Chapter 360: Exploit
Translator: 3herylEditor: Hitesh_
The foggy forbidden place had existed for numerous years. No one under the Seas of Souls Realm had ever walked out of here. Once stuck, the people mostly gave up on trying to leave the place, so they built their family here, generations after generations. After countless years, the population on the island had exceeded millions; it was like another world in here.
On the harbors in the outer part of the island, couple thousand boats were anchored there. The small ones were only dozen meters long, while the bigger ones were more than thousands of meters long. The largest one was like a moving mansion; the guards standing on both sides were all above Mid Clasping Yuan Realm, and there were a dozen Astral Reaching Realm warriors as well. In the middle of the boat, there was a small sensing tower, the sensing ball floating on top flashing intermittently like a star in the sky.
Zhao Yushuang whispered, ”This is the grand elders' boats, I heard, a lot of them are quite old now. They are going crazy in finding medicines to extend their life.”
”Medicine to increase life span?” Ye Chen was surprised. The grand elders getting too old was not a big deal, since no matter how powerful of an Astral Reaching Realm warrior one was, one could only live for two hundred years, not a single day more. However, he had never heard that there was a life span extending medicine, since there was a limit to every person's life. Those so-called life-extending medicines on the market were not that amazing as it sounded. For example, although a normal person could live up to one hundred years potentially, some people would die earlier than others because of different body conditions. For those who bought the medicine, all it did was merely to ameliorate their health condition, which allowed them to live a little bit longer. But, they would not exceed their limit after all. Meanwhile, for those Astral Reaching Realm warriors, as long as there were not any incidents, they all would be able to live for two hundred years. Therefore, the medicine that could increase their lifespan would be the true ones, as even one day more would already be excellent.
”Yeah, there is this ongoing rumor about the Nine Twist Spirit Reversing Plant, which seems to allow the person to live for nine years more beyond their limit. It also has the power of increasing their soul power. Therefore, there were a lot of powerful people running in here, trying to find it.” Zhao Yushuang said slowly.
Hearing her, Ye Chen had finally realized why all those top Astral Reaching Realm warriors and even Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors decided to come here. Of course, there were people who came by accident, but most of them were here for the plant, and were eventually trapped here.
With a light tremor, the boat reached the harbor. After getting off the boat, the group walked towards the city gate.
”One rank three beast pellet and a low rank soul stone per person. Don't try to sneak in… Once caught, you will be killed on the spot.” There were a lot of warriors at the gate, the leading one being a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior with a long silver blade. He scanned the group with his sharp look.
The group moved forward at a fast speed, and soon, it was Zhao Heng and the group's turn.
”I have forty-eight people with me on the boat. Here are forty eight rank 3 beast pellets.” Zhao Heng said as he handed over a bag full of beast pellets.
After counting the pellets carefully, he then shouted with a rather loud voice, ”Let them in!”
Before entering the city, Zhao Yushuang turned her head to look at Ye Chen.
”Where is your identification tag?” One of the guards asked.
Ye Chen answered, ”This is my first time entering the island, I don't have one.”
”First timer!” The person who asked the question was not surprised at all as he said to the leading guard, ”Captain, it is his first time.”
”I see. Let's see what kind of cultivation he has.” The Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior walked over with his silver blade. He squeezed his eyes, but then frowned.
”Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior…Seems to be more.”
”Astral Reaching Realm warrior…Does not seem like it yet.”
”What cultivation are you exactly?” He asked.
Ye Chen had already thought about this question, and said without hesitation: ”Early Astral Reaching Realm.”
”Alright. Please follow me to the registry, where you can get an identification tag.”
The registry was on the empty floor between the first and second level, which was extremely attention-catching.
On entering, the guard asked Ye Chen to wait a little before stepping into the hall. Soon, he walked out and said to Ye Chen: ”You can go in there now. Good luck.” He then left.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and entered the hall.
There was only one person in the whole hall, sitting in the top seat. He seemed to be in his fifties. His body was skinny, and he had a long face; there was evil light shining from his eyes. Judging from the vibration of his zhen yuan, he was a Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
”You are an Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior? Don't lie to me.” Squeezing his eyes even more, that guy had an extremely dangerous vibe.
