Li Xiu was still unable to clear his thoughts. After blowing so sea wind without detecting any Demon Spirit approaching the ship, he resigned himself to returning to his room for rest.
For the remaining days, he didn’t encounter any Divine Position Demon Spirit again. Li Xiu’s hopes of ascending to Divine Position before reaching Celestial Sea were completely dashed.
Today was already the last day as ntioned by the President. Li Xiu sat on his bed, looking at the jug of wine on the table, feeling sowhat hesitant in his heart.
Now, he could clearly sense his increasing sensitivity to the ship, even perceiving the conditions of every location inside it.
The President and the stranger were drinking and chatting in the cabin, yet even in his room, Li Xiu could clearly sense everything but did not hear any useful information.
Li Xiu realized that the President and the stranger probably knew about his current situation too.
Curiously, although Li Xiu could clearly perceive the entire ship, when the knocking sound ca, he couldn’t sense anything outside, as if there was no one there.
"Today is the last opportunity, should I drink the wine?" Looking at the wine jug on the table, Li Xiu eventually chose to give up.
Despite all the signs seemingly proving the stranger’s words right, Li Xiu still believed that wasn’t the whole truth, as he found the President more reliable than the stranger.
"Hey lad, co out, we’ve arrived." The President’s voice called from the deck.
Li Xiu walked out of the room and onto the deck, imdiately astounded by the sight before him.
Previously, he didn’t understand; the Dead Sea itself was an ocean, and the Celestial Sea was also an ocean, so how could there be another sea within the sea? Now, he finally understood why the place was called Celestial Sea.
Above the ship, Li Xiu saw a blue ocean that seed to be floating in the sky.
No, it shouldn’t be said to be floating; the ocean overhead was more like a world reflected by a mirror, and in the ocean above, there was an inverted island. That must be the place they were headed.
The ship sailed between the seas; the stranger also ca onto the deck, a subtle flash of anxiety passing through his gaze when he looked at Li Xiu.
His gaze swept over Li Xiu’s face but ultimately said nothing as he walked to the President, chuckling, "Sixty years, finally back here again."
"How many tis have we co here in total?" The President asked, looking at the distant Celestial Sea Island.
"Forgotten, my mory has always been poor; in thousands of years, surely it’s been at least dozens of tis." The stranger sighed, "Hopefully this is the last ti."
"It should be the last ti." The President’s eyes burned as he stared at the island.
"True, with soone like you helping, this should be the last ti." The stranger’s expression was extrely complex, appearing sowhat forlorn yet relieved.
Afterward, neither of them said anything as the ship continued onward, arriving directly beneath the island.
From afar, the island didn’t seem particularly majestic; but up close, Li Xiu truly felt its overwhelming impact.
On the island, mountains stretched continuously, each peak perhaps thousands of ters high; each mountain was unique: so covered with white snow, so in full bloom, so with lush green leaves, others with yellow leaves drifting.
As if the island exhibited the four seasons of spring, sumr, autumn, and winter.
However, Li Xiu couldn’t see any buildings on the island, nor any Demon Spirits; not even a bird or beast.
The island was like a bizarrely exquisite painting; beautiful yet devoid of true vitality.
The ship stopped directly below the island, and as Li Xiu marveled at the peculiar beauty of Celestial Sea Island, he heard the sound of bubbling, like countless little bubbles bursting continuously.
Li Xiu looked toward the Dead Sea, seeing the ship surrounded by countless bubbles rising from the seabed and exploding upon reaching the surface.
Even more astonishing was the dim light Li Xiu perceived from the deep sea, slowly rising, becoming increasingly intense, illuminating the surrounding waters brightly.
The originally black seawater turned transparent under the light’s illumination, revealing a massive sun-like light gradually approaching the sea surface.
The scene of the sun rising from the seabed was sothing Li Xiu had never witnessed in his lifeti, and today he finally saw it firsthand.
"Farewell old friend, it’s ti for us to go." The President stood at the bow, calling Li Xiu, and then leaped directly into the radiant sea.
Li Xiu was sowhat puzzled. With Celestial Sea Island overhead, why did the President leap into the sea instead?
Watching the President amid the countless bubbling seawater, slowly sinking toward the seabed’s giant, sun-like light sphere, then gradually dissolving into its brilliance.
Li Xiu stepped onto the bow, intending to follow, but then heard the stranger behind him say, "This is your last chance; you can still turn back now."
Li Xiu said nothing and jumped directly down.
Although the path ahead was still unseen, Li Xiu wanted to discover what lay ahead; he didn’t want to spend his life confined within a circle.
Upon entering the sea, Li Xiu found the water not as intense as expected.
