A vast, hazy mist covered the ocean where the water met the sky.
Across the Endless Vast Sea, amidst the churning waves, a small island suddenly appeared. It was about a thousand feet wide and cut through the water at high speed, almost as if it were alive.
Atop the island stood cages of various sizes, inside which thousands of Cultivators of different Cultivation levels were imprisoned like swine.
At that moment, an extremely faint spatial fluctuation flickered in the sky. A figure materialized out of thin air and began to fall, seemingly out of control.
Just before plunging into the ocean, the figure abruptly righted itself and hovered above the surface. His green robes were still clearly visible.
The newcomer was, of course, Chu Mu, freshly emerged from the Secret Realm. Even with his Golden Core Cultivation, he couldn't completely avoid the disorienting vertigo.
