Knowledge Changes Fate
"Fellow Daoist Shi, what are we waiting for? Quickly transform into a boat and sail, and cross the river with me!"
Upon hearing Fu Qianqiu's words, Yi Xuan nodded quickly.
Without thinking, he stepped one foot onto the lake.
As Yi Xuan's shoes touched the lake surface, he instantly felt as if something was gently caressing his body.
Immediately afterwards, the lake water beneath his feet suddenly boiled, and then a sampan gradually took shape beneath Yi Xuan's feet.
Standing atop it, Yi Xuan looked at the sampan below with an excited expression.
But after waiting for a long time, the sampan didn't change at all.
This made Fu Qianqiu was on the cruise ship, extremely anxious.
Everyone started out on the lake in a small sampan, which then grew larger and more elaborate, eventually becoming boats that sailed on the lake.
But after waiting for a long time, Yi Xuan's sampan did not grow bigger.
Finally, just as the two were getting impatient, a mast suddenly rose up on the small sampan, with a tattered rag hanging from it.
Is this really my ship's sail?
Yi Xuan could understand why the boat was unusable, given his situation Rootless Person.
But the sails before me were truly an insult; how could my luck seem to be inferior to my Root Bone?
Fu Qianqiu naturally took full view of Yi Xuan's situation.
Unable to transform a boat into a sail, even Fu Qianqiu wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.
With Yi Xuan's small, dilapidated boat, not to mention the lake in front of him, he might not even be able to safely cross any small river.
Yi Xuan looked at the small boat at his feet and finally accepted reality. He turned around and stepped back onto the shore. At the same time, he released the Black Tortoise, which he had previously put away, and jumped into it.
Fu Qianqiu, on the cruise ship, could only express his regret and said to Yi Xuan, "Fellow Daoist Shi, in that case I must take my leave first. But don't worry, isn't the woman you're looking for the other day? I'll definitely tell her to wait for you here!"
After saying that, Fu Qianqiu steered the boat towards the center of the lake!
But how could Yi Xuan, standing on the shore, be willing to accept this?
Just as Yi Xuan was preparing to release the Firmament and fly straight over there.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose on the lake not far away, stirring up huge waves.
Several small boats, which did not appear to be very big, were capsized in the lake.
Fortunately, those cultivators reacted quickly and took to the air, managing to stabilize themselves in mid-air with great difficulty.
From their expressions, Yi Xuan could tell that the others were still terrified.
But just then, the whispers from before reappeared:
"Escape the Lake of Fate! Return to the Yellow Springs!"
Then, several bolts of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, and the people were blasted into ashes before they even had a chance to react.
Upon seeing this, Yi Xuan's face instantly darkened.
According to No. 01's calculations, the power of those thunderbolts was not much less than the Heavenly Tribulation Chu Longcheng experienced during his Tribulation Transcendence.
Even though Yi Xuan's Black Tortoise and Firmament ships have been upgraded and their defenses have been greatly enhanced, they still can't withstand such an attack!
So, Yi Xuan looked at the lake in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Root Bone is the boat; destiny is the sail!
Escaping the Lake of Fate! Fate returns to the Yellow Springs!
It seems that to reach the Tomb of the Sea God, one must cross this lake!
Yi Xuan had seen what happened to the others, which meant they couldn't leave the lake at any time.
It's either a desperate struggle to cross the lake or a descent to the bottom; once the boat sets sail, there's no turning back.
Furthermore, cultivation level and realm are useless here.
It's all about who has the stronger Root Bone and who has the better luck!
In short, it all comes down to who has the best luck!
Thinking of this, a piece of inspirational advice from his past life suddenly popped into Yi Xuan's mind!
Knowledge changes destiny!
I don't know if it will work, but it's better than standing here waiting, right?
With a wave of his hand, Yi Xuan summoned a destroyer over a hundred meters long that suddenly appeared above the lake.
Meanwhile, Yi Xuan's Black Tortoise also leaped onto the deck of the destroyer.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no reaction from the lake water.
Yi Xuan finally felt relieved and ordered No. 01 to accelerate at full speed.
As the destroyer's engines roared to life, the entire ship sped off like a drawn sword, cutting through the waves and heading directly towards the main force.
At the same time, Yi Xuan was also very fortunate that this lake was different from normal lakes, otherwise, a destroyer the size of this would have a hard time floating in an ordinary lake!
Don't be fooled by the impressive and imposing ships those people conjured up before, with their dazzling array of dragon boats and multi-storied ships.
But no matter what, their ships were still products of the medieval era; how could they compare to Yi Xuan's modern warships?
In terms of light propulsion, destroyers can easily dominate the entire battlefield.
Moreover, this destroyer is nuclear-powered; no matter what kind of sails it has, they'll all have to take a backseat.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Yi Xuan saw the backs of the main group.
The destroyer cut through the lake, pushing the water to both sides, while the huge roar of the warship attracted the attention of everyone in front.
The moment they saw the destroyer, their eyes were glued to it!
What's going on?
Is that steel monster in front of us really a ship?
Why does this thing look so big, and why is it so fast?
And another thing, how come this thing doesn't even have sails, yet it can still sail normally?
Amidst the astonished gazes of those onlookers, Yi Xuan's destroyer made no attempt to stop and sailed straight through.
Seeing the giant beast charging towards them, the ships on both sides scrambled to maneuver their vessels to avoid it, fearing that Yi Xuan would capsize them!
Even so, several small boats were still rocked wildly by the giant waves created by the destroyer, and their owners had to exert tremendous effort to keep them steady!
Thus, amidst these surprised and envious gazes, Yi Xuan forged ahead and directly entered the ranks of the first tier.
Upon seeing Yi Xuan's destroyers, even those giant dragon ships had to choose to keep their distance!
The destroyer was simply too terrifying to behold while it was Yi Xuan; everyone was worried that this steel behemoth might suddenly go berserk, so it was best to keep a respectful distance.
As the destroyer drew closer to the center of the lake, Yi Xuan noticed that the lake's condition was changing, becoming increasingly turbulent.
This situation reached its peak after Yi Xuan saw Junior Sister Mu and Fu Qianqiu's boat.
The entire lake seemed to be going berserk, constantly churning up huge waves that crashed against the boats in the lake.
Meanwhile, thunderclaps continued to fall from the sky.
Some unlucky guys didn't have time to dodge the lightning strikes, and the ships beneath their feet were instantly destroyed!
While smaller boats could nimbly dodge lightning strikes, they ultimately met a tragic end, losing both their boats and crew, when faced with the giant waves of the lake.
Before long, only Junior Sister Mu and Fu Qianqiu remained in front of Yi Xuan!
