Three days later, Hong Yi's deal with Luo Polang of the Peach God Sect was finally completed. He had sold a large batch of goods, and after earning quite a bit, he replenished all the supplies needed for the voyage.
All the soldiers and sailors had rested in the Nation of Heavenly Wind for a few days, and were full of energy.
They piloted the original two eight-hundred-man ivory ships, the five iron-armored flywheels, and the two enormous whale-like warships of the Peach God Sect.
The warship could hold a thousand people. It was the largest and strongest ship in the world, apart from the Dragon Warship used by the Da Qian Emperor.
Most warships could only hold eight hundred people. It was the largest and strongest ship in the world.
"This ship is worth three million taels of silver! It's comparable to the wealth of a few mid-tier provinces. It can supply two hundred thousand soldiers with food for two to three months. "
Hong Yi was filled with satisfaction. He once again set sail and stood on the high deck of the Peach Deity Angry Whale Ship, gazing into the distance.
In front of the angry whale ship, the big ivory ship, which could carry eight hundred people, was a few feet shorter than the ship, which made it look narrow.
"It's a little expensive, but it's worth it. With a warship like this, we'll be able to dominate the seas." Hong Yi stomped his feet in satisfaction. The deck beneath his feet was as sturdy as steel. The deck was covered in a thick layer of peach-red enamel.
This was a thick layer of grease soaked in peach tree resin mixed with various special materials for many years. It could be fireproof, penetration-proof, and could reduce water resistance.
This layer of resin had fused with the peach wood keel, making the entire warship a single entity. It would not fall apart no matter how strong the waves were.
Furthermore, Hong Yi could sense that there were many spirit designs engraved on the peach wood keel at the bottom of the ship. There was a faint Godly Spirit Energy suppressing the spirits and spirits that came forward.
There were many demons and spirits in the deep sea. Many ships would go out to sea, and the people on the ships would be possessed, turning into ghost ships. However, the Peach God Battleship had gone out to sea many times, and had never been possessed before.
Peach wood was used to repel spirits, and it had been refined by the elders of the Peach God Sect. After a hundred years, it could not be killed by lightning, and it had a pure yang attribute. Although it was not as good as a thousand-year-old Peach God Wood that could condense a Peach God Spirit, it was still very effective in preventing small spirits, ghosts, and chilly thoughts from getting close.
"This Angry Whale Warship's peach wood has a pure Yang characteristic. It can prevent all kinds of diseases on the ship's crew, and it can also kill all kinds of miasma, poison, sickness, and plagues. It's the best treasure for people on long voyages.
Chan Yinsha smiled as he watched Hong Yi stomp his feet and test the sturdiness of the warship.
"Yes, the smell of this hundred-year-old peach tree can kill the plague and remove rheumatism. Furthermore, when the peach tree keel was soaked in oil, the Peach God Sect added a lot of medicinal herbs in order to prevent the plague at sea. It's a pity that the number of hundred-year-old peach trees in the Divine Wind Nation are becoming fewer and fewer, and there aren't enough materials to build the warships. If we had a few hundred or even a thousand of these warships, we would be invincible on the seas. "
Indeed, a huge and sturdy warship that could protect the crew from plagues and diseases could be called a divine weapon of the nation.
Originally, Hong Yi had traded thirty-three Xiantian experts and close to two hundred peak Martial Masters for two warships, a thousand arrows, two horses, and three hundred thousand taels of silver. He felt that he had made a loss. He had wanted to sell these experts for a few million taels of silver, and become a rich man.
Tens of millions of taels of silver. In the entire Da Qian Nation, one could be considered a big family, a rich man. A family that had accumulated wealth for one or two hundred years would only have about ten million taels of silver in their warehouses.
Although his dream of becoming a rich man had been shattered, Hong Yi felt that he had not made a loss at all now that he was sitting on the Peach God Sect's warship.
The Angry Whale Ship was worth so much.
Especially on the top deck of the Angry Whale Ship, there were several rows of tightly-knit ballistae. When there was a battle, five strong men would form a team and pull the ropes. When the bowstring was nocked, the huge ballistae would be shot out, reaching a distance of a thousand steps.
Other than that, there were also two catapults that could be loaded with 500-kilogram boulders. Smaller ships would be destroyed in an instant.
"It's a pity that those ballistae are not artillery ballistae. Otherwise, they would be even more powerful. Even if a Dao technique expert flew over, if they used them well, they would be blasted to smithereens."
Hong Yi had only seized one of Wei Taicang's artillery ballistae, and its power could not be seen clearly. If there were ten, twenty, or even a hundred ballistae, Hong Yi could not imagine how powerful they would be.
The nine ships braved the winds and waves, cruising the vast sea to their heart's content.
Hong Yi stood on the deck, drinking tea and chatting. He looked out at the distant sea, feeling satisfied and carefree.
