The ship sailed toward the Cloud Piercing Continent, arriving at the shores of the Kingdom of Jiao a week after they departed, and then cruised the shorelines of the Outer Ocean toward the Piercing Cloud Empire.
There was a small gulf on the outer side of the continent which was quite conveniently located for Wu Long's purposes as the Cloud Piercing Sect was on one side of it, and the capital of the Empire was located near the most inland part of the gulf.
There were several attacks by 9th-tier Demonic Sea Beasts on their way, but they were all either used as target practice for members of the Dao Family, or thwarted by the ladies of the Frozen Garden Palace.
In this time, Wu Long explored his cultivation, as he now had Hong Ye's Yin Qi and her Innate Yin Qi as well.
Though he did not intend to use the latter until he figured a certain way to cultivate further as it was too precious to waste on experimenting.
