The color of this ocean’s water was entirely different from the description of the endless sea, as it appeared to be the color of a normal sea. It seemed that he had been transported from the Heavenly South Region to the coastline of some unknown region.
Nevertheless, there was nothing that he could recognize here. Being outside of the Heavenly South Region, he felt uncertain and wasn’t able to make out any familiar features in this place.
With that in mind, Han Li didn’t immediately set off on his magic tool. Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly released his spiritual sense to see whether there were any cultivators nearby.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Han Li withdrew his spiritual sense and revealed a strange expression.
He wordlessly released his Divine Wind Boat. With a flash of light, he soared through the sky without the slightest effort at concealment. After he was about a hundred meters in the air, Han Li stopped and stood at the front of the boat, surveying the scenery around him.
Everything he saw was tinted with deep blue light. The sparkling light of the sea’s rippling waves blurred Han Li’s vision.
He was above an isolated island about six kilometers wide. As for the cliff he flew out of, it was only a small protruding hill on the island.
Han Li stroked his nose and bitterly smiled.
This was truly troublesome! Although there seemed to be no danger here, he was unable to cultivate on this island. The island’s Spiritual Qi was extremely thin.
If he wanted to mature spiritual herbs, he would require a place with adequate Spiritual Qi. Otherwise, the green liquid would be ineffective. In addition, due to the strong spiritual nature of precious spiritual herbs, abundant Spiritual Qi was required. This left Han Li feeling very helpless!
Han Li sailed around the island once through and found that there weren’t any other islands nearby. In addition, this small island had no life aside from mountainous trees and small snakes.
As a result, he could only sigh and return to the cave.
Once he returned, Han Li first slept off his headache without any interruptions. He had previously worked on restoring the formation over many days without sleeping, leaving him completely exhausted. These problems were best tackled after he had slept his fill!
With Crooked Soul guarding him, Han Li slept soundly for an entire day.
Once he woke up, Han Li stood alone atop the mountain and stared at the sea while lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Li expressionlessly flew down the mountain and found a suitably sized stone to block the cave.
Then, with Crooked Soul on board, he circled the vicinity on his boat and confirmed the direction of the setting sun before flying off without hesitation.
Han Li guessed that since there was nobody on the island with the transportation formation, there must be some other island or land nearby. Otherwise, who would head out to the middle of nowhere and construct such an expensive Ancient Transportation Formation.
Naturally, Han Li didn’t know which direction was correct. He had already decided to fly in this direction for several days. If there were no traces of any cultivators or mortals, he would go back and fly in a different direction.
Although this method was extremely clumsy, it was Han Li’s only choice in this unfamiliar sea. In any case, he had plenty of spirit stones in his storage pouch; he didn’t have to worry about running out of spiritual power.
Perhaps Han Li’s luck was especially good that day, he only had to fly for half a day before finding a huge seafaring ship.
Han Li was delighted. After all, dealing with mortals would be much smoother compared to negotiating with cultivators!
But Han Li felt a bit baffled upon looking at the huge ship. The hull of the ship strangely had no mast or sails. At the ship bow, there were over ten huge fish quickly pulling the ship forward.
Although these fish had huge bodies and a mouth filled with sharp teeth, he felt that they didn’t possess the slightest Spiritual Qi and weren’t demonic beasts by any measure. If this were not the case, Han Li wouldn’t have dared to go near the ship.
Chapter 365: Wang Changqing
Han Li gazed at those huge ten-meter-long fish from a distance and flew around the ship twice before finally deciding to head towards it.
It was clear that those on the ship had seen Han Li coming. With a few loud shouts, a huge crowd of over three hundred people amassed, filling the entire bow of the ship.
Once these people saw Han Li hovering in midair, they revealed reverence and started to bow and salute Han Li.
While Han Li was amazed by the display, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd and nervously said something. He helplessly stood by as if he were waiting for Han Li’s command.
Han Li stroked his nose and bitterly laughed. He wasn't able to understand or make sense of a single word of their language. The question of how to communicate with them made his head hurt.
Seeing that Han Li didn’t reply, the middle-aged man grew panicked and urgently said something. Although Han Li didn’t understand what he said, he was able to make out what he meant.
Han Li wrinkled his brow. After some thought, he spoke out in the common tongue of the Heavenly South Region, “If there is anyone here that can understand my words, please tell me!” Han Li then swept his gaze across the crowd.
The middle-aged man appeared at a loss. It was quite obvious that he didn’t understand what Han Li had said. As for the others, they were also left baffled.
Han Li helplessly sighed and started to use the words of several different ancient languages, using them each once through. He had initially learned these ancient languages in order to cultivate tongue twisting incantations, but he hadn’t mastered them in the slightest. Eventually, a gray haired old man from the crowd seemed to have reacted to one of the languages.
Han Li felt overjoyed upon seeing this and pointed toward the old man.
“Old man, do you understand my words?” Han Li slowly spoke using the ancient language. As he didn’t use the language often, he was very unfamiliar with it.
When the old man heard Han Li, he hesitated for a moment before walking to the side of the middle aged man. Also using the ancient language, he respectfully replied, “This old man, Wang Changqing, had indeed learned this Immortal Clan’s language when he was young. Does this Immortal Master have any commands?”
Han Li revealed a slight smile upon seeing that the old man had understood the ancient language. His figure suddenly flashed and he appeared beside the old man, startling both the old and middle-aged man.
Han Li spoke with a gentle tone, “As you well know, I am not able to speak the local tongue. I only passed by here to ask about a few matters. There is no need to panic!”
He had previously swept his spiritual sense throughout the huge boat and found that the ship only housed mortals. Because he found no cultivators, he was able to descend without worry.
Han Li didn’t pay notice to the mutterings of the old and middle-aged man. Instead, he beckoned to his Divine Wind Boat in the sky, causing it to slowly descend toward the ship bow.
After Crooked Soul got off the Divine Wind Boat, the small boat quickly shrunk into a small white light and flew into Han Li’s hand.
After this was done, Han Li took a sideways glance.
Although the mortals on the ship saw this, they didn’t appear shocked at all and maintained their original reverent expression. They were clearly accustomed to seeing cultivators and their tricks. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have appeared nearly as calm. Also, since these people didn’t seem to come from particularly exceptional backgrounds, it appeared that it wasn’t taboo for the cultivators of this land to reveal themselves to mortals.
Han Li thought with a pensive expression.
Currently, the old man had translated Han Li’s words for the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was initially shocked before revealing pleasant surprise. He then said a long string of unintelligible words towards Han Li with an extremely excited expression.
