Destination

It was a ship that seemed to be formed from glass, similar in shape to a capsule, not too big and completely transparent.

Ming Ze instantly thought of a submarine because it seemed exactly like that.

The inside had a 3×3 room with a height of about 2.5, not very spacious, even without seats.

After jumping out of that river, the glass ship moved to the edge where Ming Ze and Xia Qinghe were.

Then a hole similar to a door appeared in the ship's wall, becoming its entrance.

"We call this ship the Ship of Light. Without this ship, you wouldn't be able to dive into this river because anything with life would be constantly pushed up. In the past, there were four in this river, but throughout the ages, three did not return, disappearing with the disciples who rode them. Now there is only one left," Xia Qinghe said, explaining about the ship.

After which, she took a step towards its entrance.

"Come on in, we can go to interesting places with this," she added, waving her hand to Ming Ze.

The latter became very curious.

And suddenly, he realized that the disciples were looking at him with sharp eyes, as if they didn't accept what they were seeing.

Understanding what they were thinking, he felt like laughing at that jealousy. His ego as a man seemed to want to taunt them with the privilege he received from Xia Qinghe.

Of course, that was something he didn't need to do as it would only ruin his image.

As she had already entered the ship, he finally went in after her.

Shua!

The hole disappeared so that the ship was completely covered.

From inside, he didn't feel anything strange. Standing there was quite comfortable and the air was also the same as outside.

Xia Qinghe seemed to be controlling it with her finger.

When she lowered her finger, the ship slowly descended under the river's water.

Ming Ze stared down, waiting to see what was under the river since it was invisible from above.

The further the ship went down, the worse the expressions of the Holy Light Sect disciples became.

Shua!

It moved so quickly all of a sudden that it instantly moved underneath the river.

The scene seen by Ming Ze then became different, something that greatly surprised him.

He didn't feel like he was under a river anymore, but under an extremely vast and clear ocean.

Even his eyes could see to their fullest due to how clear the water was.

It was a transparent white color similar to light.

Fishes whether big or small could be found everywhere, pure white in color, looking like their flesh was made of solidified milk.

Far below that sea, there was a vast land mass.

Ming Ze was made to think that it was even larger than the entire Immortal Human World.

Although he didn't know how vast the Human Immortal World was, but because of his power, he had the perception as if he could sense into that entire world.

Unfortunately, that was not the case here. He could only tell what his instincts told him.

It wasn't just land, of course.

Magnificent buildings stood on it, made of silver. They were tall, forming city after city.

The roads were wide and neat, lined with cement that seemed indestructible.

Even the entire area that Ming Ze could see had no trace of damage.

Only, there were no people except for fish. On this seabed, the fish were truly too big, averaging over 1 KM in length, there were even some that reached 100KM in length. They were like a moving land mass.

"What is this place, Miss Xia?" Ming Ze asked with his eyes fixed on the woman's eyes.

"An ancient world submerged in a sea of light," she replied, continuing to stare down.

"The Seven Realms are full of the remains of ancient worlds. Some of them are even larger than the Seven Realms themselves. However, as you know, they are all ruined worlds, different from this world. Outsiders don't know that our sect has one stored in our territory. Otherwise, everyone from outside would come and force their way in. Maybe you're the first outsider to know."

Her explanation somewhat surprised Ming Ze.

"Don't you feel that it's a problem bringing me here? The elders will definitely be angry with you," he said with a strange expression.

"If anyone has the most right to this world, it's me. I have the right to bring whoever I want," Xia Qinghe replied.

After saying that, she looked at the land below.

"This is because I came from here," she added.

"The ancestors found me when I was a baby and then started taking care of me in this sect. Actually, the Holy Light Immortal is rumored to be from this world as well. Unfortunately, I cannot clearly discover my origins because the people from this world have disappeared."

"Where did they disappear to?" Ming Ze couldn't help but ask.

If they disappeared, how could anyone appear.

"I don't know, probably went somewhere better." Xia Qinghe shook her head.

Afterwards, she asked, "do you know why I brought you here? Of course, it's not just because I wanted to."

She looked at Ming Ze again while laughing softly.

"Why?" Ming Ze asked back.

"Wait and see, if the results are good, you'll also have tremendous luck," Xia Qinghe replied.

Shua!

That glass ship called the Ship of Light moved faster.

It descended until it was about 100 meters at ground level before moving forward.

They passed by those huge fish that sometimes looked at them curiously.

An aura of silence, it was something Ming Ze clearly felt in this place.

"Do you know where those people disappeared to with those three ships?" He asked Xia Qinghe again.

There were many things that made him curious as this seemed strange even for the cultivation world. That was why he couldn't stop asking.

"This is hard to guess. Ever since there were three ships lost, the sect no longer allows the disciples to venture too far in this world, worried that the last ship will disappear as well. We were forced to stop searching for them," the woman replied.

"Over there!" she added suddenly, pointing at a huge tower that was extremely tall and massive.

It was not in the city, but on the side of the road quite far from the city.

Perhaps before water filled this world, that place used to be a dense forest.

Ming Ze originally thought that it was made of silver, but when he got close to it, he realized that the tower was made entirely of brown wood.

It was just glowing constantly so it seemed like it was silver-colored when viewed from afar.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist, at the bottom of this sea, we can get out. We won't be pushed up," Xia Qinghe said.

Right after that, the ship's door appeared again, but it didn't let any water into it.

Xia Qinghe then stepped out of the ship.

Ming Ze followed behind her with his eyes fixed on the wooden tower.

Surprisingly, after getting out of the boat, he didn't feel like he was in the water. His clothes weren't wet and he could still breathe to speak normally.

It shouldn't be possible in the water although not breathing wouldn't make a top-tier cultivator die and they could still speak through inner communication.

"In all the safe places to explore in this world, this tower is the best treasure," Xia Qinghe said, seemingly planning to explain the tower before being asked.

"Although this is just a simple-looking tower, inside, there is something called the Path of Light. It is the path to the top of that tower. However, only the Infinite Sovereign can enter. Flying on that path is very difficult. Strength was not the determinant of everything. Talent, strength of heart, cultivation foundation, all of those might play a role. The higher one could go, the better the rewards would be. And at the end, there is a map. I brought you here because I feel that your deep cultivation might be able to pick up that map. Although I have two Primordial Talents, unfortunately I still can't retrieve it. It might work if I can awaken the Ninth Wheel of Life."

After speaking so much to explain about the tower, the woman took a deep breath for a moment, looking directly into Ming Ze's eyes with a smile that seemed pleading.

"Fellow Daoist, I brought you here because I want you to try to help me, I hope you don't mind and forgive my selfish intentions. If you succeed, I owe you a favor. I am doing this because I am very confident in your abilities."
