After a series of shocking storms, it is finally ushered in a rare sunny day after the rain.

The Flowing Cloud Flying Boat shuttles through the blue sea sky, like an unstoppable majestic beast......

The sky is clear, and the sea is calm.

For nearly half a month, after sailing in the boundless sea, island sea cities quietly appeared in the area in front of Liuyunzhou......

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at Whale Island City ahead, please pack up and prepare to leave the cabin......"

Friendly reminders spread throughout the interior of the Liuyun Boat, followed by a burst of impatient footsteps.

In the room, the Chu Marks surrounded by thousands of brilliant runes were like the bright moon being held by the stars, and bursts of strong spiritual power fluctuations continued to surge out of its body......

Chu Zhen's ten fingers flicked continuously, his breath flickered stronger and weaker, and the light patterns emitted from his body flickered brightly and darkly......

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a low trembling sound, like a rapidly receding sea wave, all the runes that shrouded him directly dimmed, and then like a broken foam, turned into a little fluorescent light and dissipated......

"Huh...... Chu Zhen exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and a ray of gloom flashed in his eyes, "It's still a little bit ...... It seems that there is still another opportunity to break through the Celestial Pattern Master......"

In the past few days, Chu Zhen has never left the room to study the art of runes.

With the control of the power of the Immortal Rune Spirit Tree becoming more and more proficient, its integration with the Dao Tree became more and more stable, and Chu Zhen also faintly felt that he had broken through the critical line of the Heavenly Pattern Master, but for half a month, he was not able to cross the threshold smoothly......

Although he is still stuck in the bottleneck of the ninth-level earth pattern master, his control and use of rune art have improved a lot.

The quiet atmosphere is perfect for spiritual practice.

"Brother Chu Chen......" At this time, Ye Yao's voice came from outside the door, "We have arrived at Whale Island City......"

Whale Island City?

Chu Zhen's eyes lit up, this time was really just right.

Immediately, he got up and went to open the door.

The first thing that caught your eye was Ye Yao's clean and delicate smile, "Brother Chu Zhen, you see, Noni's injuries have recovered ......"

Ye Yao raised the Yin-Yang Beast in his hand.

After more than ten days of cultivation, coupled with Ye Yao's careful care, the Yin Yang Beast regained its previous radiance......

"It's good!" Chu Zhen smiled, reached out and rubbed Noni's head, the latter pinned his head over, and let out a slight 'woo', I don't know if he was expressing his dissatisfaction with tsundere, or thanking Chu Chen.

"Let's go find someone else!"

"Hmm!" Ye Yao nodded.

"We've come ......"

Just as they were about to leave, Mu Feng, Long Xuanshuang and his party appeared at the corner of the aisle.

"So punctual?" Chu Zhen smiled dumbly.

"Of course...... Mu Feng walked over and pinched the Yin-Yang Beast casually, "Winner in life! Brother Noni ......"

"Whew!" Noni growled in dissatisfaction.

"Yo...... Say you're still not happy, don't know the grateful guy. ”

In the past ten days that Chu Zhen has been in retreat and cultivating the art of runes, Long Xuanshuang and Mu Feng have come a few times. During this period, everyone already knew that Chu Zhen saved Noni with the summoning power of the 'Fighting Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram'.

......

"It's a shame that you can take advantage of that. Han Yiquan, who was following behind, spoke.

Although he and Qiao Xiaowan were not present that day, when they heard Mu Feng and the mouse talk about it, they couldn't help but admire Chu Zhen's reaction ability.

"You two have broken through the Heavenly Mystery Realm?" Qiao Xiaowan suddenly popped out.

The objects of her inquiry were none other than Mouse and Mu Feng.

"Damn, I was discovered, why do I want to pretend to be a wave one day!" Mu Feng said with slanted eyes.

"Cut, the two of you have the worst cultivation in the team, what else is there to pretend to be......" Qiao Xiaowan said unceremoniously.

"I said, little sister, it's easy for you to have no friends like this. ”

"Who's your little sister?"

