Chapter 288: Accepting the Invitation
Chapter 288: Accepting the Invitation
In Su Aotian's ardent anticipation, it wasn't until a few months later that the ship came into his eyes from the far side!
During these months, he had no intention of cultivating at all. At first, he didn't know that the ship had come to look for him, and he only hoped in his heart that they would pass near his island. And in the midst of this anticipation, the direction of the ship remained unchanged, and it sailed straight towards his island, and slowly his joy was mixed with apprehension. Such a clear purpose had already made him guess that the ship was most likely coming for him, and in that case, what was the purpose of these people, and what was their attitude towards him, he couldn't help but start to think.
This kind of worry naturally can't suppress the joy of seeing the same kind, and after Su Aotian guessed the purpose of these people, he was still eagerly looking forward to their arrival as soon as possible. It was in this mood of suffering from gains and losses, and joys outweighed sorrows, that the ship finally sailed to the edge of the island and docked.
Su Aotian had been waiting on the shore long before the ship docked. He had already found out the people on the boat, most of them were Yuanying cultivators, there were a few cultivators, and the one with the highest cultivation was only the appearance of the early stage of the transformation of gods. Such a force was already not a concern when he had not yet broken through to the Void Refining Void, and it would not pose any threat to him now.
The clothes of these people were very different from the monks of the Chengtian Continent, giving people a sense of ancient vicissitudes, and the clothes and hair buns made him feel strange. After these people went to the island, they were also surprised when they saw him, and they kept silent one by one. The Avatar Monk didn't have any arrogance, he looked him up and down a few times, and asked, "Where does the Venerable Guest come from, where do you want to stay? I don't know why I came here, I don't know if I can tell you?"
His words were also a little clumsy, which was a little different from the words of the Chengtian Continent, and the tone of his voice also gave him a strange feeling. Although Su Aotian didn't know where these people came from and what the purpose of coming to him was, he didn't have any special purpose for coming to this sea of mist, and there was nothing to hide, so it was better to show sincerity, maybe he could win the favor of the other party even more, so he said calmly: "I am from Chengtianzhou, just because I got into trouble with the enemy, I was chased and killed all the way to escape here, not because I came here to explore and travel." ”
Hearing Su Aotian's answer, the Avatar Cultivator was noncommittal and seemed relatively calm, while those Refining Void and Yuanying Cultivators, the fluctuations in their hearts were more obvious, Su Aotian faintly felt that these people had a trace of hostility towards him, and it seemed that his words had caused them to be unhappy. Su Aotian secretly thought that he didn't say anything wrong, if they were unhappy, he would have nothing to say, if these people were more interesting, he didn't plan to have any conflict with them, if they wanted to make trouble, then he wouldn't be polite.
The Avatar Monk pondered for a while before he said, "Your Excellency can know that you have gone deep into this Dead Sea, and you basically have no chance of returning to the Chengtian Continent. Although you are being chased and killed by the enemy, they will never be able to chase you here, why is the Venerable guest able to go deep into here, is it because you don't want to return to the Chengtian Continent?"
Su Aotian was shocked, he never thought that he would say such a thing, and it seemed that he didn't seem to have the need to deceive himself, this place was so far away from the Chengtian Continent, it must be extremely difficult to go back. But no matter what, the Chengtian Continent itself has to go back, even if it can't go back in the short term, then step up your cultivation, and you will be able to go back one day when your cultivation is high.
So he said: "I don't know if the dead sea in the mouth of my predecessors is the sea of mist that our Chengtian Continent monks said? ”
As soon as these words came out, the monks couldn't help but look at each other, and it seemed that they didn't believe his statement. Su Aotian felt no guilt in his heart, and he didn't explain more, calmly waiting for their reaction. The Avatar Monk pondered for a while before he said: "Our clan has been in this sea of death for a long time, that is, the sea of mist that you are talking about, and we have not seen a foreign guest for a long time. First, I can talk to the honored guest and learn about the changes in the Chengtian Continent, and second, I may be able to help the honored guest a little in the matter of leaving this place and returning to the Chengtian Continent, I wonder if the honored guest can agree?"
