Chapter 233: Exploring The Island

Angela was greeted by Lex and Ella and as she stopped cultivating, she had a smile on her face and from it, they could see that whatever she had been trying to learn had been successful.

"I have been wanting to test out what I have been learning. How long has it been?" she asked as she stood up and began stretching after sitting down cross-legged for an entire two weeks.

"While you were lazily sleeping, we covered millions of miles of water and finally found water and it was no wonder that no one from the previous continent was able to make it off. The sea is so big and dangerous, even we found it difficult to cross it in one piece" answered Lex.

"You were such a big help Angela" added Ella sarcastically as they laughed at the pouting Angela.

Angela knew they were joking, but seeing all the wounds and blood all over Lex's body, it was clear that he truly had fought hard and for him to have even been injured in the slightest, he must have fought against many unbelievably strong beasts.

They had to experience all that struggle and yet all she did was cultivate without a worry in the world, and she couldn't help but feel guilt and once again feel like a useless burden.

"Alright then, you can leave the fighting on this island for me. I am sure we can explore this island in a small amount of time" she said, believing an island would be a small plot of land, comparing it to the continent she was previously on.

Lex and Ella looked at each other while smiling before saying, "We will see", excited to see Angela's reaction to the size of the island and what they were about to find on it.

Even by nearing the island, Lex and Ella could feel the difference in density of energy, but they also felt that there was danger on the island and with that density of energy, even those that weren't talented at cultivation would at least be able to become Heaven Mortal Cultivators.

The difference between what they were going to see on the island and the rest of their journey and the continent they were previously on was too large and Angela was in store for many surprises.

"Unit Leaders, prepare your units for an exploration mission. I will send you guys to explore and report back to me and be careful, we are going to be exploring a dangerous and foreign land" announced Lex.

The Unit Leaders all understood and could tell that Lex was being serious so nodded their heads before gathering the strongest in their units for the mission.

Ella and Angela were still impressed by how intelligent and loyal the fox beasts were to Lex, but Angela couldn't help but feel that it was unnecessary to use so many powerful beasts for a mere island.

Lex chuckled before placing his hand on her shoulder and the other was still in Ella's hand, then he took them out of the Portable Sub-Dimension and along the border of the island.

Angela didn't know what to expect, but what she saw completely surpassed anything she could have ever expected.

"How is this an island? It is even bigger than the continent we came from and the energy here is so dense" she exclaimed in shock.

"Along with that, what is that danger that I can sense" she mumbled to herself.

"This is no longer the same world that you are used to. Our adventure has finally begun and once we step foot on that island, you should prepare yourself for all sorts of danger" stated Lex as he hovered above the sea a few hundred kilometres away from the island with Ella, while Angela stood on the sea that would become ice beneath her feet.

The army of fox beasts within Lex's Portable Sub-Dimension was ready and eager to fight and explore the world and Lex had no reason to hesitate with his strength as he flew over to the island with his friends close behind.

"Are you not scared or going to make any preparations?" asked Angela.

"The fox beasts are ready, what other preparations are there to make. This is an adventure so relax, but prepare yourself for battle and to have a good time" answered Lex reassuringly, seeing that she was very tense and anxious.

She did as he said and also began activating the calming effects of her cold spiritual roots, which not only calmed her but completely changed her personality and the way she acted. 

As soon as they landed on the island, people all over the island were alerted of their presence despite Lex, Ella and Angela concealing their cultivation and aura.

"There really are unusual and capable inhabitants on this island. They also seem to use arrays and traps" observed Lex who had his Scouting Eye activated and was using it to monitor the area around them on the island.

With a wave of his arm, 5 hundred powerful and combat-trained fox beasts appeared before him and each of them were lead by one of the 5 more powerful unit leaders.

"Spread out, stay together and make sure there aren't any casualties. Look for the nearest village or civilisation, along with any other interesting or special areas that you come across. Be careful as there are many dangers, beasts, traps and other things that you may come across along the way. I will also be moving around the island and you can find me through my scent" instructed Lex.

He knew it was risky to allow them to explore the island independently and Lex could sense that there were all kinds of traps and unknown dangers nearby, along with unknown inhabitants on the island, but they needed to experience battle to become more powerful.

It was also an extremely large island that would take too long for him to explore alone in a short period of time and was a mere island on his journey through the Lower Plains, so there was no need to spend much time on it.

The fox beast units all split up and headed in different directions, while Angela, Lex and Ella headed straight towards the centre of the island.
