Chapter 2279: Chapter 2299: Golden Sea Route_1

"This mountain peak may look cumbersome, but its defensive capabilities are indeed very strong!"

Lin Chen, gazing at the numerous mountain peaks that still generated out of thin air like giant shields standing tall on the land, couldn’t help but feel moved.

Zi Yun nodded in agreement, "The earth is thick and weighty, naturally offering the best defense. Now that you’ve infused the Way of Earth into them, they are even tougher to breach. My Space Cutting might be sharp, but it feels like using an embroidery needle to stab a wild bear..."

Having learned the divine powers, the group once again set out on their journey.

Their destination was the North Sea Qing Shen Sect.

Lin Chen and Zi Yun had separated from Yao Xuanji and the others in the Immortal Palace, and many years had gone by in a flash. Lin Chen was also eagerly looking forward to seeing everyone again.

He didn’t know whether Yao Xiong had successfully joined the Qing Shen Sect, nor whether Chu Jiaxue, Gu Yuexi, and the others had found suitable sites to establish their Cave Mansions and build their own little homes?

Lin Chen, Zi Yun, and Lu Yao all returned to Linglong Tower, leaving travel arrangements to one of Lin Chen’s avatars.

Ever since Lin Chen acquired the Avatar Ability, he took to delegating menial tasks to his avatars while he himself remained safely within the Linglong Tower, not neglecting his cultivation.

Due to the marvelous nature of the Avatar Ability, there’s a difference in ability between the avatar and the original, but in other respects, they are no different.

The avatar is the original.

Lin Chen traveled northward. After a long journey, he finally arrived at the northern edge of Eastern Brilliance.

The Endless Sea.

Hai Ling City, located at the utmost northern frontier of Eastern Brilliance, is a maritime city.

There are three shipping routes through the Endless Sea, distinctly far from each other, and Hai Ling City is the starting point of the central route.

Hai Ling City falls under the influence of the Mountain Sea Sect, and this shipping route starting from Hai Ling City also belongs to the Sect.

The powerhouses of the Mountain Sea Sect regularly patrol the route, slaughtering any Great Demon daring to approach it, ensuring its safety.

By controlling this route, the Mountain Sea Sect controls a golden path.

The Mountain Sea Sect runs a vast shipping company. All goods and travelers using this maritime route between Eastern Brilliance and the Northern Sea must pay a fee to the Sect.

Imagine the immense interests generated from the countless transactions between Eastern Brilliance and the Northern Sea?

The Mountain Sea Sect may not be one of the Twelve Immortal Sects of the Myriad Immortal Hall, but it possesses an extremely strong foundation. The Sect has many Daluo Initial Immortals and is truly a wealthy family within the Immortal Realm.

According to rumor, there’s a secret agreement between the Mountain Sea Sect and the Myriad Immortal Hall. Each year, the Sect offers a certain portion of its earnings to the Myriad Immortal Hall in exchange for permanent management rights over this route.

This is the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain!

Everything belongs to Myriad Immortal Hall!

What they give you, you can have, but what they don’t, you can’t take by force!

If you dare to reach out, they’ll chop your hand off!

With a special channel like the shipping route involving traffic between Eastern Brilliance and the Northern Sea, how could Myriad Immortal Hall allow it to belong to an uncontrollable immortal sect?

While enjoying the unique cuisine of sea demons in Hai Ling City, Lin Chen, Zi Yun, and Lu Yao also heard many rumors about Hai Ling City, the shipping route, and the Mountain Sea Sect.

After savoring the delicious food, Lin Chen found out that to take a ship, one simply needed to go directly to the pier and buy a ticket. Different ships had different fares, with higher security levels, larger, and more luxurious ships costing more.

During ordinary travels, there wasn’t much to see, usually leaving the avatars to do the job. But now that they had arrived in the seaside city, naturally, everyone wanted to come out and broaden their horizons.

Even immortals enjoy traveling around to see different scenery. What’s more, when Lu Yao’s heart was at leisure, they enjoyed fine tea, wine, delicious food—anything that made them comfortable.

What about cultivation?

Lu Yao simply gave up.

Back in the day, even at the peak of their youth and energy, without being able to make any breakthroughs, there was no point in struggling now with only one life left. Following Lin Chen around for easy-going days was enough, thinking about where to die and be buried, without worrying too much.

The three of them arrived at the northern pier of the city, finding the ships so colossal and densely packed along the seaside that one could not see the end of them.

Countless goods piled up on the quay as high as mountains, and an army of workers, like ants, was busy transferring these goods onto the ships.

"Why don’t they use Magical Treasures to transport these things? Wouldn’t that save a lot of trouble?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It may be suitable for cultivators to use Spatial Rings or other container Magical Treasures for many of their items, but these traded goods are often for Ordinary People’s use, like grain and cloth. These commodities occupy a lot of space and aren’t worth much. And even for resources needed by cultivators, such as ores, they’re shipped in large amounts. How much can a tiny Spatial Ring hold?"

Lu Yao laughed and added, "To cultivators, the goods we can see are generally not worth much. It’s the goods we can’t see that are valuable."

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over the pier, found the ticket office in the central position, and said with a laugh, "Let’s go, we’ll buy the tickets."
