"It seems quite promising—indeed, it must be the Magus Monkey Isle," said Lady Zun, the Saint of the Thousand Springs, after gazing at the mountain peak for a long while, finally exhaling softly. "As Master Qianchou mentioned, the island lies in the direction the Magus Monkeys face, at a distance of one month's journey across the sea. Therefore, we should head southwest." The young lady in the feathered robe studied the mountain for a moment, then glanced southwest, speaking calmly. "According to the message left by our esteemed elder, the island is indeed in this general area—but..." Lady Zun hesitated slightly. "By now, Master, is there anything you still wish to keep undisclosed?" Elder Long, observing the scene, furrowed his brows, speaking with a touch of impatience. "Lord Long has misunderstood. It is not that I have concealed anything, but the elder has, in addition to the clues already mentioned, subtly emphasized that when we approach the island, we must be especially cautious—seeming to imply there are still unknown perils nearby. However, his instructions on this matter are only vaguely stated, and we ourselves are not fully aware of the details. That is why we did not mention it to our esteemed friends earlier." The Saintess of Qianchou explained. After a moment of thoughtful consideration, the elder of the Long family said solemnly, "I still possess two ancient stone automata from the prehistoric era. Though their offensive capabilities are somewhat limited, their defensive strength is quite comparable to that of a condensed-stage cultivator. However, to activate them, I must begin the ritual and refining process at least ten days in advance." "May I also bring my set of magical banners," said Han Li, after a brief pause. "Their power is considerable, and I'll place them aboard the vessel." These banners were originally obtained from a magisterial magus of the demonic lineage whom Han Li had defeated—indeed, their potency is truly impressive even for a typical condensed-stage cultivator. "I have several cold-water rhinoceroses under my care, known for their thick hides and powerful exhalations of cold breath. I shall use them to replace the current sea creatures," said the Saintess Qianqiu, after a moment's reflection. Seeing that Han Li and the other condensed-stage cultivators had already taken initiative, the others soon followed suit, each presenting their own treasures. Everyone knew clearly that the items presented were far from the true life-saving assets held by each of them. Yet, after this careful arrangement, the giant vessel's survival capabilities had dramatically improved, and everyone felt a great sense of reassurance. From that point on, the vessel changed course and sped steadily toward the southwest. Many people began to become active and busy aboard the vessel. Han Li also positioned his set of magical banners at several critical points on the vessel. The elderly scholar began inscribing various symbols and patterns onto the vessel's surface and embedding several array discs into its body. Not long afterward, the entire vessel appeared completely transformed—its leading sea creatures, once in place, were now replaced by eight sea beasts resembling rhinoceroses, each about five to six zhang long, with a gentle blue glow emanating from their bodies. A month had passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the vessel continued to glide across the magical sea, yet the once calm black waters now surged violently. Massive waves surged from all directions, crashing fiercely against the vessel. The low-hanging black clouds had already dropped down to heights of fifty to sixty zhang. Roaring winds surged from within the mist, accompanied by flashes of silver arcs that occasionally sent massive electric arcs plummeting down, striking directly upon the great vessel. Yet the vessel was enveloped in a shimmering green light shield, and when the electric arcs hit it, they merely flickered slightly before vanishing without a trace. In front of the vessel, Han Li Long's elder ancestor and others stood steadily, murmuring softly among themselves, their expressions grave. "We've been navigating these waters for seven days now, yet haven't spotted this island. Could it be that the danger mentioned by the nobleman's esteemed figure refers merely to the current storm?" The elder ancestor gazed at the towering waves lashing against the vessel's outer surface, his face growing somber. "Master Long is jesting—of course, it can't simply be this minor inconvenience!" Right now, the key issue is that my divine awareness is severely disrupted in this sea region, allowing me to only sense events within ten li—making it much more difficult to locate that island. "The Thousand-Year Saint Princess frowned and said. "Thankfully, both Brother Han and Brother Bai possess the spiritual sight ability, enabling them to see farther. Otherwise, we would truly be fishing for needles in a vast sea." The Lóng family elder glanced at Han Li and the Saint Spirit enveloped in white light beside him, then sighed again. At this moment, Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, gazing toward one side of the great vessel. On the other side, Bai Qi, though still indistinct in appearance, seemed to emit a visible beam of white light from her forehead, which then faded into the surging waves approaching from the opposite side in a translucent, ethereal manner. "Brother Lóng, don't expect my clear-sighted spiritual vision to be particularly effective." My spiritual sight is different from Bai's innate gift—it was cultivated