"Understood!"
"Don't worry."
The others all nodded solemnly.
"For such a large-scale mission, I should be able to increase my soul power faster.
I don't expect to break through a hundred million in one go, but the more soul power I have, the more it will help me.
The only thing I'm worried about is whether I'll encounter some unknown danger this time. "
Bai Ziyue pondered silently. He couldn't help but have a thought. His hands moved and formed a seal. He immediately used the Minor Evasion Technique that he had deduced before.
In an instant, a misty green light flashed and fell on his body.
Suddenly, a special and obscure feeling flashed in his heart, causing his mind to sway slightly.
"There seems to be a certain amount of danger, but the feeling is not that strong."
Ziyue frowned inwardly, still unable to figure it out.
Although the Lesser Evasion Technique could play a certain role, for a God Realm expert like him, its effect was limited and his perception was somewhat blurry.
Seeing this, he could only suppress the worry in his heart and wait patiently with the others.
After a short while, a total of fifty people had gathered.
Among them, a rather imposing cultivator who seemed to be the leader suddenly waved his hand.
Immediately, a warship of various sizes appeared in the void and quickly floated in the void.
"This is the Giant Axe Spiritual Master's Giant Axe Warship. Not only is its defense unparalleled, but its speed is also very fast. It is said that at its fastest speed, it is comparable to the speed of a Gold Core expert.
When the Giant Axe Spiritual Master promoted his God Token to Nine Stars, he exchanged it from the treasury of the Nine Stars Dao Palace. It is worth thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones. "
Spiritual Master Pei hurriedly explained when he saw the surprise in Ziyue's eyes.
"So expensive."
Ziyue had been somewhat tempted, but the price made him frown.
Thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones was equivalent to three hundred million low-grade spirit stones.
With his current wealth, he could not afford it.
It was also worth mentioning that even if he wanted to buy it, he could not buy it now.
This was because one needed at least a Nine Star God Token to have the qualifications and authority to purchase items from the Nine Star Dao Palace's treasury. Currently, he only had a Four Star God Token. At most, he could purchase high-grade magic treasures.
If he had the help of the Qing Xu Sect, he would not have to worry about this. With his status, no one would say anything if he asked the Weapon Integration Hall to customize a battleship, and the price would be cheaper.
However, at the moment, he naturally wouldn't consider such a thing.
"Everyone, board the ship. We still have half a month to travel."
Daoist Master Huge Axe shouts loudly and takes the lead to board the warship.
Then came the Nine-star Deity Realm Evil Moon Fairy, Immortal Great Sun, Immortal Bear Mountain, Immortal Demon Slayer …
Ziyue followed closely behind the others and flew onto the warship.
The True Battleship didn't look big from the outside, but it was actually very spacious inside.
Inside the warship, there were many rooms that looked like cultivation rooms.
However, it was clear that there were relatively few such rooms. Only those experts of the Deity Realm above the Seven Star Deity Realm could stay in them. Practitioners like him, who held the Four Star Deity Token, could only stay in the cabin of the warship and find a place to sit down cross-legged.
"Rumble!"
The formation rose, and the warship rushed out of Chuan Yun City. With a swish, it disappeared on the spot and sailed toward the southeast.
The Huge Axe Warship moved forward at a high speed, but it was quite stable. Even the loud noise caused by the warship breaking through the sound barrier was blocked by the formation.
Because they knew that there was still half a month to travel, everyone seemed quite relaxed.
Some people who liked wine directly took out spiritual wine and drank it. Some practitioners who were good at making talismans cast a Soundproof Talisman and began to make talismans directly.
In order to survive in the difficult world of Immortal Spells, each of the practitioners of Immortal Spells had mastered certain skills. Their skills might not be very brilliant, but they were very practical.
Of course, there were also some people who sat and talked about cultivation methods and the use of magic. There were also some people who chatted and talked about some interesting stories about various sects and experts.
Ziyue watched and listened. Then he silently closed his eyes, but he didn't immerse himself in cultivation.
Because the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was thin during the journey, it was not suitable for cultivation.
As for the three Great Magic Skills, although he also wanted to practice and get started as soon as possible.
It was naturally very inconvenient for him to do so in the warship.
Therefore, he once again placed his attention on the Dao Runes.
After such a long time of comprehension, the number of Dao Runes he had mastered had increased from two to three at the beginning to thirty to forty.
Moreover, as his mastery of Dao Runes increased and his strength increased, the speed of his comprehension of new Dao Runes also increased.
He believed that it wouldn't take long for him to comprehend all one hundred and five Great Dao Runes.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Ziyue suddenly opened his eyes.
"Daoist Darknorth, Enlightened Being Pan Shan has something to say. He told me to summon you to his secret cultivation room."
It was Enlightened Being Pei who had approached and said.
"Alright!"
