Lin Bai and Lin Ye traveled together, and Lin Bai took out a map for a look before heading directly towards the direction of Sky Sword City.
"We’ve lingered in Black Water City for more than two months. I wonder if we can make it to the Sky Sword City Competition in ti!" Lin Bai took a deep breath and put away the map.
At this mont, Lin Bai turned back to Lin Ye and said, "Lin Ye, for the next half month, I’m afraid we’ll have to travel with all our might; otherwise, we won’t make it to Sky Sword City within the stipulated ti!"
"There’s just one month left for the Sky Sword City Competition."
Lin Bai sped off toward Sky Sword City.
Lin Ye seed to understand Lin Bai’s words and nodded heavily.
All the way, Lin Ye followed closely behind Lin Bai, rushing with all his strength, not making a fuss nor speaking a word throughout the journey.
However, a day later, Lin Bai suddenly noticed Lin Ye falling behind by quite a distance and turned back in surprise, seeing Lin Ye panting heavily, his face flushing red as he rushed to catch up to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai smiled wryly, "I forgot that I have the Five Elents Divine Pill in my body, making my spiritual power five tis that of a regular warrior, while Lin Ye doesn’t have the Five Elents Divine Pill, making it impossible for him to keep up with over a long day’s exhaust of spiritual power!"
Lin Bai shook his head as he spoke.
Lin Ye, panting heavily, ca beside Lin Bai, visibly exhausted and drained of spiritual energy, yet he bore no resentnt towards Lin Bai, only using every ounce of his strength to follow Lin Bai.
"Let’s find a city to buy a spirit boat." Lin Bai suggested with a smile.
Lin Bai also realized that since Lin Ye couldn’t match his speed, making Lin Bai constantly stop and wait wasn’t the solution. The best option was to buy a spirit boat for traveling instead.
With that, Lin Bai continued the journey with Lin Ye.
They trekked across the Northern Continent, searching for a city.
But after flying for half a day, spanning millions of miles of land, Lin Bai still couldn’t find any city.
The Northern Continent is extrely barren, with cities rarely found within millions of miles.
Vast stretches of gobi and deserts.
Unlike the Eastern Continent, where, let alone millions of miles, within tens of thousands of miles there would be three or four cities, the martial arts flourish there.
Compared to the Eastern Continent, the Northern Continent is extrely desolate.
"It seems finding a city isn’t easy at all." Lin Bai shook his head with a wry smile, glancing back at Lin Ye, whose eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
anwhile, Lin Bian could sense that Lin Ye’s spiritual power was already heavily depleted, with only his willpower keeping him going; otherwise, he would have long been left behind by Lin Bai.
At this mont, Lin Bai spotted a spirit boat flying by not far from the cloud top, heading toward the horizon.
"Soone?"
Lin Bai hurriedly took Lin Ye and pursued.
The spirit boat ahead was soaring with full speed, but upon sensing Lin Bai and Lin Ye tailing them, it gradually slowed down, stopping on the cloud top.
At this point, Lin Bai and Lin Ye caught up behind the spirit boat.
An old man in hemp clothing stepped out from the spirit boat, emanating the terrifying power of Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection, and coldly glanced at Lin Bai and Lin Ye, asking in a low voice, "You two have been tailing us for quite so ti; what is your purpose?"
The old man uttered coldly.
Lin Bai smiled and cupped his fists politely, "Senior, we got lost in this barren desert. May I inquire where your spirit boat is heading? Would it be possible to give us a lift to a city?"
The old man paused, his serious expression easing for a mont, and asked, "Are you warriors from the Northern Continent?"
Lin Bai paused and replied, "Aren’t you, Senior, from the Northern Continent?"
The old man nodded, "We co from the Southern Continent, heading to Sky Sword City for the Sword God Family’s Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition. So I’m afraid we can’t take you along."
"Please refrain from following our spirit boat; otherwise, don’t bla us for being impolite."
The old man stated icily.
Lin Bai was delighted upon hearing this, "So you’re heading to Sky Sword City? That’s perfect—we too are going for the competition. If possible, could you take us with you?"
The old man was astonished, glanced at Lin Bai, and said, "You, a re Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer warrior, want to participate in the Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition at Sky Sword City?"
Lin Bai smiled, "Indeed, I want to broaden my horizons!"
"Rest assured, Senior. Once we reach the vicinity of Sky Sword City, I will naturally leave of my own accord and won’t cause you any trouble!"
"As you can see, with both of us traveling on foot, and the distance to Sky Sword City being vast and arduous, it may take us a year and a half just to get there!"
"Please grant us this small favor, Senior!"
Lin Bai pleaded earnestly.
The old man in hemp clothing frowned silently, evidently contemplating.
At this mont, a cold voice ca from within the spirit boat: "Elder Liang, what’s the matter?"
The old man in hemp clothing respectfully responded to the voice within the spirit boat, "Miss, we encountered two warriors heading to Sky Sword City who seek to join us on our spirit boat!"
"Oh?" The cold-voiced woman stepped out of the spirit boat upon hearing this, and saw Lin Bai and Lin Ye.
Lin Bai also saw the woman erging from the spirit boat.
Her deanor was otherworldly, her skin like condensed fat, clear and bright eyes, and sculpted features; her entire white outfit carried the aura of a divine woman.
"A re Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer warrior, since they wish to go to Sky Sword City, take them along." The white-robed woman glanced at Lin Bai, calmly said, and returned to the spirit boat.
"Yes." The old man in hemp clothing acknowledged respectfully, stating, "Two young brothers, my lady has granted permission. Please co aboard!"
"However, rember to follow our rules on the spirit boat."
"Don’t cause trouble; otherwise, be mindful of your lives!"
The old man in hemp clothing warned.
Lin Bai nodded with a smile, "Thank you very much."
Right away, Lin Bai took Lin Ye onto the spirit boat.
Only then did Lin Bai realize that onboard the spirit boat were nurous warriors, roughly a few hundred, nearly all of whom were in the Death Reversal Realm, and Lin Bai could feel the terrifying sword intent emanating from these warriors.
They were all Sword Cultivators.
The old man in hemp clothing ntioned, "The guest rooms on the spirit boat are full; you’ll have to stay on the deck."
Lin Bai responded casually, "It’s fine, having a place to rest is enough."
Lin Bai glanced at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye, unperturbed, walked over to a corner, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and began restoring the spiritual power within his body.
Lin Bai observed the warriors currently on the spirit boat, ranging in age from young to middle-aged, each exuding a terrifying sword intent.
Simultaneously, Lin Bai also noticed the flag hanging on the spirit boat, inscribed with the words "Frostfire"!
