<strong>Book 5: The Blood-red Cave</strong>
<strong>B5C1: Drifting</strong>
Qin Yu and Xiao Hei fly south extremely fast, leaving cities, mountain ranges, prairies andkes on the ground behind them one after another. A huge forest then appears before their eyes out of the blue.
“Xiao Hei,e down with me.” Qin Yu suddenly uses holy sensemunication.
Xiao Hei immediately stops flying and asks doubtfully: “Big brother, now we shouldn’t be far from the southern waters of the Qian Long continent. Why do you want to go into this forest instead of keeping flying?” He does not understand what Qin Yu wants to do.
“Ha-ha, you don’t understand this, right?” Smiling broadly, Qin Yu exins: “Do you know the distance between the Overseas Immortal Inds and the Qian Long continent?”
“I don’t know, but it shouldn’t be very long.” Xiao Hei looks doubtfully at Qin Yu. He still does not understand what the distance between the Overseas Immortal Inds and the Qian Long continent has to do with Qin Yu going into this forest exactly.
Qin Yu says with a smile: “Let me tell you, the nearest overseas immortal ind is 100-odd thousand li from here, and the Peni Immortal Region is even millions of li away. The enormousness of this ocean is basically not something you can imagine. Since the distance is so long, if we always fly on the ocean, it’ll be very boring.”
“Big brother, what do you mean?” Xiao Hei suddenly understands a bit.
“Let’s make arge ship and put it in the spatial ring. While wandering on the ocean, when we are bored, we’ll take it out and fish, or sunbathe, or enjoy the ocean’s winds on it. Flying all the time will be boring, right?” Qin Yu wants to make good preparations for a long-term wandering.
As a Xiuzhenist, his lifespan is almost limitless, thus he does not care about his time. And drifting on the ocean experiencing adventures is also a form of practice.
Xiao Hei bes excited at once: “Very good. Since this forest is so big, there must be huge trees here. Let’s find some quickly.” After saying, he simply does not wait for Qin Yu and dives down into the immense forest himself.
Qin Yu also dives down with a smile.
After entering this enormous forest, he and Xiao Hei discover that it has no traces of human presence and is thickly grassed over and wooded. Obviously this forest is a very ancient one.
Qin Yu and Xiao Hei go through the forest extremely fast, not worrying about its so-called wild beasts in the slightest. They only need to send out their auras a little and none of those wild beasts will dare to approach them.
“Ah, there’s a very thick redwood over there.” Xiao Hei suddenly says using his holy sense.
Qin Yu has also quickly detected that redwood, which is about 10-odd meters in diameter and can be considered rtivelyrge in this ancient forest. But he says with a sigh: “Too bad, there were so many big trees in the Wilderness, but we never thought about chopping down one to make a ship.”
There were no traces of human presence in the Wilderness for millions of years so those ancient trees had reached 70 to 80 m in diameter, and there were even some trees whose diameters had reached 100 m, which was simply very astonishing. This is the 1st ancient forest that Qin Yu and Xiao Hei have gone into since leaving the Wilderness, but even so those trees that have reached 100 m in diameter are nowhere to been seen.
“Big brother, this forest is still within the boundaries of the 3 big kingdoms. Even though there are no traces of human presence here, some Xiantian experts could’ve gone through it. Those extremelyrge trees are treasures so they must’ve been chopped down long ago.” Xiao Hei says powerlessly.
Qin Yu however is not willing to stop searching. A tree that is 10-odd meters in diameter is not small, but it is still far from what he wants.
“This forest is also veryrge. Let’s keep going through it to find a bigger tree.” Qin Yu makes a decision. Xiao Hei does not object to it and continues to fly extremely fast with him. As this man and this eagle travel, they use their holy senses to search carefully for an evenrger tree.
There are only a few Xiuzhenists on the whole Qian Long continent so it is extremely rare to see Xiuzhenists who use their holy senses in search of a tree like this.
In a short while Qin Yu and Xiao Hei have already covered 100 li, during which thergest tree Qin Yu has been able to detect was only about 20 m in diameter. He and Xiao Hei therefore keep searching.
To them, going 700 to 800 li across this forest is not considered far at all.
“Ah, Xiao Hei, there’s an exceptionallyrge tree 6 km ahead of us.” Qin Yu bes excited.
“An exceptionallyrge tree? Howrge is it?” Xiao Hei is also surprised. Howrge must that tree be to be able to amaze and excite Qin Yu? This forest is not one in the Wilderness so, even if there is a bigger tree, howrge can it be?
