Chapter 808: The Sea Crosser
"So this is the Mountain and Sea Path?"
Li Heng looked at the small Void path winding forward before him and could not help but feel a bit surprised; it was too ordinary, feeling much like a small path through a field.
"How special do you want it to be?"
"Do you want me to add some special effects for you?"
"Like using the infinite Multiverse as road bricks and foundation stones, piercing through all spacetime dimensions, and crossing the infinite Unknown?"
The Great Void Will said with annoyance.
"Forget it, adding special effects would be gaudy; it's better to return to simplicity. It's just, are you really sure this small path leads to the Mountain and Sea Great World? It won't just break off while I'm walking, will it?"
Li Heng confirmed again.
"Rest assured, the path I opened definitely leads to the Mountain and Sea Great World."
The Great Void Will guaranteed.
"Alright then, I'm setting off now."
Li Heng couldn't be bothered to dwell on it; in any case, he had left a Source Power coordinate within the Great Void, so if any accident occurred, he could fully return via the Source Power coordinate.
"Have a safe journey."
The Great Void Will said.
"Why does the way you say that make me feel something is off? It sounds like I'm about to die." Li Heng shook his head.
"You said yourself you were setting off on the road, so what's wrong with me saying have a safe journey? If you think of it the wrong way, that's your own business. Regardless, I've already opened this path for you; go or don't go, it's up to you."
The Great Void Will dropped these words and vanished before Li Heng.
He was always busy.
"Sigh, always busy... being busy is good."
Li Heng sighed and stepped onto the Mountain and Sea Path.
Multiverse Republic, where Miwu Boshi was located.
He stared fixedly at the data displayed on the screen before him, his brows tightly furrowed, completely unable to understand. What exactly was going on? Why was the brand-new known land just detected so tightly coupled with the Great Void, as if it were a part of the Great Void itself?
And now, this coupling coefficient was still rising; the higher the coefficient, the stronger the correlation between this newly detected Unknown land and the Great Void.
Could his theory really be wrong?
Or did he detect it incorrectly?
"Forget it, forget it, send a probe to the coordinate point."
"I have to see what that place actually is."
Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, Miwu Boshi gave the order.
The composition of the Mountain and Sea Great World was very simple, without any intricate spacetime structure, consisting only of one mountain and one sea. The great mountain stood tall upon the sea, and all around was an endless ocean, as if only this one mountain and one sea existed in the world, with nothing else besides.
"Is this the Mountain and Sea Great World?"
Li Heng stood upon a lone flat boat, his figure incomparably tiny compared to the endless ocean; he was like a floating speck between Heaven and Earth, a single grain of millet in the vast sea, appearing as if he could be overturned and drowned by the waves of this endless ocean at any moment.
But strangely.
No matter how huge the waves in the sea were, as if they could cover Heaven and Earth, this tiny flat boat always stood atop the crest of the tide, unmoved by the wind, un-capsized by the rain, as stable as ever.
And around Li Heng, there were also many ships.
There were both large ships and small ships.
The large ones could be called Dushi Divine Boats, infinitely vast, containing an endless world within, blooming with Great Dao precious light, constantly subduing the dangerous wind and waves upon the sea; although they still rose and fell with the tide, they were considered stable, not enough to capsize the boat and kill those aboard.
As for the small boats, like the one Li Heng was on, they were lone flat boats, or even smaller, dilapidated and leaking, where a single wave could cause them to sink into the sea, destroying the boat and killing those aboard.
But regardless of whether they were large ships or small boats, and regardless of what was on the ships, here, they all had a unified title: Sea Crossers, who had come from across the vast ocean to ascend the Divine Mountain!
"Oh, the Divine Mountain, endless and vast; the world flocks to the Divine Mountain, but who knows how many bones are buried beneath this Divine Mountain? Divine Mountain? Or Demon Mountain."
Aboard a Dushi Divine Boat.
Nine-colored precious light bloomed, calming the infinite wind and waves around it, seemingly using the power of one boat to contend against the entire vast ocean; its momentum and prestige were supreme among the infinite Sea Crossers around, drawing envy and jealousy from countless others.
And at the bow of this divine boat, a refined and elegant, yet slightly arrogant young master shook the paper fan in his hand, looking at the immeasurably high and immeasurably large Divine Mountain ahead, and sighed.
"The strong ascend the mountain and bloom with light, while the weak turn into bones to serve as the foundation; this mountain is naturally a Divine Mountain to us, but for these fellow Daoists around us, that might not be the case."
Beside the young master, a noble and holy Shennü stood.
"Fellow Daoist Tiannü, why say such things? Although most of these fellow Daoists around have low cultivation, since they chose to be Sea Crossers, they should be clear about the risks involved; they are still worthy of respect."
The young master shook his head, indicating his disagreement.
"Do I have to respect them for seeking their own deaths?"
This Shennü sneered.
"Look at these people? Most are wooden boats or even paper boats; how many can be called treasure boats, or even divine boats? With such goods, what qualifications do they have to be Sea Crossers, or even mountain climbers?"
"Most people will only be drowned by this vast ocean."
"And you, a young master who is already in the Heavenly Selection Sequence with a deep background, want to transcend and be compassionate? Fellow Daoist Feng, if you didn't have those things, such as the protection of this Dushi Divine Boat, how would you be any different from these ants?"
While they were talking, on the vast ocean, the wind and waves did not stop, the tides rose and fell, and it was unknown how many Sea Crossers had already drowned; over endless years, the seabed was already full of bones.
"Fellow Daoist Tiannü's words are too extreme."
This Young Master Feng was not angry, calmly shaking his head.
"Sequence or background, I naturally admit that having these makes me stronger, but that doesn't mean I am useless without them; do you really take me for some second-generation heir or pampered young master?"
"Among these countless Sea Crossers around with no background, there are strong individuals who have used their own Great Dao to transform into a lone flat boat to cross the vast ocean and arrive here, so why would it be any different for me?"
"Then tell me where such a strong person is."
"Crossing the endless ocean with one's own Great Dao as a boat? Do you think this ocean is the Dadao Hai, Shiguang Hai, or Mingyun Hai? Do you really think everyone is as ignorant as you?"
The Shennü scoffed.
She knew very well what level of strong person could achieve this; such strong people were always elusive, never showing themselves in the world, and to the vast majority of people, such strong people were just background, a concept that existed.
How could it be encountered so easily?
Besides, such experts have no need to cross the sea at all; with a single thought, they could reach the Divine Mountain directly. Could it be that some expert is so bored that they would come to experience the life of drifting on the ocean?
That would be better spent researching the Calamity and the monsters.
"Look, see, it is right there."
Young Master Feng put away his paper fan, his expression solemn, and pointed in the direction where Li Heng's flat boat had been that night, speaking slowly.
