I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"Master Jiang, Fellow Daoist Zhou has been brought here."

Standing in front of the fragile bamboo door in the courtyard, Gu Ming knocked on the copper ring on the door with great respect.

"Enter."

Jiang Ying's clear and ethereal voice rang out.

Gu Ming immediately pushed open the bamboo door carefully as if he had heard the emperor's words, and took Zhou Heng in with him.

"Junior Immortal cultivator Zhou Ping, greets Master Jiang."

Although he also had the strength to fight against the Super Seven Strongmen, when he saw Jiang Ying, Zhou Heng still lowered his posture very low-key and greeted the other party respectfully.

Hear the words.

Jiang Ying put down the brush in her hand, turned around and looked Zhou Heng up and down with a smile on her face.

After a while.

She narrowed her eyes and said softly:

"Your vitality is so youthful, you must be less than twenty years old.

"I am a Transcendent Sixth Realm cultivator under the age of twenty. My dear Zhou, do you think I am Confucian?"

"Under twenty?"

Gu Ming, who was standing aside, looked at Zhou Heng in astonishment.

Although he could feel that Zhou Heng was very young, since both of them were beyond the sixth level, he did not dare to investigate carefully to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. However, he never expected that the other party would be so young and inhumane.

When he was less than 20 years old, he was still scratching his head and struggling with exercises at the Super Four level. Now he is over 800 years old and has just reached the Super Six level like the other person. The gap between people is really enough to make people want to commit suicide.

Facing Jiang Ying's slightly unfriendly questioning.

Zhou Heng was not at all flustered. He remained calm and bowed again, saying:

“Senior, you have a keen eye. I am indeed less than twenty years old, and I was not a casual cultivator before.

Since the senior has been able to cultivate to this level, I believe he is also aware of what some powerful people do.

I was once a disciple of a transcendent sixth-level immortal cultivator. He viewed me as a source of nourishment for cultivation, but unfortunately, he was one step behind in the end. When he was about to devour me, I countered and killed him.

My current cultivation is actually all from my master."

"Oh... a counterattack with resources? Haha, interesting."

After hearing Zhou Heng's explanation, Jiang Ying smiled and nodded slightly:

“No wonder you took the risk of crossing the sea by boat.

If my guess is correct, your master should be an elder of a sect.

You're crossing the sea to Taiyuan Continent this time to escape the accusation of that sect, right?"

"Senior is wise, and I do have this intention."

"Haha, okay, I understand. There is a small hill ten miles east of this mountain. You can stay in the courtyard in that hill this time. Let's go now."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Senior. I'll take my leave."

Zhou Heng responded respectfully, then without hesitation, he quickly left the courtyard and flew directly to the place the other party mentioned.

After a few breaths, Zhou Heng's figure had completely disappeared from sight.

Gu Ming looked at Jiang Ying with some doubt and asked, "Jiang Daru, is it really okay for us to take him on the voyage?"

"What could be the problem? They paid us, and we provide services. Isn't that a matter of course? Xiao Ming, it seems you need to go back to the academy and catch up on your finance classes."

"Ah...but..."

"There's nothing to worry about. What does the affairs of the immortal way have to do with us Confucianists?

Besides, can a person who can successfully fight back by using resources be a good person?

Although he appears to be very respectful to me on the surface, I can feel that he has no fear of me in his heart.

What does this mean? It means he must have enough trump cards to support his confidence.

Our goal now is to rush to Taiyuan Continent as soon as possible to compete for the inheritance of the great scholar of the Ninth Realm. It would be bad if people from other academies got there first.

So we must not create any unnecessary complications now."

"Yes, Jiang Daru taught me that, and I understand."

……

Just as Jiang Ying was talking to Gu Ming.

Zhou Heng had already arrived at the hill that the other party had mentioned.

That 'small' hill wasn't too small, at least three or four thousand meters high, and there was also a small courtyard on the hillside.

However, this courtyard is not made of bamboo, but of bricks and stones.

"It's finally stable."

Enter the courtyard.

Zhou Heng randomly chose a bedroom to move into, and then began to practice without wasting a moment.

As for whether Jiang Ying would monitor him while he was practicing on this boat.

He believed that the other party would not do that, and even if the other party did so, he had nothing to be afraid of.

It's just a level above seven. If the other party gets along well with him, then he won't cause trouble. If the other party wants to move him, then he doesn't mind getting more materials for refining spiritual weapons.

Oh no... the corpses of cultivators above the seventh level should be able to be used to refine immortal artifacts.

……

Just when Zhou Heng stabilized and entered the state of cultivation.

Everyone on the shore outside also got on board.

Not long after, a thin layer of light curtain shield rose around the ship, and then it began to sail rapidly towards the open sea.

The ocean of the evil world is quite special. There is a special energy accumulated both above the sea and in the water.

Under the influence of that special energy, the void within the ocean is extremely chaotic, so practitioners cannot use conventional means to travel through the void for long-distance transmission.

The fleet of the Ocean Academy is equipped with a special teleportation array. As long as the fleet reaches certain nodes in the sea, it can activate the array and teleport to the next node, thus greatly reducing the time of crossing the sea.

At this time, the fleet still has about five days to reach the first node in the sea area.

Unlike Zhou Heng, the other passengers in the fleet could not practice all the time without worrying about the various negative effects caused by the practice.

Therefore, after about a few hours at sea, most of the passengers came to the deck of the ship to watch the sea view.

"The Wind and Thunder Sea is indeed worthy of its name. The wind and thunder on the sea surface never stop for a moment."

"Yes, if it weren't for the protection of the Ocean Academy's Chamber of Commerce ships, if we went deep into the open sea, we wouldn't even be attacked by the sea monsters. The wind and thunder alone would be enough to kill us."

"Very good, very good. It is said that the deeper you go into the open sea, the stronger the power of the wind and thunder on the sea surface will be. The strongest part can even kill high-level practitioners."

"Hiss—can it kill a high-level cultivator? That's someone capable of founding a sect. Isn't that too terrifying?"

"Who says it's not? But there's no need to worry too much. The probability of such a powerful thunderstorm appearing on the sea is not high. The Ocean Academy's Chamber of Commerce fleet is protected by a powerful seventh-level transcendent. We are still safe."

"Indeed, I have traveled to Taiyuan Continent several times on the Chamber of Commerce fleet of this Ocean Academy, and have never encountered any serious danger."
