第四卷 七星岛 第五百四十九章 无边云海

A few days later, the mountain wall trembled. Pebbles fell down one after another.

Then a flash of green light appeared, and Lin Xuan flew out from inside the mountain wall.

Unlike when he teleported here earlier, his cultivation had now fully recovered, giving him a good complexion.

Moreover, what pleased Lin Xuan was that Moon had also returned to normal. This way, there would be no worries in the future. After all, this was an unfamiliar place where he knew nothing about it. But as long as one had strength, they naturally wouldn't fear anything.

The pressing matter now was to figure out exactly where he was and how advanced the cultivation level of this place was, as well as the distribution of various factions.

To know both oneself and the enemy led to a hundred victories in battle. Only by understanding these situations could Lin Xuan decide his next move.

After all, cultivation wasn't just about finding a spirit vein and closing himself off for meditation.

Moreover, good spirit veins weren’t easy to find; most were already occupied by various sects and families.

He was no longer the one who had little need of spirit herbs. Here, he was just an outsider in this unfamiliar place.

Fortunately, with Moon accompanying him as a late-stage Condensation Core cultivator, Lin Xuan didn't feel alone or helpless.

With that thought, Lin Xuan's body emitted a bright green light and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the distance.

After a short while, he saw a city. The streak of light slowed down but did not stop.

Although asking people for information was also an option, before doing so, Lin Xuan decided to take a tour around this place first, getting a general understanding and then verifying it with what he heard.

Thus, he flew for about half a day.

"Eh?"

The green light trembled as it suddenly stopped. The light faded, revealing Lin Xuan's shocked expression.

The area where he was located seemed much smaller than the continent. Saying that this place was an island wasn't entirely accurate; it was just a slightly larger piece of land.

But what truly surprised Lin Xuan was not the size but the scene before his eyes.

He stood on a small island, looking out at a vast expanse of white clouds stretching endlessly.

"What's going on here?"

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment. He shot forward in a streak of light and grabbed a small piece of cloud to examine it closely. It was indeed just like the clouds in Yunzhou.

But this was too big.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes, fully releasing his divine sense. Within several dozen miles, the white cloud sea stretched endlessly, giving him the feeling of an endless ocean. The small island floated above this strange and boundless cloud sea.

Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely puzzled. Since he had entered the immortal path, he had seen many extraordinary things, but this place was too mysterious.

But soon, Lin Xuan's face calmed down. He realized that being shocked wouldn't help. So he turned around and flew to the other side of the island.

After a day, Lin Xuan had flown across the entire small island, only to find endless white clouds stretching endlessly on the opposite side as well.

Lin Xuan changed direction again.

Over several days, Lin Xuan circled the entire island. It was indeed not large and could hardly compare to Yunzhou. Even compared to Yanzhou where Drifting Cloud Valley was located, it was smaller.

However, for an island, such an area was acceptable.

What was strange was that around the perimeter, instead of a vast blue sea, there was a layer of white cloud sea.

It felt as if the small island was floating in the sky, supported by this boundless and peculiar cloud sea.

Of course, this was just Lin Xuan's guess. He had even dived into the cloud sea to explore it but found that the cloud sea was indeed deep. The deeper he went, the greater the resistance. At about a thousand feet down, the force from all directions made him feel overwhelmed.

He didn't give up on his search.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's expression turned serious as he hovered in the sky. But soon, his face relaxed as he rubbed his head: "What am I doing here? Asking someone would clarify everything."

With a self-murmured sentence, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He flew towards the center of the island. Although he didn't fully understand this place, and the cloud sea seemed endless, Lin Xuan believed that there had to be more than one small island here, with some having larger areas.

Otherwise, after all the effort he put in to teleport here, it would have been a waste.

Although he had discovered several spirit veins during his flight, cultivation wasn't just about abundant spiritual energy. Crystals, pills, and various materials were essential.

Generally speaking, the wider an area was, the higher the probability of finding precious treasures. This small island was smaller than Yanzhou, so it could be assumed that the resources for cultivation would be scarce. Staying here temporarily might work, but prolonged cultivation wouldn't be a wise choice.

As he flew, Lin Xuan pondered. With his exceptional memory from cultivation, he didn’t worry about getting lost.

He clearly remembered the positions of several cities on this island and was now flying towards the closest one.

After half an hour,

A stretch of green stone walls came into view. Lin Xuan’s light faded as he chose a secluded spot to slowly descend.

Not wanting to reveal his identity in this unfamiliar place, Lin Xuan took out a Concealment Pill from his pocket, using it to suppress his spiritual energy.

He gathered all the spiritual energy within him until there was none left, making his steps light and his eyes hazy. Even an old monster at the Core Formation stage would certainly see him as just an ordinary mortal.

Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction; his little tricks were becoming more and more perfect.

He took out a storage bag from his waist to conceal any faint spiritual energy and put it in his pocket. With no flaws left, Lin Xuan walked confidently into the city.

The city gate was bustling with people coming and going. Lin Xuan wore a calm expression as he saw two strange characters carved above the gate, different from those in Yunzhou. Fortunately, these were ancient script.

Stone.

This should be the name of this city. Next, Lin Xuan listened carefully to nearby conversations; although the sounds were somewhat unusual, after careful identification, he could barely understand them. This relieved him as there was no obstacle with words and texts. Otherwise, it would have been a real hassle.

Although he suppressed his spiritual energy, it didn’t affect his ability to release a thread of divine sense. After scanning, he found that the area around was filled with ordinary mortals; there were no cultivators. Lin Xuan felt relieved as he walked towards the city gate.
