Jiang Qichen and the others did not dare to take the situation lightly; they knew that they were about to face an extremely dangerous condition.
The same doubt flickered through their minds: they wanted to know who was so formidable as to construct such an Illusion Array at the bottom of the vast sea and what exactly that light pillar was.
After entering the Illusion Array, Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense in all directions, wary of an enemy's sneak attack.
Moments later, he detected some subtle space fluctuations above the nearby sea.
Lowering his head in thought, his eyes suddenly brightened, an epiphany struck him.
"So that's how it is!"
Duan Gujin was elated, now he had figured out what the Illusion Array above the sea was all about.
"This is a natural Illusion Array! It must be an Illusion Array released by some kind of Advanced Demon Beast!"
Duan Gujin's heart pounded; a thought flashed through his mind quickly: "What could that Advanced Demon Beast be?"
It turned out he sensed that the Illusion Array he was currently in was not man-made, but was an Illusion Array emitted by some kind of Advanced Demon Beast.
He had encountered a similar Advanced Demon Beast in his past life; he knew the terror such beasts were capable of.
"Could there be an Advanced Demon Beast capable of powerful Spiritual Attacks here?"
He activated his Evil Eye and cautiously inspected the surrounding Illusion Array.
Roughly fifteen minutes passed, and he found that he had entered another space within the Illusion Array, sensing the increasingly strong strange energy around him.
"Everyone be careful!"
Duan Gujin secretly transmitted his voice to inform the other three people present to conceal their Life Auras to prevent enemies from detecting them.
Although Jiang Qichen and the other two didn't know where Duan Gujin was leading them into the Illusion Array, they knew that Duan Gujin would not tell them to be cautious for no reason. They immediately realized they were very likely approaching the center of the Illusion Array.
Duan Gujin cautiously maneuvered the small boat towards the center of the Illusion Array. After passing through several different spaces, to his surprise, he saw a huge island emerging in front of them.
"Everyone, don't shout! If you need to talk, communicate secretly! Look ahead!"
Duan Gujin urgently transmitted his voice in secret to Jiang Qichen and his companions.
Having heard Duan Gujin's words, they stepped off the small boat and saw the huge island mentioned by Duan Gujin.
"What place is this?"
Jiang Qichen asked.
His heart was filled with puzzlement; he really didn't know there would be such an island on the sea, and moreover, a beam of light was shooting up from it into the sky.
"I really don't know about this; shall we go up and find out?"
Duan Gujin asked.
"Yes! We've come all this way, we must explore ahead no matter what!"
The eyes of Jiang Qichen and the other two shone brightly, their hearts filled with longing.
These days, they had heard numerous rumors about that mysterious light pillar.
But those were all just rumors about the light pillar, and no one really knew the truth.
Now that they had finally arrived where the light pillar appeared, their excitement was imaginable.
"Then be prepared to fight at any moment, we'll go up shortly!"
Duan Gujin said.
After a while, Duan Gujin steered the small boat closer to the island.
He put away the small boat and had Jiang Qichen and the other two follow him ashore.
Upon setting foot on the island, Duan Gujin glanced around and found that his Divine Sense Inspection was useless here; he had to rely on his eyes to observe the scenery ahead.
"This place is full of mystery!"
Duan Gujin scanned the surroundings and, after a while, he thought of a possibility.
"Is it possible that the things on this island emerged from the bottom of the sea not long ago? Could it be that this island has just risen from the seabed?"
Duan Gujin furrowed his brows deeply. He closely inspected his environment and concluded that the island he was on had, indeed, very likely just emerged from the sea.
He suddenly inhaled sharply. He shared his discovery with Jiang Qichen and the other two, preparing them for what may come.
Duan Gujin then cautiously led them forward. Moments later, they saw countless black giant snakes in front of them.
Each of these black giant snakes was as thick as the arm of an adult male and about two meters long. They were densely packed, terrifying Duan Gujin and the others at the sight.
Especially Fang Xiaomei, whose face turned pale at the sight of the teeming black giant snakes.
"Oh my god! So many poisonous snakes!"
Her legs involuntarily began to tremble, and she tried to lean against Duan Gujin's body. She knew that among the three men, Duan Gujin was the strongest and the wisest.
Without Duan Gujin's help, the three of them would have perished at the bottom of the sea long ago.
"Step back!"
Duan Gujin quickly took out some Elixir Powder from his storage ring and scattered it in front of them.
Upon sensing the scent of the Elixir Powder, the poisonous snakes turned around and slithered away after a while.
Seeing the poisonous snakes disperse, Jiang Qichen and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Duan Gujin, you are really amazing!"
Fang Xiaomei's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Duan Gujin.
"It's nothing!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, for he had just sensed a Spiritual Fluctuation nearby; he deduced that this Spiritual Energy was likely used by an enemy lurking in the shadows to control those black poisonous snakes.
"Everyone, be careful! There are enemies around!"
Duan Gujin quickly communicated this to Jiang Qichen and the others through whispered messages.
Hearing this, they took in a breath of cold air and looked around cautiously.
They continued to advance a hundred meters forward and then saw a Stele standing erect in front of them.
Duan Gujin noticed that the Stele had been cleaned, revealing distinct characters.
"It seems that someone has been here before!"
He inspected the text on the Stele with his Divine Sense and noticed that the characters were from an ancient language of the Qiankun Continent.
"These are the characters from the Ancient Continent!"
Jiang Qichen spoke at that moment.
"Do you understand the meaning of these characters?"
Duan Gujin's eyes sparkled as he asked.
"Let me have a look!"
Jiang Qichen analyzed the characters on the Stele very seriously.
After a while, he excitedly shared with others,
"The text on this Stele says there's a treasure left here by an organization called the Martial Saint Sanctuary!"
Hearing this news, Chen Daping and Fang Xiaomei immediately became excited.
"It seems that Jiang Qichen is not the kind of person with profound scheming!"
Duan Gujin naturally recognized the text on the Stele, which was brief and only informed those who saw it that there was a treasure on the island left by the Martial Saint Sanctuary.
"The Martial Saint Sanctuary? What kind of organization is that?"
Fang Xiaomei furrowed her brows, pondering what exactly the Martial Saint Sanctuary was.
