A ship?

Zhang Kui quickly thought of the hull thousands of meters beneath the Water Mansion, but at the same time felt it didn’t quite match.

That ship had clearly gone through countless ages, and was obviously perished together with the True Dragon, whereas what the Yaksha General said was about a ship made of Dragon Bone.

“Hahaha…”

Before he could figure it out, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch let out a mocking laugh, “I thought it was something extraordinary, a ship… even if made of Dragon Bone, it’s just a ship.”

“Could it be that the Old Turtle Demon can sail the ship to crash into me?”

“Yes, yes…” The Yaksha General nodded hastily, full of flattery, “The Demon Monarch’s might is unparalleled, we are just delusional, begging the Demon Monarch to spare us.”

“Hehe…”

The voice of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch turned cold, “Don’t flatter me. If the Old Turtle Demon is so confident, there must be some power in that ship. What’s the specific plan?”

Under the pressing of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, the Yaksha General reluctantly recounted the plan to head to Profound Yin Mountain half a month later.

“Humph, the Spiritual Sect…”

Hearing that the location was at Profound Yin Mountain and that the Spiritual Sect was also going, a hint of doubt and seriousness flashed in the countless eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch.

Then, all the eyes covering his body emitted a strange black light, causing the face of the Yaksha General to slowly turn dazed.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch finally withdrew his tentacles,

“Humph, this Starlight Dream-Entering Technique is indeed wondrous, but a wisp of Divine Soul can only achieve this. I still need to find a physical puppet…”

After muttering a few words, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch’s bizarre body, accompanied by starlight, slowly retreated into the darkness.

This method is simply too crude…

Zhang Kui shook his head, thinking that although it’s easy to discern truth from lies in a dream, the Yaksha General obviously concealed quite a bit.

Let’s see my method.

Thinking so, Zhang Kui waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed, revealing caves, seawater, luminous pearls, and stone beds…

The greatest strength of the Dream Marrying Skill lies in weaving dreams, naturally superior to the military advisor’s Starlight Dream-Entering Technique.

“Brother Cha, Brother Cha…”

Accompanied by anxious shouts, the Yaksha General groggily woke up to see the worried face of Mansion Master You.

The Yaksha General was startled, quickly looked around, and then showed a bit of confusion, “Brother You, what happened, something seems off.”

“You were invaded in your dream by that demon, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch!”

Mansion Master You’s face was full of worry, “He must have cast a spell on you. Think carefully, did you accidentally say anything?”

As if struck by a thunder shock, the Yaksha General suddenly became clear-headed, eyes filled with terror.

“Yes, yes, that’s right, that demon must have used some evil skill. I couldn’t break free, I… I talked about the Dragon Ship… It’s over, Elder Gui won’t spare me.”

Seeing the Yaksha General’s concern, Mansion Master You immediately consoled, “You were forced, Elder Gui won’t blame you. Think again, did you leave anything out?”

Suppressing his panic, the Yaksha General thought carefully for a while and then looked excited, “I only mentioned finding the ship, but I didn’t say that the ship needs a Dragon Pearl to start.”

“Hahaha… I didn’t say that the Dragon Qi Array in the Sea God Hall was learned from the Dragon Ship, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch has no idea of its power, he’s doomed!”

Mansion Master You’s eyes sharpened, and he softly said, “Brother Cha, think again, did you reveal the origin of the Dragon Ship?”

“Haha, the Dragon Ship is an ancient relic, and our Water Mansion was built based on it. How could I easily divulge this, Brother You, you…”

The Yaksha General suddenly sensed something wrong, suspiciously stared at Mansion Master You, just about to speak when everything went black before his eyes.

When he awoke, he was back in his own cave mansion, the array hadn’t been triggered, plainly, no one had been here.

The Yaksha General swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling surrounded by malice…

…

Across the vast sea, the sky was filled with stars.

Suddenly, with a splash, Zhang Kui appeared in the air, then with rolling auspicious clouds underfoot, headed towards Taiyuan City.

Unexpectedly, the purpose of the East Sea Water Mansion turned out to be something like a Dragon Bone Ship.

Now all evidence indicates that in ancient times, there was a powerful Immortal Path civilization. They built the Celestial Court, established the Divine Path, and navigated the Star Sea, capable of anything.

Everything he sees now is nothing but relics from the ruins of that era.

Using Dragon Bone as a ship is certainly meant for navigating the sea, but not the sea before his eyes, rather the vast Star Sea!

The East Sea Water Mansion treats it as a weapon, which is simply a waste of a treasure.

The sea breeze howled against him, a glint of excitement flashed in Zhang Kui’s eyes. Claiming “This thing rightfully belongs to me” was somewhat disingenuous.

It’s more like snatching it, damn it!

Meanwhile, within the Sea Eye, the military advisor slowly retracted his spell, altars becoming silent one by one, and the shining starlight gradually dimming.

Upon the altar, the black Divine Soul, like surging pitch, opened countless eyes.

“Hundred-Eyed Taoist Friend, did you find anything?”

The military advisor’s clear voice rang out.

“They’re going to look for a ship…”

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch did not conceal and recounted what he saw and heard. Instantly, the aura around the military advisor’s blurry figure surged.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch immediately sensed something and said in a deep voice, “What, does Taoist Friend recognize this item?”

