One and a half months later, the battleship arrived as scheduled.
The battleship was larger than the one at the Scorching Island and there were more people on board.
Due to the chaotic battle at the central region, it would be difficult to travel from the north to the south. Naturally, they could not go on their own. It would be safer to take the battleship.
The battleship of the Palace of Smoke was silver in color as if it was made of mercury. It was magnificent, like a silver beast.
There were at least ten thousand people on the battleship. The battleship was divided into two floors. Lu Li, as an honored guest, was on the second floor where he had his own cabin.
Many people on the ground floor shared a cabin. The environment was poor as well.
Lu Li and the five boarded the battleship. The five asked for a large cabin with several rooms. They never came out after they went in.
Lu Li didn't cultivate right away. Instead, he stood on the deck for half a day, trying to see the local conditions and customs of the Flying Fire Continent.
The name Flying Fire Continent was not a random one. Just like the Silver Flame Sea, the name had a history.
There would be flames falling from the sky at the Flying Fire Continent. Among the flames, there would be meteorites, which were good materials for forging artifacts. Good meteorites could be used to make Sovereign Weapons.
Lu Li stood on the deck, trying to see if there would be any flames falling.
The battleship flew on silently. After half a day, the sky to the west lit up. Following that, they felt a surge of heat.
High up in the sky, three streaks of flames whooshed down and disappeared into the mountains to the west.
"Flying Fire is descending!"
Many people on the battleship were excited. The battleship slowed down a bit. Hundreds of people on the battleship dashed out toward where the flames were falling.
"This is similar to the Silver Flame Volcano!"
Lu Li nodded. These two places were a gift from the heavens. The Silver Flame Volcano could erupt something good and the Flying Fire Continent could be a free lunch.
If an ordinary martial artist obtained a piece of Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron and sold it, he would become a rich man in an instant.
If he stayed in a small place for the rest of his life, he would not have to worry about food or clothing.
If he embarked on the path of martial arts, he could buy many pellets and materials to go further.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
A moment later, there was an explosion and a scream. It was unknown whether it was the people nearby who were fighting, or the people who had disembarked from the warship who were fighting over the treasures.
In any case, the Flying Smoke Palace did not care. They would be responsible for the safety of the warship. Once one left the warship, they would not care even if one died near the warship.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
After waiting for a while, a group of people flew back from afar. However, only 200 of the 300 or so people returned. A commander from the Flying Smoke Palace shouted, and another 40 or so people flew back.
"Buzz ~"
The warship pierced through the sky once again. There were a few dozen people missing, but no one cared.
The people from the Flying Smoke Palace did not even bother to investigate. They had disembarked voluntarily. Even if they died, they would have died in vain.
The warship flew steadily. Along the way, there were many strange mountains and rivers, great swamps and huge rivers. Occasionally, they could see a large lake and an endless forest.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
After flying for more than a day, a few more fireballs fell from the distance and smashed into the river. Many people immediately flew out and the battleship slowed down again.
"An incense's time. If you don't return, we'll be leaving!"
One of the commanders shouted, and a few hundred people immediately flew out from the warship.
For many of them, the cost of riding the warship was exorbitant. If they could get one or two pieces of meteoric iron, it would be some compensation.
If they could get some super meteoric iron, they could make a fortune.
Lu Li had been standing on the deck without moving. For him, treasures were not important anymore.
He still had three ancient treasures in his Heaven Separation Bead, but he could not use them.
He had enough Holy Weapon pieces. What was the point of fighting for the meteoric iron?
Lu Li had no other thoughts. He just wanted to arrive at the Dragon Rebel Valley safely, complete the task given by the Asmodian, and see Lu Ling. Nothing else mattered to him.
After standing for half a day, Lu Li felt bored. He went back to his cabin and asked Blood Fairy to set up Divine Patterns and Inhibition Formations. He was ready to cultivate.
"Right!"
Lu Li asked, "Blood Fairy, didn't you say that you have made great progress in the study of ancient Divine Patterns?
How's the refining of that ancient painting going? "
Lu Li had been cultivating at the Blazing Island for 11 years. Blood Fairy had been studying ancient Divine Patterns all the time.
She was told that she had made great progress last time. Lu Li did not pay more attention. Anyway, Blood Fairy would tell him as soon as she was done.
"Soon!"
Blood Fairy transmitted excitedly, "The ancient painting is about to be refined, and the bugle horn is about to be refined as well. Only the ring is out of my reach. Perhaps my comprehension of the Primordial Divine Inscriptions is still insufficient."
"Okay!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. That horn was powerful. An ancient artifact was powerful. Even with such a strong dragon soul, Lu Li could not stand it.
What kind of powerful warriors could the horn affect when it was fully activated?
Lu Li asked no more questions. He took out the elixirs and began to consume them. He had bought over a thousand elixirs at the Palace of Smoky and the ones he got from the Interspatial Rings of the old demons. Now, he had enough elixirs for two to three years.
However, as he consumed more and more elixirs, he began to develop resistance. The effects of the elixirs were not as good as before.
That was to be expected. No wonder Emperor Zi had to go to some dangerous places to refine his body. The best elixirs were hard to come by. There were not so many of them.
Time flew by, and soon, three months had passed.
The battleship entered the Lake Territory. This was a battlefield. The lords and family masters here were affiliated with the Palace of Clouds, one of the four forces.
Powerful warriors of the Palace of Smoky were on alert. A war could break out at any time. The battleship could be hit, and many of the tens of thousands of people here could be killed. This would affect the reputation of the Palace of Smoky.
The battleship had a lord. The fifth tribulation was not enough. At the moment, the sixth tribulation warrior had come out of his room and sat on the deck at the top of the battlefield.
He released his qi and energy, which could intimidate those who were attacking the battleship.
Many people on the battleship were nervous. Before they boarded, the Palace of Smoky had said that their safety could not be guaranteed and they could only try their best.
Therefore, if something were to go wrong, the Palace of Smoky would at most lose its reputation. There would be no compensation.
Of course, if they died, there would be no compensation …
"Boom, boom, boom!"
After flying for several days, they heard some explosions in the wild. Two groups of warriors were fighting. There were hundreds on each side.
The people on the battleship were on edge. But when they found out that there were only two fifth tribulation warriors, they were relieved.
"Swish ~"
A ray of sword light cut across the sky. The shockwave came toward the battleship. A fifth tribulation warrior flew out at once and generated a white shield to protect himself.
"We are the battleship of the Palace of Smoky. Who dares to attack us?
Courting death? "
The fifth tribulation warrior shouted. The attacks stopped. Then, the warriors on both sides flew away in the shape of birds and beasts.
The Palace of Smoky was one of the 27 forces. Clearly, the two groups were not from the major forces. They dared not to provoke them.
"Phew, phew ~"
