Now that there was an Astral Reaching Realm warrior on the ship, no one dared to say a word, as they were afraid that they might annoy him. Some of the more timid ones even hid in the cabin.
Seeing this, the Black Crow Daoist smiled and said, "You guys talk, I won't eat you."
"The Black Crow Man is one of my most respected seniors, no need to be afraid." Xu Changjian heard him and laughed as well.
Hearing Xu Changjian's words, everyone relaxed a little bit, but they still did not dare to talk too loudly, they just talked in a low voice.
"This is the first time I have seen an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, I wonder where this Black Crow Man is from."
"Even Captain Xu Changjian is so respectful to him, he must be extremely powerful."
"The Qi coming from the Black Crow Man is way too powerful, as unpredictable as this Wild Goose Falling River. Compared to him, the powerful warriors in my family are just ordinary people!"
"Exactly, the higher the level of a warrior, the bigger the gap between each level. I heard that an Astral Reaching Realm warrior could kill a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior with a flick of his finger."
Ye Chen took a quick glance at the Black Crow Daoist, then turned his eyes back. He thought to himself, 'He is indeed very powerful. His Zhen Yuan vibration is as vast as a river, immeasurably deep. What's different from Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists is that the Zhen Yuan vibration of Astral Reaching Realm martial artists spreads out in the form of a whirlpool, which gives people a feeling that they can crush a diamond. However, comparing the two, the Black Crow Daoist is at least thirty percent more powerful than the Thunder Freer.
'Living in the Windy Nation, how could I meet so many powerful warriors? First it was Thunder Freer, now it's the Black Crow Man, all of them are powerful warriors that most of the warriors can only look up to.'
Standing on the bow of the ship, the Black Crow Man did not move at all, he suddenly turned around and said to Xu Changjian, "Do you have any wine? Give me a pot. "
"Sir, please wait here."
Xu Changjian entered the cabin and looked for the wine for the Black Crow Man.
Soon, Xu Changjian walked out, he smiled and threw the wine bottle to the Black Crow Man, "Sir, this is the famous Pear Blossom Wine of our South Chamber of Commerce."
Uncorking the bottle, the Black Crow Man poured the wine into his mouth without caring about anything else, then murmured, "Great wine, fragrant and mellow, I might need to buy hundreds of bottles from your South Chamber of Commerce in the future."
"Hehe, sir, if you want to buy it yourself, our South Chamber of Commerce will definitely give you a discount."

The Ocean Beast headed north for another two to three thousand miles.
Gradually, the Wild Goose Falling River became narrower. Before, it was four to five hundred miles wide, even seven to eight hundred miles wide, but now it was only one to two hundred miles wide. Standing on the deck of the Ocean Beast, one could already see numerous towering mountains and numerous port cities along the banks of the Wild Goose Falling River.
The Crow Taoist threw the empty bottle in his hand into the river, looked to the right, and laughed, "I haven't seen you for ten years. Today, I can finally have a good fight."
As if it was responding to the voice of the Crow Taoist, on the right side of the shore about a hundred miles away, a mountain peak that was thousands of feet high suddenly released a towering fiery light. The fiery light was as red as the sun, and even the color of the nearby river had changed; it was a sea of sparkling orange.
"Haha, I'm going."
The Black Crow Daoist greeted Xu Changjian, and a pair of huge black wings stretched out from his back. With a flap of the wings, his body soared into the sky and shot towards the direction of the fiery light. On the way, his body was surrounded by a black airflow that looked like a dark cloud. It was powerful and oppressive.
"Senior, take care." Xu Changjian's voice was heard.
Ye Chen squinted his eyes, he saw a vague human figure standing in the middle of the fiery light. Seriously speaking, this human figure was not something that he could see. It was just that the aura of the opponent was way too powerful, and was captured by Ye Chen's soul power, which automatically formed a shadow. It was just like a blind man who had familiarized himself with a certain environment over a long period of time.
"Another Astral Reaching Realm warrior."
Ye Chen slowly let out a breath of hot air.
"Captain Xu, are the wings of the Black Crow Daoist the Zhen yuan that you mentioned?" After the Black Crow Daoist had left, the pressure on the crowd had disappeared, so someone could not help but ask.
Xu Changjian laughed, "The Zhen yuan transformation is indeed one of the abilities of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors, but unless they have no other choice, very few people would use it. If you think about it carefully, you will understand. With the power of a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, all of them can transform their Zhen Qi. However, compared to a warrior who can transform his Zhen Qi using a martial skill, which one is more powerful?"
"Of course, a warrior who can transform his Zhen Qi using a martial skill is more powerful. Directly transforming his Zhen Qi into a physical form is no different from a normal attack, it is just a bit more flashy."
"Indeed, it is the same for Astral Reaching Realm warriors. The wings of the Black Crow Daoist are actually a martial art, called the Great Black Crow Art. It is much more powerful than the normal Zhen yuan transformation. Not only can it increase the speed, it can also increase the speed of the Zhen yuan circulation. It is one of the most powerful martial arts of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School."
"The Sky Flying Devil Martial School? Is it the rank 6 martial school of the Black Dragon Empire?"
"The Black Crow Daoist is a powerful warrior from the Sky Flying Devil Martial School. I see."
None of them were stupid. With just a little reminder, they immediately knew about the background of the Black Crow Daoist Priest. All of them were dumbfounded. In their eyes, a Grade Six martial institution was definitely a colossus. If a Grade Nine to Grade Seven martial institution was considered a big martial institution, then a Grade Six martial institution could be considered as a super martial institution. They could easily destroy a small country or a big martial institution.