The various experts under him were either training or pondering, slowly increasing their strength. The soldiers under him were also strong and full of confidence. All of this caused Hong Yi to feel a sense of satisfaction.
As they sailed on the vast sea, besides chatting with Chan Yinsha, discussing martial arts and spiritual techniques, Hong Yi spent most of his time cultivating.
Ever since he had mastered the True Wu Sheng Body, Hong Yi felt his Qi and blood growing stronger and stronger. His Essence Ascending Embryo acupoint was especially stable during cultivation. His brow seemed especially sensitive, as if he was gradually learning the feeling of growing a vertical eye between his brows like the Ming Of Silla of Destruction.
"Essence Blood and Yuan Qi, condensing the Holy Embryo, the innate soul, the acquired form, like a baby, nursing the newborn, the Middle Emperor, the Profound Emperor, the spirit of all living things …"
It was a sunny day, and the sun had just risen. Hong Yi sat cross-legged on the deck, thinking of his love for Chan Yinsha and the comfortable feeling of fighting for her. Hong Yi suddenly felt that he had understood something, so he continued to cultivate.
He slowly condensed his spirit and wanted to store it in the Essence Ascending Embryo between his brows, like a baby. He wanted to use the innate soul to condense the acquired form of the embryo, mobilizing the essence blood and Yuan Qi in his body, using the Yang to supplement the Yin.
Gradually, he felt that the innate soul in his spirit between his brows had a real feeling, as if he was using his essence blood and Yuan Qi to nurse a fetus, a baby!
And this fetus between his brows was covered in golden light, like a baby version of the Maitreya Buddha of the Past. This baby version of the Maitreya Buddha of the Past slowly extended its limbs.
The feeling of infinite strength came from between his brows.
Hong Yi knew that this was the baby formed by his spirit, the Daoist Holy Fetus.
The original scripture that he cultivated was the Maitreya Buddha of the Past, and the Holy Fetus formed was the infant form of the Maitreya Buddha of the Past. If he cultivated the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Sutra, then he would be the baby version of the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva.
Gradually …
Gradually …
The feeling of nursing and nurturing the baby between his brows became more and more real. This was because the spirit had received the essence blood and Yang Qi, and the nourishment of the blood and soul, neutralizing the pure Yin, increasing its strength. It was a transformation from the illusory to the real.
The power of the spirit was gradually increasing in this nursing, and the degree of condensation of the spirit also became firmer and firmer with each step of cultivation.
As Hong Yi cultivated, he forgot about the time. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly felt that the baby formed by the spirit between his brows seemed to have been nurtured, and its four limbs kept kicking, like a baby that was about to come out after its mother had carried it for ten months.
As the spirit moved, he felt a swelling pain between his brows, like the pain before childbirth, and his head felt like it was being chopped by an ax.
"Eh? Could it be a sign of the formation of the Holy Fetus? I asked Chan Yinsha about his experience of becoming a ghost immortal, and it seemed to be similar! Could it be that I'm starting to break through the barrier of the ghost immortal realm, and will be able to turn around and become an immortal ghost immortal? "
Suddenly, Hong Yi's heart skipped a beat.
He had tempered his spirit, and his mind had been firm since he was young. When he cultivated the Maitreya Buddha Sutra, he experienced all kinds of illusions, and his heart was unwavering. This sudden pain like childbirth was nothing to him.
However, this feeling reminded him of what Chan Yinsha had told him about when he cultivated to become a ghost immortal.
Chan Yinsha said that when he cultivated to become a ghost immortal, all his essence, qi, spirit, and soul thoughts were restrained, and combined with his own blood and soul, there was a feeling of returning to the connate, and becoming a fetus. As for his own body, there was a feeling as if the Yang Qi had been sucked out, and he was extremely weak. From then on, his body also gradually weakened, and only when he turned into a corpse and changed into a new body, did his blood and Qi become strong again.
He used his own spirit and blood to give birth to something that was between reality and illusion.
This thing was the sacred fetus of Daoism, the ghost immortal of Daoism.
"Once I become a ghost immortal, my body and soul will be completely separated, and become two separate existences. From then on, the progress of martial arts cultivation will be extremely slow, and my body will be weak for a long time, unless I turn into a corpse, or have the nourishment of natural treasures, elixirs, and miraculous medicines. However, my body will be weak, but my spirit will be unprecedentedly strong, and I will truly understand the essence of the soul and soul. Possession and reincarnation will only take a single thought."
Hong Yi once again recalled some of the experiences that Chan Yinsha had warned him about.
"If that's the case, I'll make a violent impact, and see if this spirit fetus can expand out of my glabella! Cultivate to become a ghost immortal! "
Hong Yi made up his mind, and entered a state of mind where life and death were no longer a concern.
