Free Web NovelChapter 2058: Chapter 2058: Lost Direction! I Know Where! I’m Going to Rest First!
Mu Jinyu was preparing to leave this place.
But suddenly thought of a very crucial question.
Which direction is the Central Domain in?
If they hadn’t encountered the Underworld Ghost Sea along the way and kept heading forward, he would naturally know where the direction to the Central Domain was.
But during their journey, they had boarded the Underworld Ghost Ship, changing directions several times.
In the end, they broke through the boundary of the Ghost Sea and returned to the Forbidden Dead Sea.
Who dares to say they’re still in the original position where they fell into the Underworld Ghost Sea?
So if he wants to go to the Central Domain now, which direction should he take?
Mu Jinyu felt a wave of frustration.
If they were not in the Forbidden Dead Sea but in an ordinary sea area, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.
In ordinary seas, even if lost, it would be easy for him, as a cultivator, to determine the four cardinal directions.
But the Forbidden Dead Sea has the effect of forbidding flight and also makes people lose their way, unable to find a direction.
Therefore, in the early days, when people crossed the sea to other regions, it was quite troublesome.
They could easily end up in the wrong place.
It wasn’t until later, as people continually summarized their experiences, that mistakes became less common.
But even the most experienced sailors, facing such an encounter, probably wouldn’t know how to reach the Central Domain.
"Never mind, let’s just leave this area for now."
Mu Jinyu felt a headache coming on, and sensing the sea beasts drawing closer, he chose a direction with fewer sea beasts and charged forward.
A dozen minutes later.
Mu Jinyu and the others had already left the previous sea area far behind.
On this peaceful sea, they could still faintly hear the roars of sea beasts from behind.
It seemed the departure from the Underworld Ghost Sea had left something behind.
That’s probably why those sea beasts went crazy, right?
Mu Jinyu guessed.
"Jinyu, where are we going now?"
While Mu Jinyu was pondering, Wang Qingxue curiously asked him.
Mu Jinyu replied, "Of course, we’re heading to the Central Domain, but I don’t know where the direction is now, I don’t know how to get there!"
While leaving that sea area and avoiding those sea beasts, Mu Jinyu had actually tried other things.
Like letting this ghost ship sail automatically to the Central Domain.
Just like when they were in the Underworld Ghost Sea, he had the ghost ship leave, and it automatically found its direction and eventually got them out of the Underworld Ghost Sea successfully.
But this time, his command didn’t evoke any reaction from the Underworld Ghost Ship.
Obviously, the artifact spirit of this ghost ship was indeed severely damaged, not remembering how to navigate the Forbidden Dead Sea.
Later, Mu Jinyu also asked Ming.
Thinking it might know how to find the Central Domain or know its direction.
Unfortunately, Ming also did not know how to go.
So he really had no way out.
He considered whether to just pick a direction and start heading there.
If they ended up in the Western Region or Northern Region, it wouldn’t matter; once the direction was known, they could make their way back to the Central Domain.
Although it would waste several months, it seemed like the only option.
Along the way, if luck was a bit better, maybe the random direction he chose would take them directly to the Central Domain?
Though the possibility was slim, it existed!
Wang Qingxue, hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, laughed, "So you got lost, huh? No wonder you were sailing randomly; I thought you were planning to go somewhere first!"
"Hmm?!" Mu Jinyu sensed something was off from Wang Qingxue’s words, furrowing his brow, and asked her, "Do you know the direction to the Central Domain?"
"Yes, I do!"
Wang Qingxue answered promptly, her voice crisp, and then pointed in a direction, saying to Mu Jinyu, "It’s this way. If we go this way, we’ll reach the Central Domain in about seven days!"
"Really?"
Mu Jinyu, hearing Wang Qingxue’s words, felt something was not quite right and asked somewhat incredulously.
"Of course it’s true; I’m also heading to the Central Domain, so why would I lie to you?" Wang Qingxue, seeing Mu Jinyu skeptical of her, pouted, feeling a bit aggrieved.
"How do you know the direction then?" Mu Jinyu curiously asked.
Wang Qingxue frowned slightly and said, "I don’t know, but I just know."
"Alright then!"
Hearing Wang Qingxue’s words, Mu Jinyu knew she was hiding something, but the direction to the Central Domain was likely correct.
So her hidden matters didn’t concern him.
After all, he too had kept many things from her.
Both of them were merely ordinary friends, and he had no intention of delving into Wang Qingxue’s secrets.
"Okay, then I’ll head this way!"
Mu Jinyu then controlled the Underworld Ghost Ship to speed towards the direction Wang Qingxue had pointed out.
Even though the Underworld Ghost Ship looked broken and on the verge of collapse, it was incredibly fast.
Much quicker than the sea ship they had been on before.
Almost twice as fast.
Wang Qingxue, feeling the speed of the ghost ship, couldn’t help but be delighted, "I didn’t expect this ghost ship to be so fast; this way, maybe we can reach the Central Domain in four or even three days!"
"Hmm, hopefully!"
Mu Jinyu gently nodded in response, then said to her, "I’m a bit tired, planning to go inside to rest. Are you coming?"
Wang Qingxue shook her head, "No, no, I’ll stay outside."
Back when they were in the Underworld Ghost Sea, Wang Qingxue had thought of staying outside, afraid to explore inside the ghost ship with Mu Jinyu.
But later, seeing the terrifying Ghost Sea outside, she ended up going with Mu Jinyu.
But now they had left the Underworld Ghost Sea and were in the Forbidden Dead Sea.
Although the sky in the Forbidden Dead Sea was quite dark, it wasn’t as scary as the Underworld Ghost Sea.
So, Wang Qingxue didn’t want to go back inside the ghost ship’s cabin with Mu Jinyu and preferred staying outside enjoying the sea breeze.
As for whether standing on the deck would get her noticed by sea beasts and eaten?
She wasn’t worried about that.
This Underworld Ghost Ship was not comparable to the sea ship they had previously taken.
That sea ship, equivalent to the level of a Creation Divine Weapon, was coated with a special substance to repel sea beasts and block human scent.
But if sea beasts did attack, their ship would still sink.
However, the Underworld Ghost Ship was different. Although it wasn’t coated with substances that repelled sea beasts or concealed human scent, its defenses were very strong.
Just earlier, when Mu Jinyu drove the ghost ship through those rampaging sea beasts, it easily crushed some Life and Death Realm and Creation Realm sea ships in its path.
And against the attacks of other rampant sea beasts, the Underworld Ghost Ship easily intercepted them.
Thus, Wang Qingxue believed that standing on the deck, even if seen by sea beasts, would not cause any mishaps.
So she didn’t want to enter the dark cabin with Mu Jinyu again.
"Alright! Just take care of yourself!"
Mu Jinyu also understood this reasoning, so he didn’t insist Wang Qingxue join him in the cabin and, after reminding her, turned and walked towards the cabin!
This period had indeed been exhausting for him, having had the Earth Emperor Bone Qi forcibly extracted by the Earth Prince’s descendant’s skeleton, nearly costing him his life.
Although he eventually woke up and recovered through the Human Emperor Technique.
Mu Jinyu still felt very tired.
Earlier, because they were in the Underworld Ghost Sea, he didn’t dare to be careless for a moment and kept going.
But now, being back in the Forbidden Dead Sea, with more than a month’s sailing experience, he knew that although the Forbidden Dead Sea sounded terrifying, it was actually quite safe, allowing him to rest without worry.
