First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 290: Invitation from the Burial Immortal Sea

"Fellow Daoist, do you know about the Burial Immortal Sea?"

Wei Ye, the Lord of the Golden Toad Tower, put down his wine cup and asked Shen Mo with a smile.

"The Burial Immortal Sea..." Shen Mo's thoughts quickly turned, and he soon found all the information about this sea.

The Burial Immortal Sea is located in the far east of the Chi Yan Kingdom, adjacent to the Hai Prefecture, and its width is unknown, spanning billions of miles.

It is rumored that even celestial beings from the heavens cannot cross this sea.

It also serves as a barrier between the Chi Yan Kingdom and the outside world, preventing passage from the east to other regions.

Hence the name!

Of course, there may be some exaggeration in these rumors.

Over the past thousands of years, there have been cultivators from other regions who have come from the east and made a name for themselves in the Chi Yan Kingdom.

The Heavenly Lord Tian Jun, who left behind his sword aura on the Tian Mountain, is suspected to have crossed the sea.

However, this Tian Jun has never revealed his true origins to anyone, so it is impossible to say for certain.

Seeing Shen Mo lost in thought, Wei Ye continued, "Fifteen years ago, when I first opened the Ling Hai, I traveled to all corners of the world with my friends..."

As the Lord of the Golden Toad Tower narrated, Shen Mo felt as if he were in the sea.

Wei Ye and several of his friends set sail together.

They marveled at the vastness of the blue tides and felt their own insignificance.

They didn't dare to venture too far, for fear of losing their way in the boundless sea.

By chance, Wei Ye and his companions came across a picturesque island.

Subsequently, they became curious and climbed onto the island.

To their surprise, there was an ancient altar on the island.

After careful study, Wei Ye and his friends discovered that this formation had the power of teleportation.

However, they didn't know where this formation would teleport them to.

It could be a secret realm on the other side of the Burial Immortal Sea, or a small world similar to the Demon Realm...

What's more important is that to activate this formation, they need an ultimate sword aura as the key, in addition to spiritual stones.

"In short, we need someone who is proficient in swordsmanship to display a sword move that connects with the altar in order to activate it!"

Wei Ye stared at Shen Mo with burning eyes, clearly seeing him as a human key.

In the past ten years, he and his friends have been searching for swordsmen everywhere, bringing them to the island in the Burial Immortal Sea to try to activate the formation.

But without exception, they all failed!

They even had the idea of taking the sword aura of the Heavenly Lord on the Tian Mountain.

However, due to their limited strength, it was extremely difficult to connect with the sword aura of the Heavenly Lord, let alone capture it and transfer it to the altar on the island.

"We have also sent invitations and visited the Lord of the Heavenly Sword Sect, hoping to invite him to explore the other side of the ancient formation."

"But unfortunately, he refused."

Wei Ye sighed with regret.

Originally, it was just a momentary impulse, but after investing so much effort, Wei Ye and his friends became more and more unable to let go of this matter.

Until yesterday, Wei Ye saw the sign of a sword move connecting with the divine.

In that instant.

He was even more delighted than Shen Mo himself.

After years of longing, there was finally hope of achieving it.

And then came the decision to send Xu Tong to invite Shen Mo to be a guest at the Golden Toad Tower.

Shen Mo did not deny that the sign of a sword move connecting with the divine was caused by him.

But he did not immediately accept Wei Ye's invitation either.

His brows furrowed as he pondered.

...

When leaving the Golden Toad Tower, Wei Ye personally saw Shen Mo off at the mountain gate.

At the same time.

In Shen Mo's Qiankun Bag, there is an additional amount of spiritual stones and materials.

There are also more than ten Jinchan Tower cultivators by his side, and Xu Tong is among them. Apart from him, there are four others in the Qi Gathering stage.

The rest are all in the later stages or peak of Body Tempering.

The spiritual stones and materials naturally come from the dividends owed by the Jinchan Tower to the Garrison Bureau over the years, which have now been fully paid.

As for Xu Tong and the others, they are disciples of the Jinchan Tower who will be registered under the Garrison Bureau.

In addition, Wei Ye has promised not to obstruct any Jinchan Tower cultivators who wish to join the Garrison Bureau to earn monthly salary and rewards.

He will also persuade other small sects to fully support the affairs of the Garrison Bureau.

In return, Shen Mo has agreed to accompany Wei Ye and the others to the sea island after he opens the Linghai, and help them activate the ancient formation.

As for whether to go to the other end of the formation, that will be decided later.

"One must have a profound understanding of sword intent in order to activate the formation transmission. Perhaps... it leads to a secret realm related to the way of the sword."

Although Shen Mo is also curious about the other side, he cannot immediately set off at the moment.

Firstly, he has the command token of the Linjiang Sect.

Unless the deadline has passed or the sect has other arrangements, he cannot ignore it.

Leaving for a few days is fine.

However, the island of the Law Altar is not close. It takes more than a month to travel by boat, which means two months round trip.

Even if he disregards the sea storms and dangers and flies directly, it would still take at least ten days of effort!

Secondly, Wei Ye and his friends are all strong cultivators in the Linghai stage.

Shen Mo dare not go to the sea island with them until he reaches the Linghai stage, as he cannot rely on others for his own safety.

For now, Wei Ye seems easy to talk to.

But this place is within the Qingzhou region, and he has a request from Shen Mo. Without a long-term interaction, it is impossible to determine whether he is good or evil!

Moreover, Shen Mo knows nothing about the character of his friends.

It would be too risky to rashly travel with them.

Lastly, Shen Mo still has a few things on hand that need to be dealt with as a priority.

He still has three months left on the secret agreement with the treasurer of the Baodan Pavilion. At that time, he must help the treasurer withstand the pressure from the Qian family and Elder Qian.

In addition, he needs to open two shops in Jiyun Town.

The benefits are huge and cannot be easily let go.

There are also alchemy rewards from the Danta.

It won't be long before he reaches the age limit of thirty and can no longer take advantage of the Alchemy Alliance.

He must make good use of his time to improve his proficiency in pill refining and strive to break more records in order to accumulate more in the field of alchemy.

"The road is long, let's take it slowly!" Shen Mo sighed deeply.

...

The registration of Xu Tong and the others indicates the attitude of the Jinchan Tower.

Not long after, Shen Mo visited the Doujin Sect.

Unlike ordinary sects, the cultivators in the sect prefer the path of merchants. They have industries in Jiyun Town and various major cities.

The sect master of the Doujin Sect is also dressed like a merchant, with a friendly smile.

Shen Mo felt like he was dealing with the treasurer Qian.

This trip went exceptionally smoothly, and Shen Mo had a pleasant conversation with the sect master of the Doujin Sect.

Therefore, the change in the situation made Shen Mo abandon his plan to win over one side and suppress the other.

After all, the original intention of the Garrison Bureau was to unite various forces to fight against the demonic calamity.

If the various forces in the jurisdiction are aware of the situation and act accordingly, there will naturally be no need for suppression.

Of course, the easy-going attitude of the sect master of the Doujin Sect is also related to Shen Mo's defeat of the Linghai stage cultivator Tian Qisheng.

The reactions of the Jinchan Tower and the Doujin Sect dispelled the last bit of concern from the small sects, cultivation families, and wandering cultivators.

The overdue materials were continuously paid back.

Many cultivators who considered themselves to be strong also came to register...

The affairs of the Garrison Bureau were able to proceed!

However, this kept Chen Mengze and the others busy. They recruited and assessed registered cultivators, repaired the official residence of the bureau, arranged duties in Hongye City and the surrounding towns, and dispatched cultivators to patrol the countryside in all directions.
