"I am promoted to Xiantian and intend to return to Tianying Hall. If the Taoist Master is willing to help me, I can do it without any effort. I don't know..." Jiang Zhongzhou tentatively said.
"Xue never participates in disputes that have nothing to do with Taoism."
Xue Tong asked again if the Gantai Guild offered a reward for his capture. Jiang Zhongzhou told him that he was the most important criminal of the Guild and had a reward of one million.
"Even Qi Chongji died unexpectedly, so there are probably only a few people who are really interested in this bounty."
"Your senior brothers and sisters know my details, please don't spread it outside." Xue Tong warned.
"Of course, the three of us are not that stupid." Jiang Zhongzhou said.
"Do you still have the Taoist Master's top-quality sword?" Jiang Tongquan said timidly.
"Well, seeing that you are true to your word and have waited for several years, I will sell you one of Yuan Changyi's top-quality magic weapons at a cheap price. Don't forget what I asked you to tell me today."
Jiang Tongquan raised millions to buy the top-quality sword that he had dreamed of for many years. He couldn't help but feel happy. He no longer had to worry about the magic weapon for decades to come.
…
Xue Tong resigned from Jiang Zhongzhou and considered the matter of Dark Storm.
"In such a large island, I am a wanted criminal. There is no hope of teleportation. I can only take the risk and return to another continent from the eye of the storm!"
"Dark Storm and Dark Dragon Wind Pillar attract warriors to this continent and spit them back a year later." Xue Tong recalled the conversation with Lin Hong that year.
"Calculating the time, there are less than three years left."
"Wherever those people ended up after they came, it was always in the eastern part of the Black Sea, far away from the end of the map."
Xue Tong prepared carefully and embarked on the journey.
He returned to the island where he practiced, divided the flying magic weapons into two groups, charged up the magic power, and replaced the spiritual stones.
A group can fly 35,000 miles, including the eagles. If no islands or reefs are seen within 40,000 miles, they must return.
…
After an extremely difficult journey, the eagle's endurance increased, and after 1,300 miles, it looked depressed. Xue Tong patted the storage bag and transferred to a small flying boat. The eagle got into the pet bag to rest.
When Feizhou's mana was about to be exhausted, Xue Tong summoned the ship again, aimed at Feizhou and slapped the storage bag. With a gentle movement of his palm, he put it into the storage bag.
This is also the reason why it is impossible to replenish the aircraft's power during flight. It is impossible to hold the airship and take a boat to refill the mana.
Flying 18,000 miles eastward, there is still an endless black sea.
"Sure enough, the despair and terror are so overwhelming." Xue Tong transferred to Gongsun Kui's spaceship. This ship was sturdy and spacious, could accommodate six people, and had a flight distance of five thousand miles.
The spaceship is more than a hundred feet away from the sea level, and Xue Tong's golden eyes can see the sea clearly from a distance.
The bone soul ape is strolling along the side of the ship, and the novelty of the Black Sea of Death has been replaced by confusion.
Xue Tong talks to the spiritual pet, observes the reaction from his eyes, and relaxes his mood.
…
Thirty-four thousand miles away, Xue Tong, who was well prepared, fell into extreme anxiety. Once he returned, he would not be able to try again for two hundred years. This was too long.
"Senior Wanyu must have also explored. From the easternmost island chain on the chart to this point, there is no island in sight for 30,000 miles. Who can bear this!"
"The light spirit stone is as big as a million!"
"If I hadn't known about the Dark Storm, I wouldn't have taken the risk of being killed." Xue Tong thought as he put the ship away and jumped onto the vulture again.
Hundreds of miles later.
"Slow down!" Xue Tong said suddenly.
"Is there a black spot there?" Xue Tong said, pointing to a blurry shadow on the sea thousands of feet away.
"Chirp" the vulture chirped, nodding in approval.
Xue Tong's blood surged, and he shook his head a few times before he woke up, "Fly slowly, don't get too close, fly around."
He could already see clearly that a protruding object on the sea looked very much like a black reef about the size of an acre.
