A third of the front of the boat crashed into the enormous ice mountain, while the remaining two-thirds of the boat was suspended above the ice plains. Looking down from the sky above the ship right now, one could see that the entire boat was like a giant fish wagging its tail.
All of the Dao Realm cultivators who had been sitting on the ship knew that the instant the ship began to sway, it meant that the ship, which had been unstoppable since time immemorial, was at the end of its tether.
After a short period of calm, the Dao Realm experts in the boat didn’t become more cautious. On the contrary, the competition for the various treasures in the boat became even more intense. The situation on the boat also became increasingly chaotic.
“Brother Yang, what do you plan on doing next?”
Taoist Jiangxin asked Yang Junshan.
The enormous hull of the boat along with the spatial energy it contained had weakened the momentum generated by the battles between Dao Realm experts. However, Flying Sword Sect’s three Daofathers and Yang Junshan were still able to sense the changes that were happening inside the boat.
Yang Junshan muttered to himself: “To be honest, I have a bad feeling about this, this trip to the storm gorge is extremely strange, and there are many things that are puzzling about this ship. I actually want to leave this place first, but what are you planning to do next, Flying School?”
When Taoist Jiangxin heard this, he laughed: “This is just a coincidence, my Flying School, this time, is only here for the fixed sea anchor. Patriarch Dongliu has orders, but we only know that there are enough fixed sea anchor s, and we cannot recite them again.
Yang Junshan was startled for a moment, and said: “Senior Dongliu’s instructions, could it be that the hidden meaning behind his words is also saying that there might be other dangers involved with this boat?”
The Taoist Jiangxin was startled, and said: “About that, Master Dongliu did not say it, could it be that Master Ancestor has said something like that?”
Taoist Jiangxin turned his head as he spoke, the latter half of his sentence was obviously asking for the two elders’ opinions.
Taoist Dongxu laughed: “Senior Dongliu did not explicitly state that there are other risks, but since Dinghai Zhou has attracted many foreign powers and Dao Realm experts, there is no need to mention the risks involved. In my opinion, Senior Dongliu’s words are more due to the importance of the fixed sea anchor, and may attract the attention of other powers, and in fact, Violet Firmament Pavilion is one of them. If little friend Jun Shan arrived in time, our Flying Sword Sect might not have been able to obtain the fixed sea anchor.”
The Eastern Xu Daoist also added, “Several thousand years ago, our sect had a senior who had a relationship with Daoist Golden Ark and was fortunate enough to board the boat, at that time, we had a very deep impression of the fixed sea anchor, not only was it able to calm the sea, it was also able to restrict space, and it was also able to interfere with any spatial abilities. At that time, our sect’s senior determined that this thing would definitely have a great use in suppressing the Thousand Lake Eye, and requested Daoist Golden Ark to refine this anchor, but Daoist Golden Ark only smiled and did not speak.
However, Yang Junshan still had a feeling that the cultivation world in this ocean who had plotted to pull him into the storm gorge’s Sea Ark this time around must have been planning something. This was also the reason why he took the opportunity to get rid of the foreign forces in the middle of the spatial barrier.
Furthermore, Yang Junshan had already gained quite a bit from the boat. Whether it was the pot of dragon blood, the middle-grade treasure longbow, the Thousand Gold Sand, or the Earth Mat, they were all considered rare treasures in the cultivation world.
If he stopped at this time and took the opportunity to withdraw from storm gorge and return to Yuzhou, the Four Major Sects would not be able to blame him at all. After all, the contributions he had made when advancing through the spatial barrier was obvious to all and he had even helped a few of them.
Just as Yang Junshan and the three Flying School Dao Cultivators were preparing to leave the storm gorge together, the sudden change that happened on the boat also caused everyone to be drawn in.
As Daoist Golden Boat’s masterpiece, there was no doubt about its power. Normally, there were two types of behavior: one was like a normal sea boat, with a mast, a huge sail, and the other was like an island with a superstructure that could take care of the flight in the sky; the other was like a closed sea boat, with the mast and the superstructure on the deck retracted into the body of the ship. This was to allow the boat to dive deeper into the sea without being destroyed by the immense pressure from the seabed.
Of course, when the ship took the shape of a shuttle, it could also fly in the sky. Although it did not last as long as the giant ship, the speed at which it exploded was undoubtedly faster.
