Waiting for the Ship

At this moment, Jing Qian had four White Fang Destiny Essences on him!

Considering his true age and the fact that he had just been promoted to Determining Destiny less than seven days ago, this was already incredibly fast.

However, even with the extraordinary power of the Sumeru Destiny Constitution, which allowed him to enter dimensions and achieve void flight, it was still completely impossible for him to catch up to the flying speed of a Roc.

As his understanding of the Sumeru Destiny Constitution deepened, the amount of magic power required for him to travel in dimensions outside the Void Realm was steadily decreasing.

Four White Fang Destiny Essences were enough for him to travel ten miles in the outside world.

Fortunately, the Roc did not fly far away. Instead, it flapped its wings and hovered three thousand meters in the air, conversing with a human cultivator.

Only then was Jing Qian able to get close before exhausting his Destiny Essence magic power.

This human cultivator was also quite peculiar. He had a pair of metal wings on his back, which helped him maintain flight.

This kind of magical device looked quite technologically advanced!

Its complex structure and exquisite form would be extremely difficult to replicate even in his previous life!

He heard the human cultivator say:

"Room Master Mingji has great magic power. With the military achievements from these two Blue Blood great demons, your Military Affairs Room will have enough to eat for the next ten years!"

Then he heard the Roc speak in human language:

"I consume a lot of lifespan when controlling the Subduing Dragon spiritual machine, so I will return to Hun Zhou City first."

"This giant clam swallowed a Golden Dragon Carp and has a slim chance of promotion. I need to suppress it as soon as possible!"

"In the Hun Zhou territory, no demon is allowed to be promoted to the sixth-grade Purple Eye rank!"

"I will arrange for someone to send the crocodile dragon carcass to the Craftsman Supervisor later for you to handle."

The human cultivator nodded upon hearing this and said:

"The appearance of the Dragon Gate Grass Ball this time has revealed a long-unresolved story."

"A hundred years ago, the navy's Hun Ling Number treasure ship went out to sea on behalf of the Prefect to seek the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp. It disappeared at sea three months after leaving the island, without even sending back a single message."

"The shipmaster Jing Chuan, who was in the Dragon Elephant realm and commanded the ship, along with the soldiers on board, were suspected of improper handling and being lost in a shipwreck, and were therefore heavily criticized and their posthumous pensions were not confirmed."

"Now that the wreckage of the Hun Ling Number has appeared, it is clear that it was harmed by a great demon, and there is no longer any dispute."

"Please inform the Maritime Affairs Room about this matter after returning to the city, and confirm the pensions for the martyrs as soon as possible!"

"Also, the remaining half of the treasure ship, the Yin Ji Wood used, and this seventh-grade Earth Anchor are still of great use. They are enough for my Craftsman Supervisor to refit into multiple eighth-grade and ninth-grade treasure ships. Please also inform the Maritime Affairs Room to arrange for people to come here and pull them back!"

The Roc heard this and did not refuse, but said:

"This is a matter of course, I will arrange it myself!"

Afterward, the human cultivator with wings spoke again:

"Before I came out, the Prefectural Yamen received a distress signal from Crimson Pearl Island. Does Room Master want to go and check?"

Then he heard the Roc say:

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Qi Zhi Shi Island has paid the Maritime Affairs Office, so this matter should be decided by the Maritime Affairs Office itself."

"The Jing and Su families' inheritance is unstable. No Prolonging Life realm cultivators have been born for thirty years. It's only natural for them to face this tribulation!"

"I'll be going now. Be careful on your way."

With that, the great roc spread its wings and soared high into the clouds, speeding towards the north.

Looking back at the human cultivator, he threw a peculiar magical artifact into the sea below his feet.

This artifact plummeted rapidly, heading straight for the half-sunken broken ship.

It expanded upon contact with water, gradually swelling, and in no time, it transformed into a giant lotus leaf.

This lotus leaf connected to the broken ship below and spread its branches above, swaying in the wind, perfectly marking the location of the broken ship.

Afterward, the human cultivator flapped his metal wings and also drifted towards the north.

Although he could also fly in the air, he relied entirely on the peculiar magical artifact on his back. His flying speed was more than ten times slower than that of the great roc.

He would have to wander for dozens of days to return to HunZhou Island.

But what he didn't know was that on the other side of the dimension, an invisible little brat was holding a large iron skewer, gesturing towards his glabella, looking eager to stab him to death with one poke.

The man and the vulture in front of him were both powerful cultivators with profound cultivation and deep backgrounds.

The one who transformed into the Dharma Idol of a great roc was named Ling Mingji. He was the head of the Military Affairs Office in the Hun Zhou Prefecture, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Prolonging Life realm.

In the Hun Zhou territory where the Prefect had mysteriously disappeared, his cultivation after controlling the Subduing Dragon spiritual machine was already a clear leader, serving as the core combat power supporting the Prefecture's status.

The person with wings attached was the commander of the Prefecture's Artisan Bureau, named Wu Liuyuan.

His cultivation was only at the Great Completion of the Dragon Elephant realm and had not yet advanced to the Prolonging Life realm, making his cultivation much lower than Ling Mingji's.

However, he had already become a Hundred Refinements craftsman fifty years ago and was the foremost grand craftsman in the entire Hun Zhou, his status no less than Ling Mingji's.

The two had come due to the disturbance caused by the aura of great demons, and now they were returning with a full harvest.

Within the Void Realm, Jing Qian did not know the identities of the two. He only knew that the few great demons, which seemed extremely terrifying to him, were actually no match for the two at all!

After witnessing the true strength of great cultivators, his motivation for cultivation was once again fully ignited.

The human cultivator with wings attached looked like a fat sheep.

Unfortunately, Jing Qian's strength was too weak. Even with a sneak attack, he couldn't take down the enemy and could only let him leave.

However, from the conversation between these two cultivators, Jing Qian had received extremely crucial information!

This provided decisive guidance for his next actions.

In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into complete silence.

Jing Qian crossed the dimension and returned to the Void Realm. His divine sense leaped into the Destiny Stele Space.

Outside the safe zone, a giant crocodile dragon soul was coiled in the center.

Even the Snow Woman's soul was squeezed to the side!

As for the souls of the remaining two cultivators, Bamboo Pole and Stone Roller, they were squeezed tightly against the safe zone, not daring to move at all.

Within the safe zone, Jing Qian excitedly rubbed his hands together, looking like a hamster that had stored enough food for the winter, his spirits soaring!

Getting a Grade 7 Blue Blood great demon's soul for free was completely beyond his expectations.

He only regretted his thin arms and legs, and his weak strength, unable to move this great demon's soul in the slightest.

However, good things come to those who wait. As long as it was loaded into his Destiny Stele Space, it would eventually become the resources for his advancement!

Jing Qian's desire to improve his own strength became even more urgent!

At this moment, external matters had completely disappeared, and he was no longer disturbed.

Facing these two souls, the tall and thin one and the short and stout one, who had been squeezed out and had no room to struggle, he no longer held back. He directly shot out a thread, wrapping around the neck of the short and stout one.

He had already decided that there was no need to wander on the deserted ocean anymore.

He just needed to wait under this huge lotus leaf for the ship to pick him up!

This period of time was just right for him to free up his hands and completely annihilate these two souls that no longer posed a threat!
