I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Shen Ming patted his storage bag, and a delicate, small flying boat appeared.

Shen Ming immediately climbed onto the flying boat and headed away from the Burial Sky Sea.

After more than ten minutes, he was relieved to find that there was no danger following him.

Shen Ming tried to figure out why he hadn't left with the Taiyi Treasure Vault.

He recalled that various forbidden powers had also been extracted from the treasure vault at that time.

After the treasure was moved, he and these taboos were left together in the cold, dark sea.

Shen Ming admitted that he panicked and lost his composure at the time.

The bizarre taboos were terrifying to look at, but the most memorable were the countless twisted stone statues on the seabed.

Fortunately, the forbidden ones all seemed quite friendly and kept a certain distance from him.

The most dangerous situation is actually being in the deep sea, surrounded by darkness, where the powerful water pressure could flatten him.

At this moment, the cyan bead that Li Xiaoluo had given him emitted a bright light, forming a water-repelling energy shield around him.

Being inside it, he could not only breathe, but also move.

It turns out that the bead really was a dragon pearl, also known as a water-repelling pearl.

A wisp of the Crimson Blood Demon King's consciousness was hidden inside. Later, the Demon King entered Li Yingyi's mind, and the Dragon Ball became completely clean.

"It's all luck that we're alive."

Shen Ming sighed. This battle for the Taiyi Treasure Vault was a matter of life and death if one was not careful.

The aggressive demonic cultivators, and the various forbidden powers of the Burial Sky Sea.

He not only survived, but also gained a lot.

All Shen Ming could think of was that he was lucky and had escaped from a desperate situation.

"Yes, it is like that."

Shen Ming rested his chin on his hand, looking completely certain; he couldn't think of any other reason.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the embroidery thread on the storage bag.

The Rainbow Cloud Bag was a storage bag given to him by Li Miaozhen.

"I wonder if Miss Li has managed to escape."

When the Taiyi Treasure Vault was transported to the Burial Heaven Sea, the world was turned upside down, and he and Li Miaozhen were separated, and in the end they were never found.

Li Miaozhen possessed the cultivation of a Supreme Realm expert, but she was still no match for the forbidden realm.

The thought of Li Miaozhen possibly perishing inside filled Shen Ming with sadness.

Although they spent little time together, Miss Li left a deep impression on him.

After all, she's the first one to be so beautiful.

“Miss Li, if you survive, I will become a Taoist priest and take on this karma.”

Shen Ming muttered to himself.

After his grief, he faced a thorny problem.

We stopped the flying boat, stood up, and looked around. The sea seemed endless, with the sky and water merging into one.

"Where did I end up here? Is it still the Northern Region?"

Shen Ming quickly landed the flying boat on the sea to save energy.

Everything follows the law of conservation. The flying boat cannot fly indefinitely. It needs to be recharged each time, and each recharge is only enough for four hours of flight.

Shen Ming's storage bag contained a large amount of spirit stones and spirit jade, all of which were spiritual energy needed by the flying boat.

However, it still needs to be further converted into pure energy and channeled into the flying boat through an array.

These are not necessary for martial artists, so Shen Ming would not do them.

"Luckily, I changed to a different storage bag. I won't starve if I eat rare and precious herbs like food, and I can swim back."

Shen Ming checked the supplies in the storage bag, his brows relaxed, knowing he had no worries about food and drink.

As for determining direction, this is an essential skill for cultivators, and Shen Ming still knows it. He's just waiting for the stars to come out at night.

Suddenly, Shen Ming discovered that the Xuan Tian Sect identity token had shattered into several pieces at some point.

"The sect must think I died in the forbidden zone of life."

Shen Ming thought of this and decided that the Transmission Elder would notify the Jiang family when the time came.

He sighed helplessly, thinking of getting back as soon as possible.

However, the Burial Sky Sea is located in the very center of the ocean, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Northern Region.

Ideally, it would take at least two months.

"Don't miss the Hidden Dragon List," Shen Ming muttered.

Shen Ming naturally thought of using this time to cultivate, but the conditions did not allow it.

……

Since he began cultivating, Shen Ming has not practiced his cultivation techniques outside the sect to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Only now do I realize that the sect's foundation is not based on powerful cultivation techniques, but on the blessed land formed by underground spiritual veins.

Even one day of cultivation in the outer domain of the sect is equivalent to ten days outside.

Over time, the gap will become increasingly exaggerated.

Even if you have great talent, if you are more than ten years behind others, you still can't compare to them.

Shen Ming was treated like royalty in the sect, always staying in blessed lands or grotto heavens, but now the difference is even greater.

A day of cultivation on the high seas is not as good as doing nothing at Xiaoyao Peak.

The ocean has the harshest conditions, lacking spiritual energy and incomplete in the five elements.

The moisture from seawater can severely affect the absorption of spiritual energy.

Even if Shen Ming's storage bag is full of rare and precious materials, it can only maintain his own cultivation level from declining, but cannot improve it.

Just when Shen Ming was prepared to be delayed for several months, he had an unexpected gain.

Blue beads can be used not only underwater, but also on the surface of water.

Surrounded by an oval-shaped, light blue energy shield, I felt refreshed and invigorated, and the spiritual energy I absorbed became pure.

The ocean is not a blessed land, and its spiritual energy is scarce, but it cannot withstand the suction of this pearl, which pulls at the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles every minute and every second.

In addition, the beads can also resist attacks, so Shen Ming is essentially in a mobile cave.

"Then it's not a waste of time."

Shen Ming took advantage of this time to break through his cultivation level.

After reaching the sixth level of Sword Heart Clarity, his cultivation realm was already at the late stage of the third level of the Yuantai Realm.

It's time to forge the third Golden Yuan Platform!

As for the Golden Platform Source Essence, it is naturally the Taiyi Sword Pill.

To be precise, it's now called Mingxin Sword Pill, a name Shen Ming changed.

As a sword cultivator, possessing a golden platform closely related to the way of the sword is indispensable.

A few days later, the small boat headed towards the northern region.

Shen Ming sat upright on the small boat, surrounded by an energy shield resembling an eggshell.

He was so engrossed in forging the third golden platform that he failed to notice the dramatic changes taking place on the sea.

The ocean is ever-changing.

One moment the sky is clear and blue, the next a storm could break out.

Giant waves surged up from the sea, like angry dragons rushing into the sky.

The waves crashed against each other, creating a deafening roar.

Dark clouds gathered rapidly in the sky, and lightning flashed and darted through them.

Streaks of lightning, like silver snakes, streaked across the sky, reflecting on the turbulent sea.

A huge whirlpool appeared directly in front of the small boat, seemingly swallowing everything.

Unaware that the small boat had entered the whirlpool's range, it began to spin wildly.

At this moment, the sword aura emanating from Shen Ming continued to rise, and the sword pellet gradually transformed into a golden Yuan Platform!

break!

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the sword in his hand.

The golden light, like the blazing sun in the sky, instantly illuminated the entire sea.

Wherever the golden light touched, the waves retreated and the gale was suppressed.

An invisible sharp edge shot forward, forcefully cleaving through the vortex directly in front of it.

The sea surface churned wildly at first, then gradually returned to calm.

When Shen Ming opened his eyes, the world had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The third golden Yuan Platform was completed, and his cultivation level successfully reached the fourth level of the Yuan Platform Realm!
