Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Guifan Cave Crashing

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Zhu Junhou and Gu Liekong, who were in charge of commanding the warships were astonished. They knew about the Hailing Plains. However, in the past when they came down, they had never been there.

Although that region is where beasts were densely gathered, it was too far. Not to mention Gantian Mountain, the other cities, even hidden sects rarely went.

They wanted to persuade the ruler, but when they thought about the 800 energy destroying crossbows, they felt more confident.

However, this secluded land had its benefits. At least Taoyun City which had been established for 10 years also knew little about that place, pretty much nothing.

This was why they didn’t say anymore and ordered the fleet to turn south.

The journey from the cloud ocean whirlpool ladder towards the Hailing Plains was at least 4 days. This was the reason that the many sects and various powers rarely went over there to hunt beasts.

It was still okay for the sects. If Donglin city powers left their elites outside for long it would cause the city to weaken and attract trouble. Which was why when Gantian Mountain chose to hunt they chose nearby areas to finish quickly.

In these 4 days, Zong Shou locked himself within the sleeping palace. He sought help from Yiren about that purify word talisman and as expected he gained many benefits. Occasionally when he was free, he would speak to the introverted and careful Yiren or call Xuan Yunlan over to listen to some tunes. His days were carefree.

Apart from that, Zong Shou was thinking about something for the other half of the time. He took tens of beast leather, drawing and writing on it. It was like a ghost drawing a talisman, but if one looked carefully, one could recognize that it was a map.

Next would be the energy seed left by Zhao Yanran which he didnt make his mind up to cultivate. Her personality was causal and hard to read, vicious and then suddenly pure and innocent. Her thoughts were all over the place, making Zong Shou uncertain.

Although the reverse seed cauldron technique did not harm him, it wouldn’t be so simple since it was from Zhao Yanran.

Zong Shou didn’t care much. He didn’t fear her either. Even if it was that true energy seed cauldron technique, he had the confidence of winning in the end. He just didn’t like being plotted against by people. Even if one day he stepped into a trap, it should be after he saw through it and chose himself to step in.

He didn’t like girls with this type of personality.

This was why he would just take 2 hours to observe this item quietly.

On the 3rd day, he finally noticed something, his face revealing a smile.

“They did something. Turn from a guest into a master? Interesting…”

The so-called energy seed was a finger-sized shining thing. It was blood red and transparent.

There didn’t seem to be anything special about it but it was made up of the essence blood from her heart, using a secret technique done day by day for a year.

To a certain extent, it could even be considered a second soul. Holding it in his hand one could feel her soul.

However, within it, the talisman which should have been formed for the reserve technique was tampered with. It left Zhao Yanran some possibility of being able to turn from the guest to master.

If he couldn’t suppress it, this girl would instantly counter attack, sucking his essence blood, taking his cultivation. What an overbearing act.

Naturally, everything in this world is split into Ying and Yang. Since Zhao Yanran left herself such a possibility, the price she paid was far from that of a normal reverse technique.

He could control her life and death, manipulate her emotions.

However, if it was in normal times he wouldn’t care and most probably wouldn’t agree. However, such a situation made him more interested.

Smiling, Zong Shou didn’t hesitate and absorbed this energy seed into his body.

A portion turned into a thin blood-colored thread and merged into his true qi, circling and rotating in his chakra meridians.

Another portion entered his soul and stopped at the center of the soul ocean whirlpool before swiftly dissolving. It was the purest soul power. It caused the soul ocean to be dyed a layer of red.

However, the most core portion stopped above, tightly connected to the few true spiritual talismans.

In that instance, Zong Shou suddenly had some comprehension. He could feel her consciousness and could see the few true spiritual seeds in her soul ocean. He could even comprehend her martial path intent.

“This Seven Spirit Sect’s energy cauldron seed host secret technique is really interesting.”

It wasn’t much on the martial path side. Zhao Yanran would be the one taking advantage. As for the spiritual cultivation side, Zong Shou learned a lot.

Slightly meditating, he felt like his soul ocean seemed to be like adding oil to a fire. When cultivating, his soul power accumulated quicker and quicker.

If before he was cultivating with a two soul body, then now it was 3 soul meditation.

Along with this grade 10 saint spirit level great sky changing meditation technique, the speed of his progress was 10 times that of normal spirit master meditation.

His accumulation of true qi was also highly efficient.

