the secret realm, you can think of it as a portable space.)
