You can get a glimpse of how many islands there are in the Vientiane Sea just by looking at the scene in front of you. There are probably tens of thousands of islands floating on this huge ocean.
Some islands are not so much islands as they are rocks hanging on the sea. They are several feet in diameter and may be ignored without careful inspection.
Most of them are small islands like this, and these small islands and reefs are not marked on star maps.
There are also many islands marked on the star map, each with its own name. These islands with names are places where monks gather, and they are also resources that all parties compete for.
Lu Ye saw some familiar names among these islands.
For example, Huanglong Island, Five Color Island, Ten Thousand Demons Island, Yitian Island and so on...
The names of these islands correspond to the names of the top realms! Only those top realms are qualified to occupy an exclusive island in this place where heroes gather.
There are also some islands that are named after galaxies, such as Dongxu Island, Dagan Island, Huyue Island... The owners of these islands do not have the background of the top realm and cannot monopolize an island, but in the same galaxy, Monks from different realms can unite together and occupy an island.
There are also some names that are so confusing that the origin cannot be seen, and the origin of the owner cannot be verified.
Just looking at the various island names on the star map, Lu Ye could feel the undercurrent here. In fact, it was indeed the case. Not long after he entered the Wanxiang Sea, he saw a large group of monks besieging an island in the distance. The island, the island was shrouded in a protective magic circle, shimmering with colorful lights, and I don't know how long it can last.
This is undoubtedly two groups of monks competing for the ownership of the island. Most of the participants are Xingxu, and there are also Yueyao, but the number is not large, only three to five people.
The figure of the Rizhao Realm cannot be seen in such a battle, because in this Wanxiang Sea, there are only a few Rizhao from this system. The outside Rizhao is not allowed to stay in the Wanxiang Sea, let alone participate in the battle. The main reason is that once Rizhao takes action, there will be too much noise and it will be difficult to deal with the situation. Strong men in all major galaxies are also willing to abide by this rule.
This is the method used by the Rizhaos of this galaxy to control the Wanxiang Sea. Not to mention Rizhao, there are also Yueyao from each galaxy. There are quotas for entering the Wanxiang Sea. It does not mean that any Yueyao in the family can come.
Lu Ye had checked all this information in the jade slips of the small humans.
Normally, there are no restrictions on Xingxiu coming here, and he will not be subject to any interrogation. He can come when he likes and leave when he wants. But if Yueyao comes here, he must first go to the sunrise report of this galaxy to find out his origins. , you can only stay with permission.
Therefore, Lu Ye estimated that Tang Jun should be under interrogation by the Rizhao of Wanxiang Galaxy at this moment. As for whether he would reveal his existence during the interrogation process... there is no need to worry, the Rizhao of Wanxiang Galaxy is only responsible for sitting here, and he will not care about it. What are you interfering with?
When their cultivation reached their level, they were too lazy to care about the fights and quarrels of the monks below.
Comparing the star map in his hand, Lu Ye chose the destination of his trip.
The center and largest island in the Vientiane Sea - Vientiane Island! This is the foundation of the local monks in the Vientiane Galaxy. Since it is the largest, it must also be the most lively place.
He wanted to gather information and had some other things to deal with, so he naturally chose a place like this and wanted to get familiar with the place through Vientiane Island.
There are many monks coming and going, and their races are also all kinds of strange. Some look like uncivilized monsters, some don't look like humans at all, and some don't even have specific shapes...
Lu Ye had seen such a big scene, and he was still amazed at it.
Skimming across the sea, avoiding one island after another, he slowly approached Wanxiang Island. At this speed, Lu Ye estimated that it would take him almost half a month to reach Wanxiang Island, and he was helpless.
Just as he was hurrying on his way, a stream of light suddenly flew over from the thorn. Lu Ye, who had been on guard all the time, immediately stopped and looked coldly at the sight.
The stream of light suddenly stopped in front of it, and the light dissipated, and an extremely small spirit boat came into Lu Ye's field of vision. This spirit boat was smaller than Tang Jun's, and could only hold three people.
A young man with a slightly dark complexion and an extremely healthy look on the boat smiled at Lu Ye, cupped his fists and saluted: "This Taoist brother invites you!"
"What's the matter?" Lu Ye pressed his hand on the handle of Panshan's knife, his expression solemn.
The young man opposite looked young and similar to himself. What was rare was that he actually had the cultivation level of Xingxu in the early stage.
Such a person's background must not be much different, and his qualifications should also be good, but he doesn't know why he should be stopped.
"Brother Guandao is in a hurry. Do you want to go on your way? But you want to go to Vientiane Island?" The young man still smiled, with his big white teeth exposed, which could easily give people a feeling of harmlessness.
Lu Ye did not let down his guard, but shook his head decisively: "No!"
Under normal circumstances, it would be no good for someone like this to come and strike up a conversation out of nowhere. He was new here, so he naturally didn't want to bother with him any more.
