Chapter 412: The Void Traveller

Seeing Yu Nantian shed crocodile tears, Zhou Bao thought that it was ludicrous. Including Yu Nantian, there were 17 people here in total and they were not easy to trifle with and all had their own chain of command. Even if Yu Nantian made himself a commander, that was nominal. It was almost impossible for him to command the others or strictly enforce orders and prohibitions.

Most importantly, he had to shoulder the responsibility now that he had gotten this position.

In his previous life, Zhou Bao had been a civil servant for a dozen years. Though he was not very high-ranking, he was an officer. It was well-known that officers were as shrewd as foxes, and Zhou Bao was no exception.

He had made a very thorough analysis of the situation that the leader had not only authority, but also an obligation. When they succeeded, there was satisfaction for everyone concerned. But when they failed, someone had to be called to account.

Each one of them in the group would be the nucleus of their sects in the future. And even one death would make those sects very distressed, let alone if several died. Then they would certainly have complaints.

Actually, they surely would return crestfallen because Zhou Bao had already been in league with Ye Qingtian. With Zhou Bao placing obstacles in the way, failure could be expected soon. So in Zhou Bao’s eyes, whoever made himself a commander would earn himself misfortune. Since Yu Nantian was eager to take the hot potato, he would love to make use of this opportunity and wait for the amusement.

“Well, since I’ve received undeserved kindness from you and I’m allowed to be the commander, I’ll take on the necessary responsibilities!” After winning that position, Yu Nantian seemed to be more high-spirited and vigorous, and his view toward Zhou Bao became more gentle as well.

“However, I know very well how slight my talent is. If I do something wrong, please offer your help!”

“Alright!” All of the people nodded their heads, including Zhou Bao.

“I hope that you all will sincerely cooperate in this operation. I know that you come from different schools and have different backgrounds, but it’s fate that has brought us together here. We, the Divine Wind Palace, have already stated clearly that even though this operation is led by us, the spoils of war will be shared by all, including the copy of the Golden Book of Fate, the Taihao Fairy Weapon, and the North Pole Frozen Wheel. We won’t privately take possession of them. Therefore, at the same time, I hope that you can strain every nerve and will never secretly hold us back. Otherwise, there will be no mercy.”

As he finished speaking, Yu Nantian’s expression turned cold and stern. He glanced at each of them, especially pausing when he saw Zhou Bao. Among those 17 people, Zhou Bao was the most wayward because he possessed powerful strength while suffering the weakest constraints from his sect. He wondered why such a person would be allowed to take part in this.

Facing Yu Nantian’s cold and stern expression, Zhou Bao still smiled modestly, as if he was entertaining high-level leaders in his previous life.

Next, Yu Nantian began to present his plan to the others. It was a pretty elaborate plan that contained various kinds of possibilities and details. Obviously, it had been prepared for a long time but that was not out of interest. To make such a perfect plan, he may have gone over it many times in advance.

But from Zhou Bao’s point of view, such a plan would become a joke when it was carried out, just like those projects in his previous life.

However, he definitely would not have his spirits dampened here. He instead nodded energetically and offered some proposals on critical points, seemingly very sincere. Everyone, including Yu Nantian, began to have a completely new appraisal of him then.

“How foolish!” Seeing that Yu Nantian’s expression turned out to be the same as those leaders who had paid him inspection visits in his previous life, Zhou Bao chuckled in his heart. “It’s easy to fool him, so I don’t need any head-on confrontations with him. If I use the same methods that I used in the past, I may even be able to manipulate him without being detected.”

“Zhou Bao!” He suddenly heard someone calling him at this time. So he raised his head, cupping his hand in the other before his chest and smiling. “Commander, what are the instructions?”

“Well. In total, there are 780,000 miles if we want to cross Borderline Mountain and the incessant sea and arrive at the Highest Heaven Region in the Three Western Regions. Our Seven-deity Regions truly have always had a good relationship with the Sea Area, while the situation there is rather complex and there will be various kinds of evil beasts. Even though we all have cultivations at Level Eight or Level Nine and carry some celestial devices with us, we’re not completely safe in the Sea Area. So, I want you to share more responsibility when crossing the sea.”

“Me?” Zhou Bao was a little confused. Besides Yu Nantian and himself, there were still 15 people. Why would Yu Nantian ask him to do that?

