...
The Dagan’s Changning eastern sea mouth.
On this day.
The sky was high and the clouds were pale; the wind was mild and the sun was bright.
On the turquoise sea surface, ships ca and went like shuttles, bustling with activity.
The sizes and structures of these ships varied greatly; there were both ancient wooden sailing ships and giant ironclad ships with steel fras and thick armor. Their contrast was striking, yet they blended harmoniously, like countless stars adorning a brilliant galaxy, displaying a special charm as if ti and space intertwined.
At this mont.
A large wooden sailing ship with the Zhou Dynasty flag was passing through the estuary and slowly sailing into Peace River.
This sailing ship seed to have so years under its belt; the wooden planks on the hull were deep and dark, with a few mottled scars, even the white sails hanging from the mast appeared slightly yellowed, full of a sense of history.
The hold of this ship was loaded with special products from the Da Zhou State, so high-quality spirit wood materials, and tal ingots of various types refined from minerals, along with raw materials for spiritual dicine of various grades, as well as luxury-class spirit at and spirit fish from Da Zhou’s Cold Water Sea.
This trade ship from Da Zhou had long been traveling between Dagan and Da Zhou, earning substantial rewards by transporting goods. anwhile, they also undertook so passenger services, earning extra high returns.
After all, in recent decades, the exchanges between Da Zhou and Dagan had beco increasingly frequent, and the number of people traveling between the two countries had increased significantly compared to before.
On the deck, a group of young n and won, spirited and vibrant, were excitedly observing various novelties.
"Brother Liu," an enthusiastic young man in white, holding a folding fan, said, "Have you seen that ship? My God, it’s seventy to eighty zhang long, made entirely of steel, and it runs faster than our wooden ship. By the way, why does it lack sails? What’s powering it?"
"Big Brother Liu, are those towering shapes along the shore tall buildings? How are Daqian people able to build such high structures?"
"Brother Liu... is that a cloud ray flying boat passing overhead? This is the first ti I’ve seen a cloud ray flying boat."
"Uh... Brother Liu, was it my imagination, or did two Celestial Masters just pass by in mid-air?"
The young cultivator referred to as "Brother Liu" was nad Liu Gaoliang. He was a direct descendant of an ordinary Fifth Grade Prominent Family in Da Zhou, currently only sixty years old, yet already at Spirit Platform Realm Level Three, even surpassing their family’s current generation of celestial-type.
His change of fate ca early on when he traveled with a fleet to Changning, overwheld by the climate of Dagan’s Changning. By fortuitous chance, he joined the county school in Changning as an exchange student, where his diligent study gained him nurous accolades, leading to his current achievents.
And those young people surrounding him were a group of young scholars from Da Zhou, who had co to study at Changning County School. Most of their families were "quite ordinary," with the highest in status being only a Sixth Grade Prominent Family and not even of the direct line.
Luckily, their talents weren’t bad, and their families spent "an enormous fortune" to send them here to study, with a straightforward goal: hoping they could find a path to developnt at Changning County School, or even settle in Changning, establishing a branch family and prospering.
Recalling his own feelings upon first arriving in Changning, Liu Gaoliang, rather than being impatient, answered everyone’s questions patiently.
"Changning is unlike other places; here, Spirit Platforms are everywhere, Celestial beings are commonplace. Celestial Masters and Enlightened Ones are frequent sights; with good fortune, one might occasionally encounter a True Monarch of the Void," Liu Gaoliang said calmly. "In the future, when you see Masters, Enlightened Ones, or True Monarchs, don’t make a fuss. Keep a normal heart."
This statent left everyone dumbfounded.
How could such a small place possess so many big shots? A True Monarch of the Void, such an existence, was found in the entire Da Zhou State only at the Sacred Land, apart from Emperor Yuan Ping currently!
A young man, in his thirties, bowed towards Liu Gaoliang and said, "Big Brother Liu, could you tell more about the Wang family, especially a Master nad Wang Shouye?"
The others perked up imdiately: "We’ve also heard about the stories between Elder Pill King and the Imperial Princess. If you have any gossip, Big Brother Liu, please share with us."
"Shh, be careful what you say." On hearing this, Liu Gaoliang’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Elder Pill King is the Old Ancestor of the Wang family, his status beyond ntion. Li Mingtang, you usually seem composed and reliable; why are you acting recklessly with these fellows?"
Actually, Liu Gaoliang was quite optimistic about Li Mingtang. Although he was only from a remote, Eighth Grade Prominent Family in the fishery, he had a rare Second Rate Supremacy bloodline talent, calm and composed, full of decorum. As long as he remained patient and studied well at the county academy in the future, he was assured of reaching at least the mid-stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.
If he could make great contributions or receive appreciation from so big shot, it wouldn’t be impossible to further improve his bloodline talent.
"Big Brother Liu, you’ve misunderstood ." Li Mingtang hastily explained, "I only wish to learn more about Elder Pill King, to repay a favor. Our family once accomplished a small task for him, yet we received a trendous gift of spirit stones and Dan dicine from him, improving our family’s situation significantly, which enabled them to cultivate . Before I left, the patriarch said, if there’s ever a chance to et Elder Pill King, we must repay the kindness."
