Chapter 634 Let's Go to the East China Sea to Listen to the Tide (Part 1)
Kongkong'er left a guarantee that she would arrange for someone to meet Su Che in Tingchao City, and then angrily rode away on her sword.

This person is the type who treats money as if it's been lost if he doesn't find it. Even after reaching the level of a true immortal, he only becomes more and more true to himself.

Su Che immediately set off to prepare for his journey to the East China Sea.

First, he quickly greeted the little fox, saying that he was going out to prepare for his upcoming trip to the Blood River Realm. At the same time, he sent someone to inform the Zhixin Temple that he was going out and might be delayed for a while. He asked his two senior brothers, Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng, to be understanding and to wait for some time.

At the same time, it's necessary to send a message to the Imperial Guards.

Although with Su San Gongzi's current status and position, he is no longer bound by the constraints of being a subject, he still needs to be greeted.

After dealing with these matters, Su Che packed his belongings, sent them into the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, and used the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Aurora to soar into the sky, heading straight for the East Sea.

From Jiankang, one can travel directly into the East China Sea along the Yangtze River. Jiankang also has a dock for cloud boats to moor, making it very convenient to go to the East China Sea. However, in order to avoid being noticed, Su Che naturally did not use these means of transportation. He relied entirely on his own powerful magic and the speed of the Two Elements Magnetic Aurora to travel directly into the East China Sea.

The wind howled past his ears as he walked, and as he gazed at the vast landscape receding into the distance, about three days passed. Su Che exhausted himself and took two deep breaths before finally seeing the clear blue sky ahead.

Is this the East China Sea?
Although they were still on the road, Su Che felt somewhat dazzled as he gazed at the boundless sea.

Ahead lies the world of cultivators, the East Sea where various sects stand side by side.

Is it possible that the geographical boundaries between the ocean and the land are enough to divide two completely different worlds?
Su Che was somewhat skeptical, but when he thought of the various rumors about the East China Sea, he couldn't help but speed up.

After slowly adjusting his breathing, Su Che continued to ride the wind, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Aurora cutting through the sky like a dazzling bolt of lightning.

Continuing forward, after about another half hour, Su Che finally saw what appeared to be human habitation ahead.

It was a huge floating boat, about three hundred feet long and two hundred feet wide. Various wooden buildings were built on the floating boat, with small buildings stacked one on top of another.

Because of the array's blessing, the wooden buildings could be built up to ten stories high.

The wooden buildings are connected together, and from a distance they look like a small mountain.

If it were just ordinary wood, exposed to the wind and sun at sea, constantly shrouded in dampness, it would have rotted long ago. There must have been a master craftsman who cleverly arranged a formation to create the current arrangement.
They're really using supernatural powers to build illegal structures.

As Su Che was observing, three auras rose from the wooden city, swaying and echoing each other.

Cultivators at the Core Formation Realm possess formidable magical power, capable of influencing an entire region with a single movement. Su Che understood that this Core Formation cultivator residing in this wooden city was "greeting" him.

There are three Core Formation cultivators on this wooden city built of wood. The East Sea is truly a holy land for cultivators.

As Su Che was feeling sentimental, another Core Formation cultivator flew over. A plume of black smoke billowed from a tall building in Mu City, and a short, stout cultivator rode on a jade gourd, swaying as he headed straight for Su Che.

The short, stout cultivator suddenly stopped about a hundred feet away, which was exactly the farthest distance a Core Formation cultivator could reach in a hurry, thus maintaining the proper distance between strangers.

He bowed directly and asked.

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. I wonder why you have come to my Wood Spirit Ruins."

Upon hearing this, Su Che couldn't help but feel a little moved.

I had read in a book before that many place names in the East China Sea still retain ancient names.

For example, the character “墟” (xū) in Central China is often associated with ruins and waste. However, in the East China Sea, it retains its original meaning from ancient times: a rural market.

Legend has it that in ancient times there was a place called Guixu in the East Sea, which was one of the most prosperous and sacred places in the world, but now it has been lost to history.

Wood Spirit Ruins.

Su Che pondered the meaning behind this for a moment, and then returned the greeting. "I was preparing to go to Tingchao City, but I was unsure of the direction. Seeing that there were some people living here, I came here on the wind."

The short, stout cultivator frowned and scrutinized Su Che from head to toe.

"Is this fellow Daoist from the Central Plains?"

Su Che nodded. Had he revealed his country bumpkin nature and let others see through it?
"indeed so."

Since you've figured it out, just agree readily.

"I guess you are a rogue cultivator from the Central Plains, and you must have had a long and arduous journey to get here. You probably don't have any elders in your sect, right?"

Su Che smiled but did not answer.

No elders? You can't just agree to something like that.

Otherwise, if Huang Tiandao were to sense something, then it would be a sin for the disciple.

"Everyone in the world knows that there are ten continents in the East Sea, namely Yingzhou, Hongzhou, Yuanzhou, Changzhou... These places are indeed places with solid earth veins, which are landmasses that jut out of the sea. In addition, there are various islands, all of which are thriving with life."

The short, stout cultivator pointed to the Wood Spirit Ruins below his house as he spoke.

"However, there are also some sea cities similar to this Wood Spirit Ruins, floating on the sea surface, drifting without a fixed abode."

He then pointed into the distance and said, "The same applies to Tingchao City, which you are going to. Even if I point out the direction for you, you may not be in the same place when you actually fly there."

It turned out to be the case.

Su Che had also read descriptions of Haicheng in books, but those were just idle gossip. Su Che was focused on reading various historical anecdotes and major events throughout history, and he overlooked these common-sense facts.

That's why the short, fat cultivator thought he was a rogue cultivator without a sect or elders.

If you had a few more friends, you would know what Haicheng is all about.

Kongkong'er, this senior, didn't mention it at all. I don't know if he was just teasing us or if he felt he should know.

"May I ask you, fellow Daoist, how do I get to Tingchao City?"

The short, stout monk thought for a moment and said...

"Since that's the case, I also have something to do in Tingchao City, so why don't I travel with you, fellow Daoist?"

As he spoke, he bowed to Su Che again.

"I have not formally introduced myself. I am Guan Qing, an elder of the Xuan Yi Sect."

He pointed rather proudly to the illegal structure below and said, "This is where our sect is located."

"Zuo Lengchan of Songyang".

Su Che thought for a moment and decided to use this title to fool people.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Zuo."

Guan Qing looked at Su Che with great admiration and said, "The Central Plains is indeed a place where Dao seeds are born. Fellow Daoist, you can travel such a far distance without the aid of magical artifacts, relying solely on your magical power. It is truly admirable."
