The operation to clear out the ghost ship lasted a very long time. By the time Grandpa Jian and Hua Xiyu had finished purifying the source of darkness, only a small portion of the area here had been cleared.
A ghost ship the size of a planet was simply too big, and the endless dark creatures inside were enough to make your hands numb from killing them.
Fortunately, after months of fierce fighting, Ye Jun and his team finally gained control of several key aspects of the ghost ship, including the alluring voice and the mirror image on the deck.
At this point, the lord's army could finally descend upon this place at will. A large number of lord's kin flocked in and engaged in a fierce battle with the endless dark creatures in the ghost ship. After Ye Jun and the others gained control and successively killed off the high-ranking kin, they withdrew from the ship. An even more troublesome floating island awaited them.
"The ghost ship is now in your hands. Please be careful, as none of us know what other tricks they might have up their sleeves!" Ye Chen warned.
Although he went to deal with the floating island, he had the control of the ghost ship, so he didn't hold back and sailed directly to the star field next to the floating island. The many lords surrounded and attacked there, and the dark creatures inside were simply trapped like turtles in a jar.
"Don't worry! We'll be careful!" the lords said in unison. After all, this was a ghost ship full of eeriness, and no one knew what kind of tricks it might have up its sleeve. Even though there were no high-level dark creatures inside, they still had to be very careful.
Ye Chen nodded without saying much. After a short rest, he led a new batch of troops to the location of the floating island. This time, Grandpa Jian and Hua Xiyu also came along. They were also full of curiosity about the tools of the dark civilization and wanted to see what kind of strange existence they had.
“The floating islands are very similar to our lord's territories, about the size of a third-tier lord's territory, but they are very difficult to destroy. We suspect that they also have immortality attributes. The dark soil that we shot down will quickly repair itself, but this immortality doesn't seem to work on the houses on the islands! Houses can be destroyed, but new houses will be generated!” a lord responsible for monitoring the floating islands reported.
"Houses can be destroyed, but new houses will be generated?"
"Yes, but only those houses that have already been cleared by others can be destroyed. They can be forcibly destroyed from the inside before being teleported away. Once you're out, you can't do that anymore!"
"Interesting!" Ye Chen nodded. These floating islands looked more like a series of bizarre mini-games. He wondered how to destroy them.
"The first trip is just a test. Zhulong, you lead the team. Don't send any demigods from the Witch Clan. Instead, pick some mages from Hope City and the Elf King. They are exceptionally intelligent and might be able to break through the strangeness on the floating island more easily!" Ye Chen thought for a moment and said to Zhulong.
Now that Fuxi and Noah have entered the cycle of reincarnation, the remaining demon and witch races are obviously not good at this kind of thing that requires thinking, so they can only rely on the magicians in Xiniu Hezhou.
"Your Majesty, perhaps we could invite Kunpeng out. He is a demon master of the demon race, with exceptional wisdom. In addition, the human race's Grand Master Xuandu could also accompany us. The human race is adept at learning from various environments. He received the true teachings of Fuxi and now has the strength of the sixth rank!" Zhulong suggested after a moment's thought.
"Kunpeng and Xuandu? Oh right! How could I forget about them? Then send the order to have them set off with you!" Ye Chen was taken aback, then smiled and agreed.
Kunpeng was the reincarnation of that giant star beast. Ye Chen's impression of it was still that of its clumsy appearance back then. In fact, after reincarnation, its wisdom was unlocked, and it became one of the most intelligent beings on the Primordial Star. It even established the Demon Emperor Palace, became the Demon Master of the Demon Clan, and created the Demon Script unique to the Demon Clan.
As for Grand Master Xuandu, he was a disciple taken in by Fuxi after he was reincarnated as a human. He was exceptionally wise and even created a Qi cultivation method for the entire human race, giving them the possibility of embarking on the path to immortality.
However, the current Qi refining method is not yet perfect and requires a long time to develop. Human lifespan is limited, so it can only be left to future generations.
In fact, many of the methods in the Sutra Repository could also be used by humans for cultivation, but after trying them, Ye Chen found that these methods seemed to be subject to some kind of restriction, becoming obscure and difficult to understand among humans. As a result, few people were able to master them, and most of them stagnated at the third level.
Therefore, Fuxi had the idea of letting them create their own cultivation methods. He copied all the thousands of methods in the Scripture Pavilion and allowed the human race to cultivate them on their own, thus creating their own methods. Grand Master Xuandu has obviously taken a crucial step for the human race.
"Me too?" Kunpeng was shocked when he heard the news, and his huge body trembled slightly.
Don't be fooled by his arrogant demeanor in the Demon Emperor's Palace; that's because he knows he's the boss there and no one dares to mess with him. But when it comes to actually facing the dark creatures, he's incredibly cowardly.
The reason why his presence on the Primordial Star has been so low over the years is because he was worried about being chosen by Ye Chen to deal with the dark creatures. But he didn't expect that no matter how much he tried to hide, he still couldn't escape it.
"This? Can we not go?" Kunpeng said reluctantly. As a homebody, how comfortable is it to stay at home and play around with fish every day? What if he gets killed while fighting for his life?
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a ray of scorching sun shine down from the sky, the sunlight falling on his back causing a slight stinging pain, and he seemed to smell a faint aroma of grilled fish...
"Go! Go! Go! I'll pack my things and go out with Boss Zhulong right now!" Kunpeng immediately backed down, transformed into a little fat guy, and returned to his Demon Emperor Palace to pack his things.
Compared to Kunpeng, Grand Master Xuandu's attitude was much better. When he heard that he would be going to war with Zhulong, he even seemed excited and thrilled.
“I obey the Heavenly Emperor’s decree. Xuandu is ready to depart at any time!” Xuandu said, bowing.
As one of the strongest gods on the entire Primordial Star, Zhulong also enjoys a great reputation among the human race. Being able to receive the Heavenly Emperor's decree and follow such a powerful figure on expeditions, witnessing the truly vast universe and the dark creatures that have destroyed countless worlds... this is exactly what he has always hoped for.
"Here, proceed to Baixiantai and await orders!" the heavenly soldier relaying the order said. Baixiantai was the starting point for all the races of the prehistoric world to launch their campaigns, and it had a special bonus effect on their kin. Therefore, Ye Chen never hesitated to mobilize his troops.
"Yes, sir!" Xuan Du nodded, and after bidding farewell to his family, he took off with the heavenly soldiers and flew towards the Baixiantai.
