Lei Hu slowly woke up from his trance. After practicing the techniques taught by Ye Tian, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy and transformed it into true energy was more than ten times faster than before. This time he entered trance, making him feel full of energy all over his body.
He lost strength, and the pain in the broken arm turned into numbness and itching, forming a thick layer of scars.
"Then you, kid, have been practicing for five whole days. Okay, let's eat all those fish!"
Ye Tian was not embarrassed at all to be called master by a man in his forties, because whether in the martial arts world or the world of monasticism, all that matters is strength. With Ye Tian's current level of cultivation, even in the world of monasticism,
That can barely be considered a master.
"Five days? How...how could it be so long?" After hearing Ye Tian's words, Lei Hu's eyes almost popped out. In his feeling, he felt like he had slept, which didn't last long.
time.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lei Hu's stomach began to growl. Only then did he realize that Ye Tian's words were true. The hungry feeling in his stomach made him unable to say anything anymore and picked up the food with his left hand.
A freshly dead sea fish started to chew.
"My disciples, when it comes to encounters, you should be the number one one!"
Seeing Lei Hu devouring the food, Ye Tian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. If it were Zhou Xiaotian here, relying on the strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth and his own spiritual stone, he might have the hope to step into the innate realm, and with Lei Hu's
His qualifications may only be at the late stage of Huajin at best.
But it doesn't matter. Even if Ye Tian goes out and establishes a sect to recruit disciples, with Lei Hu, a master of energy transformation, he is not afraid of being kicked out. Except for those cultivators who are hiding everywhere and in the Shenzhou enchantment,
The Huajin master is already the pinnacle of martial arts in the world.
"Master, you have thanked me, and this disciple will follow you to benefit from it!"
Lei Hu just woke up from sedation and didn't understand the meaning of Ye Tian's words. While biting the fish meat, he asked vaguely: "Master, you just said that five days have passed? What...how can we
Are you still at sea?"
"I have been rowing, so naturally I am still on the sea..."
There was also a trace of tiredness on Ye Tian's face. In the past five days, he had only eaten a few sea fish. The rest of the time, he used his true energy to drive the life raft forward, just to see how big the island was.
.
But what disappointed Ye Tian was that although the scenery of the islands along the way was roughly the same, he just didn't see the place where he left his mark. The size of this island was far beyond his imagination. These five boring days
The sea journey really made Ye Tian physically and mentally exhausted.
"You haven't been able to circle around this island in five days?" Lei Hu had a look of shock on his face. There was no wind or waves outside the island. With Ye Tian's physical strength, he might be able to circle several circles in five days.
It's a hundred nautical miles away. Isn't this island ridiculously big?
Ye Tian nodded, looked at the fairy-shrouded island in the distance, and said, "We should have gone to the shore a long time ago. Damn it, how can rowing be as light as walking?"
Ye Tian suddenly realized not long ago that he had done a very stupid thing. Instead of rowing a boat in the sea, it was better to walk on the beach to measure the island. The physical energy required was far less than that at sea.
There are more.
Moreover, Ye Tian also had a strong interest in this island. He really couldn't imagine why such a large island suitable for human habitation has not been discovered by humans yet and can still remain in this era when the earth's orbit is full of satellites.
Such a primitive ecology.
"Ashore?" Lei Hu looked at his severed right arm hesitantly and said, "Master, the island is not as calm as the sea."
Although his cultivation has improved greatly, Lei Hu knows that if he encounters that monster again now, he still has no power to fight back. Only non-human beings like Master can compete with those legendary guys, right?
"Idiot, it's safe on the beach. As long as you don't enter the island, you're not afraid!"
Ye Tian rolled his eyes when he heard this. It seemed that both master and apprentice had entered into a misunderstanding. In fact, when they could no longer explore the deep sea, they should have returned to the beach as soon as possible. With their strength, they could walk out of the sea in five days.
Thousands of kilometers are normal.
"Master said, let's go ashore now."
Thinking of the situation when the monster was swallowed by lightning, Lei Hu's confidence suddenly increased. It seemed that the beach of this island was a forbidden area. There were so many corpses of giant beasts along the coast, and it was very likely that they were killed by lightning.
Lei Hu's guess was correct. In addition to the concealment function, the large array on the periphery of the island was also to prevent the loss of spiritual energy on the island and the escape of these monsters. Some monsters with advanced cultivation were unwilling to be trapped here and wanted to
Anyone who breaks through that line of defense and escapes to the open sea will eventually end up being struck by lightning.
Qiongqi was originally extremely intelligent. After seeing those monsters that were not weaker than him die on the beach, he tried his best to avoid getting close to the beach. However, this time he lost his mind after being hit hard by Ye Tian and fled in confusion.
Heading towards the beach, the calamity thunder caused by this happened.
Not daring to go deep into the sea, he could only return to the beach temporarily. Ye Tian put more force on his hands, and the life raft rushed towards the beach like an arrow from a string.
Just over a hundred meters away from the beach, Lei Hu suddenly screamed, pointed at the beach with one arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you... look, what is that?"
