第两千五百二十五章 无边海与缥缈仙宫

Chapter 2525: Boundless Sea and Ethereal Immortal Palace

The number of cultivators had increased significantly, making Mingxue City more bustling than before. However, this had little to do with Lin Xuan.

He walked directly towards a building called "Instantaneous Pavilion" in the city.

Instantaneous Pavilion was named after its ability to teleport over a thousand miles within an instant. It housed several teleportation arrays, which justified its name.

When Lin Xuan first arrived at this place, he had stayed for some time in Mingxue City but hadn't visited Instantaneous Pavilion. Nevertheless, he knew the general location of it.

According to the rules of the Immortal City, there were naturally restrictions on air travel here. Although these had no effect on Lin Xuan, he didn’t want to cause a stir and thus summoned a carriage with a simple wave.

"Take me to Instantaneous Pavilion."

After saying this, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and rested, wearing an expression of extreme indifference.

The driver was a low-rank Flexible Spirit Period cultivator who earned a little bit of crystal stones from such trips. Seeing the profound power emanating from Lin Xuan’s body, he recognized him as a senior expert and thus did not dare to say much more. He obediently drove towards Instantaneous Pavilion.

Half an hour later.

"Senior, we have arrived."

The driver's cautious voice reached his ears.

Lin Xuan raised his head and saw before him a magnificent building adorned with gold, covering several acres of land. It was grand and imposing. A golden plaque above the entrance read in flowing script: Instantaneous Pavilion.

"Alright."

Nodding, Lin Xuan showed satisfaction on his face. He waved his sleeve, and two red crystal stones flew out. The driver quickly caught them.

"Middle-grade crystal stones, and they are fire-type."

The cultivator was delighted. Usually, he would only get five or six lower-grade crystal stones from such a trip. This senior was cold but generous with his money. Before he could thank Lin Xuan, the latter had already entered Instantaneous Pavilion.

In contrast to its grand exterior, the interior was much more intricate and refined.

Lin Xuan had just stepped inside when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. A young woman in a light green robe approached him gracefully.

Bowing slightly, she said with a gentle smile: "Greetings, senior. I wonder where you wish to be teleported? Is there anything my servant can assist you with?"

Lin Xuan scanned his surroundings and noticed that only high-ranking cultivators like himself were greeted by such service. Other cultivators could only envy but not envy.

"I need to go to the Ethereal Immortal Island."

Lin Xuan spoke emotionlessly.

The Ice Sea region, whether in terms of territory or power between human and demon races, was far less than Naelong Region. However, it was no small matter. The exact size was difficult for ordinary cultivators to determine.

And the largest sect in this region, Ethereal Immortal Palace, was said to be located deep within the Boundless Sea.

The name "Boundless Sea" suggested its vastness, dotted with countless islands. While Ethereal Immortal Island might not have been the largest, it was undoubtedly the most famous because Ethereal Immortal Palace resided there.

Apart from being one of the largest sects among humans, the technique for crafting composite puppets attracted many cultivators who were eager to obtain such a puppet. In critical moments, its combat power could save your life.

Thus, many cultivators sought it out.

However, few succeeded in their quest.

Firstly, the price of composite puppets was exorbitant; ordinary cultivators couldn’t afford them and could only envy from afar. Secondly, even if one had a substantial wealth, such beings required high cultivation levels that ordinary composites couldn't match.

But Ethereal Immortal Palace wasn't willing to sell genuine items either.

Nonetheless, the number of cultivators traveling there every year was still considerable. Even if they didn’t get what they wanted, gaining knowledge and broadening their horizons had its benefits.

Hearing Lin Xuan’s destination, the young woman did not show much interest but sighed apologetically: "I’m sorry, senior. Our city's teleportation array doesn't lead directly to Ethereal Immortal Island. Perhaps I can find a nearby area for you and we can teleport several times."

"Oh?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback but quickly recovered. With his extensive knowledge, he knew that teleportation arrays weren’t omnipotent; one couldn’t go anywhere they wanted. Each array required significant resources to establish, so multiple stops were often necessary.

This reduced the number of arrays needed but had its drawbacks. Not only was it inconvenient for transfers, but each teleportation cost more crystal stones than a single trip, which many cultivators found troublesome.

However, this wasn’t an issue for Lin Xuan with his substantial wealth. He could afford to teleport however he pleased.

Seeing no objections from Lin Xuan, the woman led him into a room where two other cultivators of Core Formation Stage were present. They greeted him respectfully.

After paying a large sum of crystal stones, Lin Xuan activated the array. The light glowed as he disappeared in a whirring sound.

...

The rest of the journey was unremarkable. After repeated teleportations, on this day, Lin Xuan finally approached his destination.

He didn’t reach it but rather got close because during his last teleportation, he was informed that the famous Ethereal Immortal Island did not have any teleportation arrays.

This result left Lin Xuan speechless and somewhat doubtful, but regardless, there was no need to delve deeper. He was already near his goal.

The final island, though far from comparable to Ethereal Immortal Island, still had many cultivators living on it. Lin Xuan bought a map of the sea in the market and released his flying artifact, quickly disappearing into the depths of the vast ocean.

Legends said that there were numerous monsters in the Boundless Sea, especially deep within it. However, this journey was smooth as the area covered several million miles belonged to Ethereal Immortal Palace’s territory. How could they allow demon races to thrive unchecked? The original inhabitants had either been hunted or migrated elsewhere!

Thus, he encountered only ordinary sea creatures and no demons during his flight. He did come across a few disputes between cultivators but stayed out of it.

The most amusing incident was when some unobservant cultivators tried to provoke him. The outcome was predictable: "No provocation, no retaliation." But anyone who dared to provoke Lin Xuan would face dire consequences.

Amidst the vast and endless sea, the scenery was magnificent, especially at sunrise which was particularly beautiful. However, after a fortnight of flying, he finally saw an enormous island ahead!
