Chapter 40: Entering the Continent After the Luohe boat flew to a high altitude, it quickly turned and headed south. But this time it was not in the sky, but descending very quickly, almost flying close to the sea surface. If you don't look closely, you would think that this boat is no different from an ordinary boat. The weather at sea is unpredictable. A wave at random is enough to capsize a small boat. But the Luohe Boat is no ordinary boat. Yun Nong looked at the huge waves that were opening up quickly. They were as high as three stories. When they fell, they could easily swallow up the huge boat. But when he entered the boat, Yun Nong felt that there was an invisible thing protecting the Luohe Boat. When it was high in the sky, it protected the people in the boat from the strong wind. Now facing the huge waves, this protection was more obvious. When the seawater was still a person's height above their heads, it could no longer fall. A large amount of seawater was blocked by this invisible wall, forming a thick layer of dark dome, which seemed to be a small house made of seawater. The waves quickly swept past, and Yun Nong saw that the sea and sky were clear again. Although Rong Qing was in the Luohe boat, his sense of direction was not affected. Yun Tong controlled the magic weapon and went straight south, with almost no change in the bow of the boat. The strangest thing was that he chose to fly close to the sea surface instead of high in the sky. Could it be that there is something mysterious? Rong Qing pondered. Yun Tong's behavior was too unusual. No wonder she thought too much. Perhaps there was a maze in the sky that she could not detect, or the entrance to Cangliuzhou could only be entered from the sea. As Rong Qing thought about this, she suddenly realized that the sea surface had become extremely calm. Except for the slight ups and downs of the waves, the entire sea surface was light blue, like a solidified gem. "We have now entered the border of Cangliu Continent." Yun Tong knew what Rong Qing was thinking and said to the three of them. "It's really special." Rong Qing didn't notice any restrictions or formations in effect. But the sea surface was indeed completely different from before. In Rong Qing's opinion, the possibility that this continent was formed naturally is extremely small. But what kind of powerful cultivator was there in Cangliuzhou who could make it completely independent? Or is this place actually a secret place? Rong Qing had too many doubts, but she didn't show them. She just asked, "Why can't I see Cangliuzhou yet?" Logically speaking, with the speed of Luohe Boat, since it has entered the border, it should be able to see the land of this continent soon.
"Don't be anxious, Friend Yu." Yun Tong smiled mysteriously. "That was just the first line of defense. There are also patrol officers guarding Cangliuzhou. Even if someone breaks in by chance, they can't really enter Cangliuzhou without the approval of the patrol officers. It is said that even a Yuanying Zhenjun will be trapped and die in this sea area." Yun Tong was satisfied to see the shock on Rong Qing's face. Although it was not he who arranged such a powerful defensive measure, as a cultivator from Cangliu Continent, he still felt proud of it. Yun Tong summoned a scarlet token from his storage bag and shouted, "Bai Shi Guan Yun Tong is returning to the island today. I would like to ask the inspector to let him pass." After doing this three times, he stopped the boat on the Luo River and bowed towards the front. The scarlet token was delicate in shape, and more like a plaything in a girl's boudoir. It looked a little awkward when Yun Tong bent over and presented it with both hands, like a giant holding up a dressing box. Seeing this, Rong Qing and Yun Nong kept silent and waited for the next possible changes. Shan Xing had followed Yun Tong to Cang Liuzhou more than once, and his expression was respectful but also a little doubtful. Yun Tong maintained this attitude and waited for half an incense stick. He had practiced Taoism for many years and even felt a cold sweat coming down. This situation had never happened in Cangliuzhou before. Logically, the inspector should have responded to him long ago. But now, he has not come yet... Did he do something to displease the inspector, so he left him alone. Or... Yun Tong had a possibility in his mind that something big had happened in Cangliuzhou, and even with the ability of the inspector, he was unable to deal with it. No, it can't be the latter. Yun Tong told herself this firmly, holding the token with an even more respectful look. Suddenly, a whirlpool more than one person tall appeared in front of Yun Tong. Seeing the whirlpool appear, Rong Qing keenly noticed that Shan Xing's slightly tense expression was obviously relaxed. The vortex appeared silently. According to people's habitual thinking, a vortex should have a very strong suction