Chapter 251: Tsunami

The group from the Nanxuan Sect sat inside the silver flying boat, talking incessantly about matters concerning the Immortal Illusion Continent; some were filled with longing for a bright future, while others predicted dangers.

The Immortal Illusion Continent is like a mystery, leaving many unable to extricate themselves! Even knowing the dangers within are numerous, they still flock to it like moths to a flame, drawing countless cultivators to go.

The speed of the silver flying boat was extremely fast, even a bit faster than the escape light of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, though the amount of Spirit Stones this boat consumed was also no small sum!

It is no wonder Nanxuan Laozu did not dare to use it lightly; after flying for several days, the quantity of Spirit Stones consumed already made his heart ache! Fortunately, the other three major sects and Song Yi also provided him with a large amount of Spirit Stones.

Several months later, the silver flying boat appeared at the edge of the Tianyuan Continent. When everyone stepped out of the boat, they saw that tens of thousands of cultivators had gathered in this area. These were all cultivators from the Tianyuan Continent who, having learned that the Immortal Illusion Continent had appeared in the Human Realm, had all come to try their luck.

Among these cultivators, there were also a small number of Loose Cultivators. They had no sect protection and, relying solely on their own strength, wanted to venture into the Immortal Illusion Continent alone.

The moment the Nanxuan Sect's flying boat landed, it also attracted the attention of many cultivators.

"Which sect is this from? What a grand display! To actually produce such a large Flying Magic Tool!"

"Look, there is even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator among them!"

"Don't go provoking them! Just stay put!"

Many cultivators discussed it among themselves, but once they discovered Nanxuan Laozu's Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, they all dismissed the idea of coming over to strike up a conversation.

"It seems the Immortal Illusion Continent has not officially appeared yet! Let us wait here for a while!"

Looking up at the five-colored auspicious clouds in the sky, Nanxuan Laozu calculated the time to himself before speaking.

"Yes!"

The few people beside him nodded in agreement; they did not know the true time of the Immortal Illusion Continent's appearance and could only listen to the arrangements of the Laozu.

Zhang Nuo also walked out of the flying boat at this time, and looking out, whether in the sky or on the ground, there were shadows of cultivators everywhere.

"So many people!"

After sighing with great emotion, Zhang Nuo looked toward the direction of the Mist Sea, only to see that the sea was boundless, and the blue seawater surged with three-foot waves even without wind. The crashing waves struck the shore, sending forth a splashing sound.

"Zhang Nuo, do not walk around outside lightly! Just stay in the flying boat!"

For some reason, Nanxuan Laozu watched Zhang Nuo very strictly, not letting him leave the flying boat by even half a step. Everyone was quite puzzled by this, but since the Laozu had spoken, Zhang Nuo did not dare to disobey and stayed quietly inside the giant boat every day.

In the blink of an eye, ten days later, the five-colored auspicious clouds in the sky had almost disappeared. Nanxuan Laozu used his fingers to calculate, then immediately summoned everyone back onto the flying boat, after which the boat soared into the sky and flew to the highest altitude.

Just when everyone was confused by his meaning, that night, giant waves hundreds of feet high surged crazily toward the shore. Some cultivators were caught off guard and many were injured by the giant waves.

Although these cultivators were not weak in cultivation, they suffered quite a loss when facing such fierce and powerful natural forces! Only after seeing the scene below did everyone understand why Nanxuan Laozu had moved the flying boat to a high altitude in advance.

"It seems this old man calculated correctly! There is a major disturbance in the Mist Sea, which was bound to trigger a tsunami!"

Standing at the front of the flying boat, seeing the ground covered by seawater for thousands of miles around, Nanxuan Laozu said with a hint of pride.

"Laozu, does this mean the Immortal Illusion Continent has emerged?"

Zhuge An stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Correct! We shall set off now!"

Answering with certainty, Nanxuan Laozu moved his Divine Sense, and the flying boat headed toward the depths of the Mist Sea against the starlit sky. Below the flying boat, the waves were still monstrous, and the rolling sound of water was like ten thousand horses galloping, but none of this affected the well-prepared group from the Nanxuan Sect!

The flying boat shone with brilliant light, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the long sky in the dark night, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the edge of the horizon. At this time, many other cultivators also began to drive various Magic Treasures and rushed toward the depths of the Mist Sea.

Such a huge tsunami meant that the Immortal Illusion Continent had surfaced; arriving a step earlier would mean a few more chances to obtain good things.

In an instant, various rays of light flashed on the shore, all fleeing toward the direction of the Mist Sea. However, these cultivators, including Nanxuan Laozu, did not know the specific location of the Immortal Illusion Continent, so the direction each ray of light flew was different.

Several hours later, the once-bustling seaside was left without a single person, save for the sound of the giant waves crashing! Just at this moment, a pitch-black stone palace appeared above the coastline. This stone palace was incomparably large, nearly a hundred feet long and dozens of feet high. Inside the stone palace, sitting right in the center, was the Demon Emperor!

On both sides of him stood Wang Ji and the others! There were also many Demon Mountain cultivators! These cultivators were all the most elite disciples of the Five Great Demon Mountains. It seems the news the Nanxuan Sect received earlier was true; this time the Demon Emperor had gambled everything, bringing out all the most elite cultivators of the Five Great Demon Mountains.

