Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: The Other Shore of Shenwu Continent

Su Linglong encountered a great disaster, which not only made the Green Bamboo Stronghold Chief, Gu Li, deeply distressed, but Wu De was also filled with indignant fury. However, although they knew it was a conspiracy by Swiftwind Valley, aimed at eradicating the hope of Green Bamboo Stronghold’s rise, they were helpless to do anything.

With Swiftwind Valley’s formidable strength and Falcon Mountain’s reluctance to lend a hand, Green Bamboo Stronghold had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

After Su Linglong was injured, Gu Li and Wu De spent a large amount of cultivation resources to exchange for many healing pills from some renowned alchemists in Weixiang Nation, trying to wake Su Linglong from her coma and heal her wounds, but all efforts ended in vain.

Wu De knew that when Fang Bai was in the Secular World, he often treated people’s injuries and illnesses and was hailed as a Divine Doctor. But, the common ailments of ordinary people were incomparable to the severity of Su Linglong’s injuries, so Wu De had little hope that Fang Bai could cure Su Linglong.

However, Su Linglong and Fang Bai had a deep relationship, one could say she was Fang Bai’s confidante and Martial Dao companion. Wu De felt that, both emotionally and rationally, they should meet once more, which was one of the reasons he was willing to bring Fang Bai to Green Bamboo Stronghold.

Green Bamboo Stronghold was located at the easternmost edge of Weixiang Nation, less than a hundred miles away from the vast ocean. The whole stronghold was surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of green bamboo forests, creating an environment of tranquility and outstanding beauty.

According to the ancient records of Green Bamboo Stronghold, these tens of thousands of acres of green bamboo forests had existed since the founding of the stronghold, their age unknown, as if they had been there since time immemorial. Each bamboo stalk was thick and tall, verdant as jade, and threads of pure Wood Element Qi wafted out from between the bamboos, permeating the entire Green Bamboo Stronghold, providing an excellent cultivation site for the tens of thousands of disciples of the stronghold, and also making it one of the well-known Cultivation Holy Lands in Weixiang Nation.

Green Bamboo Stronghold was composed of thousands of bamboo buildings and houses, scattered among the vast bamboo forests. All the structures were constructed from the sturdy and robust green bamboo, housing over ten thousand Green Bamboo Stronghold disciples, resembling a small town hidden from the outside world.

At the very center of Green Bamboo Stronghold was a circular hillock with a circumference of a hundred feet. Atop the hillock stood a majestic and exquisite three-story bamboo building, the residence of Green Bamboo Stronghold Chief, Gu Li.

Around the hillock stood a dozen smaller two-story bamboo buildings, encircling and guarding the three-story building where Gu Li resided, serving as the living quarters for the higher-ups of Green Bamboo Stronghold.

On this particular morning, as the sun began to rise, its warm rays filtered through the gaps in the green bamboo leaves, illuminating the hillock and the three-story bamboo building, leaving countless dreamlike mottled spots of light.

At that moment, in the open space in front of the bamboo building, there was a large circular bamboo bed. Led by Gu Li, more than a dozen high-ranking members of Green Bamboo Stronghold sat cross-legged around the bed, their gazes fixated on a young girl lying on the bamboo bed, sighing deeply with worried expressions.

"Linglong has been in a coma for more than a month now. If it weren’t for her possessing an Innate Wood Spirit Root and her body’s ability to absorb the Wood Element Qi from our bamboo forest to nourish itself, her vitality might have been long extinguished. But this cannot continue, it’s not a solution!"

Shortly after, Gu Li let out a soft sigh, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the several Green Bamboo Stronghold Elders and Stewards. He slowly spoke up, "Linglong is a Martial Dao Genius that Green Bamboo Stronghold encounters but once in a thousand years. Her loss would be a colossal blow to us and would only further embolden Swiftwind Valley. Elders and Stewards, let’s pool our thoughts and figure out how we can heal Linglong."

