his was a thin, sallow old monk wearing coarse hemp robes and straw sandals. His toes were exposed, with dirt clearly visible between them.While Jiang Wang was sizing him up, he was also sizing her up...Jiang Wang chose the detour because it was too far from the floating island, making it unsafe. But for Jiang Wang, the Blue Pearl Granny was more dangerous than the sea clan.

While the Sea Clan is certainly more powerful, they wouldn't know who Jiang Wang was unless they encountered him. They wouldn't specifically target him otherwise.

He needs to be familiar with this place, and it's best to set things up in advance to win the advantage of terrain.

Just as he had chosen to wait for Haizongming on Mount Camel back then, maximizing the weakening of his water-faring arts.

He was certain that Grandma Bi Zhu was lurking inside, while he was lying in wait outside.

This is a gamble.

If Bi Zhu Po had enough patience, she could stay near the Floating Island and focus more on lurking than hunting sea creatures. Then Jiang Wang, who was putting his efforts into squatting instead of hunting, would be unable to finish his atonement in advance and would have to go to the Floating Island for supplies.

That would give the geographical advantage to Granny Bi Zhu.

Jiang Wang decided to take this gamble.

To entrust victory to luck is foolish, but he wasn't gambling on luck, he was gambling on his judgment of Granny Biju.

He could choose not to gamble and directly hunt down the sea tribes, striving to finish his atonement sooner. But he didn't know when Bi Zhu Granny would catch up. In a sudden encounter, what was most tested was the true combat strength of both sides. Jiang Wang undoubtedly fell into a disadvantage.

>

In order to win, in order to win as quickly as possible, he needed to wait instead.

It was only after passing the fifth giant stone that Jiang Wang discovered that these floating stones in the Illusory Realm were not fixed in place. To confirm this discovery, he retraced his steps. The distance between two stones had indeed shortened, and their orientation had shifted.

The movement of the boulders is extremely slow, and due to the lack of reference points, it is difficult to notice.

The key finding here is that the idea of using megaliths as signposts for cartographic memory has failed. An unstable object, of course, cannot serve as a reliable landmark.

To make matters worse, Jiang Wang originally planned to do something special on certain large rocks in order to lure the Bi Zhu Granny over. Now, it seemed impossible. When he finally managed to lure Bi Zhu Granny, the rocks might have already left with his decorations.

>It's okay that there are pointers.

Otherwise, don't even talk about ambushing Bibi Zhu, it would be hard not to lose yourself.

This was the eighth black spot Jiang Wang had encountered. Even though boulders moved, he subconsciously recorded some information. It wasn't necessarily useful, but being prepared never hurt.

When this black spot gradually revealed its outline in his field of vision, Jiang Wang only then realized that it wasn't a rock, but a fish.

A fish about three zhang long and two zhang high, with black scales, sharp teeth, and a menacing presence. It was swimming in the air, clearly having seen Jiang Wang, and accelerated rapidly towards him!

This was the first sea beast Jiang Wang encountered in the Mystical Realm, which surprised him greatly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It's not because this sea beast is too strong, but...too weak.

>

Compared to the eight-armed sea beast Jiang Wang had slain near Xia Island before, this one was far weaker.

The giant black fish slammed into the boat, its gaping maw filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth. A wave of sickeningly sweet stench washed over them.

Jiang Wang unsheathed his sword!

A dashing sword, lifted to its peak, appeared in the air.

Just before the giant black fish could reach Jiang Wang, its entire body split right down the middle. Driven by inertia, the two halves shot off in opposite directions from Jiang Wang.

Internal organs, fresh blood, and carcass.

They each flew away.

It's really weak, at most only the strength of a Zhoutian realm cultivator.

Is this the young of sea beasts, or perhaps the weakest kind

>

Before this, Jiang Wang's concept of the strength of sea beasts was based on that eight-armed sea beast. He thought that it should at least have the combat power of an inner mansion realm cultivator.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This sea beast encountered in the Netherworld is completely different from what he imagined.

