Chapter 337: Chapter 337: It’s My Fault Xia Liu’s expression gradually became serious. Suddenly sensing such a massive amount of spiritual energy was definitely not a coincidence. He looked around and noticed that the Earth Realm Warriors were all very calm, while the Low-Rank Warriors were puzzled. Because it was their first time here, and they shared the same thought as Xia Liu, not a single island had been seen in the surrounding seas. Nor was there any land, yet Song Jie had said they were about to arrive at Immeasurable Island. This was just ridiculous… After the ferry continued to sail for a few more minutes, it suddenly came to a stop. Xia Liu could clearly sense that, thirty meters ahead, nature’s spiritual energy was gathering the most. “Could it be a formation?” As he continued his research, Xia Liu couldn’t help but speculate. Invisibly, that nature’s spiritual energy was very evenly enveloping the area ahead, even though he couldn’t sense it all. But with such evenness, there must have been something empowering it. And the most likely thing was a formation! Moreover, it was a Spirit Formation that only cultivators could deploy! “Family Head, why has the ship stopped?” “Master, what’s going on?” … Because of the ferry’s stop, many of the Low-Rank Warriors on the deck started to inquire of their leaders. Those Earth-Rank Warriors who had been to Immeasurable Island before all smiled, feeling a great sense of achievement in answering such questions. “As I thought, I have returned here.” Looking at the boundless sea ahead, Lin Xiaotian murmured with his head bowed. “Xiaotian, you said you sneaked out of the Immeasurable Sect, how did you deal with this Island Protection Formation?” Xia Liu was not sure either, but he could talk about anything with Lin Xiaotian; it didn’t matter if he was wrong. “You know about this Island Protection Formation?” A flicker of surprise passed through Lin Xiaotian’s eyes at Xia Liu’s concern. If it was his first time on Immeasurable Island, he definitely wouldn’t know about the Island Protection Formation, but Xia Liu had brought it up, which was simply terrifying. “Mm, I can sense that a tremendous amount of nature’s spiritual energy is converging ahead,” Xia Liu nodded and whispered. “Damn! You can sense nature’s spiritual energy?” Lin Xiaotian was excited; Xia Liu was defying the heavens, even able to sense spiritual energy. “Hold your admiration for now and tell me about your situation,” Xia Liu waved his hand, as it was not the time to reveal his status as a cultivator. If Lin Xiaotian knew that he practiced a different cultivation technique, the guy might pester him endlessly. If it were a common cultivation technique, Xia Liu would certainly be willing to share it. But the Five Elements Mantra was akin to a heritage cultivation technique; without fulfilling those stringent conditions, one simply could not cultivate it, so he decided to keep it secret for the time being. Seeing Xia Liu take such an interest in him, Lin Xiaotian sighed and began to explain softly, “I made a mistake back then, sneakily entering the Library Pavilion. After the incident occurred, the Sect Leader sent martial artists to capture me…” “And then?” “Before the incident was discovered, my cultivation had already reached the Earth-Rank Primary Level. Because of the secret technique, no one was aware of my cultivation level, so the Sect Leader only sent Mysterious-Rank experts to intercept me.” “Mm, that’s interesting, how did you break through this formation?” Xia Liu nodded; this guy’s approach was very good, knowing how to conceal himself, which could make others lower their guard. “Talking about it now feels like I’ve committed sin.” Having reached this point in the story, Lin Xiaotian realized it was no longer possible to turn back, and could only continue, “At that time, the one in charge of the Island Protection Formation was the Sect Leader’s daughter, who had just come of age. I couldn’t control myself and did that to her, then I stole the command to open the formation and fled.” After hearing this, Xia Liu was taken aback, as this was different from the version Lin Xiaotian had previously told him. He had earlier said that he accidentally killed two fellow disciples during a sparring session in the sect, and then the Sect Leader wanted to cripple his cultivation. As a consequence, he fled the sect, was hunted by elite martial artists from the sect across Huaxia, and only managed to escape abroad after exhausting all his strength. Now, it seemed that the matter was much more serious; he had actually done that to the Sect Leader’s daughter… “Xia Liu, I feel this trip has more dangers than fortune,” Seeing Xia Liu silent, Lin Xiaotian said weakly. “You could have imagined what you would encounter before coming here, so why did you still come?” Xia Liu really wanted to know Lin Xiaotian’s true thoughts. Having disappeared for several years and now reappearing, the Sect Leader of Immeasurable Sect would certainly be infuriated, and he would inevitably have to face the entirety of Immeasurable Sect. “I wronged that girl. After wandering outside for so many years, it’s time for me to atone.” “Atone? That sounds too severe, an apology at most,” Xia Liu responded. “Apology? The Sect Leader will never forgive me, not even if I died,” Lin Xiaotian knew the Sect Leader of Immeasurable Sect’s temperament all too well; if he were discovered, he would be relentlessly struck down until death. “Alright, your matter is my matter. Let’s not think too much for now. After I get the cultivation technique, we’ll go talk to the Sect Leader,” said Xia Liu. “Mm, if I accidentally expose myself, don’t come out,” “Heh heh,” Xia Liu smiled slightly, without saying a word. How could he not come out? His brother, Xia Liu, was not one to be trifled with by anyone in the world! Faced with Xia Liu’s attitude, Lin Xiaotian fell silent, taking every bit to heart. The moment Xia Liu achieved victory and entered the Library Pavilion would be the time for him to atone. Boom… Just as Xia Liu was about to say something else, a peculiar sound suddenly emanated from within the cabin. The sound was somewhat like a giant bell, but upon careful listening, it was different—its frequency was just too low. However, what was astonishing was that, although the tone was very low, it could clearly reach everyone’s ears, indicating that the sound could travel very far, even breaking through the Island Protection Formation! “This is the lament of the dragon, a special method of communication of Immeasurable Sect. When such a sound is emitted from the ferry, the martial artists inside the Island Protection Formation will receive the message and then open the formation to let us through,” explained Lin Xiaotian. “This is quite impressive, to be able to break through formation and reach the inside,” Xia Liu said, slowly nodding in response. “Ah, I hope that girl isn’t the Great Formation Protector,” recalling that delicate and fair youthful face, Lin Xiaotian couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s possible, you’d better stay hidden in the crowd for now. It’ll be troublesome if you’re discovered,” said Xia Liu, now thinking about acquiring the cultivation technique and then addressing the matter between Lin Xiaotian and Immeasurable Sect. If Lin Xiaotian were to be recognized upon entering the formation, it would probably mean the end of the martial combat. Understanding Xia Liu’s concern, Lin Xiaotian nodded and immediately blended into the crowd. As soon as Lin Xiaotian was ready, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky ahead. “Look! The Great Formation of Immeasurable Island has been opened!” Some of the experienced martial artists screamed in excitement at the sight. As the light slowly faded, everyone could see with the naked eye that the seascape ahead had undergone a tremendous change, and a massive island had miraculously appeared in the waters. Above the island, the sky was a brilliant azure, and there was a mountain peak with swirling mists at its summit. The greenery enveloped the island, presenting a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
