After the birthday banquet, Yan Li settled down in the Divine Palace's library. He even celebrated with Tang Buluo and the others at the Divine Palace during the New Year. It could be said that he had a leisurely time, marking the end of his trip to the Human Realm.
After the New Year, Shen Liuyun left Buluo City first. He set off on January 7th with Fu 'er. They first took a boat to the Wei Imperial Territory, and then from there boarded a ship to the Immortal Realm. This was the ship they were on now. They had been on the sea for six days.
During these six days, he would sit on the side of the ship whenever he could, trying to overcome his fear of the water.
Although the results were minimal, it wasn't impossible. If it was in the past, it would have been difficult for him to sit still, let alone fish and defeat enemies.
Hearing Lin Juxing's question, he had no desire to answer. He just said lazily, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Lin Juxing was furious, but his words were interrupted by a voice.
"That's it!"
Wang Xiaotian said coldly with a gloomy face, "Did you ask for my opinion when you fought on my ship?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, he shouted at the crowd, "What are you looking at? If you don't want to die, go back to your cabins. When you get swept into the sea, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Everyone was stunned. Someone suddenly exclaimed, "We're going to climb the Nine Heaven Hanging River. Quickly hide!"
As soon as this was said, the passengers on the deck immediately dispersed and went back to their cabins.
Only Yan Li and the others were left on the deck. It seemed that they had no intention of hiding.
Wang Xiaotian looked around at them and raised his hand indifferently. "Everyone, listen to my command. Drop the anchor and take in the sails!"
The assistant shouted, "The captain has ordered, drop the anchor and take in the sails!"
The sailors were already prepared. Hearing the order, they immediately moved. They had traveled back and forth between the Human and Immortal Realms countless times. Even with their eyes closed, they could complete the task.
Lu Zhantang seemed to see the confusion on Yan Li's face. "Brother Yan, you must be curious why we dropped the anchor."
Not only did the ship drop its anchor, but it also dropped one on the left and one on the right, as if to balance the ship.
"The flow of the Nine Heavens Hanging River is too fast. We need an anchor to slow it down. Otherwise, the boat will not be able to withstand it and fall apart," Lu Zhantang said with a smile.
"I see," Yan Li said.
Lu Zhantang took the opportunity to sit down and said with a smile, "I heard that Brother Yan wants to join the Court Of Sword?"
"Yes," Yan Li said.
"There are seven branches of the Court Of Sword. Which branch has Brother Yan chosen?" Lu Zhantang asked.
Yan Li said, "I'm still considering it."
"Logically speaking," Lu Zhantang lowered his voice slightly and said, "Heavenly Sword Peak is the most respected in the world. With Brother Yan's talent, it is reasonable for you to join it, but …"
"But what?" Yan Li said.
Lu Zhantang said, "But Mountain Sea Supreme has already announced that he will take his last disciple. No matter how talented Brother Yan is, it is impossible for him to take you in. Besides, Heavenly Sword Peak already has Sword God Feng Jiu and Little Sword Saint Yu Qiuyu. It will be hard for Brother Yan to stand out even if you join them."
"What do you think, Brother Lu?" Yan Li said.
The wind was getting stronger.
As the saying goes, a horse will die if it sees a mountain. They just saw the Nine Heavens Hanging River, but it took them so long to reach it.
The sails were all retracted, and the anchor was dropped.
The ship shook violently and suddenly tilted up, and its speed increased several times.
Lu Zhantang didn't move at all. Not only him, but the rest of the people who dared to stay on the deck were also like him, easily stabilizing their bodies.
"In my humble opinion," Lu Zhantang said with a smile, "the other peaks are the same, except for Cangjian Peak."
"Oh?" Yan Li looked at Lu Zhantang seriously.
"Brother Yan, if you join Cangjian Peak, you may have a bright future." Lu Zhantang said with a smile, "Cangjian Peak is the leader of the seven branches of the Court Of Sword. However, Cangjian Peak has its own rules for accepting disciples. Those who are not destined to join can't compare to the other six branches. Therefore, the situation has been getting worse, and we haven't accepted any disciples for several years."
"Cangjian Peak is getting worse, but Brother Lu still wants me to join Cangjian Peak. What do you mean?" Yan Li said.
"Brother Yan, please listen to me."
Lu Zhantang said patiently, "The current Peak Lord of Cangjian Peak, Su Xiaojian, is a rare genius who has cultivated the unique skills of Cangjian Peak to the acme of perfection. Some say that his cultivation is comparable to the Mountain Sea Supreme, but he still hasn't accepted a disciple. This is one of the reasons. Secondly, Cangjian Peak has no successor. On the Heaven's Chosen List, only Cao Zigu is ranked fourth with his enlightenment peak cultivation. The rest of the people at the bottom of the list are not allowed to enter. Brother Yan, think about what this means. "
"What does it mean?" Yan Li said.
"It means that there is no competition. With your talent, it is entirely possible for you to be accepted as a disciple by Peak Lord Xiaojian," Lu Zhantang said meaningfully, "In the future, when you compete for Cangjian Peak Peak Lord, you will also have a bright future."
"It seems that the Immortal World respects the list." Yan Li said with a faint smile, "Brother Lu, I'm afraid that you are not arresting criminals on behalf of the Dao Court, but Cangjian Peak."
"This …" Lu Zhantang smiled bitterly, "This is definitely not the case."
"This monk can prove Benefactor Lu's words," Wine and Meat Monk suddenly came over.
Yan Li furrowed his brows and said with a smile, "I will think about it."
"It's fine, Brother Yan, we are just giving you a suggestion," Lu Zhantang said passionately.
"Yan Li, it seems that people are going to look at you in a different light."
At this moment, a "ge ge" sound was heard. Gu Caiwei suddenly appeared on the deck, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few months, you are already a prospective disciple of the Court Of Sword. Every passerby has to flatter you. It feels good, doesn't it?"
When Lu Zhantang and Wine and Meat Monk heard her voice, they immediately became fearful. They nodded at her together, "Lady Caiwei." After greeting her, they left.
"I'm afraid she is someone's lobbyist," Yan Li said.
Gu Caiwei walked to the side of the ship and watched the waves being pushed to both sides, "Look at this ship. It will definitely take up a part of the space. Those who are pushed can only find another place to stay. You are like this ship. The Court Of Sword is like the Nine Heavens Suspending River. Those who are pushed to the side may not be willing to retreat, but will fight back even more fiercely. Only when they are strong enough can they ensure the integrity of the ship. "
"They suddenly become unlike you," Yan Li said.
Gu Caiwei turned her head and looked at Yan Li playfully, "In your impression, what kind of person is he?"
"Someone who specially makes trouble for me," Yan Li said.
"You are so annoying. He is also good for you." Gu Caiwei smiled sweetly.
"You helped me provoke a Confucian orthodoxy disciple. What benefit is there to speak of?" Yan Li said.
Listening to the smooth conversation between the two, it was obvious that their relationship was closer than he had imagined.
Lin Juxing gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
He forced himself to maintain a smile and walked over, "So the two of you know each other. If I had known that you were Lady Caiwei's acquaintance, I definitely wouldn't have acted so impulsively. Brother Yan, I am really sorry for offending you just now. "
