Chapter 588 - 588 Traveling to the Northern region
This time, it wasn't just Shun Long, but Liu Mei, Bai Longtian, and the rest who were surprised upon hearing that the Holy sect was also located at the north of the central region.
'If a middle rank 6 magic beast needed a whole month to get to the Northern region from the north of the central region, then how long would it need to reach the eastern region or even the south?'
This thought appeared in everyone's minds, but Shun Long still nodded his head as thanks to the yellow-robed young woman, before he was the first one to jump on the 'Arctic blue bird's' back.
The bird itself was enormous and was even bigger than Liu Mei's 'Death Eater', with a height that exceeded 40 meters(131ft).
It could easily carry a dozen people on its back without it feeling cramped at all.
Once Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, all climbed on the bird's back, Shun Long patted the bird's back lightly with his right hand, causing it to start flapping its wings in response.
In just a few moments, Shun Long could see the Holy sect's palace getting smaller and smaller in his eyes, as the 'Arctic blue bird' flew towards the north at full speed.
...
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye, as Shun Long who was still sitting with his eyes closed, trying to deepen his insights in his Dao of Time during the past month, finally opened them and saw that they were now flying above a city that was even bigger than the Holy city itself.
In the past half a month that they spent on the 'Arctic blue bird's' back, Shun Long and the rest had already seen 2 more cities that were even bigger than the Holy city as well, and this city right below them was now the third.
Although they didn't know the city's name or which power it belonged to, Shun Long and the rest knew that they had already left the Holy sect's territory long ago.
''Brother Jiang, your father is from the central region, right? Do you know where we are then?'' Bai Longtian asked with a look in his eyes that didn't hide his curiosity.
Although he wasn't present when Jiang Chen had narrated his story the first time in Shun Long's room, he still found out about it later on. After all, since they were planning to stay together for a long time, they wouldn't act as strangers.
''Although my father was a member of the Jiang family from the central region, that was a thing in the past. He has already severed all ties with them after they said they would expel him from the family so they wouldn't have to face the Yu family's fury!''
Bai Longtian nodded his head and cupped his hands at Jiang Chen without asking anything else.
Although the 2 of them seemed to be competing fairly often with each other, Bai Longtian still looked at everyone in their faction, whether that was Shun Long, Jiang Chen, Liu Mei, or Xie Xingyi, as both a rival and a friend, and thus, he felt extremely sorry after hearing about Jiang Chen's paternal family expelling Jiang Chen and his father.
He had hoped that Jiang Chen would know some more things about the central region since his father's family came from this place, but clearly, that wasn't the case.
After staring at the huge city below them for a few moments, everyone turned their eyes towards the distance ahead of them, at the enormous sea that appeared past the large city below them that didn't seem to have an end.
''Long-ge, is this the continental sea?'' Liu Mei asked before she turned her gaze towards Shun Long who nodded his head in response.
''Most likely. We have already spent 15 days traveling, so we must be at the northern-most part of the central region already.''
Shun Long and the rest weren't surprised when they saw the vast sea in front of them that seemed to have no end, and instead, serious looks had appeared in their eyes.
Although they didn't know anything about the powers in the central region, they all knew about the name of the sea that surrounded the central region from all sides, making it look like an enormous island that covered the vast majority of the cultivation world.
They knew that the 'continental sea' separated every single continent from each other, and it also separated those continents from the central region. Thus, if one wanted to get to another continent from the central region, they had to cross the continental sea first!
Unlike the central region or the continents that surrounded it, it was said that the continental sea was inhabited purely by magic beasts, and its vast majority was still unexplored.
Although there were rumors of some extremely rare and unique treasures being found by some lucky adventurers inside the sea, rumor had it that even some of the strongest experts would be careful upon stepping foot in the continental sea, since extremely rare and dangerous magic beasts were said to be lurking inside.
Of course, this only applied to those people who were reckless enough to explore the sea itself and look for its treasures!
If it was someone who simply wished to cross past the sea and reach another continent, the danger usually wouldn't be too high, unless they were attacked by a powerful magic beast beyond their capabilities.
As for Shun Long and his group, unless they were unlucky enough to be targeted by an extremely powerful middle rank 6 or an actual peak rank 6 magic beast, they would be completely safe.
After all, the 'Arctic blue bird' was strong and fast enough to defend against most predators at the middle of rank 6.
This was also why Shun Long had accepted it as his ride without a second thought.
..
In the blink of an eye, 15 more days had passed, as Shun Long saw 5 gigantic continents slowly appearing in the distance ahead.
