As Jian Qianxiong’s three-colored Soul Light flew into the cabin of the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle, Ye Zhen could clearly sense the Divine Soul Imprint within the shuttle rapidly dissipating.
A few breaths later, Jian Qianxiong’s three-colored Soul Light erged and, with a light push, Jian Qianxiong sent the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle towards Ye Zhen.
"Ye Zhen, you are a person with firm resolve, your heart is set on Martial Arts. I know that no matter the reason, it cannot dissuade you from venturing into the Outer Domain Dead Sea!
Just like I was back then, now the only thing I can do is give you this Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle, hoping it saves your life at critical monts!"
"I hope you can return alive, just like I did back then!"
"Don’t say more, take it, I hope you understand my intentions!" Jian Qianxiong said while patting Ye Zhen’s shoulder.
Ye Zhen’s lips moved slightly, but in the end, he clasped his hands, "I understand!"
"Good, that’s good!"
"Now, let’s talk about the third issue, eligibility!" Jian Qianxiong willingly changed the subject.
"The fa of Shuili Hermit from Shuili Island, I have heard too. He opens the furnace for Alchemy once every few years, and each ti, it attracts attention from all around.
Not only in our True Spirit Domain, but other domains like the Snowdrift Domain, Three Light Domain, Heavenly Domain, and such forces are involved.
But only the top forces or elite warriors within these domains can receive an Invitation Jade Scroll from Shuili Island and gain the qualification to go on the island."
At this point, Jian Qianxiong smiled wryly, "Like our Sun and Moon Divine Sect, we have never had this qualification, but given the current montum, we might in ten years or so!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart suddenly stirred, "Sect Hierarch, you ntioned that the top forces or elite warriors of our True Spirit Domain might receive the Invitation Jade Scroll. Is there a chance they would also have the sea map, the sea map to Shuili Island?"
"Yes, the Invitation Jade Scroll includes a sea map!" Jian Qianxiong replied.
"Then who will receive the Invitation Jade Scroll..."
"Palace Master Chu Yang of Green Sun Palace is sure to receive an Invitation Jade Scroll. You boy, are you thinking of robbing him or asking him?" Jian Qianxiong squinted his eyes.
"Forget it, I’ll just try my luck on one of the outer domain Dead Sea islands!" Ye Zhen laughed bitterly.
Indeed, at that instant, Ye Zhen did consider getting rid of Palace Master Chu Yang of Green Sun Palace to seize the Invitation Jade Scroll to Shuili Island.
But it was just a thought.
Palace Master of Green Sun Palace possesses potent innate battle power, and with the Soul Artifact Purple Fla Golden Lamp, the Soul Artifact can actively protect him, making Ye Zhen’s Earth Escape assassination useless.
Asking, that’s even more impossible.
"The Outer Domain Dead Sea is boundless, its area is said to be more than ten tis the combined land area of the Nine Great Domains. Even a Ninth Stage Establishnt Realm King, possessing a Soul Artifact and flying wildly for a year wouldn’t reach the edge of the Outer Domain Dead Sea.
Trying your luck is uncertain, when I ventured the Outer Domain Dead Sea years ago, there was an island called Wantong Island, a place where nurous martial artists transacted and congregated, involving a variety of things including intelligence and sea maps. You can give it a try! I’m just unsure if it still exists after all these years."
Saying so, Jian Qianxiong handed Ye Zhen a Jade Scroll, "This is the sea map and so cautions, customs, and people recorded during my early ventures in the Outer Domain Dead Sea.
You can take a look when you’re free, but don’t believe it entirely; after all, my ventures in the Outer Domain Dead Sea were eighty years ago, who knows what changes might have occurred since then!"
"Thank you, Sect Hierarch!" Ye Zhen said, taking the Jade Talisman.
"You, still so distant! Privately, I don’t want to hear you always calling Sect Hierarch, it’s too formal, right?" Jian Qianxiong laughed.
Ye Zhen was startled, then responded, "Thank you, Father-in-law!"
Although Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue haven’t had their wedding, in this period they have been intimately close, and the reality of being a couple is there. Calling him Father-in-law is appropriate.
Upon hearing this, Jian Qianxiong laughed heartily, "Good good, when will you depart?"
"In less than three days, or as much as five days!" Ye Zhen replied.
"Arrange matters of your Red Fire Martial City and those trusted subordinates ahead of ti, then announce a retreat and leave quietly!" Jian Qianxiong advised.
"I understand!"
"Go ahead, you don’t need to report back when you leave!"
......
Originally, according to Ye Zhen’s initial thought, he would leave swiftly within one to two days after reporting to Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong; but now, deciding to delay for another three to five days, there were reasons.
Mainly because of the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle.
As Jian Qianxiong ntioned its importance, Ye Zhen also realized its significance, but the problem was, from Ye Zhen’s perspective as an Artifact Refiner, although the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle holds a Low Grade Spirit Artifact grade, it’s purely a crudely made product.
Ye Zhen could imagine, the elder of the Sect would have ordered the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s Artifact Refiners to create it. Of course, those would likely have been of the current chief Artifact Refiner Jin Mu’s standard back then.
An object like the Sea-Crossing Shuttle, large in size, is quite challenging to refine compared to ordinary Spirit Artifacts. The Artifact Refiner back then forced a creation using materials ant for High Grade Spirit Artifacts, resulting in a Low Grade Spirit Artifact level Sea-Crossing Shuttle.