"Huh? Is there writing on the rock wall?"
In front of this beach, there is a huge overhanging wall. On the smooth rock wall, which is like a knife and an axe, there are actually two big characters carved on it. It's just that the original rock wall was wrapped in clouds and mist. Even with Ye Tian's eyes,
It was hard to see Li Li. Now that he was close, he was discovered by Lei Hu first.
"Peng...Penglai? This...how is this possible?"
Even though Ye Tian's mind had already reached a state where he could neither be happy with things nor sad with himself, he was so shocked by these two big characters that he even forgot to paddle the boat for a moment and let the life raft float on the sea.
"Penglai? Then... isn't that the legendary fairy island?"
Lei Hu didn't know much about Chinese characters, especially the word Penglai written in seal script, which he didn't recognize. However, Lei Hu had heard the story of Qin Shihuang's search for immortal mountains, the abbot of Penglai and the three overseas immortal mountains in Yingzhou.
Still know.
"That's right, it's just...how is this possible?"
Looking at the vigorous and powerful fonts like iron stems and twigs, the look of shock on Ye Tian's face did not diminish at all. These two figures were hundreds of feet in size and could not be engraved by human hands. The surrounding aura was surrounding them, setting them off.
It floats like a fairy, as if it is about to fly away.
Ye Tian is not as ignorant as Lei Hu. He has a very deep understanding of overseas fairy mountains, because there are descriptions of these three places in many Taoist classics, especially those who practice Taoism and refine alchemy.
Considered a Taoist holy land.
Talking about the origin of Sanxian Mountain, it should have originated in the Warring States Period.
"Historical Records. Book of Fengchan" and "Book of Han. Chronicles of Suburban Sacrifice" record: "It is passed down in the Bohai Sea, not far away... If you try it, all the immortals and the medicine of immortality are there. It is a beast.
It is completely white, and gold and silver are the palace palaces. Before we arrive, we look at it like clouds; when we arrive, Sanxian Mountain is under the water. When we approach it, the wind often draws us away, but we can never reach the clouds."
"Records of Ten Continents" records: "During the time of the First Emperor of Qin, there were many dead people crossing the road in Dawan. There were several birds holding grass in their mouths, and the dead people were all alive immediately. An official reported to the First Emperor. The First Emperor sent his envoys to pick up the grass to ask about the ghost valley.
Sir, the cloud is an immortal grass on Zuzhou in the East China Sea. It grows in the Qiongtian field and is called Yangshenzhi. Its leaves are like wild rice, and it grows without clumps. One plant can live a thousand people."
After unifying the six kingdoms, the First Emperor, who pursued immortality, listened to the advice of the alchemists and sent Xu Fu and three thousand boys and girls each to sail into the sea in a building boat to find their ancestral homeland and never return. This left behind an eternal joke. The legend of Sanxian Mountain also came from
This is well known to the world.
Some people in later generations have studied these records, but they thought they were mirages on the sea. Volume 1 of "Qi Cheng" written by Yu Qin of the Yuan Dynasty said: Gaihai City often has a sunny and peaceful time in spring and summer, when the sky is rising and the east wind is gentle.
When the clouds are laid on the island, the sea city will appear. Now there are mountains and forests, city walls, towers and buildings, ostriches on felt carts, people in clothes, everything in the world, and all kinds of things... Oh, God!
When Ye Tian read these records, he also tended to think of it as a mirage, but the word "Penglai" in front of him subverted all his previous perceptions. Such a vast island that had not been discovered by the world also
It can only be explained by using the legendary fairy mountain.
"Grandma, isn't it said that Penglai is in the Bohai Sea? How could it end up in the Indian Ocean?"
Ye Tian twisted his thigh hard, and the pain made him wake up completely. Although he expressed doubts in his mouth, Ye Tian already understood in his heart that this must be the Penglai Immortal Mountain, otherwise it would never be like this.
Abundant aura of heaven and earth.
"Master, look, there is a wooden house over there!" Just when Ye Tian was shocked and confused, Lei Hu's voice rang again.
"Huh? Is there anyone else on this island?"
Ye Tian heard the words and looked around, and sure enough, under the mountainside to the left of the word "Penglai", there was a house made of wood. There was a space of more than one meter with wooden pillars underneath. The entire wooden house was covered with green vines.
It's really hard to spot if you don't look carefully.
"Go and have a look, Lei Hu, don't say anything then!"
Ye Tian poured his true energy into the oars without any reservation. The life raft suddenly accelerated and rushed to the shore like a speedboat. More than a minute later, Ye Tian pressed his left and right hands on both sides of the raft.
, the entire life raft floated up out of thin air and stopped on the beach covered with fine grains of sand.
"No one lives in that wooden house. I wonder how long it has been abandoned?"
After landing on the shore, Ye Tian had a look of disappointment on his face. The wooden house was on the edge of the beach, only forty or fifty meters away. This was within the detection range of Ye Tian's spiritual consciousness——
