Fellow Daoist, Please Wait
After No. 01's explanation, Yi Xuan finally understood the meaning behind the mysterious smile that Xing Qi had given him when he asked Xing Qi why the Tomb of the Sea God was not in the Eternal Sea but on a small island.
So this is the secret of the Tomb of the Sea God!
Whenever the Tomb of the Sea God opens, the entire floating island rotates 180 degrees and lies upside down in the Eternal Sea.
The island, when turned upside down, will reveal the true face of the Tomb of the Sea God!
That is the tower that stands in the very center of the island. According to Xing Qi's previous explanation, that tower is the true location of the Tomb of the Sea God.
Yi Xuan stared at the tall tower in the center, feeling somewhat dazed. He clearly remembered that when he first entered the island, there was no such tower on the island.
In other words, this tower appeared after the island was inverted!
Although amazed by the existence of that tall tower, Yi Xuan's most important task at the moment was to track down Junior Sister Mu.
So, Yi Xuan released a mechanical whale directly from the ring.
After this enormous creature appeared, it did not swim away. Instead, it opened its huge mouth, and countless mechanical octopuses swam out of it continuously.
Afterward, these mechanical octopuses scattered across the entire island, beginning to help Yi Xuan search for Junior Sister Mu's whereabouts.
As for the remaining mechanical whale, Yi Xuan put it into optical stealth mode.
As the main carrier of the underwater mechanical army, mechanical whales do more than just transport.
In situations like the one in the Tomb of the Sea God, Yi Xuan has completely lost contact with the outside world.
In this situation, the mechanical whale can temporarily serve as a signal base station.
With its presence, along with the scattered mechanical octopuses, Yi Xuan's signal network could soon cover the entire Tomb of the Sea God.
However, the spread of mechanical octopuses will take time.
So Yi Xuan piloted the Black Tortoise towards the center of the island.
He believed that now that Junior Sister Mu had appeared and entered the Tomb of the Sea God, her goal must be the same as everyone else's: the tall tower in the center.
Therefore, Yi Xuan's goal was very clear: to head towards the central tower.
Based on the observation distance given by No. 01, and taking into account the flight speed of Black Tortoise, it is estimated that Yi Xuan will be able to stand at the foot of the tower in less than an hour.
In reality, after flying for a whole day, the Black Tortoise still hadn't reached the location of the tower.
Moreover, according to No. 01's calculations, Yi Xuan had only covered one-fifth of the distance at this point.
How is that possible?
Both Yi Xuan and No. 01 were somewhat at a loss in this situation.
In the end, Yi Xuan could only speculate that the island might be using the same technology as the ring on his hand!
Although somewhat helpless, Yi Xuan had no other solution but to grit his teeth and continue to accelerate the Black Tortoise.
Just as the Black Tortoise was preparing to leave this place and continue its journey.
A voice suddenly reached Yi Xuan's ears!
Fellow Daoist, please wait!
The words "Fellow Daoist, please wait" startled Yi Xuan.
What kind of indecent words are these?
Conventionally, anyone who says such things is definitely not a good person, and those who hear them usually don't have a good ending.
Fortunately, the Cultivation Realm that Yi Xuan transmigrated to was unrelated to the Investiture of the Gods in his previous life; otherwise, based on just that one sentence, Yi Xuan would definitely have turned around and left.
Finally, when Yi Xuan turned around, he saw a figure enveloped in golden light rushing towards him from not far away.
Upon approaching, Yi Xuan used the Black Tortoise to sized up the other party.
The man wore a Daoist hat and robe, had a jade-like complexion, and long, black hair.
If it weren't for his Daoist attire, Yi Xuan would have definitely thought the other person was a noble young master from a wealthy family.
The phrase "a gentleman as refined as jade" perfectly describes the person before me!
"Fellow Daoist, are you calling me?"
Yi Xuan's voice came directly into the other party's ears from the Black Tortoise.
The golden light emanating from the opponent gradually disappeared as it approached the Black Tortoise, and then it landed on the ground.
The man approached but didn't answer Yi Xuan's question. He just kept looking at the Black Tortoise, which puzzled Yi Xuan greatly.
So he spoke again and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you to my side?"
The man finally heard Yi Xuan's question and quickly bowed to him, saying, "I am Fu Qianqiu, a disciple of the Thousand Talisman Sect of the Central Continent Yi Xuan! You must be a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect of Southern Frontier, right?"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Yi Xuan never expected that the other party could determine his sect even through the Yi Xuan Black Tortoise.
If it were Yi Xuan from a few years ago, he would have been terrified to death upon hearing what the other person said.
After all, we were not strong enough at that time. If someone could see through our background at a glance, they would definitely come looking for trouble!
Upon hearing Yi Xuan's words, the man smiled and said, "It seems you haven't returned to the mainland for some time, have you?"
"That's true, but what does that have to do with you confirming that I'm a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect?"
"Of course they're related!"
The man smiled and said, "Yi Xuan, the protector of the Azure Cloud Sect in the Southern Frontier, defeated the Mystic Snow Pavilion a year ago with his puppet army, making the Azure Cloud Sect a top power in the Southern Frontier! Some even speculated, based on the power of Protector Yi's attacks, that he was only one step away from ascending to immortality! As a result, his puppet army naturally became famous throughout the world! I just saw your puppets from afar, and I recognized them at a glance as being exactly the same as Protector Yi's puppets!"
Yi Xuan never expected his story to spread so quickly, so he had no choice but to admit, "Fellow Daoist has sharp eyes; I am indeed a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, Shi Zhenghao!"
At the same time, Yi Xuan silently apologized to his senior brother in his heart.
On second thought, since my senior brother will never come to the Eternal Sea anyway, it wouldn't hurt to borrow his name for a moment.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I've long admired you!"
"Fellow Daoist Fu, I've long admired you!"
"By the way, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Fu has to offer me by stopping me here?"
Hearing Yi Xuan's words, Fu Qianqiu gave a wry smile, "I dare not offer guidance, but as you know, fellow Daoist, the situation of the Tomb of the Sea God is quite clear! There are four forces: Human Clan, Sea Clan, Demon Beast, and sea monsters! In truth, our Human Clan is the weakest! Therefore, I would like to invite you to explore the Tomb of the Sea God together!"
Yi Xuan did not immediately accept Fu Qianqiu's invitation, but pondered for a moment.
He was completely different from the others who entered the Tomb of the Sea God. They were interested in the fortuitous opportunity within the Tomb of the Sea God, but Yi Xuan only wanted to find Junior Sister Mu!
However, since the mechanical octopus has already spread, I will know as soon as there is news about Junior Sister Mu.
Instead of doing nothing and waiting for news of the mechanical army...
It would be better to head towards the central tower while exploring the Tomb of the Sea God.
With that in mind, Yi Xuan readily accepted the invitation, and the two of them set off together toward the center of the island!
