As the drums beat and the dulcimer began to play, everyone raised their glasses and started singing and dancing.
On the deck, which was fifty meters wide and one hundred meters long, everyone jumped up.
"I sail on the vast East China Sea"
Once again, we set sail, traversing the ocean, through the stormy seas.
I fly in the azure sky
Soaring through the sky, like a bird, among the towering clouds.
......”
Everyone raised their glasses and sang a nautical song together, some with the ruggedness of strong men, others with the melodious voices of women.
There was another round of cheers after the song ended.
Then came tap dancing and other similar dances, with people in twos and threes showing off their graceful moves. Even Captain Ren Hongling joined in.
Her graceful figure and flowing long hair elicited loud roars from the group of men.
The spaceship has activated stealth mode; even if the people on board shout themselves hoarse, no sound will be heard outside.
Ye Feng hadn't even spoken to Xiao Xuan yet; Ren Hongling kept talking to her, asking about ordinary things on land. He eavesdropped for a while.
After finally getting a chance to watch Ren Hongling dance, he was pulled away by the same burly man to drink again.
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for us today, you would be finished!"
Ye Feng gave a professional, fake smile and nodded repeatedly.
The burly man, named Gesang, knew from Ye Feng's expression that he didn't believe him, and hurriedly said...
"You have no idea how dangerous the sea is. If we hadn't waited for you, the sea monsters would have targeted you. You wouldn't have been able to fly more than 500 meters; you would have become sitting ducks. In just a few breaths, you would have been reduced to nothing but bone fragments!"
This is indeed different from the land. Xiao Xuan can only fly up to 500 meters. If she continues to fly higher, there will be spiritual energy storms, like hurricane blades.
Even Ye Feng could feel the pressure when he went up there; his mana consumption was much higher.
However, Xiao Xuan possesses a magical flying sword that forms a protective shield. Not to mention a spiritual energy storm, even a sneak attack from an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would be ineffective.
Seeing the change in Ye Feng's expression, Gesang finally took a satisfied sip of wine.
"Our rapid escape was entirely thanks to the Thousand Miles of Sunshine. Although this spaceship is only a high-grade spiritual artifact, the cost of the entire ship is no less than that of a magic treasure. The ship is engraved with a level-two array, so it is not afraid of gales at a height of 500 meters or even being caught in a Foundation Establishment beast tide!"
That's true. Although Ye Feng could understand the craftsmanship of this ship—whether it was the array inscriptions or the main mechanical structure—he had no problem with it.
However, integrating so many components into a spaceship is quite a technical challenge.
Ye Feng estimated that if he were to build such a spaceship on his own, it would take at least half a month.
This is a spiritual artifact! He could forge a high-grade spiritual artifact in just a few days during his Foundation Establishment stage.
Now that he has reached the Golden Core stage, his strength has increased many times over, yet it will still take him more than half a month to forge it.
It must be said that the wisdom of the vast working people is something that no genius can surpass in a short period of time.
Ye Feng's approval was written all over his face, which made Gesang even more smug.
"Furthermore, we have a heavy cannon on board! It is..."
Gesang paused here, suddenly stunned, because the captain's voice echoed in his mind.
"Are you fucking drunk? You're just blurting everything out!"
Ye Feng overheard all of these whispers. He found Ren Hongling's audacity amusing but didn't take them seriously.
Such important combat capability information must, of course, be kept secret.
Gesang was definitely drunk.
The drinks on the ship are all brewed from spiritual plants, which can not only replenish spiritual energy but also repair injuries and relieve pain.
Of course, it also has a strong lingering effect.
Gesang shook his head and chuckled.
"Of course, the most powerful is the Sky Fortress of the Han Hai Chamber of Commerce. It's a spirit-connected magic weapon, and its immense power could blast an entire sect in a single shot."
———
Purple Snow Plain
Jun Aocheng stood on the outer edge of the great formation, staring at the bottomless pit in front of him, his face filled with astonishment.
Even the Nascent Soul elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect standing nearby had grim expressions.
A clear, ethereal voice came from the fifth floor of the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce.
"Tian Juezi, if you don't show up soon, I'll have to clear the way myself!"
The merchant guild fortress, suspended in mid-air, was firmly trapped within a protective barrier several kilometers in size by numerous disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect wielding sword techniques, in conjunction with array masters.
But now it seems that under this giant cannon, any trapping formation or killing formation is a joke!
Although the level four formation is said to be able to defend against Nascent Soul level cultivators, in reality, it only plays a supporting role against Nascent Soul level cultivators.
If that attack had landed directly, not only would those outside the formation have been reduced to ashes, but they would have been reduced to dust as well.
Jun Aocheng's astonishment gradually turned into anger.
Damn it! This is the complete summoning artifact... something I could have had too... It's all thanks to that Han Li!
No one responded to the voice from the Vast Ocean Fortress for a long time. After a moment, the fortress slowly began to move.
It was about to collide with the trapping array's protective barrier...
Just then, in the darkness, a meteor rose a hundred miles away, its intense light no less dazzling than that of the cannon.
It was a sword, hovering beside an old man with a long beard and white hair, with a thousand-meter-tall phantom of a light sword behind him.
This person!
It was none other than the Nascent Soul Venerable of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Tian Juezi!
"Is Guild Leader Feng Ling trying to intimidate us with her power? Does she intend to fight to the death with my Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Tian Juezi's voice was equally ethereal, instantly restoring the spirit of the Heavenly Sword cultivators below who had just been robbed of their courage.
My heart is filled with excitement!
After a long while, the sound came from the Vast Ocean Fortress again.
"Tian Juezi, my Hanhai Chamber of Commerce is just doing business. We have never disclosed customer information before. Even if you personally intervene, there is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
Tian Juezi's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"You understand the importance of magical artifacts without me having to explain. If the Vast Ocean Fortress were to be taken away, I wonder what your plans would be?"
Upon hearing this, the Vast Ocean Fortress fell silent once again.
Countless cultivators from various sects watched the battle from afar, all displaying expressions of excitement.
A major battle between the upper sects!
Although the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce does not have any Nascent Soul cultivators, it possesses Nascent Soul level combat power thanks to its fortress, which is a magical artifact!
Moreover, atop the fortress were countless Golden Core cultivators, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, and most of the merchants' guild members.
As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, they will definitely need to keep most of their manpower on the side.
The battle between the two sides is still ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain.
"I think the Han Hai Chamber of Commerce is at a slight disadvantage. After all, it's an alliance organization. Tian Juezi paired with the Tian Jue Sword represents two Nascent Soul stage combatants..."
"That's not necessarily true. That last shot wasn't even the strongest attack from the Vast Ocean Fortress. If they fight to the death, Tian Juezi will definitely suffer too. At that point, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Yin Corpse Sect, the Joyful Union Sect... won't let this opportunity to kick him while he's down pass by!"
......
Both sides' supporters have their own reasons, and each side has its own arguments.
They practically wanted to start a gambling game right next to them.
Just as everyone was discussing this, the Vast Ocean Fortress suddenly accelerated and crashed into the Heavenly Sword Sect's grand formation.
"Bang....."
The level-four array shattered with a crisp sound, like glass breaking.
Many of the Heavenly Sword cultivators who were assisting outside coughed up blood and flew backward.
"How dare you!"
Upon witnessing this, Tian Juezi was enraged, and his thousand-meter-long sword slashed fiercely towards the Vast Ocean Fortress...
