The rudder of the Tongtian Shenzhou was recovered, and Wei Luo, who had colluded with foreign bandits, was captured and confessed, which brought a successful conclusion to this series of events.
Afterwards, Zhan Chen wrote down the entire incident in detail and immediately sent it to Ning Weitian. He received a reply from him the next day, in which he commended Zhan Chen and all the guards and said that he would visit the dock to inspect the ship immediately.
, and participated in the maiden voyage ceremony of the Tongtian Shenzhou.
No wonder, once I heard that Shenzhou was being targeted by saint-level powerhouses, how could Mr. Ning sit still?
This temporary decision made the people in the dock very busy. On the one hand, they were responsible for clearing the rubble and counting the number of people; on the other hand, they had to prepare for Ning Weitian, who might come at any time.
Zhan Chen personally went into battle. After everyone's hard work throughout the day, most of the debris and ruins were cleared away, and the land was basically leveled. However, the huge deep hole left on the ground was difficult to fill for a while.
Ping, seemed to be telling people about the brutality of the battle at that time.
Everyone felt heavy because more than a thousand boatmen and more than fifty guards were killed or missing in this attack. However, they quickly recovered from their grief, because in this abyss,
Life seems particularly contemptible, and those who are alive still have to live.
The next day, Ning Weitian came to the dock with more than a dozen offerings, and Zhan Chen led the crowd to greet them personally.
After the ceremony, Ning Weitian walked into the dock and immediately saw the large pit on the side of the road. It was particularly eye-catching because it was the explosion that completely destroyed half of the dock.
He couldn't help but sigh to Zhan Chen beside him: Zhan Chen, it's really difficult for you. You have to fight such a powerful enemy, and you also successfully defended the Tongtian Shenzhou for me. You are really my blessed general. I am so proud of you at that time.
Proud of the decision to promote you to Dockmaster
Zhan Chen said humbly: Master, don't say that. It is everyone's credit to hold on to the dock, not just me.
Guard Tian shook his head and said: Why are you being so modest? This world respects the strong. If you hadn't blocked Xie Jun, the Tongtian Divine Boat would probably not have been saved. No matter how many guards there were in the dock, who could stop him?
Martial Saint strong man
Zhan Chen was noncommittal and remained silent.
Zhan Chen, I'm optimistic about you. In my opinion, your strength has reached the level of a semi-saint.
What kind of realm is this for the Half-Saint to fight against Chen Qidao?
The so-called Semi-Saint is not a realm, but a title. It is awarded to certain young geniuses who have stayed in the Great Perfection realm of Martial Emperor for many years or are like you. They can compete with the strong Martial Saint without losing.
People. Such strong people can often easily break through the realm of martial saints, and once they break through, they can become the best among martial saints.
I see
Zhan Chen, keep up your hard work, your achievements in the future will be limitless. Ning Weitian patted his shoulder and said.
In the semi-saint realm, Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with strange light, and he clenched his fists: By the way, my next goal is to break through to the Martial Saint.
Okay, let’s go to the Heavenly Boat. I want to pilot it myself. Seeing you as a hero, it’s time for me to work hard. Originally, I was still hesitant about whether to participate in the Heavenly Sky Ceremony, but you made me determined.
Faith, give it a try. When he said this, Ning Weitian's eyes also ignited with the flame of passion.
Zhan Chen was stunned and asked: Master, didn’t you want to participate before?
Ning Weitian sighed: Yes, in fact, I have been hesitating before. The road to heaven is full of dangers, and even the strong Martial Saint cannot guarantee that he will survive.
Master, speaking of this, I don’t understand something. Since the road to the sky is so difficult and dangerous, why do we have to take it? I have seen the advantages and disadvantages of the strong martial saints, can’t we just find a cliff and climb up? Zhan Chen
He asked a question that he had been thinking about.
Zhan Chen, your idea of finding a random cliff to climb is too simple. How can this Abyssal Pond be so easy to climb? It is over 10,000 feet high, and even though a strong Martial Saint can reach 500 meters in one leap, it seems that it is not too difficult to climb the cliff.
, however, there is danger hidden on the cliffs of the Abyss Pond.
What dangerous situation Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
Those are the countless monsters lurking in this abyss of mist
Are there monsters in this abyss of mist? Zhan Chen looked up at the sky in confusion and murmured: Why didn't I see them when I landed before?
That's because when you fell, you didn't touch the cliff and didn't disturb them. Once you disturbed them, they would rush out. And you were on a steep cliff with nowhere to borrow strength.
Even if we are unable to display our strong abilities, we will eventually fall back to the ground. This is why even if our cultivation reaches the level of Martial Saint, we cannot go up.
Then why is the road to heaven possible? Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask again.
I haven't seen it either, but it is said that it is the only way to climb to the Abyssal Pond.
Just as they were asking and answering this question, the two of them entered the shipyard and arrived under the Tongtian Shenzhou. Looking at the extremely smooth and tall Shenzhou, Ning Weitian's eyes flashed with mist. This was their Ning family and their family.
How many people’s boat of hope?
Jiang Zhunsheng, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, stepped forward, took out the rudder, presented it to Ning Weitian, and said respectfully: Master, this is the rudder of the Tongtian Shenzhou. I am so old and stupid that I almost lost it. Thanks to the commander-in-chief's insight and bravery.
