Xiao Chen covered his entire Dantian with his Divine Sense. A part of it entered the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball and integrated with it. He used his heart to feel the structure and changes of the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball.
At the same time, another part of Xiao Chen's Divine Sense paid close attention to everything in his Dantian, including the rotation frequency of the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball, the frequency of the blood-colored energy ball revolving around the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball, the density of the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, and so on.
Xiao Chen learned from Xiao Haoran and Xue Wuhen that the Earthly Dragon Realm warriors' Spiritual Energy Solid Ball was wrapped in a special energy shield. The energy shield was not purely made of Spiritual Energy or Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Instead, it was a combination of both.
The combination of Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth required one to comprehend the Way of Heaven and Earth. Through the Way of Heaven, the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball could be combined with a special energy shield.
With the protection of the special energy shield, the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball would have a layer of defense. It would not be easily damaged by external forces. Of course, this layer of defense was not invincible. When the external force was strong enough, the special energy shield would break.
The prerequisite for forming a special energy layer was to comprehend the Way of Heaven. To be exact, it was to comprehend a defensive Way of Heaven. With a defensive Way of Heaven, one could combine Spiritual Power and Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to form a defensive special energy layer. Then, one would be halfway to the Earth Dragon Realm.
After comprehending the Way of Heaven, one still needed to compress and condense the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball to undergo a qualitative change. If one could not comprehend the Way of Heaven, everything would be for naught. It would be impossible to break through to the Earthly Dragon Realm.
Xiao Chen also separated a part of his Divine Sense out of his body to sense the surrounding environment. He hoped to gain some inspiration and comprehend the Way of Heaven. This was the experience of Xiao Haoran and Xue Wuhen. Whether he could comprehend the Way of Heaven depended on Xiao Chen's talent and luck.
However, every warrior had a different understanding of the Way of Heaven. Not only did they have different ways of understanding, but they also comprehended different Ways of Heaven.
Some Ways of Heaven focused on defense, some focused on offense, and some focused on speed. Some Ways of Heaven had special functions, such as healing, hiding, and so on.
There were many types of Heavenly Ways. It was already good enough for an ordinary Earth Dragon Realm expert, Heavenly Dragon Realm expert, and Divine Dragon Realm expert to comprehend a few types of Heavenly Ways. Moreover, the depth of their comprehension of Heavenly Ways was different, which determined the combat strength of different cultivations.
Xiao Chen began the process of comprehending the Heavenly Dao, which he did not know how long it would take. It might only take a few hours, a few days, or even dozens of days. Perhaps he would not be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao at all.
However, Xiao Chen wouldn't foolishly sit there for dozens of days. If he couldn't comprehend the Heavenly Dao after a few days, then he would stop and use a heaven-ranked spirit stone to once again comprehend the Heavenly Dao.
If Xiao Chen was still unable to comprehend the Heavenly Dao after refining the Heaven-Step Spirit Stone, then he would really be a little miserable. It was almost equivalent to wasting a Heaven-Step Spirit Stone.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Xiao Chen was still in a state of cultivation, and there was no movement. Clearly, he had not comprehended the Heavenly Dao.
The yellow dog had been guarding beside Xiao Chen the entire time. It didn't leave his side at all and didn't doze off. Fortunately, no enemies appeared. Otherwise, there would be another battle.
The pirate ship, The Strongest, sailed at an average speed of 30,000 miles per day toward Black Flag Island, which was two million miles away. It would take about two months to reach Black Flag Island.
"Rumble!"
"Crack!"
Suddenly, thunder and lightning appeared in the originally clear sky. Countless dark clouds gathered from all directions, and a strong sea breeze blew. It seemed to indicate that there was going to be a storm in this area.
"It's going to rain? Isn't Big Brother going to soak in the water? This is going to be troublesome. D * mn thunderstorm weather! "The yellow dog looked up at the sky and couldn't help but curse. It was worried for Xiao Chen.
"Da, da, da." At this moment, Zheng Chenggong carried a huge bag and quickly walked to a spot three feet away from Xiao Chen. He stopped and whispered to the yellow dog respectfully, "Vice Captain, it's going to rain soon.
Captain is still in a state of cultivation, so I took the liberty of carrying a tent to shelter you from the rain. Can you let me set it up for Captain? "
"A tent to shelter you from the rain?"
