Chapter 518: My Surname is Yi

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tsk! Tsk!

As expected, the thunderbolt whizzed down. It penetrated the ancient coffin and went straight down, disappearing in the sea—as if this ancient coffin was transparent.

Jiang Yi sniffled, and his mind was brainstorming. Soon, he cleared his mind and remembered what happened.

Just now, he entered an inexplicable state, crossed the Thunder Sea unknowingly, and even was way ahead of the demon thearch. Once he exited the Thunder Sea, he was pulled to this small boat by this young lady. Judging by the current situation, she meant no harm to him. In addition, this small boat was very magical, and the young lady said that even the demon thearch couldn’t hurt him if he was inside the boat!

Jiang Yi forced himself to calm down. He cupped his hands at the young lady and said sincerely, “Jiang Yi thanks my lady for saving my life!”

The purple-haired maiden didn’t show any emotion, she replied indifferently, “You are welcome. I saved your life because I want to ask you something.”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands again and said gravely, “Please, my lady.”

The young lady pointed towards the back and said apathetically, “Just now, when you crossed the Thunder Sea, you could easily anticipate where the thunderbolts were falling. What kind of magic did you use?”

“This...”

Jiang Yi didn’t know how to answer her. He himself was still at a loss. How could he explain it to her?

The purple-haired young lady saw that Jiang Yi remained silent and wasn’t looking at her directly. She thought that he wasn’t willing to share, and so she sneered and waved her hand. “Alright, if you don’t want to say, then don’t. I’m just asking. You and I both belong to the human race. When you were hunted by the demon clan—out of humanitarian concerns, I should save you.”

Jiang Yi quickly nodded repeatedly. “Em, my lady is a righteous person. If you can use my help in the future, just ask.”

“Alright, you can stay here. After the Desolate East Sea, it is the Phoenix Cry Continent. I’ll get you to the continent. You have to rely on yourself for the journey after that.”

The young lady said indifferently before she closed her eyes and sat cross-legged. She didn’t speak again.

Jiang Yi was suddenly struck by an idea. She sounded like she was quite familiar to the world outside. It would be best if she could give him a ride. However, based on her tone, she would help him cross this sea region at most.

Still, Jiang Yi was very grateful to this young lady. Of course, he was still uneasy. The demon thearch was about to catch him, could this small boat really withstand his attack?

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged. It was a narrow boat. Each of them sat on one end of the boat. Jiang Yi could faintly smell the young lady’s pleasant scent. Jiang Yi felt a bit awkward after sitting for a while, but it looked like she was cultivating. This made Jiang Yi slightly more comfortable.

The small boat was sailing very fast, which was at twice the speed of Jiang Yi. In estimation, it was almost as fast as a peak-stage Vajra Realm martial expert. To Jiang Yi’s amazement, he clearly saw a few sea demons through that semi-transparent shield, but they turned a blind eye to the boat... as if they never saw the small boat.

Such a magical small boat! If the demon thearch can’t see us as well when he comes, I’ll be completely safe.

Jiang Yi was amazed in secret. However... if he knew that this—in fact—wasn’t a small boat but an ancient coffin, he would be even more astonished. This young lady had worn clothes and put on a mask. Additionally, Jiang Yi only glanced at the ancient coffin in the Sea of Death before, and so he didn’t recognize her.

Just like this, Jiang Yi’s thoughts were running wild; and he was constantly on tenterhooks on the way. The young lady opposite him was meditating throughout. There wasn’t a single trace of aura of a martial expert on her. She was like a feeble girl with no power.

Jiang Yi didn’t have particular ideas. This small boat was so magical that it had to be a cardinal treasure. It was impossible that this young lady—who wandered around the sea on her own—didn’t have any means to protect herself. She saved him, and he owed her a great favor. Naturally, he wouldn’t hurt this young lady or take away her treasures.

After one day...

It was a peaceful trip. Jiang Yi’s troubled heart slowly calmed down, too. They had encountered many sea demons on the way, but none noticed them or attacked the small boat. Jiang Yi felt that he was in a dream. For the first time, he experienced the magic and power of the outside world.

