Chapter 1183: Border's Three Seas

The cauldron-filling state cultivator flew a hundred meters before stopping. The girl and the watching cauldron-filling state level three cultivator were shocked. They never expected a cauldron-filling state level two cultivator to be defeated by a body condensation state level six cultivator in a single strike. Seeing Ye Mo prepare for another attack, the cauldron-filling state level three cultivator quickly deployed his magic artifact to intercept him.

Ye Mo rejoiced; this was precisely his intention. He knew that even if he injured the cauldron-filling state level two cultivator, he couldn't kill him. His goal was to lure the cauldron-filling state level three cultivator away from the flying chariot. Therefore, when the cultivator tried to stop him, Ye Mo veered towards the chariot.

The two cultivators, realizing Ye Mo's plan, were terrified. Their mistress wouldn't survive even a single counterattack.

"Don't kill her!" the cauldron-filling state level three cultivator urgently pleaded. Their own deaths were inconsequential compared to the consequences their families would face if their mistress perished.

The wavy-haired girl, seeing Ye Mo approach, was petrified. A purple ray flashed before her eyes. Am I going to die? was her sole thought.

Ye Mo was not reckless enough to kill the girl. Her obvious high social standing meant killing her would create significant trouble. Being hunted in the Heartless Sea would be impossible to escape. He only wanted to destroy their flying chariot, rendering them incapable of pursuit.

Ye Mo's attack on the flying magic artifact resulted in a massive explosion. Without pausing to assess the damage, he retreated into Blue Moon, transforming into a blue ray and disappearing.

The flying cultivation artifact sustained a crack, hindering pursuit but not rendering it completely useless.

"Argh!" the girl screamed after Blue Moon vanished. "That bastard ruined my flying chariot! I'll kill him!"

The cauldron-filling state cultivators exchanged shocked glances. They were relieved their mistress hadn't been targeted. They were also astounded by Ye Mo's power; if only one of them had been present, Ye Mo might not have fled.

How could a body condensation state cultivator be so powerful? It seemed absurd.

"Did he conceal his strength?" the cauldron-filling state level three cultivator asked.

After a moment of silence, the cauldron-filling state level two cultivator shook his head. "Impossible. I felt the strike; it was pure body condensation state cultivation essence. I still don't understand how a body condensation state cultivator could be this strong."

"Daa Wu, Er Wu, let's pursue him! I won't let that bastard escape! I'm going to kill him and take his cauldron, his flying magic artifact… and that kitchen knife!" the young girl shrieked.

The cauldron-filling state level three cultivator said, "Mistress, he intentionally damaged our flying magic artifact, and even if he hadn't, we can only keep pace, not pursue him. Now, it's even more impossible."

"He ruined my magic artifact! I won't let him get away! Go back immediately, and have my father issue a Hunt Order. I don't believe he can escape our Tong Hai Cult's reach!" the mistress gritted her teeth. She had seemingly forgotten, or perhaps subconsciously believed herself untouchable.

After escaping tens of thousands of kilometers, Ye Mo finally relaxed. Luckily, he'd destroyed their flying magic artifact; engaging those two cauldron-filling state cultivators would have been fruitless.

Ye Mo no longer dared to cultivate in the Golden Page World. He controlled Blue Moon northward, utilizing time-based cultivation techniques.

A month later, Ye Mo reached body condensation state level seven. His power had increased substantially. More importantly, he felt a deeper understanding of spatial control and a newfound knowledge of domains.

While cultivating on Blue Moon, Ye Mo's spirit sense detected three nascent soul state cultivators chasing a level six spirit beast.

Thinking his spirit sense was flawed, he checked again. It was true; in the depths of the Heartless Sea, nascent soul state cultivators were hunting a spirit beast?

Ye Mo stowed Blue Moon and dashed towards the level six sea lion, swiftly incapacitating it. The three nascent soul state cultivators arrived, horrified by Ye Mo's actions.

Clearly, Ye Mo's power far surpassed theirs. The nascent soul state cultivators promptly bowed. "We greet qian bei!"

Ye Mo nodded. "This is the supposed depth of the Heartless Sea. How can you openly hunt spirit beasts? With your cultivation, aren't you in danger?"

The three cultivators immediately understood his meaning and asked respectfully, "Qian bei recently arrived in the Heartless Sea, is that correct?"

Ye Mo nodded. "Yes. What's wrong?"

The nascent soul state cultivator explained, "Qian bei may not know, despite this place's distance from Mo Hai City in South Peace State, this isn't the Heartless Sea's depths. This is still the border. Reaching the deep sea requires even top-grade cultivation artifacts and takes two to three years. We are Sea Cultivator Alliance cultivators, and this is part of our territory."

Ye Mo was speechless. He'd spent four months in the Heartless Sea, believing himself to be in the deep sea, only to discover he was still at the border. A thought suddenly struck him – how did those cauldron-filling state cultivators know he was passing through the Heartless Sea?

Ye Mo inquired, "Where is the Sea Cultivator Alliance? Are there many cultivators living on the islands here?"

The nascent soul state cultivator replied, "Qian bei, many cultivators live here because this isn't the deep sea. Three major powers dominate this region: the Three Seas."

"Tell me about them," Ye Mo said casually.

The cultivator responded, "The foremost power is the Tong Hai Cult; their leader, Yong Laiyi, is rumored to be at the truth realization state peak stage. Second is our Sea Cultivator Alliance; our leader, Wang Cang, is at the truth realization state tertiary stage, and we have two truth realization state vice leaders. Third is the Cang Hai Palace; their three kings are also truth realization state cultivators."

"Then why don't you reside in South Peace State?" Ye Mo asked.

The cultivator bowed. "Qian bei, most of us originated from South Peace State, but resources are scarce and expensive there. With our talent, finding a good sect is difficult, and even then, resources are limited. But the Heartless Sea is different. It's dangerous, but the rewards are high. With diligent resource gathering, we can exchange them for cultivation pills."

Ye Mo understood; with hard work, one could reach the pinnacle of cultivation in the Heartless Sea due to its abundant resources.

"That's right," Ye Mo subconsciously agreed.

"Yes, qian bei, but the drawback is the frequent beast tides. The Three Seas usually cooperate to repel them."

Ye Mo ceased his questioning and asked, "Do you have a map of the Heartless Sea?"

The cultivator, momentarily stunned, quickly replied, "Heartless Sea maps are extremely valuable; we don't possess one, but qian bei can try your luck on Ling Island. It's Sea Cultivator Alliance territory, about 300,000 kilometers from here. If qian bei wishes to go, we have a map here."

He presented Ye Mo with a jade slip.

Ye Mo expressed his gratitude and gifted a few Soul Essence pills before departing.

"This qian bei is so young and wealthy! He casually gave away Soul Essence pills!" the cultivators exclaimed.
