Chapter 331: The Two Realms Passage on the Sea.
Sha Diao used his spiritual sense to examine the contents of the jade slip.
"Amazing!" Sha Diao exclaimed, sounding like a young boy who had just cracked a tough math problem.
"The Grand Elder’s teleportation formation rune sequence is absolutely brilliant," Sha Diao said, completely absorbed.
“Alright, take it back and study it at your own pace. Once you’ve fully grasped it, come to me for the next version of the teleportation formation,” Xu Fan said with a grin, clearly enjoying the moment.
Facing the admiring gazes of everyone, Xu Fan declared, “Let’s go. Today, I’ll take you on a journey deep into the Endless Sea.”
Just then, Feng Chang Ning appeared on the Sea Ship.
“Now that everyone’s here, let’s set sail.”
With a wave of his hand, Xu Fan summoned hundreds of puppets onto the Sea Ship, which quickly moved to their assigned positions.
A single Core Formation stage cultivator could only get the Sea Ship moving; tasks like flying, firing the main cannon and secondary cannons, adjusting direction, and controlling speed required the efforts of the entire crew.
But now, with the puppets, all these tasks could be handled effortlessly.
As the Sea Ship’s hull gave a slight shudder, the massive thirty-thousand-meter-long vessel began to slowly turn, heading deeper into the Endless Sea.
Everyone stood on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.
Suddenly, Xu Fan had an idea.
“Brother Sha, do you think we could install a one-way teleportation formation on the Sea Ship to transport the entire vessel?” Xu Fan asked.
“You mean something like the one at Upper Zun Fairy City?” Sha Diao replied.
“Exactly.”
“Without a teleportation medium, we’d need to set up the opposing formation in advance. Plus, it would consume an enormous amount of spiritual energy,” Sha Diao said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
“Alright,” Xu Fan said, already considering other options.
At that moment, the sea in the distance began to churn as tens of thousands of Void Refinement stage beasts charged toward the Sea Ship.
“Good thing we’ve got rune cannonballs in the hold. Relying solely on spiritual energy would be too wasteful.”
From both sides of the Sea Ship, hundreds of secondary cannons extended.
“Boom~~”
Hundreds of beams of spiritual energy shot toward the oncoming beast tide.
The sea lit up like a rising red sun, followed by a massive explosion that swept across the water.
Waves thousands of meters high crashed against the protective shield of the Sea Ship.
“Master, all the sea beasts have been eliminated,” Grape reported.
“Got it,” Xu Fan replied. He didn’t need to look to know that the beasts in the tide had been reduced to scraps, leaving nothing of value.
Xu Fan glanced around; they were already in deep-sea territory. If they ventured further, they might encounter Great Ascension stage beasts.
“Release the underwater detection puppets. Let’s see if there’s anything valuable around here,” Xu Fan ordered.
“Master, look,” Xu Gang said, his eyes glowing with spiritual light as he pointed into the distance.
Far off, a saw-toothed tiger shark, easily a thousand meters long, was charging straight toward the Sea Ship.
At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly felt tense; this thing appeared out of nowhere.
“Prepare the main cannon!” Xu Fan instructed.
A giant cannon barrel extended from the turret on the upper level of the Sea Ship.
Seeing this barrel, Xu Fan let out a slight sigh.
“What’s wrong, Master?” Xu Yuexian asked.
“It’s nothing, just feeling foolish when I was younger,” Xu Fan reflected. Back then on the Floating Sky Ship, he learned the cost of a shot from the main cannon, but only after having the Sea Ship did he realize he misunderstood the unit of spirit stones at that time.
Before Xu Fan could dwell on his thoughts, the entire ship trembled, and the thick cannon hole of the main cannon blazed with fire as a freezing Ice Thunder cannonball roared toward the distant orca.
“That shot costs 5 million spirit stones,” Xu Fan’s voice trembled slightly.
“Grand Elder, is something wrong?” Sha Diao asked curiously.
“It’s nothing, just feels like it’s not worth it.”
‘Crack~’
A strange sound erupted, and both the orca and the surrounding sea had turned into an icy domain; however, the icy domain quickly shattered, and the orca, nursing its injuries, fled into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“Perhaps that shot was a bit too early, but the goal of driving it away has been achieved,” Xu Gang commented.
“………”
Did that mean he used 5 million spirit stones to pop a water bubble?
Feng Chang Ning quietly gazed out over the lake surface, coming to a deeper realization.
The methods of the mortal dynasty were outdated; to regain former glory here, they needed resources to reign supreme; otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to fire a cannon in the future.
“Let’s dock here; I sense there must be good things nearby,” Xu Fan said.
“That’s very possible. Places where beasts gather are usually treasures as well,” Sha Diao replied, drawing from his rich experience from accompanying the Floating Sky Ship to sea frequently when at Que Tian Gate.
Then, Xu Fan released countless underwater puppets to explore the surroundings.
Meanwhile, everyone on the deck began fishing for fun.
Xu Fan noticed the sea surface was calm and the weather was nice, so he waved his hand, and everyone enjoyed an outdoor seafood barbecue.
“Master, here are the spirit ores and Spiritual Treasures discovered in the area.”
A light curtain appeared, displaying the spirit ores found in the surrounding sea.
“Not bad; there’s even a small artifact-level spirit ore,” Sha Diao leaned over to look at the light curtain.
“Xuanjin sand, not bad. It should be enough to carve the teleportation formation on the Sea Ship,” Xu Fan said with a smile, satisfied with this haul.
“Let’s mine with all our strength.”
“Understood,” Grape replied.
“What a pity! No matter how good this Sea Ship is, it still belongs to others,” Sha Diao lamented, knowing that the sect had a damaged Star Ship, but it would be a long way to repair it. For now, a Sea Ship was more practical.
“Brother Sha, why rush? Just wait; everything will come in time,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“True, with the Grand Elder around, having a few more Sea Ships in the future will be no small matter,” Sha Diao said, grinning.
At that moment, a strange aura suddenly emanated from the distance.
“The natural passage between the two realms!” Xu Fan exclaimed.
The Sea Ship stopped in front of the natural passage between the two realms, and Xu Fan’s expression grew serious.
“Master, should we move again?” Xu Gang, who understood Xu Fan well, asked.
“We still don’t know the situation, so why move?” Xu Fan replied, summoning a tool puppet to enter the passage between the two realms.
“Grape, activate the spirit stones in the treasury to charge the sect’s base,” Xu Fan discreetly instructed.
“Grand Elder, what is the natural passage between the two realms?” Feng Chang Ning asked, her face paling, fearing her newly started dynasty was at risk.
“You guessed it; it’s the passage connecting to the demon race,” Xu Fan said directly, shattering Feng Chang Ning’s hopes.
“But there’s still a chance; let’s assess the situation first,” Xu Fan reassured.
Three days later, after the nearby sea area’s surface spirit ores were completely mined, the tool puppet also returned from the passage.
Xu Fan pressed down on the puppet’s head with one hand, extracting the information from its core.
After a long while, Xu Fan said, “Lucky for us, the other side is a desolate barren land; it is estimated there are no beast tribes within a ten-thousand-mile radius.”
