Yin Sha continued with a smile, “And the situation I faced was very dangerous. At that time, it wasn’t just me eyeing the Superior Dao Foundation. There were ten other demon cultivators. To compete for it, they even joined forces to hunt me down. But even so, I still managed to complete my Foundation Establishment during their pursuit. Tell me, am I amazing or what?”
“Amazing, Sister Yin Sha is too amazing. Worthy of being my Sister Yin Sha.”
Bai Sha desperately wanted to give a thumbs-up in praise, but her pectoral fin couldn’t quite manage such a complex gesture. She could only raise her fin high to show her approval.
Inside, however, she was rather speechless.
Ten demon cultivators?
It had clearly been three demon cultivators, and Yin Sha padded it by seven.
But regardless, the fact that Yin Sha could complete her breakthrough and counterattack while being hunted was still a highly commendable feat.
Compared to that, whether the enemies were three or ten, did it really matter? Of course not. If Yin Sha said it was ten, then it was ten.
As they were talking, Bingning and Xiaokui also came up to meet them.
At this moment, Bingning and Xiaokui were incredibly astonished. They had witnessed Yin Sha releasing her Foundation Establishment aura earlier and now had a mountain of questions they wanted to ask.
“Yin Sha, you broke through to Foundation Establishment? What exactly happened?” Xiaokui asked, both surprised and curious.
“It’s a long story. Let me tell you slowly.” Yin Sha launched into her tale with great enthusiasm.
The pursuit by ten demon cultivators featured in her story again. As Yin Sha recounted it, Bingning and Xiaokui were thoroughly shocked. They never imagined Yin Sha would have such a fortuitous encounter.
At this moment, they even felt a twinge of regret. If they had also bravely followed into Lost Island, might they also have found their own opportunities?
While they were feeling regretful, a series of startled exclamations arose from the distance.
“That is…” Xiaokui looked over and said in surprise, “That’s one of Lei Ke’s wings? Now that I think about it, Lei Ke is nowhere to be seen. Did he die inside Lost Island?”
Indeed, Lei Ke had not appeared.
Therefore, the few avian demon cultivators who followed Lei Ke had been searching everywhere, only to find his tattered wing floating on the sea’s surface.
Though only a broken wing, it was more than enough to make everyone understand Lei Ke’s fate.
This caused Bingning and Xiaokui, who had felt a bit of regret, to breathe out again.
Although Yin Sha had gained an opportunity and reached the Early Foundation Establishment stage, a demon cultivator like Lei Ke, who was originally already at the Foundation Establishment level, had died inside. This clearly showed that Lost Island was not a place where one could easily obtain opportunities.
At that moment, Bingning asked, “Do you know why Lost Island disappeared?”
Yin Sha shook her head. “I have no idea about that.”
Bai Sha also shook her head. “I don’t know either.”
“Is that so…”
Bingning was still somewhat curious about the situation on Lost Island and asked a few more questions. Yin Sha was very willing to talk about her experiences.
As they spoke, the sunlight in the sky gradually grew dimmer. A thick cloud approached from afar, steadily obscuring the sun, looking very much like rain was about to fall.
The demon cultivators on the sea’s surface slowly dispersed.
They didn’t know why Lost Island had vanished, but since it was gone, they had no choice but to leave. Staying would accomplish nothing.
Yin Sha had also finished saying everything she wanted to say by now. She glanced at the weather and said, “We should head back too.”
She was missing some of the delicacies stored back in her territory.
Bingning nodded. “Time to go back.”
Xiaokui looked somewhat wistful. “We came here and didn’t get to do anything… How about you, Bai Sha? Did you gain anything?”
Bai Sha shook her head. “I didn’t gain anything.”
After returning to the ocean, Bai Sha and Yin Sha parted ways with Bingning and Xiaokui, heading straight back to White Shark Territory.
As soon as Yin Sha returned to White Shark Territory, she went where she stored her favorite foods and began eating contentedly.
However, the types of delicious food that could be preserved on the seafloor were limited. They were Spiritual Materials and Spiritual Fruits that could be kept underwater. Meat was basically impossible to preserve, but this was still enough to satisfy Yin Sha’s appetite.
Bai Sha, after informing Yin Sha, left.
She needed to make a trip to the Seven-Colored Shell.
Bai Sha had reaped quite a harvest on Lost Island and naturally needed to sell it at the Seven-Colored Shell, then convert it into things suited for her.
Thinking about this trip’s gains, even Bai Sha couldn’t help but feel somewhat excited internally.
“Whoosh…”
Following the current, Bai Sha quickly arrived at the location of the Seven-Colored Shell.
No matter the time, the Seven-Colored Shell was always bustling with activity. But today, it was even noisier. Many demon cultivators were talking amongst themselves, as if something had happened.
This situation gave Bai Sha pause. Soundlessly, she swam inside the Seven-Colored Shell.
“Ah, what exactly happened? Why is it like this?”
“I heard the Teleportation Formation has an issue and needs repairs. They didn’t even say when it would be fixed.”
“I was just about to buy something, but it can’t be teleported over. What kind of situation is this?”
“Doesn’t that mean the Dream Ruins is basically useless during this time?”
“You can’t really say that. It’s just that the vast majority of items can’t be purchased.”
Bai Sha swam around, listening to the other demon cultivators talk. Her expression gradually grew serious.
She more or less understood what had happened.
‘Items bought from the Dream Ruins can’t be teleported over anymore? That seems reasonable enough.’
Bai Sha knew that the Eastern Sea had now been blockaded by the Heavenly Devil Palace. Under such circumstances, it wasn’t strange for spatial teleportation abilities to fail.
But the problem was, now that this issue had arisen, why was the Demon Alliance giving the excuse that they were repairing the Teleportation Array?
Shouldn’t the Demon Alliance already know what the Heavenly Devil Palace was doing? Did the Demon Alliance not intend to respond?
Originally, Bai Sha had assumed the Heavenly Devil Palace’s blockade of the Eastern Sea was a covert operation. After all, they had slaughtered the human sects on land, seizing a large area to cut off information.
But from the current looks of it, the Heavenly Devil Palace couldn’t hide this from the Demon Alliance.
So, what would the Demon Alliance do?
Bai Sha recalled her first and second lives. Before she returned in those lives, the Heavenly Devil Palace had never been able to achieve its goal. Was that thanks to the Demon Alliance’s efforts?
Or had the matter actually been thoroughly resolved by the Demon Alliance, silently and without her notice?
“Perhaps the Heavenly Devil Palace matter isn’t as terrifying as I imagined?”
Bai Sha speculated.
This matter was still relatively distant to her. After thinking it over for a bit, she put the thoughts aside.
She first swam over to the Cultivation Shell. Seeing that the Cultivation Shell was still functional, she breathed a sigh of relief. That meant she could safely sell her gains here.
But come to think of it, if items bought from the Dream Ruins couldn’t be teleported over, could items sold still be sent out?
Well, she’d find out once she tried.
Feeling somewhat expectant, Bai Sha first went into a Rest Shell so that other demon cultivators wouldn’t see her retrieving items. Only then did she call up the Dream Ruins Panel.
