Chapter 2057 Departure
Since Penglai Fairy Island was passed down from the fairy world, Ye Chunyang naturally wanted to explore it.
The later the cultivation, the more opportunities are needed. Now that he has reached the late stage of returning to the void, if he wants to make further progress, he can no longer rely on meditation and comprehension, but must have opportunities to assist.
"Brother Ye." Guan Ruoruo stepped forward and called.
She looked at Ye Chunyang and said softly: "Our Tianhun Sect also wants to go to Penglai Fairy Island this time. The eldest sister asked me to ask Brother Ye if he can take us with him?"
Ye Chunyang was slightly startled and sighed softly: "At present, various forces are gathering in Penglai Fairy Island. If you go, I am afraid it will be very dangerous, and too many people will also attract attention, and the situation will be very unfavorable at that time."
"The eldest sister also thought of this, so there are only me, the eldest sister and Brother Lin among us, and the others stay in the Black Turtle Tribe to wait for news." Guan Ruoruo said.
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine."
It's not that Ye Chunyang doesn't want to take everyone from the Tianhun Sect to Penglai Island, but the situation there is unknown at the moment. If he rashly takes everyone to take risks, the consequences may be unpredictable.
He promised Fairy Jingchen that he would protect everyone's safety. If he takes them all to Penglai Island, he would never want to see any accidents.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, all forces are eyeing Penglai Island now. If you want to go there, I suggest you don't be anxious. I have asked the elders of the tribe to draw a map based on the information sent back by the spies. Let's go back to the tribe to discuss it before taking action." The turtle demon suggested.
"Okay."
Ye Chunyang had no objection to this.
The group left immediately.
...
In a stone house in the Black Turtle Tribe.
Several elders of the Black Turtle Tribe gathered together, discussing something with each other. On the stone wall in front of them hung a map, and one of the old men was holding his sword with two fingers, carving it with magic power.
The turtle demon led Ye Chunyang and others in.
"Clan leader, Fellow Daoist Ye."
Several Black Turtle elders greeted Ye Chunyang politely.
"Elders, no need to be polite." Ye Chunyang smiled and waved his hand, looking at the map on the stone wall in front of him, and asked: "Is this the route map of Penglai Fairy Island?"
"Exactly."
The elder who drew the map smiled kindly and said: "According to the news brought back by the spies, we old guys had a private discussion and drew this map. Now we only need the last small part to complete it."
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang glanced at it and found that the map was drawn in great detail. Almost half of the terrain of the Black Sea was marked in it. It can be seen that these Black Turtle elders have put a lot of effort into it.
"The elders have worked hard." The turtle demon looked at it together and praised it.
Although he ordered these elders to draw maps, their rapid progress was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
"You are too kind, Patriarch. We are just doing our part." The old man laughed and turned his eyes to Ye Chunyang. "Besides, this map is prepared for Fellow Daoist Ye. We should do our best to draw it in detail."
"Thank you." Ye Chunyang nodded. "With the help of this map, our trip to Penglai Island will be much smoother."
"Yes." The old man stroked his gray beard, then pointed to a certain location on the map and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, please look, this is the sea area where Penglai Island is located. It is about 3,000 miles away from our Black Turtle Tribe, and it takes about ten days to travel."
Ye Chunyang looked in the direction the old man pointed. The sea area on the map was in a very remote area of the Black Sea. There was no place to stay around, and only the outline of an island appeared there.
It can be seen from this that the marked island is Penglai Island.
"Ten days of travel... Is there enough time?" Lu Qingshang said on the side.
She also received accurate news. At this time, many forces in the spirit world have gathered near Penglai Fairy Island. As long as the ban on the island is lifted, everyone will rush in immediately. If they arrive late, they may miss this opportunity.
Lu Qingchang's question came out, and everyone looked thoughtful.
Penglai Fairy Island is far away from the Black Turtle Tribe. Such a situation is indeed a bit disadvantageous to them.
The turtle monster pondered for a while and wanted to say something. At this time, a voice came from the side: "Ten days is enough."
Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised. The turtle monster looked at Gu Qian in confusion and said: "Fairy Gu, do you have other ways to shorten the time?"
Gu Qian smiled and shook his head gently, saying: "Of course, the time cannot be shortened, but there is one thing you don't know."
"What is it?" Ye Chunyang was also a little confused.
Gu Qian glanced at him, and after a moment, he said, "I have heard from the Lord of the Netherworld that to open the ban on Penglai Island, you need to gather eight Penglai Immortal Talismans. Although there are many strong people in the Black Sea, these eight immortal talismans may not be able to gather together immediately. As long as the immortal talismans do not appear, we still have plenty of time."
When everyone heard this, they all understood.
"So that's it." Ye Chunyang nodded slightly.
Gu Qian's words, as long as the eight immortal talismans do not appear, no matter how many people rush to Penglai Island, it will be in vain.
"But how can Fairy Gu be sure that the eight immortal talismans have not gathered at this time?" The turtle demon hesitated again and said.
