Chapter 2519: Are You the Only Smart One?
Just as everyone was pleasantly surprised, someone immediately raised an objection.
"Relying on Spiritual Energy tide for cultivation is indeed feasible, but it’s extremely dangerous."
"Cultivation practice needs to be stable, avoiding fluctuations. The harm caused by Spiritual Energy tide is continuous and unstable. If you’re cultivating at a crucial moment and suddenly there’s a surge, causing your mind to tremble and your practice to go awry, that would lead to big problems."
"If it were truly possible to cultivate freely, then being exiled to the Suffering Pray Sea wouldn’t be a punishment, would it? Wouldn’t it become a reward like the Pool of Will Power?"
Everyone’s freshly ignited hope was instantly extinguished.
Yes, if one could use such a rich Spiritual Energy tide to cultivate and advance rapidly, would coming here still be a punishment?
Although you could cultivate by taking risks, who can really bear the risks of cultivation?
If you’re not careful, everything could be lost!
Even Carson Flores, enduring the blade-like sensation on his skin, couldn’t predict when the irregular Spiritual Energy tide might cause a sharp pain that throws off your cultivation practice.
Someone shouted loudly, "Endure as much as you can, and when you really can’t bear the pain, use your magical treasure to protect yourself, take the time to quickly recover, and then endure the pain again."
"The first step is not to harvest Clam Pearls or to search for Market Island, but to get accustomed to the pain brought by the Spiritual Energy tide and find your own way to endure it."
"Only when we can easily endure such pain, will we have the strength to search for Clam Pearls."
"To endure well in the Suffering Pray Sea, the best way is to form a team, help each other, take turns guarding, support with magical treasures, and resist the power of the tide."
Everyone’s eyes lit up. Yes, earlier when facing the Spiritual Energy tide, everyone panicked, trying to withstand it alone. Why hadn’t they thought of joining forces?
It’s actually not the crowd’s fault; after all, on the path of Immortal Cultivation, isn’t everyone mostly a loner?
People’s hearts are separated by a belly. Having experienced matters involving life and death many times, naturally, everyone is defensive and subconsciously chooses to trust themselves rather than others.
"Those willing to offer mutual assistance and support, gather beside me. We’ll take turns supporting with magical treasures and guarding everyone, so each person will get plenty of rest time. We’ll do this rotation until we find the Market Island and decide what to do next."
Since someone organized it, a lot of people gathered around. After all, there is strength in numbers, and for now, everyone is still Church Disciples with no competitive relationship at this moment.
Carson Flores didn’t try to show off. Who would willingly endure knife-like pain if they can avoid it?
The organizer was an elder. He opened an umbrella, from which a misty green light emanated, driving back the approaching Spiritual Energy tide.
"Each person goes for one hour, then can rest for three hours while others carry the resting people on the journey."
Under the elder’s arrangement, everyone was protected under the umbrella’s green light, and they continued moving north.
As the first day passed and the Spiritual Energy tide gradually faded, the sky became bright again, and the sea calmed, everyone felt as if a lifetime had passed.
Will every day be like this from now on?
Though frightened by the harsh environment here, everyone found an effective way to shelter, and for a moment, they were full of confidence.
"If we continue to hold together and take turns supporting, can’t we pass through safely?"
Someone sneered and said, "What about the Clam Pearls? Just by hiding, without enough Clam Pearls, we can’t complete the sentence!"
The person who made the suggestion stubbornly said, "There is still one hour without tides every day, during which we can use to search for Clam Pearls, can’t we?"
Someone reminded, "The reason Clam Pearls are hard to find is that the clams live in extremely deep waters. Even when there’s no tide, the sea still contains strong tidal energy. Searching underwater requires a lot of time, and even in a group, it’s hard to endure under the sea for such a long time."
"The rules set here are bound to be challenging and won’t let you pass through safely. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be a place of exile but a holiday resort."
"What we can think of, others can think of too. We are no smarter than others. If these tasks are difficult to complete, it means there is a high degree of difficulty..."
The person who proposed the suggestion opened their mouth, seemingly unconvinced but unable to find words to refute.
Yes, among so many Church Disciples exiled here, there are strong people. If you can think of it, how could others not?
Are you the only smart one?
Carson Flores remained silent, thinking about that umbrella that supported everyone. He vaguely determined that on that Market Island there would definitely be fixed places for shelter from the elements.
If we rely on rotating the magical treasure at sea to block the tide, why can’t it be done on a stable island?
