The majority of the buildings on the island resembled the reddish coral, indicating some modifications made later on.

After disembarking, the burly man cast a glance at Jian Wushuang. He could sense Jian Wushuangs extraordinary strength from the earlier push, which explained why he didn’t press the matter further.

Jian Wushuang, however, didn’t pay much attention to this. Upon reaching Redwood Island, he headed straight for the island’s shops.

There, he could find maps of the surrounding areas of Redwood Island, and he needed one.

The nearby waters were teeming with Emperor-level demonic beasts, and even tier 4 Emperor-level beasts frequently appeared.

If a Dao Lord wanted to venture into the inner sea, they would need an Emperor to lead the way. Emperors took the meat, and the Dao Lord followed, sipping the soup.

After his experience on the ship, he decided it would be better to change his appearance. Sometimes, being too weak was a disadvantage.

Entering a narrow alley, he emerged as an Emperor emitting a formidable aura. His appearance underwent significant changes, with long hair transformed into shoulder-length locks. Clad in a white robe adorned with dragon patterns and golden edges, he exuded the dignified aura of an Emperor.

As he walked down the street again, many people avoided him, refraining from approaching for casual conversations.

Surveying the surroundings, he arrived at the largest shop on the entire Redwood Island.

This was the establishment of a considerable force in the Western Sea, known as the ‘Stellar Pavilion’.

Though termed a significant force, it was, in reality, quite average. In Tiannan, it might not even qualify as a small force, probably lacking even a few tier 4 Emperors.

Upon entering the shop, his Emperor’s aura was unmistakably revealed. A young woman quickly approached to extend her welcome.

“This Senior, are you looking to sell or buy treasures?” The young girl, carefully selected for her exceptional appearance, outstanding temperament, and formidable strength, inquired.

After all, only those at the level of Dao Lords could be found on this island.

Jian Wushuangs expression remained unchanged. He glanced around the grand hall and calmly replied, “Call your shopkeeper here.”

He had no interest in any of the items displayed above. His main purpose was to purchase sea area maps and gather some information—things unsuitable for public display. Having a little girl introduce him wouldn’t yield much useful information.

Soon, an elderly man in his sixties walked out from the rear hall. When he looked at Jian Wushuang, a kind smile appeared on his face.

Jian Wushuang’s revealed strength was that of a tier 3 Emperor, and not just any tier 3, but a peak-level tier 3 Emperor.

Such a presence was rare on Redwood Island. The old man himself was only at the tier 3 level, at best a top-level force.

Seeing Jian Wushuang, he naturally showed respect.

“l wonder what treasures our friend is looking to acquire!” The old man approached and made a welcoming gesture.

The two of them moved to the rear hall.

Jian Wushuang didn’t bother with pleasantries and took the main seat directly.

Taking a gentle sip of tea, Jian Wushuang spoke, “The map and information about the surroundings.”

The map referred to the maritime map of the surrounding area, while the information included details about major powers, certain powerful individuals, and formidable sea creatures within the region.

The aged man understood that someone of Jian Wushuangs caliber required uncommon information and maps. Without hesitation, he immediately presented a map that was not circulated locally, showing great sincerity.

Jian Wushuang accepted the jade slip handed over to him.

It was an exceptionally detailed and expansive map, encompassing regions beyond the higher realms and spanning vast territories.

It would take hundreds of years for an Emperor to traverse it all.

The map also featured numerous markings indicating the locations of formidable sea creatures, satisfying Jian Wushuangs expectations.

Taking out a sesame- sized godstone and placing it on the table, Jian

Wushuang pushed it slowly toward the old man, saying calmly, “Here’s 500,000 godstones.”

The old man’s eyes brightened upon hearing this but shook his head nonetheless.

Jian Wushuang paused, surprised. Wasn’t five hundred thousand sufficient?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford a higher sum, but he didn’t want to arouse suspicion about his identity. Offering 500,000 was already quite generous. An ordinary tier 3 Emperor was valued at just a million godstones.

“Not enough?” Jian Wushuang inquired, puzzled.

The old man smiled and said, “This is your first visit to our Stellar Pavilion.

Consider this map a free gift, my friend.”

“Excuse me, I don’t want to owe anyone any debts!” Jian Wushuang shook his head and casually took out a mustard seed. He continued, “Here’s another

500,000. Just give me a summary of the information in the nearby waters.” Jian Wushuang had no intention of making friends with the other party.

Both were Emperors, possessing the demeanor of strong individuals. After Jian Wushuang declined, the old man didn’t say much either.

He handed a jade slip containing recorded information about the surrounding area to Jian Wushuang and accepted a mustard seed in return.

“Information plus a map, 500,000 will do.”

Jian Wushuang didn’t refuse. Since you don’t want it, I’ll take it back.

After thanking the old man, he left the store directly.

The old man watched Jian Wushuangs departing figure and turned upstairs, saying respectfully, “Miss, that person seems too indifferent!”

“No matter, a tier 3 Emperor can’t help me!” A voice came from upstairs, sounding clear but also carrying fatigue and loneliness.

Jian Wushuang didn’t stay on the island for long.

After symbolically purchasing some treasures, he left Redwood Island.

There were many islands in the Western Sea, but few had residents.

When he arrived, some people remembered Jian Yi, but when he left, no one noticed.

Glancing at the collected information, Jian Wushuang prepared to head to the Swirling Sea.

With a map to provide clear direction and the information being the key, he was ready to go.

The Swirling Sea, its formation dating back countless epochs, held within its depths swirling currents.

Legend spoke of a colossal beast suppressed beneath, causing the tumultuous waves.

However, when a tier 5 Emperor ventured deep within, there was no behemoth to be found—only a natural occurrence.

Jian Wushuangs destination was precisely this place.

The heart of the whirlpool remained uninhabited, ideal for him to hunt sea monsters. The depths concealed numerous demonic beasts, numbering in the billions.

Had he performed such a blood sacrifice in Tiannan, even with the cooperation of the Kui Organization, he would eventually be hunted down by vengeful experts.

Despite his current strength, he lacked the certainty to swagger freely in Tiannan.

Moreover, with the breakthrough in the Extreme Dao and the complete suppression of the devouring malevolent thoughts, he refrained from wanton slaughter unless someone blocked his path—such as now.

Jian Wushuang halted in mid-air, observing the seven individuals obstructing his way.

“Friend, are you heading to the Swirling Sea?” The leader wore a smile, appearing harmless.

Seven tier 3 Emperors?

Jian Wushuang was surprised. According to the intelligence reports, the Swirling Sea, even if unique, shouldn’t attract a group of Emperors.

Why was he so unlucky to encounter seven tier 3 Emperors all at once?

Jian Wushuang’s lips moved slightly, intending to inquire, but Bai Junwang transmitted a message, “These people are suspicious; they seem to be members of the Monster race.’

The seven Emperors grew impatient as they watched Jian Wushuang hesitate to speak.

“Lost your voice, huh?” one of them sneered, extending an arm that spanned a hundred feet, delivering a palm strike toward Jian Wushuang..
