Chapter 1291: Six Supreme Realm Experts
"Not bad, you actually broke through to the early-stage Void-breaking Realm." Qin Hao nodded slightly. In the future, they have great hopes of breaking through to the Supreme Realm.
By then, having four Supreme Realm magical beasts pulling the carriage would be incredibly impressive.
"Let's go!"
Qin Hao and Bai Lingjia got on the carriage, and the four Unihorn Pegasus Beasts flapped their wings, their speed like lightning, disappearing from the scene.
Inside the carriage, Bai Lingjia looked at Qin Hao without speaking, her beautiful eyes just staring at him.
Seeing her expression, Qin Hao laughed and said, "Miss Bai, why are you staring at me like that? Could it be that you've really fallen for me? Have you discovered that I'm utterly perfect, exuding charm from head to toe?"
"You're the thickest-skinned person I've ever met; there's no one else like you." Bai Lingjia said speechlessly.
Qin Hao shook his head: "Miss Bai, you're wrong. It's not thick skin, it's candor and straightforwardness. Everyone else is just a hypocrite beneath their gentlemanly attire."
After saying this, he sat down next to Bai Lingjia: "Miss Bai, take a closer look, aren't I getting more charming the more you look?"
...
Bai Lingjia's face was plain: "Should I call you Mr. Qin or Haotian now?"
Qin Hao: "Just call me Haotian, I prefer that title. Miss Bai, don't worry, those four weren't summoned by me, and I won't do anything like killing and robbing. You've told me about the Butian Sect's information, so I'll definitely help you get the treasure."
Bai Lingjia nodded slightly: "I, too, think Haotian is not the kind of person who breaks promises. We still have to fly for a while before we reach that island I mentioned."
Over the vast sea, the four Unihorn Pegasus Beasts pulled the carriage quickly through the sky, like a streak of white light swiftly traversing the sky.
Seven days later, Qin Hao and the others had ventured deep into the East Sea, and their carriage was still flying in the air.
At this moment, there was a dull roar from the sea below, and then a sea monster tens of meters long leapt from the water, its dual fins spreading like transparent wings, its bloody mouth wide open, intent on swallowing the entire carriage.
The Unihorn Pegasus Beasts were very agile, instantly dodging the sea monster's attack.
Qin Hao and Bai Lingjia flew out of the carriage, and their eyes beheld a colossal sea monster, somewhat resembling a whale from Earth, but with sharp teeth, gleaming coldly, capable of crushing rocks and metals.
The sea monster, having missed its attack, dived back into the sea.
The strength of this sea monster was about mid-stage of the Void-breaking Realm. Although the four Unihorn Pegasus Beasts were at the early stage of the Void-breaking Realm, fighting underwater would greatly reduce their combat power, making them insignificant to this sea monster.
Bai Lingjia did not want to engage in an underwater battle with that sea monster, because if they couldn't finish the battle swiftly, a large number of sea monsters would be attracted, and they would likely face great danger.
Qin Hao put away the carriage, letting them stay in the system space to cultivate.
Recently, Qin Hao had exchanged for two drops of essence blood, which he gave to the Azure Luan Relic Beast and the Firebird to consume. Now, these two birds were in seclusion, cultivating and evolving.
Bai Lingjia said to Qin Hao, "We're almost there, let's fly over."
Qin Hao nodded: "Alright, let's go."
Led by Bai Lingjia, the two of them flew rapidly towards the depths of the East Sea.
Along the way, they were attacked by several magical beasts, some from the deep sea and others from the sky, but they quickly dodged them without much trouble.
That morning, Bai Lingjia's speed slowed down, and she said to Qin Hao, "Ahead, there will be mist. We need to stay close. This mist is strangely dangerous; if we're not careful, we might get lost inside and end up dead."
Sure enough, after flying for a while, Qin Hao saw mist appearing over the sea ahead, connecting the sky and sea like a wall. To pass through, they would have to fly through the mist.
Bai Lingjia stopped before the mist: "This mist will cut off Divine Sense. We should hold hands and enter, but make sure not to fly too low or too high. There are sea monsters and fierce birds in the mist, unaffected by it, but for us cultivators, it's like a sky barrier."
With that, she extended her slender jade hand. Qin Hao glanced at her, then grabbed her hand as they ventured into the pervasive mist.
In the mist, their speed was slow. Qin Hao's visibility was less than ten meters, and his Divine Sense couldn't extend beyond that.
Qin Hao spoke up: "How long is this mist?"
Bai Lingjia shook her head: "I don't know. No one knows how long the mist is. The unnamed island we're heading to isn't far. If it were too far, I wouldn't dare to venture in, as we might get lost and end up dead here."
Just then, the mist below began to churn. Qin Hao reacted swiftly, summoning the War God spear, sweeping it down in a blaze.
Following a roar, blood spurted out, but Qin Hao and Bai Lingjia did not linger in battle, continuing to fly inward after injuring the sea monster.
Their speed increased, and holding hands meant they didn't worry about getting separated.
"There will also be an Illusion Array ahead. If we don't hold hands, we might get separated and end up fighting each other." Bai Lingjia reminded him.
Qin Hao flew for about half an hour, arriving at the green pasture Bai Lingjia mentioned, the scene before him changing, no evil figures around. If he didn't know he was holding Bai Lingjia's hand, he might have truly been ensnared by this illusion.
Ten minutes later, the scene before Qin Hao changed again, with the mist reappearing, the illusion disappearing.
Bai Lingjia sometimes flew left, sometimes forward, following a complex route.
Finally, after more than twenty minutes, Qin Hao saw the unnamed island. Neither too big nor too small, the mist had not encroached upon it, acting like a protective shield around it.
Bai Lingjia and Qin Hao landed on the island, which was eerily silent.
"Something isn't right." Bai Lingjia's face suddenly turned grave.
Qin Hao also sensed something was amiss; the place was exceptionally quiet, the very air seemed strange.
Above the island, six figures appeared, along with lights as a spatial sealing array rose, sealing the entire island.
Upon seeing this, Bai Lingjia was terrified. How could this be? How did the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion know about this place?
What exactly was going on?
Qin Hao colluding with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion? That possibility was remote.
Could it be that something on my body is detectable, allowing the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to pinpoint our location?
"Miss Bai, we meet again." One of them looked at Bai Lingjia and said calmly.
This was the same person who besieged them on the Desolate Plain a few days ago. Back then, there were three First-Order Supreme Realm experts, now there were six.
