Chapter 303 - 302: Gazing at the Vast Ocean’s Yuntai Palace from Afar

Chapter 303: Chapter 302: Gazing at the Vast Ocean’s Yuntai Palace from Afar

Ever since Lin Bai felt the killing intent, he hadn’t ventured onto the deck, but rather stayed in his room.

"Where is this killing intent coming from?"

"Nobody here knows me, who could harbor such deep murderous intent toward me?"

"Could it be the disciples of the other three Great Sects have discovered me?"

Lin Bai sat in his room, pondering for a long while, but still couldn’t find any answers.

Although Lin Bai had dominated at the Chaoyang Palace, earning a reputation, the majority of the warriors on this ship were low-level martial artists who had little to do with Chaoyang Palace’s affairs.

Thus, all they heard were rumors.

On this ship, Lin Bai firmly believed that no one knew his true identity.

So, the question arose.

Since no one knew Lin Bai’s identity, who was the one harboring murderous intentions against him?

For safety’s sake, Lin Bai spent the next three or four days meditating cross-legged in his room, practicing the Great Five Elements Skill.

After four days, the trading ship broke through the big waves, venturing beyond the boundaries of the Shenwu Kingdom and officially entering the overseas region.

"Look quick, that’s the Canghai Yuntai Palace."

"Wow, it’s so magnificent."

"Floating in mid-air, it’s just like a fairy realm."

When Lin Bai was meditating cross-legged in his room that day, he suddenly heard a series of gasps coming from the deck.

"Can you see the Canghai Yuntai Palace?"

Lin Bai was startled awake. He was very curious about the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

He stepped out of his room.

When Lin Bai arrived on the deck, he noticed it was already filled to capacity with people, each of them looking out into the distance with barely concealed envy in their eyes.

Following their gaze, Lin Bai looked out.

At the junction between the mainland of Shenwu Kingdom and the East Sea.

On top of a cliff, a group of palaces that resembled celestial dwellings stood tall and proud.

In mid-air, there were around ten more palaces, floating freely.

In the sky, the perennial rainbow bathed the area in its glow.

The raging sea waves that crashed here became docile.

This cluster of white palaces radiated a strong white light, as dazzling as a celestial palace.

"That place, is it the Canghai Yuntai Palace?"

Lin Bai stared at the palace cluster, his eyes showing his amazement.

In terms of grandeur and momentum, the Canghai Yuntai Palace, situated atop a cliff and bordering the sea, had an extraordinary aura, as if it could engulf the entire Jianghai.

The waves crashed against the shore but they could not bring down this cluster of palaces. It was like a giant, capable of withstanding all the storms on the path of martial arts.

From a distance, some martial artists, no bigger than ants, could be seen walking back and forth amongst these millennia-old palaces - these must be the martial artists of the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

The trading ship slowly went ahead.

And sailed into the East Sea.

When Lin Bai and the others looked back, under the white palace cluster, on the precipice, the four characters "Canghai Yuntai" were boldly carved into the stone with a sword in a style as dynamic as a dancing dragon or a flying phoenix.

"Canghai Yuntai!"

When everyone saw these four characters.

They were all stunned by the indomitable sword intent that had remained for over a thousand years.

At first glance, it was as if countless sharp swords had broken through the sky and attacked, stirring up thousand-foot waves, which scared a group of lower-level martial artists, making them collapse on the spot.

Their faces were stricken with extreme fear.

Seeing this sword intent, Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed in horror.

"This level of sword intent can only be achieved by a Third-order Sword Intent."

Lin Bai murmured under his breath.

"Lin Zi’er, are you in this palace cluster?"

Looking at the palace cluster again, Lin Bai spoke with a profound gaze.

"Wait."

"When I set foot on this palace cluster, this place will turn into a sea of fire!"

Lin Bai clenched his fists, speaking with fire spewing from his eyes.

As for Lin Zi’er, there was a shadow in Lin Bai’s heart that he couldn’t banish. This shadow was causing Lin Bai’s killing intent to surge several times over.

And Zhao Xiansheng and Murong Qi, they had tried to kill Lin Bai time and again!

