"Strange, there are no deaths or injuries this time. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation in Thunder King Valley," an older Martial King on the deck said.
Another old man continued, "That's right. I also feel that it is a little strange. It seems like the Thunder Emperor Valley is much calmer than usual today. I clearly feel that there is someone resisting this will, but the Thunder Emperor did not send down any punishment."
Xiao Chen thought, Could it be because of me or Ao Jiao?
Some of the young cultivators at the side asked in confusion, "Senior, what is the situation? Can you explain it in detail?"
The old man who spoke first said, "This Thunder King Valley is also known as the Valley of Life and Death. Every day, when the merchant ships pass by this valley, there will be cultivators who die or get injured. There are very few exceptions."
"Why?"
The old man smiled faintly, "Because there will always be some people who will resist this will of thunder unconsciously. In the past, there were strong Martial Monarchs who tried to steal this will of thunder. However, no matter how strong their cultivation was, there was only one result: death!"
"As long as there is any delusion or resistance, the will of thunder will injure you. If you resist seriously, you will die. No matter how high your cultivation is, you will not be able to change this result. Perhaps only a Sage can try."
Hearing this, the cultivators on the deck who had resisted this will either accidentally or intentionally felt fear in their hearts.
"Is the Thunder King really that strong? He has been dead for a thousand years. Why is this will of thunder not extinguished? Furthermore, it is still so mighty, "the young cultivators asked, their interest piqued by the old man's words.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "There are seven types of energy in the world. The lightning attribute is the most berserk and has the most tyrannical attack. Cultivating the lightning attribute is also the most difficult. This is because lightning represents the Heavenly Dao in the natural world, the power of heavenly punishment."
"Similarly, the cultivation of the state of thunder and the will of thunder is the most difficult for all cultivators. The Thunder King was able to comprehend the will of thunder into the immortal will of thunder, which is comparable to the Heavenly Dao."
"With such a tyrannical attack power, even the older generation Emperors, who are of a higher cultivation level than the Thunder Emperor, would not dare to face him head-on. Haha, fighting with him is equivalent to going through a lightning tribulation. Who would be so bored as to let themselves go through a lightning tribulation?"
The old man spoke with fervor and assurance. It was obvious that he had traveled extensively and was knowledgeable. Xiao Chen recounted everything that the Thunder King had done in the various parts of the continent.
This made all the cultivators on the deck yearn in their hearts. It was like they were in that glorious era, turning into the Thunder King, killing gods and demons, trampling on all geniuses and reaching the peak of the world.
"What's up with the statue in the gorge? Such a huge statue, it seems to cover the entire gorge. Without at least a thousand people, it would be impossible to complete such a large work. However, how did a few thousand people coordinate with each other to carve such a perfect statue?"
Seeing that someone finally brought the topic to the statue, the old man continued smiling, "If I told you that this statue was formed naturally, would you believe me?"
"How can that be?" The surrounding young cultivators all shook their heads.
When the old man heard this, he laughed loudly, "You youngsters have pretty good talent. You are already peak Superior Grade Martial Saints at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five. However, you are still too inexperienced to think about going to the treasure trove."
Another old man at the side was a Superior Grade Martial King. He said indifferently, "In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to the Ancient Desolate Land and see the statue of the first Tianwu Emperor, you will know that these words are true."
"Indeed, in the end, the youngsters are still too inexperienced. On this trip to the treasure trove, you will definitely meet with experts from other nations. At that time, you might not even be able to keep your lives," another old Martial King said.
"Furthermore, don't think that just because you are dressed up, you are a White Robed Bladesman. How childish," someone brought up the same topic again.
When the bladesmen in white robes with blue strips of cloth on their heads heard this, they all felt somewhat embarrassed. They did not know how to answer.
The topic slowly returned to reality, to the destination of the group. The older generation cultivators all spoke up to discourage these youngsters.
Actually, these old men were just reminding the crowd that if they met with experts from other nations, they would not even know how they died if they could not calm down.
These old men had good intentions. As for how many of these youngsters would calm down, they did not need to worry.
The topics of these old men broadened Xiao Chen's horizons. This was especially so for the Thunder King's deeds. This allowed him to gain a better understanding of this legendary man.
However, half of Xiao Chen's attention was on the deck, on the peak Superior Grade Martial King who had hidden his aura.
Many cultivators sat on the deck at the bow, quietly comprehending the will of thunder from earlier.
These were all lightning-attributed cultivators. The immortal will of thunder that the Thunder King left behind had a strong effect on lightning-attributed cultivators.
More or less, it would be of some help. Perhaps, it would allow one's state to advance further, or it would allow one to comprehend the state of thunder.
Among the cultivators sitting on the deck, there was an old man in gray robes. He looked very ordinary; he was a typical, ordinary old man.
