Having comprehended the Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light, Yu Lei's journey could be considered complete.
After bidding farewell to Shi Ji, he calmly left Skull Mountain and continued towards the East Sea Coast.
The Five-Colored Divine Stone was the true purpose of Yu Lei's journey.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Lei arrived at the East Sea Coast.
Upon arriving, Yu Lei discovered that the East Sea was far livelier than he imagined.
Humans, demons, mountain spirits, and wild monsters from all corners of the primordial world had gathered at the East Sea Coast.
They all aimed for the Golden Ao Island.
The myriad immortals of the Intercession Sect flocked to the island. Tong Tian, the sect leader, accepted all comers. Anyone who could reach Golden Ao Island could become a registered disciple.
There was even a chance to listen to the Saint preach.
Such an opportunity, which solitary cultivator wouldn't be moved by it?
However, Golden Ao Island wasn't a place one could just go to. It wasn't that Tong Tian intentionally made it difficult, the Saint wouldn't care about such trivial matters.
The problem was that the East Sea was vast and teeming with sea creatures and demons. Many of them had been to Golden Ao Island, with terrifying strength.
They didn't care what the newcomers were doing. If they had the chance, they would mercilessly butcher any passing solitary cultivator as fat sheep.
Add to this the occasional natural disasters in the East Sea, and this sea area was filled with dangers.
Over time, a sea market had formed at the East Sea Coast.
There were all kinds of immortal ships and scattered man-made reefs.
Many solitary cultivators gathered together, forming a lively residential area.
Those with strong strength directly crossed the East Sea and went to Golden Ao Island; those with weaker strength waited for enough companions, then joined forces to go to Golden Ao Island.
Yu Lei arrived here and sighed.
Good heavens, it was almost forming an industry chain!
Apparently, the number of Intercession Sect disciples was far more than just a "myriad immortals attending court."
Tong Tian had been on Golden Ao Island for countless years, and he had already accepted countless registered disciples.
These registered disciples, using the name of Intercession Sect disciples, acted recklessly and created karma. Some of this karma would be counted towards the Intercession Sect.
Even a supreme sect established by a Heavenly Dao Saint couldn't withstand such pressure!
Yu Lei also had some understanding in his heart.
No wonder the Intercession Sect would quickly decline and fall into decline in the future.
While there was some scheming among the Saints, the Intercession Sect's own problems were the root cause of its demise.
Of course, the current Intercession Sect was still thriving and prosperous. The stream of people from all corners of the world, wishing to go to Golden Ao Island to listen to the Saint preach, continued unabated.
Yu Lei was naturally curious about Golden Ao Island and the Intercession Sect, but his first priority was the Five-Colored Divine Stone, and he intended to find it before anything else.
After careful consideration, Yu Lei decided to board a large ship first and travel with others.
He would leave on his own when he reached the vicinity of the coordinates.
He mastered the laws of water, and with the Primordial Water Spirit Orb and the Primordial Covering Sea Great Formation, his strength in the East Sea was enough to rival a Golden Immortal!
This level of strength was already enough to move freely in all directions.
After all, Tai Yi Golden Immortals could already be considered regional overlords in the primordial world, and they wouldn't generally engage in humiliating actions like hunting down youngsters. As for Da Luo Golden Immortals, they were even less likely to do so.
Yu Lei had a plan in mind and immediately found a top-notch immortal ship and boarded it.
The ship's captain was a True Immortal. He said that they would set sail once they had enough people, and having enough immortals on board would also deter the malice of the large demons in the East Sea.
The captain was very happy to have Yu Lei board, as Yu Lei was, after all, a Xuan Immortal.
It should be known that Xuan Immortals were considered high-level cultivators below Golden Immortals. Ordinarily, those who wanted to go to Golden Ao Island were mostly those who had not yet achieved immortality, with most immortals being Heaven Immortals or True Immortals.
With the captain's enthusiastic hospitality, Yu Lei learned that the immortal ship had four classes of cabins, A, B, C, and D. Naturally, Yu Lei chose the A-class room, and the captain even gave Yu Lei a discount.
With Yu Lei's arrival, the immortal ship gradually accepted more passengers who wanted to go to Golden Ao Island.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the number of people finally filled up.
The immortal ship officially set sail, speeding towards the depths of the East Sea.
Yu Lei left his room for some fresh air and watched with amazement.
This immortal ship was a large spiritual treasure, powered by a spiritual formation. While its speed wasn't fast, it was still a precious innate spiritual treasure.
Yu Lei walked onto the deck, looking at the surrounding scenery while quietly observing the passengers on board.
The sea market was a mixture of dragons and snakes, but it was mainly dominated by demons.
However, on Yu Lei's journey, there were mostly human passengers.
Yu Lei was somewhat confused. Could this be a coincidence?
However, for some reason, Yu Lei felt something strange deep down.
But Yu Lei wasn't worried. If there was a fatal danger, his insight would have already sensed a warning from fate.
This was the "premonition" that immortals often had.
Right now, he only felt strange, meaning the situation wasn't serious and he could handle it.
Yu Lei leisurely enjoyed the sea breeze while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
At that moment, a young voice suddenly rang out in his ear.
"S-senior, you're at this level, and you're going to Golden Ao Island too?"
Yu Lei turned his head and saw a young boy looking at him curiously, gathering his courage.
The boy was a human, and his cultivation level was only at the Qi Refinement stage, so Yu Lei hadn't paid attention to him at first.
Now, hearing the boy's question, Yu Lei smiled slightly, "The path of the Dao is long and arduous. There is a Saint on Golden Ao Island, and there is a chance to listen to the Saint's teachings, who wouldn't want that?"
The boy pondered for a moment, then said excitedly, "I hope I can also listen to the Saint preach one day and achieve Golden Immortalhood!"
For a mortal, achieving Golden Immortalhood was a grand ambition.
Yu Lei couldn't help but laugh, "Good, you have ambition! What's your name?"
The boy said solemnly, "My junior's name is Wen Zhong, from the Xuan Ling Tribe of the Human Race. I haven't had the pleasure of learning your name, Senior?"
Yu Lei was stunned upon hearing this.
Wen Zhong?
The boy before him was actually the future Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty?
Seeing a figure from mythology appear before him again, Yu Lei couldn't help but feel a momentary daze.
Wen Zhong was a key figure in the Investiture of the Gods, and he was also the fortune of the Shang Dynasty.
With him, Jiang Ziya's departure from Xi Qi was extremely difficult. However, once Wen Zhong died, the Shang Dynasty was essentially doomed.
Wen Zhong's position in the Intercession Sect was also quite critical. He would later become a disciple of the Intercession Sect's Jin Ling Saint Mother, who was a direct disciple of Tong Tian, one of the Four Saint Mothers, and the eldest sister of the Intercession Sect!
This meant that the future Wen Zhong was actually a core third-generation disciple of the Intercession Sect!
As long as Wen Zhong was alive, the Intercession Sect would support him. Even if he died, the Intercession Sect would avenge him.
Yu Lei looked at Wen Zhong and sighed inwardly.
Such a key figure, I actually met him now!
Yu Lei looked at Wen Zhong and smiled slightly,
"I'm just a solitary cultivator from the mountains. You can call me Yu Lei."
