Chapter 550: First Arrival at the Endless Sea (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
"Is this the Endless Sea? Is the water spiritual power so abundant?"
"There are endless waves coming from outside this cave, and only the Endless Sea can have such a grand occasion."
When all the discomfort disappeared, Sun Mingsheng and others had already appeared in a slightly damp cave that was constantly washed by the tide.
"Dear Taoist friends, this is the Endless Sea. Please hand over the teleportation token to me, and you can leave here and enter the real Endless Sea. In addition, I sell the latest version of the sea map here, which is marked with the basic situation and specialties of each spiritual island. Each copy is sold for 100 spiritual stones. It is fair to all children and adults."
The cultivator in charge of maintaining the teleportation array on this side is also in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He collected the teleportation tokens one by one and enthusiastically sold the sea map.
Sun Mingsheng and the Bai family ancestor also tacitly bought a complete sea map each. After handing back the token, they left without looking back.
This teleportation array is located on a small island with rugged rocks. There is a third-level low-grade spiritual vein on it, but the special terrain is not suitable for cultivating spiritual fields. Therefore, apart from the cultivators waiting for teleportation, there are not many cultivators coming and going here.
"The maps sold by the cultivators of the Tang Dynasty are of course a little more expensive, but the quality is guaranteed. Basically, they will cover the islands discovered in the past year and the latest situation."
After leaving the island for a while, the ancestor of the Bai family couldn't help but complain. Of course, he was quite satisfied with the quality of the sea map.
"Ancestor, will there be new changes in the islands in the Endless Sea? The entire sea area is also changing?"
Sun Mingsheng came here for the first time, and all the information about the Endless Sea came from some jade slips widely circulated in the Song Dynasty cultivation world.
There is no doubt that in the long river of history, this information will be distorted. Some new information will not be easily leaked by each family.
"The Endless Sea is so named because the entire sea area has not been explored clearly so far, and even the sea area that has been explored is less than one-tenth of the entire sea area."
"Among the sea areas that have been explored, less than half are in the hands of human cultivators, and the rest belong to the world of various sea beasts."
"Every few hundred years, there will be beast tides of varying sizes here, and each time a large number of islands will fall and a large number of cultivators will die."
Along the way, the Bai family ancestor has been introducing some details about the Endless Sea. Various situations can happen here, and death is an inevitable topic. Jindan stage cultivators cannot guarantee their own safety here.
"Ancestor, where is our goal for this trip? Can we go directly to the spiritual island where the two-headed ginseng fruit is located?"
Because we have just arrived at the Endless Sea, we are still in an adaptation period. Even if there are some markings on the map, we still cannot make an accurate judgment when facing the spiritual islands of different sizes and large numbers.
"It has been nearly fifty years since I last came to the Endless Sea. Who knows what kind of changes have taken place in this Endless Sea? Let's go to Dinghai Spirit Island first. This is a large spiritual island with a fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual vein on it. It belongs to Dinghai Sect and has more than four Yuanying period monks in charge."
"Mingsheng will send corresponding monks to each spiritual island in the Endless Sea according to the different grades of the spiritual veins, and there will be a large formation as a protection to resist the invasion of monsters. The spiritual islands above the third grade will have a special market. Let's go to Dinghai Spirit Island Market to find out the changes over the years."
The Bai family ancestor naturally understood the doubts that Sun Mingsheng was facing at this time. As long as it did not involve some key secrets, he would not hesitate.
Of course, this is also one of the hidden rewards for Sun Mingsheng's willingness to take the risk to follow him to the Endless Sea. Gaining these experiences can save a lot of time and energy invisibly.
"Ancestor, can the spiritual islands in the endless sea be occupied at will? Can we occupy a spiritual island for our own use?"
Sun Mingsheng raised another question after hearing this. The value of a spiritual island is unquestionable. Even if it is only a second-level upper-grade one, it is worth it and can be regarded as a qualified foothold.
"The relatively safe spiritual islands in the area controlled by human cultivators have been allocated and have their own owners long ago. The rest are in the sea where cultivators and monsters are entangled. Beast tides of different sizes may erupt at any time. Every year, many cultivators die because of island seizure."
"We are just here temporarily. The families behind you and me do not have the strength to snatch a spiritual island in this jagged position. It is better to honestly look for opportunities to improve your cultivation."
The Bai family ancestor tried to completely break the delusions in Sun Mingsheng's mind without mercy, but unfortunately, he did not know that it left a seed that could sprout at any time in his heart.
Perhaps in the short term, Sun Mingsheng and the Sun family behind him are not able to occupy a spiritual island in the Endless Sea and engage in a bloody and cruel tug-of-war, but if one day the family's strength slowly increases to a certain level, everything is possible.
Of course, Sun Mingsheng, who had just arrived at the Endless Sea, was unfamiliar with everything here, so he would not make inappropriate decisions at will. Everything was led by the Bai family ancestor, and making plans before taking action was the most basic quality of a cultivator.
The distance between the two spiritual islands seemed not too long on the sea map, but the actual journey was not simple. There were frequent accidents along the way, and he even met two Jindan-stage cultivators who were hunting a huge crab.
Fortunately, both parties had no ill intentions, and Sun Mingsheng and the others did not stay too long. In addition, their equally outstanding cultivation level eliminated the abnormal conflict that might have broken out.
"Mingsheng, the cultivators of the Endless Sea mainly make a living by hunting monsters in exchange for cultivation resources. Once you encounter these warring groups, you must not intervene at will if you are not 100% sure."
"When facing some cultivators who are already in desperate situations, you must not rescue them at will, otherwise you may fall into crisis and even endanger your own life."
The Bai family ancestor may be out of love for Bai Qingling and love for his family, or perhaps he wants to avoid some unnecessary troubles, so he is very concerned about his teachings.
Regardless of the purpose of this old Jindan stage cultivator, Sun Mingsheng's gratitude is naturally genuine.
"The younger generation will remember the teachings of the ancestor, please rest assured, ancestor"
Sun Mingsheng is not an ignorant person. Under this kind of teaching, his understanding of the Endless Sea has also increased sharply, and he will naturally not be stingy with some praise or respect for the old man in front of him.
After three full days, under the guidance of the sea chart, a small island that looked like a giant turtle lying in the sea finally appeared before their eyes. It was Dinghai Ling Island.
