On the edge of East State, along the coastline.
A massive Canglong dragon weaved through the clouds.
As the body of the Canglong surged, layers of dark clouds gathered, and a fierce storm raged as if it would submerge the world.
Especially near the shoreline, the tempest grew even more violent.
There seemed to be glimpses of a world-ending catastrophe.
Above the head of the Canglong.
Chu Yuan, glowing with golden light, stood silently with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Sect Master, my speed is not bad, right?"
The enormous Canglong spoke in human language, its voice like roaring thunder.
"Passable."
Chu Yuan uttered these two bland words.
In this, he was not bragging.
It was indeed merely passable.
He was in an Invincible State.
Using cheats had become second nature.
To him, the speed of this Ao Ye was truly just passable.
If he were to fly with his cheats, it would be akin to instant teleportation.
"Sect Master, does this mean I pass as your mount?"
The Canglong Ao Ye asked anxiously.
"You pass, quite satisfactory. From now on, you are my mount."
Chu Yuan nodded slightly.
Compared to Ao Yu, Ao Ye was obviously much easier to ride.
And there was a huge difference in speed between the two.
In every aspect, Ao Ye was far better than Ao Yu.
Choosing a mount, one would naturally choose Ao Ye.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Sect Master! Thank you for your appreciation! So, Sect Master, are we heading back to the Wayless Sect next?"
Ao Ye was very excited, his voice trembling slightly.
But he knew that as a mount, especially for such a formidable existence, he must not panic at the slightest issue.
Maintaining calm was crucial; otherwise, it would be rather embarrassing for his rider.
So Ao Ye forced his tone to steady as he inquired about Chu Yuan’s next itinerary.
"We should be heading back... wait a second."
Chu Yuan was about to say they should return, as he wanted to check on the Zisu plant, but then something else crossed his mind.
His gaze turned towards the silent expanse of Wangyang Sea.
He became curious.
What lay beyond the Wangyang Sea?
Could there be another continent?
In the world of his previous life, indeed, beyond the ocean, there were other continents.
Between continents, the ocean often served as separation, which seemed quite normal.
So, could there be other continents beyond the Divinity Continent?
Chu Yuan’s interest was piqued.
Now in his Invincible State, should he consider risking it all?
Risk it all or play it safe?
Chu Yuan hesitated for a brief moment.
In the end, he chose to risk it all.
He couldn’t quite explain why he suddenly wanted to risk it all.
But the interest was there.
A whimsical urge.
"Let’s go, we won’t return just yet; we’ll fly deeper into the ocean."
Chu Yuan waved his hand and stated flatly while standing on the dragon’s head.
"Ah? Sect Master, fly deeper into the ocean?"
Ao Ye was taken aback, not quite grasping the idea.
"Correct, fly deeper into the ocean."
Chu Yuan confirmed firmly.
"Sect Master, we are unprepared, and going deeper into the ocean, isn’t it... isn’t it a bit dangerous?"
Ao Ye asked cautiously.
"Hmm? Could it be you know of some danger in the depths of the ocean? Turn into your human form and talk."
Hearing this, Chu Yuan looked down at his new mount.
He stood up and stepped into the air.
Ao Ye too hastily transformed into a human shape, positioning himself a step lower than Chu Yuan, standing in the air.
"Sect Master, I do not know what lies deep in the ocean. Since ancient times, there have been no records about the ocean’s depths because in ancient times, those whose cultivation levels reached a certain stage would ascend, and thus nobody explored the deep ocean."
Ao Ye shook his head as he spoke.
"What are you afraid of then?"
Chu Yuan found it amusing.
He hadn’t even been there before, so what was there to be afraid of.
"Sect Master, but since ten thousand years ago, no one has been able to ascend anymore. That’s why ten thousand years ago, a group from the Tribulation Transcending Stage headed overseas, and once they left, there was no news from them. We of the older generation all know this information, so we dare not go overseas,"
Ao Ye said, shrinking his head.
As soon as this was said,
Chu Yuan’s eyes lit up.
Since ten thousand years ago, no one could ascend?
There was such a thing in the cultivation world?
Cultivation newbie Chu Yuan had never heard of this.
It was Chu Yuan’s first time hearing it, and he always felt like he had seen this plot in some web novel.
In the end, wouldn’t there be a protagonist who would make the world capable of ascension again?
And that protagonist would be...
Chu Yuan looked down at himself.
He thought it better not to think about it.
Him, a protagonist?
He had never seen such an unlucky protagonist before.
Starting with a peak Nascent Soul and then continuously dropping down the realms, is that okay?
Chu Yuan shook his head, not wanting to think too much about it.
After all, he had a cheat.
Not going to check out the depths of this ocean would be a pity.
Moreover, he had a feeling.
Overseas, there lay his opportunity!
"No worries, with me protecting you, you can rest assured."
Thinking this, Chu Yuan immediately looked up at Ao Ye and spoke.
"Ah, this... Sect Master, have you been overseas before?"
Ao Ye hesitated for a moment and asked.
"I have, quite familiar with it, so rest assured,"
Chu Yuan told a kind-hearted lie.
"Eh? You’ve been there? Then there’s nothing to worry about. Sect Master, let’s set off right now! Actually, Sect Master, the reason I asked so many questions just now wasn’t because I was scared, it was just me being cautious. You won’t blame me, right?"
"I won’t."
"That’s good, then. Sect Master, could you tell me what overseas is really like?"
"Overseas... Well, it’s pretty much like Divinity Continent, with people who have two eyes and one mouth..."
"..."
Woohoo!
With a roar from Canglong,
the dragon’s body suddenly moved, flying toward the depths of the ocean.
Chu Yuan and Ao Ye could have never expected,
that this movement would lead them into a bout of aimless time in the ocean.
In the ocean, they could find no destination at all.
But they weren’t willing to go back.
The ’opportunity’ in the unknown was still calling to Chu Yuan.
So Chu Yuan gritted his teeth and decided to keep going forward, searching for that ’opportunity’.
His search lasted two months.
However, even after two months had passed, Chu Yuan had not found any place, still traveling across the vast ocean.
On the other hand, there were changes happening over at Xiangdao Mountain in East State.
...
Two months later, on that day,
At the summit of Xiangdao Mountain,
In front of the Zisu plant,
The Four Great Beasts sat in meditation beside Zisu, all channeling their mana into the plant.
"We can’t suppress it much longer, we need to come up with a solution fast. This Zisu is about to transform, but its root is not yet at the level of an Ancient Divine Demon. It’s just a thread away..."
Taotie said anxiously.
"Use essence blood for irrigation! Force this Zisu to reach the Ancient Divine Demon level! As long as the essence blood is sufficient, even if Zisu doesn’t reach the level of an Ancient Divine Demon, it will be close. If it reaches that level, then as long as Zisu encounters an opportunity later on, it will be able to advance to the level of an Ancient Divine Demon root,"
Hundun said repeatedly.
"Good!"
At this moment, the Four Great Beasts were in agreement.
Following this, Hundun, Taotie, and Qiongqi each dribbled drops of their essence blood into the Zisu.
Meanwhile, Taowu directly irrigated the plant with dozens of drops of essence blood at a time, looking very pale in quick succession.
Leaving the other three Great Beasts stunned, they could only admire Taowu’s boldness...
