Two hours had passed, and beneath his eyelids was an endless expanse of water.
The vast blue sea stretched endlessly, appearing to be nothing but water as far as the eye could see. Initially, it felt somewhat fresh, but over time, the scenery became monotonous. During these two hours, they passed several areas filled with Spiritual Energy. Sometimes there was a deserted small island, and at other times, they flew over the deep seabed. Such places typically harbored rare treasures and spiritual herbs, guarded by sea monsters or certain spiritual beasts in the ocean. Li Hong did not stop to investigate and continued flying eastward.
Occasionally, pearl-like small islands dotted the boundless sea. From above, one could see the pristine white beaches, the swaying green trees, and various colorful birds and beasts; the scenery was quite pleasant. Soon they flew past again, only to be met with another vast expanse of ocean ahead.
Li Hong and Ling Yi Zi both appeared to be at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, and their flying speeds seemed comparable. However, Li Hong had refined Ten Infants, with his Earth Soul Nascent Soul avatar reaching perfection. Thus, Li Hong actually possessed about ten percent of his power close to the Heavenly Fusion Stage, naturally making his hidden strength significantly greater than Ling Yi Zi's.
In the entire Cultivation World, no one would find themselves in Li Hong's situation since no one cultivated Nascent Soul avatars, and the cultivation levels of avatars and their main bodies were often inconsistent. However, in the Six Spirit Salty Ritual, there is a special annotation for this cultivation stage called "Yu Ying Period." As the name suggests, Yu Ying refers to the avatar refined from the Nascent Soul. It can be said that the Yu Ying Period is a unique stage for cultivating the Six Spirit Salty Ritual. At this moment, Li Hong was in the Yu Ying Period between the Nascent Soul Stage and Heavenly Fusion Stage. Before coming here, Li Hong recalled his Earth Soul Avatar but left his Heavenly Soul Avatar in the Ancient Celestial Field Temple's secret chamber to continue its cultivation.
After a whole day of flying until nightfall, they were still above the endless sea. The only difference was that as darkness fell, the color of the water deepened until it became pitch black. Meanwhile, stars began to twinkle in the sky.
While flying, Li Hong suddenly had a thought and made a sudden stop. Ling Yi Zi was unaware and crashed into Li Hong from a hundred feet away. He turned back in surprise but stumbled and unexpectedly collided with something invisible, causing him to bounce back helplessly.
Li Hong quickly caught Ling Yi Zi. Ling Yi Zi stabilized himself mid-air and pointed ahead in astonishment: “There’s an invisible barrier over there!”
Li Hong nodded: “It seems we have reached our destination. This barrier should be the legendary natural barrier that separates Middle-Earth from Western Bull Hezhou overseas. We need to approach carefully and find a way through.”
Li Hong cautiously flew closer, extending his hands in front of him. Strangely enough, although his Divine Consciousness clearly sensed an obvious force field fluctuation there, it was invisible to the naked eye. If he reached out his hand halfway without feeling anything, but if he continued pushing forward, his hand would bounce back sharply with a tingling sensation at his fingertips.
What kind of barrier is this? Li Hong pondered. If he flew through it he would be bounced back; if he slowly extended his hand it would also bounce back—what exactly was this barrier?
After thinking for a moment, Li Hong dove into the water and soon found his target—a six-foot-long Ocean Fish.
The Ocean Fish had a gray-blue back and a streamlined body; when lifted out of the water it thrashed side to side unwillingly, its eyes surprisingly reflecting a hint of intelligence.
Li Hong lifted Ocean Fish with one hand and smiled, "It won't hurt you; I'm just using you for an experiment." He gently tossed it forward, and Ocean Fish soared into the air, crossing over ten or so zhang of Sea Surface, directly passing through the invisible "wall." With a splash, it fell back into the water, too frightened to swim back. With a flick of its tail, it darted forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hmm? Humans can't fly over, but fish can?
Li Hong tried to fly forward from the height where the fish had just "flown." He barely flew three feet before bumping his nose against the "wall" with a thud. He turned around, rubbing his nose, and smiled wryly at Ling Yi Zi, saying, "Looks like that won't work."
Ling Yi Zi pointed to the sky and said, "It's probably because we're too low above the water's surface. Let's try flying higher."
