This was something Bai Sha had already done once in her previous life and could be considered a practiced routine.
During this process, Bai Sha finally discovered Yin Sha’s situation.
It seemed Yin Sha had already experienced the events of obtaining the Profound Mechanism Stone, being hunted down, breaking through to Foundation Establishment during the battle, and turning the tables on her enemy. She was now cultivating the Raging Waves Art in a corner of the Coconut Grove, stabilizing her aura at the Foundation Establishment (Early) level.
Seeing this, Bai Sha let out a breath of relief.
Thankfully, her delay hadn’t changed anything. With Yin Sha’s talent, it likely wouldn’t be long before she could continue advancing by leaps and bounds.
Bai Sha paid no further attention to Yin Sha.
After driving the numerous demon cultivators back to the Beach Maze Array, Bai Sha also flew out of the Hall and began collecting the numerous Formation Materials located across the island.
All these formation materials held considerable value. Selling them in the Dream Ruins would allow her to do many things.
‘Shizun, once my strength improves enough, I will help you recover.’
Bai Sha thought to herself as she collected the materials.
She couldn’t just take another sect’s materials to strengthen herself without giving something back.
This time, the Moon Spirit Pearl Bai Sha carried was much larger than the Blue Spirit Pearl from her previous life. Consequently, she succeeded in dismantling and collecting all the formation materials on Lost Island, save for those composing the Beach Maze Array.
She left the Beach Maze Array untouched. Just like in her previous life, she caused Lost Island to enter a hidden state.
As Lost Island vanished into hiding, the massive island disappeared from its position on the spot. A huge, sunken depression was left on the sea surface below.
In just a brief moment, vast quantities of seawater naturally converged toward the hollow created by the island’s disappearance. The roaring sound of water echoed through heaven and earth. Surging currents, turbulent and terrifying, collided at the center where they converged from all four directions. With a mighty crash, they erupted into a towering column of water that shot straight into the sky, blasting a hole through a white cloud in the firmament, before scattering down like rain.
This spectacle caused many demon cultivators to cry out in alarm, even those who hadn’t entered Lost Island. After all, when the seawater flowed with such violent haste, they too were inevitably swept up in the aftermath.
For a time, raging waves sprawled across the vast sea surface, and towering breakers curled toward the sky.
Bai Sha blended into the chaos, silent and unnoticed.
It took a good while before the turbulent seawater calmed down somewhat.
Then, one after another, demon cultivators emerged from the sea surface, looking at their surroundings with lingering shock and fear, thoroughly spooked by the experience.
Bai Sha also broke the surface at this time.
‘I wonder when I’ll return to Lost Island again… Hmm, honestly, I don’t even know if I will come back to Lost Island in this life.’
Bai Sha thought to herself silently.
Then, she began searching for Yin Sha’s figure.
Since all the demon cultivators were returning to the surface, Bai Sha quickly found Yin Sha and swam over.
Bingning and Xiaokui emerged as well, and they all gathered together.
Once they were assembled, Bai Sha swept her gaze around and looked at the other Foundation Establishment demon cultivator present, the Star River Tortoise. He, however, didn’t look her way.
In the previous life, because the Profound Mechanism Tortoise had fainted, the Star River Tortoise had chosen Bai Sha and Yin Sha to interrogate about the situation inside Lost Island, his attitude highly unfriendly. But after Yin Sha revealed her Foundation Establishment aura, he had retreated.
In this life, the Profound Mechanism Tortoise had fainted once more, but the Star River Tortoise chose other demon cultivators to question about Lost Island, clearly because of Bai Sha’s presence.
Bai Sha paid no mind to the Star River Tortoise. Retracting her gaze, she began chatting with Yin Sha and the others.
“I really wonder what exactly happened inside Lost Island for it to just suddenly vanish.”
“Did you encounter any lucky chances inside?”
“What was it like in there?”
Bingning and Xiaokui, having not entered Lost Island, were intensely curious about the events that had transpired.
To these questions, Yin Sha replied with great enthusiasm, “I don’t know why Lost Island disappeared, but I found my own fortune! Look, I’ve already broken through to Foundation Establishment (Early). I’m a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator now!”
At the mention of becoming a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, Yin Sha was overjoyed, practically wanting to dance for joy.
Reaching Foundation Establishment without a Dao Foundation had been a constant worry for her recently. Now that this long-troubling problem was finally resolved, she was naturally ecstatic.
“You actually broke through to Foundation Establishment!”
Bingning and Xiaokui were both very surprised.
Bai Sha, who had already known about this, still smiled and offered words of congratulations.
