Chapter 64: Chapter 62: Junior Brother, hurry, let’s make way for the boss! _1

"Elder Brother, representatives from the Rebirth Hall will also be present at the banquet," said Li Daoran.

"And it seems that Emperor Song’s trusted agents, Black and White Impermanence, will be among them."

"So, I want you to see if you can establish a relationship with Black and White Impermanence when you go there."

"See if you can learn something about the incoming Earth Bodhisattva through them."

Having said this, Li Daoran looked expectantly at Xuan Qingzi.

"Alright, Sect Leader. I’ll pay attention to this."

Xuan Qingzi understood the importance of this matter and did not refuse.

After all, they really know nothing about the Earth Bodhisattva that the Rebirth Hall is going to dispatch to take over the Underworld Territory next.

If they could learn something about him during this trip to Tianxiang Pavilion,

It would indeed be of great benefit to the Tianshui Sect.

At least, they wouldn’t be too passive in many major directions.

"Then I leave this matter to you, Elder Brother." Li Daoran nodded.

"Set off!"

Shortly after explaining everything, Chen Chang’an and his group of ten boarded the Tianshui’s flying boat and set off.

The Tianshui’s flying boat, like Mao Ruxue’s, also came from the Heavenly Hidden Sect.

However, compared to Mao Ruxue’s, this one was much more high-end.

The hull of the ship was nearly as large as an ancient god mountain, larger and more vast, and its speed was much faster.

Of course.

The price was also a whole tier higher.

Without a large group like a sect, it was basically unaffordable for an individual.

According to Chen Chang’an, the Tianshui Sect spent the equivalent of about two whole ore veins to buy this high-end flying boat.

The price was indeed high.

High in the sky, the massive flying boat advanced at great speed.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred miles of cloud layer were brutally left behind.

Below, each mountaintop flowed by like a river.

The towering mountains that were in front of them a moment ago were already left far behind, disappearing from sight.

The buzzing sound was pervasive!

Both the earth and the sky echoed with the sounds of the flying boat breaking through the sky.

Although there was a shield barrier inside the flying boat, it didn’t seem too noisy.

But to the creatures outside, it was nothing short of an auditory and visual catastrophe!

"Sect Leader Elder Brother, Sect Leader Elder Brother, what’s that?"

Tens of miles away from the Tianshui, another flying boat named ’Fire Splitter’ was also advancing.

Suddenly, an old man on the ship sensed something wrong, turned his head, and saw the Tianshui’s flying boat rapidly charging in their direction.

He immediately got startled and quickly informed his Sect Leader Elder Brother, the Thousand Clouds Daoist.

"What’s wrong, Disciple? We haven’t even left our sect’s territory yet."

"What scared you so much?"

The Thousand Clouds Daoist looked questioningly at his disciple and then turned to look behind.

He also saw the Tianshui’s flying boat rapidly approaching.

The Thousand Clouds Daoist laughed.

"Disciple Thousand Leaves, am I seeing things correctly? It’s just the Tianshui Sect. Is there a need to be so scared?"

"I’ve always thought of you as fearless of everything."

"Was it necessary?"

The Thousand Clouds Daoist indeed laughed, poking fun at his frightened disciple. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Just a moment ago, he thought it was some major Dao Paths arriving, but it turns out it was just the Tianshui Sect.

The Tianshui Sect, it was all too familiar to him.

Even though the Fire Splitter Sect and the Tianshui Sect could not be considered as neighbors, they were only separated by a single territory and both belonged to the Underworld Sea’s territory.

Even though the two sects didn’t communicate much on ordinary days, they did have some understanding of each other’s situation.

Anyway, in summary, the overall strength of the two sects was equal.

Neither would bow down to the other.

This was exactly why the Thousand Clouds Daoist didn’t understand why his disciple was so suddenly scared.

"No, Elder Brother, times have changed. Remember the Great Scholar from the other day who was all the talk of the town?"

"That Great Scholar is from the Tianshui Sect!"

"I remember, what about it? He is just a Great Scholar. What’s the relation there?"

The Thousand Clouds Daoist asked in confusion.

Indeed, a Great Scholar could greatly enhance the combat power of the Tianshui Sect.

But that was just a single Great Scholar.

No matter how awesome he was, his lifespan was limited, and he would only be awesome for this period of time. After a hundred years, he would be buried in the yellow dirt.

Was there a need to be afraid?

Thousand Leaves Daoist let out a long sigh, then said mournily and enviously:

"Sect Leader Elder Brother, it’s not like that."

"What they have is not just a common Great Scholar, but a Great Scholar with a literary vein!"

"Moreover, the efficiency with which he cultivates literature is simply inhuman."

"Sect Leader Elder Brother, you’ve been retreating these past few days, so you don’t know what has happened."

"You don’t know that because of the arrival of the Great Scholar Chen Chang’an, not only do all the disciples of the Tianshui Sect now have literary Qi...

Even a dog guarding the door has literary Qi!"

"Holy shit!"

"Is what you’re saying true, Disciple?"

Upon hearing what Thousand Leaves Daoist had said, the Thousand Clouds Daoist involuntarily exclaimed.

He knows all too well what possessing literary Qi means.

But this was something very rare.

Can’t you see that he, the Thousand Clouds Daoist, had not been able to get a touch of literary Qi after so many years, despite his highly advanced Daoist cultivation?

Thousand Leaves Daoist nodded, then said reminiscently:

"Sect Leader Elder Brother, it’s true, I personally went over to observe."

I remember when I was there; I encountered a dog named Erhuang."

You wouldn’t know, Elder Brother, the concentration of literary Qi on that dog...

"Even ordinary scholars can’t match it, let alone an ordinary Confucian!"

"And there is also a chicken called Chicken Brother, who is horrifying as well, it can follow people and practice martial arts..."

"I don’t know if someday we can also invite that Great Scholar over to help me open the literary Qi..."

"Hey, hey, Elder Brother, what are you doing?"

As Thousand Leaves Daoist was speaking, he suddenly noticed that his Elder Brother, Thousand Clouds Daoist, had risen from his seat to take the helm.

But he didn’t fly the ship forward, but rather seemed to be trying to dock the ship to the side?!

"Disciple, stop talking and come over to help me; we need to make way for the key player!"

...

The flying boat was very fast. After about three days, Chen Chang’an and his party finally reached the South Territory.

As soon as they entered the South Territory, the first thing that appeared before everyone’s eyes was a vast, azure sea.

The great sea seemed endless, its extents beyond sight. It was said that this southern sea had no end, with the World Sea lying beyond its reaches.

"Wow, Elder Brother, the sea is so big!"

Mao Ruxue stood on the deck of the flying boat, looking at the vast southern sea below, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Chen Chang’an, however, didn’t respond to Mao Ruxue’s words.

He was leaning against a chair in the middle of the ship, his gaze also focused on the sea ahead.

But more than that, he was looking at a much more distant place.

Over there.

Several dazzling sword lights.

They were rushing towards them at an extremely fast pace.

Their speed was so swift.

As quick as a startled swan!