He just didn't invite Su Aotian, Su Aotian also wanted to take the initiative to go with them, in this sea of mist, he was confused and didn't know anything, and these people, no matter where they came from, seemed to know much better about this place than himself, if he didn't ask them clearly, would he really want to stay here for the rest of his life and not go back? In any case, you must go with them first and see the situation, it is better than being alone on this island and not knowing anything. ”
Then he happily agreed: "I don't dare to ask for it." The seniors have this good intention, and the younger generations are of course overjoyed. The monk was a little happy when he saw that he had promised happily, so he said, "You don't have to be too humble, just let me go." ”
At that moment, the monk took him to the ship first, and the group followed, and immediately set sail after boarding the ship. At this time, the monk asked for his name, and Su Aotian told him truthfully and asked for his name. This person's name is Baili Jinqi, and this name is also very clumsy. Then the two talked about some things in the Chengtian Continent, but Su Aotian himself didn't stay in the Chengtian Continent for long, and he didn't know anything about some of the things that Baili Jinqi asked, and Su Aotian wanted to ask about some of them, and Baili Jinqi also vaguely covered up the past. As a result, the two of them soon had nothing to say, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
After saying a few more words, Baili Jinqi excused herself and left. He also did not introduce other people to Su Aotian, these people also turned a blind eye to Su Aotian, and Su Aotian could faintly feel that they were hostile to him. Although Baili Jinqi didn't show it, it may just be that he covered it up well. Su Aotian thought that they did not hesitate to come from such a far away place to find themselves, if it was not for the sake of their own results, most of them were as Baili Jinqi said, and they urgently needed to learn some information from their mouths, so they were a little relieved, things might not be as bad as they thought.
Idle left and right, Su Aotian simply cultivated. With this cultivation, he immediately sensed that these people's emotions were intense, and although they tried their best to suppress them, Su Aotian still sensed their shock at this matter from their gaze and uncontrollable heartbeat. His heart moved, and he vaguely knew that they had come to look for him, and they didn't just want to know about the recent situation in the Chengtian Continent. These people, he had already sensed, just like himself, were also cultivating the Five Elements Vitality, the strange energy in the Sea of Mist, they should not be able to absorb it.
In this way, the purpose of these people is obvious. However, he didn't know why he was able to absorb these energies, how could he explain it to them? Su Aotian remained silent for a moment, pretending not to know their reactions, and secretly wondered how he could make good use of this and let them find a way to send him back to the Chengtian Continent.
Su Aotian also noticed that Baili Jinqi was also alarmed, although he thought that he had secretly concealed himself and came to peek at his cultivation, but his divine sense was also far behind his own, where could his every move escape his divine sense. Knowing this, Su Aotian was even less afraid, he was careful and vigilant, and at the same time he took care of his own cultivation, pretending not to know about their envy, jealousy, hatred, and suspicion.
When they came, because they had to locate the direction, they spent a little more effort, and when they went back, it was much faster, and after walking for more than two months, Su Aotian noticed that there seemed to be a large piece of land in the distance, and he didn't know if it was an island or another unknown continent. He also noticed that when he arrived here, the mist of the Sea of Mists was already very light, and the Five Elements of Yuan Qi seemed to appear in the air.
After a few more days, the vitality of the five elements was getting stronger and stronger, and some of the monks on the ship, some of whom couldn't bear the loneliness, also began to cultivate. Su Aotian thought to himself that this might be the edge of the Sea of Mist, these people should have passed through the Sea of Mist and found a place where they could cultivate, so they stayed and lived here.
After half a month of sailing, Su Aotian was already able to see the land in front of him. In the exploration of the divine sense, this is still in the sea, but it is a large island, but the area is extremely large, and it can be called a small land. There seem to be a lot of people on the island, but most of them are not high, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here is much worse than that of the Chengtian Continent, except for the water Yuan Qi is stronger, the Mu Yuan Qi does not seem to be weak, and the other Yuan Qi is pitiful. It seems that the cultivation environment here is not very good, no wonder these people want to inquire about the situation of the Chengtian Continent from his mouth, could it be that what they think in their hearts is the same as themselves, and they must return to the Chengtian Continent one day?
The divine consciousness spread on this island, and occasionally he could detect several powerful divine consciousnesses, much higher than Baili Jinqi, but none of them could detect themselves. As he was diverging around, he suddenly realized a powerful divine consciousness that had penetrated into his consciousness: "Welcome, Distinguished Guest from afar, on behalf of all the residents of Shenyin Island, I would like to welcome the Venerable Guest!"
