The majority of islands were desolate and uninhabited, with only a few larger islands possessing villages and towns, their populations paling in comparison to those of the Nine Continents.
"Any island that has a village or a town will have at least one cultivator at the Qi Refinement Realm. It's not just Loose Cultivators; it seems they serve a protective, guardian role."
Zhou Yi's Divine Sense swept over the island, and the cultivators there were none the wiser.
The flight of a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator was slow, unable to cross the vast sea, providing little useful information.
Half a month later.
The Yellow Bull skimmed across the sea for many miles before finally, on a certain island, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was discovered.
The island wasn't large, shaped like a crescent moon, with a Daoist temple built in the center.