The eight-armed sea beast encountered on Xia Dao, although out of control and frenzied, still felt the influence of its elemental power. It had an instinctual ability to manipulate elemental power and release spells.

But the sea creature before them possessed only pure physical strength, with no trace of intelligence.

He felt more like a beast, but not as bloodthirsty and frenzied as one. Or perhaps his physical strength was comparable to a beast's, but his intelligence resembled that of a common wild animal.

As the giant fish neared death, the inertia from its final dash dissipated. Its body, organs, and blood were scattered in an instant. Some rose to the surface, others sank to the depths, some drifted left, and others right...

It looks like it was dissected into five parts, the stench of blood spreading instantly.

Jiang Wang immediately fled.

>

When he had flown a long distance and turned back, he saw thirteen black spots there!

It probably wasn't a giant rock that floated here.

After that, Jiang Wang encountered two more sea beasts and experimented with them. He found that these sea beasts were indeed relatively weak, and the black giant fish was not an isolated case.

That's also reasonable. Any group has its strong and weak points. When human cultivators tame sea beasts, they definitely choose the powerful ones to capture.

But Jiang Wang had a vague feeling that it might not be entirely so.

This place is far from the Floating Islands and belongs entirely to wilderness. The sea beasts' strength should be at an average level, it shouldn't be this weak...unless this is the common power level among sea beasts, with truly powerful ones being very rare.

He encountered the fourth sea creature unexpectedly, at which point he had already passed ten massive stones.

It was a frog-like sea monster, with a large belly and bulging face. It had green skin and red eyes, and a pair of horns like those of an ox on its head. With one kick of its hind legs, it leaped high into the air, like a hill coming down.

This sea beast is stronger than the previous three, likely possessing the combat strength of a Transcending Heaven Stage cultivator. It's definitely stronger than an average Transcending Heaven Stage cultivator, but wouldn't stand a chance against a Dragon Ascension Stage cultivator.

But most importantly, between the two curved horns of this sea cow creature hung a hammock.

On the rattan chair, sat a burly figure.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Two large axes stood at their feet, while they supported one with both hands.

Sea people!

Jiang Wang only then realized that he had encountered the first sea tribe since entering the realm of illusion.

He truly came into contact with the Sea People.

The instant their eyes met, the figure shot into the air, soaring higher and faster than any frog-like sea beast, its great axe whistling down first!

He had a pair of blue eyes and was bald. He wore armor, his arms wielding an ax, muscles bulging.

Before his figure even touched the ground, the roar of breaking wind was already approaching him.

There was no communication.

Between the Human and Sea races, there was no need for communication when they met in the wild.

And Jiang Wang could observe him so clearly in the blink of an eye, and even had the time to weigh his ax technique, naturally because... he was stronger!

With a single sword stroke, sparks were drawn.

The burly sea tribe, aided by the strength of a frog-like sea beast and its own advantage of leaping from high ground, was still effortlessly cut down with a single sword!

Both of the large axes had visible notches on their blades.

These sea creatures were clearly not stupid. With one strike, they realized they were no match for their opponent. In a flash, the double axes in their hands transformed into massive claws!

Before Jiang Wang's eyes, a crab-shaped behemoth emerged from the sea. Its entire body was covered in black iron-like shell, its large claws raised high like giant axes, its aura increasing manifold!

The frog-like sea beast of the Heavenly Transcendence Realm, which was about to pounce on Jiang Wang, suddenly stopped in its tracks, seemingly intimidated by his aura.

Jiang Wang had a thought in his mind!

This is the kind of sea monster he encountered on Xia Island!

The Haizu and Shuizu, these two branches with a common ancestor, have already developed fundamental differences!

Could it be... that the tamed Guardian Sea Beasts in the Nearshore Islands were actually the true forms of sea creatures
