One month later.
Nanhai City, the southernmost part of Tiancheng Country.
Nanhai City, as the southernmost city of Tiancheng Country and the closest city to the coast, naturally became the largest maritime trade center of Tiancheng Country. Most of the marine products business in Tiancheng Country started here. Because of this, it was also the most developed of all the coastal cities.
Nanhai City had countless ports, large and small, and thousands of ships docked there. Most of these ships were for trading, and a small number of them were for ocean-going pleasure. However, ocean-going pleasure was generally something that only rich people could afford. Ordinary people couldn't afford it at all.
The villages around Nanhai City were also close to the coastline. Most of these people made a living by fishing. They would sell the fish they caught to Nanhai City to make some money. They were self-sufficient in food and could be considered free and unfettered.
However, danger and evil existed in any seemingly peaceful place, not to mention a place close to the ocean. Where there was an ocean, there were pirates. On this vast ocean, there were countless pirates.
Most of these pirates made a living by robbing passing merchant ships, and their bases were on the surrounding islands. However, because of the existence of pirates, generally merchant ships would hire some powerful crew members or even Heavenly Masters. Therefore, pirates who robbed merchant ships were generally very powerful, and those who were not powerful would rob villages.
One had to know that pirates were extremely cruel. Generally, when pirates robbed ships, they wouldn't leave anyone alive except for young women. When they robbed villages, they would usually leave someone alive, but they would also kill many people to threaten the village so that the village would not dare to resist.
Therefore, these villagers lived in fear every day. The fishermen would hide their weapons in their homes or along the coast in case they were attacked by pirates.
On the southern coast of Nanhai City, next to the largest port of Lidu, there was a young man riding a horse.
The young man was wearing a white cloak, quietly covering his whole body in the sea breeze. The animal fur on the collar looked particularly warm, and from the hand holding the horse, one could see that the young man was wearing light blue clothes inside. They were luxurious but not pompous. Instead, they gave off a quiet feeling.
Lu An's eyes were calm as he looked at the boundless ocean in front of him and the endless horizon. However, his heart was not as calm as it looked on the surface.
This was the first time he had seen the ocean with his own eyes, and this ocean was bigger than he had imagined.
He didn't know how far the horizon was, but he could vaguely see merchant ships passing by the horizon. These merchant ships moved like tiny specks of dust, causing people to sigh at the sight.
Moreover, this huge harbor made Lu An gasp in amazement. When he was a slave, he also worked at the port, but that was an inland port, next to the river. There was only one port, so how could it be compared to this place? The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
There were probably tens of thousands of people working at the port, and this was Lu An's conservative estimate. Looking at the bustling port and the loading and unloading of goods of all sizes, Lu An felt that his understanding of the world was still too small.
After all, there were some things that couldn't be achieved through imagination.
However, Lu An frowned slightly as he looked at the ocean. The sea was too calm, without the slightest feeling of great waves. The reason he came to the seaside was to find an opportunity to cultivate the Wrath of the Ocean. Such a calm ocean was far from what his master had described.
At the very least, he had to see an angry ocean.
Just yesterday, he had successfully advanced to the late-stage of a level-1 Heaven Master while he was on the road. The increase in strength made him feel an increase in strength again. Now, even if he didn't use the Realm of the Demon Gods, he was confident that he could defeat any level-1 Heaven Master. After using the Realm of the Demon Gods, he felt that there would be few opponents even among level-2 Heaven Masters.
However, he still couldn't fight with a level-3 Heaven Master. Two months ago, when he fought with the man in black, he felt the power of a level-3 Heaven Master. The gap between a level-2 Heaven Master and a level-3 Heaven Master was too big. Even if he reached the peak of a level-1 Heaven Master, he wasn't confident that he could fight with a level-3 Heaven Master.
In his sea of consciousness, the man in the black fog had been sleeping. Lu An didn't disturb him, because he knew that the man in the black fog must have suffered a great injury.
