Chapter 982: Chapter 57: Ancient Yin Warship, Holy Word Academy, Xiyin Dragon Stone
A beam of light suddenly shone on his body.
Zhao Xing felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if a space-time tunnel appeared around him.
Countless green and blue light spots were retreating.
The speed seemed to be accelerating, and the dots quickly turned into lines.
"We are now crossing the barrier between the Yin and Yang realms, and this place is relatively weak."
"To traverse by yourself, it would take approximately three quarters of an hour, two ke during the Yin period."
Zhao Xing listened silently.
The time in the mortal world and the underworld is different, so it is calculated independently.
However, since the Tianyang True Monarch took his soul, it only took one minute.
"We’ve arrived."
The tunnel vision around disappeared, and the Tianyang True Monarch patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder.
Arrived?
Zhao Xing looked around and found himself inside a resplendent and magnificent palace.
The light was bright, magnificent and solemn, with none of the eerie feelings he had imagined.
"This is the Tianyang Palace, my dwelling in the Yin Realm."
"Don’t be fooled by its similarity to the human world; the outside is quite different."
The Tianyang True Monarch led Zhao Xing outside.
Upon reaching the palace gates, the situation was indeed different.
"Whew~"
A gust of Yin Wind blew in, and the chilling sensation instantly appeared.
Zhao Xing looked up.
The sky was dark, and the Yin Wind howled and roared above.
In the southern sky, green lights appeared, resembling auroras.
In the northern sky, there was a single strand of bluish light, floating like silk.
In the howling Yin Wind, Zhao Xing saw many spectral shadows, and the sky also had some unknown creatures swimming.
He also saw some shadows of people in official attire or armor flickering.
Zhao Xing flew up into the sky with the Tianyang True Monarch and discovered that this was indeed the Tianyang True Monarch’s private residence.
The entire land was desolate, with only this lone palace standing.
If it were a court institution, like the Heavenly Official or the Earth Court, there would definitely be clusters of buildings, not as desolate as it is now.
Zhao Xing carefully sensed and discovered that the earth veins here were entirely of the Yin Five Elements, rapidly flowing without any pattern.
If you were to plant a seedling here, as soon as you sow it, the next second it could end up thousands of miles away.
The world is like this, following a certain pattern of space-time transformation.
To have a stable world in the Yin Realm to build a palace is truly not easy.
Of course, not all places are like this.
It’s just that the situation in Tianyong State is more pronounced.
In other states, there are patterns to follow.
The Yin Gods precisely use this special and rapid flow to cross long distances.
Information transmission between county governments is instantaneous.
Thus, having a Yin God deliver messages is the fastest way.
"Disciple’s grandchild, I originally planted some things here to enhance the Life Soul, which could elevate your Life Soul to Third Grade Middle Stage."
"Since you have already broken through to Third Grade, these things are no longer useful." The Tianyang True Monarch pointed to a vegetable patch behind the palace, where there was a pond with many strange plants and trees.
"However, those are just appetizers. The real treasure is this." The Tianyang True Monarch reached out his hand.
A blue light flickered inside the palace, and a disk-shaped object appeared in his hand.
"Master Ancestor, what is this?" Zhao Xing glanced at it, unable to understand its intricacies, as his Memory Palace was currently sealed.
"Shang Tang Order."
Zhao Xing remained puzzled.
The Tianyang True Monarch smiled, "Take a look, and you’ll understand."
The sky, which was already dark, grew even darker.
In the howling Yin Wind, a shadow suddenly appeared.
At first, Zhao Xing thought it was a flag.
But soon, a bird’s head emerged from the Yin Wind.
Then came two more flags and poles.
Then came the dark hull of a ship.
Once its full appearance was revealed, Zhao Xing realized it was a ship.
"Ancient ’Yin’ Warship?"
Zhao Xing quickly identified it.
Each of the three flags bore ancient characters, one of which was ’Yin.’
Additionally, the hull and flags were embroidered with patterns of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird.
"That’s right, this is the Yin Dynasty’s crafted ship for crossing between the Yin and Yang realms."
"You can also call it the Ancient Yin Warship, or the Yin Yang Warship."
The Tianyang True Monarch said, "The Shang Tang Order is used to summon this ship."
Zhao Xing observed the warship and asked, "Master Ancestor, can it traverse the Yin and Yang realms?"
The Tianyang True Monarch replied, "Yes, and it can reach any location."
"Anywhere corresponding in the mortal world, if you summon it with the Shang Tang Order, it will quickly arrive, tear through the realms, and take you away."
"Its speed is extremely fast, almost unobstructed in the Yin Realm."
"Capturing it was also very difficult; it took a long time to obtain one like this."
"Its level is very high, likely reserved for the Royal Family of the Yin Dynasty."
Zhao Xing was stunned, fully realizing the significance it held.
"Master Ancestor, such a precious item, you want to give it to me?"
The Tianyang True Monarch smiled, "Not exactly gifted for your personal ownership, but lent to you for use."
"It’s the property of the Yin Realm’s Minister of Agriculture God. After Li Boqian’s death, it’s under its management."
"However, he can live for a while yet, so during my period of control, you may use it."
"Aren’t you heading to the Dragon Court Ancient Land? If you encounter a formidable enemy with no escape route, then the Yin Realm presents an alternative."
The Tianyang True Monarch led Zhao Xing onto the Ancient Yin Warship, "This ship can tear through the Yin and Yang realm walls, taking both your physical body and soul with you."
"Once aboard, even a First Grade enemy won’t be able to catch up with you."
"Because their physical bodies cannot enter the Yin Realm, only their souls can."
"Even a First Grade Primordial Soul trying to chase the Ancient Yin Warship in here is impossible."
"You can then escape back, and use it again to tear through the realm wall to return to the mortal world."
