Chapter 738: Parting Ways
After slaying the giant turtle, Qin Sang and Saint Yuansan joined up with the reinforcements and managed to rescue a number of cultivators from within the beast tide. However, faced with the tide’s ever-growing scale, they were ultimately forced to retreat.
Upon returning to Earth-Elemental Island, they learned that cultivators on the other islands had also noticed the anomaly and had already withdrawn. By now, nearly all the cultivators from the Five-Elemental Islands had gathered on Earth-Elemental Island.
But after witnessing the horrific scene on Wood-Elemental Island, most cultivators had lost the will to resist the beast tide. After a round of discussion, they reluctantly decided to abandon the islands.
Qin Sang looked back at this place he had spent over twenty years in, filled with emotion.
In the Demonic Sea, it was not uncommon for such islands to be discovered and claimed by cultivators, only to be taken back by demonic beasts.
These types of islands, though lacking a Spiritual Infant grandmaster to preside over them, offered more opportunities. People perished, but many also found fortune and soared to great heights.
Abandoning the Five-Elemental Islands left many cultivators filled with sorrow and reluctance.
"Daoist Master, just now we heard Saint Yuansan and the others discussing plans to find another place after leaving this sea and rebuild the Five-Elemental Islands. What are your thoughts? Should we go with them too?"
While retreating, the Wang Sisters had settled their subordinates before coming over to ask Qin Sang about his intentions.
Rebuilding the Five-Elemental Islands was not something that could be done on a whim. It required finding an island with a spirit vein capable of supporting so many cultivators in their cultivation. The demonic beasts nearby could not be too powerful either, or history would simply repeat itself.
However, the cultivators of the Five-Elemental Islands were all seasoned veterans. Saint Yuansan and the others possessed enough influence and had already begun rallying many people.
Not long ago, Saint Yuansan had asked for Qin Sang’s opinion, but Qin Sang had politely declined.
