Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Chapter 1009 - 418: Simon’s Treasure (Part 2)

"Maybe I need to slightly suppress my strength to avoid breaking through to the Fifth Stage," Alka said with a smile as he pointed to himself.

Now Alka is only a dozen spirals away from Fourth Stage Perfection.

As for the journey, they estimate it will take close to a year.

During this almost a year, Alka is entirely likely to reach Perfection.

He might even reach it ahead of time, and then he will need to slightly suppress his strength and fully absorb his recent gains.

Everyone nodded, indeed it was time to take action.

...

Before leaving, they all basically copied down some books that could be copied in the library.

Although the texts written on special materials like stone slabs, crystal stones, and tree bark could not be copied,

the text in ordinary books could be copied.

Alka left images of many books through the mirror, some of which were books they hadn’t had time to read or wanted to read.

Once they were done,

they arrived at the hall from before.

The crystal in the hall had long since dissipated, reverting to the state when they first arrived here: an empty hall with a massive and solitary throne.

Ulu Liwus kept staring blankly.

"It won’t be long before we can come back and take everything here, don’t overthink it."

Alka said, leading everyone to the edge, jumping toward the sea below.

Soon, they accurately landed on the Sound of Dawn, which had been waiting below for a while.

"Do we need to use any spell to hide this place again?" Jason asked, looking at the ruins above.

Ulu Liwus shook his head.

"No need, this place has always been hidden."

Upon hearing this, Alka patted the mast.

The Sound of Dawn started to sail, pushing through waves toward the distant horizon.

This journey is bound to take them a very long time.

This is the vastness of the Endless Sea.

And the vastness and sparse population of the Endless Sea mean they won’t encounter any ships in their nearly year-long voyage.

...

Under the night sky, Alka jumped from the lookout onto the deck.

He was slightly exhausted at this moment.

He could sense that there had previously been a massive magic spiral here from the surrounding fluctuation of magic power.

Alka felt the three sets of spirals within his body.

Each set has a dense, tight arrangement of 27 spirals.

That means Alka has officially reached Fourth Stage Perfection; once he creates one more spiral, these three sets, totaling 81 spirals, will compress together into a brand-new set of spirals.

And the extra one will propel Alka to the Fifth Stage.

However, starting today, Alka will temporarily abandon meditation, first stabilizing his magic power.

He’ll devote more thought to other directions.

It hasn’t been long since night fell.

Chadite looked at the jumping Alka: "Congratulations, you’re about to break through to the Fifth Stage."

Alka waved his hand: "It’s still early, probably still a long way to reach Trial Island? I must complete the trial and obtain the treasure to break through to the Fifth Stage."

Alka couldn’t help but recall two years ago.

Back then, he had just avenged someone and anticipated staying on Trial Island for a long time.

The reality is they need to head to Trial Island even more eagerly now.

Not only Alka, Chadite and others have multiple treasures due to previous supplementation.

Enhancing their meditation efficiency.

Also leading to small differences in their strengths, at most six or seven spirals.

If it was back then, six or seven spirals would have been a huge difference. But currently, six or seven spirals are a very minor difference, even in combat, it doesn’t make much difference.

The fastest one in terms of speed is Chadite.

Chadite now has one less Holy Grail Level treasure compared to Alka.

Strengthened her meditation speed, allowing her spirals to reach 72.

Only 9 spirals away from Fourth Stage Perfection.

The others hover between 65 and 70.

Basically, it can be said they are all close to breaking through to the Fifth Stage.

Upon hearing Alka’s words, Chadite did a simple calculation and said.

"Probably another 1-2 months before we reach."

"That’s good, it’s not much further."

"Speaking of, how old am I?" Alka suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Chadite turned to him with a peculiar look: "Why do you suddenly ask that?"

Alka laughed, saying: "I’m just feeling that sea voyages really consume time."

"It feels like we haven’t done much since coming to the Endless Sea, just shuttling between islands, but so much time has passed."

"Indeed." Chadite looked at the dark sea.

Has it been so long since they lived together on the ship?

"According to Homeland Sea’s time calculations, we might all be thirty years old?" Chadite suddenly said.

Then couldn’t help but widen her eyes: "Am I almost 30 years old?"

After all, in the Endless Sea, time is confusing.

The average day-night cycle is about 40 hours.

Over a whole ten hours longer than the Homeland Sea.

And using the day-night cycle here, they have almost spent 10 years in the Endless Sea.
