On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Several more days passed.

Buzhou Mountain.

Below the Emperor's temporary palace.

As sunlight streams through the stained-glass windows of the dome, it casts dappled patterns of light and shadow on the bluestone floor of the main hall.

Lu Chuan stood in the center of the main hall.

A huge animal hide lay spread out in front of him.

A map of the sea was drawn on it using an unknown black pigment.

The lines are bold and rugged.

It is very detailed.

The outlines of the islands, the direction of the ocean currents, and even the monster lairs marked in certain sea areas are all drawn clearly.

"This was painted by a sage six thousand years ago."

The Sage of Azure Cloud stood to one side, a hint of helplessness in his aged voice.

"At that time, in order to find an opportunity to break through to the Martial Emperor level, he crossed the Endless Sea and went to Xiniu Hezhou."

"This map of the sea was drawn by him during his journey."

He paused, then sighed.

"But that sage ultimately failed to break through."

"This map has been in the palace for thousands of years, and many of the directions are probably no longer accurate."

The Azure Cloud Saint raised his head, his gaze towards Lu Chuan complex.

"But this is all we have left."

"You can only rely on it to get to Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou."

The sage who saves the world took over the conversation.

"Once you arrive in Xiniu Hezhou or Beiju Luzhou, you may be able to obtain a more accurate map of the sea from the local forces."

"Um."

"I know."

"At least the general direction needs to be accurate!"

Lu Chuan looked down at the animal skin map.

Regardless, as long as the general direction is accurate, he can traverse the endless seas and reach the route to Xiniuhezhou.

He reached out and rolled up the animal hide, storing it in his system space.

Lu Chuan then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the four sages.

"My esteemed sages, that lad shall depart now."

The Azure Cloud Saint looked at him, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it only turned into a sigh.

Be careful in everything you do.

"Human race".

"Waiting for you to come back."

Sage Xiang Meng stepped forward and patted Lu Chuan heavily on the shoulder.

"Kid, come back alive."

He only said those four words.

Both the Sage Who Saves the World and the Sage Who Reaps and Loses also clasped their hands in greeting.

"Take care of yourself."

Lu Chuan looked at the four elderly people with white hair and bowed deeply.

Then he straightened up, turned around, and strode out of the palace hall.

outside the temple.

The sunlight was blinding.

Lu Chuan looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

boom!

True energy erupted from his body.

He transformed into a crimson rainbow, soaring into the sky before disappearing into the clouds in an instant.

On Mount Buzhou.

The four sages stood at the entrance of the palace, looking up at the receding crimson light.

For a long time.

The Sage of Azure Clouds was the first to bow.

He clasped his hands together again and bowed deeply in the direction Lu Chuan had left.

Xiang Meng, the Sage, the Sage Who Saves the World, the Sage Who Endures Both Prosperity and Decline.

The three of them bowed and clasped their hands in greeting.

Four sages.

They all bowed.

……

Not at the foot of the mountain.

Dozens of veteran martial arts masters also emerged from their respective caves and rock crevices.

They were still bound by thick iron chains, their hair was unkempt, and they were covered in sand and dust.

But at this moment, they all looked up at the crimson light that was about to disappear into the horizon.

Venerable Liuyun was also trembling all over.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed.

"Venerable Lu".

"Please come back alive."

Black Wind Venerable also clasped his hands in greeting.

Venerable Cangwu clasped his hands in greeting.

The Iron-Boned Venerable clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Dozens of martial arts masters bowed in unison.

The wind howled, making their robes and chains rattle.

They didn't speak, but in this way, they bid farewell to the young man who carried the hopes of humanity.

In the sky.

Lu Chuan's figure had already transformed into a tiny point of light.

Then it disappeared completely into the horizon.

At the summit of Mount Buzhou, white clouds drifted lazily, while the martial lords below maintained their clasped-fist posture.

It's been a long, long time.

No one straightened up.

……

This voyage overseas.

Lu Chuan's destinations were Xiniuhezhou and Beijuluzhou.

He calculated the route and decided to go directly to Beiju Luzhou, which was a little closer, to get the first main medicine, then go to Xiniu Hezhou, and finally return to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

However, the plan sounds simple.

But in between lies a vast and boundless ocean.

This sea area is so vast that even if one departs from Wanghai Cliff in Dongsheng Shenzhou and travels on the most sturdy ocean-going vessel...

They can only stay on some of the surrounding islands.

The ship was unable to go any further.

Therefore, half a month later, the large ship that Lu Chuan was on docked at a place called Yingzhou Island.

This is also the outermost edge of the flight path.

Further in, there was no island or endless sea to anchor in, and ships dared not venture any deeper.

The journey ahead.

He would have to rely entirely on his own true essence to fly across that unknown deep sea.

Therefore, to be on the safe side...

Lu Chuan decided to resupply on Yingzhou Island first, and also see if he could get his hands on a more detailed nautical chart.

The ship docked at the port of Yingzhou Island.

Strangely, none of the merchants and sailors who were regular seafarers disembarked.

Seeing Lu Chuan packing his things to disembark, the captain kindly stopped him and repeatedly reminded him to be careful and to be back on the ship before dark, and not to spend the night on the island.

Although Lu Chuan was puzzled, he would fly on his own for the rest of the journey and naturally would not return to the ship.

He did not refuse the other party's kindness.

He nodded and disembarked directly.

Stepping onto the land of Yingzhou Island, Lu Chuan looked around.

The island isn't very big.

The total area.

It is estimated to be smaller than the Jiangnan Province of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Because of its geographical proximity to the Federation, the architectural style on Yingzhou Island is quite similar to that of the Federation, with reinforced concrete buildings everywhere.

People were coming and going on the street.

Lu Chuan also noticed this.

The island's residents are generally short in stature.

Most of the men have shifty eyes and a sleazy look.

Aside from being shorter, the women were not much different from the women of the Federation; they had fair skin and were quite pretty.

But soon, Lu Chuan discovered a big problem.

The people on this island are extremely xenophobic.

As he walked down the street, everyone around him stopped and stared at him.

Lu Chuan had a distinctly federal face; he was tall and handsome, standing out like a crane among chickens in this group of short, scrawny people.

The passersby looked at him with suspicion.

There was even undisguised hostility.

Lu Chuan felt puzzled.

This is my first time in this godforsaken place, and I haven't offended anyone, so why is everyone looking at me like I'm their enemy?

He couldn't be bothered with these ordinary people.

Walk forward along the street.

I found a hotel that looked fairly clean and went inside.

There was a male waiter standing at the front desk.

He was only up to Lu Chuan's chest when he saw Lu Chuan come in, and his expression changed immediately, his gaze becoming very strange.

Lu Chuan frowned again, walked to the front desk, and said...

"Let's get a room."

What is it?
