Chapter 1992: Chapter 70: Departure
“Then let’s go together.”
Several days later.
The surface of the Little Cang World slowly cracked open, and then a massive Treasure Raft silently flew out.
The protective shield, which had originally stayed on the surface of the Little Cang World, also transferred outside the Treasure Raft.
On the surface of the Little Cang World, stake-like Magic Tools silently appeared again, spewing Qi to counteract the surrounding Wind, barely maintaining the position of the Little Cang World.
In the silent yet fierce wind, the Treasure Raft slowly flew, then quickly accelerated, disappearing in the blink of an eye at the edge of the Void…
…
More than ten years later.
In the dim Void and floating ruins, a massive Teleportation Array silently lit up.
Then a huge Treasure Raft slowly emerged from this Teleportation Array, silently flying out.
It slowly flew away from the Teleportation Array and then distanced itself from the ruins.
On the ship’s rail of the Treasure Raft, faint figures stood, looking into the distance ahead.
There, many similar ships, islands, or other massive Flying Artifacts densely sailed towards their common destination.
In the eyes of all newcomers who were in shock at this place.
At the end of countless Flying Artifacts, a vast twisted Void floated silently like a ‘funnel’ or ‘horn’.
This twisted Void was wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, dazzlingly variegated, with layers overlapping like splashing waves, yet solidified there, resembling an extremely vibrant blooming flower.
At the forefront of this gigantic flower’s bloom, their ships or other Flying Artifacts appeared like specks of pollen on the flower, almost indiscernible.
“Is this the Sea Market? Isn’t it way too massive?”
On the Treasure Raft, an ugly young girl of short stature, wearing a green robe with sparse hair, was leaning against the ship’s rail, eyes wide open, in amazed observation of this scene.
Not only her, but a few other figures on the ship’s rail were also gazing at the sight before them, momentarily struck speechless by shock.
“Taoist Master… ahem, Mountain Lord, it seems that quite a number of factions have come this time, probably taking this opportunity concerning the matters of the Red Sky Palace and our Hundred Ghost Mountain, to demand accountability from the Jade Pot Realm. We must remember not to reveal our identities, lest the Jade Pot Realm seizes any handle against us, gaining leverage.”
A middle-aged cultivator, who was also of short stature with sparse yellow hair, said in a low voice to a young green-robed cultivator whose appearance was not much different from his own.
Although the young green-robed cultivator was small and looked ugly, he had his own demeanor, and he slightly nodded upon hearing this.
“I know, only a few of you are easy to recognize here…”
After a thought, he still turned to look at the others, seriously saying,
“Everyone remember the names: Yun Qi is now Wang Jia, Vine Grinding is Wang Yi, Corpse-digging is Wang Bing, and Xi Cai is Wang Ding…”
Upon hearing these names, the crowd couldn’t help but fall into slight silence.
The middle-aged cultivator, who had just spoken, hesitated but eventually remained silent.
The green-robed cultivator was quite satisfied with the names he had come up with:
“As for me… let’s go with what we previously discussed. We are cultivators of ‘Primitive Demon Mountain.’ I am the Mountain Lord, without a fixed residence, wandering about… Everyone remember, okay?”
Few responded on the deck.
The green-robed cultivator frowned slightly, but he had no more thoughts to go around reminding each one, so he turned to the middle-aged cultivator who had spoken earlier: “Vine… Wang Yi, Wang Bing, you’ve both come to this Sea Market before, what should we do now?”
The Vine Grinding Ghost King and Corpse-digging Ghost King glanced at each other, then at the distant giant ‘funnel’, and quickly gave their suggestion:
“First, find a place to anchor this Treasure Raft, and then head to the market to gather news about this Sea Market.”
“And exchange for some resources while we’re at it.”
After some hesitation, the Vine Grinding Ghost King seriously said:
“But this time, because of the matters with the Red Sky Palace and Hundred Ghost Mountain, I fear it won’t be too peaceful, so it’s best for everyone to be prepared.”
Listening to the Vine Grinding Ghost King’s words, everyone on the deck grew slightly solemn.
In the somewhat tense atmosphere, the Corpse-digging Ghost King volunteered to go scout for information and left the Treasure Raft.
While the Treasure Raft followed other large Flying Artifacts, slowly sailing towards the gigantic ‘funnel’.
However, as it had yet to arrive, the Corpse-digging Ghost King returned with some unexpected news for everyone on the ship.
“Something big has happened!”
“Aside from the Red Sky Palace and our Hundred Ghost Mountain, there have been seven or eight factions wiped out over the years!”
