Chapter 1585 – Pus.h.i.+ng
White light flashed as Zhao Hai and Mu Yu appeared in the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Cloud Village was now more lively than before. One could see that there were a lot more cloud houses. However, the position of these new cloud houses weren’t out of place and didn’t affect the spirit gathering formation on the island.
Zhao Hai and Mu Yu were the last ones of the 20 thousand troops sent to the Cloudsea Territory. And they didn’t use the transmission formation to arrive, but they used Zhao Hai’s spatial ability instead.
Tang Jie has been waiting for the two of them to arrive. When he saw the two, he immediately stepped forward and gave them a hug. Then he smiled and said, “Big Brother Mu, Brother Hai, you came. It’s been some time since we’ve met, did you miss me?”
Naturally, Zhao Hai and Mu Yu were glad to see him. Mu Yu laughed and said, “I heard that you’ve done well in these two years. Let’s see if you did. If you did a bad job, see what I’ll do to you.”
Tang Jie laughed and said, “Let’s go visit the Elders first. Then we’ll continue chatting.” After he said that, he led the two to visit the Elders present on the island. The Hundred Treasures Realm attached great importance to the Hidden Cloud Village, so they sent 10 Elders to guard it. But normally, these Elders had nothing to do since Zhao Hai and Mu Yu already set the tracks for the village to follow. Naturally, the Elders didn’t need to do anything.
Zhao Hai’s exchange system was interlinked with the Hundred Treasures Realm. The things that could be exchanged for exist in the Hundred Treasures Realm. Because of this, the realm also made sure to pay attention to it.
Right now, the Hundred Treasures Realm was prepared to popularize this system among their territories. They found that they can get more materials using this system and they could better unify their subordinate realms. This way, these subordinate realms would have a better sense of belonging towards the Hundred Treasures Realm.
However, doing so wasn’t easy. These subordinate realms were currently self-governing. They would certainly be guarded towards a system that exchanges materials for contribution points.
After the group paid respects to the Elders, they went to Tang Jie’s cloud house. Tang Jie’s house was very clean, but there were several cloud wines inside. Tang Jie settled Zhao Hai and Mu Yu before offering them a cup of cloud wine.
When it comes to comfort in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, the people of the Hundred Treasures Realm were surely at the top. They could eat cloud rice, cloud vegetables, and even drink cloud wine. These novelty materials brought some happiness in their lives.
Although cloud rice can be eaten directly and doesn’t need to be boiled. As long as you roast in the fire, they would fluff up like little dumplings. Naturally, you can pour in water and eat it like porridge. Of course they still fall short compared to the bread fruits.
Right now, in Zhao Hai’s s.p.a.ce, various plants have been planted on whitecloud regions. Naturally, there were bread fruit trees planted. These bread fruits were pure white and tasted much better. Most importantly, the beer made from bread fruits was quite mellow.
Although the Hundred Treasures Realm received quite a lot of cloud rice annually, most of them were used to make wine. This was because the people of the Hundred Treasures Realm weren’t accustomed to eating, they were more comfortable with drinking.
After drinking a sip of cloud wine, Tang Jie looked at Zhao Hai and Mu Yu and said, “Big Brother Mu, Brother Hai, when the realm suddenly called you back, what did you do? I tried to ask but n.o.body told me. Even Master scolded me when I talked to him.”
Zhao Hai turned to Mu Yu who also looked back at him. In the end, the two smiled bitterly before Mu Yu looked at Tang Jie and said, “Little Jie, this is something we can’t tell you. It’s not like we don’t want to tell, but we’ve been ordered to keep it a secret. In any case, don’t ask about it any more.”
Tang Jie nodded and no longer asked. He knew that a gag order of the realm was a very serious matter. Digging into it would lead to punishment.
Tang Jie took a sip of his liquor before saying, “I already know that you came this time to get some white clouds back. I will have it prepared by tomorrow.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “This time, we won’t be taking from the Hidden Cloud Village, but another place instead.”