He activated the Marrow Extraction and Energy Transformation Technique.
As soon as he activated it, his whole body immediately shook violently, and his qi and blood surged. His bone marrow wriggled, and the feeling of numbness, pain, and needles were getting stronger and stronger.
Hong Yi finally knew what it felt like to extract marrow and draw blood.
For a moment, he felt that his bones were empty, and his whole body had become an empty shell.
And the Yang Qi in his blood and soul all rushed towards the visualized body between his eyebrows, which was covered in golden light and looked like the Great Buddha Amitabha.
Rumble!
The Amitabha in the form of a baby seemed to have received a great tonic, and once again shook violently and expanded! It became more and more intense. The pain in Hong Yi's head, which was like being chopped by knives and axes, increased by ten times!
His whole head, including between his eyebrows, felt like it was about to explode.
The baby Amitabha also seemed to have torn apart the Vital Qi Upper Fetus between Hong Yi's eyebrows, and broke out of it.
However, the strong Vital Qi Upper Fetus forcibly restrained the expansion of the spirit. Every time it expanded and shook, the Vital Qi Upper Fetus seemed to become stronger and stronger, and remained firm and unbreakable.
Moreover, when Hong Yi activated the Marrow Extraction and Energy Transformation Technique, although the Yang Qi in his blood and soul nourished the spirit, it also nourished the Vital Qi Upper Fetus aperture.
The spirit was strong, and it was about to break out of the fetus, but the placenta was strong and restrained the spirit.
It was like the rising of the water.
No matter how high the water rose, it couldn't drown the ship.
No matter how strong the spirit was, it couldn't break the Vital Qi Upper Fetus.
"Could it really be the rising of the water! When the Dao rises one foot, the devil rises ten, and I can't break through this barrier? I don't believe it! I don't need to worry about this and that. The sage said, if you hear the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening! It really makes sense! "
Just when Hong Yi was trying his best to nurture the Holy Fetus and break it, but he encountered the awkward situation of the rising of the water, the strengthening of the spirit and the strengthening of the fetus, all of a sudden, the six classic words of "If you hear the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening" surged into Hong Yi's mind.
Originally, with Hong Yi's cautious and slow character, when faced with such a situation, he would immediately stop, and then repeatedly study and explore.
But now, he thought of what Chan Yinsha said about youthful frivolity. Combined with a lifetime of reading experience, frivolity, hot-bloodedness, masculinity, courage, and perseverance, all these things became the six words "If you hear the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening".
It was a very simple six words, and a thought.
These six words were very common words of a sage, and Hong Yi also knew its meaning.
But there had never been a moment like this when he deeply understood the meaning of these six words.
"Even if I die in the next moment, I must understand the Ghost Immortal Dao! The barrier of life and death! What exactly is it? The Dao of Life and Death, the barrier between life and death. If I cultivate carefully and stop at the first risk, it is a kind of fear of life and death in itself. How can I break through the barrier of life and death? Without the courage to hear the Dao in the morning, how can I break through the barrier? "
Hong Yi did not stop in the midst of this enlightenment. He continued to fiercely use the Marrow Extracting Technique without caring about his physical body.
Wave after wave of blood spirit and masculinity surged to the spot between his eyebrows, where the Essence Ascended to the Fetus was.
Hong Yi could even feel that the True Martial Fist Intent seemed to flow into his Divine Soul as his Qi and blood circulated intensely in his body.
His Divine Soul expanded again!
"Huh? What's going on? "
Chan Yinsha was originally sitting on the deck, quietly cultivating and thinking about the Shenxiao Thunder Technique. But suddenly, a strong soul fluctuation woke her up.
At the same time, Mr. Zhou also felt relaxed. The trace of restriction that Hong Yi had placed on him had disappeared without a trace.
Hong Yi withdrew all his thoughts while he was making the breakthrough.
"Even the True Martial Fist Intent has surged into his Divine Soul. How can he be so reckless?" Chan Yinsha saw Hong Yi's reaction. She activated her thoughts and scanned over. She could faintly feel that when Hong Yi's Qi and blood were circulating, the True Martial aura formed by the combination of the Sky Snake and the giant tortoise, as well as the masculinity of the fist intent, had also surged into the Essence Ascended to the Fetus between his eyebrows along with the blood spirit.
Kaboom!
Just when Chan Yinsha was about to figure out a way to stop Hong Yi from going all out, a strong gust of chilly wind suddenly burst out from between Hong Yi's eyebrows. The huge thought was fluctuating, and the chilly wind carried a faint smell of blood.
This thought was completely different from the previous ones.
"This is … broken! He broke the barrier? "
Chan Yinsha's mouth opened in surprise.
Because at this moment, Hong Yi had broken through life and death and become a ghost immortal!
He had finally succeeded!
At this moment, life and death were no longer terrifying!