"What do you say?" Mu Feng raised his hand to compare Biqiao Xiaowan's height, and said cheaply, "The king of heaven covers the tiger, Xiaowan is one meter and five ......"

Playing cheap in a single round, no one here can bear Mu Feng.

Qiao Xiaowan's teeth itched directly, and Han Yiquan on the side hurriedly stopped, and glanced at Mu Feng, "Don't say it, don't look at this girl's small and short person, start a fire, one punch can break your ribs......"

Mu Feng suddenly shut up, and he remembered that Qiao Xiaowan had a well-known nickname in Dongsheng Prefecture, the violent demon girl......

The rat on the side smiled and said, "We have to thank the predecessors of Zephyr for this......"

"It's a piece of cake, no need to say thank you, just bring me more tea and water in the future, and just wash and fold the quilt. Xi Fengzi put on a posture of being a master of the world.

For this, Mu Feng didn't dare to refute it.

If it weren't for the elixir that Xi Fengzi helped refine, the two of them would not have broken through the bottleneck so quickly.

......

"What about Gu You's predecessors?" Chu Zhen also found out at this time that Gu You was not in the ranks of everyone.

"yes, I almost forgot about it...... The man wasn't in the room......" replied the mouse.

"Not here?" Chu Zhen was stunned.

"That's right, and she left this ......"

After the mouse finished speaking, he took out a thick scroll and handed it to Chu Zhen.

With a full stomach full of doubts, Chu Zhen took the scroll and spread it out, presenting a clear topographic map in front of everyone......

The topographic map is completely hand-drawn, and it shows in great detail the route from 'Whale Island City' to 'Wild Sword Ancient Plains', 'Immortal Demon Tomb' and 'Shenxing Prefecture'.

Looking at the road map in front of him, Chu Jian understood that the other party was afraid that he had already left.

"Did that senior say goodbye?" Ye Yao asked.

Chu Zhen nodded with a deep gaze, "It's not like saying goodbye, everything that should be explained to me before." ”

Gu Yu gave Chu Zhen the opportunity to choose, he could look for them one by one, or act separately......

Since Chu Zhen chose the latter, then the next thing is up to them.

"Although the character of that old man is a little eccentric, he takes good care of our ......," said the mouse.

"How can you see it?" Mu Feng asked rhetorically.

"Look at the map above, all the dangerous areas on the side of the Immortal Demon Tomb have been marked for us, and it is impossible for ordinary people to be so careful. ”

"Makes sense...... It's just that I don't understand one thing, it seems that the Liuyun Boat hasn't landed yet, right?

Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

Xi Fengzi was not very surprised, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "It is not strange that people who can cross from Dongshengzhou to Muzhou in an instant can leave this Liuyun Golden Boat without knowing it. ”

Chu Zhen nodded approvingly, then looked at the topographic map scroll in his hand, and secretly hoped in his heart that no matter where Luo Mengshang was, as long as she was safe.

......

A moment later, the Liuyun Boat docked!

When Chu Zhen and his party stepped out of the cabin, the cool and salty sea breeze blew in their faces, and this feeling couldn't help but make people feel refreshed......

The same as the Liuyuntai over there in the same industry.

Dozens of huge stone pillars supporting the huge hull of the Liuyun Golden Boat supported the huge hull of the Liuyun Golden Boat.

However, on the other side of the city is the land Liuyuntai, and the Liuyuntai of this Whale Island City is built by the sea......

Walking down the high stairs, on both sides is the blue water, the waves of the sea on the beach, coupled with the blue sky and white clouds, a landscape, refreshing, open-minded......

"What a great place!" Han Yiquan exclaimed.

"If you weren't in a hurry*, I would have liked to stay here for ten days and a half months......" Mouse's small eyes were also flashing with bright light.

After all, it was the first time to come to the island city, and the new and exotic scenery here was indeed a sight to behold for several people.

Walking down the clouds one after another, the vast square is bustling, people come and go, especially lively.

Because the triennial 'Battle of the Heavenly Runes' is about to be held, Whale Island City has gathered excellent tattoo artists from all over the world.

