Chapter 547: Chapter 416: Entering Half-step Dragon and Tiger, Two Heavenly Mastery Divine Powers (4K+ Asking for monthly ticket)_2

The realm had stabilized almost completely, and Chen Yuan gazed at the scene within this Divine Treasure. With a step, in an instant, the Deep Pool surged with great waves, the Xuanwu Treasure Ship above emitted a flickering azure-black Spirit Light, producing a humming sound.

Chen Yuan’s Primordial Spirit soared upward towards that Great Sun.

"Buzz"

Subsequently, the ship rode the waves, transforming into a stream of light, also shooting out of Tai Xi.

Afterward, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, his mouth opened, and a treasure light flew out, landing on the cave floor.

"Boom" A sound echoed as the treasure light appeared, revealing the thirty-zhang-long hull of the Xuanwu Ship. Once it landed, white mist immediately rose below, water sprayed and splashed.

Chen Yuan immediately descended from mid-air, landing on the deck of the ship. With a wave of his sleeve, he removed the set prohibition, and then the ship resonated with a hum, sailing on land directly out of the cave.

Outside the desert, the fierce sun scorched high in the sky, the midday heat made the air blurry, and everywhere was vast desolation and drought.

Not long after, in a depression in the middle of a sand dune, wet marks suddenly surfaced from below, and then it cracked open, with a spring gushing out like a giant whale spouting water.

Following this, a small black-canopied boat, only three zhang long and about a zhang wide, floated up from the spring.

At the bow, Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, clad in green clothes.

As for the Xuanwu Ship beneath his feet, he had transformed its appearance, making it unobtrusive.

Before long, three streams of light flew from three directions across the hot waves, then landed with a crash on the three sand dunes around this depression.

The streams coalesced, revealing the figures of the three Grand Protectors from Taisui Mountain.

When Chen Yuan exited seclusion, he sent messages to the three protectors guarding within a few miles around him.

The three of them fixed their gaze on Chen Yuan, immediately sensed keenly that he was now like a sharp sword sheathed, and their hearts couldn’t help but tremble, filled with surprise and doubt, as their eyes involuntarily glanced down at the small black-canopied boat under Chen Yuan’s feet.

Regarding this suddenly appearing small boat, the three of them immediately had speculations!

Could it be that the treasure ship was refined by Brother Chen so quickly?

The change in Brother Chen’s aura seems related to this, and a surge of envy welled up in their hearts.

However, everybody had previously spoken openly, and after trying, they couldn’t handle it, naturally they didn’t feel jealous.

"Congratulations to Brother Chen on subduing this treasure and greatly increasing your power!" Hu Yanqing grinned widely, openly congratulating Chen Yuan, clasping his fists.

"Congratulations to Brother Chen on exiting seclusion. It seems we have one more advantage breaking through this encirclement." Jade Qilin of Jinyu Mountain smiled slowly.

Yu Wenguang also joined in congratulating.

Chen Yuan did not deny, "I indeed gained quite a bit this time, but I only refined the hull. As for the Creation of Heaven and Earth within the ship, I don’t have such mastery yet, and can only temporarily seal it, which will require time."

That said, his gaze steady, he inquired, "How many days have I been in seclusion?"

"About three and a half days!" Jinyu Mountain quickly responded.

"So fast?" Chen Yuan lowered his head, pondering a bit, without feeling much. Then he did some calculations, recalling that it had been almost eight or nine days since he sent a message to Gongsun Yang and slightly frowned. They had yet to receive a reply, indicating that there wasn’t any effective progress on matters. If there was news, the other party would inform him first.

However, he knew that at such times, he needed to remain stable and not rush.

"All three of you, get on the ship. Let’s find another place first!"

"This ship can conceal its aura and dive into the underground river, increasing safety."

Chen Yuan had this kind of nature, where in unfamiliar territories, he wouldn’t linger in one place for too long, constantly choosing to change locations.

This was also one of the reasons why, while stranded in the Ten Thousand Mountains, they encountered little trouble along the way.

After all, with their cultivation and divine power, as long as they didn’t deliberately cause trouble in this Demon Territory, hiding wasn’t difficult without being tracked. After all, with the Ten Thousand Mountains being so tall and dense, finding a secluded corner to bury themselves underground wasn’t strange, even for ten or eight years.

