Chapter 2424: Chapter 2427: The Floating Sea: Cultivation Route and Demon Sea Domain

"Let me remind you, Ling Xiao, the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison is different from the other four levels. Once inside, don’t wander around. Follow the map I gave you; otherwise, it’s easy to get lost."

They had already reached the entrance of the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison.

The teleportation gate, formed by condensed energy, flickered with a strange light, resembling a fierce beast eagerly waiting to swallow something.

"Go on in, I have already informed the guards inside. After you enter, they will arrange your itinerary, so let’s part ways here."

Heiye Wuguang glanced at Ling Xiao and sighed helplessly.

Such a genius, and yet he couldn’t take him as a foster son—a bit frustrating for him.

Ling Xiao, unaware of his thoughts, jumped directly into the teleportation gate.

Unlike the First and Second Layers of the Ghost Prison, stepping into the Fifth Layer didn’t lead Ling Xiao directly into the prison itself, but into a solemn and majestic hall.

The hall was filled with guards.

Each guard’s strength was at the pinnacle of the Fourth Layer of Hell Cultivation or higher.

Truly worthy of the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison, even the guards were so powerful. It was indeed not a place for the Disciples of Lower Eight Immortals Mountain.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao, one of them approached.

This person seemed around twenty years old, yet his cultivation level had reached the early stage of the Fifth Layer of Hell, although not a Reincarnation Warrior, his strength was indeed formidable.

"Are you Ling Xiao?"

The newcomer asked.

"I am,"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Heh, indeed, your aura is different. I heard you beat up that kid An Feitian, well done, that brat was too cocky.

By the way, I’m Heiye Changfeng, one of the guard leaders here. Lord Wuguang and Lord Wuxing told me about you, you’ve done well."

The man said with a smile.

It seemed he was also from the Dark Clan, no wonder he treated Ling Xiao well.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Changfeng!"

Ling Xiao greeted once more.

"No need to be so formal. I’ll take you to the training grounds next, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. If I know the answer, I’ll tell you for sure."

Heiye Changfeng said with a cheerful smile.

His open personality made him easy to approach.

"Also, if you want to leave the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison, you can come to me, and I’ll help you get out."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded. It seemed some issues didn’t require his worry; someone had already arranged things for him. The two things he needed to focus on were:

First, cultivation!

The Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison is said to be different from the four levels below; the spiritual energy here is a hundred times that of the outside world!

But because the density is too high, ordinary martial artists would be crushed, even losing their lives.

Therefore, not just anyone could come here to cultivate.

Also, excessive spiritual energy could overwhelm the body, like overnutrition causing problems.

So those who enter the Fifth Level have strict requirements.

However, Ling Xiao was naturally unafraid of these things; his body was stronger than any guard here.

His other important task was finding Ling Yan to clarify some situations so that when he rescues, he wouldn’t blindly search like a headless fly.

"Well, if there are no other questions, I’ll take you on your way."

Heiye Changfeng said, "Later, when you see the true Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison, don’t be surprised."

He laughed, then led Ling Xiao forward.

They exited the hall and walked about five or six hundred meters before Ling Xiao showed a shocked expression.

In front of him was a vast sea suspended in mid-air!

The sea roared continuously, with islands scattered on the surface.

There were even a few ships sailing on it.

"Is this the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison?"

Ling Xiao was indeed astonished.

Though he knew this was a world within a magical treasure, usually it’s all land. This boundless ocean, first time seeing it.

"Astonishing, isn’t it? This place is like a whole different world. Truly can’t imagine how the martial artist with this magical treasure cultivated."

Heiye Changfeng sighed, "Today’s Mysterious World is far from what it used to be.

In the past, Reincarnation Warriors were everywhere; seeing a ten-turn warrior was easy.

But now, it’s truly not the same.

Fortunately, the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s reappearance brought another tremendous change to the Mysterious World. I can clearly feel the martial artists of Xuanwu Continent are awakening."

Even Ling Xiao shared his sentiments.

The one who owned this magical treasure must have been a terrifyingly powerful martial artist.

"Alright, let’s not dwell on this. Lord Wuguang gave you a map, right?"

Heiye Changfeng asked.

"Yes!"

Ling Xiao took out the map.

"Good, with the map, you’re set. See, this route is the place you need to go. It’s called the Cultivation Route, also known as the Paradise for Cultivators.

The route has countless islands, and every island can be used for cultivation, each with different effects.

While there are plenty of dangers, it’s much safer than the ’Demon Sea Domain.’

The Demon Sea Domain lies at the end of this route; don’t go there. It imprisons a bunch of mad prisoners, each extremely powerful.

They were exiled there to fend for themselves."

Heiye Changfeng explained the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison seriously to Ling Xiao.

He clearly didn’t want Ling Xiao to go to the Demon Sea Domain, but the more he said that, the more Ling Xiao wanted to go.

The saying ’curiosity killed the cat’ applies here.

Even knowing the dangers, he still had to go, thinking, what about Ling Yan?

That was his true reason for entering the Fifth Level of the Ghost Prison.

At this moment, Heiye Changfeng released a boat from his Storage Ring.

Calling it a boat was a stretch; it was more like a canoe.

Very narrow; it might work in a small river, but on this sea, it would quickly capsize.

"Ling Xiao, large ships can’t enter the cultivation route, only canoes or skiffs can.

So think carefully, this is extremely dangerous. You’ll face huge waves and sea beasts.

We still don’t understand if this sea is a real ocean, or what happens if you fall in.

Some who fell never returned, alive or in another place unknown.

If you want to be a guinea pig, you can try, but I don’t recommend it."

Heiye Changfeng laughed, already on one of the canoes. With energy from his feet, it swiftly propelled forward.

Ling Xiao chuckled and jumped on as well; to him, it wasn’t difficult.

Stepping onto the canoe, he suddenly sensed the ocean’s uniqueness.

It was unlike the outside ocean, almost as if it was a living entity.
