As for cultivating the mind, it was even more extraordinary. The mental cultivation method consisted of fewer than a hundred words, yet it contained boundless mysteries between heaven and earth. Even a single character concealed countless profound secrets of the world. However, how much one could comprehend from it depended entirely on the cultivator's own insight.
In any case, the Art of Vein Seeking had thoroughly captivated Chu Feng. He felt that if he could fully master it, he would never have to worry about cultivation resources again. He might even rely on this art to become a supreme powerhouse, for he vaguely sensed that the Art of Vein Seeking seemed to conceal the secrets of heaven itself.
From that point on, Chu Feng dedicated his days entirely to cultivating the Art of Vein Seeking—and this devotion lasted for over two full months.
In those two months, the Treasure war chariot flew over countless desert plains, rivers and lakes, and even skimmed across small stretches of open sea.
After more than two months of nonstop, full-speed travel, Chu Feng's group finally set foot in the Eastern Sea Region.
"Chu Feng, Chu Feng!" At that moment, Chu Feng was inside his cabin, diligently studying the Art of Vein Seeking. But when Su Mei's sweet and excited voice kept calling out, he had no choice but to halt his cultivation.
"Xiao Mei, what is it?" Opening his eyes, Chu Feng found the two sisters—Su Mei and Su Rou—standing before him, their beautiful faces lit up with beaming smiles.
"Hehe, come look, come look—you'll see for yourself once you look!" Without explaining, Su Mei grabbed Chu Feng's hand and pulled him outside.
Once they stepped out of the cabin and reached the window, Chu Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and an equally excited look spread across his face.
Below the Treasure war chariot lay an endless expanse of ocean—yet this sea was entirely different from any Chu Feng had seen before.
The seawater was a deep, brilliant blue. Towering waves surged into the sky; even the smallest crests rose several meters high, while the massive ones soared to hundreds of meters. The ferocity was truly staggering.
Even from inside the war chariot, Chu Feng could hear the roaring waves and howling winds. A sea like this was absolutely not a place ordinary mortals could survive in. This was unmistakably the Eastern Sea Region.
"The Eastern Sea Region is boundless and infinite. The only things that exist above its waters are islands—but those islands are several times larger than the entire Nine Provinces Continent."
"The Eastern Sea Region is unfathomably deep. It is said that enormous and ferocious sea beasts dwell on the ocean floor, and even powerful demon beast clans live deep beneath the surface year-round."
"Likewise, the seabed holds countless ancient ruins, and treasures beyond number." Jiang Wushang spoke up from the side.
"It really is extraordinary. Entering this place truly feels like arriving in an entirely different world." Chu Feng was genuinely moved, as though his life had reached an entirely new starting point.
The Eastern Sea Region was vast. Although the Four Seas Academy was located in a relatively eastern position, it would still take many more days to reach it.
After more than ten additional days of travel, an island finally came into view, and on that island, they at last spotted signs of human presence.
"Look ahead—a big inn! We're not far from the Four Seas Academy anyway, so why don't we land and have a meal? Let's taste what the food of the Eastern Sea Region is like." Jiang Wushang pointed forward and called out loudly.
Looking in the direction he indicated, there was indeed a massive inn. Numerous war chariots and exotic mounts were parked outside, and some were even demon beasts bound with barrier ropes. Many figures moved about as well—even from a distance, it was clear that nearly all of them were martial cultivators. Many of the war chariots were pulled by demon beasts.
And this was no mere inn—it was practically a small city. At least, an inn of this scale was something none of them had ever seen on the Nine Provinces Continent. Having so many cultivators gathered at a single inn was equally unprecedented for them.
"Wow, so many people! Let's go down and check it out! I've been eating dry rations for so long—I really want to taste some proper food." Su Mei's face was full of anticipation as she chimed in.
At this, Zhang Tianyi, who was currently controlling the war chariot, glanced at Chu Feng. When Chu Feng nodded, he activated the chariot with a thought and guided it straight into the grand inn.
When Chu Feng's group landed their Treasure war chariot within the inn grounds, it drew considerable attention. After all, Treasure weapons were invaluable treasures, and in the Eastern Sea Region, they were equally prized. Their particular war chariot, in particular, was exceedingly luxurious, so it naturally attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.
Some among them even harbored ill intentions from the very start. This location was still outside the Four Seas Academy's territory, situated in a remote area. Committing robbery and murder here, followed by silencing any witnesses, was rarely pursued. Many criminals loitered in such places, specifically targeting the weak for their nefarious deeds.
However, when Chu Feng's group stepped out from their Treasure war chariot, those with dark intentions had no choice but to abandon their plans.
Five young men and women—three at Heaven Martial level three, two at Heaven Martial level two. At their age and with that level of strength, they were considered quite formidable even in the Eastern Sea Region.
Some people, upon seeing Chu Feng's group, actually hurriedly backed away, a hint of wariness and fear flickering in their eyes.
Only a few particularly brazen individuals, drawn by the beauty of Su Rou and Su Mei, dared to steal an extra glance. But the moment they noticed Chu Feng's group looking displeased, they quickly averted their gazes, apologizing with apologetic smiles as they hurried off, deeply afraid of being taught a lesson.
"Seems like no matter where you go, people bully the weak and fear the strong," Zhang Tianyi remarked with a sardonic smile, watching the crowd that had been eyeing them hungrily moments ago but now scattered the moment their strength was revealed.
"The strong prey upon the weak—that's the only law of this world, and there are no exceptions anywhere," Chu Feng replied with a smile of his own.
"Welcome, honored guests! Are you here to stay the night, or for a meal?" Just then, a young man dressed as a server rushed over with a broad smile.
Truth be told, though he wore the outfit of a server, his attire was far more splendid than what servers wore on the Nine Provinces Continent—it hardly looked like something a commoner would wear.
But what truly astonished Chu Feng's group was that this server was actually a cultivator at the Yuan Wu Realm.
"So this is the Eastern Sea Region—even the servers are at the Yuan Wu Realm?" It was Su Mei who was the most shocked of all.
Her own cultivation had once been at the Yuan Wu Realm. If the Flame Pearl hadn't entered her body back then, she might still be at the Yuan Wu Realm today. Yet here, in the Eastern Sea Region, even a lowly server who fetched tea and water for customers was at the Yuan Wu Realm. It truly left her stunned—and more than a little unsettled.