The vulture was five hundred feet away from the reef in mid-air, slowly circling in a large circle.
"Come closer" The reef has a strange appearance, like a pile of cow dung. Xue Tong wants to see it more clearly, and even wants to summon a bone puppet to shoot an arrow.
Suddenly, the rocks moved, and two golden-red lanterns suddenly lifted up in the darkness.
Xue Tong was instantly ice-cold, and what was coiled on the rock was a huge black dragon!
"Run away!" Xue Tong yanked the vulture's neck and roared.
The ink dragon shot out like a black line and spat out.
A thick bolt of lightning struck over. The eagle was extremely fast, but it still could not escape the collision from the edge of the light beam.
Xue Tong swung the lacquer knife and slashed hard, and a majestic force was fed back. His wrist shook violently, and the lacquer knife was released, and the man and the vulture flew out like a rotten leaf.
Fortunately, Xue Tong took precautions and hung the lacquer knife on his wrist with a python tendon. This inestimable treasure did not fall into the sea.
"Oh my god, Mo Jiao looks like a high-level master. If he can fly, or if I am a little careless, my life will be in danger!"
The vulture flew dozens of miles away, and Xue Tong finally felt relieved.
"The ink dragon has taken over the reef to rest, which at least means that the island and reef are reappearing on the sea!"
Xue Tong was greatly shaken and continued eastward.
A new world is ahead!
Thirty-six thousand miles later, there were more rocks on the sea surface, and islands of various sizes appeared. Xue Tong was even more careful, and after repeated confirmations, he landed on a small island with a wide view and no monsters occupying it.
After marking the chart, he started back on the road, looking for a more suitable place to stay, and finally landed on a small, inconspicuous island with gentle mountains.
The seawater near the island occasionally splashes with waves, indicating that the Black Sea of Death has entered a new area.
"To the east is what Lin Hong calls the Sea of Storms. The tens of thousands of miles of death sea separates the two sea areas."
Xue Tong finished replenishing the mana and spirit stones of the aircraft, and after flying five thousand miles eastward, the sky gradually became brighter, and the sea was rough, like a gray area like Wenzhi Island.
"Just settle in the gray zone"
Xue Tong dug a hole on the island and lived there for two years, but he worked hard to repair it.
His earliest Four Elephant Sword Formation was replaced with four top-quality long swords; over the years, Tianbei Fist has been refined to the fifth level, completely replacing Ghost Evil Fist.
…
"Boom!"
The thunder shocked Xue Tong in the basement. He walked out of the cave and looked at the sea and sky.
Thousands of miles away, a bright cloud has gathered in the dark sky, and the wind on the island is blowing.
The signs of the dark storm are becoming more apparent day by day.
The Black Sea is restless. On a small island that has not seen a single beast in two years, three beasts have landed on the island within a few days.
Sea pythons, turtles, crocodiles.
"Hehe, then I'll hunt first as a sign of respect!"
Xue Tong and his spiritual pets kill the beasts on sight. The levels of the monsters range from acquired to innate.
Until four months later, the bright clouds on the horizon gathered into a giant light group, and the outer black clouds stretched thousands of miles. The sea wind was like a galloping beast, and the hurricane overturned all the vegetation and trees, and was swept into the rough sea.
On the bright sea surface in the center, a black wind pillar rose into the sky, shaped like a huge dragon, shattering the light group, penetrating into the endless void, never ending.
"Wow, Dark Dragon Wind Pillar, another warrior from Wanyu Continent is here!"
Huge waves hundreds of feet high instantly submerged the stone island, Xue Tong rose into the sky, and the Gang Demon Qi shield rumbled as the waves impacted it.
The dark storm lasted for a whole day, and the whole world felt like it was about to be torn apart.
When the storm calmed down and the light of the bright clouds gradually faded, Xue Tong understood that warriors from Wanyu might visit his nameless island at any time.
"With the bright spot as the center, the island groups within thousands of miles are all the targets of their exploration."
