It was hard to imagine that a restriction would be placed at the bottom of the sea. Fairy Fengqing busied herself for a while, but the deeper she went, the weaker the spiritual aura fluctuations became. She could only give up.
"Where is it …" Fairy Fengqing was confused.
The undercurrents around her became calmer and the tidal force was fading. If she couldn't find it, she could only go back to Tiandao Sect first and come back later.
However, the current situation was tense. She didn't know if she would have another chance in the future.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Fairy Fengqing muttered to herself. As time passed and the undercurrents gradually subsided, she became more and more anxious.
All of a sudden, she shouted, "Senior, would you rather let the treasure be covered in dust than give it to your descendants?"
Upon hearing Fairy Fengqing's voice, Mo Tiange turned around and said with a smile, "She's really interesting. Will the restriction appear automatically if I shout?"
Qin Xi was about to laugh, but his smile froze on his face.
A rumbling sound came along the sea. It was dull but clear, as if a door that had been closed for a long time was opened, and the aura of another world filled the air.
The two of them turned their heads in the direction of the voice, only to see that the previously quiet island suddenly began to shake, and an incomparably clear fluctuation of spiritual energy spread out.
"No way!" The two of them looked at each other in dismay.
Fairy Fengqing was ecstatic. She hurriedly followed the spiritual aura fluctuation and found that the source of the fluctuation was on the island instead of the bottom of the sea.
"It's really amazing," Fairy Fengqing praised and quickly swam up.
Mo Tiange hastily operated the formation inside the Ten Thousand Miles Solitary Boat to hide her traces.
Fairy Fengqing had no idea she was being followed. Seeing that there was hope for a fated chance, she was so excited that she didn't have time to be on guard. The peace in the past month had lowered her vigilance.
After returning to the island, Fairy Fengqing's divine sense slowly swept every inch of the island.
When she chose this island as her temporary residence, she checked the island several times to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. However, even a Nascent Soul cultivator didn't find anything abnormal on the island with a circumference of two or three miles. This senior's means were really shocking.
After Fairy Fengqing came to the island, Mo Tiange still hid the Ten Thousand Miles Solitary Boat in the dark to monitor her movements.
The source of the spiritual aura fluctuation was on the small island. This also caused Mo Tiange to exclaim in admiration. "It seems the rumored cultivator's cultivation level is indeed in the Deification realm or above. Otherwise, how could he conceal himself so well?"
Aside from Fairy Fengqing, she and Qin Xi were also there. Qin Xi's cultivation level was higher than hers, and she was skilled in formations, but she didn't notice the restriction this senior left behind at all. This was only a small island with a circumference of two to three square miles, but the restriction was right under the noses of the three Nascent Soul cultivators.
As she thought up to this point, Mo Tiange suddenly fixed her gaze and muttered, "The small island …"
Qin Xi noticed her strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?
What's the problem? "
Mo Tiange thought for a while then raised her eyebrows and said, "I know what's going on with this restriction."
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Qin Xi smiled and said, "You can tell?"
"It can only be considered an inference. I'm not 100% sure."
Fairy Fengqing said she obtained this information from a letter written by a previous elder of Bixuan Court. This means that the discovery of the Qilin bone happened about a thousand years ago.
As for the legend of the Qilin, it can't be too late. Adding the two together, it's thousands of years. "
She paused for a moment then looked at Qin Xi and said, "Thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed. When I went to look for my great ancestor's estate, I saw with my own eyes that many islands disappeared or shifted positions. Especially this small island with a circumference of only a few square miles like this one — even a slightly stronger storm could make it sink.
But look at this small island — why is it not only well-preserved, but its position hasn't changed much after several thousand years? "
Qin Xi said, "Since that senior set a restriction here, it's not strange for this small island to be exactly the same."
"That's what I'm talking about.
It's impossible to set a large restriction on a small area, especially this restriction — it's practically integrated with the small island. Therefore, I speculate that this island is the restriction itself. "
"So what?" Qin Xi was puzzled.
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Since the whole island is a restriction, you can consider it a unique magic weapon."
Qin Xi's eyes lit up. He understood what she meant. "You mean, the whole island can be taken away?"
Mo Tiange nodded lightly. "In theory."
For a Nascent Soul cultivator, it wasn't difficult to take away such a small island. Qin Xi said, "Isn't that simple?
If we can't crack it for now, we can take it away first. "
Right after he finished speaking, they heard a rumbling sound coming from the small island, followed by endless splashing sounds.
The two of them turned their heads to look. They didn't know how Fairy Fengqing did it, but a pool slowly rose in the center of the small island.
The pool wasn't big enough to swim and could probably only be used for bathing. The strange thing was that the whole pool was extremely clear — this small island was too small to form an independent water source. Logically speaking, a pool was also connected to the sea, so it couldn't be so clear.
Fairy Fengqing stood by the pool and hesitated for a while. Suddenly, she made up her mind. She summoned her red lotus and jumped into the pool.
Mo Tiange uttered an "Huh?" and said, "It seems this is the entrance."
She could feel that the pool didn't have any restrictions; it was the only gap in the restrictions on the whole island.
"Should we follow her?"
"Let's wait first," Qin Xi said, "If we get too close, we'll be discovered by her. It's not time for us to show up yet."
Mo Tiange answered with an "en." If they were discovered by Fairy Fengqing now, there would probably be two consequences. One was that they'd fight; the other was that Fairy Fengqing was afraid of their strength, so she feigned civility and looked for an opportunity to lead them to death.
