The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 402

Shen Mo initially thought that Jiang Lingfeng would let it go!

Unexpectedly, when it was late at night, she came to GuanYun Mansion again, bringing an offer that greatly attracted him.

Firstly, if he could successfully complete this task, the rewards from the sect would include Merit Points, abundant valuable resources, and the generous compensation provided by the Yuan Family, which she would share equally with Shen Mo.

Secondly, regardless of whether the task of rescuing Yuan Chengshan was successful or not, Jiang Lingfeng would gift him a low-grade spiritual level cultivation method, and not prohibit him from teaching it to others.

Thirdly, the Yuan Family would lend them a top-grade magic ship and cover the consumption of Spirit Stones for the round trip to the Immortal Burial Sea. Shen Mo wouldn’t have to worry about traveling by escaping light, which wouldn’t interfere with his cultivation or Alchemy.

Shen Mo couldn’t help but wonder, who reminded her about compensation?

"I transmitted our conversation to Master, and he laughed, saying I was being stingy, like trying to make a donkey work without giving it any beans..." Jiang Lingfeng said sheepishly.

...

Shen Mo’s face darkened. Peak Master Zhou Shili was truly something, not only guiding Jiang Lingfeng but also taking the opportunity to mock him.

"In that case, Senior Sister, I will accompany you on this adventure!"

In the end, Shen Mo accepted Jiang Lingfeng’s invitation and agreed to set off the day after tomorrow.

The next day, he made preparations for the journey, such as going to Jiyun Town to handle the Elixirs and other materials with Shopkeeper Qian. He also spent some intimate time with Zhao Lingyin and told her about his departure. He sent a message to Qian Xiaofeng regarding follow-up cultivation.

「Immortal Burial Sea.」

The vast sea was full of wind and waves. Dark grey clouds covered the sky, and the rain was pouring heavily.

The furious winds howled, carrying the torrential rain down, emitting a wailing sound that made the entire sea restless. The dark green sea rolled up waves as high as city walls, a scene so terrifying it could shatter an average person’s courage!

A small, black-canopied magic ship, however, pushed against the stormy waves, heading eastward.

The magic ship was covered in soft ripples, shielding it from the storm, while profound runes flowed underneath, lifting the magic ship to cut through the waves. It left a long, deep furrow on the sea’s surface, like a heavy plow progressing on the ground!

Inside the magic ship, a woman in yellow sat with her legs crossed, controlling its direction and speed through the central system. Apart from her, there were also two others inside the cabin of the black-canopied magic ship: a distinguished-looking young man and a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old... It was none other than Jiang Lingfeng, Shen Mo, and Ming Yu.

They had traveled to Dingbo City via the Teleportation Array and then headed eastward, bypassing the Near Sea Demon Cave. It had been a month since their journey began.

It had to be said that this top-grade magic ship provided by the Yuan Family was indeed fast.

Gliding across the sea surface, it could cover a distance of 40,000 miles in a day and night, on par with the escaping light of a middle-stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivator!

The difference was that while cultivators consumed significant Mana and True Yuan when traveling by escaping light and had to stop after a while to take Elixirs and practice their cultivation methods for recovery, the Black Canopy Magic Ship consumed the Spiritual Qi contained in Spirit Stones. The operator just needed to pay attention to replenishing the Spirit Stones and diverting a part of their mental focus to control the direction.

Shen Mo was impressed but had no intention of forging his own magic ship.

Large magic artifacts such as magic ships, Boat Houses, palaces, and pagodas, even if they were of low-grade, required astronomical amounts of spiritual materials for their forging, far surpassing magic treasures like Flying Swords and inner armor.

Back then, Wei Ye, E Xun, and others had exhausted their savings of over a hundred years to forge the Boat House for travel between Sea State and the ancient array islands.

Who could have guessed that the ancient array only led to the Sword Tomb Dungeon and didn’t benefit them at all?