This old man's aura was that of a Superior Grade Martial King. There were many such old men on the bow. It was not strange for someone to be a Superior Grade Martial King at such a young age.
However, Xiao Chen could clearly sense that this person was a peak Superior Grade Martial King. He was only one step shy of becoming a half-step Martial Monarch. He was extremely strong.
This person was not a man of few words on the bow, nor did he brag about his past experiences. When he came across a topic that he was interested in, he would make some insipid comments, not attracting the attention of others.
If it were not for Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense being very sharp, he would not have discovered that this person was a peak Martial King expert.
This person is extremely dangerous, Xiao Chen kept an eye on him. The dog that bites is never the one that barks the loudest.
At this moment, the merchant ship had already left the Tianwu Continent. The Thunder King Valley slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. The continent also moved further away from the crowd.
At the entrance of the valley, there were still many merchant ships slowly sailing out to sea.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and ignored the people on the ship, who were still discussing. He walked straight to the bow and looked out at the sea.
All he could see was boundless seawater. The seawater was calm without any ripples; it was a deep blue. Occasionally, a flock of seabirds flew by. At this moment, the sea was very gentle.
Before the calm, unruffled sea, one's field of vision was very wide. It broadened one's mind.
The huge merchant ship broke through the waves and moved quickly on the sea. Now that they were on the sea, the merchant ship no longer had to worry about anything; it could move at full speed.
Xiao Chen muttered, "Is this the Boundless Sea? It is indeed endless. I'm afraid that even if I spent my entire life, I would not be able to reach the end of this sea. "
"Ha ha, this is not the Boundless Sea. This is just the coastal waters of the Tianwu Continent. After we pass the Green Wind Island, we will truly reach the edge of the Boundless Sea. However, that is only the shallow sea. The true deep sea is even further."
Suddenly, a drawn-out voice resounded in Xiao Chen's ears. He turned his head and saw the peak Martial King that he had been paying attention to. He did not know when he had arrived.
Xiao Chen was mildly startled, but his expression did not change. He smiled faintly and said, "Old senior, it looks like you are very knowledgeable. You seem to understand the Boundless Sea very well. Can you tell this junior about it?"
The old man smiled gently and said, "I do not dare to address myself as senior. In the world of cultivators, the strong are respected, not by age. This old man is called Wu Shangxuan. If Little Brother does not mind, you can call me Old Wu."
"Old Wu, please explain it to this junior." Xiao Chen said softly. He also wanted to know what the situation of the Boundless Sea was like. So he did not mind chatting a little more.
Wu Shangxuan looked at the boundless sea and said sullenly, "The Boundless Sea has a total of four directions: the Eastern Sea, the Western Sea, the Southern Sea, and the Northern Sea. The merchant ship we are on is heading to the Western Sea.
"The true Boundless Sea is divided into the deep sea and the shallow sea. Currently, humans only have control over the shallow sea. As for the deep sea, it is too mysterious. This old man does not know much about it.
"There are countless islands in each direction of the shallow seas, and there are also countless powerful sects. Apart from the East Sea, the other three directions of the shallow seas all have a dominant sect, which is relatively stable."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked, "How strong are the sects in the Boundless Sea compared to the sects in my Great Qin Nation?"
"If compared to the Western Shallow Sea, they can barely be considered a second-rate power. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion could be considered a first-rate power in the past. However, now, it can only be considered a second-rate power. If we include the Heavenly Craft Manor, it might be better."
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised. Could it be that the Heavenly Craft Manor is stronger than the Heavenly Saber Pavilion? "What do you mean?"
"Ha ha! If you go out more, you will discover that many of the Spirit Weapons of the cultivators in the continent are made by the Heavenly Craft Manor. Even in the Great Jin Nation, this is very obvious.
"In terms of fame, the three great sects are not as famous as the Heavenly Craft Manor. Think about it carefully. If such a profitable sect does not have a certain level of strength, why did the Royal Court and the other sects not dare to swallow it up?"
Xiao Chen had not thought of this unless he had a strong backer. If not, there was only one reason: the Heavenly Craft Manor had its own hidden power.
When Wu Shangxuan spoke up to this point, he suddenly paused. He said, "White Robed Bladesman, for you to be so interested in the Boundless Sea's powers, aside from going to the Green Wind Island, are you planning to go to the Boundless Sea as well?"
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He smiled and said, "Old Wu must be joking. How am I the White Robed Bladesman? I only wear white robes."
"Stop denying it. You are observing me, but I am observing you as well," Wu Shangxuan said calmly as he looked into the distance.
Xiao Chen's heart sank. It looked like this person might have discovered his identity. Otherwise, he would not have come over to talk to him for no reason.
Wu Shangxuan continued, "There is no need to be nervous. This old man is actually looking for you to discuss the matter of the Savanna King's treasure. I have been to that island twice before. This is my third time."
