Chapter 214: Chapter 186: Sweeping Through the Fourth Island
Three days later.
In the central region of the Fourth Sea Island, beside a vast lake, Ye Chen was seated facing the water.
Behind Ye Chen, twenty other people were also sitting cross-legged!
Over the past few days, as Ye Chen continuously flew across the Fourth Sea Island, searching for Legacy Treasures and Secret Grounds, more and more people joined his team.
After Ye Chen and his team had unearthed seven Legacy Treasures and Secret Grounds, they had moved from the western to the central region of the Fourth Sea Island. Moreover, the number of people following Ye Chen had increased to twenty.
Among these twenty, there was even an existence at the Half-Step Rotating Pill level!
But even this Half-Step Rotating Pill sat quietly behind Ye Chen.
After all, it was Ye Chen who had saved his life, and he was filled with immense respect and gratitude towards Ye Chen!
This Half-Step Rotating Pill came from the Five Grade Great Sect, Cloud Sky Sect, and he had seen many experts, but even after encountering countless masters, Ye Chen's strength still shocked him deeply!
It was because this Half-Step Rotating Pill witnessed Ye Chen's power when he had rescued him from a cave by killing eight incredibly formidable Half-Step Demon Kings.
The Half-Step Rotating Pill knew that at this moment, Ye Chen could absolutely sweep through all Half-Step Rotating Pills of their Cloud Sky Sect!
With Ye Chen leading, even if the Great Demons rampant on the Fourth Sea Island posed a threat, his safety was absolutely guaranteed!
Ye Chen was undoubtedly the most qualified among them to enter the Central Great Island and compete with masters from the other nine islands!
After a while, the twenty people seated behind Ye Chen gradually woke from their meditative states and stood up one after another.
A bit later, Ye Chen, who had been sitting at the very front, also opened his eyes and stood up.
"Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous!"
"Although this ancient tomb is eerily abnormal, the treasures within are truly extraordinary!"
Ye Chen looked at the lake before him, exclaiming in admiration.
The reason they were seated beside this lake was that it was the eighth Legacy Treasure and Secret Ground they were exploring.
Ye Chen and his team had noticed something unusual because, when the twenty-one of them flew over the lake, they saw no fewer than a hundred Great Demons, all sitting quietly by the lake, regardless of their kind.
It was precisely because Ye Chen and his team entered this territory that these Great Demons furiously attacked them. Once they had dealt with these demons, Ye Chen and the others also sat by the lake as the Great Demons had done.
With this seating, everyone understood why those Great Demons had been sitting there before.
Flying over the lake wouldn't result in any strange sensation, but once they sat down beside it, all of them felt an odd energy from the lake, nourishing their Divine Senses.
This nourishment was continuously enhancing their spiritual power.
Even when the nourishment ended and Ye Chen could no longer sense this energy, the scope of his Divine Sense extended from an original radius of twenty li to thirty li, a significant increase in distance!
This meant that the range of Ye Chen's Divine Sense perception became vast, and the distance over which he could use "Void Instantaneous Change" Divine Skills for instantaneous movement was also greatly extended!
Ye Chen gained a lot, and so did the others, though their Divine Senses might not have reached thirty li like Ye Chen's, all of them experienced at least a thirty percent increase!
Filled with great gains, these individuals stood up and gathered in front of Ye Chen.
The waiting group finally saw Ye Chen turn his gaze towards yet another region at the eastern edge of the Fourth Sea Island, "Let's go, and continue exploring this Fourth Sea Island!"
...
In the time that followed, Ye Chen led his team towards the unexplored territories of the Fourth Sea Island.
This movement was a complete push across the island!
No matter where they flew, whatever attacks from Great Demons they encountered, the team killed every demon.
Weaker demons were handled by those with lesser strength.
Against formidable demons, even several late-stage Spirit Sea members would strike together to kill them!
When they faced Great Demons they couldn't defeat, Ye Chen personally took action, ensuring that no matter how fierce the demon, it would be killed without fail.
After searching eight Legacy Treasure locations and obtaining no fewer than a hundred Legacy Treasures, with each member receiving some, they went on to explore six more Legacy Treasure sites.
There were mysterious orchards with sky-reaching ancient trees.
There were lands filled with rampaging Demon Bees and spiritual honey!
And there were Divine Marvel ancient weapons that countless Great Demons fiercely fought over!
