NOVPUBThe gate was split open — was there an entrance to a Small World?
Ever since Liu Yun had expanded the Wanxiang Sect and placed the gate in that realm, over three hundred years had passed. Yet, an entrance to a Small World had never been discovered there.
Now, suddenly an entrance to a small world had appeared; how could it not be surprising?
"Are you sure?" Lin Qian asked with focused attention and received an accurate response. It was indeed a strange occurrence at the former gate of Wanxiang Sect.
Based on the results of remote observations from the battle ship, Lin Qian still trusted them quite a bit. Since the scribes in the command room were so certain, there mustn’t be a mistake.
After a brief contemplation, Lin Qian ordered the scribe in the command room, "Move the battle ship closer to the Wanxiang Sect gate, stop at the nearest safe distance, carefully observe the movements at the gate and collect information to feed back to the Heavenly Art Department for Prime Minister Zhuge to analyze."
"Yes!" Upon receiving Lin Qian’s order, the scribe hurriedly obeyed. The five battle ships hidden within the clouds also headed towards the previously escaped gate of Wanxiang Sect.
"And Prime Minister, you aren’t really taking the role of the Emperor, are you?" Wei Wushuang, standing by and having heard what Lin Qian said, joked.
Lin Qian didn’t clarify, but just chuckled lightly at Wei Wushuang, "What do you think?"
"You impudent boy!" Wei Wushuang remarked irritably.
"Master, after the Black Blood Clan’s Array was activated, the gate split and revealed the entrance to a Small World. Could there be some correlation?" Lin Qian proposed seriously after composing himself.
Wei Wushuang nodded in agreement with Lin Qian’s speculation, "Although it’s also possible that this clan accidentally stumbled upon the hidden entrance to the Small World within the Wanxiang Sect’s territory."
"However, I am more inclined to believe that the Array set up by the Black Blood Clan was what exposed the entrance to the Small World."
Lin Qian nodded silently and reassured Wei Wushuang, "Master need not worry; I will clear up the specifics."
Wei Wushuang understood and then smiled at Lin Qian, "I heard you took Lei Qian to the cabin to let him experience the operation of the battle ship?"
"That’s right." Lin Qian nodded, looking at his master Wei Wushuang, "Why, does Master also want to take a look?"
Wei Wushuang naturally nodded, "Of course. That boy Lei Qian, when Lei Heng asked him what he saw, he wouldn’t disclose anything. Naturally, I am curious."
"Alright, Senior Wei, Sect Master Mei, would you also like to have a look?" Then, Lin Qian turned his gaze to the two others and asked.
While Wei Qingqing seemed indifferent, Mei Yuexia appeared somewhat puzzled, "Is it alright for us to look? If we were spies and knew the situation inside such an important part of the cabin, wouldn’t that be bad?"
"Let’s not say that you two couldn’t possibly be spies; even if you were, there’s nothing that can be done now." Lin Qian explained with a light laugh, and turned to Ye Xin, extending his hand, "Xinxin, let me show you around."
"Yes!" Ye Xin smiled and reached out her small hand to be firmly held by Lin Qian.
After that, they followed behind Lin Qian towards the cabin.
As Lin Qian approached, the protective Array around the cabin automatically formed an entrance, allowing them to pass through.
However, after ascending the stairs and entering the cabin, Wei Wushuang, Wei Qingqing, and Mei Yuexia, who were following Lin Qian, all stopped in their tracks, taking in everything around them.
They had arrived at the first level of the cabin, which was an extremely spacious area, only slightly smaller than the deck above.
Around them, countless figures stood densely packed; all were heavily armored soldiers.
Whether it was the hilt of the sword paired with it, the hilt of the knife, the burly giant Khan shield soldier, the swift soldier standing in the shadows, or soldiers carrying long spears and longbows.
All six different types of soldiers were present here.
After Lin Qian descended, all the soldiers knelt on one knee and bowed their heads toward him.
"Your Majesty!"
The entire space of the first layer of the cabin echoed non-stop with the soldiers’ shouts, which would have startled the disciples on the deck if it weren’t for the Array isolating them.
"The soldiers here, judging from their aura, each one is at the Ninth Level of the Sky Breaking Realm, and there are at least a hundred thousand of them," Mei Yuexia said, her legs growing weak as she stared at Lin Qian’s back, a great fear welling up inside her.
Yes, she was the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, one of the former three sects of Coastal State, a Soul Martial Artist who had reached the Sky Crossing Stage of the Sky Breaking Realm, possessing considerable experience and a very stable Heart Realm.
Originally, when Lin Qian had given her such wealth, although Mei Yuexia was ecstatic, she could control her emotions and stabilize her Heart Realm.
But now, she truly couldn’t keep her composure.
In all of Coastal State, counting the Sky Breaking Realm Soul Martial Artists from the three sects, five gates, the cities under their jurisdiction, as well as those hidden practitioners, there were probably only over three hundred people, or at most, about four hundred.
And among this number of the Sky Breaking Realm, the strength varied.
But now, what appeared before Mei Yuexia were at least a hundred thousand individuals in the Ninth Level of the Sky Breaking Realm.
There were no Life and Death Realm practitioners among the five gates of Coastal State, and Mei Yuexia understood clearly that Lin Qian now had the power to completely obliterate all five gates by himself.
Even if it were the Life and Death Realm, just wearing them down by sheer numbers would probably lead to their death.
Not to mention that once one reached the Life and Death Realm Power Realm, it would be unrealistic to wear them down merely by numbers.
After all, the difference between the Life and Death Realm and the Sky Breaking Realm was like heaven and earth, and the disparity in strength between the four stages of the Life and Death Realm was like an unfathomably deep chasm.
Wei Wushuang and Wei Qingqing also exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
"Brother, what exactly happened to your disciple?" Wei Qingqing communicated to Wei Wushuang through Soul Consciousness.
Wei Wushuang took a deep breath and gently shook his head, "Who knows, when I first met this disciple, he was just a poor kid who couldn’t cultivate. It was the harsh environment on Prison Island, when his childishness was completely worn away, that he began to strengthen."
"After returning from Bashan City, this kid became unfathomable. But I don’t plan to explore his secrets; I only know he’s a good disciple of mine and he even saved my life, that’s enough."
Wei Qingqing nodded slightly, looking at the figure in the distance, feeling reassured, "With him looking after Xinxin, there probably won’t be any problems."
Then, Lin Qian continued to lead them toward the command room. At this point, Mei Yuexia realized why it had been said that even if they came, it wouldn’t matter.
With a hundred thousand Ninth Level Sky Breaking Realm practitioners stationed, who would dare to make a move?
The second layer beneath the cabin was the command room, and upon entering, they were extremely surprised by the scene inside.
Wei Wushuang and Wei Qingqing were also very surprised. Unlike the surprise Lin Qian had originally predicted, this time they were truly astonished by the scene before them.
Lin Qian had also deduced his speculation.
