164: Cross the starry sky! Arrive at the sea boundary!

“The World Sea will open in three days. You can depart now…”

Four Seas Sect is quite far from the World Sea. If they rushed there at the last minute, they wouldn't make it in time, so they had to depart three days in advance.

“A total of twelve Disciples from my Four Seas Sect are heading to the World Sea this time, and they are all here now.”

Xiang Zhizhou spoke, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Disciples below, a faint smile on his face.

“Li Qi, Liao Shi.”

“Disciple is here!”

“Disciple is here!”

Two figures stepped forward and bowed.

Xiang Zhizhou continued, “On this trip to the World Sea, all Disciples will be led by the two of you. Do not disappoint this Sect Leader!”

“Disciple understands.”

Arranging for Li Qi and Liao Shi to lead the team was a decision Xiang Zhizhou made after careful consideration.

First, Li Qi was the strongest among these twelve. Not only had his Martial Dao cultivation reached the Nascent Divinity Realm - Peak Stage, but his achievements in the Cultivation Dao were equally astonishing!

Although Li Qi concealed himself very well, Xiang Zhizhou still saw through him: Li Qi was already a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage!

He was a genuine Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator!

Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage are equivalent to Martial Artists at the Divine Soul Realm, and the top Nascent Soul Grand Cultivators can even suppress powerhouses at the Yan Fa Realm, possessing extremely strong power!

Li Qi possessed dual Earth-grade Aptitude and cultivated both Martial Dao and Cultivation Dao. Such power would undoubtedly make him the strongest presence in the World Sea! Li Qi was the Four Seas Sect’s trump card!

Although he had seen Li Qi’s true power, Xiang Zhizhou was inwardly shocked but showed no expression. He turned his gaze to another Disciple among the twelve.

Liao Shi, also at the Nascent Divinity Realm - Peak Stage, was also a very important Disciple.

Although he was much weaker than Li Qi, Liao Shi had been to the World Sea three times and was experienced and very familiar with it. With this Disciple accompanying them, Xiang Zhizhou felt much more at ease.

“Alright, time is almost up. You may depart.”

“The flying boat for this trip to the World Sea has been prepared, and there are also two Elders from the School accompanying you. This Sect Leader will wait for your return here. Do not disappoint this Sect Leader.”

“We will not fail the Sect Leader’s expectations!”

All the Disciples shouted in unison and soon left the main hall. When they arrived outside, a dark flying boat was already parked there.

And on this flying boat, two white-haired Elders were already standing, clearly the Elders who would escort the Disciples to the World Sea.

“Little ones, hurry up and board.”

One Elder shouted, and the twelve Disciples leaped up, boarding the flying boat.

The dark flying boat soared into the sky, flying outwards, and soon left the Four Seas Sect, heading towards the vast sky.

The flying boat flew higher and higher, quickly passing through the atmosphere and entering the starry sky!

The World Sea is not within the Immortal Martial World… but deep in the starry sky!

On the deck of the flying boat, the Disciples stood before the two Elders. One Elder spoke, “This old man’s name is Zhuge Yong. I am an Elder of Four Seas Sect, and I will be escorting you to the World Sea this time.”

“And this is Long Songyi.”

Zhuge Yong introduced everyone. The Elder named Long Songyi seemed a bit silent, only nodding to everyone as a greeting.

After the Elders briefly spoke with the Disciples, they told the Disciples to find rooms in the cabin to stay in. The journey was long, requiring three days to reach their destination.

Soon, Liao Shi came looking for him. There was a knock on the door: “Senior Brother Li, are you there? It’s Liao Shi.”

“Come in.”

Liao Shi pushed the door open and entered, chuckling, “Senior Brother Li, I apologize for the intrusion.”

“Brother Liao, please have a seat.”

After they both sat down, Liao Shi was the first to speak, “Senior Brother Li, before coming here, the Sect Leader had instructed me to take Senior Brother Li as the lead for this trip. This journey to the World Sea… I ask for Senior Brother Li’s guidance.”

“Brother Liao, you are too polite. We should all help each other.”

The two were not far apart in age and quickly became familiar with each other, then began discussing business.

“Does Li Qi know what the World Sea used to be?”

“I truly do not know.”

“In the distant past, the World Sea was not called the World Sea… but the Five Directions World!”

“Five Directions World?”

