C1632 Watching the tide
From this, it could be seen just how attractive the Sea of Life and Death's once-a-decade high tide was.
On this day, all the people in the Nine Prefectures City gathered in the region at the edge of Sea of Life and Death, and looked towards the Endless Sea in front of them.
A majestic atmosphere assaulted them, and they actually felt an intense pressure, as if they weren't facing a sea, but a ferocious and cruel prehistoric beast that was roaring at them in fury.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
The biting cold sea breeze carried traces of wetness as it lashed out against the crowd, causing many to feel a chill all over their body. Some of the weaker cultivators paled even more as they subconsciously retreated, not daring to face the wind directly.
Qin Xuan and old man Tianji were also in the crowd.
They were not standing too far ahead, but Qin Xuan could feel the pressure brought by the Sea of Life and Death as well.
However, this dao was not ordinary. Moreover, it was integrated into the natural scenery, making it extremely difficult to attract people's attention. Naturally, they would not pay too much attention to it.
"Senior, when should we set off?" Qin Xuan asked the old man Tianji through sound transmission.
"There's no hurry. We can leave when the tide is completely out." old man Tianji looked at the vast ocean in front of him and said with a calm tone.
The corner of Qin Xuan's mouth twitched, he felt that it was really difficult.
He was merely in the Emperor realm, but he had to comprehend the Great Way of the Buddha in a place that made countless people feel fear.
The old man Tianji was really 'taking care of' him!
"Are you afraid?" The old man Tianji seemed to have noticed something as he turned and smiled at Qin Xuan, "I thought that Nine Domains List's Number One should have been fearless and brought you here to comprehend the Dao. If you retreat, there's no harm in waiting for the tide to recede before we leave."
Seeing the smile on old man Tianji's face, Qin Xuan laughed too.
Although he did not buy it, but since the old man Tianji had already said so, he was willing to be provoked once.
"Senior, you can just inform me when you're ready. I'll be fine with that." Qin Xuan looked in front of him and uttered with an incomparably calm voice.
"…" old man Tianji's gaze instantly froze as he turned to look at Qin Xuan. This brat, he's really crazy!
However, what he admired the most was Qin Xuan's talent and his unparalleled arrogance.
Qin Xuan's arrogance was different from Bai Zifeng's arrogance.
Bai Zifeng's pride came from the Cloud Sky Immortal Mansion behind him. A strong background allowed him to be arrogant enough, allowing him to do whatever he wanted in the Nine Regions.
And Qin Xuan's arrogance, came from him.
He believed that even if he did not have any backing, Qin Xuan would still be able to rise to prominence outside the Nine Regions.
And at this time, in the direction of the vast crowd, four figures appeared. They were three middle-aged men and one white-clothed youth.
The auras of the three middle-aged men were deep and unfathomable. They surrounded white-clothed youth as though protecting the young man. From this, it could be seen that the young man's status was not low at all.
If Qin Xuan saw this youth, he would definitely be moved.
This young man was Mo Lishang!
He had originally wanted to cross the ocean and leave immediately, but he had coincidentally encountered Sea of Life and Death's once-in-a-decade high tide, so he naturally wasn't willing to miss this golden age. Thus, he stayed in the Nine Regions City for a few more days, hoping to see the high tide before leaving.
"Son, the tide is about to come. When that happens, you will be able to see the real Sea of Life and Death roaring." Beside Mo Lishang, a middle aged man wearing an ink-brown robe laughed and said.
Zhou You was an elder of the Ice God's Palace, and his cultivation was at the early stage of the second stage of Saint Stage.
The other two were also important figures, but their strength was still inferior to Zhou You. They were both First Order Saints.
This time, the three of them would be sent out by the Ice master to protect Mo Lishang and also follow him to the Sea of Life and Death.
Amongst the three Saints, only Zhou You had personally witnessed the world shocking scene when the Sea of Life and Death was in tides. Moreover, he had also passed through the Sea of Life and Death.
"Elder Zhou, is the Sea of Life and Death really as terrifying as what the rumors say?" Mo Lishang curiously looked at Zhou You and asked.
"Naturally, the rumors are true. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who would believe it." Zhou You laughed: "The fact that you can't cross the Sea of Life and Death is enough to see how dangerous it is for Sea of Life and Death. When I was crossing the Sea of Life and Death before, I already stepped into the first level of Saint Stage, but that time I suddenly encountered a tsunami and was almost submerged. That scene is something I can't forget until now."
As Zhou You mentioned this, his expression became more solemn, as if he were recalling that scene once more.
Saint Stage only had the qualification to cross Sea of Life and Death s, if an unexpected situation were to occur, it was extremely likely for them to die within.
Looking at the expression on Zhou You's face, Mo Lishang's heart trembled. When he looked at the Sea of Life and Death again, his gaze contained a hint of reverence.
Even the most powerful of Saints was almost killed by him. This sea was truly a sight to behold.
As time passed, the wind and clouds above the Sea of Life and Death gradually changed, and the air was filled with the unceasing sounds of wild wind roaring. The sky seemed to have darkened a lot, dark clouds covered densely, and thunder rumbled, as if it was before the arrival of the apocalypse.
"The tide is coming!" It was unknown who shouted from the crowd.
The moment the voice was heard, the entire room became extremely quiet. Everyone's breathing became tense as they stared at the scene in front of them, unwilling to miss a single detail.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a thunderous sound rang out, akin to a thunderclap from the highest heavens, shaking the skies and causing the eardrums of many to vibrate incessantly, as though they were about to be torn apart.
However, the voice did not come from the sky, but instead came from the Sea of Life and Death.
The Sea of Life and Death was as far as the eye could see and it was impossible to see the end of it. They could only see that on the surface of the sea, there were layers upon layers of huge waves rolling and turning into the shape of gigantic beasts. They let out deafening roars, causing the people on the shore to be unable to help their hearts from trembling.
At this moment, many people could not help but wonder what kind of sensation the tide would have in the future. When the tide had arrived, what kind of sensation would that be?
It was hard to imagine.
However, they were here to spectate the tide, so they naturally hoped that the more spectacular the event was, the better it would be. In that case, they wouldn't have to travel tens of thousands of miles in vain to arrive at the Nine Continents City.
The scene on the sea surface became more and more terrifying. The rolling waves actually rose up from the sea surface, like a gigantic beast charging up into the sky, as if it would destroy this entire world!
