To uncover the true purpose behind the Sea Monster Race's massive beast tide, Liu Changxu prepared to patrol the seas himself shortly after returning to Golden Ring Island.
When his wife Xiao Zier, the other women, and his daughters Liu Fuzhen and Liu Futian learned of his plans, they all insisted on accompanying him. Liu Changxu could only leave his son Liu Fuba and the others to guard Golden Ring Island while he summoned the Ruyi Sky-Patrolling Battleship to survey the surrounding waters.
The moment Liu Changxu summoned the Ruyi Sky-Patrolling Battleship, it expanded rapidly, becoming a colossal black vessel dozens of li long in the blink of an eye. Its hull looked as though it had been carved from black jade, with a faint dark sheen flowing across its surface. Runes engraved along both sides flickered in and out of sight amid the shifting light, radiating a steady, overwhelming pressure. Like a savage beast from the primordial wilderness, it harbored power that made the heart tremble.
Once Liu Changxu, Xiao Zier, the other women, and his two daughters had taken their places on deck, the enormous vessel shuddered. With a piercing whistle that tore through the air, it shot skyward, instantly breaking through the clouds and streaking across the heavens as a beam of black light toward the distant seas.
On deck, the ship's protective barrier kept the sea wind outside, leaving only a steady flow of spirit energy. His two daughters leaned eagerly against the railing, watching the islands and sea rapidly shrink below them. They pointed excitedly at demon birds sweeping across the horizon, chatting and laughing.
Xiao Zier and the other women gathered beside Liu Changxu, their divine sense sweeping the surrounding skies from time to time as they watched for any unusual movements.
