Chapter 379 Someone called me a fairy!
Upon closer inspection, it was the sunlight shining on the water's surface and refracting onto the seabed.
"Come on, we're almost there."
Following the light, Long Jiaoyu took the lead and sprinted forward.
A moment later, they passed through a narrow passage, slowly rose to the surface, and suddenly emerged from the sea.
"Phew—we've finally arrived."
Wow, sunset.
After a two-day, one-night underwater journey, the six people, one turtle, and one fish arrived at Donglin Sea without any incidents.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the sunset was spreading across the sea, the mountain peaks, and the land, draping everything in a golden veil.
Especially at the horizon where the sea and sky meet, the fiery red and blue of the sea blend and gradually change, presenting a mysterious afterglow.
"Uncle Long, do you have the exact location and time when the Dragon Gate appeared?"
Wenwen guessed that she was just trying her luck; if she got it, great, but if not, there was nothing she could do.
"...The exact location is not specified, but the time is midnight."
Long Jiaoyu looked up at the sky, squinted at the sea, and after a few moments of contemplation, said, "In order not to miss the opportune moment, we must keep watch on the sea from now on, lest the opportunity slip away and we regret it."
"Alright, just wait and see. Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
"We came here to wait for it, so let's just wait patiently."
No one objected.
Only the old tortoise hesitated before raising its front paws. After getting Wenwen's permission, the old tortoise pointed to a small island not far away.
"Master, there's an island over there. Why don't we go there to rest for a while?"
Everyone looked in the direction the old turtle was pointing.
In the northwest of the sea, there are several large reefs, next to which is a small island.
From a distance, it seemed that there were cultivators and demonic beasts on the island. Strangely, everyone lived together in harmony, without any fighting or quarreling.
It's important to understand that wherever there are people, there's a social dynamic, and such a harmonious aspect is quite rare.
"Uncle Long, is it appropriate for us to go over there?"
"Being cautious and prudent," Wenwen asked.
"Go if you want to. Right now, everyone's focus is on waiting for Longmen. Unless there's a major grudge, people will usually turn a blind eye. Besides, we're all here for the same purpose. Let's avoid causing trouble so as not to delay the important matter and suffer losses."
Long Jiaoyu is very patient and occasionally shares some common knowledge with everyone.
After all, the friendship they had built over the past two days and one night was not just empty talk. These people had never traveled far from home, and their knowledge of the Immortal Realm was based on theory. Fortunately, they were willing to learn from her and were not ashamed to ask questions, giving Long Jiaoyu plenty of face.
Therefore, although their team appears to be led by their grandmaster, it is actually led by Long Jiaoyu.
After discussing it, the group headed towards the island.
From a distance, the island doesn't look very big. But once you get closer to the shore and get on the island, you realize that it really is quite small.
At this moment, the cultivators and demonic beasts on the island stood on two sides, with the demonic beasts gathering on the east side and the cultivators' territory on the west side.
The number of demonic beasts gathered on the eastern island is at least fifty, if you count them carefully. The highest cultivation level of these demonic beasts is the fifth level of Qi Refining, and most of them are at the fourth level. Most of them are half-human and half-demon sea monsters, so they can leave the sea and go ashore.
The cultivators gathered to the west numbered about thirty, most of them at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
These people came in groups of three or five. Judging from the appearance, some came as families, while others came alone. In short, everyone did their own thing. Familiar people were in groups, while those who were not familiar with each other kept their distance. No one was too distant, and no one was too enthusiastic.
However, one family stood out in the crowd at first glance.
The family consisted of a middle-aged man with two sons and a daughter. The middle-aged man was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while the other three were at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
The reason they stood out was because the middle-aged man had the highest cultivation level on the island, so everyone looked up to him and treated them with great respect.
However, this balance was broken after Wenwen and her group set foot on the island.
Long Jiaoyu's cultivation level is Qi Refining Level 7, the old turtle's is Qi Refining Level 6, and the others are all Qi Refining Level 4, and some are at Level 3. Of course, Wenwen and Wen Qiyuan suppressed their cultivation levels. When they go out, it's best to keep a low profile and not reveal their trump cards.
The six people, one turtle, and one fish went ashore and automatically walked to the western cultivators' territory to find a place to rest.
As a demon beast, it should logically belong to the demon beast gathering place. However, Long Jiaoyu didn't care about such rules. After Wenwen and the others laid out the mats, it found a good spot and lay down.
Such a carefree attitude was tolerated by everyone, including the master and Wenwen. No one minded the fish's laziness.
The master casually covered the dragon fish with a layer of clothing, removed it from the seawater, worried that it would catch a cold.
However, this scene greatly surprised the cultivators and demon beasts watching nearby, and they couldn't quite understand it.
You're saying that a Qi Refining Level 7 demon beast is willing to follow a group of Qi Refining Level 4 guys? That's a bit unreasonable. With such a big difference in cultivation, the demon beast could easily take down a cultivator with one hand. Why would it be bound and restricted?
However, judging from the way those cultivators treated Long Jiaoyu and the old turtle, as if they were family, it seemed to make sense.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Long Jiaoyu was the leader of this group.
However, no demon beast has ever been seen to lead cultivators, so it can only be these few people leading the demon beasts. These people must have extraordinary abilities, otherwise how could they command two demon beasts whose cultivation levels are several levels higher than theirs to serve them?
Yes, that should be it.
Many people have this idea, but some are indifferent, some are bystanders, and some want to get close to the person and learn from their experience.
The three children of the middle-aged family were among the few people who wanted to get close to them.
That's nothing. Daring to speak your mind is what it means to live life with clarity!
Therefore, when a sweet voice rang in Wenwen's ears, Wenwen greatly admired the girl in pink.
"May I ask you something, fairy?"
A fairy?!
Some people call themselves fairies!
Since she began cultivating immortality, this was the first person to call her "Fairy," and also the first cultivator she had encountered in this world besides her own family.
A strange feeling welled up in Wenwen's heart, and she greeted the girl very warmly.
With a smile, her eyes crinkled, she asked, "What would you like to know, fairy?"
"I just wanted to ask about your family's demonic beasts. I wonder if it's convenient for you to ask?"
Wenwen's eyes darted around, and she thought, "This fairy wants to ask the demon beast, so I can't do a losing deal. I'll ask something else too. Anyway, it's a give-and-take situation, one is willing to give and the other is willing to receive, so neither of us can blame the other or cheat the other."
"It's convenient, but it's a long story. If you don't mind, fairy, please sit down and we can talk about it slowly."
“Alright.” The girl in pink readily agreed and sat down.
The middle-aged man, who was watching the commotion from a few steps away, would occasionally turn his head to look at Wenwen.
Time passed slowly, and then it got dark; the stars and moon came out.
The two girls looked at the stars and the moon, chatting about everything from monsters to gossip. The more they talked, the more they clicked and the more excited they became. They talked so much that their spittle flew everywhere and their mouths went dry.
In the middle of the night, the middle-aged man came over and started chatting with the Wen family members, and the grandmaster also joined the group.
Just as the group was chatting happily, the bright moon in the night sky gradually grew larger, and its halo shone on the entire sea surface. Suddenly, a door gradually appeared in the sky above the sea.
"Look, Longmen!"