However, during the two months of recuperation and travel, other than cultivating his strength, he also tried to cultivate a Heaven Skill called the Divine Palm Technique.
Speaking of the Divine Palm Skill, Lu An couldn't help but think of the white-haired man he met on the way to the Netherworld. That was the strongest person he had seen so far, other than the man in the black fog.
A level-8 Heaven Master was a realm that he didn't even dare to think about. He still remembered when he was at Starfire Academy, Teacher Han Ying had said that level-8 Heaven Masters were the most powerful people in the world. They could overturn rivers and seas, go to heaven and earth, and were omnipotent. How could Lu An not care when he saw such a powerful person with his own eyes?
Moreover, he had left a "gift" in his sea of consciousness. It was impossible for him to not care about a level-8 Heaven Master's gift. Therefore, he tried to open the gift, but he could only open a corner.
This gift was none other than the Divine Sovereign Skill.
"The Divine Palm Skill. Use the origin of the heavens to exchange for the path of the heavens and accomplish the matters of the heavens."
This was the first sentence of the Divine Palm Skill, and it was also the outline of the entire Heaven Skill. Although these short words seemed easy to understand, if one thought about it carefully, they wouldn't understand anything.
What was the skill? What was the origin? What was the path? What was the matter?
Right now, Lu An could only see the first chapter of the Divine Palm Skill. Although the contents were strange, they weren't difficult to understand. The general idea was that the origin of the world wasn't the power of heaven essence that he saw now, nor was it the Fate Wheel. It was a mysterious substance. The eight great attributes also originated from this substance. In other words, this world didn't only have the eight great attributes.
Everything in the world was different. There were thousands of paths, but it was difficult to find one. What this book talked about was a path that was completely different from the power of heaven essence. Although he also cultivated the power of heaven essence, he didn't cultivate the power of heaven essence as the traditional single attribute. Instead, he cultivated it in all aspects.
This book believed that the source of power wasn't the power of heaven essence, but something deeper within it.
In short, the first chapter of the Divine Palm Skill was a principle that completely contradicted everything he had learned. Lu An had tried to understand and learn, but the more he learned, the more confused he became. The two types of knowledge were completely opposite in his mind. Only by completely forgetting the other type could he learn.
But forgetting the other type meant that Lu An had to give up everything he had learned. Lu An couldn't accept such a price. That was why Lu An hadn't improved on the Divine Palm Skill.
A gust of sea breeze blew past, bringing Lu An's thoughts back to reality. He looked at the bustling port in front of him. After thinking for a while, he got off his horse and led it over.
Because the sea here was too calm, Lu An couldn't really feel the power of the sea. That was why he wanted to get on a ship and head to the deep sea. But looking at the cargo ships coming and going, he knew that it was impossible to get on these ships.
In order to ensure the safety of the goods, the people on these ships were all fixed. It was impossible for unknown people to get on the ships. That was why he was wondering if he could rent a ship and head to the deep sea.
Therefore, he wandered around the port. But after looking for a while, he didn't see a single ship. Disappointed, he was about to go to some small ports to take a look. But at that moment, he suddenly saw an especially tall ship in the distance!
This ship was extremely luxurious. Just looking at its appearance was enough to shock people. The ship was nearly ten feet tall and more than three hundred feet long. There were four floors on the ship. The surface of the ship was exquisitely carved and inlaid with gold and silver. Even Lu An was stunned for a while when he saw such an arm.
Moreover, Lu An noticed that there were many luxuriously dressed people walking up the ship where it was docked. These people only brought some luggage with them, and they looked relaxed as if they were about to go out for a vacation. He was curious and quickly led his horse over.
Soon, Lu An arrived at the bottom of the luxurious ship. Standing outside the ship, Lu An could feel its vastness even more. Standing on the sea, it was like a huge swimming dragon, making people sigh when they looked at it.
Lu An led his horse to the entrance of the ship. He saw a beautiful young lady checking the tickets. He quickly walked up and asked, "Hello, how can I get on this ship?"
