After several years of hard work, Lin Xiu also missed many things in the city, so under the persuasion of these three people, he also lived on this big ship and lived like an immortal.
Through the conversation with the three people, Lin Xiu also learned about the life of these people in the past three years. What's more, he admired Gu Chenghai's talent in business. He didn't expect that after he dealt with Captain Jack, Gu Chenghai would immediately realize the business opportunity. Although he didn't go overboard like Captain Jack by collecting protection fees from ships that came and went for trade, his approach was more profitable.
Gu Chenghai relied on Zagut as his helper, so whether it was the Sea Clan or the human ships, they did not dare to put up the slightest resistance. At first, they obediently offered a large amount of money, and then it showed Gu Chenghai\'s cleverness.
Because those ships that offered money would often get Gu Chenghai\'s guidance and go to a specific sea area. At first, everyone was only skeptical, but when there was continuous news that there were many extremely precious treasures in that sea area, a group of people suddenly worshiped Gu Chenghai as a god.
All of this was naturally due to Zagut's efforts. He had reached the Venerable Realm with his powerful Divine Sense, so he was able to sweep through all the valuable things. Moreover, the three of them were also extremely powerful, so they naturally wouldn't personally collect some ordinary treasures. That way, the passing ships would benefit from it.
And the reward that Gu Chenghai asked for was also extremely simple. The passing ships had to hand over 30% of the resources they obtained to him.
If it was in the past, the profit that a large trading ship could obtain was only about 30% of the value of the goods, and they definitely wouldn't agree to it so easily. However, the profits that they could obtain from the location that Gu Chenghai pointed out had far exceeded their imagination, so all of them agreed to it happily.
After knowing the truth of all this, Lin Xiu did indeed change a lot of his opinion of Gu Chenghai.
If this person could leave the Sea Clan and become an expert under Liu Cheng's command, he would be able to play a far greater role. Although Gu Chenghai seemed to love money as much as his life, what he really cared about was freedom. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unwilling to touch power even though he held a high position in the Sea Clan for so many years.
Throughout this period of time, even Yun Tian had started to enjoy himself to the point of forgetting about his duties. The days he spent with Gu Chenghai were truly too happy, and it made him completely give up on his authority in the city.
As for Zagut, he no longer bore a grudge against this person who had once tried to rob him of his wealth. Instead, he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Over the years, Xiao Chen had followed Zagut and earned many times more treasures than before. He had long since thrown all the unhappiness to the back of his mind.
Just like that, after a period of time, Lin Xiu received a message from Liu Cheng. The other party's words were extremely urgent and asked Lin Xiu to return to the Venerable City as soon as possible. He said that there was an important matter that needed to be discussed.
Liu Cheng did not explain the specifics in the message. Obviously, this matter was not a trivial matter, so Lin Xiu quickly explained the situation to the three of them, then left alone.
Since he had just broken through to the Venerable Realm, he had already grasped a certain amount of space law. Lin Xiu also used the ability to shrink the ground into an inch and returned to the Venerable City not long after.
Compared to when he left all those years ago, Exalt City was flourishing right now. Moreover, the citizens were smiling from the bottom of their hearts as well. It wasn't like when Yao Kun was still in power, where every single one of them was filled with hatred and bitterness.
Of course, Lin Xiu knew that all of this should be due to Liu Cheng's efforts. The reason why Liu Cheng was willing to control this area was not only to obtain a certain amount of cultivation resources for him to continue to break through, but also to help these people to live a more prosperous life.
But with Liu Cheng's character, it was probably impossible for him to do this. This was naturally due to the efforts of his wife, Cai Die.
Soon, Lin Xiu arrived at the Venerable Residence according to the location that he had locked onto with his divine sense. Liu Cheng, who was sitting on the main seat, was inexplicably excited when he saw Lin Xiu. He hurriedly stood up from his seat and appeared in front of Lin Xiu in a flash and patted Lin Xiu's shoulder.
"It's been so many years, where have you been? Lin Ping and I were very worried about you, but thinking about how powerful you are, no one can pose a threat to you in this area, the two of us didn't disturb you. " Liu Cheng did not care about the astonished gazes of the Dao Comprehending State experts around him. He revealed his true feelings.
After fighting side by side that time, Liu Cheng had already regarded Lin Xiu as his true brother. If it wasn't for Lin Xiu, he would have turned into a pile of soil by now. How could he have the glory he had today?