Certainly, for others it’s a good treasure, but in Ye Zhen’s eyes, it is full of flaws.
For instance, the shuttle blade; such a large shuttle blade, only six arrays were laid out flatly, was too wasteful.
In Ye Zhen’s view, the arrays at the shuttle blade could be stacked to at least twenty or more, and the situation in other areas is similar.
Because of this discovery, Ye Zhen had a sudden idea to refine the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle.
Without further ado, Ye Zhen returned to his residence, activated his Divine Sense, and carefully studied the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle again.
Every subtle connection in the array, every material’s characteristic, Ye Zhen observed minutely.
Although this Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle was rely a Low Grade Spirit Artifact-level ship, and not a real Spirit Artifact, refining and inscribing arrays were much less difficult and unlike Spirit Artifacts where failure was common.
But to ensure the Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle’s power reached its peak and minimized accidents, Ye Zhen carefully researched for a whole day before starting the refinent!
Crafting a chair compared to refining a Spirit Artifact that could seamlessly transform in size with a thought was substantially easier, especially with Ye Zhen’s formidable Divine Soul Power.
Thus, the modification of this Moon Shadow Sea Shuttle was extrely successful aside from the imnse labor that exhausted Ye Zhen, and its power dramatically increased!
.....
"Can you not go?"
In the bedroom, Ye Zhen and Feng Qingyue embraced in sleep, Feng Qingyue gently caressing Ye Zhen’s chest with her alabaster-like arms, her face full of reluctance.
Without Ye Zhen’s reply, Feng Qingyue already knew Ye Zhen’s answer, "You have to go, can you take with you? I really want to see the landscape of the legendary Outer Domain Dead Sea."
Listening to Feng Qingyue’s murmuring, Ye Zhen could only smile bitterly.
Heading to the Outer Domain Dead Sea this ti, his own future was uncertain and life and death were unpredictable. Bringing Feng Qingyue along, Ye Zhen wasn’t worried about her being a burden; in crucial monts, he’d rather risk his life to protect Feng Qingyue.
But the fear was that despite risking life, there could be monts when he might still fail to safeguard Feng Qingyue, and that was the most dreadful scenario.
In such cases, the answer was clear.
"Listen, be good; your cultivation has now broken through to the First Stage Establishnt Realm and you’re already an Establishnt King. What you need to do now is to enter Immortal Light Mountain’s Supre Spirit Vein for cultivation and strive for breakthroughs!
Wait for my return, until my cultivation reaches the Establishnt Realm, then I’ll take you along to admire the Outer Domain Dead Sea’s view!" Ye Zhen said.
"You’re lying to , saying it’s a dangerous place, that’s why you’re not taking ..."
"Dangerous? Not quite for . You’re aware of my capabilities, don’t worry!"
"But..."
"Be good, listen to !" Seeing Ye Zhen’s resolute gaze, Feng Qingyue spoke no more.
Yet Feng Qingyue was unaware that within Ye Zhen’s resolute gaze lay the shadow of another woman.
During such monts, Ye Zhen thought of Caiyi, always missing and without news.
Ye Zhen could promise Feng Qingyue, but what about Caiyi?
The Caiyi who vowed to spend their life together until old age?
Unsure where she was, enduring hardships!
The pain of longing, never ceased.
From beginning to end, Ye Zhen never gave up the thought of searching for Caiyi.
Including Ye Zhen’s objective for going to the Outer Domain Dead Sea this ti wasn’t just seeking the Innate Bloodline Enhancent Pill but also included searching for Caiyi.
Of course, Caiyi couldn’t be found within the Outer Domain Dead Sea because Ye Zhen clearly knew then that Caiyi had left the True Profound Continent they were on.
But the problem was that within the True Spirit Domain or Black Dragon Domain, knowledge about the world beyond the True Profound Continent was too little, pitifully little.
It was said that throughout the True Profound Continent, the long-standing islands in the Outer Domain Dead Sea contained the largest collection of ancient books and secret codex, even housing creatures several hundred or thousand years old.
According to Sunx Ba, in the Outer Domain Dead Sea there were even demons that lived for several thousand years.
Because of these, Ye Zhen deliberately ventured into the Outer Domain Dead Sea, stating searching for the Innate Bloodline Enhancent Pill was rely a secondary objective.
Seeking information about the world beyond the True Profound Continent and ways to leave the True Profound Continent were Ye Zhan’s true reasons for heading to the Outer Domain Dead Sea!
With imminent departure, a night of passion was indescribable.
In the dark pre-dawn hours, Ye Zhen quietly rose, packed up the luggage Feng Qingyue long prepared for him, then walked to Feng Qingyue’s bedside, tucked her in, and gently kissed her forehead, then turned to exit.
As Ye Zhen pushed the door open, Feng Qingyue abruptly opened her eyes, softly calling out, "Husband, take care along the way, co back soon!"
Without turning back, Ye Zhen trembled slightly, nodded heavily, and his figure imdiately vanished into the night.
With deep affection from Feng Qingyue, yet Ye Zhen’s journey held other intentions, causing him a touch of guilt.
"Seems, I must find a ti to tell her about Caiyi!"
Up high, Ye Zhen sighed softly and mounted the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, looking towards the north.
Destination—Wangtian Port, seeking the heavens! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welco to qidian to cast votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
