NOVPUB"The third battle of the unknown civilization of the Star Sea."
"The reserve energy has already been exhausted."
"After derivation, the possibility of winning the next battle is zero."
"Executing the backup plan..."
"Transmitting data..."
"Initiating the self-destruct sequence for the Flying Boat..."
The voice of the Flying Boat caused the five surviving Unity-Path experts to change color in alarm.
"Not good!"
Lan Yu instinctively unfolded the Martial Arts Arena, sheltering the five once again.
The other four also used their means to aid themselves.
"Initiating... initi... initi..."
Yet the unforeseen happened once again.
The voice of the Dignified Flying Boat seemed to be interfered with, stuttering repetitively.
But the explosion did not occur.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above the Flying Boat, huge booming sounds echoed again.
Through rolling smoke and dust, a circular gap appeared abruptly. More than thirty figures wearing strange armor, unknown beings, entered one after the other.
They were well-trained, with ten of them surrounding Lan Yu and his comrades.
The rest continued to explore inside the Flying Boat.
"Lan Yu, elder brother, you are worldly-wise. What do you make of the current situation?" Xu Guanhai communicated telepathically.
Guan Xingxiu said with some uncertainty, "An unknown civilization of the Star Sea?"
"Possibly. Let’s not be rash, let’s try to communicate first."
After all, their helpless Dignified Flying Boat had been easily overtaken by these mysterious people. It was clear evidence of their strength.
If it was possible to avoid confrontation, it was best to do so.
After a brief consultation, Lan Yu spoke up, " Esteemed friends, we mean no harm..."
The response from the other side was swift and in the same language, "Cut the chatter and keep quiet!"
"Brother Liu, we can’t break through their protective Magic Treasures at the moment, shall we use the ’Immortal Seal’ again?"
"No rush, just keep them trapped. We’ll talk once we pull this Flying Boat back."
...
"Immortal Seal?"
Lan Yu and the others exchanged glances.
Time passed slowly amidst the strange atmosphere.
Slight vibrations from the Immortal Boat broke the stalemate.
"Phew... We can remove the protection now."
With a relieved tone, another group arrived inside the Dignified Flying Boat and took over control.
Leading them was a long-haired man in a unique Taoist Robe, with a broken half of a Black Jade Hairpin in his hair.
Although the man exuded the aura of the Realm of Unification, similar to Lan Yu and his group,
He also seemed to possess an additional mysterious force.
This made the five Unity-Path experts from the Xuanhuang World feel an involuntary sense of crisis,
As if facing a terrifying Catastrophe in the Dark Void.
"Eminent friend..."
Lan Yu and the others tried to communicate with the long-haired practitioner.
He seemed not to hear them, muttering to himself: "Indeed, Brother Zhao was correct; in that direction, we actually captured a ship. It’s an encounter that hasn’t happened for thousands of years."
"Watch them closely!"
Lan Yu and the others still wanted to speak, but the long-haired man glanced at them inadvertently.
In his dark eyes, a character appeared, ghostlike.
It appeared in the minds of Lan Yu and the others, quickly becoming as omnipresent as Heaven and Earth, filling everything they saw, felt, and heard.
They could not see, nor hear.
They were plunged into endless darkness.
To outsiders, it seemed that just a casual glance from the long-haired cultivator struck Lan Yu and the others dumb, causing them to stand, transfixed.
A hushed silence fell on the room. Only after the long-haired man walked away did they begin to whisper amongst themselves.
"Elder Wang grows stronger by the day. Remember, these are all bona fide Unity-Path strongmen!"
"What nonsense Unity-Path, if they don’t understand the power of ’Immortal Seal,’ what difference do they have from us Gold Cores and Nascent Souls? They’re just a bit stronger, that’s all."
"Makes sense."
...
The long-haired cultivator hurried back, and as for the captured Flying Boat, other professionals would come to inspect it.
Although the craftmanship of this Flying Boat was indeed not mediocre, what was most crucial was that it did not resonate with the power fluctuations of True Immortal seal characters.
Therefore, its true value was actually ordinary.
What the long-haired practitioner cared about now was something else.
Zhao Xian from the Path Validation Academy had actually prophesied the arrival of this ship from the Depths of the Star Sea...
How did he do it?
Could it be that he had also comprehended additional power of the True Immortal Seal Characters in secret?
The long-haired cultivator was puzzled beyond measure, subconsciously touching the broken half of the Black Jade Hairpin on his head.
"Has this one, silent for seven or eight years, finally decided to reveal his brilliance?"
"In one day, advancing to God Transformation and then to Unity-Path, breaking all beliefs about the speed of cultivation on the Immortal Boat, and then also discerning an all-new True Immortal seal character..."
The long-haired cultivator hastened his steps, quickly leaving the Immortal Boat’s docking port and returning to the Broken Immortal Tower.
In a quiet, dimly-lit Secret Room, the long-haired practitioner met the likewise disheveled Zhao Xian.
"Brother Zhao." He lost his earlier arrogance and spoke softly.
Zhao Xian, as if not hearing, remained with eyes closed, lost in thought.
His fingers occasionally traced gently in the air, his mouth whispering indistinct words.
The long-haired cultivator, though ignored, did not get angry. Instead, he watched intently the path of Zhao Xian’s fingers in the air, speculating secretly.
After an unknown period, Zhao Xian finally spoke, "Was the Flying Boat located?"
The long-haired cultivator nodded.
"This Immortal Boat comes from beyond the Star Sea, from the location of the Past Xuanhuang World."
