Chapter 222: The Sunken Island (2/2)

”Ah…” Sang Yiping cried out before asking yet again, ”Head senior brother, didn’t people say she had an eccentric character and was extremely uncompassionate?”

Mo Wuji shook his head, ”If she was compassionate, she wouldn’t have time to cultivate every other day. So those who fail to get to talk to her deliberately insult her character. There are some things and some people whom you must personally interact with to find out if the rumours were actually true.”

Zhuang Yan agreed without hesitation, ”Yes, this Senior Linglong is very friendly, unlike the rumours saying that she had a irritable temper.”

Sang Yiping nodded her head, ”True, she is the greatest pill refiner in the Five Great Empires and if she were to agree to help everyone who asked her for help in refining pills, she would never be able to reach the True God Stage.”

Mo Wuji executed a few hand seals on his flying car magic treasure to start the flying car, ”Let’s leave this place first. It is still not very safe to be spending too much time here.”

With a corpse cultivator undergoing his closed door cultivation here, Mo Wuji felt that this place was a little strange. Even though he had little knowledge on what a corpse cultivator need for cultivation, he knew that the ground for his cultivation would definitely not be very safe.

Everyone followed Mo Wuji into the flying car as he controlled the flying car out this island. Even though it wasn’t a very big flying car, it was not very squeezy fitting five people in it. In fact, it was still quite spacious.

The five of them became close very quickly now that they were all members of the Tian Ji Sect. Only Zhuang Yan was still feeling a little dejected because other than being the weakest here, it was likely that she still couldn’t forget about Qi Wenxuan.

…

Half a day later, Mo Wuji’s flying car started circling around a region in the sea.

Noticing that Mo Wuji had been circling around this region for over an hour, Sang Yiping asked curiously, ”Head senior brother, why are we hovering around here?”

Mo Wuji took out the map that Jing Lengbei drew, ”This was the sea map that I got and according to the mark on this map, there should be gourd-shaped island here. However, there isn’t any island around here which made me suspect that the map could be wrong.”

”Ah, this map was also an immortal estate map but the location seemed different from the one we had,” Sang Yiping was the first to recognise Mo Wuji’s map as an immortal estate map.

Mo Wuji nodded his head, ”Yes it is an immortal estate map but I think it could be a fake map…”

”Head senior brother, this is not a fake map. I have been here about a month ago when my ship hasn’t sink. I did see a gourd-shaped island here but in just a month’s time, the gourd-shaped island went missing.” Pu Qian responded instantaneously.

Everyone started staring at each other before saying almost simultaneously, ”That gourd-shaped island sunk.”

Mo Wuji said promptly, ”I wish to go down to the sea to check it out.”

”Let’s go down together, there might really be an immortal estate there,” There were traces of excitement in Sang Yiping’s eyes. If there really was an immortal estate, perhaps the rise of Tian Ji Sect could really be possible.

Mo Wuji retrieve a rope before grabbing to the front of the rope, ”We shall go down together then. Everyone grab hold of the rope and not disperse while following my lead.”

Zhuang Yan being the one with the lowest cultivation level here was also in the later stage of the Spirit Building Stage hence, should still be able to survive underwater for a couple of days without breathing.

Only after everyone grabbed onto the rope did Mo Wuji keep the flying car and then jumped into the sea concurrently. Zhuang Yan was right behind Mo Wuji because she had the lowest cultivation level. Pu Qian, being the second strongest after Mo Wuji, was at the back of the rope.

The seawater was incredibly cold and the pressure increased as they went deeper. After a few hundred metres, the weakest Zhuang Yan could not hold on anymore. Mo Wuji took out a Dire Yuan Pill and forced Zhuang Yan, who was behind him, to swallow it.

Dire Yuan Pill would be able to stimulate the inner elemental energy of a person and increase his strength in a very short period of time. However, it would result in significant side effects. After swallowing a pill, there was a surge of elemental energy inside Zhuang Yan and the pressure of the surrounding water decreased significantly. She nodded appreciatively at Mo Wuji because if not for the Dire Yuan Pill, she would have to go up to the surface and not only was it not safe to be up there alone, it would attract the attention of other people too.

After diving for another few hundred metres, just as Sang Yiping and Pu Qian were starting to struggle, their feet touched the bottom of the sea.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously but Pu Qian and Co, found out very quickly that what they stepped on wasn’t the sea base but a place with grass. Pu Qian was the first to realise that they could be stepping on the gourd-shaped island but this gourd-shaped island had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Mo Wuji had longed used his spiritual will to scan the place and could see things even clearer than the rest. The place they were standing on was indeed shaped like a gourd and was definitely the Gourd Island.

Mo Wuji used his hand to signal for the rest of them to follow him as he started moving towards the entrance of the gourd.

This island was not that big to begin with and coupled with their reasonably fast speed underwater, Mo Wuji managed to touch the mouth of the gourd in just an incense worth of time. Using his spiritual will to scan inside the mouth of the gourd, there was indeed an entrance to the island.
