Mo Tiange stood in the air above the sea and silently gazed at the vast ocean below.
This was where the South Pole Island used to be, but now, there was no trace of the island at all, not even a reef.
In the vast sea, there were many miraculous things. It was normal for islands to disappear. Some islands disappeared overnight, while others suddenly reappeared. Like the South Pole Island, which appeared and disappeared because of a volcano many years ago, it wasn't strange at all.
However, what happened to the other islands had nothing to do with Mo Tiange. This South Pole Island, on the other hand, was the link between the Celestial Pole and Yunzhong!
The South Pole Island had disappeared, and the passage was gone. How could they go back to the Celestial Pole?
Mo Tiange didn't know that ever since she heard this news, she had been at a loss for several days.
There was no doubt that he had to return to the Celestial Pole.
She wasn't Nie Wushang. She had a master, relatives, and lover in the Celestial Pole, so how could she cast them aside as if they had nothing?
However, how could they go back to the Celestial Pole?
The South Pole Island had disappeared, and the passage no longer existed. Didn't that mean he had to cross the South Sea like Nie Wushang?
However, even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't guarantee their safety in crossing the South Sea. Could it be that she was hoping to have the same luck as Nie Wushang?
Luck was luck because it didn't necessarily come. If she saw Nie Wushang safely crossing the South Sea and rashly tried it, it would be too risky!
She wanted to return to the Celestial Pole, but she absolutely didn't want to risk her life like this.
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange heaved a sigh and untied the spiritual beast pouch tied around her waist.
"Master." Lil Fan's cyan body came out of the Spirit Beast Bag.
It was a sea beast. As soon as it came out of the spirit beast bag, it keenly smelled the scent of the sea and was overjoyed. "Master, where is this?"
Mo Tiange gently patted its head and said, "Xiaofan, this is where we came from, remember?"
"Huh?" Yifan blinked her eyes in confusion. "Where did you come from?"
Mo Tiange said, "It's the place where we came to Yunzhong through the underground sewer."
Upon hearing what she said, Yifan quickly understood and said in amazement, "Master, you mean —" It turned its head to look around, but all it saw was the vast sea and the North Pole Island not far away. "Where's that hot spring?
The island disappeared? "
Mo Tiange nodded.
Lil Fan lived in the sea all year round, so it was easy for it to understand the disappearance of the island.
"What should we do?" Yifan wagged her tail and jumped around her. "Can't we go back?
Can't I go to Donghai in the future?
Would I never see Grandpa again?
No, no, I don't want it. I … Master, what should I do? "
Looking at the extremely anxious Xiaofan, Mo Tiange smiled bitterly. How would she know what to do?
This kind of thing was beyond a human's ability!
"Go down and take a look."
After a while, she said, "I wonder if this island has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Go down and see if the passage is still there."
"Yes!"
Hearing her words, Yifan was overjoyed. "How could I forget? The island sank. Maybe it's just this part of the passage that's broken. Maybe it can be reopened.
Master, I'm going! "
After saying that, Yifan hurriedly dove down, and with a "hua la" sound, it drilled into the sea. With a flick of its cyan tail, it swiftly dived down.
Mo Tiange was left standing in the sea breeze, still speechless.
Although she let Yifan go down to find the passage, she actually did not have much hope in her heart.
What happened in the vast sea was beyond the reach of a human's ability.
That passage led to the bottom of the sea. How could an island be destroyed by a volcanic eruption?
She was afraid that the lava would pour back into the passage when it erupted and completely block it.
If this was on land, it would be fine. At worst, she could break mountains and rocks and search slowly. But this was the sea. Even if she was a high level cultivator and could dive into the sea for a short time, she could not open a passage at the bottom of the sea!
The reason why she let Yifan go down to look for the passage was that she was unwilling to give up.
What if she was lucky and the passage could be used as long as it was slightly cleaned?
Holding this kind of hope, Mo Tiange waited silently.
One hour, four hours … One day, two days …
Yifan never came up.
Mo Tiange was not worried that something might happen to it. They had a spiritual beast contract. If something happened to Yifan, she would sense it more or less.
Besides, Yifan was a Sea Dragon. This sea area was so close to the North Pole Island, so there would be no high level sea beasts. How could those low level sea beasts be a match for a Sea Dragon?
Maybe Yifan was unwilling to give up, so it kept looking for it.
On the third day, the sea finally fluctuated. With a splash, Yifan came out of the sea.
"Master …" Seeing Mo Tiange, Yifan approached her with grievance and rubbed its head against her arm.
Seeing Yifan's depressed look, Mo Tiange had already guessed the result. Fortunately, she was mentally prepared. She just sighed and stroked its head. "Let's think of another way."
"En."
Yifan had been with Mo Tiange for more than ten years. In the beginning, it only trusted her because of the spiritual beast contract. But after so many years, it ate so many medicinal pills from her and fought side by side with her, this trust had become trust. It believed that its master must have a way to solve it.
