Chapter 706 (1/2)
Chapter 706: Chapter 309 Heading to Seaheart Island_2 Chapter 706: Chapter 309 Heading to Seaheart Island_2 In the vast sea where Divine Sense was suppressed and white fog pervaded everywhere, even a cultivator found it difficult to discern direction.
Comparatively, the Compass proved quite useful.
On the way back with Lu Jie, as they were flying, Lu Jie began to explain to Lin Jing:
“Here in the Sea of Strange, things are different from the outside world,”
“For us cultivators, setting out to sea typically means boarding a ship and capturing sea beasts, which usually takes several days.
Without a vessel as a place to rest, one quickly exhausts their spiritual power.”
“Moreover, one must carry a Compass.
In this fog-enshrouded sea, losing one’s way is not an option.”
“The most crucial part is…”
“Even if one captures sea beasts, they can only operate within the area marked on the sea map; otherwise, veering off this range makes it very easy to get lost.”
“Once lost in the vast ocean, the chances of finding one’s way back are incredibly slim.”
“You also have a sea map?” Lin Jing immediately showed interest upon hearing about the sea map and quickly asked Lu Jie.
Indeed.
Lin Jing had his own sea map as well.

However, Lin Jing’s map was of the entire Five Elements Realm and the information marked was exceedingly sparse.
It only marked the locations where the True Spirits of the Five Elements appeared and the departure points of the Teleportation Array.
Nothing else was marked.
Especially regarding the Water Element Realm.
Although many islands were marked, their names were not noted.
The only one with a name was Seaheart Island, situated at the center of the Water Element Realm.
And near the Teleportation Array was a Soul Tomb.

Nothing else.
If it were any other realm, one might discern their location by the terrain, but, in the Water Element Realm, one could only distinguish their current position by identifying the position of various islands.
Therefore, what Lin Jing needed to do now was to find his current location.
If he could compare his location with Lu Jie’s sea map, Lin Jing might be able to determine his own current position.
Lu Jie nodded, and then took out a beast-skin made sea map from his Storage Bag and handed it to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing did not hesitate, taking the sea map and immediately started examining it.
While Lin Jing was looking at the sea map, Lu Jie spoke:
“This sea map was previously acquired by my parents, who also added some information when they went out to sea, resulting in its current form.”
“This sea map only records a few nearby islands; there are no records of anything farther away.”
After saying this, Lu Jie added:
“Senior!”
“Here in the Sea of Strange, the sea maps, various Elixir Medicines, and water attribute Cultivation Techniques hold the highest value, and Spirit Stones are exceptionally precious.”
“Since you’ve just arrived, you must be very careful and try to conserve Spirit Stones as much as possible.”
“After all, water attribute Spiritual Energy constitutes ninety percent of this Sea of Strange’s energy; if it’s not a water attribute Cultivation Technique, you’d need to use Spirit Stones to cultivate.”
Lin Jing nodded at these words, then handed the sea map back to Lu Jie.
He had memorized the entire sea map already.
However, it only covered the nearby sea area, and the scope was not very large, hence it couldn’t be used for comparison, and he still could not determine his current position.
After returning the map to Lu Jie, Lin Jing then asked:
“Is this all there is on this sea map?”
“Do you have a more complete sea map?”
Lu Jie then nodded and said:
“There might indeed be a more complete sea map…”
“On our Golden Deer Island, there is an injured elderly cultivator who, because he was seriously injured while hunting sea beasts, never recovered.”
“Therefore, he has expressed a desire to trade the sea map he holds for two Supreme Grade Rejuvenation Pills.”
“I heard from my father that his sea map should be more comprehensive than the ones we have.”
“But given that the island’s environment isn’t suitable and that it’s not possible to grow Spirit Plants here, Rejuvenation Pills are extremely rare Elixir Medicine, so even though he offers the sea map, no one would trade with him.”
Lin Jing listened and nodded slightly:
“Aside from the nearby islands, do you know about any other sea regions?”
Lu Jie shook his head and replied:
“I was born on Golden Deer Island, and the furthest I’ve been is just the nearby islands; without a sea map, I cannot venture elsewhere.”
“Maybe my father might know something.”
…
…
Following Lu Jie, after just a few hours of flying, the two arrived at Golden Deer Island.
The fog here was strange.
In the sea, visibility was only a kilometer.