Xue Tong no longer has much interest in collecting resources. He only needs a few things and can buy them at a high price.
He made preparations, changed his disguise, and tried his best to replace the magic weapon Wan Yu had obtained.
The Golden Ray Sword of the Dragon Killing Formation was replaced by the False Treasure Fierce Light Sword. The Fierce Light was still in the magic weapon stage and the power of the sword formation was intact.
The Bone Puppet's Nine Nether Sword was replaced with a horse-killing sword, and the Chang family's treasures were also not allowed to be shown to others at will.
He himself continued to use Qingming Ju, which was not famous in Wanyu.
…
A few days later, the tranquility of the island was broken, and two warriors arrived.
He is about forty or fifty years old, with a slim face and a moderate figure, and a majestic look between his brows.
The two of them were dressed similarly and seemed to be brothers. Both were in the late Xiantian martial arts level.
"Oh, there is someone." The young man was surprised.
"I arrived half an hour earlier than you two," Xue Tong said nonsense.
"Fellow Taoist, my sect, my sect, I am Zou Hengfu, this is my junior brother Bai Shaojing."
"A poor Taoist student, a scattered cultivator in Wanyu." Xue Tong did many sensational things in those years. His real name and Wei Wuhuang's pseudonym are still inappropriate to use even after sixty or seventy years.
"Oh, we and the elders of Changwu Sect came to the ancient ruins together." Bai Shaojing gave people a feeling of arrogance. After all, Changwu Sect was a well-known sect.
"Nice to meet you!"
What's more, he also killed Huyan Yongkang, the elder of Changwuzong, and took his magic weapon, the Golden Ray Sword.
"Fellow Taoist is alone," Zou Hengfu asked.
"Well, I have been hesitating whether I should come or not, and rushed to the Dark Dragon Pillar at the last moment." Xue Tong said.
"Haha, let's go to the south. We have made an appointment with a few more friends and will meet at Wensu Island in half a month." Zou Hengfu invited.
"Oh, Taoist friend Zou has many friends. For such a large sect as Changwu, there must be a lot of people coming." Xue Tongtiao asked.
"It's not much, let's go." Zou Hengfu did not answer clearly.
"Okay!" Xue Tong stopped asking any more questions. Asking too many questions would be annoying and easy to expose.
But there was one thing he had to say, "Luo came to the ruins to try his luck and get the ten thousand year stone marrow. If you two want to sell it, the price can be easily negotiated."
Zou Hengfu shook his head to indicate that there was no supply, "Fellow Taoist plans to refine the magic weapon."
"I'll think about it after all. I'm collecting materials."
Ten Thousand Years Stone Marrow is the easiest to find among the three refined materials, with a market price of about one million spiritual stones.
There are islands in the Gray Zone hundreds of miles apart. Wensu Island is located four thousand miles away in the south. It is a vast island and is a first-class large island.
Xue Tong boarded Yi Su's spaceship. Its performance and quality were slightly worse than those of the two brothers. "Hey, there are many birds in Changwuzong. You two had better not use your bad brains."
They walked and stopped along the way, killing monsters and collecting medicines at every island they came to. Xue Tong followed behind without showing off, and his spiritual pet only summoned the soul ape to suck the soul of the beast.
Bai Shaojing was slightly surprised by the Peak Soul Ape. His spiritual pet, Thunder Leopard, had the same martial level, but he deliberately avoided the Soul Ape. His fear was self-evident.
Xue Tong no longer cares much about the acquired monster beast, unless it has never been killed. The new breed of beast blood can be used to temper ghost banners.
The more types of beast blood and the higher the level, the more the blood flags can nourish the soul beasts.
The three of them arrived at Wensu Island in advance. The island covers an area of about 100,000 square miles. The underground hot springs bring out the smell of sulfur. According to Zou Hengfu, there are complex caves in the south of the island, where monsters are stung, and there seem to be traces of the activities of ancient monks.
Xue Tong was curious about who Chang Wuzong had invited to come, and whether any warriors from the Wuji Sect were among them.