Sitting cross-legged in the air, Mo Tiange had no intention of leaving, so Yifan also stayed motionless beside her.
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange opened another spiritual beast bag. This time, it was Feifei that came out.
"En?
Where is this? "
As soon as it came out of the spiritual beast bag, the sea breeze blew on its body. Feifei shivered and smoothed its fur. "Ah, the sea!"
Although Feifei wasn't a sea beast, it also lived on an island in the East Sea. Seeing the sea, it was very happy. "Master, where is this?"
Since its awakening, Mo Tiange hadn't seen Feifei so cheerful and childish. Although she was very annoyed, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and show a little smile.
She stroked Feifei's smooth fur and said, "Feifei, we can't go back."
"Huh?" Feifei was happy, but when it suddenly heard this, it blinked its eyes in confusion.
Mo Tiange said, "The passage we used to come from the Celestial Pole collapsed, so we can't go back the way we came."
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Feifei just responded and said indifferently, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. It's also good here."
It wasn't like Xiaofan, who had elders and relatives and was no different from humans. It was captured and became a spiritual beast as soon as it was born, so it had no concept of its hometown and no nostalgia for the Celestial Pole. As long as the Virtual Sky World was still there, going back or not wasn't important to it at all.
Based on Feifei's tone, if it wasn't because she was powerless to get angry, Mo Tiange really wanted to throw it down from here.
Ever since its awakening, this guy only knew how to annoy people!
"Don't go back?
That's easy for you to say. Not to mention anything else, my sea of knowledge was once imprinted by a top cultivator. If I don't do what he asked me to do within two hundred years and let him remove the imprint for me, I can only live for two hundred years! "Mo Tiange frowned." Now, I only have about one hundred and twenty years left. "
"Huh?" Feifei blinked.
This happened before the two of them formed a spiritual beast contract, so it naturally didn't know about it.
"Don't say this has nothing to do with you."
Mo Tiange gave it a cold look. "If I die, the Virtual Sky World will become an ownerless object. Either you cultivate inside until you reach the realm of Void Treading or you wait for the next master to recognize you as its master.
However, I remember you said that although you ancient divine beasts are powerful, you don't know much about techniques like Void Treading.
In addition, by the way, I can make the Virtual Sky World recognize me as its master because I have the Spiritual Roots of the Origin. Think about it — when the next Spiritual Roots of the Origin appears, happens to find the Virtual Sky World, and it also recognizes me as its master, how long will it take? "
"…" Feifei was speechless for a while. Then, it immediately changed its attitude and wagged its tail to curry favor. "Okay, okay, I understand. You must find a way to go back within these one hundred and twenty years, right?"
"Even earlier." Mo Tiange lowered her head and muttered to herself. After a long time, she sighed and said, "That won't be easy."
Although she'd already told Qin Xi about this matter and she believed he'd find a way to find clues, how could it be easy to find the remains of a cultivator who died five thousand years ago?
Besides, Wanderer Ziwei's character was quite strange …
After thinking for a long time, Mo Tiange still couldn't think of a good way. She rubbed her brows and muttered to herself, "Find a way to the Celestial Pole?
Where should I start … "
Feifei blinked and said, "Don't tell me the cultivators in Yunzhong have never been to the Celestial Pole?"
"Of course they have," Mo Tiange said.
"But … as far as I know, the cultivators in Yunzhong who have been to the Celestial Pole are all Nascent Soul cultivators …"
For example, Zhong Muling and Yuan Bao. Since they could advance to the Deification realm, they were naturally very powerful Nascent Soul cultivators.
In addition, Martial Uncle Zhenyang said he once met a cultivator in Yunzhong who crossed the South Sea. That cultivator was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but he had a wonderful escape technique …
Aside from this passage, Mo Tiange wasn't sure whether there was a shortcut from Yunzhong to the Celestial Pole. Even if there was, it would probably be very secretive.
There was also an obvious path — crossing the South Sea.
The danger of crossing the South Sea didn't need to be mentioned, but if they couldn't find any other way, this was the only choice.
"Since they're both Nascent Soul cultivators, Master, you should also cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm. 120 years should be easy for you, right?" Feifei said casually.
This time, Mo Tiange didn't glare at it. She muttered, "Yes, I must cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm to cross the South Sea.
I can't be sure whether I can find another way or not. That being the case, I must be prepared to cross the South Sea! "
At this thought, her eyes shone with determination.
120 years was indeed enough for her to advance to the Nascent Soul realm or even the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
During this time, on one hand, she had to improve her strength as much as possible to prepare for crossing the South Sea; on the other hand, she had to find a way to find a shortcut to the Celestial Pole.
Having made up her mind, Mo Tiange called the two spiritual beasts. "Enter the spiritual beast bag. Let's go."
"Huh?" Feifei wagged its tail in confusion. "Where are we going?"
"To enter Closed Door Meditation, of course," Mo Tiange said.
"Even if we can't find another way, as long as I advance to the Nascent Soul realm, there'll be hope to cross the South Sea."
