The boat seemed to be moving slowly, but it quickly reached the center of Yaohai.
From time to time, huge monsters can be seen churning out of the water, revealing their faint figures, or half a pointed fin, or a line of back, or a horn on the top of their head, or a piece of hard scales.
This is a paradise for sea beasts, and outer disciples are not allowed to set foot there.
Although the boat is small, it also attracts the attention of sea animals. However, whenever they get close to the boat, they will be annihilated silently.
The boat stopped and Jing Yingrong put it away. Yunluo flew around her, and the silvery neon danced around her, like a fairy or a painting.
Jing Yingrong lowered her head and stared at the sea, then slid into the sea like a fish.
She kept diving.
The eternal black silence of the seabed opened its arms to her, and she passed through it without any hesitation.
Under the black silence is a dazzling red.
In the boiling hot lava, various monsters swim. These monsters look extremely weird, like nightmares. Each of them exudes a fierce and unusual aura, and killings are happening every moment.
Jing Yingrong did not pay attention to the surrounding scene. Her speed was so fast that the monsters could not react.
Passing through the magma, there is another long period of deep blackness, and then there is an extremely cold world.
The snow-white frozen layer is stronger than a magic weapon and is so cold that no living thing can survive inside.
The speed of mirror reflection does not slow down.
Bing Ling stepped away in front of her and closed behind her.
After the deep cold, comes the final darkness.
Breaking through this barrier, your eyes suddenly opened up.
It's like being in another world, with green grass, gentle breeze, and abundant spiritual energy.
Jing Yingrong's toes landed on the soft ground. In the grass not far away, a plump yellow rabbit stood up and looked at her curiously with its round eyes.
Ji Jie Bi: "It's still the same here. Has he noticed you?"
Jing Yingrong: "No."
Ji Jie Bi: "Looks like he's still sleeping."
Ji Yanzhu: "Hey, this lazy guy only knows how to sleep."
Jing Yingrong walked forward.
Along the way, we saw many monsters and ordinary animals, but there was no hunting or competition. All creatures coexisted peacefully. For the strange visitor Jing Yingrong, they only looked at her a few times without any intention of attacking.
A small lake appeared ahead. The lake was as level as a mirror. There was a raised grassland in the center of the lake. In the center of the grassland was a tree with white flowers in full bloom. Under the tree lay an old man.
The old man wore a wide robe and long sleeves. His head was resting on a tree root and he was sleeping soundly. His snoring was very rhythmic.
Ji Yanzhu: "I'm here to say hello to him."
The red light of the bead flickered on and off, and smoke began to rise from behind the old man's butt. He slowly woke up, smacked his lips sleepily, and said, "What does it smell like...why is it so hot?"
The old man belatedly looked back and jumped up immediately: "Ouch, it's on fire, it's on fire!"
He threw out a bunch of magical powers and spells but failed to extinguish the small ball of flames. He had no choice but to curl up and reveal his original shape, whereupon he saw a giant turtle throwing itself on the flames.
The flames were successfully extinguished, and after a while, the giant tortoise tremblingly poked its head, tail and limbs out of the tortoise shell. It carefully observed its surroundings, widened its eyes after seeing the reflection in the mirror, and asked, "Who are you? How come you are here?"
Without waiting for Jing Yingrong to answer, it saw the token on the opponent's waist again, shook its head, and said: "Outer disciple? How come an outer disciple is here? No, no, your cultivation level..."
The giant turtle seemed to have been greatly frightened. It moved its thick limbs and retreated quickly at a speed that was inconsistent with its size. It left the grass and submerged into the lake. Its already huge body was even more powerful in the wind.
"Who are you! If you don't tell me, I'll call someone!"
The extreme flame bead flew into the air, and the spiritual consciousness broke into the opponent's sea of consciousness.
"You are still so timid. Your cultivation has been wasted."
The giant turtle stopped moving and stared at the Extreme Flame Pearl.
"...Is it you? And you?..." It finally noticed the aura of Ji Sha Sword and Ji Jie Pen, "Is Dao Zun here? Where is he?"
Jing Yingrong: "He's not here."
"What on earth are you..."
Mirror Yingrong's fingertips touched the center of his eyebrows, and a speck of light flew out, growing from small to large, turning into a clear and bright mirror.
The giant turtle's limbs went limp.
"You, you, you, you became a human?!"
…
After a brief chat.
The giant turtle turned back into an old man again, and he said with a complex expression: "I didn't expect that the day we met would be the last time we met, alas."
The old man looked at Jing Yingrong and said, "That's good of you. I also want to go out for a walk."
Jing Yingrong: "Aren't you afraid?"
The old man was silent for a moment.
"Of course I am afraid. But to be honest, my days are numbered..."
There were waves in Jing Yingrong's eyes.
"Are you nearing the end of your life?"
"Yes, over the years, I have been sleeping, trying to prolong it as long as possible. But now that I think about it, it doesn't make much sense."
Jing Yingrong: "Where do you want to go?"
"I'll have to think about it."
"Want to come with me?"
The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "Spare me, it's too much pressure to stay with you guys, even though it's safe enough..."
Ji Sha Sword: "With your cultivation, there are few places in the world that are unsafe."
As soon as Ji Sha Sword opened his mouth, the old man obviously shrank and said nonchalantly: "It's very dangerous outside..."
"Why are you so timid?" Ji Yanzhu said.
Jijiebi said: "If he hadn't been timid, he wouldn't have been brought here by Li Chengkong. I say, you might as well find a monk with low cultivation to follow you."
The old man said blankly: "Why?"
Ji Jie Bi: "People with low cultivation level will not run to dangerous places. If you keep a low profile, no one will notice you. You don't have to worry about where you go. You only need to follow and watch. If you don't want to watch, just go to bed. How can you Isn’t it beautiful?”
Ji Sha Jian: "Isn't this the same as us?"
Ji Yanzhu: "Yes, it's good if we just follow the mirror."
The old man thought for a while.
"What you said makes sense. Then, could you help me find a candidate for me?"
Jing Yingrong: "Okay. What are your requirements?"
Old man: "The cultivation level should be low, the temperament should be stable, the status should be high, and the conduct should be good."
Jing Yingrong thought for a while and said, "I understand."
Ji Jie Bi: "Before you leave, do you want to inform the current head? If they suddenly find out that you have disappeared, it may cause trouble."
The old man chuckled: "I'll just leave you a message."
…
When Jing Yingrong returned to Yeye Island, Huo Xiumao had already completed a breakthrough and successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.
"Senior, are you done with your work?" Huo Xiumao asked.
Jing Yingrong nodded: "Yes." She paused and then said: "I'll give you something."
The rolled-up end of Yunluo floated in front of Huo Xiumao, and slowly unfolded it, revealing the wrapped thing.
Huo Xiumao looked at the small lump and said uncertainly: "A... turtle?"
