Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 344 - 299: Demon Banner Returns, Black Tide Approaches

The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty's starship embarked on its maiden voyage, baptized by a victory, which indeed boosted morale.

Of course, there were some minor issues, such as lacking the agility of the Dragonbone Divine Ship and the inability to keep up with the Spiritual Qi conduction during extreme operations.

Now fully relieved, Zhang Kui began full-scale refining after making slight modifications.

The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty, to be frank, is currently adopting a national model, concentrating its power to tackle significant tasks.

Thousands of Profound Pavilion Feathered Scholars gathered at Siling Mountain, all experts in artifact refining, working in groups to create uniform components like decks and boat pavilions, saving Zhang Kui a great deal of time.

Thus, within a mere ten days, two starships consecutively set sail for Divine Island City.

During this period, the enigmatic Black Tide launched another attack, and the continuous arrival of the starships also completely stabilized the previously uneasy atmosphere in Divine Island City.

Everyone knows that the horn for a counterattack is about to sound.

...

Siling Mountain was shrouded in dark clouds and rolling thunder, a common sight for the Shazhou populace, but this time, it was somewhat different...

"Yes, just like that."

Watching the starship ascend in front of him, Zhang Kui nodded with satisfaction, and the sweat-drenched Feathered Scholars of the Profound Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging excited glances with each other.

The situation in Divine Island City is urgent, and the reason Zhang Kui remained was to personally oversee the Profound Pavilion's starship refining.

Although there were a few mistakes along the way, the method for starship refining was ultimately mastered. Although not as fast as Zhang Kui, with the collective effort of the entire Profound Pavilion, they could produce one starship per week.

The first batch plan is fifteen ships; with the four already refined, eleven more weeks are needed.

It's not that they didn't want a large fleet, but the limitation of materials, not only the insufficient quantity of Immortal Slave silver balls but also the Immortal Crystals excavated from Fallen Immortal Mountain are nearly depleted.

"Everyone..."

Zhang Kui looked at the members of the Profound Pavilion, his expression serious, "The starship plan concerns the life and death of the Divine Dynasty, and there must be no errors whatsoever!"

"We solemnly obey the Sect Leader's decree!"

Zhang Kui nodded slightly, then jumped onto the newly refined starship. After waving goodbye to everyone, he rushed into the sky toward Anqing State.

The sea of clouds rolled with grandeur.

Yet despite the magnificent scenery, Zhang Kui had no mind to admire it, his eyes filled with anger, and his thoughts were countless.

There is someone orchestrating the Black Tide!

Zhang Kui was not surprised, for since the ancient great war and the collapse of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, several ten-thousand years have passed. Who knows what was left behind at that time, and countless races have since explored, the waters are undoubtedly deep.

But why such targeted actions, and for what reason?

And then there's Huo Continent; though the details are unclear, finding an intact starship that went to explore the Moon Palace four years ago indicates it is no ordinary power.

The chaotic Great Path, evil gods rampant, alongside those who collude or hide in disaster, Zhang Kui had already sensed the storm about to erupt...

The speed of the starship was rapid, taking less than a two-hour period before the vast Underworld passageway at the foot of Yinling Mountain in Anqing State appeared, shrouded in black mist, with faint screams echoing.

Although people are now accustomed to it, knowing it is a trait of the Underworld, no one knows why this phenomenon occurs.

The stone hall outside the Teleportation Gate was bustling, and the people looked up in excitement upon seeing him, while the guards, having received the news, had already cleared the entrance of the passage.

Zhang Kui piloted the starship, slowing slightly before entering the passage; first came darkness, then the bright Divine Island City instantly appeared.

"The Sect Leader has arrived!"

Someone sharp-eyed immediately shouted, causing the whole city to erupt in cheers.

"Everyone, carry out your duties."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly, his voice resounding in the heavens and the earth. Then he cupped his hands toward Zhu Sheng, who flew up from the City Lord's Mansion, and drove the starship into the boundless darkness...

...

Upon the black desert, stretching endlessly were scattered limbs and fragments, along with peculiar white ashes left by incineration, drifting with the wind.

Two Dharma Guardian Generals, as towering as mountains, slowly vanished amidst golden light, while those of the Heaven-Devouring on the Dragonbone Divine Ship and Great Venerate Toad sighed in relief.

"Finally scattered..."

Great Venerate Toad scratched his belly, grumbling, "I wonder where these anomalies come from. Can they ever be completely eradicated?"

"Even the Infinite Immortal Dynasty couldn't do it; if we can restore order to the Underworld, it would already be commendable..." With a gruff voice, a Divine Dynasty Starship pierced the darkness, swiftly approaching.

"Salute to the Sect Leader!"

The demons of the Celestial Pavilion were instantly overjoyed.

"You've all worked hard."

Zhang Kui nodded solemnly, looking at the weary faces, these Great Demons, though once evil spirits causing chaos on the Divine Continent, showed remarkable unity in the face of catastrophe.

"What the Sect Leader says..."

Great Venerate Toad chuckled, "This is our duty. But my Heaven-Devouring is still quite rudimentary; I hear the Profound Pavilion will refine gadgets for starships in the future..."

Zhang Kui shook his head, smiling, "No rush, let's wait until all fifteen starships are completed first."

"You, sir, are quite inconsiderate..."

Yuan Huang glared at Great Venerate Toad, shaking his head slightly, then turned seriously, "Sect Leader, now that we have five starships, should we proceed directly?"

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes in thought, "No hurry, let me first discover the origin of this mastermind, then we act. You all return to Divine Island City for rest, and make sure to skillfully train in operating the Divine Ship."

"Obeying the Sect Leader's decree!"

The demons collectively cupped their hands, and upon raising their heads, Zhang Kui's figure was nowhere in sight.

…

The black fog loomed, and the wind-swept sand rolled.

Zhang Kui concealed his form, rapidly traversing the sky; under the Tongyou Skill, the scenery within a hundred miles was in his view.

With his current cultivation, this perilous Underworld posed no obstacle to him.