"Good idea." Li Hong's eyes lit up as he understood Ling Yi Zi's meaning. Since that wall blocked Middle-Earth and Western Bull Hezhou, its length was beyond Divine Consciousness's perception; what about its height? With that thought, he soared up along the wall until the clouds were beneath him. It seemed he couldn't sense the force field of the "wall," so he tried to move eastward. Just as he took a small step, there was a loud thud; this time, his forehead hit first as Li Hong crashed into the "invisible wall" again.
Rubbing his head, Li Hong frowned at Ling Yi Zi, who had risen beside him, and said, "It seems it still doesn't work."
Ling Yi Zi frowned and said, "Fish can pass through while we cannot. It's extremely high and long; who could have set up such a Strange wall here? How bizarre! It's clearly designed to trouble us cultivators!"
"So it's specifically targeting us cultivators?" Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Li Hong's mind. He shouted, "I understand!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out an object, shaking it as he exclaimed, "Wake up; don't sleep anymore!"
This object was soft and only palm-sized. At that moment, it was yawning continuously and could barely open its eyes; it was an incredibly cute little white cat—Little Fei.
On this outing to find the mysterious treasure within the enormous Heaven and Earth Yin Spirit Eye in Western Bull Hezhou, Li Hong had worried about encountering difficult monsters like Soul Devourers and had persuaded Little Fei to accompany him.
Little Fei yawned widely but finally lifted its head and opened its eyes. With its blue eyes scanning around, it immediately became dissatisfied. Li Hong heard a tiny girl's voice calling out to him: "Didn't you say you wouldn't wake me unless we encountered a big monster? Where are the monsters now? Hmph! Master doesn't keep promises!"
Li Hong cradled Little Fei in his palm and coaxed, "Even though there are no spirit beasts right now, there's something even more fun than spirit beasts. Don't believe me? Just try it!" Without further ado, he mischievously tossed Little Fei toward the invisible high wall.
Caught off guard, Little Fei was startled and hadn't reacted when its entire body passed through the invisible barrier. Being a naturally spiritual creature, it only felt slightly surprised before understanding what had happened. As it saw itself falling toward the ocean below, Little Fei quickly changed shape without hesitation; four golden wings appeared on its back first as its body began to enlarge. Every strand of white fur radiated golden light from within. In the end, Little Fei resembled a divine being enveloped in a halo of golden light.
However, as Little Fei flew towards the high wall, preparing to meet Li Hong, it was mercilessly bounced back by an invisible barrier. It turned out that if there were cultivators on the other side, they wouldn't be able to get through either!
Li Hong laughed heartily: “Little Fei, you just stay over there!”
“No!” Little Fei shouted angrily. With a quick twist of its eyes, it suddenly transformed back into its hidden form and lunged towards Li Hong before hitting the sea. “Meow…” it let out a fierce cry and pounced back into Li Hong's arms, its four paws digging deeply into Li Hong's clothes.
Instead, Li Hong laughed. He gently patted Little Fei on the head to comfort it and casually said to Ling Yi Zi: “It seems we have a way now.”
Ling Yi Zi smiled meaningfully.
After dawn, two strange black-green rafts appeared on the surface of the sea. They were surprisingly made from layers of huge seaweed, as wide as a table, tied together, resembling a soft bird's nest. Li Hong and Ling Yi Zi lay flat inside the "nest," their spiritual energy contained. They covered themselves tightly with several large pieces of seaweed, leaving only their arms exposed outside the raft, each holding a large shell. Using the shells to paddle through the water without using any spiritual energy or Divination Technique, they relied solely on their arm strength to gradually move the strange raft towards the invisible high wall.
Although they felt a bit anxious inside, the high wall indeed disappeared, and the seaweed raft successfully reached the other side.
With a whoosh, Li Hong jumped up from the seaweed raft and turned to "gaze" at the high wall. He thought to himself that it was truly remarkable! Such a technique of Restrictions could only be set by the Ancient God.
Ancient God, how many great feats did you leave behind? Could it be that everywhere in the four seas and eight wildernesses there are traces of your divine presence? Li Hong squinted his eyes, feeling a tumultuous wave in his heart.
