Chapter 404 Gray Sea
Ding Huan sat on the iron wok, but the wok's speed was not even one tenth of its original speed.

The truth is that Ding Huan didn't dare to increase the speed of the iron pan to its maximum.

Even at this speed, he was always paying attention with his spiritual sense, fearing that he would be caught in the spatial dislocation if he was not careful.

Three months later, Ding Huan felt relieved.

During these few months, Tieguo encountered spatial dislocations seventeen times and spatial blades thirty-one times.

Without exception, all of them were avoided, except for one time when it was touched by a ray of spatial blade.

Just as Ding Huan expected, the space blade hit the iron pot with just a clear sound, without any effect at all.

In addition, Tieguo and Swamp Tide missed each other twice.

In a few months, Ding Huan's spiritual power was condensed again. His cultivation did not increase, but his formation level rose to a higher level.

"If we don't take the iron pot, this three-month journey may take us thirty years." Wen Zhixi couldn't help but sigh.

This billions of void swamps are so vast and boundless that even if it is just a swamp, they may not be able to walk through it.

Ding Huan nodded, but he believed it would take more than thirty years.

Even though the speed of the iron pot is only one tenth now, this one tenth of the speed is definitely faster than the top-level lower-grade immortal weapon.

So even if they took thirty years, they would not be able to complete the three-month journey. It would take at least fifty years.

"Brother Ding, if we walk out of the Billion Void Swamp, where do you want to go?" Wen Zhixi saw that Ding Huan was not practicing, so she also did not practice and stayed with Ding Huan.

Now she has a clear goal, but unfortunately, the Yao Chi Jade Maiden Sect, as the name suggests, is a sect for female cultivators.

Otherwise, it would be nice if I could join the same immortal sect as Brother Ding.

Ding Huan smiled and said: "I have a dream, which is to follow the footsteps of my predecessors. No matter where I am, I will work hard for this dream."

Wen Zhixi didn't understand what Ding Huan said, and said casually: "I think everyone has this dream, to practice Taoism and live forever, and to be free to rule themselves."

Ding Huan did not explain that his dream was to find the traces of the Chinese gods.

Find out why the Nine Heavens collapsed, why the Chinese gods left the universe they were in, and the secret of reincarnation on Earth.

The last is immortality.

Ding Huan gradually increased the speed of the iron pot. Another two months passed, and Ding Huan's mind swept across an endless gray area.

Where is the end?
……

at the same time.

Fu Shuangping, whose face was as pale as paper, stopped. She sensed the call of her ancestors.

If it were half a year ago, she would have excitedly quickened her pace to get to her ancestors, but now she didn't know whether she should go over or not.

She lost the most important thing her ancestor asked her to take, the golden Taoist fruit.

After a long time, she changed direction and carefully walked towards the direction where her ancestor was calling.

Half a day later, Fu Shuangping stopped in front of an ordinary small mound of earth.

Standing outside the mound, it looks like a grave. There are small mounds of this kind everywhere in the marsh.

Standing in front of this mound of earth, Fu Shuangping's legs were shaking a little.

After a long time, she cut her forehead and a drop of blood fell on the mound of earth. Then she took out a jade talisman and activated it.

The mound of earth slowly cracked open, revealing a portal that only one person could enter.

Fu Shuangping gritted her teeth and walked into the portal.

The mound was closed again, and Fu Shuangping saw an altar with only a human-shaped gray bamboo root on it.

"Yes, it's really great that people from my Fu family can still walk here." The gray bamboo root actually made an old and hoarse voice.

Fu Shuangping quickly knelt on the ground: "Fu Shuangping greets the ancestors."

She knew that this was the location of the ancestor's clone. She even knew that this gray bamboo root was an inestimable treasure, the Soul Condensing Bamboo Root.

"Very good, now that you have seen me, don't call me ancestor, you can call me Ancestor Xing. Now, bring me the Law and Fruit." Zhugen spoke again.

Fu Shuangping said anxiously, "Yes, Ancestor Xing. The unfilial grandson met a cultivator named Ding Huan in the water. He was stronger than me. He forcibly chopped off my arm and took away the Dao Fruit of the Law..."

When Fu Shuangping saw that Xing Zu didn't care about his broken arm, he knew that he couldn't escape this disaster.

"What?" A furious cry almost burst Fu Shuangping's eardrums, and then a huge handprint slapped over.

Fu Shuangping was like a withered lotus, being knocked away by this handprint, hitting the stone wall, falling down, and spurting blood.

"I have spent so much energy and given you so many resources, but you can't even do such a small thing. What's the use of you?"

The angry voice almost tore the space apart, showing that the emotion was extremely violent.

“Ancestor Xing, it’s Shuang Ping who has no ability. That person’s cultivation is too strong, and his strength has even reached the Great Yi Immortal realm.

