Chapter 340: Chapter 339- A scam! On a magic ship several hundred kilometers away, a lone vessel swayed gently as it cut through the dark waters of the Dead Sea.
Sitting cross-legged upon the deck was a young girl dressed in flowing dark-blue robes. Her face was exceptionally beautiful, possessing soft and delicate features that could easily stir the hearts of many men.
Combined with her gentle and innocent appearance, she resembled a young flower slowly blooming amidst a sea of black snow.
The dark-blue robes she wore were the signature attire of cultivators belonging to the Second Sequence of Sky Mist City.
With her eyes closed, the young girl sat in a state of deep meditation, completely focused on absorbing the spirit energy drifting through the air.
Unlike many cultivators who preferred remaining within the safety of the sect, members of the Second Sequence often chose to cultivate upon the Dead Sea. Many of them enjoyed hunting sea creatures more than performing the various duties assigned within Sky Mist City.
This was also the reason for the young girl’s presence here.
Although she appeared youthful, she had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm and successfully opened ten spirit perforations. Such an achievement at her age was enough to place her among the more talented disciples of the Second Sequence.
What she was most renowned for, however, was her speed.
Her mastery over movement techniques was extraordinary, allowing her to travel at speeds far beyond most cultivators of the same realm. Because of this, her master cherished her greatly and had gifted her numerous treasures and cultivation resources to aid her progress.
Yet despite receiving such support, the young girl remained unsatisfied.
She wished to cultivate even faster.
In her eyes, true growth could not be achieved by relying solely on resources and secluded meditation. Real progress came through danger and battle.
By hunting powerful sea creatures, she could place herself under immense pressure. Such pressure would stimulate her spirit perforations, increasing the chances of opening new ones and accelerating her cultivation.
Thus, she had decided to venture into the Dead Sea.
Unfortunately, she had only left the sect yesterday.
The distance she had traveled was still relatively short, and the number of sea creatures she had encountered could be counted on one hand.
As a result, she planned to travel farther into the Dead Sea before beginning her hunt.
The young girl continued cultivating peacefully.
Spirit energy flowed through her meridians as the surrounding world gradually faded from her awareness.
Then suddenly—
A sharp sound of tearing air echoed across the sky.
Her eyes snapped open.
A streak of brilliant flame was racing across the heavens.
The blazing arc cut through the sky with unmatched elegance and supremacy, leaving a trail of fiery light in its wake.
For a brief moment, the young girl was stunned.
When she focused her gaze, she realized that the flaming arc was not a spell or a magical phenomenon.
It was a person.
A young man was soaring through the sky at an astonishing speed while three brilliantly burning balls of Spirit Fire revolved around his body.
The flames burned with overwhelming brilliance.
They moved gracefully around him like celestial stars orbiting a sun.
The moment her eyes lingered on them, a painful stinging sensation assaulted her vision, forcing her to look away.
Her stunned expression quickly transformed into shock.
"Three Spirit Fires..."
Her voice escaped as a whisper.
The young girl stared in disbelief.
The person flying through the sky was clearly a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Yet he had already manifested three Spirit Fires.
Three!
Within the Foundation Establishment Realm, reaching such a level was considered extremely close to the peak.
Only those who had manifested four Spirit Fires could confidently surpass him.
As she observed him more carefully, her shock deepened even further.
The person appeared to be a handsome young man with pale skin and Grey hair. And he was around her age.
Someone so young yet possessing such cultivation was incredibly rare.
No.
Rare wasn’t enough to describe it.
Such a person could only be called a genius among geniuses.
"Where is he going?"
"Why is he flying so fast?"
"Doesn’t he know that recklessly flying over the Dead Sea could attract extremely dangerous creatures?"
