Dark clouds filled the sky and rumbled as if they were nurturing something. It was low and oppressive, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Crackling sounds could be heard as bolts of lightning shuttled through the thick dark clouds. When they revealed themselves, they emitted a might that made living beings tremble.
A purple light flew past like a thunderbolt. Under the low and oppressive dark clouds, its speed was extremely fast and incomparably shocking. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a faint purple track.
This was a flying ship called the Purple Thunderbolt. It was a specially made small high-grade combat flying ship. Its appearance was slender, like a bolt of lightning, appearing sharp and domineering.
At the front, there were three cannons that could fire lightning cannons with terrifying might. These lightning cannons were divided into two types. One type was to directly fire a bolt of lightning, and the power was extremely concentrated. The other type was to continuously fire bolts of lightning. The power of a single bolt wasn't very strong, but it was concentrated and connected.
This Purple Thunderbolt flying ship was Zi Yi's flying ship. It had become Chu Mu's spoils of war.
The small flying ships used by the important figures of the Purple Thunder Palace were basically all specially made. They were different from ordinary flying ships and were much more outstanding.
The reason why Chu Mu gave up on the Great Sword and didn't choose the Purple Thunderbolt was because the Purple Thunderbolt was a high-grade flying ship, while the Great Sword was only a mid-grade flying ship. The difference in speed between the two was huge, at least five times. Of course, the higher the grade of the flying ship, the more energy it would consume. However, Chu Mu had a lot of elemental cores in reserve, so it was easy for him to deal with it.
Setting off from the True Sword Sect and heading north, they arrived at the Blue Sea City of the Canglan Empire. If the Great Sword was to fly at full speed without stopping, it would probably take five months or even six months. One had to know that the Great Sword flying at full speed was much faster than ordinary Saint experts.
Chu Mu still wanted to bring the True Sword Sect to the Azure Wave Empire's Myriad Sect Gathering a year later. Although he wasn't from the Deep Blue World, since he had become the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect and obtained the inheritance of the Sword Sect Spirit Seal, he had the obligation to contribute to the development of the True Sword Sect.
The speed of the Purple Thunderbolt was extremely fast. According to Zhang Tie's estimation, it would take less than a month to arrive at Blue Sea City. A round trip would take less than two months. Counting the time from Blue Sea City to Lianyun Island and back, Chu Mu would spend at least half a year on Lianyun Island.
Half a year's time was actually very short, because sometimes a single seclusion would directly pass by.
However, there was no other way. Chu Mu could only try his best to enter the forbidden grounds of the True God Sword Sect and obtain the final inheritance within half a year.
Heavy rain poured down in torrents, making the world hazy.
The Purple Thunderbolt was like a purple thunderbolt, intersecting with the countless lightning bolts shuttling through the dark clouds.
Fortunately, the Purple Thunderbolt was initially built with lightning in mind. Therefore, it was equipped with the ability to resist and absorb lightning. As long as it wasn't too strong and exceeded the Purple Thunderbolt's tolerance limit, it wouldn't suffer any damage. On the contrary, absorbing lightning from the outside world would replenish the Purple Thunderbolt's energy and increase the Purple Thunderbolt's speed to a certain extent.
In other words, the Purple Thunderbolt's speed would be faster than usual in a thunderstorm like this.
While piloting the Purple Thunderbolt, Zhang Tie also comprehended the Eternal Sword Stance. The more he comprehended, the more he felt that the Eternal Sword Stance was exquisite. While comprehending the Eternal Sword Stance, he compared it to the White Clothed Sword Saint's sword art. Under this comparison, he could actually analyze the White Clothed Sword Saint's sword art on a deeper level.
Chu Mu really wanted to obtain the sword stance cultivation method after the Eternal Sword Stance. Unfortunately, he didn't have it. He only had the Eternal Sword Stance.
However, this Eternal Sword Stance was enough for him to comprehend for a long time.
…
The thunderstorm lasted for a few days.
It took a total of 20 days for Chu Mu to arrive at the Blue Sea City.
The Blue Sea City was a city at the border of the Canglan Dynasty. It was very prosperous because some merchants of the Canglan Dynasty would start from the Blue Sea City and travel through the Blue Sea to various islands in the Blue Sea to trade and earn money.
After entering the Blue Sea City, Chu Mu didn't stop. Instead, he immediately went to a specific location called the Blue Sea Ship Office. It was a department that specialized in using special flying ships to travel to and from various islands in the Blue Sea.
It wasn't that Chu Mu didn't think of piloting the Purple Thunderbolt directly into the Blue Sea. However, the problem was that he didn't know where Lianyun Island was. Even if he knew where it was, he might not be able to reach it successfully by piloting the flying ship.
The Blue Sea was extremely large, even larger than the land. It was boundless and boundless. The islands were scattered across the Blue Sea. Without sufficient sailing experience and accurate navigation route maps, it would be difficult to determine the correct direction. A slight carelessness would cause one to lose the target. As the saying went, a slight mistake could lead to a great loss.
