It wasn’t until ascending the heavenly staircase that Xu Guang gained a more intuitive understanding of the enormous size of the flying boat.
It surpassed two thousand ters, evoking a surreal sense of terror, exuding a daunting aura, with floating palaces constructed upon it, shimring with a gentle glow, offering an extraordinarily dreamlike sensation.
The platform soon filled with people, all standing with mouths agape, staring in shock at the scene before them.
Even if General Wei revealed his true form, on this enormous flying boat, he would still be insignificant like an ant.
The space was quite spacious.
"It’s truly massive! Is this a Qi Refiner’s magical treasure? What grade of magical treasure is this flying boat? It’s simply astonishing."
"Indeed, could this flying boat be the legendary Saint’s magical treasure?"
To the people of Li Taizhou, a Saint was the strongest cultivator they had heard of.
A silhouette flashed, and Gu Shuo appeared in the air above the pavilion, standing there, instantly quieting the crowd.
"I am Gu Shuo, gentlen ranking on the rit List, all are prodigies of Li Taizhou. On behalf of the Northern Pole Institute of the Demon Hunters, I invite you to participate in the institute’s examination and beco Hongze Demon Hunters."
Zhuge Wuliang stood at the forefront of the crowd, respectfully clasping his hands, "Greetings to the Demon Hunter Angel."
The crowd uniformly clasped their hands, "Greetings to the Angel."
Gu Shuo nodded coldly, "The piercing cloud boat is a Saint’s artifact among us Demon Hunters. You cannot enter the jade towers inside, so stay on the deck for now."
No one had any objections.
From a distance, the jade towers looked extraordinary, extrely luxurious from the exterior, and being a Saint’s treasure, it was normal not to be allowed entry, as there could be many Saint’s treasures inside.
This flying boat was already enormous, enough for everyone to stand outside.
Gu Shuo finished explaining the rules and then disappeared.
Xu Guang found a vacant spot with Jiang Zi Yun and others, sitting quietly and waiting.
Gongsun Wang had brought a few people to Hongze with him; perhaps not strong enough, but due to their background and knowledge, they enthusiastically discussed the prosperity of Hongze and the various legends of the holy places in Hongze with Xu Guang.
Yet the topic always revolved around Xu Guang.
According to the Demon Hunters, these people were warriors accompanying Xu Guang, akin to servants.
If Xu Guang can truly beco a disciple of the Northern Pole Institute one day,
the status of these warriors, in Hongze, it’s sothing countless people would fight over. Those who enter the Northern Pole Institute of the Demon Hunters can at least survive two transformations if cultivating Martial Dao, or if refining Qi, becoming skilled in the five Secret Realms of the Divine Palace is not too difficult.
In their words and deeds, there was utmost respect for Xu Guang, aligning with a future powerhouse.
Xu Guang was unconcerned about these people’s thoughts; Gongsun Wang had ntioned the identities of these individuals. Besides Gongsun Bai being from the Gongsun Family, the other two were old acquaintances who owed him favors.
All were descendants of once-noble families now fallen.
Jiang Zi Yun quietly sat next to Xu Guang, gazing at the dark sea outside and the monstrous waves stirred by the ceaseless gales sweeping the sea surface.
On the dark sea, there was no trace of any living creature, only perpetually roaring colossal waves, with fierce gales shattering the wind above.
Everything was too terrifying.
Xu Guang looked at the black sea surface, suddenly feeling that Feng Sha Sea seed even more expansive than the offshore of Li Taizhou, which was his yearning for the world outside; the sea of Hongze must be even vaster.
The flying boat’s speed was swift, over six tis the speed of sound, with a velocity nearing three thousand ters per second, making it difficult for the ordinary eye to clearly see the scenery outside.
As the flying boat traversed the windstorm layers,
"Quickly, look, what is that?"
Soone exclaid.
The crowd followed the person’s pointing direction and instantly changed their expressions. They saw on the infinite sea surface, wind and clouds were gathering, swirling the black currents, as if so unimaginable monstrous thing was forming.
Xu Guang felt a chill in his heart; he had seen such a scene.
That was...
An Ancient God.
Swish.
Gu Shuo appeared at the forefront of the flying boat, his expression grave.
For the Ancient God to personally intercept, the piercing cloud boat being a Saint’s chariot, normally even an Ancient God wouldn’t battle with a Saint in such an uncontrollable place like the Feng Sha Sea.
"Everyone, hold on tight, don’t get thrown off."
In the distance, the silhouette of the Ancient God continued to manifest, the gale grew fiercer, and the torrential waves surged. The Ancient God’s silhouette was continuously being pulled, distorted, and twisted.
It seed as though sothing in Feng Sha Sea didn’t want the silhouette of the Ancient God to appear here.
Angry thunder and fierce winds intertwined in the void, creating layers of terrifying anomalies as if to destroy heaven and earth, combined with the terrifying black sea below, inducing an end-of-the-world feeling.
Red thunder snakes ripped the sky apart, and the sand-grit-filled strong winds that brushed past the ears felt like sharp knives shaving bone.
The people huddled on the flying boat seed as small as ants, even the usually calm Zhuge Wuliang showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
This power was not sothing mortals could contend with. Under such force, the hope for anyone’s survival relied solely on luck.
Xu Guang held Jiang Zi Yun’s arm tightly with one hand, and with the other, he clutched General Wei’s ivory.
As seawater filled with shards of ice crashed down from above, Xu Guang looked up to see the spider-web-shaped cracks in the clouds above. It was not daylight but a denser darkness erging from the fissures, where the strong winds vanished, and the thunder disappeared.
The piercing cloud boat swayed dangerously atop the Feng Sha Sea as if it could capsize at any mont. Vaguely, a strange murmuring seed to emanate from the deep sea.
