(New Volume, Little Dumpling Will Break Through to the True Martial Realm and Roam the World)
The sun hung high in the sky, shining its light on the surface of the river. The waves sparkled, as if there were thousands of glowing seaweed rippling in the water.
The river was vast, and one couldn't see the end of it. Even with Chen Zong's outstanding eyesight, he could only see a vast expanse of whiteness in the distance.
In the sky, a bird flew past, and a feather fell from its wings. It circled in the wind and landed in a beautiful trajectory. The moment it came into contact with the water, it slowly sank into the water, as if there was an invisible hand in the water that pulled the feather into the river.
"As expected of the Sinking Feather River." Seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it from others was different. Chen Zong was shocked.
Everyone knew that feathers were very, very light. They would be lifted up by the wind and float on the surface of the water. However, the Sinking Feather River was different. Once a feather fell, it would sink to the bottom of the river as if the feather weighed millions of pounds.
If a feather was like this, then a heavier person would sink to the bottom of the river and drown. Because of this, the Sinking Feather River was once a forbidden area.
After all, unless one could really fly, no one could cross the Sinking Feather River.
The Sinking Feather River separated the two sides, completely separating the three dynasties from the Longtu Empire. It was as if they were two different worlds.
In the martial way, if one didn't experience any great calamity, they would only continue to develop.
After many years, someone finally found a way to cross the Sinking Feather River, and that was the Black Sinking Wood.
The Black Sinking Wood was completely black, and its texture was as fine as steel. It was very heavy, and if it was placed in ordinary water, it would sink immediately. However, what was interesting was that when the Black Sinking Wood was placed in the Sinking Feather River, not only would it not sink, it could even float well on the river's surface.
This discovery made people excited, and they searched for and cut down the Black Sinking Wood in large amounts to forge Black Sinking Wood boats to cross the Sinking Feather River.
However, Black Sunken Wood was rare, and there were many forces that needed it. After dividing it up, each force would not be able to obtain much.
Within the Longtu Dynasty, there was a trading company called the Great Feather Trading Company. It was very powerful and had a very high status within the Longtu Dynasty. It had been collecting Black Sunken Wood for many years and used it to build the bottom of a huge ship, allowing it to float on the Sunken Feather River. It was specially used to cross the Sunken Feather River and connect the Longtu Dynasty and the other three dynasties.
The rest of the Black Sunken Wood was used as the bottom of other ships.
The Dayu Trading Firm's initial goal in forging the Sunken Wooden Ships was to develop trade, transporting goods from the Longtu Dynasty to the three dynasties to sell at a high price. They would then purchase goods at a low price and transport them back to the Longtu Dynasty to sell at a high price, earning the difference in price.
The secondary purpose was to carry passengers.
If someone wanted to travel from the Longtu Dynasty to the three dynasties, or from the three dynasties to the Longtu Dynasty, they only needed to pay the corresponding spiritual shell.
In the past, Chen Zong did not know about the Longtu Dynasty. Firstly, the Dayu Trading Company had already established a foundation in the three dynasties, and they had a fixed trading partner. Secondly, different professions were like different mountains. Chen Zong did not purposely inquire about it, and focused on cultivation. Naturally, he did not know about the existence of the Longtu Dynasty.
There was an ancient saying, 'The higher one climbs, the further one can see.'
The Martial Dao was like that.
The higher one's attainment in the Martial Dao, the more secrets one would know.
The Dayu Trading Company's Sunken Wooden Ships would make a round trip every three months. If one wanted to travel from the three dynasties to the Longtu Dynasty, they would only have four chances in a year.
In the first genius competition of the Three Ferocious City, Chen Zong defeated all his opponents and became the champion. He personally engraved his name at the top of the Three Ferocious Battle Stele. For Chen Zong, the experience in the Three Ferocious City was already over.
After all, the difference between the True Martial Realm and the Energy Training Realm was huge, even if it was the Pseudo True Martial Realm.
Chen Zong's initial goal was to find an opportunity to break through to the Great Perfection of the Energy Training Realm. Now that he had found it, and he even had one foot in the Great Perfection of the Energy Training Realm. It was only a matter of time before he reached the Great Perfection of the Energy Training Realm.
Since that was the case, Chen Zong was going to cross the Sinking Feather River and head to the Longtu Dynasty. Compared to the Cloud Dragon Dynasty, the Martial Dao there was more prosperous, and there were more geniuses, experts, and legacies there.
Perhaps the owner of the Chaotic Heaven Energy Breaking Force, Martial King Chaotic Heaven, came from the Longtu Dynasty.
The Sunken Wooden Ship was completely black. It was thirteen meters long, six meters wide, seven meters tall, and three meters deep. It sailed steadily on the Sinking Feather River at a rapid speed.
The uniqueness of the Sinking Feather River meant that there wouldn't be any huge waves. At most, there would be some small waves, which wouldn't bring any danger to the ship.
The Sunken Wooden Ship was heavy, and it would sink if placed in other water. Only in a special place like the Sinking Feather River could it float. However, its weight didn't decrease at all. The shocking weight also made the Sunken Wooden Ship unusually stable. It sailed quickly on the river, braving the wind and waves without any bumps.
On the side of the Sunken Wooden Ship, there was a silver feather, which was the symbol of the Dayu Trading Company.
The Sunken Wooden Ship mainly carried goods bought from the three dynasties at a low price. There weren't many passengers, only a dozen or so.