Hearing this, Tang Jie exclaimed, “Another place? Will you trade with another island? That’s no good. We will be exposing ourselves.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, my goal this time is an island off into the Sea of Beasts. It’s the first island I met someone from the Cloudsea Territory in. In the past, I refined some transforming clouds on that island and left a lot of white clouds behind. I can take those white clouds. It would be a waste to keep them there, so I plan to bring it back.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Mu Yu and Tang Jie nodded. Then Mu Yu said, “That is also good. Can you use your s.p.a.ce ability this time? If it’s possible then that would be fantastic. It would be better for us to take less risks.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. I’ll go take a look first and see if there’s enough white clouds to take. If there is, then I can use the transmission formation on the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p to go back.”
Mu Yu nodded. He knew that if he went with Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai would just be spending a lot more spiritual qi. Because of this, he didn’t bother to go with him.
At this time, Tang Jie reminded, “The beasts of the Sea of Beasts have been crazy in recent days. Anyone they spot, they will attack. We’ve lost quite a lot of people recently, so I cancelled any mission to capture cloud beasts.”
Zhao Hai nodded. He already knew about the situation with the Sea of Beasts. The Sea of Beasts was now swarming with cloud beasts, and those beasts were very mad. Although Zhao Hai didn’t know why, he knew that it wasn’t something good.
Also, they cannot head back so soon, otherwise they would rouse suspicion. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn’t planning on entering the Sea of Beasts this early. In any case, Zhao Hai has a large network of surveillance over the Cloudsea Territory. Nothing can escape his notice.
What Zhao Hai was worrying about right now was how to bring the white clouds back to the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield without causing any suspicion. Because of this, he plans to stay in the Hidden Cloud Village for some time and carefully study how to move white clouds without using the s.p.a.ce.
White clouds are tangible and can be moved. However, if they were pulled hard, they would break immediately. Although he could join white clouds together and then use liquid silver as a hook, it was still not enough to move a large amount of white clouds.
Since this plan wouldn’t work, then he can only use other methods. But what method to use? This was what Zhao Hai was worried about.
For a period of time, Zhao Hai hid inside the s.p.a.ce researching. However, the task wasn’t easy. White clouds had weight. Moving a small piece of it wouldn’t be a problem, but if it’s too large it would be troublesome. Even the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p and the Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+p would have their speed heavily affected if packed with white clouds.
Slow speed meant that they were susceptible to attack. Although the people of the Hundred Treasures Realm had adapted to battling on the sea, they were still less skillful compared to cloud beasts. If they were too slow, these cloud beasts would fill the skies. When the time comes, they would suffer heavy losses.
Although Mu Yu and Tang Jie didn’t know what Zhao Hai was doing inside his house, they didn’t inquire. They just went on to manage the mattes of the Hidden Cloud Village.
This time, they would need to leave some cultivators of the battlefield and bring people from the Cloudsea Territory back. This was to make the people of the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield see that it’s possible to subdue people from the Cloudsea Territory.
However, the issue with this was that they would need trustworthy people to bring back. Fortunately, there were a lot of trustworthy people in the Hidden Cloud Village. They wouldn’t carelessly speak out of what was required. Nevertheless, the people to be brought back still needed to be chosen.
In a blink of an eye, Mu Yu and Zhao Hai stayed in the Hidden Cloud Village for a month. These days, Zhao Hai finally found a method to move the white clouds away from the Sea of Beasts. This method was pus.h.i.+ng it from behind.
Zhao Hai plans to make a net large enough to cover a whitecloud island. Then he would have the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p pull it from the front. And behind the net would be a wall made out of transforming clouds. Then the Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+p, the PaG.o.da, Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots, adand Sword Shuttles would push it from behind. This combination was enough to move a large number of white clouds.
