Chapter 844
Hearing these words, Jing Ke also reacted belatedly.
"Yes, this heaven and earth is terrifyingly quiet!"
So, it's not that my fishing technique is bad, but that there are no fish in this sea area at all.
That's right, that's it!
After reacting, the first thing Jing Ke thought of was this question.
Subsequently, he could not help but think of the scene he saw that night.
With the Fusang Divine Tree, the fog shrouding the Mirage dispersed, and then the seven boxes emitted dazzling light simultaneously, echoing with the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon in the sky. A giant dragon with a huge body and majestic appearance appeared between heaven and earth. With the appearance of the giant dragon, a roar opened a new passage. They sailed along this passage and came to such a dead sea area.
"Is this a brand-new world isolated from the original heaven and earth?" Jing Ke thought so.
In Loulan, he had seen the Pixiu use similar means to open a passage and then fly into that world.
Therefore, upon seeing Yinglong display such means, it was inevitable that he would have such thoughts.
Of course, even if he understood that this was a new world, Jing Ke did not have more emotions. At the moment, the only thing he wanted to know was: "I don't know how much longer we have to sail before we can reach the Xianshan!"
Su Xuan looked at the distant sea, his eyes flickering. "Probably soon!"
It seemed that he had been guessed right by Su Xuan.
The Mirage sailed for several more days. On this day, a Mohist disciple could not help but exclaim.
"Everyone, look quickly, what is that?"
Hearing his voice, the accompanying Mohist disciples and some Yin-Yang School disciples looked toward the distant sea surface simultaneously. They saw that on the distant sea, a black outline appeared. As the Mirage approached, this outline became clearer and clearer; it was a huge island.
Jing Ke and Duanmu Rong appeared on the deck of the Mirage simultaneously, looking into the distance.
Yanfei and others, who were originally cultivating, also hurried to the deck of the Mirage to look after knowing this news.
Su Xuan also appeared on the deck of the Mirage at some point, looking into the distance.
Everyone's mood was very excited.
This was not strange.
Since the Mirage set sail, it had actually encountered many islands, but the islands encountered before were just ordinary islands, not worth mentioning. The island at the moment was different; this was the first island they encountered after coming to this brand-new sea area through the passage opened by that giant dragon that night.
It was very likely that this was the legendary Xianshan!
Thinking of the various rumors about the overseas Xianshan, everyone was incredibly excited.
Since setting sail, it had been a long time. Were they finally about to reach the legendary Xianshan?
However, although excited, the speed of the Mirage had a limit. Even if they could see the distant island from afar, for a short time, everyone could only look at it.
They sailed for a while longer, until this day.
The Mirage finally arrived near this island, and the true appearance of the island became clearer and clearer.
This island was very large. On it, there were craggy rocks, and there was not a single tree. After seeing the appearance of the island clearly, everyone was stunned again.
Just because the appearance of the island was completely different from the Xianshan they had imagined.
This kind of island, composed entirely of stones, without even trees or vegetation on it, looked incredibly dead and had no vitality. Was this really the legendary Xianshan?
Although that was said, everyone still decided to board this island.
The Mirage stopped at a distance from the island and did not get too close to it. After all, the Mirage was too big, and there must be reefs and such things hidden near the island. If they got too close, it was very likely to cause damage to the Mirage.
After the Mirage anchored, the doors on the side of the Mirage opened, and several small boats were lowered from it and fell into the water. Everyone boarded the small boats, and Su Xuan flicked his sleeves, summoning a wild wind to propel the boats. In an instant, the several small boats headed toward the island at an incredible speed.
Soon, they arrived at the shore of the island.
Everyone boarded the island.
Only then did they discover that what they had seen before was not enough to describe this island.
Before, they only saw from afar that the island was covered with stones. Now looking at it again, they discovered that there was actually soil on the island, but the soil was black all over, looking very similar to the color of the stones.
Walking on the edge of the island, one could vaguely see some remains of vegetation.
This meant that in the past, there was life on this island, at least, there were things like trees, and it was not as dead as it was now.
"Is this the overseas Xianshan? Why is it so dead?"
"Is the true appearance of the Xianshan like this?"
