One morning half a month after entering the sea.
The sun rises above the sea level, and the morning light shines on the sea, making the distant sea look golden.
Compared with the lens area inside the cabin, Ji Yuan prefers to stand on the deck to appreciate the scenery along the way. Although with his eyesight, except for some special things, everything else is blurry, but he has long been accustomed to it. In addition, with the artistic conception of mountains and rivers, in some mysterious state, he can use his mind to fit the mountains and rivers outside and can imagine it almost accurately.
The wind blew Ji Yuan's hair back. At this moment, looking at the sun rising over the sea, Ji Yuan took out the golden-red feather again and began to look at it carefully towards the sunlight.
The morning light shines on the feathers, making the colors of the feathers more vivid and brilliant. At a certain moment, it seems that the sunlight is flowing on the surface of the feathers like water, but upon closer inspection, it is found that it is just an illusion.
Ju Yuanzi was standing next to Ji Yuan, also staring at the feather. There was no one around and the opportunity was right, so he finally asked Ji Yuan about the doubts in his heart.
"Mr. Ji, when I bought this bird feather at Dingfeng Ferry, you looked strange. What is so special about this bird feather?"
Ji Yuan injected a little bit of spiritual energy and magic power into the feather, causing it to briefly emit a demonic aura. After a few breaths, Ji Yuan immediately stopped.
Then Ji Yuan turned around and looked at Ju Yuanzi and asked.
"What can you see, friend Ju?"
Ju Yuanzi was of course aware that Ji Yuan had injected spiritual energy into the feathers. After all, there was heat emitted from them just now. However, he could not see anything special about it, so he shook his head truthfully.
"Except for the heat being emitted, nothing else was found. What did you see, Mr. Ji?"
Ji Yuan nodded slightly seriously.
"Demon energy, extremely dense and terrifying demon energy..."
After thinking for a while, Ji Yuan added another sentence.
“Between reality and illusion.”
"Demon spirit?"
Ju Yuanzi was slightly stunned, and stared at the feather again. Was there a demonic aura just now? Between reality and illusion
Ju Yuanzi's reaction did not surprise Ji Yuan. He was too frightened before and his judgment was disturbed. Now he understands that this evil spirit does not exist in reality, but exists at the level of "intention".
Because Ji Yuan had a special Dharma eye and a special artistic conception, when the demon feather was stimulated, he attracted the terrible demonic energy, but this was definitely not Ji Yuan's illusion.
Ju Yuanzi knew that Ji Yuan definitely did not lie to him, but he tried every means to observe, and even borrowed a feather from Ji Yuan's hand to feel the spiritual energy and magic power, but still got nothing. After trying for a long time, he had to give up.
After returning the feather to Ji Yuan, Ju Yuanzi asked curiously.
"Sir, do you know what kind of monster feather this is?"
The answer to this question is actually unknown. Although Ji Yuan had a bold guess in his mind, it was just a guess.
"That's unknown. Maybe it's just a strange beast with special abilities. Maybe..."
Ji Yuan once again looked towards the slowly rising sun, and Ju Yuanzi also followed his gaze, but the latter did not think much about it and just thought that Ji Yuan was looking at the sun subconsciously.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Anyway, this feather is not as simple as it seems. I have to study it carefully."
In fact, Ji Yuan really wanted to use the Samadhi True Fire to try to burn the feather, but there was only one feather. What if this feather couldn't hold up and was burned to ashes, where would he find a second one
However, one of the components of Samadhi True Fire is Yangmei Fire. If taken alone, it is definitely not enough to reach the legendary Sun True Fire. But if the power of the complete Samadhi True Fire is used to transform the extreme Yang, it may be possible to simulate it.
'Why don't you try it... But if it burns, it'll be gone...'
Before finding a more suitable method, Ji Yuan had no choice but to continue hesitating because of his reason.
“Roar——”
A loud voice came from afar, and all the monks on the boat, including Ji Yuan, looked in the direction where they heard the voice. They saw a long dragon shadow tumbling in the distant clouds.
"Dragon roar? Flood dragon?"
The flying boat had no intention of changing direction and sailed straight in the clouds. The dragon over there was still rolling in the clouds, emitting bursts of dragon roars. When they were closest, the two sides were less than a hundred feet apart.
The dragon was about ten feet long and as thick as a large water tank. Its four claws grasped the clouds, but it seemed that it was not grasping the clouds but the soft ground.
“Roar——”
Compared with the flying boat of Xuanxin Mansion, the dragon looked very small. Everyone on the boat was looking at the dragon, some with curiosity, some with amazement, and some with fear.
The dragon was also looking at the fairy flying boat with golden sails. The dragon knew that it was not easy to mess with.
"Master, what is that dragon doing? Why is it roaring in the clouds?"
A monk asked his elders this question.
"They are probably looking for a mate. There is a saying that dragons are inherently lustful. Although this cannot be generalized to cover all dragons, dragons are indeed the most concerned about their mates among the monsters and are more likely to look for pleasure. Well, they also like to reproduce. In fact, the prosperity of the dragon race is not unrelated to this."