"It looks like they have all set off!"

Through the doorway of the black palace, the Demon Emperor looked out and saw that under the twinkling starlight, there was not a single person on the beach.

"Should we follow them?"

Wang Ji carefully walked up to the Demon Emperor and asked for instructions.

"Wait a while! We are still missing a few people!"

The Demon Emperor's expression was gloomy; he let out a heavy sigh and said with extreme helplessness.

"There are still others?"

Wang Ji was startled, then his gaze swept through the palace, but he could never discover who exactly was missing. Seeing the Demon Emperor's face look wrong, he did not dare to ask further and had to stand to the side in a disciplined manner.

More than ten days later, the tsunami's tide slowly receded, revealing the original land, and the huge black stone palace also landed on the ground with a loud boom.

Just at this moment, several streaks of light shot over from the depths of the Tianyuan Continent, arriving in front of the stone palace in the blink of an eye. After landing, the light faded, revealing the faces of several people.

It was Qin Xiaofeng, Jin Buhuan, and the red-haired man from the 'Great Underworld Mansion'. Behind the three of them followed many disciples; these people were all dressed in black, and their cultivation did not seem weak. Among them, Shi Liang also stood in the crowd.

"Haha! Lord Demon Emperor is quite true to his word!"

Qin Xiaofeng laughed heartily as he led his people into the stone palace.

"Good fellow! Such a massive Flying Magic Tool, how much Demonic Qi must it consume?"

The old man Jin Buhuan walked while examining the inside of the stone palace, his mouth filled with endless praise.

Only then did Wang Ji and the others understand who the Demon Emperor had been waiting for! Their expressions became somewhat ugly. Traveling with the group from the 'Great Underworld Mansion' put immense pressure on the cultivators of the Five Great Demon Mountains; they dared not be negligent toward people even the Demon Emperor did not dare to provoke easily.

Seeing Qin Xiaofeng and the others enter the stone palace, the Demon Emperor let out a cold snort from his nose!

"Hmph! Arriving so late, the others have long since set off. If you have delayed matters, you will have to bear full responsibility!"

"I say, Lord Demon Emperor, do you know the specific location of the Immortal Illusion Continent?"

The red-haired man did not care, red light flashing in his eyes as he looked up and retorted to the Demon Emperor. These cultivators from the 'Great Underworld Mansion' did not know where they got their courage from; one by one, they did not hold the Demon Emperor in any regard, and their tone of voice was extremely hard!

"I do not!"

The Demon Emperor's expression turned cold, and he spat out the three words casually.

"Since no one knows the specific location of the Immortal Illusion Continent, there is no need to go so early. It would be better to let those who went first scout the path for us!"

At this time, the old man Jin Buhuan coughed twice and, in order to prevent a conflict between the two sides, mediated from the middle.

"Fine, since everyone has arrived, let us set off!"

Rolling his eyes at the group from the 'Great Underworld Mansion', the Demon Emperor said nothing more. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the huge black stone palace rose from the ground, and immediately Demonic Qi swirled around the palace. With a 'whoosh', the stone palace flew toward the direction of the Mist Sea.

At this time, above the Mist Sea, various lights of escape flashed frequently; on the Tianyuan Continent, every cultivator with the ability was searching for the Immortal Illusion Continent.

This legendary place had too many wonders that made people yearn for it; perhaps encountering some good opportunity would even allow one's cultivation to advance greatly!

Everyone moved forward harboring beautiful wishes, but things did not always go as expected; just six months after entering the Mist Sea, demon beasts would always appear in the sea, and these demon beasts were generally around the Fifth or Sixth-Rank, and sometimes even Seventh Rank demon beasts would appear.

This caused cultivators from some small sects to suffer greatly; those who were lucky could still save their lives, while those who were unlucky would fall directly into the mouths of the demon beasts. They had not found the Immortal Illusion Continent, but had instead lost their own lives!

Because the flying boat that Zhang Nuo and the others were riding on was very fast, even if they encountered a few powerful demon beasts, they would be left far behind, which saved everyone a lot of time.

However, nothing is absolute! Just after Nanxuan Laozu's flying boat had been flying on the Mist Sea for a year, heads of flying demon beasts began to appear in the azure sky.

Some of these demon beasts were naturally swift, to the point that even the flying boat could not shake them off! With no other choice, everyone had to take action and slay them one by one.

Once, they encountered a Seventh Rank flying demon beast that almost destroyed the flying boat; if it hadn't been for Nanxuan Laozu taking action in time, I fear everyone on this boat would have fallen into the sea.

Even so, everyone was still broken out in a cold sweat; they had only been flying for so long and had already encountered such a dangerous event, so if they continued to fly forward, who knew what kind of powerful demon beasts they might encounter?

Nanxuan Laozu's heart was also filled with shock; he had entered the Mist Sea in his earlier years, but he had never encountered such high-rank demon beasts. It seemed the appearance of the Immortal Illusion Continent had disturbed all these demon beasts that lived in seclusion in the deep sea.

After flying for another month, suddenly, on the horizon in the distance, a pitch-black mass rushed toward the flying boat, and as Nanxuan Laozu opened his Divine Sense to its fullest, his expression instantly turned ugly!