Unless this revenge was exacted, Lin Bai wouldn’t consider himself a warrior!

Lin Bai had once told Zhao Xiansheng, by the time he set foot in the Canghai Yuntai Palace, it would turn into a sea of fire, and all the geniuses in the Canghai Yuntai Palace would tremble under Lin Bai’s sword.

And that day wasn’t too far off.

"There are just over five months left until the day of the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition."

"It’s fast approaching. I am almost ready, Lin Zi’er. Are you ready?"

Lin Bai spoke deeply.

Lin Bai’s cultivation was almost half-complete by now.

As long as Lin Bai had gains from this sea voyage and could find the Spiritual Spring Sea, he could then consolidate the Water Spirit Vortex. At that point, Lin Bai will have completed half of the latter part of his Great Five Elements Skill cultivation.

Only the Earth Spirit Vortex and the Wood Spirit Vortex were yet to be consolidated.

As for the Wood Spirit Vortex, Nanli Dao and Ye Guxing had mentioned that there was one in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty’s Famous Sword Manor.

If Lin Bai couldn’t find any Wood Attribute spiritual item within Shenwu Kingdom’s territory, he would have to make a trip to the Heavenly Sword Dynasty.

As for the Earth Spirit Vortex, Lin Bai still hadn’t obtained any information about the whereabouts of any Earth Attribute spiritual item.

This was causing Lin Bai some strife.

The trading ship broke the waves and left the shore, entering the waters off the East Sea.

The majestic palace of the Canghai Yuntai Palace disappeared against the vast ocean surface.

Entering the waters further afield.

Many warriors were excited, standing on the deck, watching the East Sea, which accommodated the Hundred Rivers, their minds were frivolous, and they couldn’t resist the urge to shout out loud.

But seeing the Canghai Yuntai Palace and feeling the tremendous pressure, Lin Bai was not interested in the beautiful scenery of the East Sea.

He returned to his cabin alone.

Just as Lin Bai was walking inside the passageway of the cabin, Lin Bai saw, at the end of this passageway, a warrior standing with his back to him.

He stood still as if he was waiting for Lin Bai on the spot.

Seeing this figure, Lin Bai felt a touch of familiarity.

"Waiting for me?" Lin Bai asked.

"Mm." the figure responded.

Lin Bai said, "The person who exposed his intention to kill me on the deck that day, was it you?"

"Hehe, Lin Bai, I really didn’t expect your life to be so tough. You were able to cut a bloody path out of the hellhole of the Chaoyang Palace."

"The Young Sect Master regarded you as the chief enemy, and he was right to do so."

The figure sneered.

Hearing this, Lin Bai suddenly asked: "Are you someone sent by Su Cang?"

"Hehe!" The figure laughed coldly, slowly turned around, took off the bamboo hat he was wearing on his head, and in front of Lin Bai, revealed the face of a ruthless young man.

"Qi Yang."

As the person took off the bamboo hat, Lin Bai immediately turned ashen.

He recognized the man.

It was He Ran, one of the nine core martial artists of the Spirit Sword Sect, a trusted aide of Su Cang, at the Heaven Martial Realm Sixth Layer level, Qi Yang.

"Lin Bai, you shouldn’t be surprised. From the time you left the Spirit Sword Sect, the Young Sect Master ordered me to follow you. I followed you all the way to the Imperial Capital, originally intending to let you die at the hands of the Warriors in Canghai Yuntai Palace or the Fire Palace."

"But I didn’t expect you not only to survive but also to make a big name for yourself at the Chaoyang Palace, overpowering the military genius, and fighting fiercely against the Three Great Sects."

"Such glory, not even the Young Sect Master could achieve."

"What a pity though, the Spirit Sword Sect finally produced an extraordinary genius, but now you’re going to die at my hands." Qi Yang’s mouth sketched out a hint of a cold smile.

"You and I serve different masters. If you blame anything, just blame yourself for standing on the wrong side!"

"Lin Bai, prepare to die!"

Qi Yang roared, and a Heaven Martial Realm Sixth Layer power burst out, sweeping the entire cabin.
