Endless dangers lay in the ocean, which was why the two cultivation worlds had rarely contacted each other in the last hundreds of years even though the ancestors of the three saint factions had known the existence of a prosperous cultivation world across the ocean.
Ocean storms and many unknown but powerful demon beasts in the ocean blocked the path of at least 99 percent of cultivators.
Booming thunders rumbled in the distance. The sky above the turbulent ocean waves was covered by gloomy dark clouds, and big raindrops were swept into the ocean by gusts.
At this moment, several brilliant sword energies shot across the void like lightning flashes.
Boom!
A thunderbolt struck dangerously close to these sword energies.
"Don't fly too high!"
The sword energies flashed past the mountain-like ocean waves.
"We'll be out of the storm zone soon!"
"Look out under you! Be careful of the demon beasts in the ocean!"
There were two groups of sword energies. One group of them were cultivators who were Daoists wearing black and white Daoist robes and beautiful women wearing white clothes. They stood at the front of the swords with their clothes flapping in the wind, looking like immortals.
They were people of the Nanhua Faction, Yimu Daoist Palace, and other forces in the Morning Star Sea Realm.
In the other group, the people were dressed in all kinds of clothes. These people included a black-clothed cultivator emitting chilly murderous spirit, a devilish, green-eyed woman wearing green clothes, and a white-haired young man with a smooth, handsome face.
They were cultivators from Half City.
"They all say that the outer sea is extremely dangerous, but it seems fine to me!" A middle-aged, black-robed man with black long hair said with a laugh, "I think it won't take us long to reach the continent where Jiuhua City is situated."
"Old Black, we'll have a good match with the warriors of Dajin and see who deserves to be the Master of Sand City!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Be careful." Mo Tianxing's turbid eyes looked forward."We know nothing about the outer sea. We must save our spiritual energy because there's no land for us to take a break before we arrive."
"Do you guys hear that?" Suddenly, Duan Yue of the Haoran Sword Faction said in a grave voice.
"There are sounds."
With faint frowns, the cultivators listened carefully while flying forward. Sure enough, some faint sounds came with ocean winds.
It sounded like whispers at their ears or faint songs and gradually dispersed.
"Have you noticed that?!" Suddenly, someone said, "We've flown so long but are still at the edge of the storm zone!"
They looked up and saw that the sky was still covered by dark clouds.

After Su Tianji began watching the new movie, only a few other cultivators and warriors who had abundant crystals followed her suit.
The Final Fantasy Series covered almost all elements of magic, technology, and cold weapons, which were the focus of the movie, Final Fantasy 7.
Since these cultivators had known about magic and sci-fi concepts, they understood the movie with the help of the introduction at the beginning of the movie.
It was a strange world where the Lifestream ran across the planet, giving life to everything in the world.
After humans transformed the Lifestream into an energy source through powerful technology, humans entered a period of great prosperity, and the creator of this technology, the Shinra Corporation, stood on the top of the world.
Of course, there were oppositions, but they were destroyed by brutal suppression.
Shinra had a group of special soldiers with the cells of Jenova, an extraterrestrial life-form that had come from outer space in the ancient times with the mission to destroy the planet.
A soldier named Sephiroth was the most talented one, but he hated Shinra when he found out that he was created in a horrible experiment. As time went by, his hatred spread to all the things in the world, and he planned to destroy the whole planet as revenge.
In the war lasting many, many years, one story came and went after another like radiant splashes in the long river of time. There were many epic legends and stories of heroes.
Finally, the planet ended the war with its own strength by spewing out the Lifestream, cleansing all the conflicts, desires and sorrow. The humans who survived until the end continued living in the ruins.
However, when the disaster passed, the war continued.
"Wow! This is awesome!" Jiang Xiaoyue was enthralled by the fierce battle at the beginning of the movie. It must be noted that the battle scenes were more real than the original version; it looked like a battle in the real world.
For example, the main character Cloud and the villain Sephiroth were like war machines, so their battle was extremely enthralling and hard to come by.
Before Fang Qi had traveled through space and time, the movie viewers and game players were ordinary people, and all the battles could be seen with the naked eye, regardless of how strong the characters were.
However, in the system version, except for some necessary slow-motion scenes, the speed, strength, and techniques weren't altered and stayed the same as the levels in the real world.
Only real battles like these could benefit the players and increase their strength.
"They are all warriors... but these guys look like they can't be killed, just like Dante in Devil May Cry... ?" Su Tianji frowned as she watched.
She had a feeling that these techniques and battle experience were sealed in her mind. She had had the same feeling when she watched Resident Evil, from which she had mastered all the close-range combat skills afterward. She felt like she would probably know how to use the double-handed sword techniques after watching the movie.
"Ugh... ? Does it work the same way as Resident Evil?" Eagerly, she continued watching.
Except for the ideas that the movie wanted to express, the main story was quite simple. The legendary soldier Sephiroth returned from the legends.
The battles escalated from combat between soldiers to the resurrection of Sephiroth until they came to the Legendary Battle!
"Young Master Song, is this movie good or not?" Lin Shao looked impatient.
At this moment, Song Qingfeng watched as Cloud hacked down from a height of 100 meters with a huge saber that was as tall as one man's height.
The ground in the area cracked and then shattered with booming noises.
The horrifying energy spread out all over the place.
With silver hair fluttering in the wind, an extremely slim long blade had easily blocked this huge, double-handed saber!
Below the silver hair, a familiar face looked up slowly as if returning from the ancient past.
"F*ck! It's awesome! Come here and look at this handsome guy!" Song Qingfeng exclaimed.
