Chapter 191: The Future of the Sky Steps (1/2)

*Shui!* *Shui!*

A group of people was traversing the great Cumberland River.

The River seemed endless as it crossed over various islands. Yet, the horizon was filled with its stretches.

The River was the only one that led to the southern sea and further to the other seas.

It was important to the entire archipelago.

Currently, the group consisted of about twenty warriors dressed in different outfits.

After each passing of an island, their numbers would increase but never decrease.

From this, it could be understood that they all had one destination in mind; The Owl Island, home of the Astral Sect!!

Among the large group were two hooded people that garnered attention. Luckily for them, they weren't the only ones with hoods over their head.

*Shui!* *Shui!*

Their speed wasn't also necessary the fastest among them. It was just average.

'Hmmm…. Still a few hours more,' thought one of them.

It was Jake.

His thoughts were rapid as his full concentration was on his feet.

Originally, Jake had planned to board a boat, but he quickly realized that the fastest way was by foot.

He and Kaleyx joined a group of people who used their abilities gained from cultivating to run across the river. Each of them used their optimum speed and had not stopped to take a break.

At first, he had assumed that running on water would be quite technical, but he later realized that it was probably very easy for any [Realm-3] warrior.

The trick was to use one's [Spirit Essence] to forcefully maintain the water retention rate.

Well, that was one way of doing it, the best and common way, but Jake could already walk on water even before he reached [Realm-2].

Granted, he could only run on it, constantly in motion. Once he stopped, he would succumb to the water.

Hence, he used the general method of walking on water.

It had been more than half a day since he had left the Weeping Island.

Jake reckoned that in a few more hours he would arrive at the Owl Island, which was said to be the biggest island in the archipelago.

His curious mind could not help but wonder what he would meet on the island.

Currently, he was among the top strongest individual on the continent, but he knew that he was still a bit far off from being among the true top.

'What a sad life?' sighed Jake.
