Chapter 983: Entering The Sea Of Stars (3)
During the session, the youths did not stop conversing among themselves. They did not touch on any deep topics and they conversed in the immortal language. But that was a language Su Yu knew so he was able to listen to their topics of conversation.
From what he heard, he learned that they all came from the same immortal king power. Some were Sunmoon descendants and some were Mountainsea descendants.
They did not come from a single family. But they all originated from a single clique known as the Heavenly Jade Monastery. Basically, a monastery was the immortal race's equivalent of an academy in the Human Realm.
Heavenly Jade Monastery...This was an unfamiliar term to Su Yu.
He did not know too much about the immortal race, just like how these youths knew very little about the human race. For most people, learning about their own realm was enough.
The youths had mentioned Immortal King Tian Xuan several times when conversing among themselves. That was how Su Yu had concluded that they probably came from Immortal King Tian Xuan's power. In fact, the immortal race's internal organization was quite similar to the human race's, with each immortal king ruling a different region.
But different from the human race, the immortal race also had a Pseudo Emperor. Of course, that was a term used by the humans. The immortals themselves would address their Pseudo Emperor as the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor was in charge of the Immortal Court and had the entire Immortal Realm under his rule. Most of the time, the immortal kings would be allowed to rule as they pleased. But when required, they all had to obey the Immortal Court.
However, the Immortal Emperor had not been seen in public for many years. Of course, the youths were not stupid enough to talk about secrets in front of Su Yu. They only talked about the publicly available knowledge. Ninestar Island was also mentioned several times by them. Su Yu was surprised to hear that.
Were they heading to the Ninestar Island as well? Was that island so popular? He was doubtful, but he didn't say too much. It also wasn't too surprising that they were heading there. Perhaps these people were going to fish for some of the treasures that might start appearing now that they were near the next opening of the Luminous Domain Mansion.
The flying ship continued moving at a rapid pace. Before long, it covered a distance of over two thousand kilometers. The Sea of Stars was near.
From afar...
Su Yu saw the most shocking view he had ever seen in his life. Countless glittering stars could be seen in the distance. Brilliant stars decorated the sky, with the sky distorting every now and then. On closer look, the distortions were actually the waves of the floating sea. Sounds of crashing waves could be heard even from far away.
That was a sea.
A floating sea.
A boundless sea in the sky. The mystical Sea of Stars was near.
Su Yu forced himself to remain calm. As for the immortal youths, this was also the first time many of them were seeing the Sea of Stars. Sounds of exclamation rang out repeatedly.
"Sea of Stars...it really is a floating sea."
"Big Brother Yun Sheng, will we be able to see the bottom of the sea from below?"
Yun Sheng laughed, "No. The Seabed Continent is down there. When you raise your head, you will only see a starry sky instead of a floating sea, as though there is no floating sea above you at all. This is a very mystical place. You won't be able to reach the sea from the seabed. Instead, you have to enter the sea from the sides."
"Is that really the case? That's so magical."
"Did anyone try sinking to the bottom of the sea and reach the Seabed Continent from the floating sea?"
Su Yu had never visited the three major seas of the Human Realm. But he had a feeling that no matter how spectacular the three seas were, they wouldn't surpass the floating sea before him.
"Allheaven Battlefield. What a magical place."
After a while, Su Yu started soaring into the sky. Flying up to the sky to reach a sea was quite a unique experience. As he rose into the sky, he gazed at the gentle waves knocking against empty air without actually falling to the ground below.
After rising over ten thousand meters into the air, Su Yu finally reached the same height as the sea surface. There, he was able to get a better look at the Sea of Stars Glittering dots of light could be seen in the sea, as though the sea had swallowed the stars from the sky above.
His surroundings were quiet and peaceful. Apart from the flying ship far ahead of him, he was the only person in the area. Once again, he gasped at the beautiful sight before him. Suddenly, a massive demonic beast emerged from the surface of the sea and shot toward the flying ship.
A sword was swung.
With one strike, the immortal expert beheaded the beast. But at the next moment, a shriek rang out as a massive bird dove down from the sky and shot toward the flying ship. With a rumble, the beak of the bird struck the ship and left a large hole in it.
Rumbling sounds rang out unceasingly.
In the blink of an eye, the flying ship was destroyed. The three Mountainseas hurriedly grabbed the youths under their care and flew out of the ship before shooting away into the horizon.
Su Yu was completely dumbstruck.
Holy shit! That was so dangerous!
The immortals had encountered two Mountainsea beasts right after arriving. How unlucky of them. Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, he hurriedly flew away while rubbing his chest. His heart was thumping madly in excitement.
There were so many demonic beasts here. Nobody would mind if a few of them died in his hands, right?
Su Yu licked his lips and grinned.
What a great place! He dove into the sea and turned into water, completely blending with the sea. He started telling himself that he was a water elemental! The sea was his territory! There were probably more water elementals here as well. After all, this place was too perfect for the water elementals.
Not long after Su Yu dove into the sea, a certain earth elemental arrived. After looking around sneakily, the earth elemental started transforming. His earthen skin started turning into mud and eventually, the earth elemental transformed into a water elemental. With the transformation done, he dove into the sea as well. People loved saying that earth elementals couldn't survive here. What bullshit.
Topsoil Spirit had arrived as well. His destination? Ninestar Island.
***
That was not all. People were arriving in succession. Some dove into the water while some remained in the sky. All of them were heading toward the Ninestar Island. As more and more people arrived, battles started breaking out everywhere.
Only when two dragons arrived did the chaos settled. Not one of the demonic beasts dared to attack the two dragons. After all, the dragon race was the strongest force in the Sea of Stars.
Various geniuses started congregating at the Sea of Stars.
Numerous masked individuals from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion started entering the Sea of Stars as well. Additionally, numerous groups of different affiliations were also arriving one after another. Some were here to hunt the other geniuses, and some were here to search for Su Yu.
