975 Ancient Fusang Tree (1/2)

The sea and sky were boundless. Birds swirled around over the heaving waves. Huo Lishang felt the cold wind blowing over his face.

He put away the complicated feelings and looked down, shaking his head. He said in a low voice:

”Interesting.”

He activated the special art and tried to find his own ship.

The Night Emperor's ship was his palace, one of his base camps. It was made of all kinds of treasures and was full of Restrictive Spell Formations. For example, if he went close by the ship and activated the stamp, the ship would secretly operate its secret part and cover his trace, and then transfer the control power to the real emperor. That's why he dared to go close by the ship even when he was badly hurt and lost all his strength, and that's why he could claim Game is Over at any time. But this time, everything went out of his expectation and nobody could help him to control the formation. With the help of the Restrictive Spell and his concubines, he could easily defeat those non-Dharmakayas without Heavenly Weapons.

He could also get a grasp of the ship's condition by operating secret art to confirm its position and trace.

Though the Night Emperor was unrestrained he was not stupid. He did not bring any token, Heavenly Weapons, or pills with him. But he still prepared other things except for life-saving pills.

He said a secret spell and the sea turned dark in his eyes like boundless night sky, in which a bright only a star would shine brightly and that stood for the Night Emperor's ship.

But he could see nothing bright at all in the darkness.

It's missing… Huo Lishang stopped his spell with blank eyes.

His secret spell could sense nothing about the Night Emperor's Ship.

How come it disappeared!

Disappear…

The misty sea wind blew through his robes and he stood at the pier of Island of Ten Magnificence like a statue…

…

The Night Emperor's Ship sailed in a vast expanse of the sea, wrapped by darkness. Karma, feelings, vision, and hearing all seemed to be swallowed. Nobody could sense the ship's existence anymore.

Meng Qi sat down at the flowers stage cross-legged with a suspicious cloud above him. Its light shone all over the ship.

He looked at Yunyue, Youhu, etc., and smiled, ”With its help, even the Divine Fairy would not be able to find us. Now you feel reassured?”

He said it so peacefully with confidence. The Wu'Ji Seal, Dao Yi Seal, and Eight Nine mysteries were combined together to hide mysteries of heaven and the ship's trace, the best cloak.

Even the Divine Fairy would not be able to find us… then how about Lishang… Yunyue and Youhu opened their mouth slowly and forced a smile, ”Yes. Of course, of course.”

How come they would be unassured?

Meng Qi could sense their complicated emotions. He knew that they dared not say anything even though he got in in many trouble with ambassadors from Golden Turtle Island. He pretended that he noticed nothing as he needed this identity of the Night Emperor to ask the Golden Crow Sect for help to make Heavenly Weapons.

He carried a sea map which marked major places in Seven Seas and Twenty-Eight Worlds. He confirmed about the position of the Cloud Realm of No Thoughts with Liushang and Xiapei and then stretched his left hand. The void started to shake. The ship went through multiple layers of void blocks.

After a while, Liushang and other concubines noticed the change in blue sea. Every spray became a little cloud and was linked with each other. They felt as if they were in the sky with clouds. But if they touched those sprays, they would soon find out that those were still sea water.

Cloud sea rolled and appeared in the shape of different statues, some looked like mountains, some human, etc.

”We've arrived in the Cloud Realm of No Thoughts…” Yunyue concluded, staring at the sky and sea.

The Cloud Realm was quite far away from the Li Sea. Huo Lishang would need to use teleportation circles twice to get here, which would spend at least one or two hours. But this fake one only shifted the boat to the Cloud Realm of No Thoughts in just a second!

Probably only a Primeval Deity could be compared to him.

Then Yunyue and others thought about his turning stone into gold art and then got scared. This Lord Taiyi Han Guang might be an old monster who was much much more powerful than their own master.

He made such a precipitate wrong decision to exchange identity with this man!

Could he still come back?

Even if he made it, could he defend himself from the Divine Fairy ambassador's tracking?

Liushang looked at the stars with squinted eyes and calculated their current position. After a short while, she said with a smile, ”We are now getting very close to the Golden Crow Sect.”

”Good,” Meng Qi clapped his hands.

Liushang instructed the ship to go in the southeast direction. Later, they saw a big shadow appearing at the boundary between sea and sky. It seemed to be high mountains on some island.

As their ship got closer, they saw it clearly and it was not a mountain but an ancient tree that was even taller than mountains. It was divided into Yang and Yin and two parts supported each other. Its sang leaves were bathed in sunshine as if they were burning.

Ancient Fusang Tree… Meng Qi recollected what he read in those ancient books.

Deep in Donghai a Fusang tree was planted there. It was the place where God Hao Tian killed Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Taiyi's blood watered the tree and it could bear the heat of the sun.

Is this the one recorded in the book?
