Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 232 - 179: Absolute Spirit Nightmare God, Mysterious Dwarf_2

Several hours later, Tao Qian realized that the sea beneath him began to exhibit some strange changes.

From normal to increasingly sinister and dark.

The appearance of a black boundary line ahead sent a jolt through Tao Qian's Soul, as a strong premonition of crisis surged wildly.

That was clearly a vast and completely dark sea.

The areas he had previously passed through, though somewhat strange, still allowed glimpses of Life, like oddly-shaped seabirds or huge sea creatures faintly visible beneath the waters.

But the dark waters ahead?

In Tao Qian's perception, there seemed to be no signs of life at all.

Even, as he approached, Tao Qian mysteriously felt the premonition that stepping into that sea could lead to a terrible crisis, and he might possibly die.

It would be one thing if it were just his feeling, but the Star Zha Demon carrying him forward felt the same.

This Demon Child, with a rare tone of intense fear in his voice, transmitted the message:

"Master, the sea ahead is very dangerous, I... I might not be able to cross it."

"No matter!"

Despite some surprise, Tao Qian had actually anticipated this. Taking out the Absolute Immortal Token, he shone it ahead, and a ghostly white light burst from the Token, emitting an immense, ceaseless Power, and opened a narrow path through the dark sea that could barely fit one person.

Without needing a special signal, Starlight fled into it.

Indeed, all premonitions of danger disappeared without a trace.

Nevertheless, Tao Qian still felt a lingering sense of unease.

"That is the Absolute Spirit Sea."

"The sea is filled with Absolute Spirit Water, originating from the Outer Realm, its effect both simple and terrifying—to eradicate Life."

"Any living being entering will be killed by the insidious Absolute Spirit Strange Power, unless their Cultivation Realm is high enough to exempt them, but how advanced must one's Daoist Transformation be to be immune to the Absolute Spirit?"

"Don't even think about using flying boats or similar vessels to cross, nearly all spells are forbidden in the sea, especially above the surface, where it is said, 'Not even a goose feather may float, and bulrush seeds definitely sink.'"

"Of course, there are exceptions, and with the Absolute Immortal Token, one may cross."

"To reach the Absolute Immortal Sea Islands, one must pass through two dangerous areas."

"One is the Absolute Spirit Sea, and the next is..."

Just as Tao Qian contemplated this in his mind,

he saw everything in his field of vision ahead filled with a kind of substance, like fog.

Gray and flowing, as if there were countless moths, even finer than Insect Eggs, meandering.

One glance, and anyone would immediately feel their eyelids grow heavy, falling into deep slumber.

And once truly asleep, their fate would not be a pleasant one.

Seeing this sight, Tao Qian immediately thought to have the Star Zha Demon stop, pulling it back into the Demon Gourd. He then wielded the Absolute Immortal Token again, and saw the ghostly celestial light wrap around his body before he plunged right into it.

In his mind, remaining thoughts were hiding away.

"The Absolute Immortal Sea Islands, far across the other end of the Penglai Sea, ideally should be surrounded by countless Great Prohibitions and Arrays to prevent the Spirit Treasure Disciples from accidentally wandering in."

"But there was no such precaution; because two areas stood as barriers on the outskirts—one is the Absolute Spirit Sea, and the other is the Nightmare God Cloud."

"Even if some lucked out and escaped the Absolute Spirit Strange Power, they would fall into the Nightmare God Cloud, succumbing to endless nightmares, dying without ever knowing how they died."

"Indeed secure enough, although they should have erected a sign before the Absolute Spirit Sea to warn passersby."

As the last thought fell, the gray fog before Tao Qian's eyes dispersed entirely.

And what reflected back in his eyes was an extremely peculiar sea that seemed to have solidified.

Within it, there were a vast number of islands.

Big and small, strange and oddly shaped islands that, for a moment, Tao Qian, too, could not count.

Especially many of the islands, shrouded in various terrifying Forbidden Techniques, not only prevented people from landing but also inflicted harm from just one or two glances from afar.

Tao Qian just looked a bit more and immediately felt a sourness, even tears flowing straight from his eyes.

He had to retract his gaze and look around, his brows gradually furrowing as he muttered:

"Aunt Yunhua and Master said coming to the Absolute Immortal Sea Islands to pick up treasures was a privilege for all True Disciples."

"The moment the Absolute Immortal Token was activated, I rushed over, and true inheritor siblings like Yang Jie and the Golden Crow Fairy should have done the same, so why haven't I encountered anyone?"

Tao Qian's confusion arose, but he quickly guessed.

Whether it is the Absolute Spirit Sea or the Nightmare God Cloud, including these Absolute Immortal Sea Islands, they all spanned an incredibly vast area.

There are a total of eighteen True Disciples in this generation of the Spirit Treasure Sect, thrown into such a large area.

It would be normal not to encounter one another.

With this thought in mind, Tao Qian temporarily set aside his speculations and began to survey the nearby landscape.

The large islands shrouded in prohibitions were naturally not his target, he didn't even want to approach them.

His targets were the islands without prohibitions.

Surprisingly, in just a few breaths, Tao Qian found an island not far from him that no prohibitions enveloped.

From afar, the island looked like a reclining human figure, though somewhat bloated, with a few smaller islands scattered around it due to rocks, trees, or simply bird droppings, all of different colors.

At first glance, nothing seemed amiss.

But as Tao Qian looked down from above, after a few more glances, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

The island was still an island.

But the shape and outline eerily resembled a dead person, an image that emerged after the Giant Temple display.

This discovery caused Tao Qian's brows to furrow, and a heightened vigilance took hold within his heart.

However, within the surrounding area, this was the only island without prohibitions.