"oh… "
The voices of the strange master and disciple came from not far away, and Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile, thinking that it was because you have never seen an old cow. Among the monsters, if he is not the first in seeking pleasure and showing mercy, he should be ranked in the top three.
"Fellow Daoists, please be careful. The flying boat is about to enter the Tiangang Storm ahead. Please do not fly out of the protection range of the flying boat formation at will."
The monks from Xuanxin Mansion sent messages to every corner of the flying boat, warning of possible dangers.
Today's concept of the four seas does not actually come from the definition of immortals, but from the dragon clan.
In the early years, except for some locations with Tiangang Storms and Wild Ocean Currents, the definitions of other areas were vague, and sometimes dragons would fight each other for control of the territory.
So, about a thousand or several hundred years ago, some real dragons in the vast four seas gathered together to define the boundaries of the four seas, and the place where the Xuanxin Mansion's flying boat was flying to at this moment was naturally the East China Sea.
Yunzhou is known as the Eastern Land and is entirely surrounded by the vast East China Sea. To this day, coastal countries in Yunzhou either simply call the sea area the sea or the East China Sea. Some countries are clearly not in the east but still call it this way, probably because of the ancient memory that has been passed down.
At this moment, the flying boat was about to pass through an area with turbulent sea winds. Looking from afar, the people on the boat saw that the front was almost gray, the waves were higher than in normal seas, and the sea water seemed turbid.
The flying boat was gradually descending in altitude, and soon its bottom touched the sea surface, changing from flying in the air to sailing on the sea.
“Woo… woo… woo…”
The wind around was becoming more and more chaotic, with a sharp sound in the wind. Bright rays of light lit up around the flying boat, like a hazy big egg of light, which was particularly conspicuous in the gray and desolate ocean currents.
“Clatter… clatter…”
Huge waves were rising around the hull, and the entire flying boat was pitching up and down, but the pitching was very regular, and at most it rose and fell without swaying around. Although those on the boat could not be said to feel nothing, it was still very stable, and even the soup in the restaurant did not spill.
Many mortals retreated into their cabins at this moment, but some monks were still watching on the deck, Ji Yuan was one of them.
In this life, he actually cares a lot about his own safety, so even though his current cultivation level can counter the Gangfeng, he seldom goes to the Gangfeng layer. There is no good scenery there, and he is not like some people who need the help of Tiangang to practice something.
But it seems harmless to watch it from the boat at the moment. The power of the boundary flying boat is indeed magical. The strong winds in front, behind, left and right of the ship are broken by the invisible force and return to stability. The sea surface rises and falls, but there is always a wave dragging on the bottom of the ship.
We sailed like this until the second night, when the surrounding sea was completely dark.
“Crash…” “Boom…”
In addition to the turbulent winds and huge waves, there was also a heavy rainstorm at the moment, and thunder occasionally illuminated the dark sea surface.
The starlight in the sky was completely blocked out, and the flying boat was alone in the storm.
Ji Yuan stood alone at the stern, looking at the thunderstorm in the chaotic gale. This thunderstorm was also unusual, so the thunderclouds were not broken up by the gale, but the aura of thunder was not too special.
"Roar..."
At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly came from far behind the boat. With Ji Yuan's excellent hearing, he immediately recognized that it was the dragon that was courting a mate before.
"Moo... Moo..."
"Boom..." "Woo..."
All kinds of chaotic sounds intertwined in the strong wind, including thunder and strange howls.
"Roar..."
The dragon's roar was getting closer and closer. Many monks on the flying boat had gathered on the rear deck, looking into the distance at the strong wind that was blocking their vision and perception.
"Is it the dragon from before?" "It seems so. I wonder what happened?"
"There seems to be a sound of fighting!" "Could it be that the courtship has attracted other male dragons to fight?"
Such discussions were heard constantly. Ji Yuan looked behind him seriously, and so did Ju Yuanzi. There were two old men, one with black hair and one with white hair, standing not far from Ju Yuanzi. They also had solemn expressions. The old man with black hair said to them.
"That dragon seems to be in big trouble."
Ji Yuan could naturally hear this feeling as well, because he had dealt with the dragon clan many times. He could even hear that the dragon's roar was similar to the mooing of a cow and sometimes it was almost a wailing.
When the cultivator on the flying boat looked back, the dragon that was in despair in the distance suddenly discovered a glimmer of fairy light in the chaos, and immediately thought of the boundary ferry that passed by a while ago.
"I am the Red Dragon under the command of the Dragon Lord. Immortals in front, please save me! Immortals, please save me! Ang... Moo..."
The howling of the dragon startled the monks on the flying boat. They did not expect that the dragon would ask them for help.
Others were still discussing, but Ji Yuan did not hesitate. Although the Dragon King was not the only old dragon, what if? He waved his hand slightly forward, and the Qingteng Sword appeared faintly, then flashed away and shot to the distance behind the boat.
This change startled the two old monks not far away, and they could see each other's astonishment when they looked at each other.
"The Immortal Sword?"
brush-
A bright sword flashed past the lightning, and the strong wind and the sea behind the flying boat split into two in the next moment, forming two spectacular walls of wind and sea, as if endless air currents and sea water were rolling back to both sides.
"Zheng..."
The next moment, the sound of swords came back from afar.
