Chapter 333 The Endless Sea, The Moon Island!

Xu Ning’s answer made Ye Yun’s heart sink even further.

If he hadn’t seen them cultivating Xuan Qi, Ye Yun would have suspected he had transmigrated again.

At this moment, Xu Ning seemed to have understood something. Her eyes suddenly flashed with light, and she said in shock.

“Wait, could it be that you are outsiders?!”

As soon as she said this, the others around them exchanged bewildered glances.

Ye Yun could see the astonishment in their expressions, as if they had witnessed something incredible.

This reaction, coupled with Xu Ning’s words, made Ye Yun’s mood subtly heavy.

“Judging by your words, this is not the Heavenly Domain?”

“Of course not!”

“Then where exactly is this place?”

Ye Yun frowned, his mood growing increasingly somber.

Xu Ning then, as if to make amends, introduced him enthusiastically.

“Here, according to our name for it, is a place called the Boundless Sea.”

“The Boundless Sea?”

This name made Ye Yun’s brows furrow into a deep frown.

He was certain that the Heavenly Domain introduction Xing Wu had given him did not mention any so-called Boundless Sea.

It was clear then, that this was indeed not in the Heavenly Domain.

At this point, Xu Ning nodded with a smile.

“Yes, we have always lived in this Boundless Sea!”

Ye Yun looked around and couldn’t help but ask.

“Always here, on this sea?”

“Of course not.”

Xu Ning explained with a smile, “The place where we truly live is at the center of this Boundless Sea, on an island called Moon Island.”

“So that’s how it is…”

After hearing this, Ye Yun finally understood.

However, he still had some doubts. Was this Moon Island not within the Heavenly Domain?

Then what kind of place could this be?

Xu Ning looked at him and couldn’t help but ask again.

“By the way, are you really from the outside?”

Her eyes were filled with hope, as if she desperately wished for Ye Yun to answer affirmatively.

“Uh, you could say that.”

Ye Yun nodded. Although he didn’t know where he was, they were clearly outsiders.

Then, Xu Ning said with immense joy.

“So, there really is an outside world! Lord of the Island really didn’t lie to us!”

Her companions also looked excited.

“I knew it, the outside world must exist!”

“It’s true, how could Lord of the Island lie to us?”

“I just wonder what the outside world described by Lord of the Island is like…”

Listening to their chatter, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Lord of the Island? Who is that…”

Hearing this, Xu Ning smiled and said.

“Lord of the Island, she is the ruler of our Moon Island, in charge of all affairs on the island. She is a very powerful, and extremely beautiful person!”

“Oh, is that so…”

Hearing her description, Ye Yun couldn’t help but show a curious expression.

Then, he felt several resentful gazes directed at him from the side.

As expected, it was his disciples, quietly watching him, their eyes seeming to say, ‘Master is smitten with another woman again…’

Ye Yun coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, Miss Xu, judging by your reactions, are outsiders extremely rare here?”

“More than rare, they simply don’t exist!”

Xu Ning gazed at him, her eyes looking at him as if he were a precious specimen.

Her voice was tinged with excitement.

“Since I was born, I’ve never heard of anyone coming from outside this place!”

But while she spoke excitedly, Ye Yun grew more and more disheartened.

Good heavens, had he stumbled into some special space from which it was impossible to leave?

Ye Yun looked at her and couldn’t help but ask.

“So, you mean to say, none of you can get out? No one can leave and see the outside?”

“Of course not.”

Xu Ning shook her head, saying with some helplessness.

“On Moon Island, apart from the Lord of the Island, it seems the very first outsiders arrived.”

“Everyone else has lived here all along, their entire lives here, and we’ve never heard of anyone leaving.”

Hmm…

Ye Yun’s heart sank even further as he listened.

But he still couldn’t help but ask.

“In other words, the Lord of the Island here, is from the outside? And what do you mean by ‘can’t get out’?”

In response to his question, Xu Ning scratched her head and said.

“Can you explain it later? For now, let’s finish processing the monster’s corpse. Otherwise, other powerful Xuan Beasts will be attracted soon.”

Although this Ye Yun was incredibly powerful.

But beneath this sea, there were powerful Xuan Beasts comparable to Emperor rank.

If they were unlucky enough to encounter one, they would all be finished here.

Ye Yun also felt he was asking too eagerly, so he nodded.

“No problem, please continue then.”

After that, he watched as Xu Ning and the others skillfully dismembered the massive Xuan Beast further.

They removed some parts, carefully collecting them.

Before long, only fragmented pieces of the octopus Xuan Beast’s corpse remained, drifting away with the seawater.

“Alright, it’s done!”

Xu Ning let out a hearty laugh, clearly delighted.

“This harvest is bountiful, and we can exchange it for many things once we return!”

After speaking, she came to Ye Yun and handed him a blood-red crystal.

“Right, you killed this Xuan Beast, so this most precious True Immortal Realm crystal core should be yours.”

“Uh, this thing isn’t very useful to me.”

Normally, such crystal cores were essential precious materials for alchemists, but for him, who had a cheat, their significance was somewhat diminished.

However, Xu Ning explained afterwards.

“Even if you can’t use it, you can exchange it for other needed items on Moon Island, such as elixirs, Xuan techniques, and the like…”

Ye Yun was somewhat surprised.

“Is it still a barter system here?”

“Yes, it has always been like this, is there a problem?”

“Uh… no problem.”

Ye Yun then remembered that this place wasn’t in the Heavenly Domain, so a lack of hard currency seemed normal.

Looking at the crystal core, he still nodded.

“Alright then, I’ll accept it.”

Although the Xuan Crystal itself had value and could certainly be exchanged for things here.

But on this journey, his vast amount of Xuan Crystals had been almost entirely consumed by the Divine River Warship.

And due to his over-reliance on the system, the Xuan Crystals he had previously possessed were all returned by the system, and could not be returned again.

If he truly encountered treasures he wanted to buy, he might not be able to come up with anything.

And this crystal core, though not exceptionally precious, was valuable because it could be returned. Later, when no one was around, he could give it to Lin Xueyan and the others for a round of return rewards.

Seeing him accept it, Xu Ning smiled with satisfaction and then said.

“Since the distribution is complete, I’ll take you to Moon Island now, to meet the Lord of the Island!”