It wasn't cheap to take such a trip. Every passenger had to pay 200 Spirit Shells, and only the accommodation was included. If they wanted to eat, they had to pay another Spirit Shell.
Luckily, Chen Zong had brought along a lot of Spirit Shells, or else it would be troublesome.
His long black hair was tied up with a gold and silver thread, and it fell behind his head. It looked natural and casual, and it fluttered in the wind. His clear and deep eyes reflected the endless blue river water, which was like a deep pool that contained heaven and earth.
His breath was steady and long, and there was a peaceful aura between his breaths.
He was wearing a very tight silver sword robe with a light green tinge, which made his body look even more slender and strong, and extraordinary.
Although this robe wasn't a pseudo Spiritual Artifact, it couldn't be compared to a normal robe. This was because this robe was made from the snake skin of the seven-star early stage venomous python that was killed in the Poisonous Fog Valley. It was woven with precious materials such as Sky Silver Thread.
It was called the Silver Python Robe.
Xia Tiechao asked a master tailor to make the skin of the venomous python that Chen Zong brought back. There were two sets in total. One was for Chen Zong to wear, and the other was folded and put in a bag, which could be changed.
In addition to the robe, the Silver Python Robe also had a set of underwear and so on. It was very comfortable to wear, and it felt warm in winter and cool in summer.
Not only that, but the Silver Python Robe also had amazing defensive power. It could resist the sharpness of godly iron-level swords and sabers, and also resist the attack of godly iron-level blunt weapons. It could reduce part of the force and better protect the wearer.
Although it couldn't be compared with a pseudo Spiritual Artifact inner armor, it could improve Chen Zong's life-saving ability. Moreover, in some bad environments, the Silver Python Robe could also play a good role in protecting the wearer. It wouldn't be so easily damaged.
Chen Zong liked it very much.
As for the eight claws of the giant spider, they were suitable to be made into weapons. Chen Zong already had weapons, so he didn't need them. He gave them to Xia Tiechao.
Under the Silver Python Robe, there was a long sword on each side of his waist, a third long sword, a longbow, and a quiver of arrows on his back, and a bag on his shoulder.
This attire was very strange and very eye-catching.
Setting off from the Sinking Feather River outside Ferocious Three Ferocious City and crossing the Sinking Feather River to arrive at a pier in the Longtu Empire would take a total of more than a month. During this period of more than a month, Chen Zong had to stay on this black wooden ship.
The black wooden ship wasn't big. After all, black wood was rare and precious. It was already very good that the Dayu Trading Company could obtain it. It was unknown how much effort they had put in.
Chen Zong's room was also not big. Other than a single wooden bed, there was very little space left. It wasn't enough for him to practice swordsmanship. On the deck, it wasn't suitable for him to practice swordsmanship either. Fortunately, Chen Zong's realm had reached a certain level. Even if he didn't directly use his sword to practice, he could still observe and comprehend.
Previously, Chen Zong had comprehended the Flowing Water Sword on the ship in the Heavenly River State. Now that he was using it to observe the Sinking Feather River, it was a new experience.
As he looked, Chen Zong was slightly startled. A few thousand meters away, a jet-black wooden ship that was only a few meters long was passing by the Dayu Trading Company's black wooden ship at an astonishing speed, moving forward as fast as lightning.
The reason why Chen Zong paid attention to that small ship, other than out of curiosity, was because he saw a familiar figure.
Qing Chen!
Besides Qing Chen, there was another old man on the wooden boat. Qing Chen was standing at the front of the boat while the old man was standing at the back of the boat. As if he had noticed Chen Zong's gaze, the old man turned around and looked at Chen Zong.
Even though they were a few thousand meters apart, Chen Zong felt as if he was being illuminated by sunlight. His heart trembled, as if he had been seen through. Soon, the wooden ship turned into a small black dot in Chen Zong's eyes.
That speed was at least a few times faster than the Dayu Trading Company's wooden ship. This meant that Qing Chen and the old man would be able to cross the Sinking Feather River and reach the Longtu Dynasty in an even shorter time.
"Qing Chen is indeed from the Longtu Dynasty." Chen Zong thought to himself.
Powerful strength and mysterious bloodline power. These were not things that the three great dynasties could possess.
But who was that old man?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it. After all, his goal was not to find out Qing Chen's identity, nor the old man's identity. His goal was to go to the Longtu Dynasty and find a better opportunity.
However, the old man's gaze left a deep impression on Chen Zong.
"Master, perhaps a Transcendent Realm master." Chen Zong thought to himself. This was a kind of intuition, and it was very likely to be true.
It seemed that the old man might be here to protect Qing Chen.
After all, when a genius came out to train, he would encounter all kinds of challenges and even dangers. If he encountered a danger that he couldn't resist, or if someone wanted to murder him, he might be killed. This was why he needed some protection.
Otherwise, for any force, it wasn't easy to nurture a top genius. If he died, it would be a huge loss.
Shaking his head, Chen Zong removed all distracting thoughts and continued to stare at the flowing water of the Sinking Feather River. The sparkling waves seemed to contain a unique rhythm and beauty, causing one to be unable to help but sink into it and carefully observe and savor it.
Night fell and the bright moon hung in the sky, shining its light on the river. The scenery was different from the day.
After observing for a while, Chen Zong returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the small single bed, closing his eyes.
The powerful Chaotic Heaven Yuan Shattering Force filled every part of his body like a mighty river. Chen Zong didn't need to do it deliberately, as he was doing it himself.