Swish!

After one and a half day, a figure shot from behind. It had a very intimidating aura. Even with the separation by the small boat, that aura still permeated, making Jiang Yi’s heart as tense as a string.

The Lion Chi Demon Thearch was here!

The purple-haired young lady, who had been sitting cross-legged with her eyes shut, opened her eyes at this moment. However, her pearly eyes showed no sign of panic. Looking at the incoming Lion Chi Demon Thearch on the sky, she lifted her lips gently and said, “Jiang... Jiang Yi, you don’t have to be nervous. Even a high-grade demon thearch can’t find us, let alone this mid-grade demon thearch. Only a peak-stage demon thearch can feel our presence.”

Jiang Yi was influenced by her detached sentiment and relaxed a bit. However, his eyes were still fixed on that Lion Chi Demon Thearch through the semi-transparent shield.

He was getting closer and closer!

The Lion Chi Demon Thearch soon caught up. He was slightly faster than the small boat, but he wasn’t even aware of its existence. He flew past it in a straight line and went far away.

“Huuu...”

Jiang Yi released a deep breath. Wiping the cold sweat off his head, he cupped his hands at the purple-haired young lady. “My lady’s treasure is so amazing. It is beyond imagination.”

“Ke-Ke!”

For the first time, she let out laughter. Unfortunately, her face was covered by the mask, and Jiang Yi would never detect with his divine senses presumptuously. If he provoked this young lady, she might throw him out of the boat; and the Lion Chi Demon Thearch was probably going to find him soon.

After laughing gently, the young lady said dryly, “Jiang Yi, this is a very big world which is filled with countless magical treasures and martial experts. There are so many magical skills out there that you may never hear of their names. You’ll get to know them in the future. May I give you a word of advice? When you are making a living and wandering from places to places, you must learn to be humble! High-key, arrogant people often die very fast...”

Jiang Yi nodded and said gratefully, “Jiang Yi will remember my lady’s teachings.”

The young lady nodded slightly before she closed her eyes and meditated again. She didn’t talk to Jiang Yi anymore. The ancient coffin sailed forward rapidly. Jiang Yi looked around the surroundings for quite some time and grew a little bored. He decided to also meditate and comprehend sorcery.

Time passed away like the flowing water. In a twinkling of an eye, half a month had passed.

The ancient coffin moved forward like a ghost. It had been an obstructive journey. Even when they passed the Thunder Sea, the ancient coffin went forward easily and was not affected at all. They often ran into sea demons along the way—there were even two demon kings, but all couldn’t sense the presence of the ancient coffin.

The young lady had been in seclusion all the time. Jiang Yi was either in a trance of comprehending sorcery skills. It was quite a carefree life.

On one day, Jiang Yi was still meditating. Suddenly, he felt a tremble of his body. By the time he opened his eyes, he realized he was no longer in the small boat.

He glanced around purposelessly and even used his divine senses. As expected, he found nothing. Even a demon thearch couldn’t detect that ancient coffin, let alone him.

“Jiang Yi, the Phoenix Cry Continent is in the front. I still have other business and won’t take you any further. Let’s part here!”

The young lady’s cold voice suddenly came from the sky. Jiang Yi stabilized himself on the sea surface before he bowed solemnly towards the direction the sound came from. He said in a deep voice, “Once again, I express my gratitude to my lady. Might I know your name? If there is an opportunity in the future, Jiang Yi will definitely repay your favor!”

“Ke-Ke!”

The young lady smiled faintly and her voice faded away. Obviously, that ancient coffin had sailed forward. “My surname is Yi; I’m the third child of my family. If you can reach the East Imperial Continent, just ask around; and you will know who I am. You don’t need to repay the favor. If you can reach the Heaven Monarch Realm, come to find me. I’ll confer you a bright future...”

The beauty was already far away, but Jiang Yi was still standing at the same place, dumbfounded. He murmured in a daze, “Surname is Yi? Isn’t my mother’s surname also Yi? They are both on the East Imperial Continent; are they related?”