In only a short while, Qin Yu and Xiao Hei have alreadye close to that big tree.
“Wow, it’s like a huge wall.” Xiao Hei says in amazement using his holy sense. Qin Yu’s face is also full of excitement. This dark red old tree is surrounded by sinuous branches and looks as if it is carved out of rock. Obviously it is extremely hard.
The diameter of this old tree is even more shocking -- about 50 m --, which makes the tree look like a wall. Even though it cannotpare with some old trees in the Wilderness, a tree like this is still extremely difficult toe by outside the Wilderness.
“Good, let it be this tree. It’s already thick enough.” Qin Yu nods in satisfaction. The ming Sword then immediately flies out from his body and sends forth an indistinct and extremely long stream of ster energy.
This stream of ster sword energy is 10-odd meters long. Even though the old tree is extremely hard, it is still far from being able to withstand the sword energy.
Qin Yu smilingly points with a hand and the ming Sword instantly cuts through the tree’s base. It is 50 m in diameter but, under the power of the sword energy, it is cut offpletely in just a moment. Afterwards, the huge tree falls with a loud noise, knocking down several tens otherrge trees.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! ......
The ster sword energy easily removes the branches of the tree. This old tree is 300 to 400 m in length but an overly long tree is useless to Qin Yu so he cuts away the 200 m long part of the trunk that is thickest. He then starts making a ship carefully.
The way he makes the ship is very simple.
First he slices off all of the tree bark, leaving a smooth tree trunk. Having seen ships before, he cuts the trunk in half and casually picks out one part. He then carves a hole that is 30 m wide and 80 m long into it. This is the ce to sleep and rest.
“Ha-ha, with some casual defensive restrictive spells, this ship will be stronger than somerge ships in defense.” Qin Yuughingly sets up some defensive restrictive spells on the ship. He believes that it will not fall to pieces even when facing a hurricane.
Xiao Hei spits out his holy awl and uses it to carve some simple patterns on the ship as decorations. A ship has been created so simply.
“Well, very good, very not bad.” Xiao Hei looks at his carvings very satisfactorily.
Qin Yu grabs this quickly-made ship. With a thought, he sucks it into his spatial ring directly. Only his Menghuan ring can contain such arge ship. As for that storage bracelet, its space is too small.
“Xiao Hei, let’s go.”
Qin Yuughs out loud and soars into the sky directly. Xiao Hei also flies up right after him. Having created arge ship, they are very excited. Making something personally step by step feels totally different from buying something.
They immediately elerate. Qin Yu is standing on the ming Sword while Xiao Hei has also sped up by several times. Even though Qin Yu is not using the Body Weapon Unification technique and Xiao Hei is not using the Passing Lightning shing Nine Times, their speeds are still extremely fast.
After a half day, they finally reach the southern waters of the Qian Long continent.
Two beams of lightnd on the seashore and turn into a man and an eagle. As they take a look at the endless ocean, they cannot help feeling an intense pleasure. The blue ocean is refracting the sunlight into various colors such as azure and light purple, looking really very beautiful.
“Ah,pared to this area of water, the Qian Long continent is really nothing. The difference in size between them is too great.” Qin Yu cannot help saying emotionally while looking at the boundless ocean. “At first sight, the ocean seems to be very calm, but who knows how many undercurrents are surging in its depths, how many demonic beasts exist in it, and how many immortal inds and devil inds there are in the distance?”
Xiao Hei is very excited as well: “Wow, Xiuxianists, Xiumoists, all kinds of demonic beasts, and perhaps some treasures too, even imagining them alone makes me excited. Big brother, don’t think too much, let’s go.”
After saying, he spreads his wings and flies straight towards the boundless ocean. Qin Yu gives augh. A heroic spirit surges uncontrobly in his heart: “The boundless ocean, this is the world of Xiuzhenists.” His body also rushes towards the endless ocean like lightning.
A child who is collecting shells on the beach watches a man and an eagle fly towards the boundless ocean in stupefaction. After just a moment, this man and this eagle disappear from the horizon.
“Well, my eyes must’ve been dazzled. How can a human fly? And even fly so fast?” The child rubs his eyes then looks around carefully. But his surroundings are still quiet, as if that man and that eagle have never appeared.
“Well, looks like my eyes were really dazzled.” The childughs then continues to y with those shells.
Today, Qin Yu, the Qian Long continent’s unprecedented genius, who isparable to ate Jindan-stage expert at the age of only 20, the younger brother of the newly-established Qin dynasty’s emperor, Prince Yu of the Qin dynasty, has left the Qian Long continent this way.
