Three days later, the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm…
Qin Nan disguised himself as a weak scholar after leaving Supreme Chang Xiao a message. He boarded the Realm-Crossing Immortal Vessel that was arranged for him.
The Realm-Crossing Immortal Vessel was different from the others. It was thoroughly blue with a dazzling glow. Several auras in the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm were pulsating deep inside it.
Even a Peerless Ruler in the early stage would struggle to damage it.
After all, the First Immortal Realm was located in the easternmost of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realms. It was a long and dangerous journey ahead, thus a powerful immortal vessel was essential to reach the destination safely.
That being said, those in the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm could easily rely on their cultivation to traverse between the Small Immortal Realms.
Qin Nan was allocated the best room on the vessel. It was made of Spirit-Refining South Wood, which was capable of preventing others from spying on him with their Divine Sense or eye-techniques. Qin Nan did not have to worry about exposing his ident.i.ty. He sat with his legs crossed and began to cultivate.
He was going to tell Mu Zhengze, Zhao Li’er, and Wu Huisheng that he was departing for the First Immortal Realm, but he had no choice but to give up when Envoy Feng Hua did not allow him.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. Five days later, amid the dark boundless rift where lights were flickering in the distance, an immortal vessel suddenly unleashed a formidable aura and forcibly broke through a barrier.
Following it, the sound of splas.h.i.+ng waves echoed in the ears of every cultivator on the vessel. Even Qin Nan who was staying in his room heard it loud and clear.
“Immortal Eyes of the Divine G.o.d of Battle, activate!”
Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open with two white flames flickering within them.
Ahead of the immortal vessel was a faint golden sea with no visible ends. It felt like a mysterious force was driving it. The waves were rolling fiercely with an astounding aura.
“Fellow cultivators, we have arrived in the Sacred Ocean Realm. We are not allowed to cross it with force, thus you are on your own now. Once you cross it, you will arrive at the boundary of the First Immortal Realm,” the peak Heaven Immortal driving the vessel said.
“What? We have to cross the ocean ourselves?”
“Are you telling us to rely on ourselves even though we have paid so much Immortal Stones for it?”
The peak Heaven Immortals on the vessel were displeased.
Considering the shocking aura of the Sacred Ocean Realm, they were most likely going to find themselves in danger if they tried to cross it with force.
The two Peerless Rulers on the vessel did not say a word. They quickly flew across the ocean. The other Heaven Immortals had no choice but to withhold their grudge.
A peak Heaven Immortal went inside Qin Nan’s room and brought his fists together, “Senior Brother Qin Nan, you won’t have trouble crossing the ocean with your cultivation, but if you stumble into a gray storm, remember to take cover on a nearby island instead of confronting it.”
The three peak Heaven Immortals on the vessel were Envoy Feng Hua’s subordinates, hence they knew who Qin Nan was.
“Alright, thanks.”
Qin Nan brought his fists together before he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the clouds.
“This Sacred Ocean Realm is indeed fascinating. Each drop of seawater contains a vague will. Even my eye-technique can only reach a thousand zhang deep into the water.”
Qin Nan murmured after observing his surroundings briefly. He transmitted his voice into the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron when a sudden thought crossed his mind, “Doom, didn’t you say you came to the First Immortal Realm before?”
Doom sounded a little impatient, “Of course I did, but I only stayed at the boundary. I’m not familiar with the First Immortal Realm. I know nothing about it.”
He would never tell Qin Nan that he had come to the First Immortal Realm with the rest of the Primordial Evils. They were extremely arrogant, killing everyone they stumbled into. They ended up offending a Nine Heavens Supreme and almost died because of it.
Since then, he was traumatized by the First Immortal Realm. He did not dare to set his foot into it.
Qin Nan shrugged. He did not bother asking.
Qin Nan encountered many ocean beasts in the journey. Most of them had reached the Earth Immortal Realm and the Heaven Immortal Realm. Some had even achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm.
Besides, they did not have any sign of intelligence. Their only instinct was to kill brutally.
On top of it, the weather of the Sacred Ocean Realm was ever-s.h.i.+fting. It might be clear and sunny just a moment ago, but the sky would darken with huge lightning strikes.
Qin Nan finally understood why the Blood-Eye Earth Immortal mentioned that apart from those that had grown up in the First Immortal Realm, only Peerless Rulers would bother visiting it.
The reason was that ordinary peak Heaven Immortals would die very easily to the danger around here.

Most importantly, there were islands of various shapes across the ocean, with many palaces built on them.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan suddenly halted in his track on the waves.
He suddenly had a strange feeling.
“Is that…the gray storm?”
A few moments later, Qin Nan noticed several gray gusts of wind gathering toward the end of his vision, turning into a great storm that had sealed up the ocean ahead.
However, it was weird that he was sensing a great pressure from the storm even though it was rolling forward at an extremely slow pace.
“It has such a strong pressure despite being so far away. It might cost me a lot of effort just to defend myself if I’m caught in it.”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment. He continued to fly ahead.
“Is that an island?”
He soon noticed an island that was shaped like a tortoise standing firmly on the ocean. It remained still despite the strong waves.
They were more than a hundred cultivators on the island, with many more entering it from all directions.
“Forget it, I shall take a look around on the island for now.”
Qin Nan thought for a moment before flying to the dojo on the island.
As soon as he landed, a cultivator came from afar and said impatiently, “Pay a hundred thousand Immortal Stones, and you may stay on the island for three days.”
Qin Nan frowned. He had to pay still?
A hundred thousand Immortal Stones was not a small sum at all.
Even the Realm-Crossing Immortal Vessel to the First Immortal Realm only cost every pa.s.senger fifty thousand Immortal Stones.
A loud yell sounded before Qin Nan could speak, “This island belongs to n.o.body. Who gives you the rights to demand people to pay you Immortal Stones?”
Qin Nan glanced at the person talking. It was a middle-aged scholar in the eighth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm with a righteous aura.