The young man did not retreat. He must have encountered a similar situation and spoke skillfully: "Brother Tao, don't be wary. I am a ferryman under the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce. I am responsible for picking up people on the road like Brother Tao." He said this.
, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the side of his starship.
Lu Ye looked intently, and sure enough he saw the big word Wanxiang at that location!
The young man pointed in another direction: "Brother Taoist, please see, this is what we ferrymen do. It is mainly to facilitate some Taoists who do not have star boats to travel to the major islands and save time."
Lu Ye turned around to look again, and saw a star boat that was exactly the same as the star boat under the young man's feet passing by. The star boat also had the word "Wanxiang" on the side, and there were monks on board.
He had discovered the existence of this kind of star boat before, and it was not one, but several. He thought that such small and compact star boats were popular here, but now it seems that is not the case. This thing is specially used to ferry people.
The so-called Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce has considered it very carefully. After all, only a small number of monks can own a star boat. This thing is very expensive and ordinary people in the star realm cannot afford it. Even if they can afford it, they may not be willing to buy one.
Ship, after all, practicing in the Star Realm also requires the consumption of spiritual jade.
However, Lu Ye knew in his heart that this thing was definitely not free, and would probably charge a certain fee.
"What's the price?" Lu Ye asked.
The young man responded with a smile: "It depends on where the Taoist brother is going. Our ferryman charges based on the distance."
“Go to Vientiane Island!”
"Chenghui ten pieces of spiritual jade!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. The price was not expensive. He landed on the star boat in a flash, took out ten pieces of spiritual jade and handed it to the other party.
The young man took it and his mood became happy: "Brother Taoist, please stand still!"
Saying this, he turned the bow of the ship and flew towards the direction of Vientiane Island.
Halfway through, Lu Ye asked: "How did you know I was going to Vientiane Island?"
The young man smiled and replied: "Because I think it's my first time to come to Wanxiang Sea, Taoist brother... Let's put it this way, if you know a little bit about this place, Taoist brother should take the initiative to find our ferryman. Since he didn't take the initiative, either
Either he is short of money, or he doesn't know anything about it. I think the Taoist brother has an extraordinary temperament, and he is not someone who can't bear to part with a few pieces of spiritual jade. It should be the first time he comes to Wanxiang Sea. Taoist friends who come here for the first time will basically know how to do it.
If we choose to go to Vientiane Island once, we ferrymen will see more people, so we can naturally get some clues."
While explaining, he praised Lu Ye without any trace. It must be said that people who do business are good at talking and observing carefully.
"Brother Tao, can you please leave a note mark?" The young man asked again, "Next time, if Brother Tao wants to go somewhere, just call me. I usually work in this sea of things. Even if I am not available for a while, I will
You can call the brothers nearby to pick you up at your designated location."
Lu Ye naturally had no reason to refuse such a convenient thing, even if he exchanged note marks with the other party.
The young man introduced himself again, and Lu Ye learned that his name was Fang Wanli.
"If I want to go somewhere outside the Vientiane Sea, will your ferryman also take me there?" Lu Ye asked.
Fang Wanli smiled and said: "As long as you are in the Vientiane Galaxy, there is no place that my ferryman cannot deliver! And as long as it is within the itinerary, I, the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, will be responsible for the safety of the guests, and there will never be any accidents."
The confidence he expressed also demonstrated the strong foundation of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce.
"If it's convenient, tell me about the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce." As Lu Ye spoke, he took out a few more pieces of spiritual jade and handed them over.
Fang Wanli took it happily, thanked him in his mouth, and then spoke eloquently.
After his explanation, Lu Ye finally understood the foundation of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. This chamber of commerce can be said to be the largest and most powerful force in the entire Wanxiang Galaxy. Although it is named after the word Wanxiang, it is actually not just an industry in the Wanxiang Galaxy.
.
It is composed of the local forces of the Vientiane Galaxy as the main body, and all the top realms participate, forming a behemoth.
This kind of participation of external forces is not in-depth. For example, in the famous Huanglong world, a strong man from Rizhao has a name in the Chamber of Commerce. He cannot interfere with the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce. However, if something big happens, the Chamber of Commerce will
Bian has the right to ask Rizhao to help.
Accordingly, the Chamber of Commerce sends some spiritual jade as offerings every year. It may not be a lot, but no one will refuse such a free thing.
In the entire Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, there are only a few Rizhao people sitting in the Vientiane Sea and presiding over the various operations of the chamber of commerce, but in fact there is secret support from the top circles, or checks and balances between them.
The situation inside is quite complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
This is actually the reason why the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce has been able to control the Vientiane Sea and become the most powerful force here for countless years. It has tied all the top realms to itself. This tie may not be strong, but no top realm is willing to give up.
, is undoubtedly a very clever method.