Seeing that Zhou Bao was confused, Yu Nantian just smiled. “I know that Your Excellency has Pure Yang Celestial Devices with you. To safely cross the 780,000-mile-long Sea Area, we, the Divine Wind Palace, have prepared a Pure Yang Celestial Device—the Void Traveller. But even though it moves at full speed and never stops, it will still take three days and nights. No one can predict what will happen during this period. So I hope that anyone who has a Pure Yang Celestial Device can help to defend. I have already consulted with the others on it before you came here. What do you think?”

“Sure.” Zhou Bao agreed quickly. “We are all in the same boat, so naturally I will do my part.”

“All right!” Zhou Bao responded pleasantly, and so did Yu Nantian. “Then you’re in charge of the defense on the port side. Whoever attempts to get aboard on the sea, you have to beat him away.”

“I see!” Zhou Bao nodded.

“The Void Traveller? A Pure Yang Celestial Device? Maybe it’s the same thing as the spaceboat that I saw last time. Even if it isn’t, it must belong to the same type as that one. I’d better observe carefully. Maybe I can get one more Pure Yang Celestial Device this time,” he thought secretly.

Due to the plan being so complete, all they needed to do was perform their individual functions. So, Yu Nantian only said a few words about the departure time and some other tasks.

Zhou Bao’s task was none other than defending with his Pure Yang Celestial Device on the port side, just as Yu Nantian had told him before.

Then everyone was dismissed. They decided to leave in the middle of the third day so that people would have enough time to get ready. Zhou Bao was not curious about Forever Peace Town, so he stayed at the inn during those two days to get himself in the best condition.

On the third day, they all got their things ready and passed over Borderline Mountain following a path. They did not run into anything unusual along the way. No evil beasts would be stupid enough to provoke 17 experts with Pure Yang Celestial Devices, no matter how strong they were. So, it took only half a day to arrive at the seaside.

The Sea Area was vast and limitless. It would be difficult to cross over even though they were all experts.

If they did not travel in a group, few of them would dare to cross over the Sea Area!

Yu Nantian waved his hand and a golden streamer ray flashed out and turned into a golden spaceboat in midair. That spaceboat reached a length of 1,000 feet and a height of 300 feet and had eight floors in total. How luxurious! With the spaceboat soaring aloft, Zhou Bao could clearly see that many spells and magic formations were engraved on it, which were sending forth an obscure spirit of energy.

“With such mighty defensive power, we still need to help defend? Are evil beasts in the Sea Area really so strong?” Zhou Bao frowned and an ominous premonition overwhelmed him.

How could he be optimistic?

This Void Traveller could withstand the combined attack of several Individual Immortals at once. But in this case, they still needed to assist in defending with Pure Yang Celestial Devices. So, it meant that those evil beasts’ attacking force was even stronger than several Metaphysical Individual Immortals’ combined attack!

Was that even possible?

If that was possible, then he needed to reevaluate the risks of this trip!

“Well, this is really good!” Standing above the Void Traveller, even Zhou Bao could not hold back his praise. Everything inside the Void Traveller was just as luxurious as what he had seen from the outside, looking splendid in green and gold. There were about 20 rooms on each floor, so even though they all had chosen their own rooms, the ship still seemed empty. Because of being in charge of the defense on the port side, Zhou Bao picked a room on the left side.

Pushing open the window that was made of Phoebe zhennan wood, Zhou Bao discovered that it was raining. As soon as Zhou Bao and the others had gone on board, the originally fine weather turned cloudy, as if it were arranged that way intentionally.

The spaceboat below them shook and then flew toward the incessant sea as the scenes in front of them changed rapidly.

“The speed of this boat is really fast! It’s even several times faster than a jet and is able to cross over 780,000 miles in just three days and nights. Wow!”

There was a huge white stone which reached a height of 30 feet standing above Wudang Peak of Borderline Mountain. It seemed to be very normal at first sight, but when the Void Traveller started to travel, the stone changed with a burst of a light ripple appearing on its surface. The stone suddenly turned illusory and strange. In just a few breaths the white stone transformed into a tall, thin man who wore white clothes. He was over 20 feet tall and his skin was cyan, which had a pattern of light on it. He stood on the peak and stared in the direction of where the Void Traveller was flying to and a grim feeling was revealed from his expression.

“Tell Rolling Dragon King that human experts from the Four Eastern Regions are going toward his domain. Ask him to intercept them timely!”