"On my last trip to the Martial Artists Trading Market in Weixiang City, I heard from a mid-tier alchemist that Linglong’s injuries might only be cured by a high-tier Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill. However... Although we have many alchemists in Tiansheng Continent, we lack high-tier alchemists. Unless we make a distant voyage across the Myriad Miles Ocean to the other shore, to Shenwu Continent, and try our luck."

The one speaking was Zou Qing, the Elder of Green Bamboo Stronghold’s Elixir Hall.

To heal Su Linglong’s wounds, Zou Qing had made several trips to the capital of Weixiang Nation, Weixiang City, within the past month and exchanged for elixirs from several mid-tier alchemists there. However, those pills had proved ineffective for Su Linglong’s condition, leaving Zou Qing close to despair.

The higher-ups of Green Bamboo Stronghold exchanged glances, shaking their heads with sighs.

High-grade elixirs could naturally only be refined by high-grade alchemists, and yet, no such alchemist was known to exist in Tiansheng Continent.

Moreover, high-grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, although possessing the miraculous effects of reshaping meridians and regenerating limbs, was one of the most difficult elixirs to refine, with its main ingredient, the Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi, being incredibly valuable and rare.

Thus, for the martial artists of Tiansheng Continent, the high-grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill was nothing but a legend, something they had never even seen.

It was said that beyond the myriad-mile ocean that separated Tiansheng Continent lay the mighty Shenwu Continent, a place teeming with strong individuals. There, the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was even more abundant than in Tiansheng Continent, and cultivation resources were also richer, making martial artists’ powers generally greater than those in Tiansheng Continent.

Sects of great repute were established in Shenwu Continent. A second-grade sect like Green Bamboo Stronghold, which was considered top-tier in Tiansheng Continent, would have to act according to the dictates of first-grade sects in Shenwu Continent.

The plentiful Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and rich cultivation resources of Shenwu Continent made it a coveted cultivation holy land for martial artists of the True Martial Realm. Each year, many Vast Level and Cosmic Level experts from Tiansheng Continent set out on sea voyages, crossing the Myriad Miles Ocean in pursuit of higher realms in martial dao.

The ocean between Tiansheng Continent and Shenwu Continent was not only stormy and had severe weather, but it was also plagued with fierce spirit beasts. The journey was laden with dangers, but that did not deter the determination of Tiansheng Continent martial artists from heading to Shenwu Continent.

The ships sailing to Shenwu Continent were built from Black Gold Wood, tougher than steel, massive and robust, able to accommodate at least a thousand people. Furthermore, once a ship was constructed, an Array Master was invited to set up a Defensive Array to contend with the harsh marine conditions and attacks from vicious sea spirit beasts.

Constructing a sailing ship was an immense expenditure of manpower, material, and financial resources; therefore, only a few powerful second-grade sects in Tiansheng Continent had the capacity to build and operate these ships.

Swiftwind Valley, Green Bamboo Stronghold, and Falcon Mountain – these three second-grade major sects with access to a mountain and sea – were able to construct ships. However, limited by financial and material resources, both Green Bamboo Stronghold and Falcon Mountain had only one ship each, and even the mighty Swiftwind Valley only had two.

Due to the distant voyage, the ships of Green Bamboo Stronghold and Falcon Mountain could only set sail twice a year, and Swiftwind Valley a mere three to five times at best.

The martial artists boarding the ships, if staying in the ordinary cabins, had to pay an expensive fare of a hundred thousand Essence Stones, and those who wished to reside in the luxurious, comfortable cabins would have to pay double the price.

Nevertheless, a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Essence Stones were still affordable for the Vast Level experts and Cosmic Level experts.

Sects owning ships never had to worry about a lack of passengers. Every time a ship set sail, the cabins capable of accommodating thousands would be filled with martial artists from all over Tiansheng Continent. These martial artists would step on the journey to Shenwu Continent with infinite aspirations for the martial dao.