Either way, it wouldn't be good for them, so they'd better wait.
After Fairy Fengqing went down, she disappeared from their divine senses. No matter how they manipulated their divine senses, they couldn't trace her whereabouts.
This restriction was indeed powerful; it was no wonder it hadn't been discovered even after such a long time.
The two of them waited patiently for a while, but they didn't see any movement. However, Qin Xi's divine sense was suddenly touched.
"Someone's coming!" Qin Xi frowned and added, "It should be beast cultivators … More than one eighth rank beast cultivator or above!"
Mo Tiange was surprised. "This isn't the territory of eighth rank beast cultivators yet. Why are there beast cultivators here?" She thought for a moment and said, "Could it be beast cultivators from the South Sea?"
Bixuan Court was already occupied by beast cultivators. In order to fight against cultivators from the Celestial Pole, the South Sea probably sent beast cultivators to guard Bixuan Court again.
"No matter what, we should hide first." Qin Xi's expression became even more solemn. "There's a tenth rank beast cultivator …"
"A tenth rank beast cultivator?"
Mo Tiange was shocked. "If it's a tenth rank beast cultivator, it's really not safe to hide outside … How about we also go into the pool?"
"Wait."
Qin Xi felt something in his heart. It was Little Feng who sent him a voice transmission through thought: "Master, the eldest prince of the South Sea, Xuan Ri, has brought six subordinates here. Among them, there are two tenth rank beast cultivators. You should quickly hide."
Since they could send a voice transmission through thought, Little Feng must be nearby. Qin Xi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you safe?"
Little Feng said, "Rest assured, Master. They didn't suspect me because I called myself a beast cultivator from Kunwu.
It's too late. Among them, there's a beast cultivator who's good at perception. Even if you hide your breath, you can't hide from him. Hurry … "
"Alright, you have to be careful. If there's a chance, think of a way to escape." Qin Xi gave her a brief explanation then said to Mo Tiange, "Let's go in."
Mo Tiange nodded. She made several hand seals and hit the restrictions on the Ten Thousand Miles Canoe. A layer of light shone on the restrictions, and the canoe silently sailed towards the small island. When it fell into the pond, it didn't even cause a splash.
The moment they sank into the pool, their surroundings were instantly cut off. Their divine senses, sight, and hearing could no longer sense the island and the sea outside the pool. It was as if they had entered another world.
Mo Tiange closed her eyes and sensed for a while. She then said with amazement, "What a wonderful restriction! It actually isolated the inside of the restriction into another world. It's similar to the art of tearing space … No, this isn't just a restriction, it's a formation."
Restrictions and formations came from the same source. The only difference was that formations were visible and comprehensive, while restrictions were invisible and independent. This restriction could actually create an independent space, so it could already be considered a formation.
"Yes." Qin Xi nodded. "Judging from this formation alone, its master must be extraordinary."
"By the way, why did you say wait just now?"
Qin Xi answered, "It's Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng is now with those beast cultivators. She sent us a message and told us to hide."
Mo Tiange asked curiously, "Why is Xiaofeng with them?"
"She didn't say.
However, we can roughly guess that she must've encountered beast cultivators when she went to inquire about the news that day. She had to pretend to be a beast cultivator in Kunwu and was invited to be their companion. "He then said with a smile," You definitely can't guess who she met by chance. "
"Who?"
Mo Tiange was curious. From what he said, that beast cultivator must have some connection with them. Was it Xuanyue Monster Monarch again?
Qin Xi said, "Xiaofeng said it was Xuanri, the eldest prince of the South Sea."
"The eldest prince of the South Sea?
Xuanri? "Mo Tiange was stunned." Is he Xuanyue Monster Monarch's elder brother? "
"Probably." Qin Xi said with a smile, "This is interesting.
Based on the performance of those beast cultivators, the eldest prince and the second prince didn't get along. The second prince led the army to fight, but most of the high-level beast cultivators died. Now that the eldest prince suddenly appeared … I'm afraid this battle for the throne has already spread to the Eastern Sea. "
"Isn't this our chance?"
Mo Tiange's eyes brightened. "If they fight, we can fish in troubled waters and go back to Kunwu."
"Right." Qin Xi smiled. "Let's wait and watch a good show."
* * *
At this moment, Xuanyue Monster Monarch was anxiously pacing back and forth in Bixuan Court.
"Second prince." At the door, Dieyi's figure appeared and walked quickly towards him.
Upon seeing her, Xuanyue Monster Monarch asked hurriedly, "How is it?"
Dieyi said with a cold expression, "The scouts reported that the eldest prince seemed to have received some news. He left Xumi Sea a few days ago and came to the Eastern Sea."
"What?!"
Xuanyue Monster Monarch's expression changed. "We haven't found any clues yet, but they're already on the move … What if they beat us to it?"
"Second prince, don't panic!"
Jing Hu said in a deep voice, "First, the eldest prince might be doing this to confuse us. Second, even if he really found that place, he might not succeed.
We can't panic. "
Upon hearing what Jing Hu said, Xuanyue Monster Monarch stood still and nodded calmly. "Elder Jing is right. We lost a lot on this trip, so we must be more careful."
He thought for a while then turned to look at Dieyi. "Elder Die, where is the eldest prince now?"
Dieyi said indifferently, "I'll send people to search the Eastern Sea."
