"I also know about the Cloud Sea Flying Boat, it is rely a low-grade treasure. In the Kunyuan Academy, there is an Earth Piercing Divine Ship classified as a top-grade treasure."
"Fifth brother, send a clone with and you'll know." Zhao Xing said, "Besides, I also need a powerful Minister of Agriculture to accompany ."
"How powerful?" Ji Che asked.
"At least Rule Realm. This Minister of Agriculture must be from the Heavenly Ti Sect and possess a spirit of voluntary sacrifice and dedication." Zhao Xing pondered.
Ji Che said, "Currently, there are seven Rule Realm Ministers of Agriculture from the Heavenly Ti Sect. As for the spirit of voluntary sacrifice and dedication you ntioned... what exactly is this place known as the Returning Ruins?"
...
Xuantian Academy, Yunzhong Institute, Ancient Swamp Cave Heaven.
Dean Yun Ze of the Cloud Courtyard, Lu Xia of the Wind Institute, Wang Tianzhi of the Thunder College, Han Qing of the Rain Institute, and Ling Tianchen of the Hou Bian Institute gathered together.
Beside them were two Rule Realm vice deans, Chen Yu and Xiao Yun.
At this mont, seven Rule Realm Ministers of Agriculture from the Heavenly Ti Sect watched as ng Kun and Ji Youtang from the Earth Advantage Sect, under Zhao Xing's lead, dug a massive hole from a barren area in the Ancient Swamp Cave Heaven.
"What is the Grand Minister of Agriculture doing? Why are they digging a hole in our Cloud Courtyard?"
"Don't know, does Dean Yun know what's going on?"
Yun Ze appeared sowhat perplexed: "I don't know either, I just received the notification. This particular area in the Ancient Swamp Cave Heaven holds no value, so I have no idea what they're digging for."
"Why undertake a tunnel project in the Ancient Swamp Cave Heaven?" Wang Tianzhi glanced at Qiu Yuanshan, who shook his head: "Don't ask , I am also clueless."
"How odd, even His Majesty is here." Wang Tianzhi mumbled, "Could there be so treasure here?"
After the hole reached a depth of eighty thousand ters, ng Kun wielded the Shennong Hoe and dug another three thousand ters deeper.
"Your Majesty, Grand Minister of Agriculture, we've found it!"
While waiting in the middle of the hole, Zhao Xing and Ji Che imdiately brightened up.
They looked down and saw that after cleaning up the underground soil layer.
A primitive and mysterious stone door erged from the ground. The door had cloud patterns and was so ancient that the inscriptions had beco sowhat blurred, their origins unknown.
"Yun Ze, bring the Cloud Sea Flying Boat down." Zhao Xing transmitted this ssage to the people above.
"Yes." Yun Ze, the dean of the Cloud Courtyard, had originally been a vice dean, but after his brother Yun Duo died in battle on the Western Extre Continent, he beca the dean.
Buzz~
An ancient flying boat descended eighty thousand ters from the large hole, carrying people to the underground.
"What, there's a door here?" Yun Ze was slightly surprised, "I, as the dean, didn't even know."
"ng Kun, Ji Youtang, you both stand guard."
"The rest of you, board the flying boat with ."
Zhao Xing broke open the stone door, and then the flying boat carried seven Rule Realm Ministers of Agriculture from the Heavenly Ti Sect, Zhao Xing, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and Ji Che's clone onto the flying boat.
The Cloud Sea Flying Boat kept descending. Its earth-escaping function was not strong, it could even be said to be the most inconspicuous function.
How could a Heavenly Ti Sect cloud ship amplify the earth-escaping function?
Yet, in this strange passage, the speed of descent increased.
Eventually, even Yun Ze was astonished: "Its escaping speed actually surpasses that of the Earth Piercing Divine Ship? I didn't even know."
The other Ministers of Agriculture from the Heavenly Ti Sect were equally astonished, except Zhao Xing, whose expression was not only unexcited but sowhat silent, occasionally lost in thought.
...
At the Returning Ruins, the sky was dusky gray, with large rivers plunging into the chaotic mist.
The direction of the river's flow seed to adhere to so supre principle as if the rivers were passages leading to unknown realms within the mist.
Zhao Xing and the others' flying boat shuttled along the river course. After an indeterminate amount of ti, the drifting Cloud Sea Flying Boat was suddenly guided by a force, cutting through layer upon layer of turbulence, and then slowly ca to a stop.
In front appeared a small piece of land, lush with the spring's vitality, where a grove of peach trees grew.
Once the flying boat ca to a halt, white clouds drifted across the sky, resembling the isolated Peach Blossom Spring.
"So, this is the Returning Ruins?" Everyone curiously looked around.
"Yes, we have arrived." Zhao Xing nodded. "This is the Returning Ruins."
"Hmm?" Ji Che's clone suddenly looked in a certain direction.
"Your Majesty, have you discovered sothing?"
"The spiritual energy is abundant here, and soone is approaching." Ji Che said, even as a clone, his Establishing Tao Realm Dharma Body had a sharper perception than the others.
Soon, a figure with a veil appeared in front of the flying boat.
"Spirit Butterfly Fairy." Zhao Xing stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Mr. Zhao." Spirit Butterfly Fairy's face behind the veil seed surprised, "I didn't think you would find this path."
"It was a lucky find, I would ask the fairy to lead the way." Zhao Xing cupped his hands again.
"Mr. Zhao, you have reached your desired destination." Spirit Butterfly Fairy said, "But before I take you inside, please decide carefully and select the right people. The founder doesn't wish for disturbances inside."
Zhao Xing nodded, "Rest assured, Fairy, we won't. Everyone here is prepared to face life and death indifferently."
"Alright, follow ." Spirit Butterfly Fairy imdiately led everyone through the Peach Blossom Spring.
After walking for several miles, they arrived in front of an ancient courtyard.
The courtyard appeared peculiar, resembling a structure made of water, with rippling waves encircling the entire building.
Standing within the courtyard gate was a middle-aged man clad in a white Daoist robe.
Upon seeing this man, everyone stopped in their tracks.
The middle-aged man's gaze fell upon Zhao Xing and Ji Che, then swept across everyone else.
Then, he cupped his hands towards the outside of the gate, and his voice, sowhat tiworn, resonated through the water screen at the gate.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists."
"Greetings, Daoist friend." The group returned the courtesy.
Ji Che's eyes sparkled as he looked at the white-robed Daoist. After saluting, he inquired, "Junior Ji Che, may I know the esteed Taoist's na in the Returning Ruins?"
The white-robed Daoist paused for a mont, then his voice ca through, "My na is Cloud Sky Dao, the Grand Minister of Agriculture from the Xia Dynasty."
