55: Endless Sea

After Elder Mu finished speaking, he waved his large hand, and a small planetary model, about ten feet in size, appeared before Ji Mo.

This planet model was vividly colored, with clear outlines of green mountain ranges and earthy continents.

However, the largest area was still occupied by the vast, boundless blue ocean.

In the immense ocean, countless islands were scattered like stars, too many to count.

Immediately after, Elder Mu gently pointed his hand, and a section of the area was instantly magnified, appearing like a three-dimensional image, clearly presented in the space before Ji Mo's eyes.

"This is the map of Xuanling Continent where we are located.

Look, this area is our Xuanling Continent.

See, on this planet, doesn't it seem so tiny, like a palm-sized piece of land?"

Elder Mu explained.

Ji Mo looked closely, and estimating by the planet's proportion, the area of Xuanling Continent on the entire planet accounted for only about five-thousandths.

In contrast, the ocean and the countless islands occupied the vast majority of the space.

Those large islands were truly astonishing in scale; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them other continents. Even the small islands were comparable in size to the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

After careful observation, Ji Mo noticed that many places on the map were marked with special symbols, such as "Forbidden, Secret, Sect, Nation, Family, Fierce, sly (Guǐ), Death, Immortal, God," and so on.

"The vast and Endless Sea Region contains infinite possibilities.

The number of islands here is even greater than the stars in the sky."

Elder Mu continued to introduce,

"Among these islands, some are filled with special energy extremely beneficial for Martial Artist Cultivation, truly a blessed land for immortals. On the map, such islands are marked as 'Immortal'.

Some islands remain unexplored to this day, full of mystery, with grand formations that no one has been able to break. These are marked as 'Secret' on the map.

If an island contains a mineral vein, the map will mark it as 'Mine'.

Places marked 'Nation, Sect, Faction' respectively represent powerful nations, sects, or Families.

As for the places marked 'Fierce, Forbidden, Guǐ, Death, God,' you must be extremely careful.

Some are deadly places where entering means certain death, some are places where powerful beings Seal and imprison things, some are places where powerful beings Seal themselves, and others are legendary places where gods descended."

Ji Mo gazed at the highly technological map before him, listening to Elder Mu's detailed introduction, feeling increasingly insignificant. However, his heart was also filled with longing for the unknown and a strong desire to conquer.

Elder Mu returned to the main topic, saying with a solemn expression,

"Lad Ji Mo, this planet holds countless Opportunities. If you wish to achieve extraordinary things in the future, you must advance into the Endless Sea Region.

The continent we are on is truly too small, and Opportunities and resources are very limited.

The Peerless Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Empire, which seem powerful in your eyes, might be easily annihilated by even a slightly capable island force in the Endless Sea Region."

Elder Mu's words brought Ji Mo an unprecedented, intuitive shock.

"Elder Mu, may I have this map?"

Ji Mo looked straight at Elder Mu, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Since I've shown it to you, it's naturally for you.

You must keep it safe. My map is unique. Those so-called maps outside,

If they have even one or two tenths of the detail of my map, they are already considered rare treasures." Elder Mu said with a smile, his words betraying pride in the map.

"I didn't give you this map for you to venture out right now.

Your current strength is still too weak."

Saying this, Elder Mu raised his hand and pointed directly to a small island closest to the Heavenly Dragon Empire, introducing it,

"This island is called Villain Island.

The people on the island are all those who committed many evils on the continent and then fled there, where they formed forces.

The island master, Seven Blades Yin, is a Peak expert in the Condensing Gang Realm, with hundreds of Innate True Gang Realm masters under him, and thousands of Acquired Realm Disciples.

This Villain Island is the reason I brought out this map.

Don't you urgently need resources?

I can't provide them directly, but I can help you find places to obtain resources. It depends on whether you have the ability to seize them.

Presumably, you won't have any psychological burden about killing these villains.

Moreover, every force must have a small Blessed Grotto-heaven hidden behind it; without one, Innate Realm masters would simply not stay and follow.

How about it, Lad, interested in giving it a try?"

Elder Mu stared intently at Ji Mo, trying to discern something from his reaction.

However, Elder Mu really didn't expect Ji Mo's reaction to be even more excited than he imagined, almost as if he couldn't wait to immediately rush to Villain Island.

"Elder Mu, I want to go! This is undoubtedly a great Opportunity for me.

It's just that this place is very far from here; I'm worried I might miss this Martial Arts Gathering!"

Ji Mo asked Elder Mu with a slight worry.

"You don't need to worry about that; I will make all the arrangements."

Elder Mu's expression was calm, looking confident and in control.

Ji Mo and Elder Mu's conversation lasted for half a day, and what Ji Mo heard and saw during that time truly broadened his horizons.

He finally gained a clearer understanding of the general situation of the planet he was on.

Upon returning home, Nangong Xue'er, with a relieved expression, hurried forward to greet him, asking with concern,

"Husband, are you alright?"

Ji Mo immediately saw her deep worry, stepped forward, gently embraced her soft body, and comforted her,

"Don't worry, Xue'er, I'm fine. Let's go inside; I have something to tell you."

The two walked hand in hand into the room, and Ji Mo, unable to control himself for a moment, became intimate with Nangong Xue'er again.

Afterward, Ji Mo gently held Xue'er in his arms and slowly recounted all the detailed information from his afternoon conversation with Elder Mu to her.

Nangong Xue'er was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

She had never imagined that the world she lived in was so vast and grand, and she couldn't help but feel a yearning for the mysterious and unpredictable Endless Sea Region.

"Xue'er, I plan to first refine the Undergoing Tribulation Divine Light. Then, I'll have to leave for a while.

There's only one month left until the Martial Arts Gathering, and I must quickly improve my strength. For this Martial Arts Gathering, I am determined to win first place."

Ji Mo said, gently kissing the beautiful woman beside him. Seeing the reluctance in her eyes, he continued gently,

"Xue'er, as Cultivators, we shouldn't be fixated on brief reunions and separations.

In the future, we have endless Lifespan to accompany each other.

I also want to take you to the Upper Realm to experience the scenery and travel freely to other planes. After I leave, you go to the Holy Land, follow Master, and diligently Cultivate. Wait for me to return, okay?"

Nangong Xue'er nodded obediently, her eyes full of affection, but she still agreed submissively.

Seeing this, Ji Mo couldn't help but secretly sigh to himself, 'Ancient women are indeed gentle and lovely.' So obedient and sensible, whatever ideas he had, she would cooperate without any pretense.

The only minor flaw was that there were no black stockings in this world. Ji Mo unexpectedly had this slightly ungrateful thought at that moment.
