Life on the Primordial Sea was peaceful and monotonous, and before they knew it, a year had quietly passed.
On this day, a vast and boundless Qi of Eternity suddenly erupted from within the warship, sweeping across the entire cabin. As the Daoist aura flowed, Hun Qianling finally broke through to the Eternal Dao Master Realm.
The door to the cultivation room slowly opened, and Hun Qianling walked out gracefully. Her long silver dress fluttered slightly in the wind, and her aura was refined and steady.
She was originally Peak Eternal Dao Master, and this time she returned to cultivate again, simply to regain her former power. The breakthrough process was exceptionally smooth, without any obstacles.
Han Xuanji also stepped out of the cultivation room, a smile flashing in his eyes. He quickly walked forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"Congratulations, Fellow Qianling, on successfully breaking through to the Eternal Dao Master Realm."
Hun Qianling smiled faintly and nodded slightly in return.
"Many thanks to Fellow Xuanji. If it weren't for your constant protection and the few Hongmeng Flying Fish you gave me to replenish my Qi of Eternity, I might not have been able to break through so quickly."
You've had a tough year.
"You're too kind. It's only right that we look out for each other."
Han Xuanji waved her hand, her tone relaxed.
"Besides, I've had a pretty good year hunting. I've honed my combat skills and accumulated a lot of cultivation resources, so it wasn't exactly hard work."
The two walked over to the control panel, sat down, and started chatting.
Looking at the flight path on the control center screen, Hun Qianling said softly:
"Now that I have broken through, I can take turns with my fellow Daoists to guard the area and hunt together."
By the way, at the current sailing speed, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should take about seventy years.
Seventy years?
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.
This speed is already quite fast, mainly because they weren't far from the Eternal Continent to begin with.
The area where Chaos is located is designated as a safe zone by the Eternal Continent, which roughly means that there is not much risk in this area under normal circumstances, and powerful beings at the level of Eternal True God can basically move freely.
Hun Qianling was incredibly unlucky in her previous life, happen to witness this low-probability event, which is equivalent to being in a plane crash.
"That's good. With these decades, we can accumulate more resources, stabilize our cultivation, and have more power to protect ourselves after arriving on the Eternal Continent."
After chatting for a while, Han Xuanji got up and walked towards his cultivation room.
Within the System Space, dozens of Hongmeng Flying Fish are now neatly arranged. They were all captured by him over the past year, and each one contains pure Qi of Eternity, making them excellent cultivation resources.
Now that he no longer has the system's help, he cannot afford to be lazy in the slightest. Only by being down-to-earth can he continuously improve his strength.
Time continued to flow, and the golden waves of the Primordial Sea surged day after day. The Thousand Spirits warship sailed steadily, avoiding countless dangers.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty-nine years have passed. Han Xuanji has unknowingly spent more than thirty years on this Primordial Sea.
Over the past thirty years, he and Hun Qianling have taken turns guarding the warship and going out hunting, their cooperation has become increasingly tacit. During this time, they have not encountered any attacks from the Spirit of Hongmeng, and they have also worked together to hunt down other relatively powerful Hongmeng Variant, all of which have been easily resolved by the two of them.
Han Xuanji's hunting skills became increasingly proficient, no longer limited to hunting Hongmeng Flying Fish, but also successfully capturing other types of Hongmeng Variant.
For example, there is the Hongmeng Ink-Scale Fish, which is entirely black and has bony spurs on its back. Although it is smaller than the Hongmeng Flying Fish, it is extremely fast. Its bony spurs can be used to forge weapons, making it even more valuable.
There is also the Hongmeng Fire Carp, which resembles a large koi carp and is entirely crimson. Its flesh contains a warm, Qi of Eternity, which is very beneficial for tempering the body.
However, without the Water of Eternity, Han Xuanji's cultivation progressed more and more slowly. After thirty years of arduous cultivation, he remained at the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer, unable to break through the shackles and reach the third level.
