Chapter 913 Sea Island
Chapter 913 Sea Island
Jin Rou was heading to the other shore with his small boat. Sylvianna was remaining silent as she stared at the vast nothingness. Was there a scenery such perfect as this? The sea was empty, but the serenity was there. The peace everyone looking for was here.

Jin Rou chuckled. He understood what she was talking about but refrained from commenting. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "You look better."
"What do you mean?" Sylvianna asked. Her brows were arching in confusion.
"Who knows?" Jin Rou didn't answer this and said, "We will be reaching the Sea Island, so be prepared."
"It has a name?" She thought that the island had no name or whatsoever as the two didn't mention anything like that.
"Of course. Everything in the world deserves to have a name. Even those which cannot reach by life." Jin Rou smiled, "And Sea Island is one of them."
"And who named it Sea Island?" She asked.
"That, it's a mystery." Jin Rou responded, "Perhaps it's the old man or Kalicio out there since they are the ones who created Mortalis. In any case, Sea Island really exists."
Many thought that there's nothing in the expanse of the sea. Was there a shore on the other side? No one could answer it as no one had returned alive after trying to cross it. Many great powers suffered because of trying this.
But Jin Rou and Kalicio confirmed that the island existed. Of course, thought it was existing, you could already try to enter it. One needed to have at least Han Li's method of surviving the harsh waves and storms of the sea before reaching this place.
Upon closer look, the island looked normal. But the sand here was green. Jin Rou crouched and palmed some sand and observed it for several times. His eyes was smiling as he said, "The age of this island turned the sand shining green."
Sylvianna also scooped a sand and appreciated its beauty, "This is beautiful."
Women liked beautiful and shiny things. So of course, she would love this.
But the bad thing was this place was not a place to live. Even emperors and saints would have difficulties surviving here. After all, the island was desolate and devoid of life. Only the sand looked alive here.
At one look, the Sea Island looked small but once you're on it, it was actually so big that you couldn't imagine it more. Although there were ancient and large trees here, all of them already died due to the passage of time. With the kind of land here, it's no wonder they couldn't survive too.
Jin Rou was using the item Kalicio gave to him. It was determining the direction of where he should go and was following it.
It took him one whole day before reaching the designated place. Judging by the location, they must be in the middle of the island, somewhere on it. There were no dead trees here, just a flat land with numerous cliffs popping out of nowhere.
"We need to get down to one of these cliffs to get your weapon?" Sylvianna asked. The cliffs felt dangerous despite not being afraid of heights.
"Yes. The spear is in one these cliffs." Jin Rou said. The stone couldn't determine the right cliff to climb down but he had a gist of where to descend. Of course, he had to confirm something first.
Jin Rou picked up a stone and threw it to all the cliffs here. At first, nothing happened but when seconds passed, a dangerous howl came from somewhere. It was a howl that could give people chills here.
Sylvianna's hair stood up. The howl was terrifying enough to make her have goosebumps, "Is that the hiding monster which escaped that skeleton?"
"Might be. It's the only one daring beast to actually use the Sea Island to survive. Though it wouldn't be for long now." Jin Rou started to walk over to where the howl came from, "You can stay here and wait for me or you can come with me down there."
Sylvianna rollerd her eyes and said, "I will come down, of course. I want to see how powerful is the monster to survive this dead land."
As soon as they descended, a strong gravity pulled them down. Jin Rou already expected this and prepared some countermeasures against it. Then, their bodies suddenly became lightweight, no longer feeling the gravity.
Then, they successfully landed on the lowest part of this cliff. And saw a figure of a young man in meditating position.
Jin Rou observed the young man and smiled, "No wonder you can survive in this place."
The young man was wearing a necklace familiar to Jin Rou. It was Han Li's treasure in the past which had the ability to contain vitality whenever the user wanted. Moreover, it could also act as a food storage for the user.
But the point was, though this treasure was that amazing, the amount you could store here wouldn't make you survive for so long. What did this young man do, then?
"Using the treasure to eat your dao and transform it to a some sort of food you can take, a survival method in desperate means." Jin Rou said. The young man was gradually weakened because of this.
"Fellow Daoist, are you here to take this one's life?" The young man was calm like the sea right now. Life and death didn't matter to him now, anyway.
"Indeed. I am under a deal of dealing with you here. So, will you give your head voluntarily or I force you to?" Jin Rou smiled.
"Fellow Daoist's words are malicious. Life and death shouldn't be that way. We shall not treat life like a mere toy or whatnot." The young man said, "Furthermore, we shall love ourselves and accept everything."
"Then accept your death." Jin Rou took out his lightning sword and smirked, "How about we do it in one strike?"
