Divine Wind Island Vessels
| Vessel | Construction / Size | Features and Use |
|---|---|---|
| Secondhand long-voyage vessel | Pitch-black; slightly over ten zhang long | Bought from a passing merchant convoy for 40,000 Spirit Stones. A fist-sized Water-Repelling Pearl is mounted at its bow; it serves as Divine Wind’s main long-distance vessel 76. |
| Shipwreck exploration boat | Small Spirit Boat | Carries Chen Ming, Wan Yao’er, and Zhao Tie Zhu eighty li west in no more than an incense stick’s burning time 79. |
| Setting Sun Island assault transport | Modified, medium-sized vessel | Carries Chen Ming, Wan Yao’er, Zhao Tie Zhu, Liu Qingqing, and fifteen late Foundation Establishment cultivators. Approaches low over the sea at night to reduce detection 86. |
| Star Abyss expedition fleet | Ten modified medium-sized vessels | Equipped with offensive formations and defensive shields, with holds stocked with provisions. Transports one hundred Divine Wind disciples to the secret realm 92. |
| Shipping-route expedition boat | Approximately ten zhang long; ironwood hull | Feng Wuying spends two months refitting it. Dense defensive runes, separate cabins, and storage spaces support twenty people on a long voyage 101. |
| Ironwood Spirit Boat | Small hull made primarily from iron essence, reinforced with hundred-year-old ironwood | Built by Feng Wuying for the cave-abode expedition. Concealment and acceleration formations make it nearly 50% faster than an ordinary Spirit Boat, with little jolting at high speed 114. |

Other Notable Vessels
| User / Faction | Distinguishing Features | Documented Use |
|---|---|---|
| Tianxing City | Large flagship with three decks of cabins and star-patterned hull | Leads the four-faction shipping-route expedition; its Star Lamp provides a reference point in dense fog 103 104. |
| Jade Wave Island | Defensive Array capable of producing seven or eight blue barriers | Shen Qinghe pushes its defenses to their limit, but the Dark-Golden Flood Dragon shatters them and breaks the boat in two 106. |
| Wan Yao’er | Small, nimble azure vessel | Used during her diplomatic mission to Jade Wave Island and subsequent rendezvous with Chen Ming 108 109. |
| Blood Hawk | Unflagged, pitch-black vessel nearly twice the size of the Vanguard Team’s boat; three long rams on either side | Intercepts Chen Ming’s returning party. A formation blocks spiritual probes into its occupants 120. |
| Unidentified search party | Small black vessel with a sleek hull and concealment runes | Supports black-clad cultivators searching the seabed at Shattered Star Reef; remains almost invisible in darkness without lamps 122. |
| Liu Chong | Black vessel hidden beneath a cloaking formation | Powered by a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone inserted into its power core during his attempted escape from Jade Wave Island 130. |
| Star Palace | Sleek silver-white hull engraved with intricate star patterns; star-emblem flag | Carries Ling Feng’s delegation to Divine Wind Island 137 138. |
| Mu Bai | Pitch-black modified vessel approximately thirty feet long and ten feet wide | Designed for high-speed travel and covert operations; waits offshore before Mu Bai delivers an invitation to Chen Ming 140 141. |
Abilities and Functions
Propulsion and Flight
- Spiritual propulsion: Operators channel spiritual power into the vessel or control its propulsion formation. Spirit Boats can travel across the sea and rise into the air 90 97 114.
- Spirit Stone power: Liu Chong activates his boat by fitting a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone into its power core 130.
- Acceleration: Specialized formations provide high speed and short bursts for escape. During the flood-dragon pursuit, Divine Wind Island’s crew redirects spare spiritual power from defense into speed 106 114.
- Long-distance travel: Chen Ming estimates that his early boat would require nearly ten days of continuous travel to cover the roughly thirty-thousand-li route from Black Reef Island to the Heavenly Star Islands 56.
