Bai Yi knew that what Shang An said was the truth.
Unless he had great luck, he couldn’t reach the top in a short amount of time.
However, he had plenty of time. He could take it slow.
Originally, he thought it would be difficult to encounter opportunities, but it seemed that he already had.
Sure enough, not long after following Shang An’s lead, he felt s.p.a.ce distortions.
It was as if he had entered a special pa.s.sageway and entered a place of endless clouds.
One day later, the clouds were below them, and there was pressure in the sky.
Three days later, nothing could be seen below.
Seven days later, the sunlight began to disappear.
Fifteen days later, starlight gradually blossomed.
It was on this day that Bai Yi saw an altar on top of the mountain peak.
The altar marked the end of the mountain’s peak.
“Did we make it?” Bai Yi was in a daze.
“Luck is on your side. According to my calculations, it should have taken at least half a year to get here, but I didn’t expect that after you joined, we would arrive half a month later,” Shang An said.
Bai Yi smiled.
He knew that this senior was just being kind to him. He could not affect such a place in any way or form.
“Fellow Disciple, don’t think too much about it. It’s indeed because of you. Your cultivation technique and other things can affect places. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to reach this place,” said Shang An.
“How so?” Bai Yi was curious.
“Perhaps it’s because of an opportunity that you encountered in your early years. You can tell that it’s extraordinary just by looking at it.” Shang An smiled.
Bai Yi did not think too much about it.
Since he could not figure it out, there was no need to think about it.
However, he had gained many opportunities this time.
His cultivation had also been refined. On the other hand, he felt that he could comprehend new spells along the way.
He might even be able to raise his ranking when he returned to his sect.
However, the most important thing was to get the item.
This was probably the divine item that the sect had been looking for.
However, would the person in front of him really hand it over to him just like that?
Bai Yi did not believe it.
How could there be such a selfless person in this world?
The most likely scenario was that this person intended to use him as a shield against some unknown danger to get the item for himself.
That was normal in the cultivation world.
He was prepared either way.
Anything could happen.
After a while, the two of them successfully stepped onto the stairs of the altar.
For some reason, they felt like they were going down again.
But in fact, they were rising up.
They heard the sound of ocean waves.
The only explanation was that the divine item was extraordinary.
“Let’s go and take a look,” Shang An said gently.
There were no obstacles along the way. There was a box in the huge altar.
There was something written on it.
Shang An walked over to it, picked up the box, and wiped it gently.
The word “seal” disappeared gradually.
“As expected, the seal has no meaning anymore.” Shang An sighed.
“Senior, aren’t you going to open it?” Bai Yi asked.
Shang An nodded.
Then, he slowly opened the box.
The sound of the waves spread out.
For a moment, Bai Yi felt like he was on an endless sea.
But soon he came to his senses and looked at the box again. He found a sea-blue pearl on it. Waves surged inside the pearl.
It was as if the sea had shrunk in it.
A tide surged and struck the edge of the pearl.
“This is a divine item?” Bai Yi was surprised.
He did not see anything special about it.
The only thing was that the waves inside were real. If they were released, they would definitely act as a powerful weapon.
“This thing is called the Desolate Sea Pearl. It contains a part of the Ancient Desolate Sea Region and has absorbed the fortune of the sea realm. It can protect and bless the regions where it is placed.” Shang An smiled and closed the box.
Then, he wiped it again, and the word “seal” appeared on it once again.
After that, he handed the box to Bai Yi. “Here. This belongs to you. I only came here to comprehend heaven and earth for my cultivation. If you’re not in a hurry, we can experience the changes of the heavens and the earth together.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Senior.” Bai Yi accepted the box without hesitation.
“No problem. It’s livelier with more people here,” said Shang An and smiled.
Afterward, his aura spread throughout the surroundings, and for a moment, the winds and clouds changed.

Jiang Hao spent the morning in the Spirit Herb Garden. He then went to the Lawless Tower in the afternoon to learn about formations.
Zhuang Yuzhen, Mi Lingyue, and Old Man Corpse Sea were all teaching him.
After all, it was about basic array formation. They could easily teach it.
Jiang Hao studied very attentively. But learning about it for a few days would do nothing. People needed to practice it for years to get good at it.
His talent in formation was very minimal.
He had to think of a way to know the array formations that he could use and learn them.
Otherwise, twenty years would not be nearly enough for him to study them all.
He had no time to keep strengthening the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron since he was using up much of his time to learn about formations.
He needed to find the Holy Master soon.
At the end of August, Jiang Hao accepted a mission from the sect.
He planned to make a trip to Azure Mountain.
He still had an ident.i.ty connected to that place, so it would not be difficult to get in.
However, he felt that the Holy Master had become much more active recently, especially near the Heavenly Note Sect.
It was very likely because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
In a courtyard in the Azure Mountain Sect, an old man with slightly graying hair sat on an armchair. His brows were furrowed in thought. He looked dignified.
Li Qi, the Elder of the outer sect of Azure Mountain, frowned when he listened to the grim report of the three men in front of him.
“They’re all gone?”
“Yes, they’re all gone. They must have been killed or captured,” said a middle-aged man in a low voice.
“What about the people who went in afterward?” Li Qi asked.
“They disappeared too.” The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Qi’s brows furrowed even more.
He knew the location of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and wanted to obtain it in his own way.
He had thought that as long as he could see the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he would be able to s.n.a.t.c.h it away with the power of his soul.
