“It’s here.”
After taking a look around their surroundings, and noticing that there were not many dangerous chaotic energy flows, Shi Sen reckoned it was a good place to camp. Everyone all revealed expressions of relaxation, after that a few people scattered out with a silver metal ball in their hands.
“Ready.” Ah Leng shouted.
The others also replied in unison.
“Activate!”
The few of them poured energy into the metal b.a.l.l.s, and they all lit up with silver light auras at the same time. Tzzzzzz, the silver light all shot out from the b.a.l.l.s at the same time, and connected at the top, forming a frame, following that, the frame lit up with a light screen. The light screens all started to form, forming a completely sealed s.p.a.ce.
This was called the Spherical Chain Tent, with the silver b.a.l.l.s as the fulcrums, it uses energy to form the screens.
Everyone felt the pressure lightening inside the Spherical Chain Tent, and all sat down.
Outside the Chain Tent, the chaotic energy flows struck the surface, but the tent did not move at all. Without the erosion from the chaotic energy flows, everyone could finally relax and start to recuperate. Tang Tian did not need to recuperate, but he also felt tired.
Advancing inside the Sea of Energy was extremely difficult. His body could repel energy, which meant that the Sea of Energy was also repelling against his body, so the pressure for him to advance was heavier than other people. Every step was tiresome, and that exhausted him quickly.
Tang Tian’s entire body was already drenched with perspiration, he sat down and gasped for breath. His improvement was apparent, with his continuous advance, his physique had been tempered greatly.
Inside the sealed Spherical Chain Tent, it was extremely peaceful and quiet. The howls of the chaotic energy flows had all disappeared. No one spoke, as the time for rest was precious, and the longer the Spherical Chain Tent lasted, the more consumption was required. If the energy inside the silver b.a.l.l.s were to be completely consumed, the protection of the tent would disappear.
Without the Spherical Chain Tent, if they are not able to rest inside the Sea of Energy, it would be a one way road to death.
Not everyone could rest, as five Underworld Continent’s Demonic Mounts sat guard at five different corners. Behind them, connected to the silver b.a.l.l.s were extremely fine energy strands that connected and spread against the cover, which spread out towards the chaotic energy flow. All these light strands were extremely mobile, and used to detect the dangers that were fatal and hidden inside the chaotic flow of the Sea of Energy.
Shi Sen and the rest were all used to it, and no one complained of fatigue.
They were to rest for ten hours, then continue their journey.
A warship flew quickly in the Sea of Energy.
“In three days. I will reach the White Sands Continent, and at that time, I must definitely have a good time.” Qin Yu Ran stretched lazily, revealing her full and voluptuous figure like a blossoming flower, adding her languid and tired look, her bearing was all over the place.
A look of appreciation flashed past Bai Xiao’s eyes as he laughed: “The White Sands Continent is a strategic commerce town in the Southern Region, and to even go for one round, I am afraid that it will take young miss a while. Inside the White Sands Continent, the most famous place is the commerce street, called White Sands Down Street. It’s a first cla.s.s flourishing place, and is one of the 16 golden streets of the Sacred Saint Galaxy.”
Qin Yu Ran immediately became excited: “woah woah, I want to visit that place!”
“Young miss, we still need to rehea.r.s.e.” A middle aged lady immediately reminded, her last name was Qiu, and everyone called her Auntie Qiu, and was Qin Yu Ran’s manager.
Qin Yu Ran pleaded miserably: “Rehearsing once will be enough, right.”
“No way!” Auntie Qiu shot a glance at Qin Yu Ran: “This is the most important play this year, and more than half of all the aristocratic families and clans of all the various continents in the Southern Region will be present. If any hiccups were to occur in the play, it would definitely strike a blow in Young Miss’ reputation. The selection is about to begin soon, and at this time, reputation is the most important, we cannot be careless.”
Qin Yu Ran pouted and dropped her eyes, her facing looking like a sullen eggplant.
Bai Xiao laughed out loud.
Suddenly, someone barged in and reported: “Young miss, we have discovered a Spherical Chain Tent outside, and the people hope to board our ship.”
Qin Yu Ran and Auntie Qiu turned to look at Bai Xiao who nodded: “Bring up the screen.”
“Yes!”
A screen lit up on the wall, and a Spherical Chain Tent appeared in the screen. Bai Xiao scrutinized it and was surprised: “Eh, a very systematic army method, who are they?”
“They said they are traders heading towards the White Sands Continent.” His subordinate reported.
“Traders?” Bai Xiao did not express any opinion, and told Qin Yu Ran and Auntie Qiu: “They don’t seem to look like bandits.”
“I’m not afraid even if they are!” Qin Yu Ran showed off her little Snow White fist, with a look of excitement: “Best if they were, this way Little Bai can beat them until they p.i.s.s in their pants.”
Auntie Qiu chided: “How can a lady speak such dirty language!”
Qin Yu Ran cowered back, and showed her tongue.
Auntie Qiu spoke out: “Since they do not look like bandits, then let them on board, since it is convenient, and it is good karma.”
Bai Xiao laughed: “Auntie Qiu, rest easy, I will watch them.”
His speech was indifferent, yet contained a strong sense of self confidence.
Inside the Spherical Chain Tent, Tang Tian was curious: “They agreed to let us board?”
He sized up the gigantic warship in front of him. It was over 700m long in length, formed with many 10m long red boards. Shi Sen explained that it was a plank called Blood Wood, which was extremely expensive with strong defensive properties. The warship spotted a few pavilions with figures moving about, and the warship was protected by a thick layer of energy barrier.