"It's very simple, because the Netherworld Clan has not set off yet." Gu Qian smiled faintly, and a faint light flashed in her hand, and a gray jade bead appeared.
It was the Netherworld God Bead.
Everyone looked at it and saw a picture in the Nether God Pearl. It was the Nether Clan’s base and the actions of the Nether Clan members. And the Nether Lord’s clone appeared in the Nether Palace.
“The Nether Lord has a Penglai Immortal Talisman in his hand. Since he has not left yet, it means that the ban on Penglai Island has not been lifted.” Gu Qian spoke slowly.
When she left the Nether Clan’s base, she expected that the Nether God Pearl would be useful in the future, so she brought it out, and it came in handy at this time.
“I didn’t expect that the Nether Clan actually had a Penglai Immortal Talisman in their hands. So it seems that the purpose of the Nether Lord’s clone coming to the Black Sea is clear.” The elder of the Nether Clan said.
“Yes, he came for Penglai Island from the beginning.” Gu Qian nodded and said.
“Can this Nether God Pearl monitor the movements of the Nether Clan at all times?” Ye Chunyang asked.
“Yes.” Gu Qian said.
Ye Chunyang thought for a while, then looked at the map on the stone wall and asked several elders of the Black Turtle Clan: "How long will it take you to draw this map?"
Several elders of the Netherworld Clan looked at each other, and then the old man who drew the map said: "It will take half a day."
"Okay, in this case, everyone go and prepare first, and we will set off to Penglai Fairy Island in half a day."
Ye Chunyang made a decision.
Lu Qingshang and others nodded when they heard it, and then went down to prepare their belongings.
...
Half a day later, on an island outside the Black Turtle Tribe, the turtle demon and a group of Black Turtle Clan members sent Ye Chunyang and others away.
"Brother Turtle, are you really not going to go with us?"
The Cang Luan demon spoke, flapping its wings and looking at the turtle demon with some regret.
Before leaving the tribe, the turtle demon decided to stay and not go to Penglai Fairy Island with them.
"Brother Cang Luan, Fellow Daoist Ye, you should be more careful on this trip, and I will not go with you." The turtle demon arched his hands and said with a loud smile.
"Why is that?" The Cang Luan demon asked in confusion.
"Haha." The turtle demon laughed and said, "You fellow Taoists have seen that our tribe has suffered a great disaster and now there is a lot of work to be done. As the leader of the Black Turtle Clan, I should stay and settle my people. So I can't go with you on this trip to Penglai Fairy Island."
The Cangluan demon sighed, and Ye Chunyang was silent for a while, then nodded, "Since fellow Taoist has made up his mind, we won't force it."
After saying that, Ye Chunyang clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you in the past few months. Let's say goodbye and see you later."
"Fellow Taoist, you are too polite. If it weren't for your help, my Black Turtle Clan would probably still be under ban. I should be the one to thank you." The turtle demon bowed and said solemnly, "Take care, fellow Taoists. I hope you can gain something from this trip."
"Take care."
Gu Qian, Qing Chen, Lu Qingshang and others said goodbye one after another.
The Cang Luan demon crawled in front, and a group of people rushed up. In the eyes of the Black Turtle Clan, it quickly turned into a light and disappeared.
"Clan leader, can Fellow Daoist Ye really find the passage to the fairyland in Penglai Fairy Island?" An elder of the Black Turtle Clan asked softly as he watched Ye Chunyang and others disappear.
"Maybe." The turtle demon sighed softly, looking at the direction where the group left, his eyes far away.
The elder pondered for a while, and then said: "It is said that Penglai Fairy Island does have an ascension passage connecting the fairyland, but the ascension calamity between the two worlds is extremely terrible. Even if you really find that place, I am afraid it may not be easy to get through."
The turtle demon frowned and was silent for a while.
Looking at the distance for a long time, he finally sighed and said: "The passage to the fairyland... is indeed not something that ordinary people can easily break into. I hope they can be luckier this time."
The Black Turtle Clan is one of the several ancient cultivation races in the Black Sea. They also have some understanding of the passage to the fairyland. The turtle demon knows very well how terrible it is. Even if they can really find it, it is not something that ordinary people can enter.
"Let's go."
With a sigh, the turtle demon said no more and led everyone back to the tribe.
At this time, on the vast sea, the blue phoenix demon led everyone to fly quickly. Ye Chunyang and Gu Qian sat cross-legged. In front, Lu Qingshang, Guan Ruoruo and Lin Qingshan were holding a map and identifying the direction.
"From the location marked on the map, we will pass through the territories of several races. I have heard that most races in the Black Sea attach great importance to their territories and do not easily let outsiders set foot. In order to avoid alarming them, we'd better be careful this time." Lu Qingshang reminded.
"Is there any way to take a detour?" Ye Chunyang pondered for a while and asked.
"It's not impossible to take a detour, but in this case we may have to walk twice as far, which will delay a lot of time." The blue phoenix demon responded.
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but frowned, stood up and looked into the distance, saying: "In this case, let's go straight all the way."
