Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Two days later, Zhang Chen had already gone thousands of miles deep into the sea. Occasionally, he could see giant beasts leaping out of the sea. Their size was so huge that Zhang Chen was dumbfounded.

Moreover, during the flight, the sea seemed endless. After a long time, without any reference points, Zhang Chen almost got lost. Everything looked the same.

Although Zhang Chen had made preparations before entering the sea and brought with him a map of the sea that had been explored by humans, as time went on and Zhang Chen went deeper, there were more unknown places on the map. After tens of thousands of miles, there were no records on the map.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to continue flying forward. At this moment, he suddenly saw a huge sea beast floating on the sea to breathe. Then when it swam forward, it suddenly hit a transparent wall-like place, making a loud noise. Then a small island appeared, and then slowly disappeared, or became invisible, which attracted Zhang Chen's attention.

Then Zhang Chen flew to the sky above the location where the island had just appeared, and slowly descended. He soon felt that he was stepping on a solid object. Zhang Chen punched it, and with a loud hum, the entire island appeared again.

"This is a formation. It looks like there are cultivators living here. I can ask for directions."

Zhang Chen looked at the island and thought secretly.

He continued to observe and found that the island was not small, with at least hundreds of thousands of square meters exposed above the water. There were dozens of luxurious buildings on it, plus a circle of pavilions. Mist rose from the island from time to time, making it look beautiful, like a paradise. Zhang Chen could only see some of it roughly, and could not see it if he looked more closely, and his spiritual sense could not detect very far.

But even so, in this endless sea, it is as refreshing as encountering an oasis in the desert.

The abnormality here attracted the attention of the people inside, and they soon discovered Zhang Chen in the air.

Then a 28-year-old woman in a long skirt flew towards Zhang Chen on the back of a giant pigeon.

When they got closer, Zhang Chen used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that the woman was only at the initial stage of Qi Condensation. He didn't know how she got to this place.

"Senior, what brings you to Penglai Island?"

"Penglai Fairy Island?"

Zhang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard her introduction, and then quickly said:

"I have been flying in the sea for several days and happened to see a small island here. I want to go to the island to rest and ask for information. Is that possible?"

"This? I can't make the decision. I need to ask the master for instructions. Please wait for a moment, senior."

After the woman finished speaking, she immediately rode on the white dove towards the tallest building.

At this moment, in a square not far away, a dozen humanoid creatures were playing and laughing. They seemed to be young.

Soon the woman who had left came back, stood on the back of the white dove, looked at Zhang Chen and said:

"The master said that this place is not convenient for receiving outsiders, but considering that you have come from afar, as long as you abide by the rules of the island, you can go to the island."

"Of course. I will abide by the rules of the island."

Zhang Chen nodded to show his understanding. When going to someone else's place, it is only right to abide by their rules.

"The rules are that the seniors must swear with their Dao heart that nothing they see on the island is allowed to be spread to others, no matter what the method. Otherwise, their Dao heart will backfire and they will die a miserable death."

The woman said calmly, then waited for Zhang Chen's answer with a sharp gaze.

"Huh? You don't want people to know what's going on inside, but why bother to just not let me in?"

Zhang Chen thought curiously, then changed his mind and thought that it didn't seem to do any real harm to him, so he went in and took a look, maybe he could find out some useful information.

So he solemnly swore an oath as the woman said. Just after he finished the oath, he found that a gap had opened in the formation protecting the island, and Zhang Chen flew in.

"Senior, come to me."

When the woman saw that the formation was opened to let Zhang Chen in, she seemed very happy, even happier than Zhang Chen himself.

Zhang Chen looked around and was secretly on guard, fearing that there might be an ambush. After all, this was an unfamiliar place.

At this moment, a divine sense covered over him. Zhang Chen's body stiffened and his face changed. Zhang Chen had just felt divine sense of this intensity at Qingyu Gate not long ago.

"There are still Nascent Soul cultivators here? No wonder they dared to let me in."

The spiritual consciousness came and went quickly, and Zhang Chen felt a warning from it.

Then Zhang Chen stood still in the air and bowed towards the building where the spiritual consciousness came from.

"Thank you, senior, for letting me go to the island."

"Well, follow the rules of the island, or you will suffer the consequences."

A majestic voice came, which startled Zhang Chen slightly, and then he nodded repeatedly.

Then, under the guidance of the woman, they came to a building. It seemed that they knew of Zhang Chen's arrival. At this moment, many figures gathered outside the building. When they were far away, Zhang Chen didn't care. When they were closer, Zhang Chen saw those figures and was shocked.

Among those figures, there were many elderly women. They all looked like normal humans, but those snuggling beside them were actually some strange creatures in human form.

Zhang Chen only saw one child who looked normal, except that his upper body was covered with a layer of green scales. The rest were basically the same as human children. Except for their body shapes, the rest looked like sea beasts, half of them had tails, and sharp teeth in their mouths.

At first, Zhang Chen thought it was the transformed appearance of a third-level sea beast, but after investigation he found out that it was not. Then he looked at those human women and guessed a possibility.

"No wonder we don't want outsiders to know the situation here. No wonder we live here. We have no choice."

Zhang Chen felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"Hey, are you a monk from outside?"

The child who was closest to a human looked at Zhang Chen and asked in a clear voice, which startled Zhang Chen.

"Yes."

"Can you tell us what's going on outside?"

A group of children gathered around, looking at Zhang Chen with wide eyes, eagerly.

Then Zhang Chen began to explain the outside world to them. At the same time, he took out some useless things he had obtained before from the storage bag, including some refining materials. Zhang Chen made some toys out of them and gave them to the children. The whole island was immediately filled with the children's laughter like copper bells.

Zhang Chen also understood why he was asked to go to the island. It turned out to be to entertain those children.

Late at night, everyone went to rest. Zhang Chen walked out of the residence arranged for him and walked around the island. He didn't have time to waste here. During the day, Zhang Chen had learned that this island belonged to a monk named Qingxin Jushi.

This Buddhist monk Qingxin formed a bond with a powerful sea creature who had transformed into a human form, but they were separated due to racial differences. They had a child, who was the child closest to a human that Zhang Chen saw during the day. In order to avoid being criticized by others, he lived in seclusion here. The rest of the women were rescued by Buddhist monk Qingxin from those transformed sea beasts over the years. He not only gave them a place to live, but also found some companions for his child.

Although those children look like children, they are actually close to a hundred years old. It’s just that because they are a combination of humans and sea creatures, their lifespan is very long, which causes their growth and development to be much slower.