Furthermore, there were powerful sea beasts residing in the Blue Sea. All in all, due to various reasons, Chu Mu had to give up the idea of piloting the flying ship by himself.
…
The Colossal Whale was a special flying ship. Its size couldn't be determined by the standard of ordinary flying ships.
The Colossal Whale looked like a ship. It was a huge ship with a total length of more than 500 meters, a width of more than 200 meters, and a height of more than 100 meters. It was dark brown all over, looking simple and steady. It had an aura of time.
The destination of the Colossal Whale was Lianyun Island. As a very famous island, the commercial trade there was very developed. Naturally, there were many people going to Lianyun Island.
Chu Mu paid a thousand upper-grade Essence Elixirs as the fee. This was something that everyone who boarded the Colossal Whale had to do.
There were thousands of people on the Great Whale, and each of them had a thousand upper-grade Primordial Elixirs. Thousands of people meant millions of upper-grade Primordial Elixirs. After deducting the energy used for flying and paying the guards, there was still a large part of the profit.
…
The ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. The deep blue seawater appeared very calm. If one looked carefully, they would be able to feel the unfathomable power contained within it.
It seemed that there were terrifying sea beasts lurking in the deep blue sea. Once they appeared, the entire Colossal Whale would be destroyed, and thousands of people would be buried.
There was a huge deck on the Colossal Whale. It was very spacious and could accommodate many people. The outside of the deck was covered with a transparent seal. Although it couldn't be seen, it could be touched, and a faint aura could be felt.
This seal was the most common one. It was used to resist the storm caused by the high-speed flight of the ship. If the ship was attacked, it would activate a powerful seal to resist the attack.
Under normal circumstances, it would take more than a month to reach Lianyun Island from Blue Sea City. If there were some accidents, such as a storm or a sea beast attack, the time would be extended to two months or even longer. Worse, the ship might be destroyed, and the passengers might never reach their destination.
However, it was very rare for a ship to be destroyed.
It was already the fifth day out at sea. Chu Mu left his room and walked to the deck. He looked at the azure sky and the boundlessly vast ocean. The deep blue ocean slightly rippled. The calm waves seemed to affect one's state of mind, making it infinitely vast. All distracting thoughts gradually disappeared.
Like Chu Mu, there were also many people standing on the edge of the deck looking at the scenery.
Suddenly, some quarreling sounds came, which disturbed Chu Mu. He turned around and saw two groups of people confronting each other in the center of the deck. The atmosphere was tense, and it seemed that they were about to fight.
"Take out one million upper-grade Inner Pills, and we'll let this go. Otherwise, you'll be buried here," the person on the left threatened.
"We accidentally bumped into you. We've already apologized. Don't go too far," the person on the right said coldly.
"Apologize? What a joke. What's the use of apologizing after bumping into someone? How about I kill all of you and then apologize?" the person on the left said with disdain.
"Looks like you don't want to be kind."
"I've already said it. One million upper-grade Inner Pills, and we'll let this go."
"What are you doing? This is the Colossal Whale, not your home." A cold and oppressive voice came, attracting everyone's attention.
There were eight people in total, and all of them were wearing battle armor. The person in the lead was neither tall nor muscular, but his aura was extremely ferocious. His eyes flickered with an incomparably cold light, like the edge of a blade, causing people's hearts to tremble.
These eight people were part of the guards of the Colossal Whale. They were responsible for the safety and order of the ship. As soon as the eight Saint-level experts appeared, the aura they exuded immediately suppressed the arrogance of the two sides. They did not dare to say anything more.
"Whatever grudges you have, you can settle them after leaving the Colossal Whale. If you fight on the Colossal Whale again, I can guarantee that you'll end up very badly," the guard said coldly. The guard leader spoke in a cold voice. His words were filled with threat. His ferocious eyes, together with his frighteningly powerful aura, caused both parties to not dare to say anything. They could only viciously glare at each other before turning around and leaving.
One could imagine that after they left the Colossal Whale, a fight would break out between the two sides. It would be a life-and-death battle.
However, this had nothing to do with Chu Mu. He wouldn't participate in these conflicts either. He only wanted to peacefully get through this month and arrive at Lianyun Island peacefully. After completing what he wanted to do, he would return.
A conflict that had almost broken out ended just like that. Some people who wanted to see the world in chaos were disappointed, but for most people, it did not affect them much. They continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Chu Mu would occasionally walk up to the deck to look at the scenery. He would appreciate the scenery of the sky and sea, stretch his chest, and relax his mind. Most of the time, he would stay in his room and meditate. On this Huge Whale Ship, it wasn't good to cause too much of a commotion and attract the energy of heaven and earth. Thus, Chu Mu focused on comprehending Eternal Sword Technique and continuously improved his sword technique.