On the contrary, he made a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Eternal Dao Principle, successfully condensing the third Eternal Dao Principle, which is also the extremely rare Eternal Spacetime Dao Principle.
The Fate Dao Principle primarily assists in deduction, the Sword Dao Principle primarily focuses on attack and slaughter, and the Spacetime Dao Principle primarily focuses on travel and confinement. These three Dao Principles complement and reinforce each other.
If this matter were to spread, it would surely terrify countless cultivators on the Eternal Continent —for one must know that destiny and time and space are both extremely profound principles, and ordinary cultivators who can condense even one of them are already considered exceptionally gifted.
Even the most outstanding talents from powerful forces usually only cultivate these two great paths at the very end.
Han Xuanji do this not only because of his profound knowledge, but also because of his extraordinary comprehension.
In fact, the top geniuses of the Chaos are no less talented than those of the Eternal Continent. At least in terms of comprehension, they are not inferior at all. If the Dao Ancestor can safely reach the Eternal Continent, he will surely make a name for himself.
On this day, Han Xuanji finished his training and walked out of the training room. Looking at the boundless Hongmeng Sea, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and whispered softly:
"But after all this time, I haven't run into anyone else. I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck."
Just as Han Xuanji was thinking this, the warship suddenly emitted a sharp alarm, and the control panel screen instantly turned red, flashing warning messages continuously:
"Warning! Approaching high-level Hongmeng Variant detected! Warning! Eternal True God Realm aura detected!"
Han Xuanji's expression suddenly hardened, and he immediately walked quickly to the control panel. Hun Qianling also rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and her face instantly turned serious when she saw the image displayed on the screen.
On the screen, an enormous Primordial Hongmeng Variant appeared in the distant sea. Its body was as majestic as an ancient divine mountain, covered with dark blue scales, its belly glowing with a pale purple light, its dorsal fin towering like a peak, and its tail fin as wide as a sail. With just a slow movement, it stirred up towering waves, and its body exuded a terrifying pressure of the Eternal True God Realm, causing the entire warship to tremble slightly.
"It's the Hongmeng Giant Kun!"
Hun Qianling stared at the screen and explained in a serious tone,
"This is a top-tier Variant from the depths of the Primordial Sea, a being at the Eternal True God Realm. It is relatively docile and does not actively provoke living beings, but its size is too enormous, and the air currents around it carry world-destroying power. If we get too close, the warship may be torn apart by the air currents around it. Even if it does not attack intentionally, we will be affected."
Han Xuanji looked at the Hongmeng Giant Kun on the screen, which blotted out the sky, and felt a sense of shock. Although there were many huge creatures in the Chaos, the sense of oppression they brought was completely different.
After all, he could easily grow larger in the Chaos, but he was not used to fighting with that kind of body. In the Primordial Sea, he could at most become a giant several hundred feet tall, which was far from the size of the Hongmeng Giant Kun.
The pressure from the Eternal True God Realm made him feel a significant sense of oppression.
"It didn't notice us?"
Han Xuanji asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the movements of the Hongmeng Giant Kun.
Hun Qianling nodded slightly, her tone softening:
"Hmm, its perception isn't strong, and our warships have the ability to conceal their presence."
Moreover, in its eyes, our warship is like an ant under its feet, utterly insignificant.
However, we cannot afford to take any chances; we must immediately detour and get away from it as quickly as possible, otherwise, if we are affected, the consequences will be unimaginable.
As Hun Qianling spoke, she quickly manipulated the control panel, adjusting the warship's course and carefully avoiding the range of the Hongmeng Giant Kun. Han Xuanji, on the other hand, kept a close eye on the screen, remaining vigilant at all times for the every move of this Primordial Hongmeng Variant at the Eternal True God Realm, daring not to slacken in the slightest.
Han Xuanji noticed that something seemed off about this Hongmeng Giant Kun.