Through the exploration of one Legacy Treasure site after another, the Tomb Explorers following Ye Chen were continually increasing in strength, and their push across the Fourth Sea Island was getting faster and faster!
When one day remained until the end of the month-long exploration of the outer peripheral islands, Ye Chen's group had completely swept through the entire three thousand li of the Fourth Sea Island!
By this time, Ye Chen's team had grown to a total of twenty-five people!
Apart from the seven who died amidst the ravages of demon beasts and the perils of exploration, all the others, including the five Half-Step Rotating Pill survivors from the Fourth Sea Island, had joined the group.
...
Atop a huge reef on the easternmost shore of the Fourth Sea Island,
twenty-five people turned to look back at the vast expanse of the Fourth Sea Island.
"It's over, we've finally explored the entire Fourth Sea Island!"
There was joy in everyone's eyes; no matter their rank on the wooden plaques, whether or not they were in the top ten, whether or not they had the qualifications to enter the Central Giant Island, they were all thrilled.
Because they had survived!
Everyone knew how difficult it was to survive amid the mysterious black pillar eruptions and the rampages of numerous Great Demons.
With this thought, countless gazes converged on Ye Chen, who stood atop the reef.
"Because of Ye Chen!"
Everyone was immensely grateful to Ye Chen, even the few Half-Step Rotating Pill cultivators were deeply thankful to him.
They knew that if it weren't for Ye Chen, even if they could have survived, they wouldn't have been able to roam the Fourth Sea Island so freely and dominate it as they did!
Not only did they survive, but they also reaped great rewards during their continuous exploration of the Fourth Sea Island.
Everyone agreed on Ye Chen's leadership because not only was he the strongest, but also when it came to treasures, he wasn't greedy and always distributed them fairly.
The treasures they had obtained following Ye Chen were more numerous and precious than those they could have found adventuring on their own!
"If all ten islands have such strange black pillars and are overrun by Great Demons, then our Fourth Sea Island most likely has the highest number of survivors!"
These people turned their heads and looked out towards the vast sea.
At this moment, Ye Chen, standing on the reef, also gazed out to sea.
His black hair was fluttering in the sea breeze. Having successfully navigated the Fourth Sea Island these days, he was quite satisfied with his gains.
He had not only advanced his True Qi Realm to the early peak of the Spirit Sea, but his External Martial Skills, the Sword Formation, and the Nine Transformation Fighting Body had also seen significant improvements. Most importantly, Ye Chen had finally achieved True Thunder Induction and could begin to challenge the final tier of the Primordial Star Scripture's Gang Yuan Chapter!
But at this moment, Ye Chen was worried.
He could save many people on the Fourth Sea Island, but Jiang Yao was not on the Fourth Sea Island, and he was concerned for her.
Jiang Yao's strength was enough to contend with the Half-Step Rotating Pill warriors, but the Tomb Explorers on the other islands might not unite as they did on the Fourth Sea Island.
If the other islands fell into mutual combat, coupled with the rampage of giant beasts, accidents could very well happen.
"There's only one more day before the teleportation formation to the Central Sea Island opens."
"I hope Jiang Yao is alright, once we enter the Central Sea Island, we can explore it together!"
Ye Chen was both excited and nervous about the imminent journey to the Central Giant Island.
Not just Ye Chen, the other nine who had qualified to enter the Central Giant Island were also getting anxious.
In one more day, they would enter the Central Giant Island, joining together with the other experts from the other nine islands.
These outer islands were so mysterious, they had no idea what lay in store on the Central Giant Island.
However, they were looking forward even more to the Rotating Pill-level Legacy Treasures on the Central Giant Island!
The Spirit Sea-level Legacy Treasures from the outer islands had already brought them much, so they were naturally eager to see what the even more precious Rotating Pill-level treasures would be like.
Amidst the waiting of everyone on the Fourth Sea Island,
the day passed by extraordinarily peacefully.
When the thirtieth day of entering the ancient tomb arrived, a massive Teleportation Array light circle suddenly appeared over the Fourth Sea Island.
This Teleportation Array light circle almost seemed to envelop the entire island.
Not just on the Fourth Sea Island, but at the same time on the other nine islands as well, similarly massive Teleportation Array light circles appeared.
All the surviving Tomb Explorers looked towards the Teleportation Array light circles in the void, knowing that the second region of this ancient tomb exploration, the Central Giant Island, was about to be unveiled!
