As Ye Yun’s voice faded, the space ahead trembled violently, as if on the verge of collapse.
Then, a massive white shadow descended from the sky, slowly pressing down.
In the roaring wind, a Divine River warship thousands of meters long materialized before everyone’s eyes, leaving them all dumbfounded.
“Holy crap… is that a warship?”
“You call *that* a warship?”
“That’s an aerial fortress!”
Some cultivators of the Abyssal race, upon seeing the Divine River warship, were utterly shaken.
In all their years, they had never witnessed such a colossal warship in existence!
And judging by its formidable and imposing exterior, it appeared incredibly powerful!
“Have the warships of the Heavenly Domain developed to this extent?”
Beside them, the quasi-emperor elders of the Abyssal race looked aghast, as if they had seen a ghost.
If the Heavenly Domain were to unleash a horde of these ships, what else could they possibly fight with?
Fortunately, Ye Yun cleared his throat and explained.
“The Heavenly Domain’s warships aren’t this exaggerated. This is one I acquired by chance, from a long time ago, it seems.”
“So, it might be a little… large.”
Upon hearing his explanation, the elders breathed a sigh of relief.
“I see, then it’s fine…”
This outcome was, in fact, good news for them, as Ye Yun seemed to be a potential future ally!
Meanwhile, Xing Wu was also greatly surprised by the warship.
During the previous battle, she hadn’t paid much attention to the Divine River warship that was deployed. Now, it appeared far more majestic.
She looked at Ye Yun suspiciously and couldn’t help but comment.
“How do you always manage to obtain such inexplicably valuable treasures?”
Hearing this, Ye Yun replied sheepishly.
“Luck, it’s all just luck.”
“…”
In the end, Xing Wu shook her head helplessly and chuckled.
“Never mind. Everyone has their own secrets. If you don’t wish to say, I won’t press the matter.”
She wasn’t particularly nosy and didn’t feel the need to pry into others’ secrets.
Hearing this, Ye Yun secretly relaxed and then smiled faintly.
“Don’t worry, when the time is right, I will tell you everything.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for that day.”
Xing Wu smiled, then steered back to the main topic.
“Now, the most crucial matter is to set off and find the missing person.”
“Indeed, let’s go up together.”
Ye Yun gestured, and the group boarded one after another.
Below, Ye Yao waved at them and called out loudly.
“Master! You must come back soon!”
Ye Yun nodded and replied with a smile.
“Don’t worry, your master will return as soon as I find them.”
Originally, Ye Yao had wanted to accompany them, but now the encampment was in a state of disarray, lacking a leader.
It was imperative for someone of sufficient standing to be present to manage affairs.
With Xing Wu going to search for the missing person, the responsibility naturally fell upon her.
After everyone had boarded, the Divine River warship slowly ascended with a rumble and flew towards the distance.
Through the window, Ye Yun gazed into the darkness ahead, taking a deep breath with a complex expression.
“I wonder what the relationship is between the location marked on that partial map and the Divine City…”
Anything involving the divine naturally warranted caution.
Especially when he himself seemed to have an intricate connection to it…
Time ticked by, and the Divine River warship traversed the skies above the Sea of Illusions.
…
Upon entering the main control room and encountering its myriad functions, Xing Wu was further astounded by the warship.
Little did she know, when operating at full capacity, this Divine River warship could even contend with beings above the Emperor stage.
Otherwise, she might have been even more shocked.
At this moment, Ye Yun handed Theresa the coordinates of the last rescue signal from the missing Empress, recorded by the Abyssal elders.
“Calculate it, how long will it take to reach our destination?”
Ye Yun inquired, and immediately received a reply.
“Captain, the entire journey will take forty-five hours and thirty minutes!”
“That’s quite far…”
Ye Yun sighed, resigned to spending another two days on the Sea of Illusions.
To be frank, if he had a choice, he truly didn’t want to see this place again. The super-Emperor stage monster from before had left him with considerable PTSD.
In the blink of an eye, about two days passed.
During the journey, Lin Xueyan and the others frolicked and played on the deck, while Xing Wu sat in meditation, condensing something.
“Hey, my dear wife, what are you…?”
Hearing him, Xing Wu looked up, continuing her condensation, and said.
“Naturally, it’s the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao Heart. The sooner I condense it, the sooner I can reconstruct her physical body for her.”
“I see…”
Ye Yun nodded with a smile.
“I didn’t realize you were so concerned about her matter.”
Xing Wu let out a light snort and said indifferently.
“It’s entirely because she saved you. If it were up to me, I would have swallowed her whole long ago.”
“Yes, yes, whatever you say.”
Ye Yun nodded helplessly, thinking about when his tsundere wife would ever be direct about her feelings.
Then, as if struck by an idea, he suddenly asked.
“So, are you really going to help her reconstruct her body? Then what would your relationship with her be?”
“Should it be considered a mother and daughter relationship?”
At this, Xing Wu’s brow subtly twitched, and she snorted.
“Daughter? I don’t have such a troublesome daughter.”
“You don’t like troublesome ones? Then what kind do you like?”
“Naturally, obedient and well-behaved ones.”
“Is that so? Then shall we have an obedient and well-behaved daughter later on?”
“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea…”
But as soon as she finished, Xing Wu glared at him.
“Wait, when did I say I was going to have a child with you?”
“Just now, you personally agreed.”
Ye Yun grinned and looked at her.
“How about we have one after we return to Chaofeng Mountain?”
“Go to hell. If you want a child, let that old phoenix have one for you.”
“You said that yourself…”
“Hmm?”
“Ahem, actually, I think having children later on is quite good too.”
Ye Yun chuckled sheepishly, realizing he should know when to stop joking.
Otherwise, he would likely be pinned to the deck and ground into a pulp by his wife with her bare hands.
Xing Wu then retracted her murderous gaze and continued to condense the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao Heart in her hands.
Ye Yun sat by her side, watching her quietly, admiring his wife’s focused expression.
Occasionally, he would glance at his disciples playing on the deck outside the window, and he couldn’t help but muse.
“Am I, in a way, a winner in life?”
However, this tranquility was short-lived.
They were nearing their destination, and soon, Lin Xueyan’s excited cry came from the deck.
“Master, come out quickly and see, there’s something happening up ahead!”
