Chapter 931: Chapter 899: Journey to the Central Ancestral Realm, Treasure Ship Commerce Association

The other four were all Ancient Spirit Beasts, among which was a Black-Horned Silver Serpent.

The remaining three were the Seven-Colored Heaven-Shaking Roar, the Golden Spirit Wolf, and the Water Cold Beast.

All four Ancient Spirit Beasts were at Tier Four level, and upon reaching adulthood, they could be called Golden Core Demon Kings.

These Spirit Beasts were hatched, and during this time, Lu Ping was also cultivating the Divine Court Heart-Focusing Sword, making considerable progress.

In his Divine Court, he had already condensed the rudimentary form of a Heart Sword.

This Heart Sword was born according to Lu Ping’s Heart Form, and the Ten Great Sword Forms he mastered could all be considered a kind of Heart Form.

The Heart Sword Lu Ping condensed was essentially the product of the fusion of the Ten Great Sword Forms.

This Heart Sword, although only in rudimentary form and with the cultivation technique just beginning, already had the simple effect of resisting the Heart Demon and guarding Lu Ping’s Divine Soul.

In battle, it could also be used to deploy this Heart Sword against enemies, attacking their Divine Soul.

"I need to continue cultivating diligently."

After finishing cultivation, on this day, Lu Ping talked with the Void Celestial Extreme Saint avatar in the Void Heaven Secret Realm about matters concerning the Central Ancestral Realm.

His development in Lingxi State could be said to have reached its limit, unable to rely on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

To further refine his cultivation, he had to leave Lingxi State and head to the more prosperous Central Ancestral Realm.

"You hold the Great Shift Order, which allows you to directly go to the Ancient Teleportation Array and teleport to the Central Ancestral Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping felt extremely curious about the Central Ancestral Realm.

Regarding the whereabouts of his wife, Li Chaoge, according to Li Qingchan’s account, he also needed to go to the Central Ancestral Realm to investigate and visit the Li Family.

This was a concern buried deep within Lu Ping’s heart for many years. Now that Cyan Mountain Sect had grown strong and Lu Yuanshan had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, there was no longer a need for him to guard Cyan Mountain Sect.

It was also the right time to visit the Central Ancestral Realm.

"Going to the Central Ancestral Realm, you’ll need the Great Shift Order to go there, but returning is much easier as there are numerous teleportation arrays directly reaching Lingxi State, Yongning State, and various places in the Outer Sea."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s avatar said with a smile, alleviating Lu Ping’s concerns for this trip.

With teleportation available, one can return at any time.

Having discussed the details, Lu Ping decided to set out for the Central Ancestral Realm in two days.

During these two days, he instructed Lu Yuanshan and others, stating he would leave Lingxi State and visit the Central Ancestral Realm for a period of time.

Knowing Lu Ping’s intentions, Lu Yuanshan and his siblings felt reluctant yet understood Lu Ping had reached a level where staying in Lingxi State would not grant many benefits—he might as well explore broader horizons.

"Father, you should go; once you’re familiar with the area, I’d like to go and see the world too," Lu Changfeng said with a smile, showing great interest in the Central Ancestral Realm.

"Dad, stay safe," Lu Zhiwei said.

"Father, with your child at Cyan Mountain Sect, you can rest assured," Lu Yuanshan added.

Shanshan and the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, naturally, accompanied him and wanted to see it as well.

On the day of departure, Lu Ping, guided a Flying Ship, set off towards Qingli Sea under the watchful eyes of Lu Yuanshan and others.

"Father, we’ll await your return," Lu Yuanshan’s voice faded, and Lu Ping glanced back, seeing the vast Cyan Lotus Mountain in his view reduce to a small black dot.

While to Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, Lu Changfeng, and Liiu Qiumei, Lu Ping’s figure turned into a distant flicker and vanished from sight.

The Qingli Sea borders the Outer Sea, and the location of the Ancient Teleportation Array recorded in the Great Shift Order is located on a Spirit Island in the Outer Sea.

This island is a deserted one, not recorded on sea maps, but fortunately, the marker on the Great Shift Order helps find the location of this deserted island.

The entire area of Qingli Sea spans millions of miles, and crossing Qingli Sea would take even Nascent Soul Cultivators about a year.

Lu Ping didn’t want to spend over a year flying.

Moreover, the location of the deserted island is not on the border of the Outer Sea, where it connects to Qingli Sea, but rather closer to the center of the Outer Sea.

This inevitably adds another million miles of distance.

Compared to the Qingli Sea, flying directly to the Outer Sea not only takes time and effort but also consumes a significant amount of magical power and risks encountering attacks from Demon Fiends in the Outer Sea.

The Outer Sea is rife with Golden Core Demon Kings and occasionally sees Nascent Soul Demon Emperors.

Based on the Void Celestial Extreme Saint avatar’s suggestion, Lu Ping went to the largest island in Qingli Sea, Cyan Simurgh Island, to inquire with the Treasure Ship Commerce Association.

This Treasure Ship Commerce Association is one of the three major commerce associations on Cyan Simurgh Island, along with the Spirit Sword Commerce Association and Fengrao Commerce Association, all with broad business scopes.

The Treasure Ship Commerce Association holds an advantage by having an extremely well-developed ship industry chain, providing various spiritual ship sales, transactions, rentals, and rides.

Lu Ping was attended by a Crystallization Cultivator named Liu Baoshan.

Lu Ping stated his intention to take a Treasure Ship to the Outer Sea.

"Recently, there have been frequent appearances of Demon Beasts in the Outer Sea. To stop and combat the Demon Beast tide, various Immortal Sect forces purchased many Treasure Ships from this association, even chartering many of our trade ships."

"Currently, this association temporarily has no Treasure Ships available for long-distance service; to wait, it would take at least five years."

"Friend, perhaps you could take a Treasure Ship from outside this association to the Outer Sea," Liu Baoshan said with some humor, offering a suggestion.

"That’s fine. I wonder from which Treasure Ship, and when is the departure?"

Lu Ping didn’t hesitate, and since the Treasure Ship Commerce Association temporarily lacked long-distance service and available Treasure Ships, Liu Baoshan’s suggestion was worth considering.

As long as he could quickly reach the Outer Sea.

Lu Ping mentioned his approximate destination range to see if there was a suitable Treasure Ship available.

"Please wait a moment, I’ll check for you," Liu Baoshan smiled slightly, took out a booklet, and, after a moment searching, found the answer.

"In half a month, the Yang Family will have a Treasure Ship heading to the Outer Sea."

Liu Baoshan explained in detail that a Golden Core Cultivator would lead the ship, with over ten members of the Yang Family accompanying, transporting a batch of strategic materials to the Outer Sea.

"With a Golden Core Ancestor overseeing, this journey to the Outer Sea is considered safe, and according to your destination, the distance is not far."

"This trip won’t require a fee of Spirit Stones. What do you think?" Liu Baoshan asked politely, showing a few signs of respect.

Such family Treasure Ship expeditions often register here to attract some Cultivators to accompany for mutual support; if encountering Demon Beasts or Bandit Cultivators, more hands can handle them.

It is a mutual benefit—I ride your ship, and you lend a hand in times of trouble.

This type of transaction is common and has become familiar in the sea territory.

"Let’s go with this ship then," Lu Ping agreed.

"Alright, Friend, please register, and I’ll notify you when the Treasure Ship approaches this port in half a month," Liu Baoshan gave a Communication Talisman for further communication.

One day before the Yang Family Treasure Ship approached the port, Liu Baoshan notified Lu Ping, preparing him to board.