It was the first time Tang Tian had witnessed such a thick and dense energy barrier, which was at least 10m thick, causing him to be dumbstruck. Any human would feel insignificant facing such a huge warship.
“Who knows. This depends on luck, some people are more worried about safety, some thinks that it is troublesome, but this is a warship, and I am afraid that its defense is very strong and they will not be afraid if we are bandits.” Shi Sen shook his head, he turned and spoke to the rest: “Everyone, keep anything that seems valuable.”
Everyone took off their armours and kept their Black Wind Blades.
Very quickly, a voice came out: “My master welcomes you all on board.”
“Thank you, n.o.ble lord!” Shi Sen called out, they quickly and efficiently kept the Spherical Chain Tent, and floated up to the warship.
The energy barrier suddenly opened up with a perfect 3m circle, and Shi Sen took the lead and went through the pa.s.sageway. Only when he boarded the warship did Tang Tian truly feel the majestic grandeur of the warship. His face was filled with shock, Heaven’s Road has never had such a huge mechanical weapon before.
A stronghold!
It is a stronghold, a stronghold that moves!
He was extremely sensitive to energy and could clearly feel the energy of the warship was one, and did not dare to think if the warship fully exploded with might, how powerful and terrifying it would be.
A manager brought them to a pa.s.senger cabin, and after settling them down, he spoke: “We only have this cargo hold left, I am afraid you all have to put up with it temporarily. Please do not move around casually. We will reach White Sands Continent in three days.”
“Alright!” Shi Sen immediately agreed: “Once again, please help me express thanks to your n.o.ble lord.”
Seeing that Shi sen and their att.i.tude were good, the manager’s complexion became better: “If there is anything you need, feel free to come find me, I am in room 13 ahead.”
“Thank you!”
The feeling of stepping on ground was miraculous, and everyone started to sit down. The location they were in was the cargo holding area, there were no beds or tables, but everyone was satisfied. The energy inside the warship was abundant, and they did not need to defend against the chaotic energy flow.
Everyone sat down, All of them consciously maintaining their defensive position with Tang Tian protected in the middle.
“How much is it for this type of warship?” Tang Tian suddenly asked.
Shi Sen laughed bitterly: “I don’t know, it is also this subordinate’s first time sitting in such a high grade warship, it definitely must be worth a lot.”
Tang Tian was already salivating, previously when he talked to Shi Sen about warships, he had no idea of them, but after personally witnessing it, he finally knew how powerful a warship was.
A gigantic object of over 700m, a moveable stronghold, caused Tang Tian to be extremely excited. The Sacred Saint Galaxy was truly a unique place, to actually be able to construct such a terrifying object, with energy barriers over 10m thick, this left an extremely deep impression on Tang Tian, he was unable to comprehend what kind of attack was able break through the thick energy barrier.
There were many things that Tang Tian did not know about, but as long as it involved battles and fighting, Tang Tian’s sharp, beastlike instincts would surface.
After thinking for a long time, he only thought of two possible methods.
An energy that was even stronger and concentrated to clash with the ship, Tang Tian guessed that the ship would definitely have a counter method against that.
Other than that, would be force that used laws.
Power with laws were even higher ranked, and in theory, any energy barrier regardless of how strong it had been structured from energy, is unable to defend against power with laws infused in them. But Tang Tian knew, to be able to break such and thick energy barrier, the attacker needed extremely and astonishingly deep and profound comprehension and understanding of laws to be able to do it.
What about the legendary Gold Saints?
Tang Tian chuckled.
There were so few Gold Saints in Heaven’s Road, whether or not there were any remaining, was unknown. But such a warship in the Sacred Saint Galaxy was not a rare object.
The Underworld Continent Demonic Mounts took the chance to recuperate, and the place became quiet.
Shi Sen noticed Tang Tian’s worried look, and asked: “Does master have any sort of worries?”
“I am slightly worried.” Tang Tian rubbed his head, he felt somewhat helpless, and then suddenly said: “Old Shi, tell me about the situation of the Sacred Saint Galaxy.”
Situation of the Sacred Saint Galaxy?
Shi Sen was slightly taken aback, he did not expect Tang Tian to suddenly throw out such a huge proposition, and spoke cautiously: “This subordinate does not know much.”
“Tell me how much you know.” Tang Tian did not mind: “for example who are the main powerhouses, you don’t have to be too in depth, it doesn’t matter.”
“Oh, alright.” Shi Sen sort of understood, thinking of his Master’s display of lack of information, he figured that Master definitely never left home before. He took a deep breath: “Then this subordinate will just touch and go. The Sacred Saint Galaxy is divided into the Eastern, Southern, Western and Northern regions, and we are currently situated in the Southern Region, and it is the most flourishing region with the strongest trade and commerce. With regards to the Southern Region’s strength, there are no one particularly strong, but because of the trade atmosphere, there are rarely power struggles or battles here. Master’s hometown which is Savage Continent, is in the northern region, which has the strongest powerhouses. The Savage Continent is a general term, there are many continents which seems to be at war, in which Master might be more knowledgeable in. The strongest in Eastern Region is the Gold Continent, which is proficient in mechanics, which have influenced the entire Eastern Region, and thus are prevalent in it. The strongest in the Western Region, should be the Honorable Martial Continent….”
“Honorable Martial Continent!” These three words immediately caused all the hair on Tang Tian’s back to stand, he exclaimed out loud, and his suddenly enlarged eyes had a cold intent flickering in them.
(TN: never wanted to call it honorable Martial Continent, as it could be called light continent or brilliance Continent, but to maintain the essence of connection, I will call it that)
