On the blue sea, a behemoth ship over a hundred feet long was speeding along, dragging a long white line behind it. Countless seawater surged on both sides, rippling farther away.
The originally calm sea area also caused countless changes because of its arrival. However, when it completely passed by, the white line was immediately filled in by the power of the sea, and the entire sea area returned to a calm and waveless state.
.
In the face of such a force of nature, even though Lian Chenglin's fourth-level treasure ship is already one of the top magical weapons in the world of cultivation, it still looks a little weak.
A body of one hundred feet is nothing more than a small boat in the vast ocean!
Li Xuangang was lying on the railing of the ship's side at this time, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes looked strange, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
After looking at it for a while, he combined it with the islands he passed around and recalled the map that had long been engraved in his mind, and then he discovered:
Under the full speed of this fourth-level treasure ship, after more than half a month, they had approached the outermost edge of the Ten Thousand Stars Islands.
This place is not far from where they first entered the archipelago. Li Xuangang estimated that if the treasure ship kept moving at this speed, it would take at most three days to return to the small island where everyone first arrived.
Thinking of this, he looked further ahead and looked directly in front of the treasure ship, which was in the direction of Chaoyang Continent.
Several footsteps approached, and finally she stood beside him. She stretched out her hand and wanted to put it on the railing, but just when she raised it, she hesitated, then took it back again, and continued to stand in a straight line.
Li Xuangang had already noticed the arrival, so he straightened up his body lying on the railing, turned around and said:
"Second uncle."
The person who came was none other than Li Qingyang. He had just woken up from practicing and did not see Li Xuangang in the cabin, so he came out to check.
Also staring at the sea in the distance, he asked:
"How long until we arrive?"
"If nothing else happens, it will take up to three days!"
"Um......"
Before Li Qingyang finished speaking, they suddenly discovered that the course of the treasure ship had changed.
Originally, the treasure ship sailed due west, but now, although it still generally maintains a westward direction, the direction has actually deviated a little to the north.
Both of them were a little surprised, and Li Xuangang said:
"This is......"
"Isn't Yu Yunzhen ready to return to the small island where we came from?"
At this time, some monks on the treasure ship had noticed that the course of the treasure ship had deviated, so they all walked out of the cabin to check.
As soon as I came out, I compared the map I got before and found that it was indeed the case. Suddenly there was a faint discussion on the treasure ship.
It seemed that this situation had been anticipated for a long time. After the treasure ship changed its course, disciples from the Guiji Sect came to explain soon.
It was said that the return location had changed and was moved to another place.
And telling everyone not to worry too much, the rest of the casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and the more than two hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were also placed there.
After receiving this explanation and the fact that the treasure ship was indeed heading towards the outermost edge of the archipelago, the discussion quickly subsided.
Some people have begun to return to the cabin to meditate, while some people continue to stay outside, either because they want to take a breath or to see if the specific situation is as the disciple of the Guiji Sect said.
Since the fifth uncle Li Changqing did not come out, Li Qingyang went back and told him about the change, while Li Xuangang stayed where he was to see the specific situation.
...
Soon, another day passed. When the sun rose in the east, the speed of the treasure ship gradually began to slow down until it finally stopped.
All the monks on board knew that the treasure ship had reached its final destination, so they all poured out of the cabins and walked towards the deck.
And there, Yu Yunzhen had appeared, talking to an old man with white hair and beard.
Li Xuangang was one of the first monks to arrive on the deck. The moment he saw the old man, he recognized him.
He is none other than the sect master of Haichao Sect, Lan Yingxu.
However, when he noticed his cultivation level, Li Xuangang's heart palpitated again. It turned out that Lan Yingxu's cultivation level revealed at this time was already at the late stage of Jin Dan, and his spiritual power was so strong that he was far from the peak of Jin Dan.
Far.
He started to guess, as a fifth-level monster equivalent to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, what kind of huge force had Lian Chenglin secretly cultivated during the hundreds of years he had controlled Limeng Island?
...
Gradually, more and more monks came from behind, and Li Changqing and Li Qingyang had also arrived. The two of them stood beside Li Xuangang, and then like the others, waited for Yu Yunzhen and Lan Yingxu to finish their conversation.
Give them an "explanation".
At this time, there were eleven Golden Core Stage monks and forty-four Foundation Establishment Stage monks standing on the deck.
In fact, Yu Yunzhen and Lan Yingxu didn't have anything to say. They just informed each other about the progress of the matters they were responsible for. When they heard from Yu Yunzhen that Patriarch Lian Chenglin's plan was going well, their faces showed a little bit.
happy.
Soon, they ended their greetings and turned around together to stand in front of everyone.
First, he looked at everyone and paused for a moment, then Lan Yingxu said:
"Fellow Taoists, don't worry. This place is a temporary stronghold I established under the orders of Patriarch Liancheng Lin."
"In addition to all of you, the Qi Refining Stage monks and the more than two hundred Foundation Establishment Stage monks who came out of the archipelago in advance are also temporarily settled here."
"After the ancestor comes back from the central island and makes some final arrangements, we can start discussing the return journey."
"However, during this period, you may have to wait here for a period of time. During this period, you can stay on the treasure ship, or you can disembark and do some activities. You just need to pay attention to two points."
"First, you are not allowed to leave the six surrounding islands, and second, you are not allowed to have any conflicts with each other!"
"Do you understand?"
Everyone did not answer immediately, but thought about it for a while.
In fact, they already knew from Lan Yingxu's words that it was impossible for them to leave this place before Lian Chenglin arrived here.
Then one of the female cultivators who was in the early stage of Golden Elixir asked:
"I would like to ask you two seniors, when will Patriarch Liancheng Lin arrive here?"
Yu Yunzhen smiled slightly and answered:
"I don't dare to speculate on the affairs of our ancestors, but please rest assured, fellow Taoist, it should not take more than a month!"
The golden elixir female cultivator handed over her hand:
"I know, thank you, senior!"
Later, some monks asked some questions, and Yu Yunzhen and Lan Yingxu answered them one by one, although there were still many trivial matters.
Even in the end, Li Xuangang felt that Yu Yunzhen and Lan Yingxu, the two top real people in the Golden Core stage, had put his posture a little low.
Looking back on this journey, it seemed that the two of them had always been like this, and Li Xuangang suddenly had a little doubt!
Why have the two of them maintained such an attitude towards these casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage?
...
Naturally, this kind of question cannot be asked on the spot. After answering all the questions, Lan and the others left here under the respectful greetings of everyone.
At the entrance of the treasure ship, a group of disciples from the Guiji Sect and Haichao Sect came aboard. They were led by more than a dozen foundation-building elders from the famous sects and came to maintain the basic order of the treasure ship.
Because Lan Yingxu had already mentioned this matter just now, none of the monks present made any move.
Next, a very small number of people returned to the cabin, while the rest got off the treasure ship to see the specific appearance of the temporary stronghold that Lan Yingxu mentioned.
Li Xuangang and his second uncle Li Qingyang both turned to look at Li Changqing. The latter looked around and then said:
“Since we are all here, it doesn’t hurt to go down and have a look!