The military advisor was silent for a moment,

“Hundred-Eyed Taoist Friend, you and I share the same fate. We are both left with only a wisp of a Divine Soul, trapped in this small world, unable to find release.”

“Perhaps our opportunity has come…”

…

The candlelight flickered softly, the Stone Hall was vast and empty.

“Baoshan Master, this Moonlight Mountain is rich with Spiritual Qi, the most superior among the Spiritual Sect’s mountains, yet you are willing to give it up…”

A woman dressed in a green palace robe, with a phoenix hairpin on her high bun, had charming eyes, dark purple lips, a graceful waist, and a snake tail slithering forward.

Bao Wuxin’s expression was indifferent, “Ultimately, it’s just an external possession. It’s better to exchange it for some Spirit Medicine. Yunshan Master, I know you’ve coveted it for a long time. Are you satisfied?”

The woman covered her mouth and laughed enchantingly, “Baoshan Master need not worry, Sect Leader Chilin is not the kind of person to haggle…”

“I know very well what kind of person he is!”

A flash of blood gleamed in Bao Wuxin’s eyes as she coldly said, “Enough with the nonsense, give me the item.”

The woman’s snake tail slowly withdrew her smile, and a jade gourd suddenly appeared in her hand which she tossed over.

Bao Wuxin scanned it with her Divine Sense and without another word, turned and left.

The snake-tailed woman stared at Bao Wuxin’s departing figure, her eyes glowing a ghostly green, hissing as she flicked her long snake tongue.

Bao Wuxin seemed to sense something, turned around and gave a cold smile, left the hall, and upon looking up, saw the cold and piercing moonlight. The Little Demons around all bowed their heads, not daring to look at her, and in the distance, many Snake Demons had already coiled into an array for cultivation.

Bao Wuxin cast a cold glance, soared into the air, arrived at the edge of a cliff, looked at the endless sea tides, and drank alone, with eyes full of sorrow.

“Master, you kindly took in the Snake Lair lineage back then, but did you ever think of today…”

“You once said that becoming the foundation of heaven and earth, all creations stem from this, but if there is no eternity in the world, what are we seeking…”

Below the cliff, a small fish swam among the rocks, ignoring the undercurrents, easily bypassing one dangerous array after another, then with a splash, leapt out of the sea surface.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The small fish transformed into a mosquito, flying straight against the strong wind, and soon landed at the top of the towering cliff.

Bao Wuxin smiled slightly, picked up the wine jar, and shook it, “What kind of mosquito can split the fierce wind, Taoist Friend Zhang, I, a dying person, am now in the Spiritual Sect without anyone daring to provoke me, so rest assured to come out and have a drink.”

“Haha, don’t know who will die yet…”

The smoke dispersed, revealing Zhang Kui’s figure, who picked up the wine jar and took a few swigs, “Good wine, its aftertaste is cool like moonlight, though a bit bland.”

“This is brewed from Cold Moon Grass, only by calming the mind can one appreciate it.”

Bao Wuxin gave a faint smile, “Taoist Friend, why did you come two days early?”

“I couldn’t wait…”

Zhang Kui didn’t hide it, recounting what he had seen, heard, and guessed.

Bao Wuxin listened, dumbfounded, “Taoist Friend means that the ship can allow us to bypass the Underworld and go directly to the Moon Palace?”

“There’s a possibility!”

Zhang Kui beamed with joy, “This time, we need to plan carefully…”

A flicker of excitement also appeared in Bao Wuxin’s eyes, “To think there is such an unexpected delight, should we inform Taoist Friend Yuanhuang?”

“Forget it…”

Zhang Kui looked disdainful, “That guy is too timid. If he knew, I can already imagine what he’d say.”

“That rascal… is causing trouble again!”

The two said at the same time, laughing heartily.

Meanwhile, in the grand hall of Moonlight Mountain, dark mist and demon clouds surged, as a gigantic black snake with a single horn, ten meters thick and several hundred meters long, slowly emerged, flicking its tongue with eyes full of ferocious black light.

“Husband…”

The snake woman in the grand hall smiled as she slithered and coiled her way over, gently stroking the head of the giant snake, “You said you were going down the mountain to find blood food, were you satisfied?”

The black snake said nothing but slowly opened its fanged mouth towards the snake woman, inside filled with writhing flesh and countless eyes.

The snake woman was initially stunned, then her eyes filled with fear, “Hundred…”

Before she could finish her sentence, a shadow darted through the air, a single finger pointed at her forehead, then transformed into an elusive white mist drilling into the snake woman’s mouth.

The snake woman’s eyes flickered with a ghostly light, but after a while, her expression turned calm, and she slightly cupped her hands towards the black snake, “Hundred-Eyed Taoist Friend.”

The mass of flesh in the black snake’s mouth squirmed and a chilling voice emerged, “The Enchanting Skill mysteriously failed, but the East Sea Water Mansion surely wouldn’t expect that I also planted a puppet clone in the Spiritual Sect.”

“Hundred-Eyed Taoist Friend’s methods are indeed brilliant.”

The snake woman smiled faintly and looked down at her delicate fists, “This body is still a bit weak, but it will suffice…”

Just then, the grand hall suddenly trembled slightly, alongside a terrifying hiss, a red light soared into the sky from afar.

The snake woman and black snake simultaneously turned their heads, glaring coldly in the direction of the red light.

At the cliff, Bao Wuxin also suddenly stood up, looking at that red light, a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

“Damn Chilin broke through the barrier ahead of time…”
