Chapter 890: Chapter 359: BeimingChu Xisheng thought that the Formless Divine Sect would arrange for his team to set sail together with Yan Guilai. However, when he led his group to the Dao Yi Hall, he discovered that the Formless Divine Sect had arranged two empty ships for them. One was the ‘Bathing Sun Divine Ship’ he had taken before, controlled by the Imperial Hall Master Yan Guilai. The other was the ‘Thunderbolt Cosmos Light Shuttle’, about thirty zhang long, much larger than the Bathing Sun Divine Ship. It was said to have been crafted from a piece of the Ancient God Spine brought out by the Eighth Generation Sect Master from the Time Secret Realm. This was what the sect had arranged for him. Considering Chu Xisheng needed to bring a large Xuanwu Giant Beast, they specially arranged a large ship for him. However, the speed of the Thunderbolt Cosmos Light Shuttle was much slower than the Bathing Sun Divine Ship. This flying shuttle was propelled by thunder and temporal power, its speed and fortitude far inferior to the Bathing Sun Divine Ship. Nevertheless, its explosive power was exceptionally strong, capable of using temporal power to travel rapidly, exceeding the Bathing Sun Divine Ship several times at its limit. Of course, the cost of this explosive speed was extremely high. As he boarded the shuttle, Chu Xisheng deliberately glanced at the ‘Blood Vengeance Divine Blade’ lying on the Divine Blade Platform. It was different from before; this blade now showed little interest in him, with no response throughout the process. Chu Xisheng sighed quietly. He thought, this is human nature. Not only people, but even a blade is like this. After boarding the ship, he found that most of his team, consisting of six people and three beasts, were not in high spirits, with low morale. Lu Luanyi, for some reason, was in a daze, blank and mumbling, repeatedly saying, ‘I am so stupid, how could I be so stupid,’ not knowing what madness had overtaken her. Chu Xisheng, knowing that this girl often acted erratically, paid it no mind. Ji Qianqian stood like a wooden person. She stood coldly at the front of the Cosmos Light Shuttle, gazing through the transparent crystal cover at the tip of the shuttle at the scenery outside, embodying a sense of melancholy akin to ‘The wind is bleak, the water is cold, the brave man’s journey does not return.’ As for Jian Cangfeng, who was placed into his team by the sect, he appeared listless, sighing incessantly. He too sat behind the crystal cover, staring blankly with his pea-like eyes at the ‘Bathing Sun Divine Ship’ on the other side of the ‘Thunderbolt Cosmos Light Shuttle’. Every once in a while, Jian Cangfeng would sigh lightly, then pick up the gourd in his hand and take a large swig. Chu Xisheng initially thought that was wine. But upon sniffing the scent, he found it was just plain water. Chu Xisheng guessed that Jian Cangfeng was lamenting not being grouped with Ye Zhiqiu, thus he was dispirited and unhappy. Yet he also found it odd. They were only divided into two teams, and being in the Immortal Palace didn’t mean they couldn’t meet, so was there really a need to be so dejected? There was also Zhou Liangchen, who had his brows furrowed into a ‘川’ and was filled with worry. Unlike the previous three, this guy was worried about his family. Twelve days ago, Chu Xisheng was contemplating how to persuade the Coastal Zhou Family to give up a spot, yet a token from the Zhou Family was delivered to him. The Zhou Family could no longer allocate a Sixth Grade master to participate in the Secret Realm, so they voluntarily gave up the other two spots and requested Chu Xisheng to take good care of Zhou Liangchen in the Secret Realm. This indicated that the situation of the Zhou Family was extremely dire. Zhou Liangchen’s mood also affected the Little Xuanwu. It lay sprawled on the deck in a lifeless manner. Chu Xisheng scanned the interior of the shuttle, feeling a headache coming on. Inside, only he and Chu Yunyun were normal. Even Chu Yunyun’s lifebound spirit pet, the ‘Little Lion’, appeared as though its oil and lamp had run dry. The Little Flat Head in Chu Xisheng’s belly was also dispirited. It hadn’t been out to play for a long time and was quite unhappy. But Chu Xisheng had told it that once his Primordial Skill reached Fourth Grade, it could come out and move freely, so the Little Flat Head could still endure. Considering none of the others were worth comforting, Chu Xisheng beckoned Zhou Liangchen over. “Didn’t I tell you? There’s no need to worry about home. Your uncle is an elder of the Star Constellation Immortal Sect; though he cannot intervene directly, he will find a way to help you. Also, several days ago, Qingxuzi, the Great Elder, responded to my request and ordered the Three Great Martial Arts Schools and the Purchasing Department of East State to take extra care of your family.” Zhou Liangchen’s spirits lifted slightly. The Formless Divine Sect had few branches in East State, only three martial arts schools and the East State Purchasing Department under the Internal Affairs Office. The schools were responsible for teaching martial arts and recruiting disciples, while the Purchasing Department focused on acquiring local resources for the Formless Divine Sect. These branch institutions were limited in power. But the key was their stance. As long as the Formless Divine Sect showed a protective attitude toward the Coastal Zhou Family, all sides would hesitate to some extent. Even Extreme East Ice City would weigh its actions. Seeing Zhou Liangchen still troubled, Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but break into laughter: “Actually, if your Zhou Family moves back to Xiushui County, there would be no major problem. You don’t know that the news about the changes in the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace rules was first revealed to our sect by the Princess of Extreme East Ice City.” Zhou Liangchen was stunned upon hearing this, blinking his eyes, and only understanding three breaths later. His heart settled back into his chest, and a smile returned to his face: “I’ll go to the rear to steer.” The ‘Thunderbolt Cosmos Light Shuttle’ mainly relied on spirit stones for power, making it much easier to operate compared to the Bathing Sun Divine Ship, which required Yang System Magic Power for propulsion. Zhou Liangchen was self-aware that on the entire ship, he was best suited for the task.