Jinyu Mountain and the other two faced Chen Yuan’s words without any doubt. Unconsciously, they had become accustomed to following Chen Yuan’s lead, obediently, each of them flew onto this small boat.

Next, there was a slight tremor beneath Chen Yuan’s feet, and the boat hummed before white mist curled up below. Then, the hull sank together with the spring, quickly restoring calmness to the depression beneath the sand dune.

........

On the other side, miles away, at Chuanzhong Pass, the Mountain-cutting Army’s station.

In front of the council hall, an elderly general, wearing Green Armor, a black cloak, with gray-white hair and a goatee, stepped out from inside. While the candlelight inside was warm, outside the wind and snow howled, the cold wind biting.

The old general crossed the threshold, heard footsteps behind, paused, turned around, and faced those seeing him off, his face showing a kind of urgent helplessness, let out a sigh.

"Lord Pei, stay, I shall leave first, but once there’s an outcome, please inform me at the earliest. So much time has passed, I fear delays could change situations." The speaker was Gongsun Yang, who had returned non-stop from Jingguan City after delivering orders.

The tasks assigned to the front line by the General are of utmost importance. If he receives the results, he must report back to the General at once.

But these days have passed without any ripple, and those sent out were like stones sinking into the sea, making him unable to remain calm. Once he heard any movement near here in recent days, he rushed over to ask Commander Pei about the task’s progress, but the answers were nearly always the same.

This waiting game was maddening!

Gongsun Yang was worried that the extended time here would delay his General’s plan, causing events to change with delay, putting the General in danger, and he, as the messenger, was the only one who knew the General’s full plan. Knowing that once the plan began, it would implicate and affect a major part of Jiannan Road, he felt as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, not daring to relax.

On the other side, Pei Yanhu, clad in Swallowing Beast Face Lion Armor above, wore an Embroidered Cloud and Flying Beast General Robe, with yellow-curling eyebrows, tiger eyes slightly downcast,

"Mr. Gongsun, my position understands your urgency, but I believe in the soldiers of my Mountain-cutting Army. My position also won’t let Brother Chen fight alone. You should go back, and once there’s news, I’ll notify you. Being like this could arouse suspicion, disrupting military morale."

Pei Yanhu’s demeanor as a general was prudent, and he reminded Gongsun Yang to leave his identity concealed, for now, after all, he was the only contact with Chen Yuan.

Gongsun Yang’s expression slightly tensed, "Yes!" Then he cupped his fist and left quickly.

After taking a few steps, from the far end of the wind-swept corridor came the hurried footsteps, approaching.

Next, an armored soldier clad in Black Armor with a hand resting on the long knife at his waist, his armor clattering, quickly ran towards the council hall.

Upon seeing Pei Yanhu, he stopped and called out urgently,

"Report, there are three men at the gate seeking a meeting, claiming to be from Enlightenment Mountain and saying they have urgent business to discuss with you in the command room. One of them posted on the list eight days ago!"

At this, Gongsun Yang paused on the steps, his eyes flickering with surprise, Enlightenment Mountain?

It sounded somewhat familiar!

Just then, Gongsun Yang remembered from before when the General of the Ninth Mountain withdrew from Weiyuan Pass, a team of master and disciple from Enlightenment Mountain, a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, joined them, where the master was a Martial Vault expert.

With this newly received information, Gongsun Yang’s eyes flickered in surprise, Enlightenment Mountain?

Pei Yanhu also had some impression of the name Enlightenment Mountain. He recalled that Chen Yuan had mentioned it in this council hall before, and he mused with thoughts stirring as his gaze turned towards the snowy scene outside, his eyes brightening.

Soon, three figures, led by the Armored Soldier, gradually appeared around the corner in the snowy corridor outside.

At the front, one man in simple green clothes stood with a dignified air, and another wore a black-and-white Taoist robe, holding a Jade Ruyi, exuding a calm authority without anger.

Behind them, a person whose blood and energy radiated like the sea, with silver hair glittering with treasure light, exuding a vigorous aura, like a young lion!
