In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

"Come on!"

He took the Netherworld Token from Biyao and activated the spirit boat with all his might.

The Ghostly Boat broke free from the remaining suction force, transforming into a black streak and rapidly moving away from the underwater ruins.

Looking back, the sea gradually returned to calm, with only the murky water hinting at the danger that had just occurred.

"so close!"

Biyao patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear.

"That banner is really powerful, are you alright?"

Su Han shook his head, trying to regulate his somewhat disordered breathing.

"It's alright. Fortunately, that magical artifact is ancient and has only retained a tenth of its power."

Lu Xueqi looked at Su Han, a hint of barely perceptible concern flashing in her cool eyes.

"Don't take such risks next time."

Su Han smiled, knowing that she meant well.

"The situation was urgent, and we had no choice but to do it. However, this time it wasn't a complete loss."

He opened his hand, revealing a small black fragment that had been peeled off the flagpole, bearing runes similar to those on the Netherworld Decree.

"These ruins are very likely related to the Netherworld Path. It seems the direction of Liubo Mountain is correct."

After this ordeal, the three became even more vigilant.

On this vast ocean, the unknown dangers are far more terrifying than the enemies that are out in the open.

The spirit boat continued its journey, and two more days passed.

According to the gnomon, they are gradually approaching the sea area where Liubo Mountain is located.

The weather around us started to become strange.

One moment the sky is clear and blue, the next it may be covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

Huge whirlpools often appear on the sea surface, exuding an ominous aura.

Sometimes you can see some strange marine creatures, which are huge, bizarre in shape, and exude a powerful, eerie aura.

Fortunately, the concealment array of the Ghostly Spirit Boat was indeed extraordinary, and with Su Han's careful control, he always managed to avoid danger without incident.

On this day, a thick, impenetrable fog appeared on the sea ahead.

The mist was grayish-white, obscuring vision and greatly hindering even the divine sense from reaching far.

The sundial's pointer pointed straight into the depths of the mist.

"It seems that Liubo Mountain is just behind this mist."

Su Han stopped the spirit boat and stared ahead.

Ancient texts record that there are naturally formed mazes and restrictions around Liubo Mountain, which seems to be this mist.

"This fog has the effect of blocking divine senses, everyone be careful and stay close to me."

Su Han steered the spirit boat slowly into the mist.

Upon entering the fog, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

Visibility was less than ten feet, the sea became deathly silent, and even the wind seemed to have stopped.

The only sound was the faint noise made as the spirit boat broke through the fog and moved forward.

A feeling of oppression settled over me.

The starlight on the sundial dimmed a bit, but the pointer remained steady.

Su Han activated his divine sense with all his might, sensing everything around him.

In this fog, it is very easy to lose one's sense of direction; without the guidance of a stardial, one would probably go in circles very quickly.

After sailing for some distance, Su Han suddenly felt a pang of fear.

He suddenly steered the spirit boat sharply to the left!

On the very path the spirit boat was originally traveling, an invisible spatial rift quietly appeared, tearing a hole in the nearby mist.

A dangerous black light gleamed at the edge of the crack.

"Space crack!"

Lu Xueqi's expression changed slightly.

This is a terrifying phenomenon that occurs when the laws of heaven and earth are unstable. It is extremely powerful, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator who touches it will either die or be seriously injured.

Su Han's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

If it had been a moment later, the spirit boat would probably have been cut in two.

The perilous terrain outside Liubo Mountain truly lives up to its reputation.

He became even more careful, pushing his divine sense to its limit while simultaneously injecting his true essence into the sundial.

The sundial received a power boost, its light brightening slightly, and the starry sky projection on it seemed more sensitive to the surrounding energy fluctuations. With the sundial's warning and Su Han's powerful divine sense, the spirit boat navigated the mist with difficulty, avoiding several hidden spatial rifts and strange energy turbulence.

This process is extremely mentally taxing.

Even Lu Xueqi and Biyao felt a wave of exhaustion.

After an unknown amount of time, the fog ahead seemed to have thinned a bit.

In the mist, one can vaguely see the silhouette of a huge, shadowy building standing tall in the depths of the fog.

An aura of vastness, antiquity, and faint pressure emanated from the direction of the shadows.

"Is that... Mount Ryubo?"

Biyao gazed into the distance and murmured.

Su Han's spirits lifted, and he urged the spirit boat to speed towards the shadow.

The closer you get, the thinner the fog becomes.

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth became richer, even carrying a trace of the ancient and desolate aura unique to the ancient times.

Finally, the spirit boat broke out of the fog.

Suddenly, everything becomes clear!
Under a clear blue sky, an enormous island appears on the distant horizon.

The island is covered with rolling hills and lush vegetation. The towering main peak is shrouded in mist, obscuring its true form.

The faint, auspicious silhouette of cranes could be seen circling around.

Contrary to the rumors of an ominous place, the scene before us was actually one of celestial grandeur.

However, Su Han and his two companions dared not be careless in the slightest.

The calmer and more peaceful the exterior, the greater the danger that may be hidden beneath.

The sundial's pointer pointed straight at that island.

They had finally arrived at their destination.

Su Han maneuvered the spirit boat and stopped it some distance from the shore to observe carefully.

The waters surrounding the island are crystal clear, and the beaches are white; nothing seems out of the ordinary.

However, he keenly sensed that there were extremely complex and powerful restrictive fluctuations in the sky above the island.

It's probably impossible to fly directly up there.

"Find a place to dock and proceed with caution."

As Su Han spoke, he steered the spirit boat slowly along the coastline, searching for a suitable landing site.

After sailing for a while, they discovered a small bay.

The bay was calm and peaceful, seemingly a good place to settle down.

Just as the spirit boat was about to enter the bay, the Netherworld Token on Su Han's chest suddenly became scalding hot without warning!

At the same time, the pointer on the sundial also began to shake violently!
"No! There's danger!"

Su Han's expression changed, and without hesitation, he steered the spirit boat to retreat rapidly!

Almost the instant the spirit boat reversed, the seawater in the calm bay they were about to enter suddenly began to boil!
A gigantic maw, covered in sharp teeth, suddenly emerged from the water and lunged at the spot where they had just been standing!

That enormous maw was astonishingly large, enough to swallow the entire Ghost Ship!

A foul, putrid stench filled the air.

The giant jaws snapped open, producing a dull thud and stirring up towering waves.

A massive, mountain-like figure slowly rose from the sea.

It was a giant python, its entire body covered in dark blue scales, with fin-like organs on either side of its head, and a pair of cold, merciless vertical pupils filled with a tyrannical aura.

The demonic aura it emitted was as vast as the sea, reaching the level of the Nascent Soul stage!

"It's an ancient, exotic species, the Sea-Covering Python!"

Lu Xueqi recognized the giant beast, her tone grave.

The sea python stared intently at the spirit boat, which had retreated to a safe distance, and let out a low roar, clearly furious that its prey had flown away.

Its massive body churned the seawater, creating whirlpools.

Su Han felt a chill run down his spine.

They had barely approached Liubo Mountain when they encountered a guardian demon beast at the Nascent Soul stage.

Beneath the surface of this blessed land, there were indeed hidden dangers at every turn.

The adventure at Liubo Mountain truly begins now.

He gripped the Azure Nether Sword tightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the terrifying beast.

A fierce battle seems inevitable. (End of Chapter)
