Although hearts are hidden and people are like dice, when on the Sea of Virtual Numbers, the only ones you can rely on are each other.
After all, if you encounter a swarm of virtual beasts, a single flying ship's strength is not enough to survive.
Ye Yun nodded and continued to ask.
"Besides that, are there any other significant threats?"
"Significant threats..."
Ye Yao pondered for a moment, then suddenly reminded him.
"Ah, indeed there is a major threat... No, it's not really a threat, it's more of a legend."
"What legend? Tell me about it."
Ye Yun's interest was piqued, and Ye Yao thought for a moment before explaining.
"I heard it from someone before. They said that within the Sea of Virtual Numbers, there actually roams a virtual beast whose realm surpasses the Emperor Tier."
"Some people occasionally see its enormous form when night falls, but it doesn't actively attack. It's as if it's searching for something."
"Uh..."
Upon hearing her account, Ye Yun's expression became a little strange.
A virtual beast beyond the Emperor Tier, wouldn't that be like a god?
After all, he had been in the Heavenly Domain for so long and had never heard of any cultivators above the Emperor Tier.
"This Sea of Virtual Numbers doesn't seem simple..."
Ye Yun took a deep breath, silently praying that he wouldn't encounter such a creature.
If it were truly a monster beyond the Emperor Tier, and it genuinely wanted to act, there would be no escaping.
However, this also deepened Ye Yun's doubts: how was this Sea of Virtual Numbers born...
...
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
After such a long period of continuous travel, day and night, they could finally see their destination!
Ye Yun stood up and gazed into the distance ahead. The so-called Sea of Virtual Numbers was just within reach.
"Wow! How spectacular!!!"
This exclamation came from Fang Zhiwei.
Lin Xueyan and the others also stood up, looking at the scene in the distance with disbelief.
"This is the Sea of Virtual Numbers. It feels so terrifying..."
What met their eyes was a boundless black ocean, and a salty, cold sea breeze swept towards them from afar.
What was truly frightening were the endless dark clouds gathered above the sea, completely obscuring the sky and exuding a violent aura.
From this perspective, the Sea of Virtual Numbers looked like the gaping maw of a colossal beast, ready to devour any living creature that dared to enter.
This soul-crushing pressure made Chen Lingyi, who was relatively timid, a little scared.
"It feels so scary. Are we really going in..."
She unceremoniously snuggled into her sister Chen Lingxin's embrace, while Chen Lingxin gently stroked her back.
"Don't be scared, sister. We have Master with us."
Looking at their sisterly relationship, one would think their roles should be reversed.
Ye Yao stopped and looked at the Sea of Virtual Numbers, slowly saying.
"It's alright. It's just scary at the beginning. Once you go deeper into the sea and get used to it, it will be fine."
To her, this seascape filled with annihilation and darkness was as common as everyday scenery. She was long accustomed to it.
After being momentarily stunned by the scenery, Ye Yun turned his gaze elsewhere.
As a virtual port, this place looked like a seaside city. Buildings of various types dotted the landscape, indicating considerable prosperity.
It was said to be a free zone, where even the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall's influence did not extend.
As they got closer, Ye Yun saw pedestrians on the streets. Their cultivation levels were generally at the Xuan Immortal or Earth Immortal level, and even Heavenly Immortals were not uncommon.
Low-level cultivators below the Xuan Immortal realm dared not venture into such a place; it would be suicidal...
Moreover, most of them were led by cultivators at the True Saint realm. True Immortal realm cultivators were rarely seen, as outside of the top powers of the Heavenly Domain, there weren't many of them.
This situation made Ye Yun nod to himself.
"It seems my quasi-True Immortal cultivation can allow me to swagger around here..."
However, unless absolutely necessary, he was too lazy to get into any conflicts with others.
Furthermore, on the sea, Ye Yun could see hundreds of flying ships from all over the Heavenly Domain, of various types.
These included ships from major powers and some private vessels, truly a gathering of people from all walks of life, chaotic indeed.
However, they were all hovering above the Sea of Virtual Numbers, seemingly waiting to depart together.
At this moment, a clear and cold voice echoed throughout the entire virtual port.
"Announcement! Announcement! Teams intending to cross the sea this week, please assemble at the port immediately. The fleet departure is in one hour!"
This announcement repeated several times. Ye Yun nodded and said.
"It seems we've arrived at just the right time."
There was no need to wait; they could depart immediately.
Ye Yao looked at Ye Yun and asked, "By the way, what are we traveling on?"
Before this, she hadn't seen the prepared flying ship.
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "This, you will know soon. It will definitely be a big surprise for you all."
"Ah?"
Ye Yao blinked. A flying ship was just a flying ship, nothing more than the usual sort. What kind of surprise could there be?
Amidst her confusion, her master led them straight towards the port.
To accommodate the docking of the hundreds of meters wide Divine River flying ship, Ye Yun specifically found a large open space in a corner to avoid collisions with other ships.
Just as he was about to summon the Divine River flying ship, a hearty laugh reached his ears.
"Well, well, isn't this the husband of our Senior Feng!"
Ye Yun was slightly taken aback. Following the sound, he saw that the voice came from a nearby flying ship.
Before him was a large flying ship, about a hundred meters long, with over ten figures descending onto the deck.
The person leading them was a True Immortal realm cultivator, and it was he who had spoken.
Ye Yun glanced at him, finding him familiar but unable to recall, and asked curiously.
"You are..."
The man observed Ye Yun and smiled, saying.
"It's understandable that Elder Ye doesn't remember me. I was part of the delegation to the Three Mountains Exchange Meet at Chaofeng Mountain, accompanying Elder Xu."
Having said that, he did not forget to introduce himself.
"I am Zhao Wangsheng, an Elder of Hongchen Mountain."
Only then did Ye Yun realize why he seemed familiar. It must have been from a previous encounter.
Now that his relationship with Hongchen Mountain was cordial, and they had taken the initiative to greet him.
Ye Yun naturally wouldn't respond with indifference. He smiled faintly and said.
"So it's Elder Zhao. I was wondering why you looked so familiar..."
Ye Yun also noticed that the flying ship hovering beside them proudly displayed the flag of Hongchen Mountain.
At this moment, Zhao Wangsheng looked at Ye Yun and the others behind him, and asked curiously.
"I didn't expect to meet Elder Ye here. Are you also heading to the Abyss of Virtual Numbers?"
"That's right. I have some matters to attend to."
Ye Yun nodded, then glanced at the cultivators of Hongchen Mountain behind him.
Noticing his gaze, Zhao Wangsheng immediately chuckled softly.
"I'm here because I heard that a supreme treasure has appeared in the Abyss of Virtual Numbers, so I decided to join the fun. I'm also bringing some juniors for some experience."
"Uh, the supreme treasure you mentioned, isn't it left by that Star Dance person?"
Zhao Wangsheng was quite enthusiastic and said heartily.
"It seems Elder Ye knows about it too. Isn't it hers? They say she obtained an opportunity to achieve the Emperor Tier, so we want to try our luck."
After speaking, he couldn't help but ask.
"Doesn't Elder Ye wish to contend for it?"
"That's the treasure of Star Dance, the Sword Emperor of Night. If you obtain it, you'll gain immensely..."