Ziyue nodded, stopped cultivating, and followed Enlightened Being Pei into the interior of the warship.
After inspecting the interior of the warship, he found that it was much more luxurious than the outside. Almost every corner was exquisite, and there were spirit pearls that naturally gathered light, emitting a gentle light that illuminated the interior.
Stepping into Enlightened Being Pan Shan's secret cultivation room, it was as spacious as a courtyard. There was even a pill refining room.
A unique and comforting incense fragrance faintly wafted through the air.
It was as different as heaven and earth compared to the outside.
"You're all here."
Enlightened Being Pan Shan looked at Ziyue and the others, then opened the soundproof array in the secret cultivation room. "I've been beating around the bush with a few Seven Star Deities for the past few days. Now that we're all on the warship, Enlightened Being Huge Axe and the others didn't want to hide too much, so they finally revealed the mission."
"What is it?"
Enlightened Being Pei hurriedly asked.
"Don't tell me they want us to attack some sect?"
Enlightened Being Purple Dou had been muttering to himself all this time.
"Of course not. In the entire Nine Star Dao Palace, there are many experts from sects like you and me.
The various sects are very wary of it, and the Four Great Immortal Sects will never allow a power that can threaten them to appear.
If the Nine Star Dao Palace dares to issue a mission to exterminate a sect, it will definitely cause a backlash from the various sects. They will immediately join forces to attack the Nine Star Dao Palace. "
Enlightened Being Pei hurriedly retorted.
"The Nine Star Dao Palace is extremely powerful, and its forces are spread throughout the Firmament Territory. It's said that they even have branches overseas.
I estimate that there are many Primordial Spirit Realm experts, so they shouldn't be too wary of the Four Great Immortal Sects of the Cloud Piercing Mountain Range, right? "
Enlightened Being Purple Dou argued disapprovingly.
"Then do you think that super sects like the Celestialspirit Sect and the Creation Sect will allow the Nine Star Dao Palace to grow and threaten them?"
Enlightened Being Pei retorted.
"Alright, you can discuss this in private. Let me finish."
Enlightened Being Pan Shan glared at the two, then hurriedly said, "From Enlightened Being Huge Axe, our mission this time is a demon slaying mission.
The target of the mission is the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch. "
"Demon Monarch?
A Golden Core Realm Demon Monarch? "
Enlightened Being Dugu, who had been silent all this time, was shocked.
The others also looked shocked.
A Golden Core Realm expert was not easy to deal with.
Even if they had three Nine-star Deities on this trip, it would still be difficult to deal with him.
"Is it the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch who died a thousand years ago?"
Enlightened Being Treasure Snatcher suddenly asked.
A thousand years ago?
Had he fallen?
Enlightened Being Dugu's mind suddenly relaxed, and he vaguely felt that he had heard of this name before.
"That's right. This time, it's said that someone discovered the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch's tomb."
Enlightened Being Pan Shi nodded and continued, "The Soul-controlling Demon Monarch back then could be said to have caused countless cultivators to tremble in fear.
This was especially true for his ability to control souls. How many geniuses and veteran experts of the various sects had no choice but to become his prisoners and be ordered around by him?
Later on, if it weren't for the two Sect Masters of the Four Major Immortal Sects who severely injured him, it would have caused a huge catastrophe.
However, after the two Sect Masters took action, it took nearly a hundred years for the news to spread that the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch had died.
It was only then that the cultivators in the entire Cloud Piercing Mountain Range heaved a sigh of relief. One could imagine the impact the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch had caused back then.
In addition, along with the news of his death, the news that the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch had built a huge tomb for himself spread out.
The Soul-controlling Demon Monarch had buried his Natal Magic Treasure, the Soul-controlling Flag, and all the loot he had looted over the past hundreds of years in his tomb.
Our mission is to break into the tomb and assist Enlightened Being Huge Axe and the others to seize his Natal Magic Treasure, the Soul-controlling Flag.
This Soul-controlling Flag is the proof of our mission. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They could not help but ask, "What kind of danger is in the tomb?"
"Tell me, if you knew you were going to die and spent nearly a hundred years building a tomb for yourself, would you let other experts break in so easily?"
Enlightened Being Pan Shi narrowed his eyes and said.
"If it were me, I'd definitely use all kinds of methods to kill all the cultivators who break in."
Enlightened Being Pei's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly said.
"Therefore, it's also very dangerous.
There will definitely be experts who will fall.
However, danger and opportunity often coexist.
Back then, the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch had destroyed a sect with a Golden Core Enlightened Being in charge and took the sect's thousands of years of foundation.
Although there might not be a lot of treasures, there would definitely be a lot of them.
There might even be peerless spiritual items that can help peak God Realm experts to break through to the Golden Core Realm … "
Enlightened Being Pan Shan looked at everyone and continued, "Aren't you tempted by these treasures?"
