Turning Boats into Sails

Fu Qianqiu was a very particular person. Although the treasure he found was found through the Treasure-Seeking Talisman and had almost nothing to do with Yi Xuan, he still gave half of the Spirit Stone in the ring to Yi Xuan.

This deeply moved Yi Xuan.

Let alone in the Cultivation Realm, even among mortals, good people like Fu Qianqiu are rare!

However, Yi Xuan felt that another name suited this guy better!

What a sucker!

Yi Xuan naturally accepted all of Fu Qianqiu's gifts.

As the saying goes, "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal," Yi Xuan wouldn't be so stupid as to be polite in this situation.

However, from this moment on, Yi Xuan found Fu Qianqiu increasingly pleasing to the eye.

As the journey continued, the two talked much more.

Fu Qianqiu Yi Xuan to many things about their sect.

Yi Xuan also subtly inquired about many things concerning Central Continent.

One of the questions asked was about the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

As a disciple of a top power in the Central Continent, Fu Qianqiu was naturally very clear about the situation in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

According to him, the current situation in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom is truly turbulent.

As the old emperor's Five Decays of a Celestial Person, the struggle among his successors intensified.

This power struggle among such a major force in the Central Continent is not just a matter for their own country; it affects the entire Central Continent.

Many forces, eager to profit from it, have actively joined the power struggle within the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

Of course, so far, those who have joined are all second-rate forces.

According to Fu Qianqiu, these forces had a good plan: to take advantage of the turmoil in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom and get a share of the spoils.

But wasn't the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom also using them as nourishment?

Entering the power struggle of such a top-level force without a fight is not an easy task, and it's not so easy to emerge unscathed.

After hearing the other party's description, Yi Xuan wholeheartedly agreed.

However, Fu Qianqiu was not from the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, and knew nothing about Zhuo Ning, Yi Xuan wanted to inquire about.

Yi Xuan expressed his understanding, but at the same time he was very worried about Zhuo Ning's situation, wondering how that guy was doing now.

Therefore, Yi Xuan secretly decided that he must go to the Central Continent after Junior Sister Mu's matter was settled.

On one hand, I wanted to check on Zhuo Ning's situation; on the other hand, I also wanted to see what kind of prosperous era the center of the Human Clan cultivation in this world was!

During their conversation, Yi Xuan intentionally or unintentionally revealed that she had come in to look for someone.

After listening to the story, Fu Qianqiu immediately offered to help Yi Xuan search for him.

After inquiring about Junior Sister Mu's situation, this guy took out a talisman, which spontaneously combusted again in the wind.

Watching the rising smoke, Fu Qianqiu finally told Yi Xuan that the person they were looking for was near the tower.

So the two of them decisively sped up.

Seeing that he and Yi Xuan were getting along very well, Fu Qianqiu stopped using the Treasure-Seeking Talisman and followed behind the Black Tortoise, fully activating the golden light on his body.

Finally, eight days later, Yi Xuan and his companion arrived at a place not far from the tower.

As for why we didn't go directly to the tower...

It was only upon closer inspection that we discovered the tower was actually surrounded by a lake.

To get close to the tower, one must wade through the water.

Even more strangely, the island was now completely submerged in the Eternal Sea.

Logically, the original lake should have already merged with the waters of the Eternal Sea.

But at this moment, the lake in front of them was clearly distinct from the sea.

And by this time, quite a few people had already gathered around the lake.

This also demonstrates that those involved in the Tomb of the Sea God were indeed hidden talents.

At least in terms of speed, they each have their own unique methods. A group of cultivators who are clearly not even at the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage are all as fast as Spirit Transformation.

Fu Qianqiu also told Yi Xuan that these people didn't not want to go to the tower, but the tower's opening time hadn't arrived yet, so they couldn't even touch the lake water in front of them.

After listening to Fu Qianqiu's introduction, Yi Xuan also noticed the transparent barrier on the outside of the lake.

It seems this is what's blocking everyone's way.

According to Fu Qianqiu, this barrier usually disappears on the tenth day after the Tomb of the Sea God opens, which means that the two arrived at just the right time.

However, Yi Xuan was not concerned about whether the barrier had disappeared or not.

After listening to Fu Qianqiu's introduction, Yi Xuan suddenly realized that since Junior Sister Mu's goal was the Tomb of the Sea God, she should also be waiting for the barrier to disappear.

Yi Xuan quickly looked around and, sure enough, spotted Junior Sister Mu in the distance.

At this moment, Junior Sister Mu was sitting cross-legged facing the lake with her eyes closed, and a large area behind her was completely empty, with no one daring to take a step forward.

But Yi Xuan didn't care about all that and prepared to step forward to acknowledge them.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the tower in the middle of the lake suddenly burst forth with blue light, and the barrier around the lake quickly disappeared under the illumination of that light.

At the same time, whispers rang in the ears of the people gathered around the lake:

To reach the other shore, one must cross the Lake of Fate. Root Bone are the boat, and one's fortune is the sail. Fate is predetermined; it cannot be forced!

The meaning of this is very simple: the lake in front of us must be the so-called "Lake of Fate." To cross it, we must use our Root Bone as a boat and our vital energy as a sail!

So everyone started moving towards the lake.

Unlike the others, Yi Xuan piloted the Black Tortoise directly towards Junior Sister Mu, who was not far away, and shouted!

"Junior Sister Mu! Junior Sister Mu, it's your Senior Brother Yi!"

But Junior Sister Mu seemed deaf, completely unresponsive to Yi Xuan's shouts.

Instead, he stepped onto the lake.

As she took that step, a giant dragon boat suddenly appeared beneath Junior Sister Mu's feet. It then grew larger and larger as it faced the wind, and a giant sail quickly appeared on the dragon boat, carrying Junior Sister Mu towards the center of the lake!

The others followed suit, stepping onto the lake one by one, and all sorts of boats appeared beneath their feet.

Some were just small awning boats, while others were multi-story ships, and quite a few even had giant dragon boats like Junior Sister Mu's.

Yi Xuan also saw several ships that were even larger than Junior Sister Mu's.

Furthermore, everyone's sails were of various kinds, which dazzled Yi Xuan.

Turning around, Fu Qianqiu found himself standing on the lake surface at some point.

The boat he was on wasn't particularly grand; it was just an ordinary pleasure boat, one of the smallest boats among the others.

But as Yi Xuan looked up, he saw that the pleasure boat was now sporting a sail that was disproportionately large for its size.

The sails were so thick they blotted out the sky!

Yi Xuan was certain that no one present could compare to Fu Qianqiu when it came to sails.

The saying goes, "Fortune is the sail," which shows just how strong Fu Qianqiu's fortune must be!
