“This … this …”

“Little brother, I see you are an outsider and don’t understand the situation here, but I’m not joking with you. The sea has been rough these past few years. Even if we were to fish, we wouldn’t dare to go too far, and we wouldn’t dare to go out. Look …” The owner of the boat frowned and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

The noise from this side quickly attracted the residents on the dock. Many people were pointing at an outsider like Xiao Chen and whispering about something.

There were too many legends about the East China Sea. Some said that they had seen the Azure Dragon at sea, others said that they had seen the faintly visible Immortal Mountain at sea, and some even said that they had met an immortal at sea. They were favored by the immortals and directly brought to the Penglai Immortal World.

In short, these magnificent legends had become the reason why many people went out to sea to seek immortals. There were many young people who had gone out to sea throughout the ages, but in reality, they had either returned without success or died in the sea. However, no one had ever seen a true immortal before.

At this moment, the crowd was full of discussions. An old man with good intentions said to him, “Young man, I see that you are in a good life, but don’t take any risks. There are no immortals in this sea. It’s better to go back quickly. That sea is too dangerous.”

“That’s right. There are no immortals in this sea. We have lived here all our lives and have never seen any immortals before. Young people should not believe in legends. Safety is the most important thing. Let’s go back quickly.”

Many people in the crowd were trying their best to dissuade this foreign youth. Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, “It doesn’t matter. Shipmaster, sell me that boat.” After saying that, he took out a few silver ingots from his sleeves. Although these items were useless to cultivators, he kept them on hand from time to time so that he could meet his needs.

“This …”

Seeing the silver taels in his hand, the owner of the ship was even more embarrassed. “This … Little brother, it’s not that I’m greedy for your money. However, if you go out to sea, if anything happens, this … I can’t pass it on my conscience …”

Seeing the simplicity of the town’s customs, Xiao Chen smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I am has practiced martial arts since he was young and knows some water. There’s no need for boatmen to worry.”

Seeing that he was insisting on going out to sea, the boat owner had no choice but to say to the few attendants, “Let’s go and take a look at the boat and nail it firmly.” After saying that, he said to the other attendants, “Go up there and prepare two years of fresh water and dry rations for this little brother.”

“Thank you, shipowner.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently. The reason he wanted to buy a ship was not because he hoped that this ship could cross the boundless East China Sea, but because the East China Sea was endless. If he relied solely on his sword, he was afraid that Genuine energy would be exhausted and die at sea before he could fly ten-twelve miles.

Therefore, he wanted a ship to fly normally with a sword. When the wind and waves were calm, he would put the ship from his sleeve into the sea to rest and recover Genuine energy.

Around noon, the shipyard attendant finished inspecting the entire ship inside and outside. After Xiao Chen handed over the money, he immediately went to the ship.

Everyone watched as the sails gradually disappeared. At this moment, they were all discussing. Many people shook their heads and sighed. Perhaps, another corpse was about to appear on the seabed.

The owner of the ship also looked at the surface of the sea where the sails were gradually disappearing. He sighed lightly and said to the servants beside him, “All of you, go back to work.”

By dusk, the journey was peaceful and the boat had long since left the seaside town. At this moment, Xiao Chen was sitting in the cabin. He was not in a hurry to make his way. Instead, he wanted to comprehend the concept he had just comprehended.

Only then did Moon slowly open his eyes after an unknown amount of time had passed when a Xiao Chen rose from the sea and shone brightly on the surface of the sea.

At this moment, there were a few streams of pure Spiritual Energy flowing in his palm. If the Undying Concept was also divided into nine levels, then he was only at the first level.

However, even if he was still at the lowest level of comprehension, this state of mind made his divine sense innumerable sharper and his strength much more mellow than before. In the past, he had to carry out many moves in accordance with Genuine energy’s Heart Arts, but now, he was almost able to execute them with his will.

One had to know that when facing an enemy, if there were two supreme experts with the same cultivation, the outcome would often be instantaneous. Whoever used a killing move first and the opponent could not dodge, then the outcome would be basically decided.

Most importantly, according to his previous battle experience, if it was just an ordinary move and the speed was too slow, then the opponent would have enough time to deal with it. If he encountered a person with a keen spiritual sense, the opponent would be able to instantly discern all of the moves of the person who made the move, so that he could attack later.

However, now that he had comprehended the Concept that belonged to him, he could finally use his will to execute his moves. His speed and style were far too fast to be compared to an ordinary method of using Genuine energy’s Silent Heart Technique.

At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the slowly flowing Spiritual Energy in his palm. He still felt that this Spiritual Energy was not pure enough. He had even thought that if his previous cultivation base was dispersed and he started cultivating again, then his Concept would be the purest. However, now that he was in the sea, he was going to the Eastern Cultivation World to search for the Fusang Flower. He did not dare to take this risk.

A month passed like this. The days at sea were really boring. During the day, he put the boat into his sleeves and flew with his sword. When he was tired at night, he released the boat and went to the cabin to comprehend the Concept. Day after day, he didn’t know where he was now.

That night, the stars and moons were dim. He was still sitting in the cabin as usual, comprehending the second level of the Undying Concept. If he had comprehended this Concept before, then there would definitely not have been such a terrible situation when he was at Zhongyue Feng.

However, all of this was certain. If it weren’t for the fact that he had experienced a lot before this and looked at the prosperity and decline of the human world, how could he have comprehended the Undying Concept from a stone after arriving at the edge of the East China Sea this time?

At this moment, the moonlight outside was gloomy. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky. The waves gently slammed against the ship’s side. Gradually, it was unknown how long had passed. The sound of the waves grew faster and faster, and the hull of the ship began to shake.

At this moment, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and went to the deck outside. Suddenly, a fishy wind pounced on him, causing the ship’s hull to shake even more violently.

Xiao Chen immediately put away the sails and looked into the distance. Suddenly, white waves surged into the sky, and waves surged from layer to layer.

“What’s going on?”

Seeing that the waves were getting more and more turbulent, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. His divine sense instantly stretched out ten kilometers away, even beneath the sea. He did not see any fish demons. Instead, it was a faint Spiritual Energy, but he could not find the source of this Spiritual Energy.

“Why is there a sudden surge of Spiritual Energy at sea?”

The tide was getting fiercer and fiercer. Xiao Chen was worried that the ship would not be able to withstand it. He immediately put it into his sleeve and instantly took out his flying sword. He rode the sword towards the direction where the Spiritual Energy was coming from.