It made him feel terrified and uneasy, not daring to continue to meditate like before.

Like such cultivation speed, in a few years, he could enter at least the Day Wandering realm. Wasn’t such a speed just too quick.

Before making things clear what the pros and cons are, Zong Shou didn’t dare go all out.

In the morning of the 4th day, Zong Shou came to the deck once more. Hu Zhongyuan and the others were there whilst Gu Liekong was on the high platform nearby using flags to command the fleet.

When Zong Shou arrived their expressions were all annoyed and filed with indignation.

“Taoyun City wants to go all out with us.”

Chai Yuan’s Son… Chai zhou’s expression was dark and sunken, he was suppressing his rage, “They have already followed for 3 days and still won’t stop. If this goes on why not turn around and fight! Even if we die at least it would feel good!”

Although Hu Zhongyuan and the others didn’t rush, they were all tempted.

Zong Yuan, Tan Tao and that Ling Xuan all kept silent, their expressions calm, not happy but not angry.

That Lingyun Sect’s Jing Tao looked at the scenery around, totally leaving himself out of the matter.

Zong Shou looked out in the distance and asked a few times. In just a moment he understood why these people were so furious.

The Taoyun City cloud ships not only followed them but any beast that got close to their ships, they send speed boats either chasing them away or directly stole them.

It causing their thousand cloud ships to only hunt ten thousand beasts. There were only a hundred grade 4 and above once. Indeed, it made one angry.

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed, he was similarly furious deep down. However, he had expected it long ago and it wasn’t worth him being angry.

“Is that Guifan Cave a little forward?”

When Gu Liekong heard that he was stunned, he didn’t expect Zong Shou to be so familiar with the geography here. After a moment he came back to his senses and replied, “yes. This area has a hundred thousand feet tall mountains separating. Above are many relentless storms and if ships go above they would be instantly torn to shreds. Only this naturally cave can be passed and is the nearest exit towards Hailing Plains.”

Zong Shou’s brows raised, thinking that as expected this gave already existed in this era. Between his brows instantly some relaxation and joy were shown.

“Tell all five tooth ships to pass through the Guifan Cave. Shoot out all the fire lightning arrows. You should know why…”

When Gu Liekong heard that he jolted before he was filled with joy.

Tan Tao’s eyelids jumped, judging Zong Shou like this was the 1st time he met him.

Just a few thousand fire lightning arrows used here could cause it to collapse. Totally destroying this shortcut that lasted for thousands of years.

This Zong Shou was vicious. However, this method didn’t sound too preposterous or inappropriate as such he didn’t speak.

Gu Liekong hurriedly made arrangements and a moment later Zong Shou’s ship entered a cave.

This cave could be considered wide. Even the most narrow portion was 2 thousand feet high and 4 thousand feet wide. Ying wind blew frenziedly like a ghost howling, the cold win striking people.

However, due to the wind being too intense, there weren’t many evil spirits within.

When all the cloud ships passed, all the five tooth giant ships equipped with three armed spiritual crossbows all shot at once.

In a moment an explosion sounded out in the sky, heaven, and earth. The entire mountain suddenly collapsed. Giant stones sealed up this giant cave.

The thousand cloud ships cheered out. Zong Shou could even hear the angry roars from the other side of the mountain.

“As expected, the prince had a plan!”

Tan Tao’s eyes shone brightly, his face filled with joy. He knew Zong Shou definitely had a method to shake them off but personally witnessing it was different.

“However, this method can at most stop them for 2 days..”

Zong Shou nodded his head, 2 days was an optimistic estimation. If they stopped for 36 hours, he would be satisfied.

Gu Liekong and Zhu Junhou knew that they couldn’t waste any more time. Without any instructions, they instantly ordered the ships to sail.

And on that night they finally arrived in Hailing Plains.

The area here was flat, vast and endless. The soil here was fertile, the ground covered in bluegrass, which was also filled with spiritual energy. Looking out it was like an ocean.

However, it was still a dangerous land. Normal trees were unable to survive here. The thing known as blue liquid grass contained a lot of poison. If normal people ate it they would die within 4 days.

The normal way to hunt in this cloud ocean was to spread out the boats, surround beasts and spirits before using bows to kill them.

However, at this moment everyone knew that the fleet of those 3 cities was about to arrive. Which was why they looked towards Zong Shou with a questioning gaze.