If not for the relationship with Ming Yu later, which got them the qualification to trade with the forces under the control of Demon Lord Ming Cang, Wei Ye and the others would have likely lost even their shirts off their backs!

The Boat Houses they crafted were merely at the middle-grade profound level.

The Black Canopy Magic Ship of the Yuan Family had reached the top-grade profound level. The resources used to construct this ship were staggering... Shen Mo estimated that the high-class spiritual materials used in this ship would be enough for him to forge hundreds of top-grade profound level magic artifacts.

If one were to ignore the fact that high-class spiritual materials often had a price but no market, and measure only in terms of the value of magic artifacts, it would be equivalent to seven to eight thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Only a wealthy cultivation family with a deep foundation like the Yuan Family could afford to forge such a magic treasure!

If it weren’t for Yuan Chengshan being the third most important person in the Yuan Immortal Family—second only to Sect Master Yuan Qingshi and Bright Moon Peak Master Yuan Jing—the Yuan Family would never lend the Black Canopy Magic Ship to others.

After all, with such a powerful tool in their possession, even if the Riverside Sect was overrun by a demon calamity, the Yuan Family could preserve most of their core strength!

They could either find a new Blessed Land or wait for the Heavenly Demon to retreat; it wasn’t impossible that they’d have a chance to make a comeback.

Retracting his thoughts, Shen Mo looked ahead and said, "If we go further, it will be the barren sea area where the Spiritual Qi is poor."

"In addition to various dangerous areas, there will also be brutal and ignorant Sea Beasts invading..."

"Senior Sister Jiang, if you can’t hold on, remember to call me out with the Sound Transmission Conch, so I can lend you a hand!"

Practicing Alchemy and Forging magic artifacts on the magic ship was somewhat restrictive.

Therefore, Shen Mo simply had Ming Yu anchor The Smallest Space to Jiang Lingfeng, while he and Ming Yu hid in the small space to cultivate and carry out Alchemy and Forging respectively!

As for the Sound Transmission Conch, which connected the inside and outside, he gave it to Jiang Lingfeng to keep so she could call him through it if anything happened.

"Okay, I got it!" Jiang Lingfeng nodded.

Once he verified that the wind and waves couldn’t capsize the Black Canopy Magic Ship, Shen Mo, along with Ming Yu, once again returned to The Smallest Space.

It was much quieter here than in the magic ship’s cabin.

The Bamboo Pavilion built on Coral Island remained as it was. Shen Mo and Ming Yu exchanged greetings, then entered the house.

Two days ago, Shen Mo had successfully broken through a Minor Realm, advancing to Layer III of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Therefore, he was not in a rush for cultivation right now.

With a thought, he brought out the Destiny Panel. All his magic arts and cultivation methods had progressed, and the experience for his three secondary occupations had also improved.

After pondering for a while, Shen Mo then clicked to open the Destiny Disc column.

In these past few months, I’ve saved up quite a number of Destiny Points. I can advance my Special Destiny once again!

At present, ordinary enemies can hardly pose a lethal threat to me. However, entities like Heavenly Demons, the Dragon Rearing Pool, and other Demons and Evil Spirits are appearing more frequently...

I might as well upgrade [Uncommon Victory]. It’ll be very useful whether against Heavenly Demons or other Evil Spirits!

With these thoughts, Shen Mo invested his Destiny Points in the Special Destiny [Uncommon Victory].

[You attempt to advance Destiny [Uncommon Victory] by consuming Destiny Points, but the attempt has failed.]

[You attempt to advance Destiny [Uncommon Victory] by consuming Destiny Points, but the attempt has failed.]

[You attempt to advance Destiny [Uncommon Victory] by consuming Destiny Points, but the attempt has failed.]

Upgrading from green quality to blue quality consumes 10 Destiny Points per attempt. After trying eight more times, [Uncommon Victory (Green)] successfully upgraded to the blue Destiny.

[Uncommon Victory (Blue): Extraordinary Skill endowed with Buddhist blessings, having a strong power boost against Demons.]