It is right for the unfilial grandson to die. I just hope that before I die, I can carve this man's appearance for Xing Zu. If Xing Zu can leave here in the future, he will avenge my grandson..."

There was extreme anxiety and anger in Fu Shuangping's words; she had indeed thought about death.

But even if he died, she would let Xing Zu kill Ding Huan in the future. After saying this, she did not wait for the Fu family ancestor to speak, and took the initiative to depict Ding Huan's appearance.

"Where is Ding Huan now?" The gray bamboo root finally calmed down some of his anger and asked in a cold tone.

Fu Shuangping immediately said, "He has also come to the water, and there is a woman with him. The woman's cultivation should be in the middle or late stage of Xuanxian."

"How long will it take for them to get here?" the gray bamboo root asked slowly.

Fu Shuangping hesitated for a moment and said, "I have used all the escape charms. They cannot walk as fast as I do. I estimate that they will appear nearby within a month."

"Very good, take this. As long as you lead them here, I will spare you this time." The gray bamboo root dropped a bamboo leaf.

Fu Shuangping took the bamboo leaf and was a little confused, but she didn't dare to ask.

Sure enough, the gray bamboo root continued, "This is the Soul Seeking Leaf. As long as those two people appear within a radius of 100,000 miles, you can sense their aura.

Even if it is beyond this range, you can still sense it vaguely."

"Yes, grandson knows. As long as they dare to come, grandson will definitely lead Ding Huan here." Fu Shuangping stepped back carefully.

Having inherited the ancestor's legacy for such a long time, she knew something about the temper of this Xing Zu, so it was false to ask her to lure people here.

As long as she takes the bamboo leaves out, Xing Zu will definitely know when Ding Huan comes, and Xing Zu himself will come out to arrest him.

I guess Xing Zu should be able to leave the altar in a short time.

Fu Shuangping sighed, but unfortunately she didn't dare to escape.

Her inheritance was left by her ancestors. As long as she dared to escape, she would still die, or even die a more miserable death.

……

Fu Shuangping was still waiting for Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi in the water.

Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi had already crossed the water, and now they were walking out of the iron pot.

The two stood at the edge of the water, looking at the scene in front of them in shock.

This is an ocean, and the divine mind has no idea where this ocean extends to or how large its area is.

Waves hit the beach again and again, and their momentum seems even stronger than that of the swamp tide.

The reason why it is shocking is that the sea water in front of me is not blue, but gray.

What's even more strange is that no matter how big the waves are, they will disappear without a trace when they hit the edge of the water.

There is no coast between the Gray Sea and the swamp. If there must be a coast, it is the edge of the swamp.

"My spiritual thoughts can only penetrate three meters below the sea water before they are blocked." Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan with fear in her eyes.

Even if the endless water has no visible end, there is still hope of crossing it.

But when she saw the endless grey sea, she had a premonition that she would surely die if she entered the sea.

It is a feeling of insignificance in the face of the vastness, so small that one seems to not exist.

Ding Huan's spiritual sense could only penetrate a few hundred meters. He did not answer Wen Zhixi's words. This sea also gave him a feeling of being insurmountable.

Ding Huan raised his hand and a ball of sea water was brought up, but the sea water disappeared before it reached him.

"Brother Ding, the route map says that when we get to the Gray Sea, we need to use the materials on the Gray Sea to refine a ship. We can then take the ship to cross the Gray Sea..." Wen Zhixi didn't quite believe what he said.

She vaguely felt that this method was a bit ridiculous, but the previous parts of the route map were useful, so it shouldn't be a ridiculous method.

Ding Huan sneered: "This route map is nonsense."

"But the previous ones are all correct." Wen Zhixi knew that Ding Huan had the same idea as her, but she still couldn't help but say something.

Ding Huan said: "What you said before is correct, but this way of walking in the gray sea is nonsense."

"Why?" Wen Zhixi asked in confusion.

She had a feeling that there was something odd about this way of walking, but she couldn't tell why.

Ding Huan explained:
"Because that person had no intention of leaving behind a route map for people to actually cross the Billion Void Swamp. If I'm not mistaken, the person who left the route map is very likely in the swamp.

If we hadn't flown here in the iron pot, we would have most likely been discovered and intercepted by this person."

"Then can we use the iron pot to cross the sea?" Wen Zhixi knew that Ding Huan's iron pot was extraordinary. If they used the iron pot to cross the sea, they might be able to succeed.

Ding Huan grabbed some materials, made a wooden boat, and then threw it into the sea.

The next moment, the wooden boat slowly sank and then disappeared from the sea.

Wen Zhixi stared blankly at the gray sea, a sea without any buoyancy. It was the first time she had seen such a sea.

"Let's rest here for a while and wait until we come up with a solution." Ding Huan began to set up a protective formation.

This gray sea was too strange. He calculated it several times but all the results were blank.

The blank might be because he couldn't figure it out, or there was another possibility, that is, he had no future.
