Chapter 2012: Ascent Route Island

Easier said than done.

The island did not seem particularly distant, but in truth, it was overwhelmingly far away. After they had swum for around an hour, the island was still within sight, but it had become bigger and bigger than the initial tiny black dot it had once been.

Firstly, this sea limited everyone’s speed, and secondly, the island was indeed very far from them.

But as the island became nearer and nearer, even those with lower cultivation levels could clearly see the structures on the island.

“This island… is not marked on the map!” Qin Wei declared decisively.

Those forces that did business on the seas would all draw maps. If they had encountered a natural disaster that could not be avoided just like now, they would swim towards the nearest island, and wait to be rescued or save themselves.

And this had indeed saved their lives a considerable number of times. To these forces, the more detailed and more accurate the map was, the higher the chances of their survival in crucial times naturally were.

Though they had met with a natural disaster this time, and experienced massive loss, if they could further complete the map of the Qin Clan, they could still redeem a little of their losses.

…The coordinates of an unknown island could be sold off. Of course, this island would only be considered as a rescue station or a stopover.

“I have heard that the cultivators on the seas are all very ferocious, and some say that they are in the habit of feeding on human flesh!” someone suddenly spoke up in a shaking voice.

“Ptui, where do these rumors come from?” Immediately, someone else expressed their contempt for such lies.

“These are not completely baseless rumors. The living creatures in the sea have not become intelligent, so why would cultivators on the island have evolved?” another refuted.

“Don’t think of causing disturbance to the military morale!” Qin Wei humphed. He was the only Immortal Palace Tier in their group of 34 people, and naturally held absolute commanding power. The moment his words fell, no one else dared speak another word.

“The cultivators on the seas are also people who have migrated from our mainland. Their reasons vary. The majority have been forced away by their enemies, but there is also a small minority that has come out in search of treasure.”

“Treasure!” Hearing this word, a considerable number immediately pricked up their ears. They were instantly energetic, as if they had all forgotten that they were currently bathing in the waters of the boundless seas, and even returning to land was a problem.

“According to legends, there are rare treasures buried in the boundless seas.” Qin Wei only said these words, but he did not go into too much detail.

A great many people felt an itch in their hearts, but who would dare compel an Immortal Palace Tier great elite?

“Let’s continue swimming.”

Everyone returned back to reality. Their main priority was still returning to land. If they were really trapped for endless years on a remote island, then all of them could go nuts.

After another several hours, they had finally truly come close to the island.

This was a very large island, its coastline as long as several hundred miles. However, in the boundless seas, this was actually a small island. Some islands could even be as large as a Heaven.

An island that was less than the size of a star actually could not be called an island, and could only be considered a slightly larger “reef”.

“No wonder this island has never been discovered in millions and m
