Suddenly, he saw a deserted island amidst the azure waves.

On the reef beach at the edge of the deserted island, a man in yellow was lying against the stone wall, seemingly having died just a few hours ago. Perhaps at the next high tide, his body would be swept into the sea, disappearing from the world forever.

The man’s hands seemed to be tightly clenching something, even in death he had not let go.

Song Yan quickly landed and reached out to separate his fingers.

The man’s hand opened, revealing a crystal pendant. The pendant had no Profound Qi fluctuations, only displaying a small image in the center of a girl, who smiled charmingly with captivating eyes.

Song Yan paused in silence, understanding it was nothing more than the common story of "a cultivator venturing out for various reasons, dying tragically away from home, yearning for his lover in his last moments."

He shook his head slightly, picked up the crystal pendant, placed it around the man’s neck, and then turned around to leave.

He wanted to find an identity of a low-realm cultivator as a backup, since a low realm meant weak cause and effect, but this cultivator had someone he loved, so he decided against it.

After all, this is troublesome.

The next day...

Song Yan discovered several other cultivators’ corpses on another island.

The corpses were scattered about; some had been dead for a long time, others seemed to have died recently. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He extracted the Divine Soul of the newly deceased cultivator, inquired for a bit, and understood the reason.

These cultivators lived in the same loose cultivator settlement, most were at the ninth level of Refining Profound, led by one at the Early Stage Crimson Palace. They went out for training together, narrowly escaping a Sea Beast attack, only to be fatally poisoned by insects in the depths of the island.

Song Yan shook his head again.

If one of these people returned alive, they would certainly face many inquiries, becoming entangled in endless cause and effect.

Suddenly, his body paused, a thought stirred in his heart, and he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, thinking: ’I have fallen into a misunderstanding. If now were a time of peace and prosperity, I indeed would need an identity.

But now is the era of dark calamities. If I were a loose cultivator, and casually concocted an identity to blend into a Refining Profound gathering place, who could possibly see through me?

Assuming another’s identity is merely to achieve a temporary goal like Yu Chitian once did, there’s no need to delve deeply.’

With this realization, Song Yan ceased investigating the new corpses along the way and stopped seeking suitable identities. Instead, he began trying to understand the terrain and map of the place.

Previously in the Formless Ancient Race, he had a general understanding of the surrounding topography.

On the continent, the Ancient Race is to the north, Mountain and Sea Demon Race to the south; in the sea, the Sea Demon Race is everywhere, while the Star Luo Domain is a cluster of islands densely packed at the heart of the sea.

These islands are numerous, scattered about, probably numbering in the hundreds of thousands, including deserted islands, mining islands, Spirit Flower Profound Grass Islands, Sect Islands, and Demon Beast gathering islands, among many others.

The Ancient Race and Mountain and Sea Demon Race still have unresolved causes with him, and treasures he greedily covets, such as the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm. Understanding his current location and the return route is most important.

And a large map is indispensable.

This requires finding a marketplace.