The yellow dog was originally staring at Zheng Chenggong coldly. When it heard the latter's words, it nodded its head in approval and instructed with satisfaction, "Set it up, but be careful. Don't alarm my Big Brother."
"Yes, Vice Captain," Zheng Chenggong wasn't here to flatter Xiao Chen. He was here to serve Xiao Chen with utmost respect.
After a while, Xiao Chen was covered by a tent that was three feet tall and three feet in diameter. The tent also covered the yellow dog. The tent was connected to the deck by four ropes to prevent it from being blown away by the strong sea breeze.
The yellow dog looked around the tent and nodded its head in satisfaction. It said to Zheng Chenggong, who was standing outside the tent, "Captain Zheng, well done. When my Big Brother wakes up, you will definitely be rewarded. You may leave now."
"Lord Vice Captain, this is what I should do. I don't need a reward for such a small matter. I will take my leave now."
Zheng Chenggong was elated when he received the yellow dog's praise. He respectfully retreated and went to direct the ship's defense against the storm. The storm this time seemed to be relatively big, so he had to treat it seriously. Otherwise, the Strongest might be in danger of capsizing and sinking.
It was very normal for a storm to appear in the Deity Sea. The Strongest had encountered many storms along the way, but they had always survived without any mishaps. Who knew if they would survive this time?
"Rumble!"
"Pitter-patter!"
"Splash!"
The storm came very quickly. In less than half an incense's time, a heavy downpour began to pour. The huge curtain of rain covered the Strongest. It was faintly discernible, appearing and disappearing from time to time. It was like a ghost ship drifting in the sea shrouded in a violent storm.
The captain, sailors, and pirate warriors of the Strongest were doing their best to control the ship and resist the impact of the storm. They didn't dare to slack off. Otherwise, if the ship sank, they would either drown or become snacks for the sea beasts.
Xiao Chen sat in the precarious tent. His body swayed along with the shaking ship. However, he was relatively still with the ship, like a wooden stake nailed to the deck. He wasn't affected at all.
The yellow dog looked at Xiao Chen worriedly, afraid that something would go wrong with Xiao Chen's cultivation. He had a feeling that something was about to happen.
"Bang!"
Indeed, what he thought came true. The already shaking ship was suddenly hit by something. It produced a loud sound and shook violently, almost capsizing the ship.
"Enemy attack? It seems like a sea beast is attacking our ship? How dare you sneak attack my ship? You're courting death! "
The yellow dog's eyes turned cold. He extended his senses and immediately sensed that many powerful sea beasts had appeared in the sea. Hence, he rushed out of the tent with a murderous look, intending to teach the sea beasts that had ambushed the ship a bloody lesson.
The yellow dog immediately transformed into The Lion King as soon as he got out of the tent. He stood majestically in the rain and looked down on the harsh environment. He transmitted his voice to the Fengsha Sword and instructed, "Xiao Sha, you're in charge of protecting Big Brother. I'll go get rid of those reckless pirates!"
"Da Huang, hurry up and go. Otherwise, the ship will be overturned by the sea beasts." The Fengsha Sword urged. He was worried that the ship would capsize and sink. If the ship sank, then Xiao Chen would fall into the water.
"Roar!"
The Lion King did not waste any more time. With a loud roar, he shook off the rain and soared into the sky. After reaching a height of a hundred zhang, he looked down at the raging waves of the sea with a cold gaze. Then, he dove into the sea and disappeared in an instant.
After the Lion King entered the sea, the attacks from the sea beasts on the ship decreased significantly. The Strongest pirate ship was temporarily out of danger, but the crisis was not over yet. They had to wait and see how the battle between the Lion King and the sea beasts would turn out.
If another Grade-9 sea beast or half-Sage sea beast appeared, the Strongest Pirate Crew would suffer a fatal blow. Xiao Chen and his brothers would also be in danger.
The Strongest Pirate Crew was luckier this time. It was only a group of sea bears that ambushed the ship. There were about a dozen of them, and their strength varied. The strongest was only a peak Grade-8, and the weakest was only an early-stage Grade-5.
This group of sea beasts clearly did not know that a Grade-9 demonic beast and a Divine Dragon Realm monstrous cultivator were hiding on the Strongest. If they had known, they would not have dared to approach the ship even if they were beaten to death.
