“Are you a celestial of the Eight Views Sect?” It was at this moment Fu Qingbai slowly and unsteadily climbed to his feet. The woman crossed her arms in front of her chest and performed an ancient salute. “Xin Yuyao of the Eight Views Sect greests you all.” “Junior Fu Qingbai greets Celestial Xin.” Fu Qingbai hurriedly saluted in return. “Thank you very much for saving our lives, celestial.” Xin Yuyao replied cordially, “You’re welcome. It is my duty.” “Hahaha... is she a living deity of the Eight Views Sect?” “I can hardly believe it! I thought this day would never come!” “Greetings, celestial!” “We came to join the Eight Views Sect, celestial! Can you please take us in?” “Yes! Please accept us, celestial.” Everyone on the ship was excited. Some of them even dropped to their knees and were kowtowing to her. “Please rise.” Xin Yuyao made a lifting gesture, and everyone was lifted to their feet by a gentle but irresistible force. “I cannot decide if you can join my sect. However, the Eight Views Sect is an ancient sect who believes in accepting members from all walks of life. If your desire is truly sincere, then you simply need to climb the Celestial Asking Road and pass through the Heart Asking Door.” “So, are you willing to follow me? Yuyao will take you all to your destination.” “We humbly accept your offer, celestial.” “Thank you, celestial.” ...... Everyone on the ship was beside themselves with excitement and gratitude. In fact, the reason they set sail in the first place was to search for the mystical celestials and study under their tutelage. Some of them hailed from prestigious families, some of them had deep family origins, some of them were ordinary commoners, and some of them were wanderers and independent warriors. The reason such a diverse group had come together today was to seek out the Eight Views Sect and join them. The Eight Views Sect was not a famous sect in the Southern Sea. In fact, it had only appeared just a little over a month ago. Still, the entire world was shaken by the news, and countless people set sail into the sea to find them and join them. It was because the Eight Views Sect was one of the hidden celestial sects in ancient times. As of late, plenty of abodes, blessed lands, hidden clans, ancient clans, miraculous places and more had emerged as of late. There were even more fortunate people who managed to enter these places and leap to the heavens in one go. They either obtained unparalleled inheritances that skyrocketed them to unparalleled heights, or gained miraculous medicine that completely transformed them. The sea was no exception. A year ago, a barren island in the Eastern Sea suddenly blossomed with plum blossoms overnight. People called it the White Plum Blossom Villa. A fisherman had accidentally stumbled upon it and obtained the inheritance of a god of swords from ten thousand years ago named Ximen Wuji. He had transformed and purified his body in one month and become a Trueman in three. His White Plum Blossom sword art was matched by no one below the Sage-stage. Half a year ago, a massive snow plain spanning thousands and thousands of kilometers in the Northern Sea melted in one night, revealing a celestial mountain named Buddha Imperial Mountain. The sects of the northern lands had entered the mountain to check it out, but no one returned. Not long after that, the Buddha Imperial Mountain opened its doors for recruitment. It was only then the people realized that the elite warriors who went inside had all shaved their heads and become disciples of the Buddha Imperial Mountain. Not only that, their cultivation level was much stronger than before. These new disciples had gained an incredible amount of strength in just a few months. Everyone envied them greatly. Three months ago, a mysterious island appeared at the Western Sea. It shone with celestial light and filled the air within five kilometers of it in delicious fragrance. One man stumbled upon the island by accident and encountered countless exotic plants and innumerable spirit fruits. He had eaten the fruits as well. After he left the island, he became young again and completely healthy. His meridians and bodily points were perfectly unlocked, and his mind was massively improved as well. Somehow, he had transformed into a once-in-a-century martial talent. He was later taken in as a disciple by the Western Sea Sword Sovereign. Over a month ago at the Eastern Shore, a young man had fished a female corpse from the sea. The corpse wasn’t breathing, but her complexion was rosy, and her body was lifelike. The young man pitied her and dug her a grave. However, the woman returned to life during midnight and emerged from the grave. She took the young man as her disciple. About two weeks ago, celestial light and strange mirages suddenly appeared in the Southern Sea. When the light dissipated, a celestial mountain was left behind. That particular sea region boasted a terrible environment and was ravaged by rampant gales all year long. It was also overflowing with Strangers and beyond dangerous. Anyone who knew the waters automatically stayed far, far away from it. But after the celestial mountain appeared, the wind suddenly dissipated, and the violent Strangers all dissolved into ash in one day. What was a poor, barren, treacherous land also overflowed with spiritual energies all of a sudden. After that, a celestial voice resounded for thousands and thousands of kilometers claiming that they were the Eight Views. They declared that their mountain gates were now open, and all destined ones were welcomed to join them and study the Great Way. Naturally, countless people set sail into the sea in search for this celestial mountain and the chance to join the Eight Views Sect. They were no exception. Strangely, the celestial mountain could be clearly seen from the other shore before they set sail into the sea. They could even identify their flora and fauna. It was as if the celestial mountain was right in front of them. But as soon as they entered the sea, the celestial sea became vague and blurry. The closer they got, the worse the blur became. In their case, by the time they reached this particular area, they had completely lost track of the celestial mountain. It was only now they encountered a member of the Eight Views Sect and gained the opportunity to join it. Naturally, they were quite excited. Although the Eight Views Sect had displayed an astounding level of power since their emergence, many people such as them hadn’t actually witnessed a sect member in action. Now they had, and it was as impressive as they had imagined it to be. Naturally, they were brimming with anticipation. “Come with me.” Xin Yuyao saluted the passengers, and the titanic, metallic giant turned around. It began walking toward the distance. Fu Qingbai hurriedly took control of the Wave Fighter ship and followed the metallic giant. His eyes were sparkling with anticipation and fervor. The rest of the passengers were staring at the metallic giant and the woman on its shoulders with deep envy and longing as well. The life-and-death crisis they just encountered earlier had long been tossed out of their heads. They were only dreaming about joining a celestial sect, mastering unparalleled divine arts, and reaching the pinnacle of their lives. No one noticed that Xin Yuyao was wearing a scornful and cruel smile on her face. Just the same, Xin Yuyao did not notice that a young man standing on the railing of the Wave Fighter ship was wearing an enigmatic smile on his face as well. “I certainly wasn’t expecting to watch a self-directed show when I boarded this ship. This Eight Views Sect is quite the interesting one.” “What do you think, Qingyou?” A woman was gazing at the sea beside the young man. A breeze blew her hair away and revealed a countenance that was as exquisite as a poem. With such a countenance, she should have been the center of the limelight no matter where she went. However, no one on the ship or even Xin Yuyao paid her any attention. The young man and the young woman were of course, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou. They had just returned from the Overseas.
