She turned her head to look at the big sea turtle beside her, then worriedly checked her Immortal Dress. Only when she found it perfectly intact did she breathe a sigh of relief, casually tying up her long hair, while a rumbling sound emitted from her flat stomach.

It's not hunger;

It's just that her Qi inside had changed from too much inactivity.

Gao Huating dove into the seawater sharply, her form transforming into a stream that swept away the unconscious big sea turtle, disappearing in the Endless Sea within moments.

The two streams of light flew over and hovered nearby, revealing two Loose Cultivators in the True Immortal Realm. They each checked around without finding anything, leaving disgruntled.

A few hours later.

On an uninhabited small island, Gao Huating cautiously set up a Barrier on the beach, built a bonfire, and tied the turtle, still unconscious and resized to the size of a pot lid by her, next to the fire.

She harbored no ill intentions, just wanted to inquire from a 'local' about any news of her teacher and the Red Snake.

That Senior Bai Gu only cares about burying but not digging, which indeed is quite bothersome.

However, Gao Huating didn't simply walk away.

After those loosen cultivators left, she sneaked back and placed the Crystal Coffin at the site of her previous slumber, leaving an alarm inside.

The alarm only needed to capture a few specific target faces to alert her and could operate continuously for thirty years.

Now, she must ensure her own protection to avoid getting involved in bizarre events.

Gao Huating looked at the big sea turtle, silently apologizing, and took out a black talisman.

Painless Soul Searching!

This does not mean she has learned evil.

It's simply that her teacher taught her well.

Half an hour later.

"Alas."

She hugged her arms, wrapped them around her knees, and stared absentmindedly at the beach.

In a corner not far from the island, two figures quietly hid in the sea water, tightly holding weapons in their hands.

The two figures made gestures to each other, already prepared to launch an attack.

Suddenly, they heard some movement from the beach, cautiously halting their actions. Upon careful sensing, they realized the big sea turtle had awoken.

"Immortal, Immortal, spare my life, Immortal."

"Hmm?" Gao Huating turned her head to look at the big sea turtle, catching glimpses of the sea with her peripheral vision as thoughts flowed within her, already devising some strategies.

Though she couldn't tell if these two were here to trouble her, she planned to use her advantages, much like she occasionally pretended to be in the studio back in the day.

By pretending to be a little silly, people's expectation of her lowered, thus reducing the pressure on her.

...

The big sea turtle lay upside down on the beach, its injuries mostly healed.

Facing the immense cultivation disparity between them, the turtle, which was merely at the Primordial Immortal Realm, dared not flip itself.

With a puffing sound, its head transformed into a human face, and its four legs into limbs, very much like Gui Chengxiang, albeit resembling a plump middle-aged woman.

The Turtle Immortal hurriedly said, "Immortal, I was forced by that villain, hoping to flee to Sea Eye to escape the villain's pursuit. Unexpectedly, I disturbed your peaceful cultivation, Immortal. Please spare my life! I am willing to serve you for a hundred years to repay your life-saving grace!"

Gao Huating didn't speak, instead peeled the roasted prawns.

Turtle Immortal's lips trembled a few times, shouting again, "Immortal… my meat doesn't taste good, it's astringent and sticks to teeth… I know a place with lots of tasty fish…"

"Where is this place?" Gao Huating asked calmly.

Turtle Immortal shivered, "This is the East Sea, the Endless Sea, to the east of the Immortal Realm. Heading east, there are several ancient countries, and 1.2 million miles further east lies the East Heavenly Pole… Going 400,000 miles west leads to the east coast of the Immortal Realm…"

Gao Huating appeared intimidated by these numbers.

Adhering to a scientific and rigorous attitude, she asked, "A mile, in your concept, how far exactly is it?"

Turtle Immortal was utterly bewildered.

She blinked a few times, daring to ask, "Immortal, are you intentionally testing…"

"Hmm, not bad," Gao Huating nodded lightly, calmly gazing at the bonfire, speaking gently, "I'm assessing if you are a creature of the Immortal Realm, if not, you'll be treated as an Outer Heaven Demon."

"Yes! I am, Immortal!"

Turtle Immortal quickly replied:

"A mile is 1,800 feet, a foot is about this long, ten feet make a zhang, a mile equals 180 zhang, Immortal!"

Gao Huating showed a moment of realization.

The Immortal Realm's unit is akin to those in the Xu Realm and True Realm.

Indeed, the Xu Realm and True Realm rely on cultivation, supported by Loose Immortals dispatched by the Immortal Realm to disseminate Cultivation Techniques. Referencing Mao Mo, the Immortal Realm's metric system generally maintains consistency with those in the Xu and True Realms.

Gao Huating nodded slightly, "Then I'll test you again, how many Great Immortal Palaces are there in this world?"

"Eight Great Immortal Palaces! The Dark Sect and Heavenly Net and Heavenly Dao Doglegs are two major forces that can stand alongside the Eight Great Immortal Palaces!"

"Are there any major forces nearby?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The Ancient Dragon Palace is said to be near the Sea Eye, but no one can locate it! Now, there are over ten Immortal Countries opened by marine species at the sea bottom, but they all are vassals to the sects on the East Sea Immortal Island."

Turtle Immortal muttered:

"I also served in those Immortals Countries before, but the rules were too many over there, and you have to work according to the faces of Human Race Immortals. Later, I ran off to become a Loose Cultivator myself…"

Gao Huating wondered, "This area doesn't fall under any Immortal Palace's jurisdiction?"

"It does, of course, the Immortal Realm has eight directions, corresponding to the Eight Great Immortal Palaces.

The eastern regions generally adhere to the Feather God Palace's command.

However, Feather God Palace wouldn't likely send people to such remote corners, the Eight Great Immortal Palaces all occupy treasures and each has their own small world."
