Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 698: Chapter 424: Fierce Territory_2

And this Elder shook his head, equally puzzled, “Something isn’t right. The Secret Land is only thirty thousand li away; we should have arrived by now. Could something have gone wrong?”

“Many sects have confirmed the emergence of the Secret Land, and even two days ago, a few sects had already sent people ahead. If the Secret Land were a misunderstanding, it wouldn’t have lasted until today.”

Michael Silvercloud looked worried, thinking of the worst possibility—that they had gone in the wrong direction and missed the Secret Land entirely.

However, the captain of this ship, with decades of sailing experience, was exceedingly knowledgeable and unlikely to make such a basic mistake. Despite this, they had no choice but to call the captain over and ask what was going on.

The captain revealed a bitter smile and spread his hands, “I’m not sure why we haven’t arrived at the Secret Land. Firstly, I can be certain that we did not go in the wrong direction. And from the ocean’s currents, I can tell that we have been following them since the beginning.”

“From my experience, perhaps the coordinates of the Secret Land were incorrect from the start. The information we received might have been false, deliberately leading us in the wrong direction!”

“What you say makes sense!” Michael Silvercloud nodded in agreement, “But if we went in the wrong direction, which way should we correct our course to now?”

“There are thousands of people on the ship, among whom are many skilled individuals, especially those with the ability to deduce and project. Why not seek everyone’s opinion?”

An Elder beside him suggested that pondering alone was pointless; it was better to let everyone brainstorm together, which would certainly be more effective.

Michael Silvercloud had no ideas and felt they could only do just that. The people on the ship had been in lively discussion for the past two days, and upon hearing Michael Silvercloud’s words, everyone became increasingly anxious.

“Could it be? Could the Longlin Gate have done this on purpose?” someone angrily voiced out, convinced that the Longlin Gate did not want everyone to share the chance for fortune, so it misled the group.

“I think it’s possible. I’ve been feeling that something’s off for the past two days. It has always been Michael Silvercloud and the captain in contact; everyone on deck is just listening and letting it happen.”

Many people chimed in with agreement, even speculating about the previous thief, Orion Heaven; could he also be related to the Longlin Gate, deliberately putting on a show?

This greatly dissatisfied Michael Silvercloud, who retorted, “If that were true, what good would it bring to the Longlin Gate? Wouldn’t we miss the opportunity just the same? All you know is to create strife. Just look after your own survival then. After all, one can briefly fly after reaching the level above the Throne in cultivation.”

Seeing Michael Silvercloud angry, those who had just voiced their complains immediately became afraid, and the rest of the thousands on the ship dared not even breathe too loudly.

“If we’re on the right course, keep heading straight!” At this moment, the Holy Daoist stood up, “These past few days, the sea has been rife with Demon Beasts, which can affect the ship’s speed. What you might expect to cover in a day might actually take ten times longer.”

“So, what might typically take one day now requires ten. But since we continue day and night, one more day should yield some results.”

The Holy Daoist was a stranger to the people, whose words carried little credence. Fortunately, Michael Silvercloud nodded his head, deciding to give the Daoist’s suggestion a try.

After sailing for a long time, they finally saw a small island emitting a powerful pressure, which excited everyone on the ship, believing it must be the Secret Land.

The Holy Daoist frowned, feeling something amiss, “Odd, why is this Secret Land so close to the Immortal Realm? The Immortal Realm is right above this small island, in a small world.”

“Could it be a chance given by the people of the Immortal Realm?” Logan wondered, but the Holy Daoist firmly denied it, asserting that the people of the Immortal Realm were not willing to entangle with them, let alone be so generous.

The sudden appearance of the Secret Land might indeed relate to the Immortal Realm, for there have been too many Sanctuary Powerhouses journeying there throughout history; it would be impossible for them not to have discovered this Secret Land.

“Since we have doubts, let us first follow this group to the Secret Land to investigate the truth, and then we can proceed to the Immortal Realm. This way, we are sure to be foolproof!”

As the ship docked, thousands swarmed down, and thus Logan suggested as well. The Holy Daoist did not reject the idea, also believing it was necessary to take a look.

Michael Silvercloud and the others were not in a hurry, instead, they gathered all the members of the Long Kirin Sect, “I will say it again, do not act rashly after entering the Secret Land. Not only is the Secret Land fraught with danger, but we also need to be wary of other cultivators. This time, quite a few enemies from other sects have come.”

