Chapter 438: Crossing the Sea of Nothingness
Chen Gong couldn't help but be a little disappointed that he didn't find the second space-time stone, but then he secretly laughed that he was too greedy, this kind of thing is hard to find, and it is already excellent luck to be able to get one, and he actually has to think even more.
Although he has the space-time stone, Chen Gong does not plan to return to the Evil Horse Continent to use the teleportation array, first, the coordinates of the teleportation and the location of the teleportation array still need to be confirmed, which is really troublesome for his current identity; second, the space-time stone is extremely precious, and now he can go to the central continent by boat, so there is no need to waste an opportunity to use it.
Chen Gong returned to the Gathering Spirit Wood Sea Ship, and the frightened crew saw Chen Gong come back and immediately found the backbone. Although Bi Yuan and the other four escaped, fortunately, the sailing work of the sea ship was basically taken care of by the professional crew on board, and Chen Gong only needed to maintain the operation of the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation.
Chen Gong had nine primordial infants, and he could completely separate the nine primordial infants from the merging state, and then take turns to preside over the operation of the sea ship spirit gathering formation, which would not hinder his cultivation.
After more than two months of sailing, although there were several incidents of sea beasts attacking sea ships, but the strength of these sea beasts was not very strong, Chen Gong easily sent them away, from the bodies of these sea beasts, Chen Gong did not find the time and space stone, but unexpectedly found a few sea beast inner pills.
These sea beasts of the Sea of Nothingness, their wisdom is much lower than that of the demon beasts on the continent, and they can't cultivate normally at all, and the most they have in their bodies is to condense the inner pill, but they can't carry out self-cultivation, and they can't break the pill into a baby, and the spiritual power contained in the inner pill will only become more and more powerful, becoming an extremely precious main material for cultivators' alchemy.
Through this period of sailing, Chen Gong inevitably had to deal with the seafarers on the sea, among which the captain in charge was named Zheng Xiyang, a capable man in his forties and fifties, who had dealt with the Sea of Nothingness for many years, although he had not had the experience of crossing the Sea of Nothingness to the Central Continent, but he was the best sailor in the entire Akioka country, and he was also a good hand in business, and he himself was an important member of a big family in Akioka that started by sea trade.
Chen Gong attached great importance to Zheng Xiyang and taught him some introductory exercises for cultivation, so that this mortal nobleman who had an identity and status in the secular world and no longer had much pursuit of power and wealth completely threw himself into Chen Gong, and he was desperate for him, and he obeyed his orders. Sometimes what wins people's hearts is not necessarily the spirit of a king, but just what they like.
"Are you saying that you will soon arrive at the Central Continent?" Chen Gong looked at the respectful Zheng Xiyang in front of him, his calm appearance could hardly hide the excitement in his heart.
"Yes, Immortal Master. Based on my many years of experience, the current situation in the Sea of Nothingness can only appear when it is close to the mainland coastline. I think we should do some preparation in advance. Zheng Xiyang said. He was full of awe for the young man in front of him, it was he who casually opened up all the meridians of his body, allowing himself to directly enter the innate realm, and then another elixir, consolidating his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, so that he finally entered the realm of cultivation that he had dreamed of.
"Oh, what do you mean by preparation?" Chen Gong asked with some curiosity.
Zheng Xiyang had faintly heard of Chen Gong's identity, after all, he was the person in charge of the specific affairs on the ship. But what does it matter, as a member of the side branch of the family, his status in the world has been unelevated, and he has even been excluded by the family because of his high merits, otherwise he would not have been elected by the family to accept this fundamental voyage exploration mission. Now in his eyes, Chen Gong is the master he is loyal to, and he is the hope of continuing the path of cultivation.
"Immortal Master, Akihamon has made a few plans in order to explore this route. Once the route is successfully opened up and we reach the Central Continent, we will trade with the other party in the name of the Evil Horse Continent caravan, and then find a way to fix the voyage. Zheng Xiyang said.
Chen Gong nodded and said, "You can be responsible for this matter, if there is anything that needs me to come forward, you can come to me directly." If nothing else, you go down. ”
Zheng Xiyang took the order and bowed away, leaving Chen Gong alone in the room thinking about the future.
This trip to the Central Continent, no matter whether or not he can successfully contact the Kunlun faction, he will start planning for future development. The first task is naturally to reconnect with the earth, for the Earth Kunlun Sect, which has poured a lot of effort into it, Chen Gong believes that the Source Realm is a vast world that is more suitable for its continued development, and it is absolutely impossible to have a future if it is limited to that part of the earth, with the development of earth technology, the aura of heaven and earth will only become thinner and thinner, and before he has the ability to fundamentally change that situation, he can only transfer the elite disciples of the sect to the Source Realm.
However, the Source Realm is even more dangerous than the Earth, and if you are not careful, it will be the disaster of the Sect Extermination. Now Chen Gong has not seen what kind of situation the scientific and technological civilization here is, just some cultivation forces make him feel that he cannot fight for the time being, the Evil Horse Continent is not the strongest continent of cultivation forces, and any sect there can completely wipe out the Kunlun Sect on the earth, so the matter of migration should be considered in the long run, and it is best to start preparing now.
