After leaving the Starshine Islands, Ji Chen headed northwest and, after four full days at sea, arrived near the northwest coast of the Central Ocean.
This journey was made possible by the Ocean Crown naval forces and Ji Chen's use of tidal acceleration, which significantly shortened the travel time compared to the usual one to two weeks it would have taken on a regular ship.
This vastness of the Central Ocean was truly astounding.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sea and sky merged into one.
When he saw a hint of brown amidst the usual blue and white in the distance, Ji Chen's heart relaxed.
They had arrived!
This marked their second journey to the mainland.
As they drew closer, more of the land became visible: rolling mountains, verdant trees, black cliffs, and seagulls hunting by the seashore.
However, this was evidently not their final destination.
