The Other Shore Flower will mature in half a month, but Wang Junze can't wait until then to set off.

Firstly, he has never been to the Nether Sea and needs to adapt to its environment beforehand. Secondly, given the flower's preciousness, there's a high chance that someone might lay in wait to set traps around it. It's better to arrive early than to be caught off guard.

Of course, before going, some preparations are necessary.

Such as clean freshwater, food, elixirs for healing wounds and restoring spiritual power, and... a map of the Nether Sea!

Although Wang Junze no longer lacks Spirit Stones, some things can't be bought with money alone. So he went directly to find the Master of All Things.

Even though Wang Junze only promised to sell one Other Shore Flower to the Master of All Things, it is genuinely priceless and rare to come by. This promise alone makes the Master of All Things compelled to help.

In just three days, the Master of All Things prepared everything Wang Junze needed.

Of course, Wang Junze spent a significant amount of Spirit Stones, totaling several hundred thousand.

Originally, Wang Junze didn't plan to bring anyone else out to sea, but Peng Ru insisted on joining him. Her reason was that while going out to sea is dangerous, it certainly holds more opportunities. She doesn't want to follow a slow path of cultivation but is willing to risk her life for fortune.

In this regard, Wang Junze isn't surprised. He had realized early on, during the ordeal with the Meng Family, that this woman was driven to madness by the experience!

It's hard to say if this madness is good or bad, but since she is willing to gamble her life, Wang Junze is naturally willing to give her the chance.

Flowers raised in a greenhouse cannot withstand storms.

The current decline of the Profound Moon Sword Sect proves this. Wang Junze is curious to see how far she can go.

As for the Liang siblings and other female disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Wang Junze arranged for them to stay at an inn instead of the Meng Family's residence.

Netherworld City is not a safe place. It's hard to say if anyone would target them while he is away. If they were captured and sold again, they might not have the courage to live.

Staying at the inn offers at least some protection and is naturally safer.

In any case, Wang Junze doesn't lack the Spirit Stones for this expense.

After completing these arrangements, Wang Junze boarded the Netherworld Flying Ship with Peng Ru and left Netherworld City to set sail.

As for Pei Haoran, the little fat boy, Wang Junze didn't choose to have him accompany them, only agreeing to meet him later on the island where the Other Shore Flower is located.

After all, such so-called brothers are not very reliable.

Leaving Netherworld City and heading east, it won't be long before reaching the Nether Sea.

Having always lived in the Northern Domain, Wang Junze has never seen the sea, let alone the unique Nether Sea.

When he finally reached the shore, he was astounded.

The Nether Sea is extremely special, shrouded in a thick fog over the entire sea, though the fog is thinner at the shore, so the sea's appearance is still visible.

Rivaling waves as far as the eye can see.

The grandeur and magnificence it presents are unimaginable to anyone who hasn't seen the sea, and indescribable by words.

Moreover, due to practicing Water Sword Intent, Wang Junze's feeling at this moment is more intense than others. He has a vague sense that practicing here might easily break through the previously impossible Water Sword Intent, which is an unexpected joy.

"Let's set sail!"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze immediately steered the Netherworld Flying Ship into the sea.

The Netherworld Flying Ship is designed specifically for exploring the Nether Sea. It can both fly and cruise like a ship in the sea, even faster than flying in the air.

As they gradually ventured deeper into the sea, Wang Junze soon noticed the fog covering the sea surface grew denser, visibility decreasing continuously, nearly making it difficult to discern directions.

Luckily, the Netherworld Flying Ship is equipped with a compass for navigation. Without it, no map would be useful, as there is no way to distinguish directions here.

There's one more thing that Wang Junze hasn't realized yet.

The Nether Sea itself conceals great dangers, with various demon beasts lurking below the sea surface. It's the Netherworld Flying Ship that masks their presence, preventing these beasts from noticing anyone passing by. Otherwise, just entering the sea would have led to countless attacks along the way.

Checking the map, Wang Junze quickly navigated toward the nearest island.

After about half an hour, Wang Junze set foot on the island.

This place isn't large, roughly a few hundred meters in size, and is a deserted island, easily visible in its entirety.

The one advantage is that the fog of the Nether Sea seems to only exist over the sea surface. Once on land, the fog dissipates, not affecting visibility.

However, even on this deserted island which seems empty, there are traces of human presence, evident from footprints and remnants of campfires.

"It seems this island is used for temporary stops and should be relatively safe."

Looking around, Peng Ru whispered, "Young lord, should we stop here?"

Everyone says the Nether Sea is dangerous, but after venturing so far out with Wang Junze, she hasn't encountered any anomalies, making Peng Ru curious.

"No rush, let's explore more..."

Stepping off the Netherworld Flying Ship, Wang Junze replied casually.

Just as the words left his mouth, a sudden white flash emerged from the nearby shore, fiercely attacking them.

Clang!

Not waiting for Wang Junze to strike, Peng Ru reacted immediately, wielding her sword against the white flash.

With a ringing sound, Peng Ru's grip on the sword almost slipped as she staggered a few steps before steadying herself.

Only at this moment did Wang Junze and Peng Ru see clearly that their assailant was a fish!

Only, this fish had a long, slender body resembling a sword, highly aggressive and extremely resilient. Despite enduring Peng Ru's sword strike, it wasn't killed, instead frantically bouncing toward the sea.

"Interesting... Could this be a demon beast?"

With a slight open of his palm, True Qi erupted from within Wang Junze, instantly pulling the fish back, grasping it in his hand.

The Swordfish's aura was faint, seemingly weaker than a low-tier demon beast, yet its attack just now was impressive. Without prior defense, even those at Condensing Truth might be killed!

This peculiar demon beast is something Wang Junze is encountering for the first time.

With the Swordfish captured, it even tried to bite Wang Junze's palm, but unfortunately, even without resisting, such an attack couldn't penetrate his defense.