However, the large net needed to be made out of transforming clouds. Zhao Hai discovered that if he used Liquid Silver, then he would shred the whitecloud island to pieces. As for the transforming clouds, it had similar strength as well as density. Most importantly, it was gentle enough to pull the whitecloud island over without damaging it.
Although a net made out of transforming clouds was inferior to one made out of Liquid Silver, it was more effective for the task. Therefore, Zhao Hai finally decided to crease a large net and wall out of transforming clouds.
So after closing up for one month, Zhao Hai finally walked out of his cloud house. Tang Jie and Mu Yu were already waiting for him. There weren’t a lot of things left to do in the Hidden Cloud Village, so they were just idling and waiting for Zhao Hai to come out.
In this month’s time, the cloud beasts in the Sea of Beasts have stopped increasing. The mission to capture cloud beasts has also resumed. However, they were still prohibited from going too deep into the sea. After all, the Hidden Cloud Village was already located inside the Sea of Beasts.
When Zhao Hai came out, Mu Yu and Tang Jie immediately rushed towards his house. Seeing the two, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Brother Mu, Brother Jie, have everyone collect transforming clouds. We need a lot of them as soon as possible.”
Although Zhao Hai didn’t say what he was planning to do, both Mu Yu and Tang Jie trusted him. So they immediately transmitted orders and before long the entire Hidden Cloud Village was mobilized. Whether they be a Cloudsea Territory Cultivator or someone from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, they all took transforming clouds from their hands and handed them over.
Because transforming clouds could be used for practically anything, everyone had a large quant.i.ty of them inside their spatial bags.
Zhao Hai immediately organized people to start making the net. Because the net was too big, he needs everyone’s help to make it.
It took ten days for the net to be finished. It was a huge net, it can almost cover the entire Hidden Cloud Village. The eyes of the net were as large as a person, but compared to how big the net was, it was negligible.
Besides the net, Zhao Hai also constructed walls out of transforming clouds. After everything was prepared, Zhao Hai immediately stored them inside the s.p.a.ce. Then he went to Mu Yu and said, “Brother Mu, I’m going. Wait for my signal. Once I send word back, have everyone teleport to the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p. This time, we will certainly meet a cloud beast attack. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it on my own.”
Mu Yu nodded and said, “Do what you can. Take your safety as a priority.”
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he cupped his fist towards Mu Yu and Tang Jie before disappearing. Looking at the spot Zhao Hai disappeared from, Tang Jie’s expression was somewhat heavy as he said, “Big Brother, do you think Little Hai would be in danger?”
Mu Yu shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, Little Hai is much stronger than you can imagine. Let’s just wait. I believe we’ll receive news from him soon.”
Although he didn’t know why Mu Yu was so confident in Zhao Hai, Tang Jie still nodded. Then the two proceeded to make everyone prepare to support Zhao Hai.
At this time, Zhao Hai already appeared on the whitecloud island where he met Guo Ling. There were no huge changes on this island. What made Zhao hai curious was that this island was in the Sea of Beasts, yet there were no cloud beasts trying to eat him.
However, there wasn’t enough time to think much about this. Zhao Hai released his Undead before taking out the large net and the walls. At the same time, he also released the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p, Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+p, PaG.o.da, Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots, and the Sword Shuttles. After everything was prepared, Zhao Hai immediately had the Undead start spreading the net. This net was made with this particular whitecloud island in mind. Naturally, the size of the net was enough. The walls were properly placed as well. The Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+p on the back now looked like a strange bulldozer. After that, Zhao Hai proceeded to push the entire whitecloud island. The island slowly moved and then drifted towards the direction of the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield.
Zhao Hai excitedly gripped his fist. This success was brought from the laborious research he did with Laura and the others.
But then, at this moment, Cai’er’s voice was heard, “Young Master, a lot of cloud beasts are coming over.” Zhao Hai’s expression changed. Then he immediately took a jade sword message and sent it out.
