The war between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect is nothing short of a disaster for the lower-level cultivators.

In every battle, hundreds and thousands of cultivators perish, and the battlefield is like a meat grinder, harvesting lives.

Although Chen Nan used Divine Calculator's appearance, his cultivation could not be disguised, so he was sent to the battlefield, leading ten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

On a small island, several cultivators hid in a grove, and an array covered their aura and figures. Not far away, there were cultivators from the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect fighting fiercely.

"Boss, is it really okay not to go out and hunt demon cultivators?"

A young cultivator, with eyes full of longing for battle achievements, came to Chen Nan and asked quietly.

Chen Nan smiled coldly: "If you want to die, go ahead. With your cultivation, going out is just delivering yourself to death."

"But we can't do nothing either!" He spoke with a bit of urgency.

"Alas, you're still too young." Chen Nan looked at his ten cultivators beside him, shaking his head helplessly. If these people knew their deaths were only to lure the Demon Clan out, they probably wouldn't be itching to get themselves killed.

"If you want to go, I won't stop you, but don't blame me for not warning you. It's nine deaths and one life. Why don't you just follow me?"

The young cultivator wanted to rush out, but after thinking about it, he stayed by Chen Nan's side.

In the distance, the Righteous Alliance and Demon Sect cultivators had already burst into true fire. Several Golden Core Realm cultivators fell, and the rest were fighting desperately. As for the Foundation Establishment Realm little cultivators, they were all long dead.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Seeing they could not compete with the enemy, the remaining Demon Sect cultivators turned to flee. The Righteous Alliance cultivators chased them and quickly left the area.

"Quick, follow me!"

Seeing the situation, Chen Nan quickly put away the array and led his ten little followers to the battlefield: "Quick, don't leave a single storage bag behind!"

The young cultivator hesitated a bit: "Boss, isn't what we're doing not very righteous?"

Chen Nan slapped his forehead: "If you don't want to do it, leave. I won't force you!"

He moved quickly, collecting all the storage bags from the Golden Core Realm cultivators, leaving the storage bags of the Foundation Establishment Realm dead to his little followers.

Just when they were gleefully looting the corpses, a cheeky voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh, there are people faster than Daoist? Little brats, leave some for Daoist!"

Chen Nan froze upon hearing the familiar voice, quickly turning around to see the rapidly approaching Divine Calculator.

When Divine Calculator ran over, he also saw Chen Nan, and the two stared in disbelief.

The cultivators following Chen Nan looked at their boss and then at Divine Calculator, utterly bewildered why there were two identical people.

"Who are you? Imitating Daoist, do you want to die?" Divine Calculator roared furiously, pointing at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan helplessly pursed his lips, never expecting to meet the real deal here.

Just as the atmosphere between them became delicate, several auras quickly approached from afar. Both shouted in unison: "Things are tight, let's scram!"

Soon they left the place, hiding in the distance.

Divine Calculator followed up, looking at Chen Nan with curiosity: "Seems you really understand Daoist, truly identical. I think I know who you are."

If one thinks about it briefly, someone who knows him so well and can change appearances undetected even by Nascent Soul Realm cultivators must be someone specific.

"Nasty Taoist, long time no see?" Chen Nan laughed and said.

Divine Calculator rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "You better change back to your previous appearance. Seeing someone identical smiling at me gives me the creeps."

Chen Nan, ignoring the people around him, reverted to his original appearance, stunning his ten little followers whose mouths could fit an egg.

"You...you're Jue Mingzi, right?"

The young cultivator, who had been eager to fight before, suddenly jumped up, staring intently at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan was startled: "You know me?"

"I've heard about your feats of solo killing over a thousand demon cultivators and clashing with Demon Sect prodigy Xiao Lie!" The young cultivator shouted excitedly.

Beside him, Divine Calculator spoke in a mocking tone: "Oh wow, seems like the number of people admiring you is just as many as those wanting to kill you."

"I knew it was you, I heard you came to the Endless Sea, but never managed to find you. Didn't expect you make enemies just as quickly as on the Nine Provinces Continent."

Knowing Divine Calculator's antics long ago, Chen Nan paid no heed to his words, feeling rather pleased inside.

Although Divine Calculator had tricked him before, that was all in the past, and meeting again in the Endless Sea is a kind of fate.

That cheeky face even seemed a bit endearing now.

"What brings you to the Endless Sea too?"

Divine Calculator glanced at those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, took Chen Nan aside, and spoke mysteriously: "I am chasing the Demon Ancestor!"

"Demon Ancestor? You're pretty bold!" Chen Nan gave him a thumbs up.

Daring to track the Demon Ancestor requires courage beyond ordinary.

"Of course, haven't you seen who Daoist truly is." Divine Calculator chuckled smugly: "But I lost track of him here and suspect he went to the Inner Sea."

"Inner Sea?" Chen Nan widened his eyes, looking confused.

Divine Calculator scoffed, glancing at him: "You don't even know about the Inner Sea? Honestly, I don't know how you've been mingling around the Endless Sea for so long."

"Quick, tell me more." Chen Nan asked without reservation.

Divine Calculator, somewhat exasperated, had to explain everything he knew.

It turns out the Endless Sea isn't a single piece. Once, someone attempted to measure its vastness by flying in one direction, spending a lifetime to finally reach the end of the sea.

And at the end, the sea split open, with a deep abyss halting all living creatures, so it's known as the "Heavenly Cutting Abyss."

"But that isn't the real end of the sea." Divine Calculator's tone shifted: "It's just the end of the Outer Sea."

"Legend has it that beyond the Heavenly Cutting Abyss is the Inner Sea. But it's separated by an invisible barrier, and no one knows what the Inner Sea truly looks like."

"I suspect the Demon Ancestor went to the Inner Sea."

Chen Nan felt a shock, both awed by the enormity of the Endless Sea, with a cultivator spending a lifetime to reach its end, and intrigued by the Inner Sea.

"Didn't you say there's a barrier separating the Inner Sea and Outer Sea?"

Divine Calculator sneered: "The Demon Ancestor is an ancient monster who's lived countless years. Who knows if he has a way to break through the barrier?"

"So, what do you say? Want to join Daoist in visiting the Inner Sea?"
