Chapter 168: Check-in at the Sabaody Archipelago! (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

In fact,

Li Xiao's suggestion to simply pick a direction

was truly random!

After all, being several thousand meters in the air,

trying to distinguish directions was unrealistic!

Moreover, Li Xiao had no compass in hand,

so,

he might as well just pick a direction and run until the end,

he would surely encounter an island eventually!

Hmm,

the consequence of doing so was that,

when Li Xiao encountered an island,

he suddenly discovered,

he had inexplicably arrived directly at the end of the first half of the Grand Line—the Sabaody Archipelago!

Near the Marine Headquarters,

there stood the world's largest red mangrove tree, the "Archemander Red Mangrove,"

and since its roots remained exposed above the water surface,

they formed the current Sabaody Archipelago!

The greatest feature of the Sabaody Archipelago,

was the special natural resin secreted by the roots of the Archemander Red Mangrove due to respiration,

which expanded in the air to form bubbles,

then flew into the sky!

The Sabaody Archipelago utilized these bubbles in every aspect,

such as building houses on bubbles,

making bubble cars, and so on,

thereby forming a unique bubble culture.

Normally,

after passing through Reverse Mountain to enter the Grand Line,

one would next face the first half of the Grand Line!

There were seven routes here in total,

allowing one to choose any route for navigation!

But the route could only be chosen at the initial Reverse Mountain,

once navigation began,

it could no longer be changed!

Of course,

this excluded people like Li Xiao who liked to wander everywhere,

and had the ability to wander everywhere!

No matter which route was chosen,

one would eventually arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago,

then pass through Fish-Man Island below,

or the Holy Land Mary Geoise above the Red Line,

to enter the second half of the Grand Line—the New World!

Due to the reasons above,

plus its location near the Red Line,

and its proximity to the Marine Headquarters,

therefore,

the Sabaody Archipelago had always been a very prosperous place!

However,

the so-called prosperity did not mean glamour,

even with the Marine Headquarters nearby,

the Sabaody Archipelago was still filled with lawless areas!

At this moment,

on a street in the Sabaody Archipelago,

Li Xiao silently chose to check in!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successful check-in!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward 【Water-Avoiding Pearl】"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward 【Heart-Clearing Mantra】"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward 【Jade Hairpin】"

Compared to before,

this check-in reward was much more rudimentary.

The Water-Avoiding Pearl,

as its name Gu Mingsiyi suggests,

is a special treasure.

Holding the Water-Avoiding Pearl allows one to breathe freely underwater,

and if activated with spiritual power,

the Water-Avoiding Pearl can prop up a layer of membrane around the body,

thereby isolating the seawater,

allowing the user to ignore water pressure,

even survive in the deep sea,

and even move with complete freedom!

For now,

it is of little use to Li Xiao,

counting only as an interesting little trinket,

so Li Xiao placed it inside the Sumeru Ring,

treating it as a collection piece!

Next is the Heart-Clearing Mantra,

similar to a type of spell,

which, when chanted silently, serves to focus the mind and calm the qi,

keeping the spiritual platform clear and bright,

and is remarkably effective against certain mental attacks!

Beyond that,

long-term chanting also improves one's state of mind.

As for the last jade hairpin,

hmm...

from its appearance,

it seems to be just an ordinary jade hairpin!

However,

after Li Xiao checked the detailed information provided by the system,

he suddenly understood!