force, but this vertical vortex is different. It is more like a mirror. The so-called suction force is not the ability to swallow, but to attract the sight of people who see it, making people involuntarily fall deeply into the vortex. Yun Tong coughed lightly. It was like thunder in Yun Nong's ears. Yun Nong's eyes suddenly became clear, and he realized that he was almost intoxicated in the vortex. With fear in his heart, he quickly lowered his head and dared not look at it again. The scarlet token floated into the vortex. After a while, an old voice came from the vortex, "The token is correct, why are there two more people this time?" "In reply to the inspector, these two are my registered disciples in Jing Country. They were brought to Cangliuzhou for their cultivation." "Oh... Jingguo." The inspector's voice came from the vortex, which was quite ambiguous. "Compared to last time, the qualifications are much worse. However, since it is Jingguo, we can't force it." The scarlet token flew out of the vortex and returned to Yun Tong's hand. Along with the token, two pieces of scarlet talisman paper folded into triangles also flew out. After Yun Tong received it, he gave one scarlet talisman paper to Rong Qing and Yun Nong respectively, and instructed, "You two keep it well. This is your certificate to travel freely in Cangliu Continent. If you lose it, not only will you be expelled from the continent, but your sect will also be in great trouble." "I understand." Compared to Yun Nong who said "Disciple understands" with a serious face, Rong Qing paid more attention to the talisman paper folded into a triangle. According to Yun Tong, this is equivalent to an identity certificate in Cangliuzhou. If it is lost, I am afraid I will be regarded as an illegal resident. With Rong Qing's eyesight, she wouldn't really think of it as a talisman. What was attached to the talisman paper was a restriction. Like the talisman, the different structures of the prohibition determine its function. It is based on talisman paper, but it is just that this kind of talisman paper has the ability to store spiritual power far beyond the same level. What really works is the prohibition on it. This kind of prohibition is also rare in the north. I don’t know if it is also the case in Cangliuzhou, but Rong Qing has seen it occasionally and has not had a deep impression, but this special shape immediately evokes her memories.
"This restriction is called hidden restriction. The external restriction is obviously for positioning. But the key lies in the restriction hidden inside. It is impossible to judge." Rong Qing recalled, "If you want to know the restriction inside, you have to open it. After some hidden restrictions are opened, the hidden restrictions inside will take effect immediately. And when some hidden restrictions are opened, the restrictions inside will collapse immediately." She looked at the talisman paper folded into a triangle in her hand, "In my current situation, no matter how curious I am, I should not open it. Who knows what strange restrictions the maker hid in it. Well, maybe after entering the continent, I can learn some information about this certificate." After the token and talisman flew out of the vortex, no more sound was heard. Yun Tong understood that this was the meaning of the inspector allowing the four of them to enter. He immediately controlled the Luohe boat and plunged into the mysterious vortex. The four of them were dizzy. As the vision gradually became clear, Rong Qing heard Yun Nong's exclamation. Indeed, shocking enough! A huge city suddenly appeared on the empty sea, covering a vast area that stretched all the way to the end of the sight. The city walls were dark in color, but were illuminated by a large number of lights. Outside the city were towering mountains, with a large number of giant fireflies flying through the mountains and forests, like groups of moving balls of fire. Cangliuzhou needs light, because there is no sky here. Rong Qing looked up at the place where the sky should be. It was as if a hand had placed a cemetery upside down on top of Cangliuzhou's head. There are densely packed stone tablets of different sizes and shapes, some with words on them and some without, but all of them have a sharp sense, like swords, as if they can fall and pierce this continent at any time. The stone tablets are sunk into the dark red soil. The soil seems loose, but it is tightly gathered, as if locking these stone tablets that are about to fall. Among the stone tablets, there was one that was very special. It was the largest among all the tablets, and it felt the most heavy. Yun Tong did not recognize the words on it, but Rong Qing did. It was "Cang Liu". Every stroke of the brush was filled with killing intent. It was as if announcing that from now on, they would cover the sky here, or in other words, they were the real sky of Cangliuzhou! (End of this chapter)