Boom!
In everyone's sight, that mountain that had exploded with a fiery light suddenly shattered into pieces and collapsed. The shockwave turned into a solid substance, spreading out in all directions.
"The Black Crow Daoist is fighting against someone."
"Shattering a mountain with a single move, that's so powerful!"
Ye Chen was trying to simulate the fight with his soul power, but the fight between the Black Crow Daoist and that person was way too fast. Within a single moment, hundreds of moves had already been launched, and Ye Chen didn't have enough time to react. If he tried to simulate the fight by force, he would only end up with nothing but chaos.
The Ocean Beast didn't slow down at all. Within half an hour, it had already moved over five hundred miles, leaving that shattered mountain far behind, until the Ocean Beast couldn't see anything anymore.
Ten days later.
The Wild Goose Falling River narrowed again, from over a hundred miles to fifty miles.
Early morning.
Ye Chen pushed open the cabin door, walked out, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
"After twenty days of hard training, my Great Mystery Art has broken into the eighth level. The quality of my Zhen Qi has already surpassed the Zhen Qi cultivated with low-rank Earth Realm martial arts, but the quantity is still a bit lower." Ye Chen hadn't practiced any low-rank Earth Realm martial arts, but he had seen some early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists who had practiced low-rank Earth Realm martial arts. Comparing them with the eighth level of the Great Mystery Art, Ye Chen could easily figure out how powerful the eighth level of the Great Mystery Art was.
Gazing into the distance, Ji Hao saw two straight canyons faintly visible.
In the afternoon.
People went to the deck to sunbathe.
Xu Changjian pointed at the front and said, "About three to four hundred miles away, we'll see the most famous Natural Moat Gorge on the Wild Goose Falling River."
"Natural Moat Gorge! The one that was split into two by someone? "The bearded middle-aged man couldn't help but change his expression.
'Split into two by someone?'
Ye Chen was shocked. From three to four hundred miles away, he could already tell that the Natural Moat Gorge was enormous and tall, at least ten times larger than the Windy Mountain where the Sky Cloud Martial School was located. Who was able to split it into two? That kind of power was way too terrifying.
Xu Changjian said, "Five hundred years ago, the Natural Moat Gorge wasn't a gorge, nor was it called the Natural Moat Gorge. Instead, it was called the Sky Pillar Mountain, standing on the bank of the Wild Goose Falling River. It was eighteen thousand meters high, and occupied thousands of miles in radius. One day, two Life and Death Realm warriors were battling there. One of them, who was called the Battle King, threw out a sword attack and directly cut the Sky Pillar Mountain in half. Half of the mountain was forcibly moved to the center of the Wild Goose Falling River, forming a huge valley that was more than ten kilometers wide. It also created a new branch, which is the current Natural Moat Valley Waterway, which is thousands of miles long.
"A fight between two Life and Death Realm martial artists, and the Battle King split the Sky Pillar Mountain into two with a single sword move."
Ye Chen gasped in shock.
As the Ocean Beast approached, people finally saw the Natural Moat Gorge.
This gorge was seventeen thousand to eighteen thousand meters high, and was divided into two parts. The periphery of both parts of the gorge was steep, like the silhouettes of mountains, while the inside part of the gorge was perfectly straight. As Xu Changjian said, the two parts of the gorge were cut into two by someone with a sword, thus forming a perfectly straight inner part of the gorge. The height of the two parts of the gorge was equal, and the inner part of the gorge was perfectly straight.
"We can't go into the Natural Moat Gorge, let's go through the main road on the side." Every time they passed by this place, Xu Changjian would remind the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and this time was no exception.
"Don't worry, Deacon, we don't want to die yet."
The member of the Chamber of Commerce, who was controlling the direction of the Ocean Beast, smiled.
This time, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "What's so special about this gorge? Why can't we go through it?"
Xu Changjian rubbed his own chin and responded, "You'll know soon."
The long waterway flashed across, and two waterways appeared in front of the Ocean Beast. One led to the Natural Moat Gorge, while the other led to the main road of the Wild Goose Falling River.
The Ocean Beasts were already very, very close to the Natural Moat Gorge. Compared to the Natural Moat Gorge, the Ocean Beasts were even smaller than ants. The strong contrast between the Ocean Beasts and the Natural Moat Gorge made all the people on the ship fall into a trance and feel a subtle fear.
Buzz!
All of a sudden, without any reason, a terrifyingly sharp sense of power spread over from the Natural Moat Gorge and shrouded the Ocean Beast.
Everyone's faces turned pale, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Puff!
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen was even weaker than those rich people, who only knew a little bit about martial arts. He opened his mouth and let out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on the deck.
Xu Changjian glanced at Ye Chen in surprise. Ye Chen was an early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, but why couldn't he withstand the sense of power released from the Natural Moat Gorge? This had never happened before! Not to mention that this place was still a short distance away from the Natural Moat Gorge, so the sense of power released from the Natural Moat Gorge wasn't that great.
After being surprised for a while, Ji Hao stopped worrying about it and said, "The reason why we can't go through the Natural Moat Gorge is that back then, when the Battle King split the Sky Pillar Mountain open, the remaining sword intent still lingered in the Natural Moat Gorge for five hundred years. If we go into the Natural Moat Gorge rashly, our souls would definitely be crushed by that terrifying sword intent, and we would be dead for sure. It's said that some Astral Reaching Realm martial artists have gone into the Natural Moat Gorge, but since then, no one has ever seen them, and they are most likely dead."