“Yes, the Five Directions World!”

“This Five Directions World was truly extraordinary, with countless powerhouses, and its strength was not at all inferior to my Immortal Martial World.”

“But due to some unknown reasons, the Five Directions World was destroyed… The shattered world continuously evolved, gradually transforming into the World Sea. The World Sea is re-nurturing a new world.”

“Isn’t it magical?”

“It’s like a tender sprout regaining vitality, growing anew from the wreckage.”

Liao Shi’s eyes sparkled, his spirits soaring: “So, some people often salvage relics from the Five Directions World in the World Sea. Those are incredible treasures.”

Li Qi nodded: “So that’s how it is.”

And Liao Shi continued, “The World Sea is vast and constantly in a state of turmoil. Only every five years is there a seven-day calm period. During this time, various Schools and forces send people to enter and mine resources.”

“Our Four Seas Sect has twelve slots, which is quite a lot. Some smaller forces only have one or two slots.”

As soon as the topic of forces entering the World Sea came up, Li Qi remembered that the Sect Leader had told him that people from hostile forces would also enter. He immediately asked, “Which are the hostile forces of my Four Seas Sect?”

Liao Shi smiled faintly: “This is what I was about to tell you, Senior Brother. The relationship between our Four Seas Sect and other Schools and forces is generally good, so you don't need to worry about them. However, there are two forces you must pay attention to.”

“One is the Evil Shadow Sect, and the other is Death Valley. If you encounter people from these two forces, you must be careful. Their malice towards us is not small.”

Li Qi slowly nodded: “Understood.”

Liao Shi could be called the World Sea's encyclopedia. He told Li Qi many things about the World Sea. Although Li Qi had also collected information about the World Sea, with the added information provided by Liao Shi, he understood the World Sea even better.

Days passed, and Li Qi spent most of his time cultivating in his room. During this period, Disciples often moved around, and Li Qi became quite familiar with his fellow Disciples.

The black flying boat was named Ling Guang Star Boat, one of the fastest flying boats in the Four Seas Sect. Under the control of the two Elders, its speed was even faster, almost no slower than Li Qi’s speed when he used Thundercloud Traversal.

After flying at such a high speed for three days, they finally reached the edge of the World Sea.

This was deep in the starry sky. Li Qi stood on the deck of the Ling Guang Star Boat. Outside the Ling Guang Star Boat was a transparent Protective Aura shield, and the harsh environment of the starry sky did not affect anyone inside.

Looking back from the Ling Guang Star Boat, it was a deep and dim starry sky, with twinkling starlight visible within.

And the Immortal Martial World had already become a white speck of light the size of a fingernail in the starry sky!

“Li Qi, this is your first time in the starry sky, isn’t it?”

Elder Zhuge Yong walked out of the cabin and slowly said.

Li Qi turned around and bowed to the Elder: “Elder is correct. This Disciple is indeed experiencing the starry sky for the first time.”

Zhuge Yong laughed heartily: “Excellent, excellent. You are now at the Nascent Divinity Realm - Peak Stage, and your Aptitude is truly remarkable.”

“Once you Breakthrough to the World King Realm, you yourself will be a world, a master of a realm. At that time, even without the aid of this Ling Guang Star Boat… you will be able to traverse this boundless starry sky with your Physical Body.”

A hint of realization flashed in Li Qi’s eyes, and he respectfully thanked him: “Disciple thanks Elder for the guidance.”

Zhuge Yong had a very good impression of Li Qi, knowing that Li Qi had extraordinary potential, and intentionally offered more advice.

The Ling Guang Star Boat continued to travel, getting closer and closer to the World Sea. Li Qi looked towards the front of the star boat, and the World Sea was already close at hand, completely filling Li Qi’s vision.

This was a vast blue world!

As far as the eye could see, this world was an ocean, with scattered islands dotted within the azure expanse.

“Alright, we’ve arrived. We’ll be entering the World Sea soon.” Zhuge Yong, who was beside him, reminded Li Qi.

At this moment, the Disciples in the cabin also came out one after another. Everyone stood on the deck, looking at the World Sea that was now close at hand.

At the same time, everyone saw dozens of other flying boats also arriving at the outer perimeter of the World Sea.

Figures moved on these flying boats; they were all people from various forces heading to the World Sea.

“The World Sea will open very soon. Get ready.”