The entire hull of the ship suddenly changed from its original shuttle shaped hull to the huge sail boat. As the deck area expanded, the superstructure of the ship began to rise from the inside of the ship, and seven or eight masts of different sizes were erected along with it, especially the huge log that acted as the main mast, which was especially eye-catching. The only thing that could be seen was the sails, causing the few masts that were erected to appear somewhat out of place.
“This is Wang Mu of the Myriad Spirit Mulberry City?” Yang Junshan asked in astonishment.
He was naturally able to confirm that the giant piece of wood that was the main mast was Wang Mu of the Spirit Sang Wang. Thinking about how the keel of the boat was actually the dragon bone of the True Dragon, he was almost 90% sure that the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Sang Wang was used as the main mast of the boat.
The people of the East Pavilion came to Yang Junshan’s side at the same time, their eyes burning with passion as they looked at the building that was built inside the boat, and muttered to themselves: “This place should be the true core of the boat, right?”
Yang Junshan was startled, then he heard another voice coming from the side, and said: “That’s right, do you think that the upper level cabin would contain the corpse of Daoist Jin Zhou?”
After Yang Junshan heard the words of the two Daoists, he looked at the cabin on the deck, his eyes blazing with fire.
As one of the top Daoist Huang Ting several thousand years ago, as someone who pursued the same goal as Jiu Ren, the Sky Constitution, and the Blue Profound, everyone knew that Daoist Golden Ark’s most precious inheritance was definitely on him or at his side. And the upper story structure that had just emerged from the ship was undoubtedly the core of the boat, which was also the place where Daoist Golden Ark would most likely pass away in meditation.
“Um, two grandmasters, Brother Yang, shouldn’t we leave the ship first?” The voice of the Taoist Jiangxin came from behind the three of them.
Compared to the burning gazes of Yang Junshan, the three people of Eastern Tower and the three people of Eastern Xu, Taoist Jiangxin seemed much calmer at this time because he was aware of his own strength. Being able to obtain the recognition of the fixed sea anchor as master this time was already his heaven defying luck.
The expressions of Yang Junshan, Eastern Tower and Eastern Xu slightly froze for a moment, and the greed in their eyes also decreased slightly.
However, right at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the other side of the deck: “Quick, Daoist Jin Zhou’s Heavenly and Earthly Abilities back then was unrivalled overseas. That’s the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers that is in the top ten rankings, it is definitely stored in the core cabin of the ship.”
With this loud shout, a violent battle broke out on the other side of the deck. Several spatial domains fought with each other, and the space above the ship was torn apart. It was obvious that they were fighting to be the first to enter the upper deck.
At this time, Yang Junshan, Dong Lou and Dong Xu were also ready to make a move.
But just at that moment, countless more beams of light suddenly rushed up from the two sides of the ship, all of these Dao Realm experts were also headed towards the upper deck, while Yang Junshan and the three Flying School s who were already standing on the deck of the ship were naturally treated as competitors, the few divine powers almost instantly causing the four of them to become embroiled in a chaotic battle.
Facing the encirclement of several Dao Realm experts, Yang Junshan lowered the “impregnable” protective light curtain almost instantly. Compared to Yang Junshan’s counterattack, the three Dao cultivators of Flying School chose to counterattack immediately, as the sharp sword light wreaked havoc on the back of the boat, slicing apart the divine abilities of the Dao Patriarchs.
In truth, as Dao Realm experts born in a sword cultivation sect, once the two Eastern Tower Patriarchs used their sword arts, they would never be weak in the eyes of cultivators of the same Qingyun Realm. Even the weakest Taoist Jiangxin would have the ability to protect themselves.
The sudden outbreak of battle left Yang Junshan and the rest with nowhere to retreat to, but in truth, when the core cabin of the boat appeared, Yang Junshan and the rest no longer had any thoughts of retreating, and the chance was right in front of them, if they did not fight, they would inevitably regret their positions in the future.
The instant Yang Junshan protected himself, the mountain breaking mace appeared in his hands. The countless divine abilities in front of him were smashed into pieces by his trump card, and with a flash of light beneath his feet, he took the initiative to rush towards the center of the deck where the core cabin was located.
