Chapter 402: Entrance

Chapter 402: Entrance

Immediately thereafter, the flying carriage descended into the sea down below at Daoist Hu Yan's behest.

Upon entering the sea, the blue light emanating from the carriage instantly completely fused as one with the surrounding seawater, and it was as if the carriage had become a part of the sea.

The carriage then shot forth through the water as a streak of light, while Xu Yangzi praised, "This flying carriage of yours is indeed extremely profound, Fellow Daoist Gu. It looks like the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor really does contain some exceptional treasures."

"You're far too kind, Fellow Daoist. If we can enter the immortal manor, I'm sure all of you will be able to reap some exceptional spoils," Daoist Hu Yan replied with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to it," Elder Zhen Yun said with a smile.

"Hopefully, the entrance of the immortal manor really is beneath Red Moon Island, and we manage to enter the immortal manor without any incident," Lu Lan said.

A faint smile appeared on Daoist Hu Yan's face, and he didn't speak any further as he gently stomped a foot down onto the flying carriage, upon which it accelerated even further.

The carriage was traveling rapidly through the water in a wraith-like manner, and it wasn't causing any physical disturbance or displacement of water.

The fish and the demon beasts in the sea continued to swim around and forage for food, completely oblivious to the carriage's passing.

Han Li was inspecting his surroundings, and he was also quite impressed with the carriage.nOveLb1n

The craftsmanship of this carriage was exceptional, and the person who had refined it clearly had outstanding mastery over the laws of water as well, so it was indeed very safe taking this carriage through the sea.

However, judging from the immortal spiritual power fluctuations that it was giving off, it was most likely quite taxing on Immortal Origin Stones as well. It seemed that Daoist Hu Yan was making an investment here so that the True Flame Sect cultivators would be willing to accompany them.

Han Li looked around momentarily before sitting down with his legs crossed in a corner of the carriage, then closed his eyes to meditate.

As for the other True Immortals of the True Flame Sect, all of them also did the same after the excitement and novelty of the carriage wore off.

Sea Fig Island wasn't far away from Red Moon Island, and this carriage was extremely fast, so it only took them around two days to arrive at their destination.

Instead of directly reaching the island, the carriage stopped in the sea several hundred kilometers away.

Everyone on the carriage had already risen to their feet, and they were observing the enormous island up ahead in silence.

"I didn't think this island would be so massive. Even if that rumor is true, it won't be easy to find the entrance of the immortal manor on such a huge island," Daoist Hu Yan said as his brows furrowed slightly.

The Infernal Frost Scenic Painting wasn't going to help them in this situation, and in order to remain covert, they couldn't use their spiritual sense to search for the entrance, either.

Given those circumstances, searching such a huge island was indeed going to be quite a difficult task.

Xu Yangzi and the others were all looking at one another, and it was clear that they were also at a loss for how to proceed.

"Let's go around the island and search its border. Perhaps we'll be able to make some discoveries," Yun Ni suggested.

"I suppose that's better than nothing."

Daoist Hu Yan couldn't think of any better strategies, so he decided to adopt this idea, and the carriage set off once again at his behest.

He then turned to Xu Yangzi's trio with an inquisitive expression, but it was clear that they were just as lost as he was.

"He went down that trench, Martial Uncle," Han Li said as he pointed at a giant trench not far away.

An elated look immediately appeared on Daoist Hu Yan's face and he asked, "What is this spirit eye ability of yours? How is it able to allow you to see so far?"

At the same time, he was making a string of hand seals, and the blue flying carriage immediately flew toward the trench that Han Li was pointing at.

"You think far too highly of me, Martial Uncle. There's no way my spirit eyes can see that far, it's just that the ability allows me to see spiritual power fluctuations, and I was able to see some of the traces that person left behind," Han Li explained with a smile.

At his current cultivation base, he was able to see faint spiritual power traces even without combining his Brightsight Spirit Eyes with his Law Destruction Eye.

"Even so, it's quite remarkable that your spirit eye ability was able to detect such faint spiritual power traces," Yun Ni praised.

Xu Yangzi's trio was also forced to re-evaluate Han Li upon hearing this, and Han Li merely gave them a modest smile in response.

At this point, the flying carriage had already flown deep into the trench.

The terrain here was also extremely complex, without countless tunnels and passageways that led to unknown places.

These passageways seemed to have been formed naturally, but it was unclear how they had arisen.

A peculiar look appeared in Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.

During the Gong Shuhong assassination mission, he had remained on the island the entire time, so he was unaware of the complexities present beneath the island.

Han Li continued to work with Daoist Hu Yan, with the former using his spirit eye ability to follow the spiritual power traces, while the latter controlled the flying carriage.

Some places that they had to pass through were quite narrow, only several feet wide, but the carriage was able to expand or shrink at will, and all of the cultivators onboard were also able to manipulate their own bodies through various means, so this was no obstacle for them.

Close to an hour passed by in the blink of an eye, and the blue flying carriage continued to traverse slowly through the water.

The rock tunnels on the seabed were blue in color, resembling ice crystals, and they were giving off wisps of spiritual qi, indicating that they were similar in constitution to some spirit materials.

It was extremely dark this deep in the sea, and the only source of light came from the faint blue radiance emanating from the rock tunnels.

Han Li continued to inspect his surroundings with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes, and at this point, he could detect many spiritual power traces, as if many people had come here before.

He immediately revealed this observation to Daoist Hu Yan and the others, and everyone was elated to hear this.

The fact that so many people had recently passed through this area indicated there was a very good chance that the entrance of the immortal manor was up ahead.

Daoist Hu Yan remained patient as he continued to slowly advance the flying carriage through the water, and after traveling for a while longer, bursts of rumbling suddenly began to ring out up ahead, as if there were a battle taking place.

Everyone was even more encouraged upon seeing this.

"It should be just up ahead!"

"Looks like that piece of news was true, after all."

"Don't let your guard down, everyone. We still can't be sure yet, so let's not get complacent," Daoist Hu Yan cautioned as he made a hand seal, and the flying carriage accelerated slightly.
