Zhu Junhou and Gu Liekong, who were in charge of commanding the warships, were both slightly shocked. They knew about this Hailing Plains, but in the past when Gantian Mountain came down to hunt, they had never gone there.
Although that region was where beasts gathered, it was too far away. Not to mention Gantian Mountain, even the other cities and hidden sects rarely went there.
They originally wanted to persuade him, but thinking about the 800 energy destroying crossbows Zong Shou bought, for some reason they had more confidence.
Moreover, such a secluded place had its benefits. At least Taoyun City, which had been established for tens of years and had numerous cloud ships, knew very little about that place, close to nothing.
Which was why they didn't say anything more, ordering the entire fleet to turn towards the south.
From the cloud ocean whirlpool ladder to Hailing Plains, it would take at least 4 days. This was the reason why the various sects and powers rarely headed there to hunt beasts.
Those hidden sects were still okay, but if the Donglin City powers left their elite forces outside for too long, it would cause the city to be weak and would only invite trouble. This was why when Gantian Mountain went to hunt under the cloud ocean, they would choose to go and return quickly.
During these 4 days, Zong Shou locked himself in his sleeping hall. He learned a lot from Xuanyuan Yiren about the purify talisman. Occasionally when he was free, he would chat and flirt with the strict and old-fashioned Yiren or call Xuan Yunlan over to listen to the zither. His days were really leisurely.
Apart from that, a small portion of the time Zong Shou was thinking about something. He took dozens of beast skins and wrote and drew on them. It was like a ghost drawing, but if one looked closely, one could see that it was a map.
Also, the energy seed that Zhao Yanran left behind, he still didn't make up his mind to refine it. This woman was willful and unrestrained, sometimes she was innocent, sometimes she was vicious and merciless. Her thoughts were like a heavenly steed soaring across the skies, making it hard for one to understand.
Although the reverse seed cauldron technique was harmless to him. However, if it was Zhao Yanran, it wouldn't be so simple.
Zong Shou, on the other hand, didn't care. He wasn't afraid of Zhao Yanran either. Even if it was the true Origin Core Cauldron Technique, he was confident that he could win in the end. He just didn't like the feeling of falling into someone else's trap. Even if there was a day when he fell into a trap, he should be the one to see it clearly and choose to step into it himself.
In fact, he didn't really like this woman's personality either.
Therefore, every day, Zong Shou only took out two hours to observe the object in front of him.
On the third day, Zong Shou suddenly sensed something and a smile appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, he did something. Did he turn the tables? Interesting … "
The so-called Origin Embryo Dao Seed was a finger-sized, amber-like object. It was blood-red and crystal clear.
There seemed to be nothing special about it, but it was actually the blood essence in Zhao Yanran's heart. After a year, she performed a secret technique and cultivated it day in and day out.
In a sense, it could even be considered a second primordial spirit. Holding it in his hand, he could feel his soul trembling.
However, within it, the talisman that should have formed the Reverse Embryo Cauldron Technique had been tampered with. It left a chance for Zhao Yanran to turn the tables.
If he couldn't suppress it, this woman would immediately counterattack. Sucking his blood essence and stealing his cultivation, it was really overbearing.
Naturally, in this world, everything was split into Yin and Yang. Zhao Yanran had left herself a chance to turn the tables, but the price she had to pay was far more than a normal reversal.
He could control her life and death, controlling her emotions.
However, if it was a normal situation, he wouldn't care and most probably wouldn't agree. Such a situation, on the contrary, made him a little more interested.
Smiling slightly, Zong Shou didn't hesitate anymore. He absorbed the Origin Embryo Dao Seed into his body.
A portion of it directly turned into a thin blood-colored thread and merged into the true qi in his body. It circulated within his chakra meridians.
The other part fell into his Yuan Soul. It stopped at the center of the soul ocean whirlpool and swiftly dissolved, turning into the purest soul power. It also caused the soul ocean to be dyed in a layer of blood.
However, the core portion was still hanging above, tightly connected with those few True Spiritual Talismans.
In that instance, Zong Shou suddenly comprehended something. He could roughly sense Zhao Yanran's consciousness. It was like he could see the few True Spiritual Talisman seeds in Zhao Yanran's soul ocean. He could even comprehend Zhao Yanran's martial path intent.
"This Seven Spirit Monkey Sect Cauldron Energy Embryo Technique is really interesting."
In terms of martial path, Zhao Yanran would only benefit from it. In terms of spiritual cultivation, Zong Shou benefited a lot.
After meditating for a while, he felt as if there was oil added to his soul sea to ignite it. When he cultivated, the soul power accumulation became faster and faster.
If it was said that he had cultivated with two souls in the past, then at this moment, he was meditating with the power of three souls.
Adding on the Tenth Grade Holy Spirit Level Great Sky Changing Meditation Technique, the speed of advancement was ten times faster than normal Spirit Masters!