Whale Island City, which is already located in a bustling city, is even more popular.

......

"Where are we going next?" asked Long Xuanshuang softly.

Chu Zhen once again spread out the topographic map left by Gu You, and found the route of the location of the Immortal Demon Tomb.

"The Immortal Demon Mound is located in the northwest of Whale Island City, that is, below the Middle Continent...... However, we first have to pass through the 'Giant Crocodile Bay' and then climb over a few mountains before we can reach the Immortal Demon Tomb......"

The eyes of several people followed Chu Zhen's instructions.

On the way from Whale Island City to Giant Crocodile Bay, a series of nameless islands are also marked.

The section of the route is obviously longer than that from Zhiye City to Whale Island City, so it seems that everyone is still a long distance away from the Immortal Demon Tomb.

......

"I'm going to inquire where the Flowing Cloud Boat is on the way to Giant Crocodile Bay...... said.

Chu Zhen nodded.

With that, the mouse walked to the crowd on the side of the road.

After a while, the other party returned.

"Whale Island City's Liuyun West Terrace ......"

Whale Island City is the first land outside the eastern continental boundary, and its geographical location can be described as extending in all directions. It is not only a round-trip route connecting the city, but also serves as a transit place.

"Let's go!"

Without any stops, everyone went directly to Liuyun Xitai.

......

One is in the east and the other is in the west, so naturally it is necessary to pass through the inner city of Whale Island City.

A bustling and lively exotic atmosphere permeates the entire inner city, and because of the Battle of the Heavenly Runes, Whale Island City and several large nearby islands are also very popular.

And, when walking through the street, Chu Zhen and his party also inadvertently learned the general layout of this place.

Whale Island City is jointly managed by the lord of the castle and several surrounding families.

Among them, the city lord Chi Yu is the first, and several other families are auxiliary.

Centered on the largest Whale Island City, there are ten large islands, dozens of medium-sized islands, and thousands of scattered islands......

The population density of Whale Island City is also very impressive.

......

......

A few hours later, according to the guidance of passers-by, Chu Zhen and his party successfully found Liuyun Xitai.

Compared with the east platform, the construction of the west platform is particularly spectacular.

The vast site is clearly layered, and the majestic viewing platforms stand in rows.

And above the waters on the shore, three huge golden boats hung between the sky and the earth like prehistoric monsters.

Looking at the situation in front of them, Chu Zhen and the others secretly exclaimed, it was really a big deal.

......

Immediately, everyone came to the reception room where the boarding order was purchased.

A lavishly dressed three-storey loft.

The attic was arranged somewhat like a pawnshop, with a counter arranged horizontally on the inside, and a young woman with a beautiful face sat inside.

Seeing Chu Zhen and his party coming in, the young woman was a little surprised.

"How many of you are here to buy the boarding order?"

"Yes, give me eight boarding orders to Crocodile Bay......

Chu Zhen said without thinking.

The young woman was a little strange, there were more people coming to Whale Island City these days, and there were not many people leaving.

Strange as it is, strange enough, the young woman still gave a warm reception.

"What kind of cabin do I need?"

"Wait!" Chu Zhen replied casually.

"You don't need to be so expensive, just medium......" Long Xuanshuang on the side persuaded.

The others nodded their heads as well.

"The special ones are really not cost-effective, anyway, when we cultivated, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Han Yiquan also agreed.

"Then let's be medium!" Chu Zhen didn't insist.

"The middle space is five billion top-grade yuan crystals, a total of four billion, thank you......"

The young woman gave a number.

Just as Chu Zhen was about to pay, the young woman said again, "Please show the 'pass' to a few people......

Pass?

Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

"What pass?" asked Han Yiquan.

"Don't you have a pass?" the young woman also looked strange, and then she asked, "Haven't you just come from the Eastern Continent?"

"Is there any problem?" Chu Zhen asked.

The young woman smiled politely, shook her head, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, because the management between the islands in the various seas is very strict...... In order to prevent people from each continent from intruding into their borders at will, they need a 'pass' to travel with each other...... It's like people from other places who want to go to the East Continent also need a pass......"

