Chapter 1360 - 1360 31 Passage
Chapter 1360: Chapter 31 Passage Chapter 1360: Chapter 31 Passage “`
“In the Little Cang World of the Nine Continents, Fenglin Continent lies at the center, to the west are the three continents of Tupi, Daosheng, and Xi Tuo, and to the east are the three continents of Tianmo, Huangji, and Jingyuan.”
“North is the Northsea Continent, and to the south is the very Zhongsheng Continent we’re heading to.”
“It has been isolated from the other eight continents for many years, and its inhabitants rarely go out.
The reason is these…”
Rui Chunqiu pointed toward the oppressive storm at the end of the horizon.
Then, pointing at the map in his hands, he drew a circle around the outer region of the continent at the bottom of the map:
“According to the cultivators who have come from Zhongsheng Continent, the seas surrounding Zhongsheng are enveloped by the continual Yuanci Storms known as ‘Yuanci Sea’.”
“Our recent ordeal pales in comparison, and perhaps this is why ordinary cultivators can hardly come and go.”
Daoist Yuanci, Xiang Sirui, and Qin Lingxiao listened without much reaction, merely continuing to listen.
They were all aware of the situation in Zhongsheng Continent before coming.
Even if Daoist Yuanci might not have been clear on the details, they had discussed it on the way.
They also understood that Rui Chunqiu had other reasons for mentioning these matters at this time.
Indeed, Rui Chunqiu soon spoke with a grave expression:
“The Yuanci Storms obstruct and also protect Zhongsheng Continent.”
“To enter Zhongsheng Continent, the first problem we need to solve is the Yuanci Storms…

...but with Daoist Yuanci and Taoist Brother Qin here, I believe it won’t be a major problem.”
“Taoist Friend Rui, just get to the point.”
Xiang Sirui couldn’t help interrupting.
Rui Chunqiu, whose speech had been interrupted, was not annoyed but nodded and said:
“Brother Xiang, don’t be hasty.
The second point is that Zhongsheng Continent has had little interaction with our Fenglin Continent; it’s unpredictable whether they will be friendly or hostile toward us.
If they are amiable, that’s good, but we should be prepared in case of conflicts, considering our numbers are few.
It’s best to have a plan beforehand to avoid being caught off guard at the moment.”
Hearing this, both Daoist Yuanci and Qin Lingxiao’s expressions became slightly serious.
Xiang Sirui, however, laughed and said:
“What’s there to worry about?”
“Meet force with force and repel water with earth.
Not to mention Daoist Yuanci and Taoist Brother Qin, even you and I are Peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
If we can’t defeat them, can we not just retreat?”
“Furthermore, Zhongsheng Continent is just a remote corner of the Nine Continents.
Judging by the size of the land on this map, which is pitifully small and barely half the size of Fenglin Continent, and with its lack of interaction with the outside world after many years of isolation, it’s probably like those small nations in Fenglin Continent – not a threat at all.”
Rui Chunqiu shared the sentiment upon hearing this.
However, Daoist Yuanci then spoke up:
“Being well-prepared is not a bad thing.
As Taoist Friend Rui said, if the native cultivators of Zhongsheng Continent are unwilling to assist us, or even if they bear hostility towards us, what then?”
Although Xiang Sirui disagreed with Rui Chunqiu’s concerns, he showed more respect for Daoist Yuanci, frowning and thinking for a moment before speaking:
“We’ve already been delayed on our journey; we can’t afford to dawdle.
If they are unwilling to cooperate, I think we should fight to make them comply.
If need be, we can apologize and make amends afterward.
As for if we don’t win, then we’ll have to decide at that moment.”
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go then, but as I’ve said before, always consider the possibility of defeat before victory.
If the situation is untenable, we will retreat first and act opportunistically.”
Rui Chunqiu concluded.
This time, they all nodded in unison.
After resting and recuperating on a nearby archipelago, they were led by Daoist Yuanci, who cautiously navigated the periphery of the dark storm, circling it several times.
Daoist Yuanci’s expression gradually turned solemn.
“Daoist Yuanci, what’s the situation?”
Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui both noticed the change in Daoist Yuanci’s demeanor.
And Qin Lingxiao, who had been silent until now, also seemed to sense something about the condition within the Yuanci Storm, his eyebrows tightly knitted.
Daoist Yuanci didn’t waste words, pointing to the massive storm engulfing huge volumes of seawater ahead, his voice slightly heavy:
“The origin of the Yuanci within this is unknown, and it seems different from the Yuanci we encountered before.
It contains many corrosive elements and is extremely difficult to refine.”
“Moreover, just in terms of concentration, although it does not compare with the Membrane Eyes of the Eightfold Sea, it far surpasses the Void Eyes of Yuanci we’ve encountered along the way.
What’s more troublesome is the vast range of this Yuanci Storm.
Passing through would take a long time, and even if I were to traverse it alone, I would almost certainly be crushed by the surrounding Yuanci.”
Daoist Yuanci’s words suddenly cast a pall over the three of them.
However, after enduring so many hardships up to this point, none of them considered giving up.
Qin Lingxiao seemed to have an idea, glanced at Daoist Yuanci, and then spoke uncommonly:
“Could there be a special pathway?”
Rui Chunqiu frowned and said:
“The cultivators who have emerged from Zhongsheng Continent did not specify their methods of navigating the Yuanci Storms.
We’re not sure if such a pathway exists, but since they could leave, there’s no reason why we, with Daoist Yuanci and Taoist Brother Qin with us, can’t enter.”
Xiang Sirui simply flew closer, concentrating his spiritual light in his eyes, and attempted to peer through the black storm that blocked out the sky to discern the situation within.
However, Qin Lingxiao’s mention sparked a thought in Daoist Yuanci.
“Please wait, my friends.”
With that, he plunged directly into the sea.
Despite the Yuanci’s tremendous power fluctuating with the sea’s undulations and its unparalleled concentration, it had no effect whatsoever in the presence of Daoist Yuanci.
