Pearl White Sand Islands.
The sun shone brilliantly and the waves rolled, but it was a place fraught with hidden dangers.
The area was relatively low-lying with severe geological faults. On three sides, tall islands rose in succession, stacking one upon another like oases in the ocean.
The Cultivators of the Thunder Pool Daoist Academy were the first to arrive. They began to set up a Teleportation Array, planning to head for the Great Wilderness Tomb Canyon.
However, they ran into a lot of trouble along the way.
"Don't touch that pearl!"
Sui Yuqing, her boots sinking into the crystalline sand, hurriedly stopped a Cultivator who was engraving the Array's inscriptions.
The Cultivator reacted a beat too slow. From within the snow-white pearl glowing on his hand, tiny tentacles shot out and pierced his fingers.
His hand began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the decay then spread to his entire arm!
SWISH!
