Chapter 213: The Wild Sky Sea
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - -
The Sky Sea. It’s the biggest sea in the entire Five Great Empires. The other seas from the Five Great Empires, or the Lost Continent, such as the Luo Sea, were basically distributaries from the Sky Sea.
Jing Lengbei passed Mo Wuji the sea map, which indicated a location within the Sky Seas.
At this moment, Mo Wuji was already standing by the Sky Sea. Originally, even without Jing Lengbei’s map, Mo Wuji would have given the Sky Sea a shot, to look for Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong. With this map, it would only be more natural for him to do so. However, Jing Lengbei’s map wasn’t the most perfect one; there were many parts where her memory failed her.
The Sky Sea seaside was different from Luo Sea; the Luo Sea was a freshwater sea. Mo Wuji had never been into the Sky Sea, but standing by the sea, the salty and fishy odour told him that this was no freshwater sea.
Waves continuously crashed against the reefs by the shore, rising to form sea sprays as high as three meters. Moreover, the winds were not strong at this moment. Ostensibly, when the wind picks up, the sea spray and waves would become more violent.
Mo Wuji’s heart was filled with apprehension and worry. The moment he enters this sea, even with his abilities, it would be extremely dangerous. Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong had already entered, the chances that they were still alive were extremely slim.
Compared to other seas, the cities around the sea were a little different. For close to a few miles, there weren’t any vestiges of human activity. Here, spiritual energy was sparse; not only was it unsuitable for life, it was rare to see even a Tier 1 spiritual herb.
Mo Wuji raised his head to see the grey, gloomy skies above the sea. He suddenly felt that he had not done a good job preparing; he should have at least prepared a boat. He wouldn’t be able to control his flying car into the sea, he would definitely need a boat.
The flying car was not able to continuously sail through the air; moreover, if he meets with perilous weather, he would not have any place to land. Moreover, he might even encounter some flying demonic beasts.
In comparison, a boat would be far safer than the flying car.
However, it would be a great waste of time if he returned to find a ship now. Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong had already left for a few months, even if he left immediately, it would still be a little late. If he went back now, he would not know how long this delay would be.
Mo Wuji decided, he would simply set out into the sea first. With Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong’s pace, and with only two of them, their ship wouldn’t be very big. If the two of them were still alive, they shouldn’t have gotten very far.
Resolute, Mo Wuji did not delay any further and ignited his flying car, charging into the boundless, vast Sky Sea. The moment he met with any danger, he was prepared to leave and retreat immediately.
The winds above the sea weren’t very strong, and Mo Wuji’s flying car wasn’t really affected. In just an hour, Mo Wuji had already delved deep into the sea domain. The sea map drawn by Jing Lengbei was simple and crude. To determine one’s position on the sea map, one would need to depend on the bearings from landmarks, the hydrology, positions of stars, etc. Mo Wuji had followed the same direction from when he entered, but after half a day above the sea, Mo Wuji started to be hazy of his bearings.
Furthermore, the previous calm seas gradually started to get violent, tempests of wind flowed unrestrainedly in all directions. Mo Wuji had to lower his flying car, otherwise, his flying car would directly get sent flying in all directions by these raging winds. Perhaps he could forcefully charge his flying car forward, but that would result in much damage to his car, and it would also severely deplete his elemental energy.
Mo Wuji flew close to the sea surface for another half a day. The raging winds did not diminish, but instead, a violent storm brewed. Thunder crashed, and lightning flashed. Mo Wuji decided to immediately return. With such weather, not only couldn’t he find Aunt Eleven, he couldn't even find his direction.
Soon, Mo Wuji discovered that he was lost. His current location had deviated much from the route on the sea map.
As the winds got increasingly stronger, Mo Wuji started to search through his storage ring for something that could establish a foothold on the sea. After searching for half a day, he found that besides the spirit stones and the various cultivation essentials, he only had a furnace which he had never used before.
The flying car started to get pulled along by the violent winds, and Mo Wuji started to get worried about his flying car. His flying car was not a bad spiritual equipment, but it did not have any form of defensive ability. As the flying car hovered close above the sea surface, there would be the occasional meters-tall waves which would hit and crash against the flying car.
An object about three to four meters long was carried up by the waves, brushing across the flying car.
Mo Wuji hurriedly kept his flying car and landed on that wooden plank like object. He was in the Extreme Mortal Stage, and he didn’t really care about these average winds and waves, but he was worried that his flying car might actually get damaged.
This random floating object wasn’t actually a wooden plank, but it was made of a lavender-coloured material which was extremely light, yet tough. As Mo Wuji stood atop it, besides being drenched by the crashing waves, things were a lot more relaxed than before.
Moreover, this sea domain did not seem to have any demonic beasts, so Mo Wuji did not need to worry about any sudden attacks.
The waves continued to get more threatening, but this object below Mo Wuji was not even a half bit affected. Mo Wuji’s spiritual will began to scan through the object, he wanted to find out exactly what material this object was made of.
He was not able to discern the object’s material, but he did find the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda’s logo on the plank. This left Mo Wuji curious, how did the Pill Pagoda’s logo appear here? He immediately came to an understanding; this plank might very well came from Granny Linglong’s flying ship. Back in Rao Zhou, he noticed Granny Linglong’s flying ship sailing lowly across the sky, and it was also this lavender colour.
If Granny Linglong’s ship had ended up like this, then Granny Linglong would not be much better. It would mean that Situ Qian didn’t deliver his message to the Heaven Seeking Palace, or the Heaven Seeking Palace had failed to locate Granny Linglong.
”Crash!” Another huge stormy wave came crashing over, the flying ship object below Mo Wuji’s feet was directly lifted up to the top of the waves. It was due to this, he saw another ship swaying in the stormy seas not too far in the distance.