Lin Xiu first nodded to the surrounding experts of the Dao Enlightenment Realm, then glanced at Liu Cheng and asked in confusion, "Why did you call me over in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Lin Xiu was so serious, Liu Cheng also restrained his expression and became unusually serious. He then stared into Lin Xiu's eyes and said word by word, "Brother, you may not know this, but the ruler of our Ancient Desolate World, the Great Emperor of the Ancient Desolate Realm has issued a conscription order, asking all the almighties who have reached the Venerable Realm to immediately head to the center of the Ancient Desolate World for a selection. I'm not too sure about the specifics."
Lin Xiu also fell into deep thought. Hell was originally the border of the Ancient Desolate World. Normally, no other experts would come here. To them, this was a desolate place. It was especially barren. Lin Xiu did not know what the Emperor of the Ancient Desolate Realm was planning to do when he issued the Enlistment Order.
Although Lin Xiu did not have much contact with the other experts of the Venerable Realm, he had a feeling that this matter must be related to him.
Almost subconsciously, Lin Xiu wanted to refuse this conscription, but he also understood that the Great Emperor of the Ancient Desolate Realm was an existence that had truly reached the third level of the Venerable Realm. Even in the entire universe, he was a rare expert. Perhaps the strength of the other party's divine sense had already enveloped all the almighties of the Venerable Realm, and Lin Xiu's breakthrough would definitely not be hidden from him.
With a silent sigh, Lin Xiu released his aura, and immediately surprised the group of people in the main hall. They did not expect that in just a few years, Lin Xiu had truly crossed the threshold and become an existence of the Venerable Realm.
If it was on a normal day, Lin Xiu's breakthrough would of course be great news. This meant that their territory could once again expand. Now, no one knew what the Great Emperor of the Ancient Desolate Realm was planning, and it was uncertain whether this time would be a blessing or a curse.
If it was a blessing, it would not be a curse, and if it was a curse, it could not be avoided.
After a short period of excitement, Liu Cheng immediately calmed down and looked at Lin Xiu with a slightly apologetic gaze.
If he had a choice, of course, he did not want these things to implicate Lin Xiu, but this time, the conscription order was issued to all the experts of the Ancient Desolate World. With Liu Cheng's strength, he did not have the guts to refuse.
Looking at his sworn brother's worried expression, Lin Xiu revealed a smile at this time and said softly, "What do we have to be afraid of? Our territory is originally at the edge of the world. If something bad is really going to happen, the ones who should be worried are the extremely powerful experts."
Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Liu Cheng also rubbed his head and chuckled. Yes, this matter might not really be a disaster. The Great Emperor of the Ancient Desolate World gathered the strength of so many experts together for the selection, so it meant that something big was going to happen.
During this period of time, because Lin Ping felt that his cultivation had reached a critical point, he originally wanted to continue to cultivate in seclusion. But when the Great Emperor of the Ancient Desolate World issued the conscription order, he temporarily gave up on this plan.
But now, he was not in the Venerable City, but returned to Shou Zhou City.
After all, Lin Ping's foundation was in Shou Zhou City, and the experts that followed him were still advancing at this moment. Moreover, if this time there was really a sign that something bad was going to happen, Lin Ping's strength could also ensure the stability of this region.
To put it simply, if all the forces lost their Venerable Realm experts, then Dao-comprehending Realm experts would become the strongest force.
And over the years, Lin Ping's control over his strength had become more and more smooth, and he could often burst out with strength that surpassed his own realm. Even if compared to the Venerable Realm experts, there was still a slight gap, but he could more or less exchange a few blows with them.
For the sake of their foundation, Lin Ping could only suppress his own breakthrough.
The Enlightened Plane experts present were not that passionate about cultivation. The reason why they had reached their current level of cultivation was because of an extremely simple dream.
They were all warriors that belonged to the intelligent type, and what they liked to do the most in life was to use their own wisdom to discover more about the truth of this world.
But as long as they were strong, their divine senses would be enough to support them to make all kinds of deductions and gradually unveil the mysterious veil of the truth.
The reason why these people gathered together was that Liu Cheng wanted them to collectively make a deduction and see what the Great Emperor of the Ancient Desolate World's intention was.
But after a year of research for several months, they still could not come up with a definite plan. Seeing that the day of the conscription order was approaching step by step, everyone present could not help but feel a little flustered.
Liu Cheng had just met Lin Xiu, and he also did not want this group of people to disturb his mood, so he waved his hand at them, indicating that they could go back.
No matter what, he must not go back until he is drunk with Lin Xiu tonight.
After so many years, with the accumulation of various resources, his strength had also made great progress, and he was now almost at the middle of the first level of the Venerable Realm.