“Don’t worry, Miss!” Dozens of people nodded their heads, and only then did Michael Silvercloud wave her hand, leading the crowd to follow up, with the two Holy Daoists closely following behind.

The so-called Secret Land was actually a crack in the sky, emitting a strong force of the Law, making everyone feel a chill.

It was said that a few days ago, countless opportunities fell from the crack, allowing many to pick them up, including the Divine Weapons of the Sanctuary Powerhouses and Heavenly Treasures.

At this spot now, there were already tens of thousands of cultivators gathered below, all from various top-tier sects. Just the number of Half-step Saint Seats exceeded a hundred, and there were also many Quasi-Saint Powerhouses present. Everyone was staring intently at the crack, hoping for an opportunity to fall upon them.

This scene made the Holy Daoist even more incredulous, further confirming his speculation, “Does this truly relate to the Immortal Realm? Could this crack be from the Immortal Realm?”

After a long time had passed, suddenly, a stalk of Herbal Medicine fell from the crack. Without any second thought, everyone flew up to grab it. Naturally, others used their Divine Skills to block them, and a great battle started instantly, with Michael Silvercloud and her group also participating.

After a struggle, one of Michael Silvercloud’s Quasi-Saint subordinates grabbed it, a trace of joy appeared on his face as it turned out to be a hundred-year-old Cloud Flower, which would be greatly beneficial if refined into an Elixir.

The others looked on with envy but dared not contend with the Long Kirin Sect. Firstly, the other party had three Quasi-Saints, and secondly, they were the last to arrive, and their power was at its peak while many of them had been guarding this place for one or two days already, having fought countless times, and were more or less injured.

The Holy Daoist approached and spoke to Michael Silvercloud, “May I take a look at this stalk of Herbal Medicine? I don’t want it, I just find it very familiar.”

Michael Silvercloud was quite generous. After the Holy Daoist took it for inspection, he could confirm one fact; the Herbal Medicine indeed fell from the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm was different from common places because its Spiritual Energy was too abundant, making the Herbal Medicine far stronger than that of the outside world.

“Could an Immortal Fruit fall as well?” Logan laughed heartily, his eyes filled with hope. If that were the case, there would be no need to make a trip to the Immortal Realm.

The Holy Daoist shook his head, Immortal Fruits were extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm, how could they possibly fall from here? It would be fortunate enough to have some common Heavenly Treasures fall.

“Let’s leave this place. I’ll take you to find the entrance to the Immortal Realm!” The Holy Daoist believed there was no time to delay, and led Logan away. They had barely walked a dozen steps when an accident occurred.

Suddenly, a force appeared and surrounded the tens of thousands of people below the crack. They were only about a thousand strong, in fact, ten times fewer in number, but they had over a hundred Semi-Saint Powerhouses and ten Quasi-Saint Powerhouses, and the leading individual had even reached the level of the Sanctuary Powerhouse.

“You’ve had three days of opportunities here. We, the Wind Family, will be late to the feast. Hand over everything without missing a single item, and we can spare you!”

The Head of the Wind Family smirked arrogantly, “Anyway, if anyone dares to defy this, they shall die here and now. Do you really think you’re worthy of the opportunities from the Immortal Realm?”

With just a casual attack from an elder by his side, the heavens and the earth seemed to shift, causing tens of thousands of people to feel as if they were treading on pins and needles.

“What’s the background of the Wind Family, to actually have a Sanctuary Powerhouse?” Everyone was frightened. Although there were many Quasi-Saint Powerhouses among the tens of thousands, they were nothing compared to a Sanctuary Powerhouse.

Michael Silvercloud was both angry and shocked. The Wind Family and the Long Kirin Sect had been at odds, openly and secretly for hundreds of years, with the Long Kirin Sect always having the upper hand. Who would have thought that today the Wind Family would pull such a stunt?

But the problem was that the other side had a Sanctuary Powerhouse. No matter how arrogant and domineering, it seemed they had the tyrannical reason to do so. What could they do?

Michael Silvercloud had never heard that a strong one from the Wind Family had recently broken through, yet now this was the reality. How should the situation be handled next?

If it were only for the sake of opportunities, the Long Kirin Sect could step back, but if the other side took this chance for revenge, today she would face a slim chance of survival.
