Immortal bought a lot of books, some of which were naturally about the Outer Lake.
Whether it was the girl named Yiyi who mentioned it, or Shui Zhongyue's reminder, it could all be learned from the books.
Unfortunately, in order to avoid the Golden Core Great Cultivator of the Green Moon Sect stationed at Lake Sound Square, and in a rush, not a single book was read.
The demon hunting ship named 'Canglang' sped ahead, heading towards the Sapphire Coral Reef.
The coral reef indeed looked like a sapphire, with no trace of aquatic life, dreamlike in the lake.
Immortal had seen quite a few corals under the lake, all colorful and varied in form, but it was the first time seeing one so neatly shaped and colored like a piece of sapphire.
"Corals are actually animals too," Shui Zhongyue suddenly said.
Immortal was a bit incredulous: "Not a plant, but an animal?"
Shui Zhongyue nodded: "This coral reef has already turned into a demon and is used by the Green Moon Sect as a node for the Sect Protection Array. The Spiritual Power within it is used to maintain the formation."
On the mast, the deputy captain in the early Foundation Establishment stage raised a token.
The token emitted a blue light, enveloping the 'Canglang Boat'.
The boat approached the boundary without any obstruction and directly passed through the light wall of the formation.
Everyone stood on the ship, looking up at the thick light wall of the formation through the blue shield, a feeling of insignificance arose, as if an ant stood before a human city wall.
Immortal felt shocked.
This was just a corner of the Green Moon Sect's Sect Protection Array. How powerful and unshakable the complete array must be.
"No wonder the Seven Great Sects have stood for ten thousand years, sharing Moon Lake with Water Demons in human form," someone on the ship couldn't help but exclaim.
"Just like that? No one is guarding the Sect Protection Array?"
"Don't worry, it's easy to go out, hard to get in."
There were obviously cultivators like Immortal on the ship who were entering the open sea for the first time.
A female cultivator sailor walked over and cupped her fists towards the two: "Fellow Daoists, the ship is about to enter the open sea, full of dangers, please stay vigilant."
"Thank you." Shui Zhongyue nodded.
Immortal also cupped her fists in thanks from the side.
The female sailor nodded once to them and turned to leave.
On the deck, every group of passengers received a reminder from a sailor cultivator.
Many people directly brought out their magic artifacts.
Sword light swirled, Yiyi held a First Rank Sixth Level Magical Sword in her hand with a graceful posture, carrying it behind her.
She looked at Immortal provocatively.
A First Rank Sixth Level Magical Sword had been specifically bought for her by her father for this trip, something even a Qi Refining Ninth Layer loose cultivator might not have of such quality.
Immortal had a good temper but was slightly competitive.
In the past, when Jiang Xiaoyue dared to provoke her, she directly held six spirit stones, standing in front of Jiang Xiaoyue's stall until she wanted to close shop before leaving.
At this moment, she flicked her magic robe sleeve, a stream of light surged up, circling her rapidly, then hovered like a fish beside her.
In the gradually darkening sky, sharp and heavy spiritual light rippled from the magic artifact.
A First Rank Ninth Level Magic Artifact, Moonlight Peach.
Immortal looked at Yiyi.
Yiyi's face turned unsightly, snorted, and turned her head away.
'Hee hee~' Immortal chuckled quietly.
Finally, the last section of the stern also left the Sect Protection Array, and the sky wall-like light wall of the formation vanished, as if it had never existed.
The Canglang Boat sailed alone on the great lake.
The sky was completely dark, the moonlight was bright, lighting up the entire Moon Lake, like a huge mirror reflecting light.
The concentration of Moonlight Spiritual Energy noticeably increased.
The Water Qi was also surging vigorously.
Without using a Spirit Gathering Array, the effect already rivaled that of the Three Sisters Market using a Spirit Gathering Array.
Immortal thought of a book she had read, which said: Great Demons are born in great mountains, deep lakes can only nurture enormous Water Demons.
The spiritual energy here was far more abundant than at Lake Sound Square, allowing many high-level Water Demons to inhabit.
"Be careful!"
In the night, the captain who had been giving orders suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"Has something happened?"
In the Qi Refinement Realm, without Divine Sense, and without the Spiritual Eye Technique, vision at night was no different from ordinary people.
Anxiety spread among the cultivators.
A gentle breeze blew out from Immortal.
She "saw" a huge water bubble on the lake surface ahead of the ship.
The water bubble approached them at an astonishing speed, and in the next instant, the mountain-like water bubble split from the middle, turning into two massive waves.
In the center of the waves, a black ridge appeared.
Water Demon!
The Water Demon was still far away, but it opened its mouth and spouted, the massive wave charged forward like charging soldiers, attacking the ship.
The waves crashed against the ship's sides, making a thunderous roar.
"Ah!!"
Caught off guard, everyone was thrown off the deck.
Immortal, having been prepared, only swayed slightly due to her Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation with one hundred and eighty-two meridians.
Shui Zhongyue next to her didn't move at all.
"Yiyi!"
Immortal turned to look, seeing Yiyi being tossed up, a middle-aged male cultivator tried to save her but was overwhelmed.
She flicked her sleeve back, throwing her head back, and instantly turned into a gray mist.
Whoosh!
The gray mist swirled through the air like a dragon, enveloping Yiyi as she landed.
"Yiyi!" At this moment, the middle-aged male cultivator steadied himself and rushed over.
Only when embraced by her father did Yiyi regain her composure, her shoulders trembling.
Screams echoed one after another, many Qi Refinement stage cultivators were thrown off.
In the dark, flying fish swooped down, snatching cultivators away.
"Thank you!" The middle-aged male cultivator was deeply grateful to Immortal.
"It's nothing." Immortal turned her head to look forward.
The mountain-like Water Demon stopped ahead, resembling a small island, or a giant ship, confronting the Canglang Boat.