Only by surpassing others can the rudder be taken back and kept.
Ning Weitian took over the rudder and sighed to him: Quanzheng, it's not your fault, it's just that Wei Luo was too cunning and took advantage of your friendship with him to set a trap. You have served our Ning family for dozens of times.
Year, not only do you have no faults, but you also have merits. I will reward you heavily when I go back.
Lord, please let me be ashamed.
Okay, let's not stay here and get on the boat quickly.
was the answer from everyone.
So, they boarded the Tongtian Shenzhou. Zhan Chen accompanied Ning Weitian into the control room, and Ning Weitian personally installed the rudder. This time, the rudder and the console were tightly integrated.
As the rudder was inserted, everyone heard bursts of clicking sounds coming from their ears. This was the sound of various mechanisms in the ship starting up. Then they saw rows of hanging lights mounted on the ceiling light up, lighting up the entire
The room was brightly lit.
It’s done, it’s finally done. Jiang Zhunsheng is like a little boy again, cheering and dancing.
At this time, through the transparent glass windows of the shipyard, one could clearly see that the iron gate in front of the Shenzhou began to rise, and the rough waters of the Yuan River crisscrossed in front of them.
Ning Weitian shouted loudly while sailing the ship, and his voice was clearly transmitted through the channels connected in the control room to every corner of the Shenzhou, even on the deck, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
After receiving the order, more than 200 Martial Emperor warriors on the ship took action almost at the same time, activating every mechanism in the ship.
The propeller at the stern began to rotate, slowly at first, and then faster and faster, forming a huge thrust that pushed the Tongtian Shenzhou forward, away from the shipyard, and toward the vast river.
The cramped situation in front of them suddenly became clear, which also opened up everyone's mood. Ning Weitian laughed and said: Zhan Chen, come with me to the plywood to watch the beautiful scenery of Yuanhe River.
yes.
So the two of them walked out of the cabin one after another and came to the plywood. At this time, the guards on the deck opened and propped up the sails one by one, and from the two rows of holes on the hull, there were also
He stretched out one long oar after another and paddled the river rhythmically according to the call.
The combined force of the three makes the whole-body Shenzhou sail very fast, cutting through the wind and waves, just like an electric switch.
A big ship is stable. The river water is rolling under the ship, but above the deck it is safe and stable, as if walking on flat ground.
Zhan Chen stood next to Ning Weitian with his hands behind his back, blowing the biting sea breeze, feeling in a different mood.
Ning Weitian looked at the sweaty water and suddenly asked Zhan Chen: Zhan Chen, do you know how many dangers are lurking on the surface of the Yuan River?
Zhan Chen replied: I have heard about the dangers of Yuanhe, but I have not experienced it myself.
Okay, don't worry, you will see it soon.
Ning Weitian's words seemed to be verified immediately. Suddenly, Zhan Chen felt the river water beside him fluctuate, and then a giant fish with a length of ten meters shot out from the water, flew towards Zhan Chen and Ning Weitian, and opened its mouth
It opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp tusks. It obviously regarded them who were standing in the conspicuous position of the bow as a meal.
This was the Abyssal Barracuda. Zhan Chen, a top-level sixth-level monster, recognized it immediately. He took out his Shark Hunting Sword and slashed out a sword energy in the air, splitting the creature into two.
However, this was just the beginning. Then Zhan Chen saw a spectacular scene. Hundreds of water ripples appeared on the river, and then hundreds of pike fish jumped out of the water and pounced on the Shenzhou. Obviously, they encountered
Attack of a school of barracuda.
The guards who were working on the ship hurriedly took out their weapons and launched sword attacks at the monsters jumping out of the water.
For a time, the bloody storm in the air dyed the deck red. Most of the people guarding the deck were strong men of the Great Perfection level of the Emperor Wu. Although there were only more than thirty people, their combat power was good. Although there were many sixth-level monsters, it was not enough.
They killed them, and they were all wiped out three times.
After Zhan Chen killed the monster, he returned to Ning Weitian.
But this strong martial artist always stood at the front of the bow, staring ahead without moving. Seeing Zhan Chen coming back, he suddenly said: Did you see that this is Yuanhe, and these sixth-level monsters you just killed
, these are just shrimps. There are no powerful monsters in our area of Yuanhe, at most there are only a few seventh-order monsters.
However, in the future, when we drive towards the center of the Yuan River, we will face hordes of seventh-order monsters, powerful eighth-order monsters, and even invincible ninth-order monsters.
, whether we can come back alive is unknown.
Zhan Chen also fell into deep thought after listening to his words. He didn't dare to say anything else. He had also seen the strength of the eighth-level elementary monsters. Ordinary Martial Emperor Dzogchen warriors could not defeat them. So the eighth-level intermediate and high-level monsters
Beasts, let alone ninth-level monsters. From this point of view, this journey is really a journey of life and death.
Okay, the trial voyage is almost over, it's time for us to return. At this time, Ning Weitian suddenly said, pulling him out of his thoughts.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and immediately went back to the control room to deliver the order. After a while, the Shenzhou began to turn and sail back towards the dock.
