The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 331 - 330: Lost Sea

Chapter 331: Chapter 330: Lost Sea

Lin Bai took out a Heavenly Spirit Pill, held it in his hand, carefully examined it, and then threw it into his mouth. A torrent of medicinal power immediately dissolved and infiltrated his internal organs.

"A pill that costs a million spirit stones indeed has immense medicinal power," he remarked.

"It seems it’s possible to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm!"

After swallowing the pill, Lin Bai immediately felt its torrential medicinal power and was given quite a shock.

He immediately felt the potential to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.

"I might as well go all out then!"

"Perform for me, Devouring Sword Spirit."

With a thought from Lin Bai, the Devouring Sword Spirit started operating; a black glow emerged from all over his body, quickly refining the medicinal power of the Heavenly Spirit Pill and channelling it into his Dantian.

With the intervention of the Devouring Sword Spirit, none of the Heavenly Spirit Pill’s medicinal power was wasted by Lin Bai. It was all refined and absorbed into his body.

One by one, pills were thrown into his mouth.

Finally, half an hour later.

"I’ve reached the Third Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm!"

Breaking through to the Third Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, Lin Bai, was ecstatic. He glanced at the remaining pills in the jade bottle; there were still more than sixty left.

"I can break through to the Fourth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm. Let’s continue."

Lin Bai was overjoyed inside.

He continued to take the pills, operating the Devouring Sword Spirit to refine them.

Lin Bai needed a great amount of spiritual qi to break through his current Cultivation State. He could hardly imagine the spiritual qi needed to break through a single state. If he could break through two states with the Heavenly Spirit Pill, it would be a pleasant surprise for Lin Bai.

Two hours passed.

Lin Bai swallowed the last Heavenly Spirit Pill.

Finally, he broke through the threshold of the Fourth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.

"I’ve reached the Fourth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm. A hundred Heavenly Spirit Pills only allowed me to break through two states."

"Estimating that if I want to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, a hundred Heavenly Spirit Pills won’t be enough, at least five hundred would be needed..."

"The amount of Spirit Qi required to breakthrough each state is doubled!"

Lin Bai silently shook his head.

Lin Bai finished refining the Heavenly Spirit Pills but did not immediately leave. Instead, he spent half an hour stabilizing his Cultivation State at the Fourth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm inside the cave mansion.

Only then did Lin Bai open the stone door and walk out.

When Lin Bai stepped out, he found that the others had already come out.

After Lin Bai came out, he waited for more than a day.

Eventually, the others gradually emerged one after the other.

The first one was the Poison Dragon Island Master. When he appeared and saw Lin Bai had already been waiting, he said in surprise: "Huh, I fancied myself as the first to come out. I did not expect that Lin Bai, my young friend, would be one step ahead."

Lin Bai closely examined the Poison Dragon Island Master’s Cultivation, which had broken through from the Seventh Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm to the Eighth Layer.

"I congratulate Poison Dragon Senior on breaking through the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm," Lin Bai congratulated with a fist salute.

"Just by a stroke of luck," the Poison Dragon Island Master responded with a noncommittal smile, but was unable to hide the joy in his eyes.

He had been stuck at the Seventh Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm for five years, with no breakthroughs. Now, relying on the medicinal power of a hundred Heavenly Spirit Pills, he had just barely reached the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.

Next was Xue Jianke.

Xue Jianke, initially at the Fifth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, had now broken through to the Seventh Layer.

Jin Qiu, from Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer, advanced to Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer.

Xiang Tian, from Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer, advanced to Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer.

After examining the progress of the others, Lin Bai nodded in secret. Everyone had made progress.

However, Lin Bai had advanced the least, due to the huge amount of spiritual energy he required. Otherwise, an ordinary warrior at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer could have advanced to the Heaven Martial Realm Sixth Layer by using just a hundred Heavenly Spirit Pills.

But Lin Bai had only advanced to Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer, falling short by two layers.

The five of them finished their seclusion and sought out Hua Qinghai.

On this clear morning.

Hua Qinghai and the leaders of the other Eight Great Clans gathered in one place, sitting with grave expressions. Every one of them had an extremely unpleasant look on their faces.

"Since the five of you have come out of seclusion, we should prepare to head to the Land of Sealing," Hua Qinghai led the discussion.

"Apart from you five, there will also be experts chosen from our Eight Great Clans for this trip to the Land of Sealing."

"They are Hua Wanqing, Long Feihai, Sun Jiacheng, Qiu Biao, and... Sha Tongtian."

Hua Wanqing, the Eldest Young Master of Peach Blossom Island and one of the Seven Kings of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, was reputedly an expert as well. His deployment to the Land of Sealing was not surprising.

Meanwhile, Long Feihai, Sun Jiacheng, and Qiu Biao were core members of the eight clans and were also remarkably significant.

As for Sha Tongtian, after being defeated by Lin Bai, Sha Lang had intended to choose another disciple to go to the Land of Sealing instead. However, after Sha Tongtian was defeated by Lin Bai, Sha Lang chose him.

At the same time, these five individuals had also received a hundred Heavenly Spirit Pills, allowing Sha Tongtian’s cultivation state to advance to Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer.

Behind the Eight Great Clans, five young men stepped out.

The Cultivation State of these five young men was also the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer.

Especially Sha Tongtian, who stared at Lin Bai with an endless stream of cold smirks after stepping out.

"What a pity, I couldn’t kill him that day. It seems more trouble is destined for the future." Lin Bai looked at the cold smirk on Sha Tongtian’s face, and regret welled up in his heart.

Lin Bai had never thought for a moment that Sha Tongtian would let bygones be bygones.

The pirates from the East Sea were notorious for holding grudges. Once you’ve provoked them, the best course of action was to eliminate the threat completely. Otherwise, the trouble would go on indefinitely.

Lin Bai had initially thought that by knocking Sha Tongtian into the sea, the Evil Sharks would eat him. However, he had forgotten that Sha Tongtian was a high-ranking member of the Frenzied Shark Sect, and the Evil Sharks wouldn’t dare to touch him.

Hua Qinghai said, "This time, the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman will be with Sha Tongtian. Lin Bai, Jin Qiu, Poison Dragon Island Master, Xue Jianke, Xiang Tian, your task is to protect the disciples of the Eight Great Clans, ensuring their safe arrival at the location of Sealing."

"As for how the sealing will be done, you five don’t have to worry. You just have to ensure their safety."

Poison Dragon Island Master asked, "Since we’ve come this far, shouldn’t we be informed about the actual location of the Land of Sealing?"

As soon as Poison Dragon Island Master asked the question, Lin Bai and the others also expressed their curiosity.

The look in Hua Qinghai’s eyes shifted. He glanced back at the leaders of the Eight Great Clans and said solemnly, "The Land of Sealing is located in Lost Sea."

"Lost Sea!" Upon hearing this, Poison Dragon Island Master’s expression changed drastically.

Xue Jianke, Jin Qiu, and Xiang Tian also wore troubled looks on their faces.

Only Lin Bai was bewildered.

"What is Lost Sea?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Xue Jianke said, "Lost Sea is a forbidden area in the East Sea. It is said that beasts beyond the Heaven Martial Realm live within. Not a single trading ship or warrior who entered it has ever made it out alive."

"Also, the Lost Sea is rumored to fly."

"A few years back, I searched the East Sea for the Lost Sea with no success."

"Moreover, there are whispers about the Different Beasts, the Giant Beasts of the sea. Do you know where the Poison Dragon Island Master caught his Poison Dragon Beast? Allegedly, it was in Lost Sea."

Xue Jianke spoke nonchalantly.