Defensive Formations
- Hull protection: Defensive runes and arrays generate barriers around the vessel; some boats can deploy multiple layers 101 106.
- Sea-beast resistance: Divine Wind Island’s shipping-route vessel holds against Iron-Spined Sharks, although the encounter leaves wear on the Defensive Arrays 103.
- Direct-impact resistance: The Vanguard boat’s pale-blue barrier withstands Butcher’s first axe strike, but its glow dims and the cultivators sustaining it suffer the impact 120.
- Limits: Armor-piercing rune arrows penetrate Divine Wind Island’s warship barriers. A late Nascent Soul flood dragon tears through Jade Wave Island’s layered defenses with a single claw strike 106 144.
Concealment and Reconnaissance
- Visual concealment: Dark paint and concealment runes help specialized craft blend into the night and surrounding sea 119 122.
- Aura suppression: An activated concealment formation makes Chen Ming’s boat resemble drifting wood from a distance 121.
- Unattended concealment: The Vanguard boat remains intact and undiscovered at the reef field while its concealment formation continues operating 120.
- External concealment: Chen Ming’s Aura-Concealing Powder envelops an entire boat and suppresses the occupants’ auras, allowing Divine Wind Island’s vessel to evade the Dark-Golden Flood Dragon 106.
- Probe obstruction: Blood Hawk’s vessel carries a formation that prevents Chen Ming from clearly examining its passengers with spiritual sense 120.
Naval Combat
- Offensive formations: Divine Wind Island’s modified expedition boats carry built-in offensive formations 92.
- Deck weapons: Divine Wind Island disciples use Spirit Ballistas and magical artifacts to return fire during the Luo Heaven Gate ambush 144.
- Fleet formations: Twelve Spirit Boats simultaneously activate the Heaven-Locking Dragon-Trapping Formation, enclosing Luo Qingxuan and his two companions within a curtain of light 145.
- Heavy artillery: Tianxing City fields more than thirty large Spirit Boats carrying Spirit Cannons. Each cannon volley has power equivalent to a late Golden Core cultivator’s full-force strike 147.
Accommodation and Portability
- Onboard cultivation: Cabins and meditation chambers allow passengers to cultivate during a voyage; Wan Yao’er practices the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Grand Method aboard the returning Star Abyss fleet 97.
- Cargo capacity: Holds and storage spaces carry expedition provisions, supplies, and recovered resources 92 97 101.
- Portable storage: Feng Wuying makes a dedicated Storage Bag large enough to hold a small or medium-sized Spirit Boat. Chen Ming stores the Ironwood Spirit Boat inside it after landing at the cave-abode island 115.
Operational Limitations
- Formation traps: Chen Ming’s early vessel cannot overcome the suction of an artificial whirlpool even after he activates its propulsion formation; the boat is swallowed 56.
- Dense fog: The shipping-route fleet travels at nearly half its usual speed when visibility falls below one hundred feet 104.
- Reef channels: The Vanguard boat cannot pass through tightly interlocking reefs without risking entrapment or destruction. Its passengers leave it behind and switch to individual flying artifacts 119.
- Seaweed: Thick vegetation in Black Water Bay forces the high-speed Ironwood Spirit Boat to slow down despite its acceleration formation 114.
- Pursuit: Maximum speed does not guarantee escape. The Dark-Golden Flood Dragon catches fleeing vessels, and the Ghost Fog overtakes Chen Ming’s boat within little more than a dozen breaths 106 150.

| Cave-abode expedition | The specially built Ironwood Spirit Boat carries Chen Ming, Wan Yao’er, and Zhao Tie Zhu through Black Water Bay to Star Abyss True Immortal’s cave abode, then returns them safely in less than two days 114 115 116. |
| Vanguard interception | Blood Hawk’s black boat blocks the returning reconnaissance team. After the confrontation, Chen Ming concludes that their movements have been exposed and the sea route cannot safely be reused until Blood Hawk is investigated 120. |
