Nine Revolutions Star Technique

In his prime, Su Moran would find it exceedingly difficult to confront three Half-Step Celestial Immortals working together.

Especially when his cultivation is sealed?

The restriction set by Yu Hongqing on him would take at least three years to undo without external help. If Jiang Ran and the others really bypass the Enchanting Sea Region to hunt down Su Moran, his situation must be perilous.

Therefore.

Ye Qingchen had no choice but to abandon his entanglement with Flor and others and rush to Star Gathering Scattered Island first.

However.

He did not forget to leave a mark on that island. After all, with the chaos in Hengyu within the Enchanting Sea Region, without a mark, even he couldn’t easily find that island.

"Boom!"

After leaving the Enchanting Sea Region.

Ye Qingchen transformed directly into a green streak, swiftly heading towards Star Gathering Scattered Island.

...

The East Sea is dangerous, not only in the Enchanting Sea Region.

One should know.

The vast East Sea may seem calm one moment, but the next, it could trigger a storm of thunder, sometimes just as fierce as the Enchanting Sea Region, and its effects are even wider, but fortunately, it doesn’t last long.

Besides that.

The number of demonic beasts in this sea region is more numerous than on land; Earth Immortal-level beings are quite common, and even Celestial Immortal demon beasts are not scarce. Ye Qingchen encountered many demonic beasts on his way.

There were giant dragon turtles with mountain-like spines, resembling islands as they swam, making it look as if a mountain were floating.

Massive white jiao dragons came with bodies enshrouded in mist, bringing storms wherever they went.

There were those whose bodies always remained underwater, invisible and resembling a massive shadow that swam continuously, as if they could swallow everything like a black hole.

Schools of massive fish resembling prairie wolf packs came howling and departed, vicious enough to strip Earth Immortal realm Tiger-headed Whales to the bone in an instant.

"No wonder Star Gathering Scattered Island is a refuge for loose cultivators; this sea region acts as a natural defense line, even Earth Immortals would not dare claim they could retreat unscathed!"

Ye Qingchen mused secretly.

Not until the seventh day after leaving the Enchanting Sea Region did he finally reach Star Gathering Scattered Island.

"Exhale!"

This is a massive sea domain. From afar, countless islands dotted the sea, spanning a vast sky and earth, presenting a grand spectacle.

Amidst the islands, numerous giant ships could be seen slowly sailing by.

"Is this Star Gathering Scattered Island?"

Ye Qingchen slightly furrowed his brow.

Before seeing the island personally, he assumed it was just a gathering of hundreds of islands, but now it seemed to be composed of hundreds of thousands, far beyond his imagination.

Moreover, due to the complex situations among the islands, it’s no wonder Su Moran suggested fleeing here back then.

"Could it be that this Star Gathering Scattered Island was also fragmented during that great celestial catastrophe?"

Slowing down, Ye Qingchen, stepping carefully onto the sea domain, couldn’t help but have a startling thought pop into his head. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"I wonder where Su Moran is now, and how far Jiang Ran and the others have chased her?"

With his hands behind his back, Ye Qingchen pondered.

While thinking, he’d maneuvered around the ships and stepped onto a small island. He hadn’t walked far when a row of fully-armed cultivators suddenly emerged from the woods, the leader glaring at him with tiger-like eyes.

"Boy, you’re quite bold, daring to step onto my turf!"

This cultivator had a sallow face, and was tall, slender, and with triangular eyes filled with hostility as he sized up Ye Qingchen, his gaze full of delight.

"Haha, coming at just the right time!"

Ye Qingchen was slightly taken aback, then realized he’d run into bandits, immediately showing a joyful expression.

He had been contemplating how to find Su Moran, not expecting someone to deliver themselves to him.

"What did you say?" The loose cultivator squinted, seemingly not understanding yet, then quickly barked, "Kid, cut the crap, hand over all your valuables, and I might spare your life!"

Ye Qingchen wouldn’t waste time bantering, raising his right hand directly.

Rumbles!

There was a loud noise in the void as a massive blue palm descended. The cultivator showed a trace of shock and anger, but before he could react, he was slapped heavily to the ground.

Witnessing this, the others scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in panic.

"Spare me, Immortal, spare me!"

As the giant palm pressed bit by bit, the cultivator was already on his knees, curled up, kowtowing repeatedly, and pleading for mercy.

"I ask you, has anyone special entered Star Gathering Scattered Island recently?" Ye Qingchen asked in a deep voice.

The man was momentarily stunned but, seeing the cold light in Ye Qingchen’s eyes, nodded vigorously, trembling, "Yes, yes, yes! Half a month ago, a woman rode a black jiao dragon into Star Gathering Scattered Island!"

"Is that so?" Ye Qingchen asked.

"Indeed, many people saw it then!" The man’s forehead was bleeding from his kowtows, wailing sorrowfully.

"In that case, I shall spare your life, lead me to her!" Ye Qingchen never intended to kill him, anyway, since he was new to Star Gathering Scattered Island and needed a guide.

Where would the man dare refuse? He dared not even wipe the blood on his forehead, hastily consenting.

He blew a long whistle gathering the previously scattered people, then led Ye Qingchen to an isolated harbor, boarding a large three-masted ship to set out to sea.

Noticing Ye Qingchen’s confusion, the man quickly explained respectfully.

It turns out.

Beneath Star Gathering Scattered Island, many demonic beasts lurk, and for cultivators to walk barefoot on water, invites ambushes. Hence, the islanders often travel by boat.

And that’s precisely why they quickly distinguished Ye Qingchen as an outsider and wanted to extort him. Little did they know they would encounter Ye Qingchen.

Unknowingly, the large ship cut through the water until it stopped before a massive island at sunset.

This island was many times larger than the previously scattered ones, but from afar, one could feel a chilling murderous aura. They hadn’t even set foot before being stopped.

"What’s happening?"

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brow slightly.

"Sir, Hidden Dragon Island is under lockdown, no entry allowed for outsiders right now! Please leave!"

"I’m here looking for someone," Ye Qingchen said, frowning slightly, "Has a woman named Su Moran come here recently?"

Seeing the celestial immortal, one Earth Immortal immediately grew wary, watching Ye Qingchen as if he were a major threat, ready to take him down should he make any move:

"Who exactly are you?"

"I am Ye Qingchen!" Standing there with dignity, Ye Qingchen responded calmly.

"You’re Ye Qingchen?"

The two gatekeeping Earth Immortals widened their eyes at his words, like encountering a specter.