In thest 20 years, he has helped the Qin n exterminate the Xiang n, unify the Chu kingdom and create the Qin dynasty.
A Xiuzhenist has an almost limitless lifespan so 20 years is just like a blink of an eye. What is going to happen to him in the several decades, several centuries and several millennia afterwards?
......
In the boundless ocean,
“Ha-ha, it feels so good.” Qin Yu is going by treading on the surging waves, brandishing his hands between them. He is currently wearing the clothes that Lei Wei forged in the past, with a pair of pants on the lower half of his body and only a ck sleeveless undershirt on his upper body. The muscles of his body’s upper half totally stand out.
At the moment Qin Yu is full of vitality. He is treading the waves freely, looking wild like a sea god.
“Ha!” He suddenly makes a wave of his hand. Many huge streams of water unexpectedly start to move around his body like the energy streams that appeared when he was practicing the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams in the past. However these water streams are 10 times thicker than the energy streams before and the area encircled by them is also 10 timesrger.
With the water streams moving around his body, Qin Yu is expressing his feelings wantonly.
All of a sudden he reaches out a hand and a big fish that weighs 10-odd jin floats up. Using only telekinesis, he has caught a big fist just like that.
“Xiao Hei, prepare to roast fish.”
He saysughingly to Xiao Hei in the sky. Then, with a wave of his hand, a huge object suddenly appears on the surface of the ocean. It is none other than theirrge wooden ship, which is 200 m long and is 50 m wide. Defensive restrictive spells have been set up on this ship so perhaps not even one of the 3 big kingdoms’ ships canpare with it in defense.
“Roast fish, wow, very good.” Xiao Hei dives down andnds directly on the deck.
With a jump, Qin Yu immediately gets on board from the ocean’s surface. He then goes directly into the center of the ship. This ship’s cabin is 30 m wide, 80 m long and 10 m deep. There are many things in the cabin such as waterbeds, a grill, fishing rods, and so on, which have been taken out from Lei Mountain House.
When wandering the universe Lei Wei enjoyed himself a lot so he naturally had these things. Qin Yu therefore has put them in the cabin of this ship.
“This grill master set up is really ...” Qin Yu keeps praising highly. To be exact, this grill is simr to an Eight Diagrams Furnace that is used to forge weapons. It is even much moreplex than an Eight Diagrams Furnace.
If the Ster me is used to roast ordinary foods directly, the foods will definitely be burnt to ashes, and therefore this special grill was made. Its various restrictive spells can alter the strength of the Ster me to achieve a suitable temperature.
“Big brother, frankly, the Qian Long continent’s spices are much inferior to the many spices your master left behind.” Xiao Hei says to Qin Yu while staring at the fish that is being roasted in the grill with glittering eyes.
Qin Yu has to admit this point. Lei Wei indeed had many spices, some of which were even mixed up by him personally. Many foods taste much better when those spices are added to them.
Chi chi ~~~
The fat of the roast fishes out all over. Xiao Hei is about to drool, but he must wait until the optimal temperature is attained.
“All right.” Qin Yu cuts the fish in half directly. He and Xiao Hei each take a half of this 10-odd jin big fish then start to eat it very happily. They eat up such arge fish but their stomachs do not change at all.
Suddenly --
Bang!
The ship shakes.
“What’s going on?” Qin Yu immediately makes a sweep using his holy sense. He then bursts outughing: “These sharks unexpectedly want to destroy my ship. Too bad, it’s very hard.” With defensive restrictive spells set up on it, this ship is really not something that these sharks can destroy.
He suddenly gives a smile: “But you have to pay a price for hitting my ship.”
Like an eagle with spread wings, he immediately flies out of the cabin. Making a push against the deck using his feet, he dives into the ocean. There are several tens sharks around the ship at the moment. Qin Yu quickly detects the leader of these sharks. With a jump he gets on this shark and grabs its fin directly. Feeling that someone is sitting on it, the shark starts to move like crazy at once, alternating between swimming underwater and jumping into the air.
“Behave!”
Qin Yu exerts the strength of his legs, pressing the shark to the point where it begins to cry miserably. At the same time, his ster energy rushes through the shark’s entire body. Feeling that Qin Yu is formidable, the shark stops resisting in an instant.
“This is good. Go ahead for me.”
Qin Yu rides the leading shark forwards. The other sharks follow him on one side. Xiao Hei also steers the ship to follow him on one side. Under Qin Yu’s control, this shiver of sharks continuously goes south. Xiao Hei then starts to fish. After all, roast fish taste really very good.