The accumulation of true qi was also extremely efficient.
It made Zong Shou feel uneasy and terrified, not daring to continue meditating like before.
With such a cultivation speed, in just a few years he would be able to enter the Day Wandering Realm. Such an improvement was a little too quick.
Before he understood the pros and cons of this, Zong Shou didn't dare to use his strength.
On the morning of the 4th day, Zong Shou once again came to the deck. Hu Zhongyuan and the others were all here. Gu Liekong was on a high platform nearby, using a flag to command the fleet.
When Zong Shou arrived, all of their expressions were filled with righteous rage and annoyance.
"It seems like this Taoyun City really wants to go against our Gantian Mountain to the end."
Chai Yuan's son Chai Zhou's expression was dark and sunken, suppressing the rage on his face, "They have already followed us for 3 days and still aren't willing to give up. If this goes on why don't we turn back and have a huge battle with them! Even if we die it would be great! "
Although Hu Zhongyuan and the others didn't speak, their hearts were filled with worry.
Only Zong Yuan, Tan Tao, and that Ling Xuan kept silent, their expressions calm, not happy nor angry.
As for that Lingyun Sect's Jing Tao Zhenren, he was looking around at the scenery, totally not getting involved.
Zong Shou looked out from afar and asked several times. In just a moment, he understood why these people were so angry.
The cloud ships of the 3 cities didn't just follow. Any beasts that got close to their fleet would be quickly chased away or directly snatched.
It caused their close to a thousand cloud ships to only kill ten thousand beasts in 3 days. There were only a few hundred grade 4 and above. It really made one feel annoyed.
Sōmorime's eyes flashed, his heart was also filled with rage. However, this matter was within his expectations and wasn't worth getting angry over.
"Further ahead is the Guifan Cave?"
When Gu Liekong heard that his expression was slightly stunned, like he didn't expect Zong Shou to be so familiar with the geography of this place. A moment later he reacted, opening his mouth to reply, "It is the Guifan Cave. This area is separated by a hundred thousand feet tall mountain. Above is a storm, if the cloud ships go up, they would be instantly smashed. Only this natural cave can pass through and is the closest place to Hailing Plains. "
Zong Shou's brows furrowed, thinking to himself that this cave already existed in this era. His brows furrowed. Immediately, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Tell all the five tooth ships to shoot out all the fire lightning arrows after passing through the Guifan Cave. You should know what to do … "
When Gu Liekong heard that, he was first shocked, then he was delighted.
The eyelids of Jing Tao who was looking on from the side jumped, sizing up Zong Shou like this was the first time he had met him.
To use fire lightning arrows in the Guifan Cave, just a few thousand of them could cause the cave to collapse, totally destroying this shortcut that had existed for thousands of years!
This Zong Shou was really vicious. However, if one looked closely, there wasn't anything wrong with this method. As such, he couldn't say anything.
Gu Liekong hurriedly left to make arrangements. A moment later, Zong Shou's ship entered a cave.
This cave could be considered wide, even the narrowest part was two thousand feet high and four thousand feet wide. Within, the yin wind danced like a ghost howling, the cold air striking one.
However, due to the yin wind blowing too intensely, there weren't many evil spirits within.
When all of the cloud ships had passed through, the cloud ships had all passed through. All the five tooth giant ships equipped with three arm spiritual crossbows fired at the same time.
In just a moment, there was an explosion in the air, causing heaven and earth to shake. The entire mountain was collapsing with a loud rumble. Large pieces of giant stone totally sealed off this huge Guifan Cave.
All the thousand cloud ships instantly cheered out. At this moment, Zong Shou could even hear the furious roar from a giant mountain.
"As expected, the prince had a plan!"
Tan Tao's eyes flashed, his face filled with joy. He knew that Zong Shou would have a way to shake them off. However, personally seeing it was different.
"However, this method can at most block Yue Guanyun for two days …"
Zong Shou nodded his head. Two days was an optimistic estimate. To be able to block the three city ships for eighteen hours was already something he was satisfied with.
Gu Liekong and Zhu Junhou knew that they couldn't waste any time. Without needing to remind them, they immediately ordered the fleet to set sail.
On this night, they finally arrived at Hailing Plains.
This place was flat and vast. The land was fertile, covered in a type of blue grass. The spiritual energy was also really abundant. Looking out, it was like an ocean.
However, it was still an evil land. Normal plants couldn't survive here. As for the 'Blue Liquid Grass' below, it also contained poison. If normal people ate it, they would die in just four days.
To hunt under the cloud ocean, the normal way would be to immediately spread out the ships. Chase away the beasts and evil spirits, surround them and use crossbows to kill them.
However, at this moment, everyone knew that the three city ships would rush over soon. This was why they all looked towards Zong Shou with questioning gazes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
