104: Head to the Endless Sea

The years spent in the underground karst cave were tedious and long.

Shen Yuanmo was completely immersed in his Cultivation, forgetting the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, a month quietly passed.

On this day, Shen Yuanmo, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

"Boom!"

A terrifying aura, far more powerful, condensed, and flawlessly complete than before, erupted from his body!

The entire karst cave trembled violently under the impact of this aura, and countless stone chips fell rustling from the cave walls.

Not only had his injuries fully healed.

His cultivation base had also advanced further after being tempered by that life-and-death bloody battle and refined by a month of arduous Cultivation!

Although he was still at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he could feel that the Glazed True Yang Mana within his body was at least thirty percent purer than before!

The Vajra Glazed Body also successfully Broke Through to the Second Layer after being honed during this period, causing his Physical Body strength to surge once more!

Now, relying solely on his Physical Body strength, he could probably easily shatter a Third Tier Low Grade Magic Treasure!

However, his greatest gain was his Divine Sense.

After comprehending the Great Dream Eternal Art, he integrated its essence into his Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Art.

The combination of the two complemented each other, allowing his Divine Sense Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!

Although his Sea of Consciousness now appeared slightly smaller than before.

The golden Divine Sense liquid had become stickier and more radiant, seemingly transforming into true liquid gold, and the power contained within it was incomparable!

"If I were to face a Golden Core Great Perfection like Ghost Shadow now..."

A powerful sense of confidence flashed in Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

"Even without using a Formation, I have a seventy percent certainty of killing him head-on!"

This was the confidence brought by a leap in strength!

"It's time to leave."

Shen Yuanmo stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, causing the bones in his entire body to emit a series of crackling sounds.

He removed the Restriction at the cave entrance, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared outside the karst cave.

The world outside was still the silent Black Miasma Swamp.

But Shen Yuanmo's Heart-Nature was completely different.

He did not linger any longer, summoning his Black Flying Boat, turning into a streak of light, soaring into the sky, and speeding toward the east.

That direction led to the Endless Sea... The Endless Sea is the largest and most mysterious sea region in the Chiming Realm.

Its area is more than ten times larger than the entire Tianyuan Continent.

In the sea, not only do countless powerful Sea Beasts live, but countless Secret Realms and dangerous lands left over from ancient times are also hidden.

Even a Nascent Soul True Lord would not dare to easily venture deep inside.

One month later.

When the boundless blue replaced the continuous black mountain range and appeared at the end of his sight.

Shen Yuanmo knew he had arrived.

A salty, humid, and fishy sea breeze, filled with rich Water Spiritual Qi, blew toward him.

The sea surface below was turbulent, rolling up a thousand piles of snow.

In the sky, enormous Seabirds occasionally let out loud cries as they whistled past.

"Such dense Spiritual Qi!"

Shen Yuanmo took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and delighted.

Although the Spiritual Qi density here was not comparable to Qingzhou Prefecture City, it was several times denser than Baiyue Prefecture!

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi contained pure Water Element Power, making this a Blessed Land for Cultivators who practice Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques.

Shen Yuanmo did not linger long by the coast.

He took out the Ancient Scroll he had obtained from the One-Eyed Old Monk, which recorded the Five Elements Ruins, and compared it with the Sea Chart of the Endless Sea that he had purchased.

Soon, in a corner of the Sea Chart, he found an area whose distribution of Earth Vein Energy was extremely similar to that on the scroll.

That was a red sea region located deep within the Endless Sea, marked as "Extremely Dangerous."

"The Five Elements Island Chain..."

Shen Yuanmo looked at the name on the Sea Chart and murmured softly.

According to the Sea Chart's annotation, that sea region was perpetually shrouded by five types of terrifying storms of different attributes: Geng Metal Astral Wind, Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Kui Water Yin Fiend, Bing Fire Yang Flame, and Wu Earth Heavy Pressure.

The five types of storms intertwined, forming a natural Death Zone.

Let alone a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even a Golden Core True Person would face ten deaths and no life if they mistakenly entered it!

"It seems this is the place."

A look of determination flashed in Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

He knew that the more dangerous a place was, the greater the Opportunity it often held.

That legendary Heaven and Earth Wonder was very likely hidden within this Death Zone!

He put away the Sea Chart and the scroll, and activated the Flying Boat's Defensive Barrier to its maximum.

Then, gritting his teeth, he piloted the Flying Boat and plunged straight into the Five Elements Island Chain, which was full of the unknown and danger!

"Rumble!"

Just upon entering the periphery of the Five Elements Island Chain, a violent torrent of energy rushed toward him!

The Flying Boat's Defensive Barrier trembled violently under the impact of this energy, making creaking sounds, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Shen Yuanmo's expression changed, and he quickly injected the Glazed True Yang Mana from his body continuously into the core of the Flying Boat, barely stabilizing the barrier.

He looked outside.

He saw that the surrounding sea region had completely changed color.

To the left were countless Golden Wind Blades, formed by condensed pure Metal Element Spiritual Qi, sharper than Flying Swords, whistling back and forth, cutting fine black cracks into the very space.

To the right were countless bolts of Azure Lightning, the size of bowls, descending from the sky like madly dancing Thunder Dragons, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.

Ahead was Black Yin Fiend Qi, capable of freezing the Divine Soul; wherever it passed, even the seawater was frozen into black solid ice.

Behind him were fiercely burning Crimson Flames, scorching half the sky red.

And above his head, an invisible, extremely heavy Gravitational Force descended from the sky, slowing the Flying Boat's speed by several times!

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!

Five types of energy, violent to the extreme, formed a chaotic yet balanced, Strange Force Field here!

"What a terrifying place!"

Even with Shen Yuanmo's resilient Heart-Nature, seeing this scene made his scalp tingle.

He had no doubt that if he were to remove the Flying Boat's defense now, relying solely on his Physical Body, he wouldn't last even a single breath before being torn to shreds by this violent Five Elements Power!

He cautiously piloted the Flying Boat, navigating with difficulty through this Death Zone.

While resisting the terrifying attacks coming from all directions, he also had to search for the true entrance to the Five Elements Ruins according to the guidance of the Incomplete Map.

This process was a huge test for both his Mana and Divine Sense.

Time passed little by little during the tense navigation.

One day... two days... Just as Shen Yuanmo felt the Mana in his body was about to be completely depleted.

His Divine Sense finally captured a trace of Spatial Fluctuation ahead, extremely weak, yet distinct, within the chaotic energy storm!

"I found it!"

A sharp light flashed in Shen Yuanmo's eyes, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face!

He took out a Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch to restore Mana, recovering his own Mana, and pushed the Flying Boat's speed to the maximum, charging toward the source of the Spatial Fluctuation!