Chen Gong is a person who sees far ahead, even if he is not yet sure of returning to the earth, but he believes that God will only favor those who are prepared, whether it is for the development of the Kunlun faction in the future, or for his own convenience now, it is necessary to develop some of his own forces, and the first step is to start with this sea ship.
The Gathering Spirit Wood Sea Ship sailed for about two more days, and on this day, Chen Gong, who was cultivating in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, got up, and came to the deck.
Zheng Xiyang, who was commanding the seafarers, saw Chen Gong walk out of the cabin, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Chen Gong, and said respectfully: "Immortal Master, do you have any orders?"
Chen Gong waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and said lightly: "You prepare, we have guests here." ”
"Guest?" Zheng Xiyang was stunned, and before he could understand, there was a sound of a howling wind in the sky in the distance, but the sound was quite strange, as if they were gathered together and approached the side of the sea ship.
Chen Gong listened to this very familiar voice, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and in a place where Zheng Xiyang couldn't see, he saw something familiar and unfamiliar.
It is said to be familiar, because it is a flying machine similar to a helicopter in the earth's world, and it is very similar to a helicopter on earth in terms of appearance and power.
However, the helicopter in this source realm is much larger than that on Earth, and there are not just one, but six propellers, and the huge fuselage below can carry at least nearly a hundred people, enough to transport an armed team.
As the sound got louder and louder, the flying machine got closer and closer, and finally Zheng Xiyang and the rest of the crew could see its appearance clearly.
The crew, who had never left the Evil Horse Continent and had seen the products of technology, began to stir, thinking that it was some strange monster. Although Zheng Xiyang was also shocked in his heart, after all, the calming kung fu was much stronger, and with Chen Gong by his side, he naturally had nothing to be afraid of, so he hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, so that the crew quickly calmed down, even if there was still some uneasy emotions, but at least there was nothing unusual on the surface.
Chen Gong nodded secretly, this Zheng Xiyang is calm, tactful, and reliable, but he is an object worth continuing to cultivate.
Soon, the large aircraft had approached the sea vessel, and a voice from above, which was obviously amplified by a megaphone: "The sea ship below will stop immediately, identify itself, and be checked!"
Zheng Xiyang looked at Chen Gong, and after seeing Chen Gong nodding, he loudly ordered the ship to stop, and then mobilized his spiritual power and responded loudly: "We are a caravan from the Evil Horse Continent, and we have come to trade in your land. Are you a member of the Boeli Business Alliance?"
Akibamon had already put a lot of effort into trying to open up this new route. For ordinary secular people, they may not know anything about the Central Continent, but as one of the cultivators of the Evil Horse Continent, they still have some understanding of some basic conditions of the Central Continent.
From the Akioka Province of the Evil Horse Continent to the sea, all the way to the southwest, you can reach the Boli Commercial Union, one of the eight major forces in the Central Continent. This is a joint force composed of large and small business alliances with extremely developed commerce, and its military power may not be very strong, but its economic power is known as the first in the source world, and it is a huge commercial economy.
The Boli Business Alliance is the only major force in the Central Continent that has declared absolute neutrality, it treats any civilization and force equally, as long as there is profit to be made, it does not mind doing business with people from any civilization or any continent.
The foreign trade of the Evil Horse Continent has always been controlled by the Imperial Horse Sect, and even if the Akiba Gate has any goods and resources to trade, it will be heavily taxed by the Imperial Horse Sect, making the actual profit of the transaction pitifully low, so it is not a day or two that the Akiba Gate, which rules the coastal country, wants to open up a new sea route.
In the past, the Autumn Leaf Sect had neither that strength nor that guts, and in the face of the strong suppression of the Imperial Horse Sect, all the Xiuzhen sects in the Evil Horse Continent chose to give in. But now that the chaos in the western part of the evil horse has risen, the Imperial Horse Sect is too busy to take care of itself, and it no longer has the energy to take care of the situation in the east, so there is the expansion of the Black Evil Gate and the navigation test of the Akiba Gate.
Cavill is the captain of the Coast Patrol under the Sayano Business Alliance, and he is quite full of this position and salary, the only thing that makes him unhappy is that as a member of the Coast Patrol, he must regularly take a helicopter to guard the safety of the coastline to which Sayano belongs.
And the damn sea of nothingness will devour all the magic and energy, and when the time comes, they will have to replace them with the most primitive gunpowder weapons. This backward weapon gave Cavill no sense of security, and if it weren't for the fact that he could fly high in a mechanically powered helicopter, he wouldn't have dared to patrol the sea area where sea beasts were often infested.
Cavill thought that today would be another day of fear and idleness, and was about to order the crew to return to the voyage, when the observer came to report that a very backward wooden sailing ship had appeared in the northeast.
