The Sea Sky Forest was filled with trees.

The forest covered three mountain ranges and six large mountains.

Within, there were natural forces at play, and it made even powerful cultivators tread lightly.

Finding someone inside was a daunting task.

After a few days, Li Sanyuan and Kong Ying successfully arrived.

The forest appeared no different from an ordinary one. It was tranquil and unremarkable.

Only when someone entered it could they sense the danger there.

As they approached, someone appeared by their side.

“Senior Li, Senior Kong,” they said in greeting.

“What’s the situation now?” Li Sanyuan asked.

“I’m not sure. All I Imow is that there’s indeed an area inside. Junior Sheng went in but never came out. We tried various communication methods but couldn’t reach him. Later, Senior Lu went in and also disappeared,” the young man said.

“Lead the way,” Li Sanyuan said.

As they looked at their surroundings, there was no sign of the boundary of the Corpse Sea.

There was still time.

The three proceeded inside.

After a short while, they came upon a small hill.

A formation lit up. Trying to challenge it would be like provoking the entire Sea Sky Forest.

“It’s indeed unusual.” Li Sanyuan frowned.

Then, he instructed the academy disciples. “The two of us will go in first. You stay outside and observe. If anything happens, seek the academy’s help. Mr.

Jing is not here. Try to find him if you can.”

After giving the orders, Li Sanyuan and Kong Ying entered the formation together.

In their opinion, even if they were outmatched, the formation should not affect them.

However, upon entering, they encountered a surging colossal wave.

It radiated rot and decay.

In shock, they exerted their power to repel the seawater.

Afterward, rising into the air, they saw that an endless sea had covered the entire Sea Sky Forest.

“When did this happen?” Li Sanyuan was astonished. “We must leave immediately! ”

However, two figures emerged from the void.

They looked somewhat old. Their eyes radiated decay.

“Corpse Extinction Elders…” Li Sanyuan furrowed his brow. “You’re still alive?”

“The Astronomical Academy is still standing. How can we die? This time, you can’t leave. We have invested a lot of effort, and there is no chance of failure,” said the Corpse Extinction Elder.

“I will hold them off.” Li Sanyuan glanced at Kong Ying.

The latter didn’t hesitate and began to flee.

Boom!

A fierce battle erupted.

No matter how they fought, they couldn’t stop the Corpse Sea from covering everything around them.

The Sea Sky Forest had become the Corpse Sea Forest.

Jiang Hao had been experimenting for several days and finally made some progress.

The Mountain Sea Seal enhanced sealing techniques, such as the Universe in a Palm.

It was much stronger than before.

There were also various enhancements for magical treasures, especially the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield, which had its defensive power increased.

The seven forms of Heavenly Blade each were enhanced in different ways, except the third and fourth forms.

The first form, Moon Slaying, was enhanced slightly.

The remaining were Inquiry and Mountain Suppression.

The Inquiry Technique had quite a few enhancements, given the overwhelming advantage of the Mountain Sea Seal.

The Mountain Suppression Technique was enhanced only slightly.

The original technique that had the pressure of a hundred mountains now encompassed the grandeur of the seal.

The strength of that technique had increased by more than thirty percent.

It was incredible.

He threw in another one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones.

At that moment, it felt as if there were two strands of the Mountain Sea Seal within the original Mountain Sea Seal.

His strength had begun to approach an ordinary Immortal Ascension Platform cultivator.

Now, with only a hundred thousand spirit stones left, he dared not spend them recklessly.

He felt something strange. Despite being so wealthy, he hesitated to spend the spirit stones.

He sighed. Jiang Hao understood the reason.

When he used spirit stones to consume the divine soul of the Holy Master, it ran out too quickly.

He was worried it wouldn’t be enough.

For the past few days, he had been waiting for Granny Kufa, but unfortunately, she had not arrived yet.

He didn’t know how long it would take.

Fortunately, he could afford to wait.

As for the situation in the Sea Sky Forest, there was no news yet.

After a while, he went to Hong Yuye’s room.

He wanted to go to the ancient city. Perhaps there would be some clues there.

He didn’t want to act recklessly. He wanted to wait for the outbreak in the Sea Sky Forest.

In doing so, he could prepare beforehand.

If the Astronomical Academy could prevent the appearance of corpses in the Sea Sky Forest, that would be great.

“Senior, do you want to go to the Ancient City to look for clues?”

It was too far away, so he didn’t dare go alone.

Once beyond a certain distance, the influence of Hong Yuye on him would disappear.

Strong cultivators and spies would be able to see through him.

“Did you find any clues?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes. There are some leads,” Jiang Hao reluctantly said. In reality, he hadn’t started looking for the ancient pages yet.

The main focus was the Sea Sky Forest.

He only knew the rough location of the Jianxin Cliff.

He needed to ask around.

He had deliberately avoided asking because he didn’t want to decide whether to go there yet.

If he didn’t know about it, there was no need to hurry.

Hong Yuye chuckled. He got up and walked outside.

Jiang Hao quickly followed.

This time, it wouldn’t take long to get there. They could reach it on the same day.

However, as he followed Hong Yuye, he felt the surrounding objects receding in a way he couldn’t understand.

After a short while, they stood before a city.

The words “Ancient City” were written on it.

People coming and going were mostly ordinary folks.

“Excuse us, please make way,” said a middle-aged man behind them.

Jiang Hao looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his forties pushing a cart.

He quickly stepped aside.

Fortunately, Hong Yuye followed along, or else the man would have had to take a detour.

The man appeared to be around thirty, but he looked older than he was because of exhaustion.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Hao realized the man might be younger than him.

This was the difference between ordinary people and cultivators.

He made his way forward.

He didn’t deliberately avoid the crowd or use his power to clear a path.

He just watched out for Hong Yuye and tried his best to prevent anyone else from bumping into her.

He didn’t mind the crowd himself.

She didn’t care about other people. She just didn’t want people getting in her way.

There were quite a few people here, but he didn’t care.

Jiang Hao felt that even if he pretended to be one of them, he was still different from the people making a living here.

They lived under this sky. They farmed and harvested their crops and worked from sunrise to sunset.

This place was lively.

As for himself, although he seemed better off than countless others, he didn’t feel fulfilled.

It felt like he would be struck down any moment. He was unsure where he would end up next.

He felt like he was stuck in one place.

He sighed and looked at the shops around the city. “Senior, are you hungry?” he asked.

Hong Yuye was surprised, but she nodded.

She felt that he had changed in some way..