"Where's the pass?"

"The 'Fish Leaping Tower' in the city. The young woman replied, and continued, "The luck of the few is actually quite good, because the city lord broke through the Eternal Realm last month, and the whole city is happy...... A great discount will be given for the pass. ”

"How much is the preferential price?" Mu Feng asked with slanted eyes.

"Hmm...... There shouldn't be a need for 10 billion top-grade Yuan Crystals!"

"Damn!" Mu Feng directly burst out with a foul mouth, "It seems that the so-called 'pass' is an excuse used by Whale Island City to circle money, right? To be honest, in such a big place, others won't care about where there is one more person and one less person ......."

Although Mu Feng's words hit the nail on the head, the young woman was not angry, she still smiled politely, "Childe is actually right when he says this, after all, this Liuyun Boat has no direct relationship with Whale Island City, but the City Lord's Mansion and several major families need to maintain order here, so they can only get a certain amount of remuneration in the form of a 'pass'......"

"Then the City Lord's Mansion should also find the forces behind the Liuyun Boat to reach out and ask for money, why should you ask for it from the passengers?"

"This?" the young woman was speechless, and could only smile awkwardly, "This is a common rule in all seas, please don't embarrass me, a weak woman......"

Mu Feng shook his hand, as if he was bullying the other party.

Chu Zhen didn't say much, just follow the customs! Anyway, it's just one more procedure.

......

Subsequently, several people left Liuyun Xitai and came to the inner city of Whale Island City.

After a few inquiries, Chu Zhen and his party found the location of the 'Fish Leaping Tower'.

The imposing attic is antique, and the three words "Fish Leaping Building" on the plaque in front of the door are elegant and light, like the traces of live fish swimming by.

Chu Zhen and his companions stepped inside, the interior was spacious and bright, the lobby was strangely decorated, and a fountain of living water could be seen in the central pool......

A few red koi fish with glittering scales are full of vitality, such as auspiciousness.

......

The number of people in the Yuyue Tower was not very large, and everyone lined up in front of a long table, and after paying a lot of money in turn, they got a scroll similar to the holy decree of the imperial palace.

"You're here to apply for a sea pass?"

An old man dressed neatly dressed walked over and asked with a smile.

Chu Zhen nodded.

"How many people need a pass?"

"Both!"

"Oh?" the old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took Chu Zhen and a few people to the innermost counter, "A few people can be given priority to ......"

Everyone else in the hall was slightly upset.

"Why can the latest one be given priority?"

"Isn't it just that there are too many people?"

......

But everyone just dared to be angry, and only dared to talk in a low voice, after all, this was the territory of the City Lord's Mansion.

......

Here, the old man took out a gold record book from the counter.

"Where are you from, where do you live?"

"Donglu Dongkatsuju!"

"That's a long way off!"

The old man looked a little surprised, and then asked a few ordinary questions, Chu Zhen answered more casually, and the old man didn't delve into it, and simply registered.

"There are eight in total, each of them is 8 billion high-grade Yuan Crystals, a total of 64 billion, only 60 billion of you......

The old man had an 'amiable' smile on his face.

"Robbing ......," Mu Feng scolded secretly.

Mouse, Ye Yao and the others also frowned slightly.

As for Han Yiquan, Qiao Xiaowan, Xi Fengzi looked like he had nothing to do with himself, anyway, he was asking for Chu Zhen's money, so they didn't feel distressed at all......

Chu Zhen shook his head, then took out a storage ring.

The old man also enthusiastically took out eight scrolls from behind the counter, and the workmanship of the scrolls was very exquisite, and it looked much more exquisite than the holy decree issued by the emperor.

......

While Chu Zhen handed over the ring, he also reached out to pick up the scroll.

But just a second before his fingertips were about to touch the scrolls, there was a "...... bang", and the scorching waves of qi rose one after another, and a green flame that appeared out of thin air suddenly enveloped those scrolls......

The old man was so frightened that he hurriedly let go, but in the blink of an eye, all eight passes were burned to ashes.
