"The reefs of the South Sea."
Chu Lingwei silently repeated the name. The south should be further south than Wangtian City.
"Master, your disciple requests permission to go out for training."
Chu Lingwei had already decided in her heart to go out and search for Chu Ze. She just wanted to know if he was safe.
"Remember to protect yourself."
Bei Chenfeng nodded.
In the evening, Chu Lingwei began to pack her belongings. For cultivators, all important items were almost always kept in their personal storage bags, so there was nothing to pack.
Chu Lingwei walked into the courtyard and looked towards the direction of her senior brother's cave dwelling. Layers of barriers were still set up there. She sighed and decided it was best not to disturb him.
"When you leave this time, you will encounter many dangers."
Suddenly, a charming voice rang out.
"Greetings, Senior Qingyue." Chu Lingwei hadn't expected to see Qingyue before she left.
"Have you truly decided to leave?" Qingyue stood in front of Chu Lingwei, her face no longer as beautiful as before, but serene.
"Yes."
"Then do you know that you will encounter many dangers?" Qingyue sighed softly. "Everyone who has entered the spiritual domain is someone without freedom."
Just like her, trapped in the sea of flowers for hundreds of years, yet unable to escape her destined fate.
"I'm not poisoned, and the spirit herbs I brought out have all been handed over. They still won't let me go?" Surprise flashed in Chu Lingwei's eyes. Were those people so desperate for a breakthrough that they had lost their minds?
Qingyue chuckled upon hearing Chu Lingwei's words. "Even so, your bodies have absorbed those toxins, and they are even more interested."
"Then I will kill them." Chu Lingwei's eyes turned cold. Even if they were powerful beings of the Dominator realm, if she wanted to kill them, she could smash them to death with divine artifacts from her space.
"What a bold statement."
Qingyue burst into laughter. She too had once spoken like this, but in the end, she was still here, needing others' protection.
"They want to kill me, so I can only fight."
Chu Lingwei noticed that Qingyue's eyes held more sorrow today.
"Since you have decided to leave, I hope to see you again, not a extinguished soul lamp." Qingyue smiled charmingly, her body like a gust of wind, disappearing into Chu Lingwei's cave dwelling.
Chu Lingwei sat in her cave dwelling, watching the moon slowly sink. She stood up, got on her flying artifact, and left the Cultivation Academy.
She headed south, towards the legendary reefs of the South Sea.
"Weiwei, are we really not going to bid farewell to our senior brothers?" Feng Ming sat beside Chu Lingwei, his eyes full of doubt. In the past, when Weiwei left, she would bid farewell to every senior brother. But this time, she left without a word. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"There's no need for that."
Chu Lingwei shook her head. They all had their own important matters to attend to, and she didn't need to explain everything to each of them.
Feng Ming turned back, watching the Cultivation Academy grow further and further away. A smile appeared on his face. He was finally leaving this place; it was truly wonderful.
A month later, Chu Lingwei did not delay and arrived at Wangtian City.
Returning to this familiar place, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Chu Lingwei casually found an inn to stay in and went to the teleportation array to inquire about the departure time for the reefs of the South Sea.
There was a teleportation array opening in three days. Chu Lingwei paid the spirit stones, bought a ticket for the teleportation array, and returned to the inn, waiting for the departure in three days.
After traveling for a month without stopping, Chu Lingwei was somewhat tired. She spent two days recovering her strength, and on the last day, she took Feng Ming and the others to the streets to prepare some travel expenses for them.
On the day the teleportation array opened, Chu Lingwei arrived at the teleportation array early. Seeing the many people standing in the entire square, she couldn't help but feel a slight pressure. She hadn't expected so many cultivators to be heading to the reefs of the South Sea.
The reefs of the South Sea did not belong to any jurisdiction. They were located in the farthest south, bordering the sea on one side. However, the reefs of the South Sea were mostly high mountains, very treacherous.
Inside, there were some water-attribute spirit herbs not found on the Xuan Tian Continent and earth-attribute spirit beasts. Many cultivators would go there to pick water-attribute spirit herbs and bring them back to the continent to trade for spirit herbs of other attributes, earning the price difference.
A quarter of an hour later, the teleportation array opened. Chu Lingwei held her teleportation ticket and walked into the array with all the cultivators heading to the reefs of the South Sea.
When the array was filled with at least a thousand people, runes began to emanate from beneath their feet. It felt like taking an elevator, with a sensation of movement but no shaking.
The surrounding scenery could not be seen clearly, like streaks of fast-moving light beams flashing before her eyes.
Half an hour later, the runes beneath their feet gradually dispersed. Chu Lingwei let out a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected the reefs of the South Sea to be so far away.
Just the teleportation alone took half an hour. If she were to travel by flying artifact at this speed, it would take her two years without stopping.
Stepping out of the teleportation array square, it looked like a pier without a sea, filled with cultivators everywhere. Upon seeing newly arrived cultivators, a large group of people surged towards them.
"Fellow Daoist, need a place to stay?"
"Fellow Daoist, where are you going? We can take you?"
"Fellow Daoist, want to team up?"
"Fellow Daoist..."
Chu Lingwei was also surrounded by several cultivators, their sharp eyes constantly appraising her.
"Little Daoist, is this your first time at our reefs of the South Sea?" A cultivator in the Spirit Wheel realm, who looked somewhat influential, stepped forward, pushing aside the other cultivators who were surrounding Chu Lingwei.
"What do you want?"
Chu Lingwei frowned and called out. Everyone else was called "Fellow Daoist," but she was called "Little Daoist." Did she look that petite?
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Lin Dachui laughed heartily. This young brother was indeed interesting. A fine young man, acting like a young lady.
"Little brother, it's your first time at our reefs of the South Sea, so you must be unfamiliar with the situation here. Why don't I explain it to you?"
When Chu Lingwei left the Cultivation Academy, she had disguised herself. Apart from Dominator realm powerhouses, no one would be able to tell she was a woman.
"How many spirit stones?" Chu Lingwei saw an opening and directly walked towards the outside.
She hadn't expected that after coming to the cultivation continent, she would experience the treatment of a train station.
"One low-grade spirit stone, only for explanation. If you need to buy things, stay, find your way, or find someone, that will incur additional fees," Lin Dachui stated truthfully. He had always been fair in his business and never overcharged.
"You can also find people?" Chu Lingwei expressed her doubt.
"Of course, I can't find them myself," Lin Dachui explained. "If it's just an ordinary person, I can certainly help you find them. But if it's someone... more difficult to find, I will help you find someone who specializes in finding people to look for them."
Many people came here for training every year, and even more died or disappeared here.