through postnatal practice. Each time I activate it, I consume a significant amount of spiritual energy, making it impractical to use frequently." Hearing this, Han Li gently withdrew the blue glow in his eyes and smiled wistfully. "Han brother is being too modest. Although your spiritual sight cannot be sustained for long, even providing some assistance to Bai brother will greatly enhance our chances of locating the target." The Thousand-Age Princess smiled politely and said with genuine courtesy. Upon hearing this, Han Li briefly drew his lips, then chuckled softly, without further explanation, and once again summoned spiritual energy to activate his spiritual sight. Though the Thousand-Age Princess and the Leng family elder lacked the spiritual sight ability, neither immediately returned to the cabin. Instead, they remained quietly by the side, each pondering their own thoughts. Yet both maintained a calm demeanor, and their expressions revealed little about what they were thinking. Time passed, one moment after another. Han Li once again drew back the blue glow in his eyes, settling in place to regulate his breath for a while before casually reactivating his spiritual vision and gazing toward the distant sea surface. This time, however, the blue glow in his pupils flickered only briefly before his face suddenly grew filled with astonishment, and he abruptly redirected half of his inner spiritual power. The blue glow in his eyes instantly became even more brilliant, so that even those merely glancing at him from afar found their eyes momentarily stinging. Han Li’s unusual actions naturally drew the attention of Long Family’s elder patriarch and the Immortal Saint Maiden. Yet neither of them spoke or interrupted, instead exchanging expressions of surprise and delight, both intently observing his every movement. "White Brother, could you also look toward the area five thousand li away from here? Perhaps I’ve misjudged something," Han Li said, taking a deep breath and suddenly addressing Bai Qi. "Five thousand li—such a distance, Brother Han can perceive it! At that range, I can only manage a tentative effort." After staring at Han Li in surprise, Bai Qi finally managed to nod and agree. Then, tilting his head slightly, the beam of white light he emitted shifted direction, sweeping toward where Han Li was looking, while the light on his body circulated and grew even brighter. "There seems to be something over there, indeed, but it's too distant for me to see clearly. I can't be certain it's an island," Bai Qi said in a steady voice after a while, as the light dimmed. "Ling and the two of you—what exactly did you see?" Old Master Long finally couldn't hold back and spoke out. The Saintess of Thousand Autumns also listened intently. On the other side, there was a region enveloped in lightning, within which a dark shape appeared, though it remained somewhat blurred due to the overwhelming power of the lightning. Han Li spoke plainly, without delay. "Lightning—don't we also possess lightning power here? What's the difference?" the Saintess of Thousand Autumns frowned slightly, expressing her confusion. "Things so specific need no further explanation from Han—once you arrive close enough and take a look, you'll see right away." Han shook his head, his expression somewhat odd. "Very well, let's immediately turn the ship around!" The elder of Long family replied without hesitation, then raised his hand and pointed it toward the eight frost-water rhinoceroses ahead. Instantly, the great vessel shuddered and veered sharply, heading swiftly toward the sea area where Han was gazing. Under the elder's instruction, the other spiritual race members and the young lady in the feathered robe also stepped out of the ship cabins, their faces glowing with excitement. Half a day later, the vessel reached a location thousands of li away and finally came into view of the sea surface Han had described. Before them, on the dark sea, a vast expanse of silver electric light surged like a waterfall from the sky, crashing down upon the sea surface and forming countless floating balls of lightning that bobbed and swayed before bursting into splendor, creating a wide expanse of thunderous sea. The roar resounded throughout the heavenly realm! Through the cascading rain like a waterfall, faint silhouettes of dark figures could be seen in the Lei Hai Sect, yet under the flash of lightning, ordinary people simply couldn't make out what they were. However, for Han Li and Bai Qi, who possessed the divine sight ability, this close-up view was nothing remarkable. Even from a distance of a thousand li, they had simultaneously confirmed that the dark shapes in the Lei Hai were indeed a massive island. Yet, the island was completely enveloped by the same sea of lightning on all four sides. No matter which direction they chose, they would inevitably have to push through the storm. "Then perhaps the danger lies precisely in these lightning surges. If so, though it may be troublesome, we should be able to make it through," said Long's elder patriarch, gazing steadily ahead, as he pondered. The Qianqiu Holy Princess frowned deeply, hesitating to offer any immediate counterargument. "If Long brother thinks it's the lightning that poses the danger, then he has mistaken the very point." "Han Li raised his head and carefully observed the distant thunder sea, then a flash of blue light passed through his eyes, and suddenly said, 'Han brother, do you mean to say you've made another discovery?' The elder of Long family was startled, and said slowly, gazing steadily at Han Li.
